BARNS FILLED WITH RICHES
GRANEROS LLENOS DE BIENES
The mortgage is paid off. So are the loans that were
taken out for college tuition and children’s weddings. The
second home that was once a far-off dream is now so close
that it seems safe to
dig out the real
estate
magazines.
And then . . . a
daughter or son can
no longer take care
of a child. It’s time to
start over, this time
as grandparents in
the parents’ role.
Thousands of older
adults
face
this
situation
today,
becoming temporary
or
permanent
guardians of their
grandchildren.
Vanity of vanities. The years of toil with sights set on
a great reward now belong to someone else: food, clothing,
braces, summer camps, and school tuition.
But, as one grandmother said of her 13-year-old
granddaughter, Megan, “It has all been worth it. She brings
such joy. What would I do without her?”
And so the barns filled with “riches” are again taken
down and new and true riches are discovered. Once again a
new self is found in Christ, and the storehouse is filled with life
that is truly pleasing to God.

Ya pagamos la hipoteca. Y también los préstamos que
se tomaron para el pago de la universidad y las bodas de los
hijos. La segunda casa, que una vez fue un sueño lejano está
ahora tan cerca que
sería
recomendable
empezar a revisar las
revistas
de
bienes
raíces. Y en ese momento. . . un hijo o una hija
no puede atender a su
propio hijo. Es entonces
tiempo de volver a
empezar, esta vez como
abuelos en el rol de
padres. Miles de adultos
mayores se enfrentan
hoy a esa situación, y se
convierten en tutores
temporales o permanentes de sus nietos.
Vanidad de vanidades. Los años de trabajo arduo con
miras a una gran jubilación hoy pertenecen a alguien más:
comida, ropa, ortodoncia, campamentos, escolaridades.
Pero, como dijo una abuela de su nieta de 13 años,
“Todo ha valido la pena. Ella me da una enorme alegría. ¿Qué
haría yo sin ella?”
Y así el granero lleno de “bienes” se vacía y
descubrimos nuevas y verdaderas riquezas. Otra vez
encontramos nueva vida en Cristo, y el almacén se llena de la
vida que realmente agrada a Dios.

