Graduation Mass Sun. May 26th
All are invited to attend this year's Graduation Mass on Sunday May 26th at 10am. Please join us in congratulating our parish's High School Graduates and in praying that they seek out God's will for their lives
As we continue our 180 Message Series, this weekend we are tak-ing a look at a turnaround we are all in need of, from a selfish way of thinking to being willing to sac-rifice for the greater glory of God.
We live in a culture where there’s a predominant “What’s in it for me?” mentality. As followers of Je-sus, we are challenged to imitate the generosity of the Lord who gave everything for love of us. We all know people who are generous, who give of themselves in so many ways to others. I know many such people and there is one thing that sets them apart from others. They have a joy that is contagious. They have learned the secret to happiness, a secret that can help us to make this turnaround in our lives. True happiness is found not in what we have. Rather, lasting happiness comes when we give ourselves in genuine love to others and to the Lord. This 180 turnaround from selfishness to selfless sacrifice can help us embrace the Stewardship way of life. We will be less selfish with our time and give more time to the Lord in prayer. We will be less selfish with our God given talents and share them more generously with our parish and community. We will be less selfish with our financial resources and com-mit to offering a regular sacrificial grift in support of our parish and those who are most in need.

A medida que continuamos con nuestra serie de mensajes 180, este fin de semana vamos a echar un vistazo a
un cambio de rumbo que todos necesitamos, desde una manera egoísta de pensar a estar dispuestos a sacri-ficar por la mayor gloria de Dios. Vivimos en una cultura donde predomina la mentalidad de "¿Qué hay para
mí?". Como seguidores de Jesús, Somos desafiados a imitar la generosidad del Señor que dio todo por amor a nosotros.
Todos conocemos a las personas que son generosas, que se dan de sí mismas de muchas maneras a los demás.
Conozco a mucha gente así y hay una cosa que los distingue de los demás. Tienen una alegría que es conta-giosa. Han aprendido el secreto de la felicidad, un secreto que nos puede ayudar a hacer este cambio en nues-
tras vidas. La verdadera felicidad no se encuentra en lo que tenemos. Más bien, la felicidad duradera llega cuan-do nos damos en amor genuino a los demás y al Señor.
Este cambio de 180 del egoísmo al sacrificio desinteresado puede ayudarnos a abrazar el modo de vida de la mayordomía. Es-
taremos menos egoístas con nuestro tiempo y daremos más tiempo al Señor en la oración. Vamos a ser menos egoístas con nuestro Dios dado talentos y compartirlos más generosamente con nuestra parroquia y comunidad. Vamos a ser menos egoístas
con nuestros recursos financieros y nos comprometemos a ofrecer una estafa de sacrificio regular en apoyo de nuestra par-roquia y aquellos que están más necesitados.
