STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK
OF NOVEMBER 16/REFLEXIÓN DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA LA SEMANA DEL 16
DE NOVIEMBRE
“Well done my good and faithful servant.” With those words the master
in Jesus’ Parable of the Talents smiles and rewards his servant. We often
cite the Parable of the Talents in relation to stewardship. Because of our
understanding of “talent,” we may assume that this is a parable about skills
and those kinds of gifts.
Of course, in this case, a “talent” is a unit of money. Scholars assume that
the master is wealthy; therefore, whether one received five talents, two
talents, or one talent, they most likely received a huge amount of money
according to our standards. That is not the stewardship perspective of this
parable. Each of us, just as the three servants in the parable, has received
multiple gifts from God (the Master). The question posed by Jesus, and the
question we must be prepared to answer at our own judgment, is “What
have you done with the gifts you have received?”
Everything we have and everything we become are gifts from God. Like the
stewards in the parable, we have been given gifts. Do we develop those gifts
and do we share them, or do we “bury” them and really do nothing with
them? Those who do the former, return them with increase to the Lord,
are not only complimented, but embraced and invited: “Come share your
master’s joy.”

our lady of fatima parish
“Bien hecho mi siervo bueno y fiel.” Con esas palabras el maestro en
Parábola de los Talentos sonríe y premia a su siervo. Seguido citamos la
Parábola de los Talentos en relación con la corresponsabilidad. Debido a
nuestra comprensión de “talento”, podemos suponer que se trata de una
parábola acerca de las habilidades y ese tipo de regalos.
Por supuesto, en este caso, un “talento” es una unidad de dinero. Los
estudiosos suponen que el amo es rico; Por lo tanto, si uno recibio cinco
talentos, dos talentos, o un talento, lo más probable es que recibieron una
gran cantidad de dinero de acuerdo a nuestros entendimientos. Esa no
es la perspectiva de la corresponsabilidad de esta parábola. Cada uno de
nosotros, al igual que los tres siervos de la parábola, ha recibido varios regalos de Dios (el Maestro). La pregunta planteada por Jesús, y la pregunta
que debemos estar preparados para responder en nuestro propio juicio, es
“¿Qué has hecho con los dones que has recibido?”
Todo lo que tenemos y en todo lo que con convertimos son dones de parte
de Dios. Al igual que los administradores de la parábola ¿Hemos multiplicado esos regalos y los hemos compartido, o los “enterramos” y no hacemos nada con ellos?. Esos quienes hacen lo correcto, y los regresan con
aumento al Señor, no sólo se complementados, pero abrazados e invitados:
“Vengan y compartan la alegría de su maestro.”

fr. James C. Ries
Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/
Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima,
Today we are asked to make a commitment to God and the Church. Some of you
received cards in the mail and others may need to get one near the church entrance.
These cards represent in a small way your relationship with God. It’s not uncommon
for us to make such commitments in other relationships. We might make a commitment to call our mom once a week or spend more time writing letters to distant
friends. We make commitments to groups and organizations, like the Rotary Club or
Parent Guild.
Please take this opportunity to really challenge yourself. Just as the other commitments
in your life sustain you, I can assure you, that turning to God and trusting in Him, will
bring more joy and contentment into your lives.
God bless you all!
Fr. Jim
Hoy se nos pide hacer un compromiso con Dios y la Iglesia. Algunos de ustedes recibieron tarjetas en el correo y otros
tendrían que tomar una de las entradas de la iglesia. Estas tarjetas representan de una manera pequeña su relación con
Dios. No es raro para nosotros hacer este tipo de compromisos en otras relaciones. Podríamos hacer un compromiso
para llamar a nuestra madre una vez a la semana o pasar más tiempo escribiendo cartas a amigos distantes. Hacemos
compromisos con los grupos y las organizaciones, como el Club Rotario o Consejo de Padres.
Por favor tome esta oportunidad para realmente ponerse a prueba. Al igual que los otros compromisos en su vida que
sostienen, les puedo asegurar, que el voltearse a Dios y confiar en Él, traerá más alegría y satisfacción en sus vidas.
Dios los Bendiga a todos!
Padre Jim

The overwhelming response was to start the Sunday evening Mass

Saturday evening Mass at 5pm as well, but we will just make one
change at a time.

NOVEMBER 16
Today in Matthew’s gospel, we hear the parable of the
talents. Like the servants in this story, each of us has been
entrusted with gifts from God that we are to receive with
gratitude, nurture responsibly and return with increase.
Like the faithful servants in the gospel, using our gifts in
this way involves some risk. And what does God promise
us in return? Joy!
1. What gifts from God do you recognize in yourself?
2. How can you use these gifts in the service to others?
3. What prevents you from using these gifts?
October Mass Count 2014/
Conteo de Misas de Octubre 2014
Some of you may have noticed a person counting the people at Mass
during the month of October. We do this every October to gauge if
we are growing or shrinking or staying the same. We also send this
information to the Diocese, who combines it with the other parishes
and sends it to Rome.
Listed below are several years of data for Our Lady of Fatima. We
attribute the steep decline to when construction on the new hall
began. We have steadily been growing since it was completed.
Algunos de ustedes pudieron haber notado una persona contando
las personas en la Misa durante el mes de octubre. Hacemos esto cada
mes de octubre para evaluar si estamos creciendo o disminuy­endo o
se mantiene igual. También enviamos esta información a la Diócesis,
el cual se combina con las otras parroquias y se envía a Roma.
A continuación se enumeran varios años de datos de Nuestra Señora de
Fátima. Atribuimos la fuerte caída de cuando comenzó la construcción
del nuevo salón parroquial. Esto no es raro cuando las parroquias
tienen un gran proyecto de construcción. Agradecidamente, hemos
estado creciendo constantemente desde que se completó.

God has given to us with others.

En la mañana del día de Acción de Gracias nos reuniremos como una
comunidad a dar gracias a Dios celebrando una Misa Bilingüe juntos.
Otro nombre para la Misa es la Eucaristía, que es una palabra Griega
que significa “dar gracias.” Será una oportunidad para que nosotros
también compartamos las bendiciones que Dios nos ha dado con los
demás.
