Called to Serve
Dear sisters and brothers,
In their book Rebuilt, Father Michael White and Tom Corcoran describe the journey their church took towards becoming a more vibrant faith-filled community. Together as a parish they shared the call to reach
out to those who had fallen away from the practice of their faith White and Corcoran assert their belief
that the biggest need in our Catholic parishes today is a change in attitude from having a consumer’s
mentality to one of discipleship. We have been trained by advertisers all of our lives to be consumers and
it's easy for this mentality to slip into our spiritual life and our expectations regarding our faith. People
often only ask what am I going to get out of whatever I’m experiencing.
Jesus had a very different perspective. He called people to follow him, to become disciples and cited that
the one among us who serves the rest is the greatest. Liturgy is a Greek word which means the “work of
the people” and so our celebration of Sunday Mass is meant to be an encounter with our Living God in
which we are fed with the Word of God and the Eucharist , but at the same time is an opportunity to
serve each other in our community of faith.
We are very blessed by so many who live this call by serving as lectors, musicians, Eucharistic ministers,
sacristans, servers, ushers and greeters. Each weekend we all have opportunities to welcome visitors,
new members or to invite those who may be away from the faith. St. Lawrence is a microcosm of the
Universal Church with parishioners from so many different lands and cultures. Our openness to the richness of faith and the experience of others is also a gift and service that we offer.
May we continue to embrace the call of Jesus who sends us forth each week to be the Good News to
everyone we meet.
God Bless you!
Fr. Mike Muhr
Pastor
Whoever wants to become great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your
slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many.”
Matthew 20: 26-28

Llamado A Servir
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
En su libro Reconstruido, el Padre Michael White y Tom Corcoran describen el viaje de su iglesia se
llevó a convertirse en una comunidad más vibrante llena de fe. Juntos como una parroquia que
compartían la llamada a llegar a aquellos que se habían alejado de la práctica de su fe. El Padre White y Sr.
Corcoran afirman su creencia de que la mayor necesidad en nuestras parroquias hoy es un cambio en la
actitud de tener la mentalidad de un consumidor a una de ser un discipulado. Hemos sido entrenados
todas nuestras vidas para ser consumidores y es fácil con esta mentalidad deslizarse en nuestra vida
espiritual y nuestras expectativas con respecto a nuestra fe. A menudo la gente sólo pide lo que voy a
recibir.
Jesús tenía una perspectiva muy diferente. Llamó a la gente a seguirlo, para convertirse en
discípulos y citó que el uno de entre nosotros que sirve el resto es el más grande. Liturgia es una palabra
griega que significa el "trabajo de la gente", y así nuestra celebración de la Misa dominical está destinada
a ser un encuentro con Dios nuestra vida en la que se nos alimenta con la Palabra de Dios y la Eucaristía,
pero al mismo tiempo es una oportunidad para servir unos a los otros en nuestra comunidad de fe.
Estamos muy bendecidos por tantas personas que viven esta llamada de servir como los lectores,
músicos, ministros de la Eucaristía, sacristanes, servidores de hospitalidad, que dan la bienvenida. Cada fin
de semana todos tenemos la oportunidad de recibir a los visitantes, nuevos miembros o para invitar a los
que pueden estar lejos de la fe. San Lorenzo es un microcosmos de la Iglesia universal con feligreses de
tantos países y culturas diferentes. Nuestra apertura a la riqueza de la fe y la experiencia de otros es
también un regalo y el servicio que ofrecemos.
Podemos seguir abrazando la llamada de Jesús, que nos envía cada semana para ser la Buena
Nueva a todos los que conocemos.
¡Dios los bendiga!
Padre Mike Muhr
Mas entre vosotros no será así, sino que el que quiera
hacerse grande entre vosotros será vuestro servidor, y el
que quiera ser el primero entre vosotros será vuestro
siervo; como el Hijo del Hombre no vino para ser servido,
sino para servir, y para dar su vida en rescate por
muchos.

