OCTOBER 2ND, 2016
This is a celebration observed by several
Christian denominations that takes place on the
first Sunday of every October. This celebration
promotes Christian unity and ecumenical
cooperation. It focuses on an observance of the
Eucharist.
27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice
but rather of power and love and selfcontrol.” (2 Timothy 1:7) Many of us compartmentalize our Faith; we bring it out only
when we attend Mass or when we attend a
parish event. Being a good steward requires
discipline and striving to put God first in everything, all the time. The next time you are at
a neighborhood party, at work or out shopping, would your actions signal to others that
you are a good and faithful servant of our
Lord?

"Ningún siervo puede servir a dos señores.
Porque aborrecerá a uno y amará al otro, o se
apegará a uno y despreciará al otro. No se puede
servir a Dios y a las riquezas." (Lucas 16:13)
¿Es el dinero un "dios" que se pone delante de
Dios? Dar dinero para apoyar a la Iglesia y otras caridades es un pilar de nuestra Fe, así como
asistir a misa todos los domingos y participar en
el ministerio parroquial. Dar dinero nos libera
de ser un esclavo del dinero y aumenta nuestra
dependencia en Dios y confiar en que Él
proveerá todo lo que
necesitamos.
DIA DE LA
HISPANIDAD
Dios bendiga la generosidad de las personas que donaron tiempo,
alimentos y sus talentos para que
esta actividad se pudiera celebrar.
Que nuestra Señora la madre de Dios, en
sus diferentes advocaciones,
interceda por el bien y la paz en
nuestros países.
