SOCIAL CONCERNS
The Poor Box for the month of July is for Interfaith
Housing Coalition, part of Interfaith Works. IHC
provides supported housing to homeless families. IHC
families live in one of 26 housing units scattered
throughout the County, supported by dedicated
professional case managers. When ready, families are
linked with teams of volunteer mentors through
Interfaith Works’ Friends in Action program, who give
guidance, support, and friendship as families work
towards economic independence and social stability.
Are you cleaning out your closets? Our Lady of
Lourdes on East West Highway has a homeless program
providing meals on Sunday nights and a “clothes closet”
where needy guests can obtain donated clothing? Men's
Clothing is always needed. You can bring items to Our

on Sundays and ask for location of drop off. Or you can

DECIMOQUINTO DOMINGO ORDINARIO
10 DE JULIO DE 2016
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús, responde a la pregunta
del doctor de la ley “¿qué debo hacer para salvar mi
alma?”, con otra pregunta: ¿qué es lo que está escrito
en la ley? El doctor de la ley responde: “amarás al Señor
con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma, con todas tus
fuerzas y con todo tu ser, y al prójimo como a ti
mismo”. Y como éste insistiera preguntando “¿y quién
es mi prójimo?”. Jesús le dice entonces la Parábola del
Buen Samaritano, aquel que ayuda a un hombre que es
asaltado y queda medio muerto en el camino. Luego
Jesús le pregunta al letrado: “¿quién es el prójimo?”, a
lo que el letrado le responde “El que practicó la
misericordia con él” Jesús le dice:”Anda, haz tu lo
mismo” Emulemos a Jesús, ayudando a nuestros
hermanos que se encuentren en problemas.

JULIO 16, NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL CARMEN
Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo, referida comúnmente
como Virgen del Carmen o Nuestra Señora del Carmen, es
una de las diversas advocaciones de la Virgen María. Su
denominación procede del llamado Monte Carmelo,
en Israel, un nombre que deriva de la palabra Al-Karem y
que se podría traducir como 'jardín'. Existen hoy órdenes
carmelitas repartidas por todo el mundo, masculinas y
femeninas, las cuales giran en torno a esta figura
mariana. EL ESCAPULARIO: El 16 de julio de 1251, la
imagen de la Virgen del Carmen se le habría aparecido
a San Simón Stock, superior general de la Orden, al que
le entregó sus hábitos y el escapulario, principal signo del
culto mariano carmelita. Según es tradición la Virgen
prometió liberar del Purgatorio a todas las almas que
hayan vestido el escapulario durante su vida, el sábado
siguiente a la muerte de la persona y llevarlos al cielo,
creencia respaldada por los Pontífices.
EL MINISTERIO DE COMPASIÓN DE SAN ESTEBAN
Bajo la directa supervisión del Padre Mark Knestout, los
Ministros de San Esteban, miembros de nuestra

momento de confusión, estrés o soledad. La intención de
Dios no es que suframos solos. Información con:
