STEWARDSHIP CORNER - LA ESQUINA DE STEWARDSHIP
“STEWARDSHIP”
TIME & TALENT - Weekend of September 22-23
What is “Time & Talent” Weekend? “Time & Talent Weekend” gives parishioners an opportunity to learn about the
different Ministries offered at St. Louis and invites them at the weekend Masses to consider joining a Ministry. Special talks will
be given at each Mass. We thank God for all the people, or rather “STEWARDS”, who work so hard in all our Ministries right
now. God Bless you all.
“Time & Talent” are two of the three T’s of Stewardship. The greatest misunderstanding about Stewardship is that
most people think it is all about money, the third “T” of Time, Talent and Treasure. Stewardship is really about Evangelization,
building your faith in Christ, and sharing your faith with others. Now is a wonderful time to prayerfully consider joining a
ministry, if you are not involved. And become more involved in our Faith community by giving of your Time and Talent. In our
Scriptures, “James 2:26” it says: Faith without works, is as dead as a body without breath. Your Time in prayer in Adoration
for instance, is magnificent.
New to our Parish of St. Louis? If you are new in the area, new to our parish, or you have been coming for awhile,
but you have not yet registered? We invite you to complete a parish registration form, which is available at the Welcome Table
located in the entrance of the church. Our Welcome Table is there to help. Please stop by and ask any questions you may
have. “WE ARE HERE TO SERVE YOU.”
“The promotion of the practice of Stewardship is important for the Mission of the Church and for the spiritual wellbeing of each individual Christian. Everyone benefits from the sacrificial gifts of our Time, Talent & Treasure.”
- Pope Benedict XVI

¿Qué es el Fin de Semana de “Tiempo y Talento”? El Fin de Semana de “Tiempo y Talento” le da la oportunidad a los
feligreses de informarse sobre los diferentes Ministerios ofrecidos en St. Louis, y en las Misas del fin de semana los invitamos
a considerar su participación en un Ministerio. En cada Misa se darán charlas especiales. Le damos gracias a Dios por toda
la gente magnífica, es decir, los STEWARDS, que actualmente laboran en nuestros Ministerios. Dios los bendiga por su
magnífica labor día tras día.
“Tiempo y Talento” son dos de las tres T’s de Stewardship. El mayor malentendido con respecto a Stewardship es
que la mayoría de la gente piensa que se trata nada más que de dinero, de la tercera “T” de Stewardship de Tiempo, Talento
y Tesoro. En realidad Stewardship tiene que ver con Evangelización, fortaleciendo tu fe en Cristo y compartiendo tu fe con
otros. Ahora es un momento estupendo de orar y considerar unirse a un ministerio, si no estás involucrado. Y de considerar
involucrarse más en nuestra comunidad de Fe dando de tu Tiempo y Talento. En nuestras Escrituras, Santiago 2:26 dice:
Porque así como un cuerpo sin espíritu está muerto, así también la fe que no produce obras está muerta. Por ejemplo, tu
Tiempo en oración ante el Santísimo es magnifico.
¿Nuevo en nuestra Parroquia de St. Louis? Si eres nuevo en el área, nuevo en la parroquia, o hace algún tiempo que
estás viniendo pero ¿no te has inscrito todavía? Te invitamos a llenar una planilla de inscripción en la parroquia, disponible
en la Mesa de Bienvenida a la entrada de la iglesia. Nuestra Mesa de Bienvenida está para ayudarte. Por favor, pasa por la
Mesa y haz cualquier pregunta que puedas tener. “ESTAMOS AQUÍ PARA SERVIRLE.”
“La promoción de la práctica de Stewardship es importante para la Misión de la Iglesia y para el bienestar espiritual
de cada cristiano. Todos se benefician de la ofrenda sacrificada que uno da de su Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro.” - Papa

