A STEWARDSHIP PARISH
My parish is composed of people just like me. I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into its worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness
and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I, who will make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be.
Amen.
La Fe Debe Venir Del Corazón
Faith Must Come From The Heart
Primer Domingo De Cuaresma
First Sunday of Lent
(Deuteronomio 26:4-10; Romanos 10:8-13; Lucas 4:1-13)
Algunas personas muy buenas (demasiado buenas, dicen
algunos) son consideradas algo tontas. Podrían, con su
inteligencia o su poder, demostrar que valen mucho mas ue las
fuerzas malas; pero parece que no están interesadas y quienes
las observan pueden pensar que no tienen suficiente
personalidad o que son demasiado débiles. En realidad,
sucede todo lo contrario. Es mucho mas difícil resistir la
tentación de usar la violencia o la agresividad que dejarse
llevar y hacer una demostración de poder. La mansedumbre es
mucho mas complicada y fuerte que la respuesta rápida o que
el perdón. Jesús en el desierto no quiere hacer una
demostración de la fuerza y el poder que tenia; resiste, porque
no es su identidad ni su misión el hacer demostraciones de
poder. Si mas tarde obra milagros, lo hace para el bien de los
demás y no para hacer alarde de su fuerza o su divinidad. En
el desierto, Jesús se mantiene fiel a la llamada y la misión que
recibió de su Padre. Si no lo hiciera así, mas tarde no podría
predicar la palabra de amor, misericordia y perdón, y paz que
predica continuamente, pues no seria coherente consigo
mismo, porque negaría su propia persona.
Para la reflexión ~ ¿Me cuesta mas resistir pacíficamente o
cedo a impulsos de revancha o de resentimiento? ¿Siento que
ser pacifico significa ser débil? Nuestra Parroquia
(Deuteronomy 26:4-10; Romans 10:8-13; Luke 4:1-13)
Some people who are good (or too good, as some would say)
are considered to be somewhat naïve. With their intelligence
and strength, they could demonstrate that they are worth much
more than the evil forces. It may seem that they are not
interested and those who observe them may think that they
don’t have the personality or are too weak. In reality, the
opposite is happening. It is much more difficult to resist the
temptation to use violence or aggressiveness than to go ahead
and make a show of force. Gentleness is a much more
complicated and powerful behavior than rapid response or
even forgiveness. In the desert, Jesus did not want to make a
show of his force and dominion. He resisted because it is not
his identity or mission to make shows of powers. If he later
created miracles, he did so for the wellbeing of others and not
to make a show of his dominion or divinity. In the desert,
Jesus remained faithful to the calling and mission he has
received from his Father. If he had not done so, he could not
have preached words of love, mercy, forgiveness, and peace
later on, because he would not have been coherent with
himself; he would be denying his own persona.
For Reflection ~ Is it harder to resist passively or do I jump
and cave in to my impulses of revenge and resentment? Do I
feel that being passive means I am weak?

It’s Almost Time to Begin Festival Planning!
The contest for the 2016 festival logo concept takes place this year between April 8 and April 24, with the winning
entry announced on May 15. Pre-sales for the 2016 festival T-shirts featuring the new logo will take place in early
June. The pre-sales period is your best opportunity to ensure that you get your preferred style, size and color.
Watch for details in the parish and festival websites and the parish bulletin in late May.
Do you have talents in computer graphic artistry? The festival Publicity Team could use your help (1) in late May
to transform the winning logo concept into the official festival logo, and/or (2) in mid-July to produce the posters
and flyers for the festival. The Publicity Team also needs volunteers to help at weekend Masses for the logo contest
in April, the T-shirt pre-sales in June and/or the T-shirt general sales in early September. If you're interested in
helping in any of these areas please contact the parish office or the Publicity Team Chair, Thomas Zang,
at [email protected].
Mark your Calendars for Saturday, September 17, 2016
and let’s make this festival one of our best yet!
