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 mp Tie e Tim nto ale eT TIEMPO Y TALENTO FIN DE SEMANA - 22-23 de septiembre Tim o NEXT WEEKEND – SEPT. 22-23, PLEASE VISIT THE FAMILY CENTER AND SEE A MAGNIFICENT SHOWCASE OF OUR PARISH MINISTRIES. MANY OF OUR INDIVIDUAL MINISTRIES WILL HAVE A TABLE SET UP. YOU CAN TALK TO ONE OF THE MINISTRY MEMBERS RIGHT THEN AND THERE. A FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY TO GET FIRST HAND INFO ABOUT MINISTRY. Treasure Tesoro ¿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 Benedicto XVI EL PRÓXIMO FIN DE SEMANA, 22-23 DE SEPT. POR FAVOR VISITA EL FAMILY CENTER Y VER UNA MAGNIFICA EXHIBICIÓN DE NUESTROS MINISTERIOS PARROQUIALES. MUCHOS DE NUESTROS MINISTERIOS TENDRAN MESAS DONDE PUEDE HABLAR CON MIEMBROS DEL MINISTERIO PARA OBTENER INFORMACIÓN DE PRIMERA MANO. 4 R.C.I.A.

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.

Comenzando todas las noches a las 7:30 y Cartas terminando a las 9:30 pm. 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. ¡LOS ESPERAMOS!

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.

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,
