A Message From Fr. Roberto
Wake up to…Jesus; Wake up to…your Catholic faith; Wake up to…dropping your nets.
“Angels-in-Training” Babysitting at 10:30 Mass Every Week for children 2-6!
In the Serendipity Room beneath the rectory.
Are You an “Innie” or an “Outie”?
No, I am not talking about your belly button (if you have no idea what this
refers to just Google “innie or outie belly button”). I am talking about whether your
Catholic Faith is directed inwards or outwards. We just had a great evangelization
retreat experience last weekend. A team of 27 people from Sacred Heart Catholic
Parish in Boise, Idaho drove 10 hours in a caravan to put this retreat on for us – can
you imagine making that kind of sacrifice, taking that kind of time away from home
and work, sleeping in a stranger’s house, and working long, hard hours for people
you don’t even know? I certainly cannot. But these Sacred Heart parishioners do this
because they definitely have an “outie” faith – their faith is directed outward towards
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k7H70xC4b7A/
others. They have been touched by the Lord and they want to share what they have
UPL3r4yQQBI/AAAAAAAAAzc/-jLf2McfAL0/s1600/
experienced with others. They have been doing these retreats in their parish for 20
holy+spirit+image.jpg
years now and have gone as far as New York to put them on for other parishes. They
are a generous, joyful, humble and passionate group of people.
This retreat they led for us was a powerful experience of deepening our
Catholic faith, surrendering our lives to Jesus and being filled with the Holy
Spirit. Just talk to any of the 30 or 35 Holy Rosary parishioners who attended
the retreat, and they will tell you how touched they were. We all went to the
8:45 Mass last weekend, and I’m sure those of you who were at that Mass
could sense the energy and spirit of all those who participated in the retreat.
Now what we want to do at Holy Rosary is to put these retreats on for the rest
of our parishioners, so I invite you to join us for that retreat on the weekend of
October 3-5 if you want to have an amazing experience of God in your life.
http://justshineon.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/HS2.jpg
We all have the Spirit within us from our Baptism and Confirmation, but
so often we Catholics do not live out the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The Feast of Pentecost reminds us just how powerful the Holy Spirit can be because it changed a group of fearful, doubting, uneducated and selfabsorbed followers of Jesus into dynamic, fearless and passionate disciples and preachers. After Pentecost, the apostles
were never the same. Do you dare ask God for that kind of experience in your life?
Are you an “innie” Catholic whose faith is all about you and your needs? Are you a “consumer Catholic” who
comes to church only when you feel like it just to get your needs met? Are you a Catholic who is simply maintaining the
status quo with no desire, energy or commitment to grow in your own faith and share it with others? It does not mean
you are a bad person or that God does not love you or that you are going to hell; but it does mean you are lukewarm, and
Jesus has some strong words for lukewarm Catholics:
“I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were
either cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out
of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16).
God’s desire is for us to be “outie” Catholics whose faith is turned outward toward others. He wants us to be filled with passion for our faith and a sense of mission. Just last week, on
the feast of the Ascension, our Gospel ended with Jesus’ great commission to the apostles and to
all of us:
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I have
commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).

So, let us be “outie” Catholics, not “innie” Catholics. Let us be Catholics with a mission. Let us light our own
lives and our world on fire for Jesus!

RECIBAN EL ESPÍRITU SANTO
¡Al fin! El poder que les había sugerido y el Espíritu que les prometió, sólo se libera este día. Lo llamamos el cumpleaños de la Iglesia. Trata de leer los pasajes de la Escritura de hoy con algún sentido de lo extraordinario que esos hechos
debieron ser para los que los vivieron. Los dejamos la semana pasada esperando en la habitación del piso de arriba. En la
lectura de la primera lectura, la habitación se llena de fuego, viento y audaces proclamaciones en lenguas extranjeras.
En la segunda lectura, Pablo describe el acontecimiento de Pentecostés, también. Su descripción incluye a todos nosotros. El Espíritu vive en la Iglesia en cada uno de nosotros que somos miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, con diferentes
dones pero el mismo Espíritu. Sólo después de Pentecostés pudieron los apóstoles mirar el pasado y entender el significado de lo que Jesús quiso decirles cuando expresó lo que nos cuenta el Evangelio de hoy: “Reciban el Espíritu Santo”.

