EL ARTE DE ESCUCHAR
HEARTFELT
I would rather say five words devoutly with my
heart than five thousand which my soul does not
relish with affection and understanding.
Si quieres que Dios te escuche cuando rezas, ¿no
deberías tú escuchar a Dios cuando te habla?
LA GLORIA DE DIOS
La gloria de Dios es el hombre viviente.
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

PRO-LIFE CORNER - “Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being’s
entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be contingent, on the pleasure of
anyone else, not even a parent or sovereign… you must weep that your own government, at present, seems blind to
this truth.”–Mother Teresa of Calcutta

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
On Saturday our nation celebrated the 239th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. As we
reflect on the courage, dedication and commitment of our country’s founders, we should pray for all those
fine men and women who serve in the military, guaranteeing that our freedoms are protected from those
who would seek to do us harm. Yet we are also saddened by the terror attacks in Tunisia, France and
Kuwait which left more than 60 dead.
Let us pray that the basic human rights of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” proclaimed by
the Declaration of Independence, will be expanded and protected throughout the world!
Sincerely in Christ
Msgr. Fernando Ferrarese
Queridos Feligreses:
Este sábado nuestra nación celebra el 239 aniversario de la Declaración de la Independencia. Al
reflexionar sobre el coraje, la dedicación y el compromiso de los fundadores de nuestro país, debemos
orar por todos esos buenos hombres y mujeres que sirven en las fuerzas armadas, lo que garantiza que
nuestras libertades están protegidas de aquellos que tratan de hacernos daño. Sin embargo, también
estamos entristecidos por los ataques terroristas en Túnez, Francia y Kuwait que dejaron más de 60
muertos.
Oremos para que los derechos humanos básicos de la "vida, libertad y la búsqueda de la felicidad",
proclamados por la Declaración de la Independencia, seran extendidos y protegidos en todo el mundo!
Sinceramente en Cristo,
Mons. Fernando Ferrarese
