that it takes away freedom and personal choice, but if we
really think about it, freedom and personal choice can only be
truly real, authentic and liberating if we see them from the
perspective of God who is the source of these things that we
enjoy. There is no real freedom and choice if it is devoid of
the very fundamental reality that we are all created in God’s
image and likeness. If we truly believe in this
fundamental truth of faith, then all our actions, choices and
lifestyle will have to be measured vis a vis this sublime truth.
If I am truly convinced that I am created in God’s image and
likeness, then I have to do everything possible, everything
possible without exaggeration, to live up to that dignity that I
do share with God. I would have to get rid of those things
that taint that dignity that God gives me, and all of my
choices and the exercise of this freedom that I value have to
honor this identity that I got from my Creator. Anything that
contradicts this truth is to deny the reality of whom I am. And
to deny who I am is to live a big lie; therefore, I cannot truly
be happy. For indeed, how can I be truly happy if I am not
being true to whom I am?
In the Gospel, Jesus also clarifies a very important point
in our journey to salvation. He talks about those people who
were knocking and pleading if they could enter the door, but
the Master refused to let them in because the Master doesn’t
really know them, to which the people replied, “We ate and
drank in your company and you taught in our streets.” To
which the Master also replied, “I do not know where you are
from. Depart from me, all you evildoers!’” This tells us that
“eating and drinking” with the company of Christ in the
Eucharist does not guarantee us salvation. To be part of his
company in virtue of being baptized in the faith does not
immediately guarantee us a place in heaven. Salvation
requires our collaboration with the grace of God being
offered to us; it requires living out wholeheartedly the
commitment that we have received in virtue of our own
baptism, through our own unique vocation. To live out
wholeheartedly our Christian life does not mean just picking
and choosing what is applicable and convenient to us, but
rather a total embrace of God’s will for us. I clarified this
before already, but it is still worth mentioning again. There is
a huge difference between redemption and salvation.
Redemption is what Christ did on the cross once and for all;
when he died for us, he redeemed us. But salvation is our
personal and ecclesial response to that redemptive work of
Christ. That’s why the Catechism of the Catholic Church
defines salvation as already, but not yet, a paradox. Already
because half of the work is done through the redemptive
work of Christ; the other half is our own work, our
collaboration and witnessing to the redemptive work of
Christ. What kind of door are you pursuing right now? Many
doors are open, widely open— some of you don’t even have
to exert any effort to enter; some even have limousines to
take us to the doors; and some are adorned with red carpet to
welcome us— but let us take a moment and ask ourselves, is
this really the door that God is calling me to enter? Be
careful: some of these doors have no doorknobs from
inside—once you’re in, it’s pretty hard to come out. Let us
listen again to the Book of Hebrews: “strengthen your
drooping hands and your weak knees. Make straight paths
for your feet, that what is lame may not be disjointed but
healed. “ – Fr. Cary
PASTOR’S CORNER
THE NARROW GATE OF
ETERNAL LIFE
In a world or society where
convenience and efficiency are two of
the most revered values, the exhortation of Jesus in the Gospel
this weekend, to “enter into the narrow gate”, poses a real
challenge. Why choose the narrow gate when there are other
gates widely open that do not demand as much work as our
faith? Why practice the values and virtues of Catholic morality
when it is hugely unpopular in the secular world? Why
inconvenience myself with going to Church on Sundays and
holy days when the popular trend outside is that as long as I do
good works and deeds and pray at night I am fine? Why subject
myself to so many rules and commandments of faith, when I can
live my life freely without anyone telling me how to live my life,
whom should I marry, and how should I take care of own body?
The summarizing question is: why choose the narrow gate and
not the other gates that are widely open?
Jesus himself gave us the answer to that question. I truly find
great comfort that it is Jesus himself who made very clear for us
that in order to realize our ultimate flourishing and in order for
us to experience eternal life, one has to work hard for it, and one
has to re-orient his/her values to the teachings of Christ and not
just pick and choose what is convenient and easy for us to
follow. The reason why the door or the gate to heaven is
“narrow” is because it is not the easiest road to travel, the least
popular, and just like what we heard several weeks ago in the
Gospel, it can divide families – father against his son, daughter
against her mother, etc. We know the narrowness of this gate
probably from our own very experience. It is easier to go
shopping for the whole day than to spend an hour in Church to
listen to a boring homily; it is easier to click something on the
internet that damages our call to purity and chastity than to see
our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit; it is easier to watch
reality TV shows, like Bachelorette or fascinating evening series
like CSI Miami or Criminal Minds, than spending quality
conversations with God and prayer; and, of course, how
convenient and easier it is to talk to a friend or family member
on Facebook than actually visiting and spending time with them
in person. We see now why Jesus said in the Gospel that the gate
towards our own salvation is narrow.
The second reading today from the Book of Hebrews
counsels us what it takes to enter into the narrow door. We hear
these words, “My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord
or lose heart when reproved by him; for whom the Lord loves,
he disciplines; he scourges every son he acknowledges. Endure
your trials as ‘discipline’.” Then it continues “all discipline
seems a cause not for joy but for pain, yet later it brings the
peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it. So
strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees. Make
straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be
disjointed but healed.” Those are very beautiful and timely
advice from the Book of Hebrews, written thousands of years
ago, but still very relevant to our time.
Discipline seems to be a negative term nowadays. It seems

