Reflection from the Pastor:
Last week we heard the account of the cure of the deaf and mute man (Mark
7:31-37), and now this week we hear in our First Reading this line, “The Lord
God opens my ear that I may hear; and I have not rebelled, have not turned
back”. Traditionally, the Church applies this entire passage to Jesus and his
suffering. We can also consider how a Christian who has had his “ears
opened” is now prepared to be obedient, to listen carefully to God’s will and
to follow God faithfully in good times and in bad. We have faith that
although we might suffer for a time, God will save us: “See, the Lord God is
my help; who will prove me wrong?”
Bulletin Bits from the Diocesan Stewardship Office
"The Joy of the Gospel: Faith Working Through Love”
You are the Christ! Our faith in God compels us to listen to the words of scripture and
take them to heart. As the prophet Isaiah tells us, when God calls us to follow him, he is
there beside us along the way. St. James reinforces the idea of actively responding to the
Word of God. Unless our actions display our faith, we cannot claim to be following the
call of our Father. Jesus clearly tells us that if we wish to be his disciple, we must deny
our self and take up our cross. The journey to the Father's heavenly kingdom is not
another thing to do, it is everything we do. May our minds understand the Father's Love
and our hearts share that love with our brothers and sisters on earth.

Salvation & Redemption
Meditación del Párroco:
La semana pasada escuchamos la cuenta de la cura del hombre sordo y mudo (Marcos 7: 31-37), y ahora esta
semana escuchamos en la primera lectura esta línea: "El Señor Dios abre me ha hecho oír sus palabras y yo no
he opuesto resistencia, ni me he echado para atrás”. Tradicionalmente, la Iglesia aplica todo este pasaje a Jesús
y su pasión. También podemos considerar cómo un cristiano que “se abre los oídos” ahora se prepara para ser
obediente, a escuchar con atención a la voluntad de Dios y seguir fielmente a Dios en las buenas y en las malas.
Tenemos fe en que a pesar de que podríamos sufrir por un tiempo, Dios nos salvará: "El Señor es mi ayuda,
¿quien se atreverá a condenarme?"

“La Alegría del Evangelio: La Fe Obra en el Amor”
Vigésimo cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
¡Tú eres el Cristo! Nuestra fe en Dios nos empuja a escuchar
las palabras de la Escritura y que las tomemos muy en
cuenta. Así como el profeta Isaías nos dice, cuando Dios nos
llama a seguirle, Él está allí junto a nosotros en el camino.
San Santiago reitera esa idea de responder activamente a la
Palabra de Dios. A menos que nuestras acciones reflejen
nuestra fe, no podemos pregonar que estamos siguiendo el
llamado de nuestro Padre. Jesús claramente nos dice que si
deseamos ser sus discípulos, debemos negarnos a nosotros
mismos y cargar nuestra cruz. El camino hacia el Padre en
el reino celestial no es otra cosa que tengamos que hacer,
sino todas las cosas que hacemos. Que nuestras mentes
entiendan que el amor del Padre y nuestros corazones
comparten el amor con nuestros hermanos y hermanas en la
tierra.
El padre Reilley estará de vacaciones la semana próxima.
Por favor manténganlo en sus oraciones. No tendremos
misa durante la semana del 14 al 18 de septiembre.

Nuestra siguiente reunion será el jueves 17 de
septiembre a las 6:00 p.m. en la cafetería.
