The Light of Faith:
-Pope Francis
The light of faith is concretely placed at the
service of justice, law and peace. Faith is
born of an encounter with God's primordial
love, wherein the meaning and goodness of
our life become evident. ...Faith makes us
appreciate the architecture of human
relationships because it grasps their
ultimate foundation and definitive destiny
in God, in his love, and thus sheds light on
the art of building; as such it becomes a
service to the common good. Faith is truly
a good for everyone; it is a common good.
Lumen Fidei, #51

Heavenly Father,
Pour forth your Holy Spirit to inspire me with
these words from Holy Scripture.
Padre Celestial,
Derrama tu Espíritu Santo y sea yo inspirado con
estas palabras de la Sagrada Escritura.
Stir in my soul the desire to renew my faith
and deepen my relationship with your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ so that I might
truly believe in and live the Good News.
Llena mi alma del deseo de renovar mí fe
Y profundizar mi relación con tu Hijo,
nuestro Señor Jesucristo para que yo pueda
verdaderamente creer y vivir la Buena Nueva.
Open my heart to hear the Gospel
and grant me the confidence to proclaim
the Good News to others.
Abre mi corazón para oír el Evangelio
y concédeme la confianza de proclamar la
Buena Nueva a otros.
Pour out your Spirit, so that I might be
strengthened to go forth and witness to
the Gospel in my everyday life
through my words and actions.
In moments of hesitation, remind me:
If not me, then who will proclaim the Gospel?
If not now, then when will the Gospel
be proclaimed?
If not the truth of the Gospel,
then what shall I proclaim?
Derrama tu Espíritu, para que yo pueda ser
fortalecido para seguir y ser testigo del Evangelio
en mi vida diaria a través de mis palabras y
acciones.
En momentos de vacilación, recuérdeme:
¿Si no soy yo, entonces quién proclamará la
Evangelio?
¿Si no es ahora, entonces cuándo será
proclamado el Evangelio?
¿Si no proclamo la verdad del Evangelio,
entonces qué proclamaré?
God, our Father, I pray that through the Holy
Spirit I might hear the call of the New
Evangelization to deepen my faith,
grow in confidence to proclaim the Gospel
and boldly witness to the saving grace
of your Son, Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen.
Dios, Padre nuestro, rezo que a través del
Espíritu Santo yo pueda oír la llamada de la
Nueva Evangelización a profundizar mi fe, crecer
en confianza para proclamar el Evangelio y
vigorosamente atestiguar a la gracia salvadora
de tu Hijo, Jesucristo,
quien vive y reina contigo, en la unidad del
Espíritu Santo, y es Dios,
por los siglos de los siglos.
Amen.
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
In this Gospel, Jesus says “Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money
bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in Heaven that no thief
can reach nor moth destroy.”
We Always seem to want more—more money, more pleasure, more power and it is
desiring more that can draw us away from Christ and make us unhappy people. So if we
have sufficient food for ourselves, our families and reasonable comfort in our homes, let us
be content. As we spare a thought and some money for those who are suffering from
poverty, we will be able to redirect our hearts to what is our treasure, Jesus, and then we
will be faithful disciples.
To all of you who share with us, we say a heartfelt “THANK YOU!” for without your
generosity, we would not be able to accomplish as much as we do. Your continued support
is appreciated and will help bring respite and hope to your neighbors and you will indeed
find “an inexhaustible treasure in Heaven!”

Join PFI: A two year process of
human, intellectual, spiritual, and
pastoral formation for Catholics.
The Pastoral Formation Institute is an
educational/formational process which offers an
exciting, integrated approach for today’s adult
learner. Through instruction, prayer, faith
sharing and development of leadership skills,
the process prepares the lay Catholic adult to
experience and enter more fully into the life of
the Church.
The 30 weekly two-hour sessions are based
on an extensive curriculum that includes
personal development skills in the area of
listening and gift discernment, as well as study
of Sacred Scripture, Christology, Ecclesiology,
Morality, Sacraments, Liturgy, Church Ministry.
In addition to weekly sessions, formation
weekends at the Seminary enrich the PFI
process. Two or three formation weekends and/
or workshops are held each year. After
completion of the two year program, participants
have an option to enroll in a third year ministry
leadership track in a chosen ministry. For more
information, call Father Chris at 234-6535, Ext.

