From Fr. Davy’s Desk:
In the last Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus prepared the disciples for a mission and sent them out. Today’s
readings invite us to be good spiritual leaders. An ordinary leader will be annoyed when disturbed
while resting. Jesus’ private time had been invaded and his much needed rest was denied. His heart
like sheep without a shepherd.
was moved with pity for the people, because they were
The ministry of the shepherd is a big challenge to keep everyone united risking his or her life, time
and plans. In Jesus’ life we see him going away from the presence of people to the presence of God
and back again. Sometimes we may spend too much time in the activities and thus gradually lose
the vision of God. A good religious leader should be at the middle. He must set his time to be with
the people and with God. Then only he or she will be able to go through the right way and show the
way.
.
Every week we have the opportunity to break down the barriers that divide us from God. We keep
ourselves busy during the week. We need some time to relax and be with the Lord alone. Everyone
needs little time to be alone in a deserted place to evaluate and to pray about what we are doing. If
not, there is a possibility for mental disorders and disappointments. Christian life is a continuous
passage from the presence of God to the presence of people and back again.
People today find it difficult to balance the two aspects of the Christian life. From our reflection on
today’s Gospel, let us remind ourselves that we meet with God in the church so that we may serve
people more effectively outside.
Mensaje del Padre Davy:
En el Evangelio del último domingo, Jesús preparó a los discípulos para una misión y los envió. Las
lecturas de hoy nos invitan a ser buenos líderes espirituales. Un líder ordinario será molesto cuando
se les molesta mientras descansa. Tiempo privado de Jesús había sido invadida y su necesario
descanso fue negado. Su corazón fue movido con compasión por el pueblo, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor.
El ministerio del pastor es un gran reto para mantener a todos unidos poner en riesgo la vida, el
tiempo y los planes. En la vida de Jesús lo vemos ir lejos de la presencia de personas a la presencia de Dios y de regreso. A veces podemos pasar mucho tiempo en las actividades y así poco a poco pierden la visión de Dios. Un buen persona religiosa/o debe encontrar tiempo para estar con la
gente y con Dios. Sólo entonces seremos capaces de caminar por el camino correcto y mostrar el
camino.
Cada semana tenemos la oportunidad de romper las barreras que nos separan de Dios. Nos mantenemos ocupados durante la semana. Necesitamos un poco de tiempo para relajarse y estar con el
Señor solo. Todo el mundo necesita poco tiempo para estar a solas en un lugar desierto para evaluar y orar acerca de lo que estamos haciendo. Si no, hay una posibilidad de que los trastornos
mentales y decepciones. La vida cristiana es un paso continuo de la presencia de Dios a la presencia de las personas y viceversa.
La gente en el mundo moderno tienen dificultades para equilibrar los dos aspectos de la vida cristiana. Desde nuestra reflexión sobre el Evangelio de hoy, recordemos que nos encontramos con Dios
en la iglesia para que podamos servir a la gente de manera más eficaz el exterior.

Welcome to become a Catholic
Every year on Holy Saturday at the Easter Vigil, parishes throughout the world welcome new Catholics into their community. Some people are becoming Catholics for
the first time, some were baptized Christians and wish to become Catholics, and others want to complete their initiation by receiving Eucharist and Confirmation.
The Church invites you to take part in the process of Rite of Christian Initiation of
Adults (RCIA). Candidates for the RCIA process are as follows:
 All unbaptized adults seeking full initiation through Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
 Those baptized in Christian denominations, but not Catholic, who seek to come into full communion with the Catholic Church by making a Profession of Faith
and receiving Confirmation and Eucharist.

Those baptized Catholic who seek to complete their initiation through Confirmation
and Eucharist. Our parish begins this process of Christian Initiation on Thursday, September 17,
2015.
If you would like to join, kindly sign up. If you know someone who would benefit
from this process, kindly encourage them.
If you have any questions, please email:
