Letter From The Pastor
Dear Parishioners:
I was born a Jersey Boy, but grew up outside Syracuse, New York in an old house that
was shared by two families. Eventually we were able to convert our home into a singlefamily dwelling. My dad worked two jobs and my mother worked during the day but was
home when we were home. About the time I was 13 or 14 my dad and I took on the task
of improving the house.
We spent weekend after weekend crawling under the house and running new wire
through the crawl space, through the attic, etc. We put up a new ceiling to replace a tin
ceiling in the living room. We saved for several months so we could put in a new roof. We
had to hire a company for this. There were several other improvements for the house. We
just did not seem to get to the point of redecorating the inside.
Just as we were reaching a bit of financial security, my family was transferred to Houston as part of NASA
moving to Houston. I have always wondered, if we had been able to complete the work on the inside of the house
could my parents have sold it for more? It is still standing today [although it looks a lot smaller than I remember].
Our parish over the last few months has experienced much unseen work that is important for the health of the
buildings. We are served by a strong Buildings and Grounds Committee and Facilities Manager. To go over some
of the changes we have implemented —
A. The Church
 New drainage has been installed and we continue to monitor ground water issues
 We have begun the work of repairing our Burnham windows to preserve their beauty
 The women’s restroom repair and restoration
 New exterior lighting and more to come
B. The Apostolic Center
 New phone system
 Upgrades to our technology need
 New Faith Formation Suite
 Upgrades to security cameras [church and school]
C. School
 All classrooms painted
 Increased safety for doors, etc.
 Opened new Fine Arts Center for art and music.
 New sanitary plumbing repairs and a fix to a construction mistake [66% paid for by the architect
and contractor]
Your parish staff is working year round to help make our parish operate for the greater honor and glory of
God. Our plans include increased lighting on the parking lots on Holcombe and Buffalo Speedway. Some evenings
we have 8 to 10 different offices or rooms occupied for classes, counseling, etc.
All these projects are possible because you support this parish with your prayers and financial gifts. As we
begin this new school year let us give thanks for all we have. It is important for all of us to contribute to the
financial strength of the parish in order that we continue to maintain what we have and provide for updates and
repairs.
I ask all of us to reflect and ask ourselves if my financial support is a true reflection of my gratitude to God for
the blessings I have. Perhaps it is time to bump up the tithe we give to our church. So many wonderful things
year round and a solid financial base contributes and facilitates a growth in service and outreach.
Maintaining our physical plant, while the highest of missions, a very important element to maintain is our mission
as a parish and place of worship. Thank you for all you have done to make this parish a wonderful Family of Faith.
Pax et bonum,
Msgr. Bill

HOW IS GOD, IN HIS INFINITE
LOVE, CALLING YOU?
While reading through a Catholic marriage blog recently, the
traditional vows somehow took on a different phrasing. Instead of the usual promises to honor and be true to each other,
the vows became: God has chosen you to give yourself freely
to your spouse, accept children lovingly, to honor each other
and be true to each other under all circumstances: what is
your response? And the response was the same one the
Blessed Virgin Mary gave when asked to conceive and become the Mother of God. “Fiat,” she said: let it be done to me
according to Your word.
When we say “I do,” we aren’t just making a vow to our
spouse in the sight of God. We are also saying “Fiat” to the
marriage vocation to which God has entrusted us.
Common questions in Catholic marriage preparation concern
emotional maturity, putting someone else’s happiness above
your own, delaying gratifications, and keeping commitments.
Mary, at age 14, was able to put away girlish thinking and
youthful insecurity and commit to a relationship which had
uncertain benefit to herself and no reward in this world, because God had called her to this work.
St. John Paul II said “Every aspect of priestly formation can
be referred to Mary, the human being who has responded
better than any other to God’s call…to the point of conceiving, in her heart and in her flesh, the Word made man, so as
to give him to mankind.” For the very same reason, our
Mother Mary is the model of the other, great universal vocation, Marriage.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Her story was one of loneliness and
the cross. At almost 70 years old she
lives in a home inherited from her deceased mother, has concern over a brother with severe emotional needs, and her
only help paying bills is from the little money that her
son earns mowing lawns. She called because she was
about to lose water service. Water leaks in her home had
persisted for over a year and resulted in large bills.
Two Vincentians visited her home to offer compassion, hope and assistance. One Vincentian brought tools
and went on hands and knees to diagnosis the extent of
the problems. The needs were so significant that he took
pictures to show a plumber. We contacted two other
charities to assist us in paying her bill, after spending
many hours confirming with the city water department
the extent of her expenses owed.
We thank Terrell Sword of Sword Plumbing Company, for his complimentary service of three home visits to
remedy our client’s water leaks. Terrell said that he was
so very grateful to have had the opportunity to help an
individual in such need. We also advised our client about
Social Security benefits that she was entitled to receive,
and helped her obtain free legal advice which she needed.
The conclusion of our client’s story is that water resources have been saved, expenses reduced, the living
environment of her home has improved and she is getting
the legal and financial assistance that she needs. We offer
sincere gratitude to the parishioners of our Church and to
Sword Plumbing Company for helping us put into prayer
and action the plea of St. Vincent de Paul: “Bear the
pains of the poor together with them, doing all you can to
give them whatever help they need, and remain in peace.”
Please call 713-664-5350 if you are interested in membership in our Parish Society of St. Vincent de Paul Conference. Your prayers for Jesus in the suffering and in the
poor and donations to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
are humbly and gratefully appreciated.