PREPARACIÓN
Imagínate la siguiente escena: estás sentado en tu pupitre en la escuela. La maestra camina
por el pasillo, y coloca el examen delante de ti,
volteado hacia abajo. Preparas tu reloj. Tienes
exactamente una hora para completar ese examen. Volteas el papel. Y entonces te das cuenta:
nunca tomaste apuntes. Nunca estudiaste ni hiciste tareas. Para un estudiante, la falta de preparación es la pesadilla de pesadillas.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús habla de la
necesidad de prepararse. Dios estará encantado
de darnos el reino, dice Jesús. “con la túnica puesta y las lámparas encendidas.” Prepárate.
Las enseñanzas de Jesús nos recuerdan la
pregunta que una vez le hicieron a san Francisco de
Sales y sus compañeros, que, de acuerdo a la historia, estaban jugando billar. “¿Qué harían si les dijeran que el fin del mundo llegará en una hora?” Los
amigos de san Francisco empezaron a conjeturar
sobre cómo pondrían sus asuntos en orden. Casi
todos mencionaron la oración. Francisco se encogió de hombros: “Yo seguiría haciendo lo mismo
que hago ahora.” ¿Estás tú listo para encontrarte
con el Señor?

From Fr. Jack Moore:
This weekend we welcome Brother James McKnight, a Marist Brother. He is here through
the Mission Cooperative Program. It is an opportunity to learn about various religious communities
like the Marists who share their gifts to help enable them to fulfill the mission of the Church to
proclaim the Good News of Jesus in their own unique way. We learn of how the Good News is
proclaimed in Word and action in various places of the Universal Church.
On Saturday of this weekend, the Feast of El Salvador del Mundo will be observed, we will
have had Mass, a concert; and Salvadorian food. This feast is the Patron Feast of the country of El
Salvador. We celebrate Jesus as the Savior of the World. The capital of El Salvador is San Salvador,
or Saint Savior. This Feast would have special meaning on two counts: 1. my parents were married
in St. Savior’s Parish almost 80 years ago; and 2. both my sisters and me were baptized there. St.
Savior’s Parish is located in Brooklyn. Also of note, one of the four Basilicas in Rome was dedicated
to Jesus, Our Savior many centuries ago.
In our Parish, Diocese, and universal Church, we have observed this year as the Year of
Faith. Our Second Reading today is from the Letter to the Hebrews. Besides presenting what faith
is, it gives a number of examples of what it means to live “by faith” using the story of Abraham. Like
Abraham we are called to live “by faith.”
By such faith we put our trust in God; and that faith, or trust, is meant to be a source of joy
and courage as we live out our days
Peace be with you, Fr. Jack Moore
De Padre Jack Moore:
Este fin de semana dimos la bienvenida al Hermano James McKnight, un Hermano Marista.
El esta aquí a través del Programa Misión Cooperativa. Es una oportunidad para aprender acerca de
las diversas comunidades religiosas como la de los Maristas que comparten sus dones para ayudar a
fin de que puedan cumplir con la misión de la Iglesia para proclamar las Buenas Nuevas de Jesús en
su propia y única manera. Aprendemos como la Buena Nueva es proclamada en Palabra y acción en
varios lugares de la Iglesia Universal.
El Sábado de este fin de semana, se observó la Fiesta del El Salvador del Mundo, habremos
tenido la misa, un concierto; y la comida Salvadoreña. Esta es la Fiesta Patronal del país de El
Salvador. Celebramos a Jesús como el Salvador del Mundo. La capital de El Salvador es San
Salvador, o el Santo Salvador (St. Savoir). Esta fiesta tiene un significado especial por dos razones:
1. mis padres se casaron en la Parroquia de St. Savior-San Salvador- hace casi 80 años; y 2. ambos
mis hermanas y yo fuimos bautizados allí. La Parroquia de St. Savoir-San Salvador-se encuentra en
Brooklyn. También como una nota, una de las cuatro Basílicas en Roma es dedicada a Jesús,
Nuestro Salvador hace muchos siglos.
En nuestra Parroquia, Diócesis, y en la Iglesia universal, hemos observado este año como el
Año de Fe. La Segunda Lectura de hoy es de la Carta a los Hebreos. Además de presentar que es la
fe, nos da una serie de ejemplos de lo que significa vivir “por fe” usando la historia de Abraham. Al
igual que Abrahán, nosotros estamos llamados a vivir “por Fe.”
Por esa fe, ponemos nuestra confianza en Dios; y esa fe, o confianza esta destinada a ser una fuente
de alegría y coraje de como vivimos nuestros días.
La paz esté con ustedes, Padre Jack Moore
