WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
Faith large and small
When you think about it, Jesus asks both a lot and only a little of his disciples. A lot:
that they give themselves completely to following him and his way. But also a little:
doing a few basic things like having faith and trusting him and the Father who sent
him; loving as you are loved by God; forgiving because you are forgiven; and
showing mercy, for you have received mercy. Though it asks much—everything,
really—of people, being a Christian is actually pretty simple: Love God with your
whole self, and share that love with others.
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
My Dear Parish Family,
Next week, our parish will take up the Collection for the Catholic
Communication Campaign. This collection communicates the
Gospel through Catholic social media activities and enriches our
faith through television, radio, social media, podcasts and print
media. Half of all proceeds remain in our diocese and support local needs, so please be generous in this collection. Check out their
new free APP. I just loaded it onto my phone this week: Catholic
Church app from USCCB.
Recently, I was with an assembly of priests, many of whom had
been ordained longer than I. In one of our discussions, one brother
priest got up and, in a self-congratulating tone, spoke about the
many times while in the seminary he had taken part in peaceful
marches and protests against war. Another priest jumped up right
after him and self-righteously related that his choice had been to
stay at the seminary and go to chapel and pray for peace. An argument quickly ensued. Both claimed that theirs was the right way
and that theirs was the way that ultimately won the day.
Ironically nothing succeeds better in shattering any fragile peace
than an “either/or” attitude. If acting on our values is good and
praying for them is equally laudable, why not a “yes/also” response? The fledgling church we hear from in the Acts of the
Apostles would quickly learn that there was more than one way to
be a believer. And Revelations tells us that perfection will be ours
only when we reach the New Jerusalem.
The peace that Jesus leaves us in the gospel, he gives to us to share
with others. But he doesn’t offer us a navigation system or road
maps to get there. Being peacemakers is truly challenging. We
each must find our way to the heavenly Jerusalem with the help of
Jesus’ gift to us, the Holy Spirit.
May God bless you.

EXCERPT FROM “MERCY AND TRUTH
SHALL MEET”
BISHOP DAVID M. O’CONNELL, C.M.
Finally, mercy helps us understand Truth. Authentic mercy always
leads us to the recognition of Truth because mercy is based upon
Truth. The Psalmist sings “Mercy and Truth shall meet (Psalm 85:
10).” In Christ, mercy and truth meet together. It is unmistakably
clear in his intentions, attitudes and behaviors throughout the Gospels. In fact, I do not believe that we can experience authentic mercy without the simultaneous experience of Truth because one really does not really
exist without the other.
SOME THOUGHTS ON “TRUTH”
We are all familiar with the tense moment of confrontation between Pontius Pilate
and the Lord Jesus when Pilate demands “what is truth?” in response to the Lord
Jesus’ revelation “I have come into this world to testify to the truth (John 18: 3738).” Pilate was not the first to ask such a question and the Lord Jesus was not the
first to be on the receiving end. “Truth” has been the subject of study, inquiry and
debate throughout most of recorded history. Philosophers, theologians, scholars,
students, people of faith, people of no faith have questioned and argued its meaning
down through the ages. Sooner or later, we simply have to settle on an idea or definition of truth and go with it.

ALERT – Human Trafficking
and Sporting Events.
Traffickers are opportunistic
hunters and see major sporting
events, and the thousands of people
who flock to sports venues, as an opportunity for huge profits with little
risk of penalty or punishment. Human trafficking is a business, and
traffickers will take advantage of
what they perceive to be good business opportunities-including national
and international sporting events.

PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Estimada Familia Parroquial
Recientemente, yo estaba reunido con varios sacerdotes, y en una de las
conversaciones, uno de los sacerdotes compartió que muchas veces como
seminarista, él estuvo involucrado en marchas de paz contra la Guerra.
Otro de los sacerdotes comento, que en su caso él se mantenía en oración
y compañía del Sagrado Sacramento. Ellos comenzaron a discutir, pues
los dos afirmaban que su actitud era mejor que la otra. Pero los dos
estaban correctos, pues debemos de actuar según nuestros valores morales
y cristianos. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles podemos descubrir, las
diferentes maneras que existen para llegar a creer. En Apocalipsis leemos
que podemos llegar a la perfección, cuando lleguemos a un Nuevo
Jerusalén.
La paz que Jesús nos da a través de los evangelios es para compartirla
unos con otros. Jesús solo nos guía, no dirige, él nos da libertad para
elegir. Cada uno de nosotros, tenemos que encontrar nuestro Nuevo
Jerusalén con la ayuda de los Dones que Jesús, a través del Espíritu Santo,
nos regala a cada uno de nosotros.
Que Dios los bendiga,
Fr. Scott
Excerpta de la carta del Obispo
David O’Connell “La Misericordia y la Verdad
se Reunirá”
La Merced nos ayuda a comprender la Verdad. La piedad autentica siempre nos conduce al reconocimiento de la Verdad, porque
la misericordia se basa en la Verdad. El Salmista canta
“Misericordia y la Verdad se reunirán” (Salmo 85:10).” En Cristo, la misericordia y la verdad se reúnen. Esto es absolutamente claro en sus
intenciones, actitudes, y modales que leemos en los Evangelios. De hecho, no
creo que podemos tener una experiencia autentica de misericordia sin simultáneamente tener la experiencia con la Verdad, porque uno no existe sin el otro.
ALGUNOS PENSAMIENTOS RELACIONADOS CON LA “VERDAD”
Todos conocemos los momentos tensos que hubo entre Poncio Pilato y Jesús,
cuando Pilato le ordeno: “¿cuál es la verdad?” Y su respuesta - “Yo vine a este
mundo como testigo de la verdad (Juan 18:37-38).” Pilato no fue el primero en
hacer esa pregunta, y Jesús tampoco el primero en recibirla. Es por eso que la
búsqueda de la Verdad sigue siendo sujeto de estudios por personas que no
tienen fe. Pero nosotros conocemos la Verdad y esa es - Dios, su Hijo Jesucristo y el Espíritu Santo. La Santa Trinidad.