Pope Francis first encyclical Letter:
“Lumen Fidei- On the Light of Faith”
This week I will share more of Pope Francis’s first encyclical
letter. Last week we learned that the lack of faith leads us to an
illusion and causes darkness in our lives and that Christian
believers are guided by the light of Christ as you will see in
paragraphs 4 and 5.
4. There is an urgent need, then, to see once again that
faith is a light, for once the flame of faith dies out, all other
lights begin to dim. The light of faith is unique, since it is
capable of illuminating every aspect of human existence. A
light this powerful cannot come from ourselves but from a
more primordial source: in a word, it must come from God.
Faith is born of an encounter with the living God who calls us
and reveals his love, a love which precedes us and upon which
we can lean for security and for building our lives. Transformed
by this love, we gain fresh vision, new eyes to see; we realize
that it contains a great promise of fulfilment, and that a vision
of the future opens up before us. Faith, received from God as a
supernatural gift, becomes a light for our way, guiding our
journey through time. On the one hand, it is a light coming
from the past, the light of the foundational memory of the life
of Jesus which revealed his perfectly trustworthy love, a love
capable of triumphing over death. Yet since Christ has risen and
draws us beyond death, faith is also a light coming from the
future and opening before us vast horizons which guide us
beyond our isolated selves towards the breadth of communion.
We come to see that faith does not dwell in shadow and
gloom; it is a light for our darkness. Dante, in the Divine
Comedy, after professing his faith to Saint Peter, describes that
light as a "spark, which then becomes a burning flame and like
a heavenly star within me glimmers".[4] It is this light of faith
that I would now like to consider, so that it can grow and
enlighten the present, becoming a star to brighten the horizon
of our journey at a time when mankind is particularly in need of
light.
5. Christ, on the eve of his passion, assured Peter: "I have
prayed for you that your faith may not fail" (Lk 22:32). He then
told him to strengthen his brothers and sisters in that same
faith. Conscious of the duty entrusted to the Successor of Peter,
Benedict XVI proclaimed the present Year of Faith, a time of
grace which is helping us to sense the great joy of believing and
to renew our wonder at the vast horizons which faith opens up,
so as then to profess that faith in its unity and integrity, faithful
to the memory of the Lord and sustained by his presence and
by the working of the Holy Spirit. The conviction born of a faith
which brings grandeur and fulfilment to life, a faith centred on
Christ and on the power of his grace, inspired the mission of the
first Christians. In the acts of the martyrs, we read the following
dialogue between the Roman prefect Rusticus and a Christian
named Hierax: "‘Where are your parents?’, the judge asked the
martyr. He replied: ‘Our true father is Christ, and our mother is
faith in him’".[5] For those early Christians, faith, as an encounter with the
living God revealed in Christ, was indeed a "mother", for it had
brought them to the light and given birth within them to divine
life, a new experience and a luminous vision of existence for
which they were prepared to bear public witness to the end.
We learn from the above paragraphs that the light of faith
in Christ is a necessity and must be present in our lives. This
light of faith is born of an encounter with the living God who is
manifested in Christ, who is present, who is our reality, who is
our future and who is assured by the inspiration and works of
the Holy Spirit when we follow the light of faith.
La Primera Carta Encíclica de el Papa Francisco:
“Lumen Fidei – La Luz de la Fé”
Esta semana compartiré con ustedes mas de la primera carta
Encíclica de el Papa Francisco. La semana pasada aprendimos
que la falta de Fé nos lleva a una vida ilusoria llena de oscuridad
y tinieblas. Yo también mencione que nosotros los Cristianos
somos guiados por la Luz de Cristo como ustedes lo verán en
los párrafos 4 y 5.
4. Por tanto, es urgente recuperar el carácter luminoso
propio de la fe, pues cuando su llama se apaga, todas las otras
luces acaban languideciendo. Y es que la característica propia
de la luz de la fe es la capacidad de iluminar toda la existencia
del hombre. Porque una luz tan potente no puede provenir de
nosotros mismos; ha de venir de una fuente más primordial,
tiene que venir, en definitiva, de Dios. La fe nace del encuentro
con el Dios vivo, que nos llama y nos revela su amor, un amor
que nos precede y en el que nos podemos apoyar para estar
seguros y construir la vida. Transformados por este amor,
recibimos ojos nuevos, experimentamos que en él hay una gran
promesa de plenitud y se nos abre la mirada al futuro. La fe,
que recibimos de Dios como don sobrenatural, se presenta
como luz en el sendero, que orienta nuestro camino en el
tiempo. Por una parte, procede del pasado; es la luz de una
memoria fundante, la memoria de la vida de Jesús, donde su
amor se ha manifestado totalmente fiable, capaz de vencer a la
muerte. Pero, al mismo tiempo, como Jesús ha resucitado y nos
atrae más allá de la muerte, la fe es luz que viene del futuro,
que nos desvela vastos horizontes, y nos lleva más allá de
nuestro « yo » aislado, hacia la más amplia comunión. Nos
damos cuenta, por tanto, de que la fe no habita en la oscuridad,
sino que es luz en nuestras tinieblas. Dante, en la Divina Comedia, después de haber confesado su fe ante san Pedro, la
describe como una « chispa, / que se convierte en una llama
cada vez más ardiente / y centellea en mí, cual estrella en el
cielo »[4]. Deseo hablar precisamente de esta luz de la fe para
que crezca e ilumine el presente, y llegue a convertirse en estrella
que muestre el horizonte de nuestro camino en un tiempo en el
que el hombre tiene especialmente necesidad de luz.
5. El Señor, antes de su pasión, dijo a Pedro: « He pedido por
ti, para que tu fe no se apague » (Lc 22,32). Y luego le pidió que
confirmase a sus hermanos en esa misma fe. Consciente de la
tarea confiada al Sucesor de Pedro, Benedicto XVI decidió convocar este Año de la fe, un tiempo de gracia que nos está ayudando a sentir la gran alegría de creer, a reavivar la percepción
de la amplitud de horizontes que la fe nos desvela, para confesarla en su unidad e integridad, fieles a la memoria del Señor,
sostenidos por su presencia y por la acción del Espíritu Santo. La
convicción de una fe que hace grande y plena la vida, centrada
en Cristo y en la fuerza de su gracia, animaba la misión de los
primeros cristianos. En las Actas de los mártires leemos este
diálogo entre el prefecto romano Rústico y el cristiano Hierax: «
¿Dónde están tus padres? », pregunta el juez al mártir. Y éste
responde: « Nuestro verdadero padre es Cristo, y nuestra madre, la fe en él »[5]. Para aquellos cristianos, la fe, en cuanto
encuentro con el Dios vivo manifestado en Cristo, era una «
madre », porque los daba a luz, engendraba en ellos la vida
divina, una nueva experiencia, una visión luminosa de la
existencia por la que estaban dispuestos a dar testimonio público
hasta el final.
Aprendemos de estos párrafos que la Luz de Fé en Cristo es una
necesidad y tiene que estar presente en nuestras vidas. Esta
luz de fé nace de nuestro encuentro con el Dios vivo quien se
ha manifestado en Cristo, quien esta presente, quien es una
realidad, quien es nuestro futuro, y quien es afirmado por la
inspiración y el trabajo de el Espiritú Santo cuando nosotros
seguimos la Luz de la Fé

