Pastor's Corner - April 22, 2018 In my homily last weekend, I spoke about radiating Christ. The following are prayers that I mentioned. I hope you enjoy them. - Fr. Tim

“I used to pray that God would feed the hungry, or do this or that, but now I pray that He will guide me to do whatever I'm supposed to do, what I can do. I used to pray for answers, but now I'm praying for strength. I used to believe that prayer changes things, but now I know that prayer changes us and we change things.” - Saint Teresa of Calcutta

“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."- Saint Teresa of Calcutta

Dear Jesus, help us to spread Your fragrance everywhere we go. Flood our souls with Your Spirit and Life. Penetrate and possess our whole being, so utterly,that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through us, and be so in us, that every soul we come in contact with may feel Your presence in our soul. Let them look up and see no longer us but only Jesus! Stay with us and then we shall begin to shine, as You shine; So to shine as to be a light to others; The light, O Jesus, will be all from You, none of it will be ours; It will be You shining on others through us. Let us thus praise You in the way You love best, by shining on those around us. Let us preach you without preaching, not by words by by our example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what we do, the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to You. Amen. - Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman

Lord, make me a channel of your peace,

That where there is hatred, I may bring love; Where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; Where there is discord, I may bring harmony; Where there is error, I may bring truth; Where there is doubt, I may bring faith; Where there is despair, I may bring hope; Where there are shadows, I may bring light; Where there is sadness, I may bring joy;

Lord, grant I may seek rather To comfort than to be comforted; To understand than to be understood; To love than to be loved;

For it is by forgetting self That one finds, It is by forgiving That one is forgiven, It is by dying That one awakens to eternal life.

Amen.

- Prayer of St. Francis as prayed by Saint Teresa of Calcutta

La Esquina del Pastor - 22 de abril de 2018 En mi homilía del fin de semana pasado, hablé acerca de irradiar a Cristo. Las siguientes son oraciones que mencioné. Espero que las disfrutes. - P. Tim

“Solía rezar para que Dios alimentara a los hambrientos, o hacer esto o aquello, pero ahora rezo para que él me guíe a hacer lo que se supone que debo, que puedo hacer. Solía rezar en busca de respuestas, pero ahora estoy orando para que me de fuerza. Solía creer que la oración cambiaba las cosas, pero ahora sé que la oración nos cambia a nosotros y nosotros cambiamos las cosas” - Beata Madre Teresa de Calcuta

“A menudo la gente puede ser irrazonable (sic), irracional y egocéntrica. De todas formas, perdónalos. Si eres amable, puede que la gente te acuse de motivos ocultos egoístas. De todas formas, sé amable. Si tienes éxito, conseguirás algunos amigos desleales y algunos enemigos genuinos. De todas formas, ten éxito. Si eres honesto y sincero la gente puede decepcionarte. De todas formas, sé honesto y sincero. Aquello que te cuesta años construir puede ser destruido de un día para otro. De todas formas, construye. Si encuentras serenidad y felicidad, alguno puede estar celoso. De todas formas, sé feliz. El bien que hagas hoy, la gente lo olvidará. De todas formas, haz el bien. Da lo mejor de ti, y nunca será suficiente. De todas formas, da lo mejor de ti. En el análisis final, es entre Dios y tú. De todas formas, nunca fue entre ellos y tú”. - Beata Madre Teresa de Calcuta

Jesús mío: ayúdame a esparcir tu fragancia donde quiera que vaya; inunda mi alma con tu espíritu y tu vida; llena todo mi ser y toma de él posesión de tal manera que mi vida no sea en Adelante sino una irradiación de la tuya. Quédate en mi corazón en una unión tan íntima que quienes tengan contacto conmigo puedan sentir en mí tu presencia; y que al mirarme olviden que yo existo y no piensen sino en Ti. Quédate conmigo. Así podré convertirme en luz para los otros. Esa luz, oh Jesús, vendrá toda de Ti; ni uno solo de sus rayos será mío. Te serviré apenas de instrument para que Tú ilumines a las almas a través de mí. Déjame alabarte en la forma que te es más agradable: llevando mi lámpara encendida para disipar las sombras en el camino de otras almas.Déjame predicar tu nombre sin palabras. Con mi ejemplo, con mi fuerza de atracción con la sobrenatural influencia de mis obras, con la fuerza evidente del amor que mi corazón siente por Ti.- Oración del Beato John Henry Newman

Oh Señor, hazme instrumento de tú paz.

Donde hay odio, que yo lleve el Amor. Donde hay ofensa, que yo lleve el Perdón. Donde hay discordia, que yo lleve la Unión. Donde hay duda, que yo lleve la Fé. Donde hay error, que yo lleve la Verdad. Donde hay desesperación, que yo lleve la Esperanza. Donde hay tristeza, que yo lleve la Alegría. Donde están las tinieblas, que yo lleve la Luz.

Oh Maestro, haced que yo no busque tanto: Ser consolado, sino consolar. Ser comprendido, sino comprender. Ser amado, sino amar.

Porque: Es dando, que se recibe. Perdonando, que se es perdonado Muriendo, que se resucita a la Vida Eterna.

Amen.

- Oración de San Francisco rezada por Santa Teresa de Calcuta

Catholic Home Missions

The Catholic Home Missions Appeal will take place next week. One way that this appeal works to strengthen home mission dioceses in the United States is by funding seminarian formation in poor dioceses. The blessing of seminarians places a financial burden on these dioceses, where educating each seminarian can cost $35,000-40,000 per year. Your support is needed for these young men so they might go back and serve their parishes. Please

strengthen the Church at home by making a generous gift to next week’s appeal.

The Youth Group will be hosting a Trivia Night fundraiser on Saturday, April 28th in the Parish Hall following the 6:00pm Mass.