Un Mensaje de Padre Roberto
Despiértate a...Jesús; Despiértate a...tu fe católica; Despiértate a...dejar tus redes.
¿Hacia “Dentro" o Hacia Fuera”?
¿Está tu fe católica dirigida hacia dentro o hacia fuera? Acabamos de tener una
gran experiencia de retiro evangelización en inglés el pasado fin de semana. Un equipo
de 27 personas de la Parroquia Católica del Sagrado Corazón en Boise, Idaho manejaron 10 horas en una caravana para dirigir este retiro para nuestra parroquia – ¿puedes
imaginarte hacer esta clase de sacrificio, tomando tanto tiempo fuera de casa y trabajo,
dormir en casa de un extraño, y trabajar largas y duras horas para gente que ni siquiera
conoces? Desde luego, no puedo yo. Pero estos feligreses del Sagrado Corazón hacen
esto porque tienen una fe dirigida hacia fuera, hacia otros. Ellos han sido tocados por el
Señor y quieren compartir con otros lo que han experimentado. Ellos han estado haciendo estos retiros en su parroquia durante 20 años y han ido tan lejos como Nueva York
para hacerlos en otras parroquias. Son un grupo generoso, alegre, humilde y apasionahttp://www.tengoseddeti.org/wp-content/
do.
uploads/2012/05/ven_espiritu_santo.jpg
Este retiro fue una fuerte experiencia de
profundizar nuestra fe católica, de entregar nuestras vidas a Jesús y de ser llenados del Espíritu Santo. Nuestra comunidad Hispana ya ha tenido dos retiros similares con semejantes resultados de encender la fe du muchos de nosotros. Más
que nada, lo que yo quiero es que todos nuestros feligreses aquí en el Santo Rosario tengan esta misma experiencia de fe.
Todos tenemos el Espíritu dentro de nosotros desde nuestro Bautismo y la
Confirmación, pero muchas veces nosotros los católicos no vivimos la plenitud
del poder del Espíritu Santo en nuestras vidas. La fiesta de Pentecostés nos recuerda cuán poderosa el Espíritu Santo puede ser porque tomó los seguidores de
Jesús que eran personas tan temerosas, llenas de dudas, sin educación y ensimishttp://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PSJ54_brJKs/TjMwV_QfmxI/
mados y las convirtió en discípulos y predicadores dinámicos, valientes y apasioAAAAAAAAABg/2xSN2XNUm3w/s1600/fuego-del-espiritusanto.jpg
nados. Después de Pentecostés los apóstoles nunca eran los mismos. ¿Te atreves
a pedirle a Dios por ese tipo de experiencia en tu vida?
¿Eres un católico enfocado hacia dentro cuya fe tiene que ver sólo contigo y tus necesidades? ¿Eres un “católico
consumidor” que viene a la iglesia sólo cuando te apetezca o te convenga para satisfacer tus necesidades? ¿Eres un católico que simplemente está manteniendo el statu quo sin deseo, energía o compromiso de crecer en tu fe y compartirla con
los demás? Esto no significa que seas una mala persona o que Dios no te ame o que vayas al infierno; pero sí quiere decir
que eres tibio, y Jesús tiene palabras fuertes para los católicos tibios:
Conozco tus obras: no eres ni frío ni caliente. ¡Ojalá fueras frío o caliente!
Pero porque eres tibio y no frío o caliente, voy a vomitarte de mi boca
(Apocalipsis 3, 15-16).
El deseo de Dios es que seamos católicos impulsados hacia fuera cuya fe está enfocada hacia los demás. Él quiere que estemos llenos de pasión por nuestra fe y de un sentido
de misión. Apenas la semana pasada, en la fiesta de la Ascensión, nuestro Evangelio terminó
con la gran comisión de Jesús a los apóstoles y a todos nosotros:
Vayan, pues, y hagan que todos los pueblos sean mis discípulos. Bautícenlos en
el Nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo, y enséñenles a cumplir todo lo
que yo les he encomendado a ustedes (Mateo 28, 19-20).
Así que, seamos católicos impulsados hacia fuera y no católicos enfocados hacia
dentro. Seamos católicos con una misión. ¡Encendamos con fuego a nuestras propias vidas y
a nuestro mundo para Jesús!

serve those in need. This ministry distributes food
every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from
9:00am to 10:00am at the Holy Rosary Gymnasium.
Each bag is identical and carefully packed with nonperishable items.
This month, they need the following items:
Pork & Beans 15oz.
Canned Corn 15oz.
Canned Green Beans 15oz.
Thank you for your continued support & generosity!
We appreciate your donations!