REFLECTIONS on Steubenville NW Conference.
My experience at Steubenville NW was so great! I learned so much about God , and everybody there was so friendly.
Holy Family Parish from Portland was so welcoming with letting us join their group. Father Leo was a great speaker
and had so much humor to make his speeches effective. It was such a great feeling to know that everybody there shared
the same faith as everybody else , and we could all share it together. Singing at the conference would have to be my favorite part of
all because I felt like I connected with God even more, and it felt so great.
~ Alyssa Hernandez, Sophomore
The Steubenville NW Conference were some of the best days of my life. The people at the conference were super friendly, and they
were easy to have a conversation with. The priest and speakers were really funny, and they got the message through clearly.

VIGÉCIMO PRIMER DOMINGO
DE TIEMPO ORDINARIO ~ AGOSTO 21, 2016
JESÚS: La PUERTA ES ANGOSTA
Dios responde a nuestras oraciones, no siempre lo que
queremos escuchar, pero lo que NECESITAMOS
ESCUCHAR. Eso pasa en el Evangelio de hoy.
Alguien le pregunta sobre el número de los que se van a
salvar, y Jesús responde con la imagen de una puerta
angosta en la que hay que esforzarse por entrar. En lugar de
hablar en teoría con números o categorías de personas, Jesús
señala las dificultades y los obstáculos que debemos vencer
para poder entrar.
Apunta al hecho de que no basta asistir a Misa, sino que
debemos estar siempre buscando la manera de cómo hacer
mejor la voluntad de Dios.
Finalmente, apunta al hecho de que habrá muchas
sorpresas en el cielo acerca de los presentes y los ausentes,
(los que ahora son primeros o últimos).
CONSAGRACIÓN: UN PASO GRANDE (y Hermoso)
En la Misa del domingo pasado, se nombraron
CINCUENTA PERSONAS que, después de un retiro de 33
días en preparación, consagraron sus vidas a la Virgen
María cuyo fin es alcanzar el camino más rápido y seguro al
corazón de Jesús y a la santidad.
La consagración es una entrega total a ella como dice la
oración, un dejarse más y más guiar por ella para llegar a
amar con el amor mismo de Jesús.
Oremos por estos hermanos nuestros para que el Espíritu
Santo les ayuda a perseverar en este hermoso compromiso.
Si otros están interesados en hacer algo semejante,
comenzará otro grupo 33 días antes de la fiesta de la
Inmaculada Concepción (celebrada diciembre 8).

Antes de la plática, se pide a los padres que traigan a la
oficina parroquial el acta de nacimiento del niño para
poderlo inscribir con anticipación.
El mismo día de la plática, (de 10 a 1 PM) habrá una lista
de fechas para los bautismos de los próximos meses para que
puedan apuntarse en la fecha que deseen. Generalmente, los
bautismos se celebran los sábados en la mañana.
MENSAJE MARIANO
“!Queridos hijos! Hoy estoy unida a ustedes en la
oración de un modo especial, orando por el don de
la presencia de mi Hijo amado en su país. Oren,
hijitos, por la salud de mi hijo más querido, que
sufre y a quien yo he escogido para estos tiempos.
Yo oro e intercedo ante mi Hijo Jesús, para que se
realice el sueño que tuvieron sus padres. Oren,
hijitos, de manera especial, porque Satanás es
fuerte y desea destruir la esperanza en sus
corazones. ¡Gracias por haber respondido a mi
llamado!” 25 de agosto, 1994.
UN MINUTO CON EL CATECISMO
LAS BIENAVENTURANZAS son el centro de la
predicación de Jesús; recogen y perfeccionan las promesas
de Dios hechas a partir de Abraham. Dibujan el mismo
rostro de Jesús, y trazan la auténtica vida cristiana,
desvelando al hombre el fin “ultimo de sus actos: la
bienaventuranza eterna. (#1716-17. 1725-26).
