Parishioner Benefits
As we can see in Sacred Scripture, mercy
is a key word that indicates God’s action
towards us. He does not limit himself to
affirming his love, but makes it visible and
tangible. Love, after all, can never be just
an abstraction. By its very nature, it
indicates something concrete: intentions,
attitudes, and behaviors that are shown in
daily living. The mercy of God is his loving
concern for one of us. (S9)
The Diocese of San Jose will hold its annual Catholic
Education Appeal the weekend of September 10-11 at the
Diocese's 54 parishes. The appeal raises funds for the
tuition assistance program for the diocesan Department of
Education.

Como se puede notar,
la misericordia en la
Sagrada Escritura es la
palabra clave para indicar el actuar de Dios hacia
nosotros. Él no se limita a
afirmar su amor, sino que
lo hace visible y tangible.
El amor, después de todo,
nunca podrá ser un palabra abstracta. Por
su misma naturaleza es vida concreta:
intenciones, actitudes, comportamientos
que se verifican en el vivir cotidiano.
La misericordia de Dios es su
responsabilidad por nosotros. (S9)

First Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy
Liturgy Corner by: Deborah Ferry
(taken from The Introduction To The New American Bible)
The three letters, First and Second Timothy and Titus, form a
distinct group within the Pauline corpus. In the collection of
letters by the Apostle to the Gentiles, they differ from the others
in form and contents. All three suggest they were written late in
Paul's career. The opponents are not "Judaizers" as in Galatians
but false teachers stressing "knowledge". Attention is given
especially to correct doctrine and church organization. The three
letters are addressed not to congregations but to those who
shepherd congregations. These letters were first named
"Pastoral Epistles" in the eighteenth century because they all are
concerned with the work of a pastor in caring for the community
or communities under his charge.
The first of the Pastorals, 1 Timothy, is presented as having
been written from Macedonia. Timothy, whom Paul converted,
was of mixed Jewish and Gentile parentage. He was the
apostle's companion on both the second and the third
missionary journeys and was often sent by him on special
missions. In 1 Timothy, he is described as the administrator of
the entire Ephesian community.
The letter instructs Timothy on his duty to restrain false and
useless teaching and proposes principles pertaining to his
relationship with the older members of the community and with
the presbyters. It gives rules for aid to widows and their selection
for charitable ministrations and also deals with liturgical
celebrations, selections for the offices of bishop and deacon,
relation of slaves with their masters, and obligations of the
wealthier members of the community. The central passage of the
letter expresses the principal motive that should guide the
conduct of Timothy--preservation of the purity of the church's
doctrine against false teaching. On this same note the letter
concludes.
The principal divisions of the First Letter to Timothy are the
following:
I. Address
II. Sound Teaching
III. Problems of Discipline
IV. Duties toward Others
V. False Teaching and True Wealth
VI. Final Recommendation and Warning
Every Monday and Thursday

Eucharistic
ALTAR SERVER
Adoration
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN ALTAR SERVER?
St. Lawrence the Martyr Parish and Education Center welcomes young Catholics,
4th grade and above, to participate in the Altar Server Ministry. This ministry is a
service to respond to our baptismal calling. God has given us a gift to serve one
another. As an altar server, you serve the assembly by helping the presider (priest)
throughout the celebration of the mass; you learn what it means to celebrate the
Eucharist and to be a good steward of God’s gift at this parish community!
All who are interested must have received first Holy Communion, can serve at one
of the weekend mass on rotation (approx. 1x month) and the Wednesday school
mass.
Training will be scheduled starting in September. Please complete form and return
to Parish Office or email the following information to Anna Chitwood at

UN AMOR GRATUITO, INMERECIDO
La experiencia de Dios y de su amor
es totalmente personal. Cada uno ha
tenido y sigue teniendo su historia de
amor con Él, pues cada hombre es
para Él como si fuera un hijo único.
Ese amor lo pone de manifiesto con
cada ser humano de una manera irrepetible. Así fue
con Adán, así fue con Eva, así ha seguido siendo
con todos y cada uno de los miles de millones de
seres humanos que han poblado el planeta.
Una característica del amor de Dios, es que ese
amor no nos lo merecemos. El amor de Dios es
gratuito, es inmerecido. No hemos hecho nada,
absolutamente nada, para merecer ese amor, pero la
grandeza del amor de Dios se manifiesta en que Él
dio la vida por nosotros cuando nos encontrábamos
manchados por el pecado.
Dios viene en ayuda de nuestra debilidad y nos dice,
tajantemente, que su amor es gratuito, que no nos
quiere porque lo merezcamos; que es su infinita
generosidad la que ha saldado nuestras deudas.
Naturalmente que este amor de Dios engendra un
riesgo: el del abuso que el hombre puede hacer de
él.
Es importante primeramente saber que Dios te
quiere y lo segundo, sin lo cual arruinas el efecto de
lo primero, es que tú debes querer a Dios.
THE EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS
September 14, 2016
The feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross celebrates two historical events:
the discovery of the True Cross by Saint Helena, the mother of the Emperor
Constantine, in 320 under the temple of Venus in Jerusalem, and the
dedication in 335 of the basilica and shrine built on Calvary by Constantine,
which mark the site of the Crucifixion.
The basilica, named the Martyrium, and the shrine, named the Calvarium,
were destroyed by the Persians in 614. The Church of the Holy sepulcher
which now stands on the site was built by the crusaders in 1149.
However the feast, more than anything else, is a celebration and
commemoration of God's greatest work: his salvific death on the Cross and
His Resurrection, through which death was defeated and the doors to
Heaven opened.
Este concepto de la gratuidad del amor divino, de
que no nos lo merecemos ni lo mereceremos por
mucho que hagamos, es tan importante que sólo Él
es capaz de eliminar el peor de los pecados: la
soberbia. Dios te quiere no por tus méritos, sino
porque es tu Padre; agradéceselo, pues;
agradécese-lo amándole; ámale con todo tu
corazón, pero sabiendo que no estás "pagando",
ni "comprando", ni "anulando" una deuda porque
lo recibido no tiene comparación alguna con lo
devuelto. Mantén, por lo tanto, el sentido justo de las
cosas y no te engañes creyendo que has cumplido y
que no tienes nada que agradecerle a Dios. Todo se
lo debías y, por mucho que hagas, casi todo se lo
sigues debiendo. Sólo así puedes ser, de verdad,
santo, porque sólo así es posible ser humilde a la
vez que se hacen cosas grandes.
Padre Santiago Martin.
The entrance antiphon for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is:
"We should glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, for he is our salvation,
our life and our resurrection: through him we are saved and made free."

A clean heart
