Council # 7904August 29 - 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: The gospel today hits home closer than we may think. What traditions do we blindly cling to? Perhaps it is enough for us just to go to Mass on Sunday? Do we keep the letter of
the law and miss entirely the spirit of the law. Interior right-eousness means a heart turned to God. Purity of heart is expressed in righteous living: self - giving for the sake of others. As you give your gift to the poor through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in your heart you also will find the good news of God’s love. We’d like to thank those of you who donated school supplies for our back-to-school campaign. We provided 20 backpacks with school supplies to families in need. 29 de agosto - Vigésimo segundo domingo del tiempo ordinario: El Evangelio de hoy llega a casa más cerca de lo que pen-samos. ¿A qué tradiciones nos aferramos ciegamente? ¿Quizás basta con que vayamos a misa el domingo? ¿Nos quedamos con la letra de la ley y echamos de menos por completo el espíritu de la ley? Justicia interior significa un corazón vuelto a Dios. La pureza de corazón se expresa en la vida recta: uno mismo - dar por el bien de los demás. Al dar su regalo a los pobres a través de la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl, en su corazón también encontrará las buenas nuevas del amor de Dios. Nos gustaría agradecer a aquellos de ustedes que donaron útiles escolares para nuestra campaña de regreso a la escuela. Propor-cionamos 20 mochilas con útiles escolares a familias necesitadas.