Dios todopoderoso y eterno, Pastor que guías a tu
pueblo. Te damos gracias por habernos concedido
al Obispo Roberto Lynch como obispo nuestro
durante los últimos veinte años.
Confiados en tu amor durante este tiempo de
transición, creemos que, una vez más, darás a la
Diócesis de St. Petersburg un pastor que nos
inspire a ser el corazón misericordioso de Cristo,
su voz de esperanza y sus manos de justicia.
Fortalece a nuestro nuevo obispo, para que guíe
nuestros pensamientos e ilumine nuestro corazón
con la verdad del evangelio, el poder de los
sacramentos, y el deseo de servirte en
todas las cosas. Te lo pedimos por
Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. Amén

Papa Francisco: Con la Asunción
de María vemos cómo Dios eleva
a los humildes:
En el mensaje previo al rezo del Ángelus por la Solemnidad de la Asunción de la Virgen María, el 15
de agosto, el Papa Francisco subrayó que en esta día vemos “que el Señor derriba a los poderosos de su
trono y eleva a los humildes”. El Evangelio de hoy, señaló el Papa, presenta “el encuentro entre María y
su prima Isabel, subrayando que ‘María partió y fue sin demora a un pueblo de la montaña de Judá’”.
“En aquellos días, María corría hacia una pequeña ciudad a los alrededores de Jerusalén para encontrar a
Isabel. Hoy, en cambio, la contemplamos en su camino hacia la Jerusalén celeste, para encontrar
finalmente el rostro del Padre y volver a ver el rostro de su Hijo Jesús”. El Santo Padre destacó que la
Virgen “muchas veces en su vida terrena había recorrido zonas montañosas, hasta la última etapa
dolorosa del Calvario, asociada al misterio de la pasión de Cristo. Ahora la vemos llegar a la montaña de
Dios, ‘revestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y una corona de doce estrellas en su cabeza’ –como dice
el Libro del Apocalipsis– y la vemos cruzar el umbral de la patria celeste”.
Santa María, indicó el Papa, “ha sido la primera en creer en el Hijo de Dios, y es la primera de
nosotros en ser elevada al cielo en alma y cuerpo”. “Fue la primera en recibir y tomar en brazos a Jesús
cuando era todavía niño y es la primera en ser recibida en sus brazos para ser introducida en el Reino
eterno del Padre”. El Santo Padre destacó que “María, la humilde y simple muchacha de un pueblo
perdido de las periferias del imperio romano, justamente porque ha recibido y vivido el Evangelio, es
admitida por Dios a estar para la eternidad junto al Hijo”. “Es así que el Señor derriba a los poderosos de
su trono y eleva a los humildes”. El misterio de la Asunción de María es grande, dijo, y “se refiere a cada
uno de nosotros, concierne nuestro futuro”. “María, de hecho, nos precede en el camino en la cual están
encaminados aquellos que, mediante el Bautismo, han ligado su vida a Jesús, como María ligó a Él su
propia vida”. El Papa señaló que el regocijo de María, expresado en el canto del Magníficat, “se
convierte en el canto de la humanidad entera, que se complace en ver al Señor inclinarse sobre todos los
hombres y todas las mujeres, humiles creaturas, y llevarlos con Él al cielo”.
“Y el cantico de María nos lleva también a pensar en tantas situaciones dolorosas actuales, en particular
a aquellas, de las mujeres oprimidas por el peso de la vida y del drama de la violencia, de las mujeres
esclavas de la prepotencia de los poderosos, de las niñas obligadas a trabajos deshumanos, de las
mujeres obligadas a rendirse en el cuerpo y en el espíritu a la concupiscencia de los hombres”. El Papa
Francisco expresó su deseo de que para estas mujeres pueda llegar pronto “el inicio de una vida de paz,
de justicia, de amor, en espera del día en el cual finalmente se sentirán tomadas por manos que no las
humillan, sino con ternura las levantan y las conducen en el camino de la vida, hasta el cielo”. “Y
pidamos al Señor que Él mismo las lleve en sus manos por el camino de la vida y las libere de estas
esclavitudes”, dijo.
Papa Francisco Vaticano-15 de Agosto 2016