FEAST OF ST. LAWRENCE
We celebrate the martyrdom of our Patron Saint, St. Lawrence, on August 10. St. Lawrence, a deacon of the Roman
Catholic Church, was one of several victims of the persecutions
of Valerian, the Emperor of Rome. In 258. St. Lawrence and
many other religious members of the clergy; bishops, priests
and deacons were put to death upon the edict issued by Valerian.
St. Lawrence has always been one of the most honored
martyrs of the Church. Several places of honor and the basilicas
named for St. Lorenzo were built and remain to this day. It is
said that when asked to bring forward the treasures of the
Church, St. Lawrence brought forward the poor, among whom
he divided the treasure, in place of alms. Our beloved
St. Lawrence lived in true harmony with the Lord, caring for
those who had little or nothing in material goods and who
believed
in the salvation promised to us by Christ.
Truly, St. Lawrence was transformed before his death into
the image of his Master. On the Feast Day of our Patron Saint,
honor him with a prayer for his compassion and perform a
random act of kindness, helping a brother or sister in need.
May the spirit of St. Lawrence rest with and in you.

In the Gospel, Jesus tells the parable about the rich man who
selfishly stored all his grain and goods only to die and not
enjoy his abundance anyway. What we struggle all our lives
to learn is that life does not consist of possessions nor our
perceived security, but of being possessed by God.
En Español
This week, as you give your gift to the Society of St, Vincent de
Paul to help the struggling poor, ask for the grace to be truly
“possessed by God.” Many of you continue to help our Conference with your gifts, especially last weekend through your donations of new and gently used items collected on Bundle Sunday. The items you contributed will help the St. Vincent Store
and the Conference support those in need. Thank you.

Capital Campaign/Campana Capital Combinada
The renovation has commenced and we are now
celebrating Mass in St. Lawrence Hall! Thank you to everyone
that assisted in making the move and transition to our temporary
church setting. Your help was immensely appreciated. Hopefully the
renovation will proceed as scheduled, and we should be back in
our renovated church in time for December Advent activities.
As we proceed with the renovation, every effort will be made
to communicate to you the progress being made and general
renovation highlights.
Since we have not yet reached our goal of $1.35 million, we
ask that if you have not pledged yet, now is time to consider
doing so. It is your opportunity to be a part of St. Lawrence
Parish history. Given this need, we will continue the capital
campaign until we have reached our goal. Your gift is greatly
needed and appreciated as the parish belongs to everyone that
calls St. Lawrence their place of worship. Should you have any
concerns concerning the campaign and how you can make a
pledge, call the Parish Office and staff will assist you. Also,
remember that volunteers from the Campaign Committee are
available after each weekend Mass to assist you with your
questions. The renovation project is in progress as we continue
"A Journey Together in Building Our Faith." May the Lord
continue to guide our decisions and may His blessings shine on our
parish.
La renovaciόn ha comenzado y ahora ya estamos celebrando
las Misas en el Salόn San Lorenzo. Gracias a todos los que nos
ayudaron a movernos al salόn. Apreciamos su ayuda inmensamente. Esperamos que la renovaciόn proceda de acuerdo a
lo planeado para regresar a la Iglesia en Diciembre para el
Adviento. Mientrás procedemos con la renovaciόn, se hará
todo esfuerzo posible por comunicarle a la comunidad del
progreso de la renovaciόn.
Como aun no hemos alcanzado nuestra meta de $1,350,000,
les pedimos a todos aquellos que aun no han hecho su
promesa, que la hagan ahora. Esta es una gran oportunidad de
ser parte de la historia de San Lorenzo. Dada esta necesidad,
continuaremos con la Campaña Capital hasta lograr nuestro
objetivo. Tu regalo es altamente apreciado, pues la parroquia
pertenece a todo aquel que llama San Lorenzo su lugar de
alabanza. Si tienes alguna duda acerca de la campaña o como
hacer tu compromiso, llama a la oficina y el personal podrá
ayudarle. También, recuerda que los voluntarios de la campaña
están disponibles todos los fines de semana después de las
Misas. Que nuestro Dios continue guiando nuestras decisiones
y que Sus bendiciones brillen en nuestra parroquia.
