ST. BONAVENTURE
From our Pastor….
Last weekend, I attended my sixth
Steubenville Conference in Springfield, MO.
We call it “Steubie”--a gathering of teens and
adults who experience an abiding presence of
God’s deep love for them through energetic
praise and worship music, inspirational
speakers, powerful Eucharistic adoration and
holy Mass with the bishop of Springfield and
Archbishop of St. Louis.
Steubie by the numbers:
568 youth and adults from the Archdiocese of
Omaha
117 youth and adults from Columbus
43 youth and adults from Bon’s
10 priests from the Archdiocese of Omaha
5,300 youth and adults from the Midwest
praising God in the Q Arena
Our faith grows when we’re vulnerable to
the Lord. Stoke the fire into a roaring blaze!
How? Daily quiet time, Mass, adoration,
scripture reading and study, hanging out with
positive people, praying the Rosary.
We thirst for our loving God who thirsts for
us first. God quenches all thirst.
Thank you to all the adults who shared
their weekend with our awesome teens!
You’re an inspiration to us all.
Blessings,
COLUMBUS, NE

STEWARDSHIP
SPANISH
EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP
When we realize we are going to have company, my family and I
swing into motion with a frenzy. The bathrooms will be spotless and
toilets worthy of the name "throne." We must run to the store so that
an endless supply of refreshments and snacks greet our distinguished
guests. We never want to be seen as bad hosts and, of course the real
reason for all the commotion, we never want to be seen in our natural
habitat of messy rooms and barren kitchens.
But what is real hospitality, a necessity for encouraging good
stewardship and developing a sense of belonging? In the Gospel of
Luke, Mary knew. Martha was so busy preparing and serving, while
Mary simply sat with Jesus and listened to him. This is not to say
that she did not prepare for her Guest by making a proper place for
gathering. But when a guest is already received, true hospitality
begins with being present to and engaging him or her. Part of the
message in this story is that we all need to pause and listen to the
good news that Jesus preaches, but also we can learn a lesson about
good hospitality from it as well.
How many times have we been more concerned with appearances
than what we have inside each of us to share? Christian hospitality
calls for the Jesus in me to meet with the Jesus in you. We are called
to be fully present to one another, with no distractions of technology
or the world standing in our way. This is choosing "the better part."
For what does it profit a man if he has all the beer and wine in the
world, and a spotless home with the greatest of technology, and loses
his attention in the conversation with his brother or sister to the game
on television? (Or something like that!) ~Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

El Papa Francisco
Cuando tengo la oportunidad de ir a Omaha, me gusta visitar librerías y almacenes como Gloria Deo y Adoremus
donde venden libros, música y artículos religiosos en general. La última vez que fui me encontré con un librito que se
llama “Diez cosas que el Papa Francisco quiere que sepas,”
escrito por John L. Allen, Jr. He decidido resumir este libro
de la siguiente manera: El mensaje del pontífice número
266 de la Iglesia Católica podría expresarse en las siguientes diez cosas que el Papa Francisco quiere que sepas:
Una iglesia pobre para los pobres. El papa dijo que escogió su nombre en honor a San Francisco de Asís cuyo romance con la “señora pobreza” es como de leyenda. Ser
cristiano significa, en primer lugar nunca olvidarse del pobre, cambiar la jerarquía de valores del mundo poniendo al
pobre y al marginado al centro de nuestra atención. El auténtico poder es servicio, especialmente servir a los más
pobres, a los más débiles y a los menos importantes.
Humildad. El Papa Francisco impresiona por su tono de
humildad y desmitificación del papado. Es Cristo quien
encabeza la Iglesia a través de su Espíritu. Cristo es quien
debe ser el centro de atención, no el papa.
Permanecer cerca de la gente. Es un papa que parece
estar decidido a moverse hacia las multitudes en vez de
alejárseles. El papa Francisco está decidido a no perder el
contacto con la gente ordinaria, a no permitir que las barreras, que llegan junto con el papado, lo desconecten totalmente de los lugares comunes, donde los párrocos pueden
conocer lo que pasa por el corazón y la mente de su gente.
Evangelizar significa encontrar a la gente donde está, ser
capaz de entender sus dudas y frustraciones valorando lo
que aportan. Padre Gregorio
