LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

TO DO THIS SUMMER?

WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR CATHOLIC FAITH?

New Bible Study groups are forming. One is a 20 week

course on Church History and the other a 5 week course

that will focus on the Catholic Mass. These courses are

wonderful ways of getting together with other Catholics

(Teens are invited to participate!) Please contact Carmen

I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me.

— 2 Corinthians 12:9

JESUS’ EXAMPLE OF HELPING OTHERS

In today’s second reading Paul offers a wonderful argument to his converts at Corinth for seeking to help those in need. He is dealing with a practical problem, arranging a collection for the poor of the church of Jerusalem; but as he often does, he develops an important teaching about Jesus to make his point. After asking that they show their faith by generous gifts, he reminds them of the “gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord assumed our human nature, certainly becoming poor for one who is God. The ultimate gracious act of this poverty was going to the cross with all its terrible sufferings. By this act of poverty we definitely become rich. Now our sins can be forgiven; we can share in the very life of God through the sacraments; we can attain eternal salvation! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Monday: Am 2:6-10, 13-16; Mt 8:18-22 Tuesday: Eph 2:19-22; Jn 10:24-29 Wednesday: Am 5:14-15, 21-24; Mt 8:28-34 or, for

Please help us by emailing a summary of the vacancies including requirements/skills needed, and we'll distribute this information to our job support members. Email to: [email protected]

Prayer for Employment God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable employment. I need your wisdom to guide my footsteps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you

have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant

this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Source: Catholic Online


Decimocuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

8 de julio de 2012 Así pues, de buena gana prefiero gloriarme de mis debilidades,

para que se manifieste en mí el poder de Cristo. — 2 Corintios 12:9

ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA 8 de julio de 2012 Dios nuestro, que por medio de la muerte de tu Hijo has redimido al mundo de la esclavitud del pecado, concédenos participar ahora de una santa alegría y, después en el cielo, de la felicidad eterna. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.

Pregunta de reflexión: ¿Dirían los de mi alrededor que muestro la alegría de estar redimido de la esclavitud del pecado?

**Información sobre el Sacramento** Para recibir los sacramentos de Primera Reconciliación, Primera Eucaristía, y Confirmación, el estudiante tiene que haber participado un año en las sesiones de Formación de Fe parroquial o en la escuela católica parroquial el año anterior a matricularse.

FIESTA DE MARIA: 9 DE JULIO

Nuestra Señora de Chiquinquirá, patrona de Colombia y de ciudades en Venezuela y

Perú Cuando la Virgen quiere quedarse en un lugar y proteger a los habitantes, lo hace sin ningún problema, por muchos obstáculos e impedimentos que haya en el camino. Esta es la historia de la imagen de la Virgen de Chiquinquirá, en Colombia, que en realidad era un lienzo representando a Nuestra Señora del Rosario. Parece ser que colonizador español había construido una capilla y habían situado ahí el lienzo. Pero más tarde, la capilla se abandonó y con la humedad el lienzo se deterioró y acabó usándose como criba...Un día una mujer lo vio y pensó que, si había llevado la imagen de la Madre de Dios, debería ser respetado, así que lo llevo a una capilla y oró insistentemente que la Virgen se revelara. Un día, una mujer indígena y su hijo pasaban por allí cuando vieron la imagen con una luz inmensa y los colores restaurados a su brillo original...Una vez más, la Virgen se manifestó a los más humildes, y se quedó con ellos...

Seguido de la misa tendremos una pequeña recepción en el salón social.

DIALOGO MATRIMONIAL Muy cordialmente invitamos a todas las parejas y Familiares de la iglesia Incarnation a celebrar la integración de

MDS a nuestra parroquia, el Viernes 6 de Julio a partir de las 6:30pm celebraremos una misa y posteriormente pasaremos al salón St. Michael.

Contaremos con la presencia de Fr. Michael. El Diálogo Matrimonial es un movimiento Diocesano que brinda a las parejas, la oportunidad de celebrar su vida conyugal dándoles tiempo para compartir sus sentimientos, esperanzas, alegrías, frustraciones, tristezas y sueños en una atmósfera completamente privada y fuera del alcance de las tensiones y distracciones de la vida diaria. Pues bien, lo que Dios ha unido, que el hombre no lo separe. - Marcos 10,9

8 de julio de 2012 pg. 10

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En los calendarios antiguos se celebraba la memoria de san Cristóbal el día 10 de este mes. Pero, con la reforma del Concilio Vaticano II este pobre santo se quedó sin trabajo sólo por el hecho de no poder comprobar su existencia. No fue que la reforma del Concilio Vaticano II quisiera haber negado al pobre de Cristóbal ni a tantos otros santos que fueron quitados del Santoral Romano. Sólo buscaba hacer lugar para nuevos santos y beatos; y menos mal, porque eventualmente el papa Juan Pablo II canonizó y beatificó a más de mil personas durante su pontificado. Muchos de estos santos no son tan bien conocidos como nuestro amigo san Cristóbal. Aunque ya no está en el calendario eclesiástico, Cristóbal continúa en los tableros de muchos carros ofreciendo su servicio de protección para los automovilistas. Esta chambita la consiguió porque ayudaba a cruzar el río a personas en camino, hasta que un día le tocó cargar con el niño Dios. Su nombre significa “el que carga con Cristo” y es un desafío a todos los que llevamos el nombre de cristiano. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos�Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. NUESTRA CULTURA

A veces se piensa que las personas importantes son inalcanzables, están en otro lugar. La demasiada familiaridad con alguien

parece que le resta importancia a la persona y su mérito. Eso podría ser peligroso en relaciones familiares, ya que al no esperar cosas grandes de la persona conocida, se podría paralizar y ahogar cualquier intento o iniciativa que la persona pudiera tener. Si no hay fe en las personas, no podrían hacer aquello a lo que Dios los ha llamado. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2012

BEATA KATERI TEKAKWITHA Esta joven nativa americana (de las tribus Mohawk y Algonquin), será canonizada en octubre de este año. Es la primera nativa americana venerada como santa en la Iglesia. Su papá era un jefe Mohawk y su mamá católica, de la tribu Algonquin, fue capturada y llevada prisionera a territorio Mohawk, donde se casó.

Su familia murió por una epidemia de viruela, y Kateri aprendió el catecismo de los misioneros franceses. Fue despreciada y marginada por su tribu, pero con un grupo de amigas, formó una comunidad de fe para apoyarse mutuamente y enseñar la doctrina de los niños y a cuidar de los pobres y los enfermos. Murió muy joven, con solo 24 años, cuando acababa de pronunciar sus votos religiosos. Es patrona de la ecología.