LECTIO DIVINA
A Personal Encounter with the Living Word of God
Mondays - beginning September 17 – 7:30 p.m.
WHAT IS LECTIO DIVINA?
Lectio Divina is a Latin term for “divine reading.” A practice strongly
recommended by Pope John Paul II, Archbishop Wenski, and Fr. Paul
Vuturo.
Pope Benedict XVI recently said “I would like in particular to recall and
recommend the ancient tradition of Lectio Divina. The diligent reading
of Sacred Scripture accompanied by prayer brings about that intimate
dialogue in which the person reading hears God who is speaking and in
praying, responds to him with trusting openness of heart (cf. Dei Verbum,
n.25). If it is effectively promoted, this practice will bring to the Church – I
am convinced of it.”
A NEW SPIRITUAL SPRINGTIME.”
In the 12th century, a Carthusian monk called Guigo, described the four
stages essential to the practice of Lectio Divina:
• LECTIO: The first step is lectio (reading) where we read the Word of
God, slowly and reflectively so that it sinks into us. Listening attentively
with the “ear of one’s heart.”
• MEDITATIO:The second step is meditatio (reflection) where we think
about the text we have chosen and ruminate upon it so that we take from
it what God wants to give us.
• ORATIO: The third step is oratio (prayer) where we leave our thinking
aside and simply let our hearts respond to God in prayer.
•CONTEMPLATIO:The final stage of Lectio Divina is contemplatio (rest)
where we simply rest in the Word of God. We listen at the deepest level of
our being to God who speaks within us with a still small voice. As we listen,
we are gradually transformed from within. Signup after Mass on September 8 and 9

de Juan
“La escuela de Juan vivía bajo la sansación
de que sus miembros habían sido iluminados
por la Verdad, es decir, por revelación. La
tradición llamó al autor del cuarto Evangelio,
“Juan el Teólogo”. Esta denominación pone de relieve la profunda
dimensión teológica de los escritos de la Escuela de Juan (Evangelio,
Cartas y Apocalipsis). Así, la Primera Carta bebe de la fuente del Evangelio
tanto en sus concepciones como en sus proclamaciones. En este curso,
haremos un estudio juicioso de los contenidos de las tres cartas y de sus
implicaciones para la vida crisitana comunitaria.”
Se recomienda, leer con cuidado las 3 cartas y, de ser posible, las notas
que las acompañan en la Biblia de Jerusalén.

Bread For the World
bread for the world
We are reconvening again next Saturday Sept. 22nd instead of
Sept. 8th because there was a Stewardship meeting with Fr. Paul and
on Saturday Sept.15th Peter is out of town. We need to continue our
job where we left of before the summer. There are many issues as we
know that our head office wants us to continue to be involved with.
Besides, our ministry head Peter England has decided to step down
after his around 25 years of faithful and effective service to our ministry. We must pray that the Holy Spirit will enlighten us to choose our
next ministry head and fortunately we have very good and capable
candidates that can take over. We want to invite everyone possible to
come to this meeting to cast their vote and make the commitment
to continue being involved and ready to assist and participate in the
important resolution that this movement has made of ending world
hunger. Besides by this meeting we must already be prepared for
the ministry weekend (22/23 Sept.) having our own manned table to
explain to all the community what our ministry does. Our next meeting will be this coming Saturday, Sept. 22nd , at 10:00 AM in the
Library. If you want further information, please call: Peter England
Tel: 305-235-7257 or Pablo Sánchez Tel: 305-271-4763.

Pan para el Mundo
Estamos citando para una reunión el sábado 22 de septiembre
sustituyendo la reunión del 8 de septiembre, ya que el Padre Paul
tenía una reunión con el Comité de Stewardship ese día y el 15 de
septiembre Peter estará fuera de la ciudad. Necesitamos continuar nuestra labor que suspendimos al comienzo del verano. Hay
muchos temas en los que debemos involucrarnos. Además nuestra
Cabeza de Ministerio ha decidido retirarse después de 25 años de fiel
y efectivo servidor. Debemos orar para que el Espíritu Sanatos nos
guíe en la selección de un nuevo lider. Queremos invitar a todos a
asistir a esta reunión donde haremos la votación y el compromiso
de continuar con nuestra lucha contra la pobreza y el hambre en
el mundo. Además, en esta reunón nos prepararemos para el fin
de semana de Ministerios (22/23 de Spetiembre) donde tendremos
una mesa para explicarle a la comunidad lo que hacemos en este
ministerio.
Recuerden que nuestra próxima reunión será el sábado 22 de
septiembre a las 10:00 am en la Biblioteca.

