In the late 19th century the United States and Western
Europe were in the height of the industrial revolution. The
invention of engines and the development of factories gave
quick pace to development and production of goods. These
new innovations required the employment of great numbers
of people who would move to cities from the farms to
spend the larger part of every day working in the new
factories and mills. Certainly there were abuses on the part
of factory and business owners who took advantage of their
employees, but this newness also allowed many people to
make a decent living from the sweat of their brow being
able to buy property and goods which would not have been
otherwise possible. This is the value of labor, or work.
This week we commemorate Labor Day in which we take a
pause to honor the ideals of work and those who work for a
living, which is the majority of our society. This is a
secular holiday but it is one with Christian ideals as well.
For more than a century the popes have written of the
importance of work in peoples lives. Work is directed
toward what Pope Leo XIII identified as man’s right to
obtain property. This pope wrote an encyclical in 1891 on
the topic of work and property called, Rerum Novarum,
which would eventually be the foundation upon which
Pope John Paul II would form his own ideas and actions
that challenged communism. The Church has firmly held
that it is man’s right to work so that he may possess
property and goods and that it is the role of the government
not to provide and regulate these goods but to protect man’s
right to earn them. In this day of economic hardships these
ideals seem to take on new relevance. First of all because
work is a good and even manual work is a gift and must be
treasured as such. Secondly there is nothing wrong with
being poor. The Church has long accepted that even people
who work will at times be poor and there is no indignity in
that. Finally people must work. This can be difficult in
poor economic times have, but work must be a goal as no
one is entitled to have a living without working for it. We
would do well to remember that the goal of work is to
obtain what we need in this life and for the ownership of
property and goods. It is not meant as a means to keep up
with others, to give us everything we want or to make life
easy, properly understood it is a means to receive the
bounty of God so freely shared with us. Happy Labor Day.
Ser un Servidor de Dios
Ser un Servidor de Dios
Durante la parte anterior del siglo 19 los Estado Unidos y
Europa se encontraron en un fenómeno nombrado la
revolución industrial. Durante esta época nos encontramos con
el desarrollo de fábricas que rápidamente acrecentaron la
producción de bienes materiales. Estas innovaciones
necesitaban grandes cantidades de trabajadores que
comenzaron a mudarse de los campos a las ciudades para
gastar la mayor parte de sus días trabajando en las fábricas.
Por supuesto hubo muchos abusos por parte de empresarios
sobre los trabajadores, pero estas novedades también dejaron
que muchos, por primera vez, pudieran vivir por medio del
esfuerzo de su trabajo y poseer propiedad y bienes materiales.
Este es el valor del trabajo. Esta semana recordamos el día del
trabajo, Labor Day, en el cual tomamos una pausa para honrar
los ideales del trabajo y aquellos que trabajan por su vivir que
somos casi todos. Este es un día secular, pero también tiene
ideales cristianos. Por más de un siglo los papas han escrito
sobre la importancia del trabajo. Según el Papa Leo XIII el
trabajo tiene como su propósito el derecho del hombre de
poseer su propiedad. Este papa escribió una encíclica sobre los
temas del trabajo y la propiedad, Rerum Novarum, en el año
1891, en la cual forma la fundación de los ideales y acciones
del Papa Juan Pablo II en sus luchas contra el comunismo. La
Iglesia siempre ha mantenido que es el derecho del hombre
trabajar para poder poseer propiedad y bienes, y que el papel
del estado es guardar este derecho. En estos días de
dificultades económicas estos ideales toman nueva
importancia. En primer lugar no tiene nada de mal el trabajo
aunque sea labor manual sigue siendo don de Dios y así se
debe conservar. Segundamente no tiene nada de mal ser pobre.
La Iglesia ha siempre mantenido que habrá pobreza aun
cuando uno tenga trabajo y que no hay ninguna indignidad en
ser pobre. Finalmente, el hombre tiene que trabajar. Nadie
tiene el derecho de hacer su vida sin trabajar, a nadie se le debe
la vida sin trabajo. Haremos bien tener en mente que el
propósito del trabajo es conseguirnos lo que necesitamos para
vivir y para poseer propiedad y bienes. No es para darnos lo
que otros tienen, ni para hacer la vida fácil, pero para recibir
los dones de la bondad de Dios. Disfruten el día festivo.
Por Jesús y María,
Padre Flores

New Names
Nuevos nombres
We want to create an irresistible environment during Family
Ministry, and it starts with the names of our programs. We
have new ones!
Queremos crear un ambiente irresistible durante el
Ministerio Familiar, comienza con los nuevos nombres de
nuestros programas. Que Tenemos!
St. Paul encourages us to “fight the good fight” (2 Tim 4:7).
Following his lead, our program for 6th-12th graders is
GOOD FIGHTERS.
San Pablo nos anima a "pelear la buena batalla" (2 Tim 4:
7). Siguiendo su ejemplo, nuestro programa para los adolesentes en grados 6º al 12º es GOOD FIGHTERS.
What was Confirmation is now IGNITERS because the sacrament of Confirmation ignites the fire of the Holy Spirit in
those that receive it.
Lo que fue la confirmación es ahora equipos de IGNITERS,
porque el sacramento de la Confirmación enciende el fuego del Espíritu Santo en los que la reciben.
What used to be Religious Education, Faith Formation, or
Children’s Ministry is now ROCKSTARS because Jesus
told us the Church is our ROCK. Pre-kindergarten to fifth
graders are invited to be Rockstars each week.
Lo que era grupo de educación religiosa, formación en la
fe, o el Ministerio de los niños se ha convertido en ROCKSTARS porque Jesús nos dijo que la Iglesia es nuestra
roca. Pre-kinder de infantes a quinto grado están invitados
a eventos de Rockstars cada semana
What used to be First Communion is now RECEIVERS to
remind us to receive God’s love in the Eucharist with
thanks, respect, and the desire to follow Jesus.
Lo que solía ser grupo de la primera comunión es ahora
RECEIVERS que nos recuerda a recibir el amor de Dios en
la Eucaristía con agradecimiento, el respeto y el deseo de

This is a fascinating foundational Bible study

how all the major people, places and events reveal
God's plan in so many ways.
We always have time for fellowship, so please
bring a treat to share. Bring a copy of the Bible
and a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic
Church, which can be a hard copy or is also
available on-line on your smartphone or tablet.
There is a cost for the workbook that goes with the
program.