The Jubilee Year of Mercy Has Not Ended – Now is the Time of Mercy
Join us for an AMAZING 10-session Journey
Fr. Michael Gaitley weaves a tapestry of wonder
and beauty from the threads of the dramatic

of Our Lady of Fatima, the powerful witness of
St. Maximillian Kolbe, and the world-changing
papacy of Pope Saint John Paul II.
But this is more than just a masterful telling of
the “Second Greatest Story.” Thanks to the brilliant artistry of the Augustine Institute’s worldclass film team, this amazing story comes to life
like never before. In fact, you’ll not just learn
about the consoling message of Divine Mercy,
you’ll experience it.

Today’s Readings
First Reading — Who can ever know God’s counsel unless God gives wisdom and sends the Holy Spirit from on
high? (Wisdom 9:13-18b).
Psalm — In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge
(Psalm 90).
Second Reading — Paul asks Philemon to accept back
his slave Onesimus, not as a slave but as a brother
(Philemon 9-10, 12-17).
Gospel — To be a disciple of Jesus one must carry one’s
own cross and renounce all possessions (Luke 14:25-33).
God Is Calling You to a
Deeper Relationship with Him
If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the
Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be seen as
“spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our
covenant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the
blessings of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to
us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly
Bridegroom.

Vigésimotercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
4 de septiembre de 2016
ASUNTOS DE FAMILIA
En nuestros días usamos a menudo la palabra “familia” para describir toda una serie de relaciones más o menos
íntimas que existen (o debieran existir) entre los miembros de varias agrupaciones humanas. Las parroquias,
escuelas, tropas exploradoras de niños o niñas, los grupos de trabajo y muchas otras agrupaciones se refieren
frecuentemente a sí mismos como “miembros de una
familia”. Por tanto, ¡cuánto nos sorprenderá, como familia
natural o parroquial, escuchar hoy de labios del mismo Jesús,
que para entender lo que es ser discípulo suyo hay que
renunciar a las relaciones familiares y romper esos lazos, y
hasta llegar a despreciar la misma vida que Dios nos ha dado!
¿Habrá que tomar esto al pie de la letra? Sí, y no. El
Evangelio de hoy nos dice que, para progresar como
discípulo, para seguir a Cristo cada vez más de cerca, sólo
Cristo y su Evangelio deben ser corazón y centro de nuestra
vida. ¿Acaso la mayoría de nosotros seremos llamados a dejar
atrás nuestras familias? Probablemente, no. Pero si somos
discípulos de Cristo, hemos de estar dispuestos a hacerlo.
UNA FAMILIA GUIADA POR LA SABIDURÍA DE DIOS
La primera lectura, tomada del libro de la Sabiduría, nos ofrece de cierta manera, la misma lección.
Nada de lo que sabemos en esta vida, nada de lo que más amamos o de lo que más apreciamos, puede
equipararse con las riquezas insondables de la sabiduría divina. La descripción algo drástica de Jesús sobre lo
que tenemos que rechazar, pone el mismo abismo que describe el autor del libro de la Sabiduría entre los
caminos de Dios y nuestros caminos. Pero tanto Jesús como el autor del libro de la Sabiduría nos enseñan que,
por medio del espíritu de la gracia que viene de lo alto, Dios puede venir a nosotros y de hecho viene a
revelarnos el camino del cielo. No podemos encontrar esos caminos por nosotros mismos, ni en las cosas de
este mundo ni en nuestras relaciones humanas. Pero con la ayuda de Dios podemos, aun con nuestra naturaleza
limitada, acercarnos más y más a los brazos amorosos que Dios nos ofrece.
Lecturas de hoy: Sabiduría 9:13–18b; Salmo 90:3–6, 12–17; Filemón 9–10, 12–17; Lucas 14:25–33

y protestaban la desaparición de sus hijos. Poco a poco
esta protesta de madres se fue expandiendo a El Salvador
y otros países donde agentes del gobierno hacían desaparecer a los que obraban por la justicia y el bienestar del pueblo. En Latinoamérica la Virgen de los Dolores que viste
de negro y llora la muerte de su hijo quien estaba en la flor
de la vida se ha transformado en la Madre de los Desaparecidos. Ella acompaña silenciosamente en la protesta de
tanta latina que ha perdido hijos, maridos y hermanos a
autoridades injustas o cobardes. La vigilia de las Madres
de la Plaza de Mayo terminó en enero de 2006 cuando por
fin se encontraron con un gobierno que busca los desaparecidos con ellas. Lamentablemente en muchos lugares las
madres de los desaparecidos todavía no pueden contar con
las autoridades civiles. Con ellas María se une en protesta
silenciosa. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