Men of God
The Fathers’ Ministry hosted a barbecue at Gus
Gonzalez’ home: Gus Vilomar and Eric Concepción
coordinate the ministry this year.
This social event
introduced new fathers from the school to the community
of St. Louis. Yet it also gave other fathers the occasion
to renew their relationships and to celebrate their
friendships.
These men demonstrate that their parish and
school are important. They meet together several times
a year to enable the men to bond with each other and to
work together on different service projects.
Parents form their children’s attitudes toward
religion. Sometimes”religion” is the responsibility of the
mother; she takes care of that dimension of the home.
But men also have a critical role to play. Social studies
say that a child’s relationship with God will be significantly
determined by (1) the relationship of the child with his/
her father, and [2] the father’s attitude toward religion
and his relationship with God. Perhaps this is because so
many of our religious images are “male.” True– God as
Spirit is beyond sexuality or gender, yet we generally refer
to God with male pronouns, like “he” and “him,” or we
use male nouns to designate God as “Father” or “Lord”
or King,” Jesus, of course was a male and modeled
humanness in the masculine gender. But, whatever the
reason, the father or the male figure in the household
affects the child’s growing faith awareness. Men have a
special element to contribute to the religious upbringing
of their children. Both mother and father are important,
yet men should not forget the unique contribution that
they can make.
We often hear talk of men as “spiritual leaders”
in their home. This does not mean spiritual “despots”
or “dictators.” With their wives men lead by modelling
spiritual values. When children see demonstrations of
their parents’ faith, the lesson becomes not just “Do
as I say,” but “Do as I do.” Prayer in the home before
meals or before bed can demonstrate powerful faith
sharing that can imprint on the mind and hearts of young
people. The Father in heaven becomes more real, when
the father and mother on earth share in word and action
their committed faith and love.
On a different note– thanks for your prayers for
my father. He is out of the hospital and improving.
Yours in Christ,
Hombres de Dios
El Ministerio de padres auspició un asado en el hogar de
Gus González; Gus Vilomar y Eric Concepción son los coordinadores para este año. Este evento social introduce nuevos padres
de la escuela a la comunidad de St. Louis. Además le brinda la
oportunidad a estos padres de renovar sus relaciones y celebrar su
amistad.
Estos hombres demuestran que la parroquia y la escuela
son importantes para ellos. Se reunen varias veces en el año dándoles la oportunidad de conocerse mejor y de trabajar juntos en
diferentes proyectos de servicio.
Los padres son los que forman la actitud de sus hijos hacia la religión. Algunas veces la “religión” es responsabilidad de la
madre; ella es la encargada de esa dimención en el hogar. Pero el
hombre también tiene una papel crítico que desarrollar. Los estudios sociales dicen que la relación del niño con Dios se determina
significativamente por (1) la relación del niño/a con su padre, y (2)
la actitud del padre hacia la religión y su relación con Dios. Quizás
esto sea debido a que todas nuestras imagenes religiosas son
“hombres”. Verdad - el Espíritu de Dios esta más allá de género
y sexualidad, sin embargo nos referimos a Dios en género masculino, como “él,” o usamos nombres masculinos para referirnos
a Dios como “Padre” o “Señor” o “Rey,” Jesús por supuesto que
era varon y modeló su humanidad masculina. Pero, cualquiera
que fuera la razón, el padre o la figura masculina del hogar influye
en el crecimiento espiritual del niño/a. Los hombres tienen un
elemento especial que contribuye a la formación religiosa de los
niños/as. Tanto el padre como la madre son importantes, aún así
los hombres no deben olvidar esa contribución única que pueden
hacer.
A menudo escuchamos hablar hombres como “líderes
espiritual” de sus hogares. Esto no quiere decir que sean “dictadores” o “déspotas” espirituales. Junto a sus esposas, los hombres
conducen a moldear los valores espirituales. Cuando los niños/
as ven las demostraciones de fe de sus padres, la lección no pasa
a ser “Haz lo que digo,” sino “Haz lo que hago.” La oración en el
hogar antes de las comidas o antes de ir a la cama demuestra el
compartir la fe poderosa que se grava en la mente y el corazón de
los jóvenes. El Padre del cielo se hace más real, cuando el padre
y la madre de la tierra comparten en palabra y acción su compromiso de fe y amor.
Cambiando el tono - gracias por todas sus oraciones por
mi padre. Ya él está fuera del hospital y mejorando. Gracias.
Suyos en Cristo,
