Do I possess God?
This Monday November 9th, after the morning
mass I was reflecting on what to write to fill up
my column in the bulletin. It came to my mind
the inspiring life story of St. Francis of Assisi.
One day, St. Francis and a brother were travelling to Rome. On the way they did not have food
to eat, so they begged and received some dried bread
from some good-willed people. They went to a lonely place
and kept the food on a white rock. Then Francis laughed
with great joy and was full of excitement. But the brother
did not understand why he laughed and the meaning of
his joy and happiness, because the food that they received was some dried bread, considered to be the food
of the chickens. He asked “Why do you laugh?” Francis
replied, “How rich and lucky we are!” “How can you say
that we are lucky and fortunate?” asked the brother.
Francis continued, “Look at the sun, the water, and the
food. We are not worthy enough to enjoy such great
things.” But the brother said, “What are you saying? We
do not have a plate to eat, we do not have good food, no
knife and fork, no house, shelter or servants.”
How great is the mind of the St, Francis? In the midst of
utter poverty and hunger, he could find himself happy and
joyful, only because he possessed God who is the source
of everything. We are all much, much richer than Francis,
but are never as joyful as Francis and never satisfied with
what we have and who we are. Often times we fall in
deep despair thinking about what we do not have. The
reason for our dissatisfaction is not that we lack something, but it is our attitude and perception, and as a result
we become spiritually sick. Whatever we achieve or possess will give only momentary happiness, as we will be
always worrying about something which we are longing to
get.
We will begin to enjoy our life only when we have the feeling that we are satisfied with what we have. Jesus told us
to learn from the birds of the sky. What does it teach us?
If the birds of the sky see hundreds of acres of land filled
with grains of food, they never think to collect enough for
the coming six months, so that they go nowhere in search
of food. Instead they collect food only for the day. This is
what we should learn from the birds of the sky.
Our life will be meaningful only when we possess God who
is the source of everything. Instead of running after
things, let us approach God and possess Him, that He will
give us supreme satisfaction and joy.

Tengo poseción de Dios?
Este Lunes Noviembre 9, después de la misa
matutina, yo estaba pensando en qué escribir para
llenar la columna en el boletín. Recordé la vida
inspiradora de San Francisco de Asís. Un día, San
Francisco y un hermano viajaban a Roma. En el
camino no tenían nada que comer, así es que
pidiéron limosna y recibiéron pan seco de personas de
buena voluntad. Fueron a un lugar solitario y pusieron el
pan en una roca blanca. Luego Francisco se reía con
mucha alegría y lleno de emoción. Pero el hermano no comprendía porqué se reía con tanta alegría y felicidad porque
el pan que habían recibído estaba seco y se consideraba
ser alimento para las gallinas. Le preguntó “Porqué te
ríes?” Fancisco respondió, “¡Qué ricos y afortunados
sómos!” “Cómo puedes decir que sómos afortunados?”
preguntó el hermano. Francisco continuó, “Mira el sol, el
agua y el pan. No merecémos gozar de tan grandes cosas.”
Pero el hermano decía “Qué és lo que estas diciéndo? No
tenémos plato para comer, no tenémos buenos alimentos,
no hay cuchillo y tenedor, no hay casa, refugio o sirvientes.”
¡Qué grande es la mente de San Francisco, en medio de la
pobreza y el hambre, él siempre era felíz y alegre, sólo
porque poseía a Dios quién és la fuente de todas las cosas.
Todos nosotros sómos mucho más ricos que Francisco, pero
nunca tan alegres como Francisco y nunca nos sentimos
satisfechos con lo que tenemos y con lo que sómos. Muy a
menudo caémos en profunda desesperación pensando
acerca de lo que no tenémos. La razón por nuestra disatisfacción nó és que nos falte algo, pero és nuestra actitud y
percepción, y el resultado és que llegámos a sentirnos
espiritualmente enfermos. Cualesquier cosa que realicémos o llegémos a poseer nos dará momentariamente algo
de felicidad, siempre estarémos preocupados por algo que
estamos ansiosos por tener.
Empesamos a gozar de nuestra vida solamente cuando nos
sentimos satisfechos con lo que tenemos. Jesús nos dijo
que aprendámos de los pájaros del cielo. Qué nos enseñan? Si los pájaros del cielo ven cientos de acres de
tierra llenos de pisca de alimentos, éllos nunca piensan en
colectar suficientes alimentos para los sigientes seis meses,
para así no tener que salir en búsqueda de alimentos. En
cambio éllos recojen alimentos sólo por un día. Esto és lo
que debemos aprender de los pájaros del cielo.
Nuestra vida tendrá sentido sólo cuando poseámos a Dios
quién és la fuente de todo. En lugar de correr tras las cosas, vengámos a Dios a poseérlo, para que así él nos dé
suma satisfacción y alegría.
May God Bless
Que Dios les bendiga

Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Nov. 15, 2015
The Scripture passages from the Book of the Prophet
Daniel and St. mark’s Gospel speak of the end times.
Christ’s second coming. The Letter to the Hebrews describes Jesus’s sacrifice for sins and His seating at God’s
right hand, waiting for judgment. At that time, we will
be asked to give a final accounting of our stewardship of
God’s abundant blessings to us. Those who embraced
evangelization of their brothers and sisters, making
Christian stewardship a way of life to build God’s Kingdom on earth, will experience great joy and a celebration of eternal life with God in the “new heaven and new
earth.” If the end happened today, would the evidence of
our bringing those to Christ by our stewardship grant us
to be counted among God’s elect?

Why Gratitude Matters
Positive emotions open us up to see more possibilities and take in
more information. They boost our ability to develop skills, learn
and make good decisions. Positive emotions balance out negative
emotions. People who often feel grateful and appreciative are
happier, less stressed, and less depressed. Gratitude is like a Uturn on complaining or thinking about what we don’t have.
make St. Teresa the beautiful and givunable to attend the gratitude mass and
breakfast, but we truly appreciate
everyone for their giving spirit.
The family of St. Teresa
welcomes you!
