“Mother Henriette`s devotion to the Catho
T he "struggle" of the weekend's readings is a struggle stay with one's purpose. The first reading is one of the "Suffering Servant Songs" from the middle of the scroll of Isaiah. This part of the book was written, we think, by a nameless poet who believed that one way to understand "why we are here" is to look at what keeps coming up causing us discomfort. A one-time thing may be a fluke--an accident. But when a painful issue consistently presents itself, time and time again, maybe I should pay attention. It may be telling me what my life is really about. Isaiah saw Israel's "role" in the world as one of "drawing the Gentile nations to the One, True God of Israel. If they ever gave up in disgust, even though the Gentiles hurt them, beat them, pulled their beard, struck and spit on them, they would cease to be "Israel," for to be Israel meant to be a "draw-er of the world to the One God." The second reading says that the poor are there to help remind us of who and what we are supposed to be. We all know we should be kind and generous and help the needy, so when a beggar raises his hand, it is a poignant reminder--demanding us to BE the person we've been called to be. In the Gospel, Jesus realizes that "living out His purpose," will involve pain and death. Peter doesn't like that, and wants to convince Him to find a softer way...but there is no other way! Jesus must struggle to be true to Himself, and Peter will have to learn to struggle to become the disciple and leader Christ calls him to be. He got a rocky start, but got it right in the end. - Fr.

La primera lectura es de Isaías de los Cantos del Servidor que Sufre. Esta parte del libro, creemos, fue escrita por un poeta anónimo quien dice que para comprender el por qué estamos aquí, debemos de ver las causas que nos traen malestar. Una pequeña cosa puede causar un accidente. Pero cuando algo seguido nos da malestar, a lo mejor sería bueno ponerle atención. Posiblemente me esté diciendo de qué se trata mi vida. Para Isaías, el papel de Israel es de acercar a las naciones gentiles a Aquel Quien es Uno, el Dios de Israel. Si alguna vez se rinden, a pesar de que los gentiles los hayan lastimado, dejarían de ser Israel, puesto que el ser Israel es de traer a todo el mundo al Dios Quien es Uno. La segunda lectura nos recuerda que los pobres son un ejemplo de quienes debemos de ser y qué deberíamos de estar haciendo. Sabemos que todos debemos de ser buenos y generosos, de ayudar a los necesitados, entonces cuando un pobre alza su mano, es un recordatorio de ser las personas que hemos sido llamados a ser. En el Evangelio, Jesús se da cuenta que el vivir Su propósito en la vida, traerá dolor y la muerte. A Pedro no le gusta, y trata de buscar otra solución más agradable… pero, ¡no hay otra manera! Jesús debe sufrir para ser honesto consigo mismo, y Pedro aprenderá a sufrir y así llegar a ser el discípulo y líder que Cristo lo ha llamado a ser. Él tuvo un inicio turbulento, pero al final lo pudo comprender. -Padre Bill Axe “Mother Henriette's devotion to the Catholic Church and the feminine characteristics of her devotion took root in early Louisiana. As first a French and then Spanish colony, Louisiana was throughout its colonial period a reflection of the larger Catholic Atlantic world where the respective Crowns decreed that only Catholicism would be practiced." Henriette Delille by Virginia Meacham Gould To build and foster a Christian Community that offers the opportunity to experience God’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into contact with it. T oday’s readings again challenge us to look at our lives. Just as Pope Francis is asking us to look deeply into our hearts and souls to see how we live our faith. Jesus tells the Disciples plainly that having faith in him is not simply an activity that we engage in with our minds. It involves a commitment of our whole selves, soul and body. It is not enough just to say the words. Our actions and words must be how we live our faith. We have been having Ministry Fairs these weeks. Is there a way you can put your faith into action? Stop by the tables and see. Construyendo y alimentando una comunidad cristiana que ofrezca la oportunidad de experimentar el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a todos con quienes nos encontremos. L as lecturas nuevamente nos desafían a que reflexionemos sobre nuestras vidas. Así como el Papa Francisco nos pide a que veamos en nuestros corazones y almas de cómo estamos viviendo nuestra fe. Jesús les dice a los Discípulos que el tener fe en Él no es sólo una actividad mental. Se trata de comprometernos, nuestras almas y nuestros cuerpos. No es suficiente el sólo decir palabras. Debemos vivir nuestra fe con nuestras acciones y nuestras palabras. Hoy empezamos con nuestras Ferias de Ministerios, ¿habrá alguna manera de poner tu fe en acción? Vayan a la placita y vean cómo pueden ayudar.

Our guests were not just served and given food for their bodies. Oscar and Alicia and the Bread Of Life Ministry served spiritual lasting nourishment for the soul filled with love, compassion and hope. Oscar read inspiring passages from the bible and delivered a soul stirring message that touched our guests. The day was extremely hot and the guests were hungry for food for their bodies they were quiet and listened and seemed to absorb the message from this awesome God filled man who is so on fire for the Lord. Oscar and Alicia arranged to have the message delivered in both Spanish and English.

Ministry Pope Francis Corner Reflections from The Joy of the Gospel Espacio para el Papa Francisco Reflexiones de La Alegría del Evangelio “I prefer a Church which is bruised, hurting, and dirty because it has been out on the streets, rather than a Church which is unhealthy from being confined and from clinging to its own security” (49). "Prefiero una Iglesia accidentada, herida y manchada por salir a la calle, antes que una Iglesia enferma por el encierro y la comodidad de aferrarse a las propias seguridades” (49). “Before all else, the Gospel invites us to respond to the God of love who saves us, to see God in others and to go forth from ourselves to seek the good of others” (39). “Whenever we encounter another person in love, we learn something new about God” (272). " El Evangelio invita ante todo a responder al Dios amante que nos salva, reconociéndolo en los demás y saliendo de nosotros mismos para buscar el bien de todos.” (39). “Cada vez que nos encontramos con un ser humano en el amor, quedamos capacitados para descubrir algo nuevo de Dios” (272).
