A bouquet of flowers was placed by the Blessed
Mother in thanksgiving for good health and a Happy
Birthday for Christina Rodriguez.
All are welcome to offer flowers for the weekend on
the altar in honor of the living or in memory of the
deceased. The suggested donation is $100.
From Fr. Davy’s Desk:
The readings of this weekend explain to us about the purpose of intellectual and spiritual formation.
We read from the Book of Proverbs, “Wisdom has built her house…” Wisdom plays a major role in
the personality formation. In the modern world it is not easy to survive successfully without wisdom.
Parents and teachers commit themselves to make sure that the children get quality education.
The letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians reminds us; “Brothers and sisters, watch carefully how you
live, not as foolish persons but as wise, because the days are evil… try to understand the will of
God.” It is very important to learn how to live using our wisdom properly. Albert Einstein using his
wisdom spent a lot of time doing research on physics and invented the power of atom. He never
thought that his invention will lead to a nuclear bomb disaster.
.
The Jews of Jesus’ time were well educated but as we hear from the Gospel they quarreled themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” They had no wisdom to understand the
spiritual meaning of Jesus’ words “Flesh and blood.” Here is the need of spiritual or religious formation. We may be genius but may be ignorant to understand the mystery of life then life becomes misery. As we begin the preparations for C.C.D program, I strongly encourage all parents and students
to consider our Religious formation as precious part of the integral formation of our members.
Fr. Kavungal Davy, CMI
Mensaje del Padre Davy:
Las lecturas de este fin de semana nos explican sobre el propósito de la formación intelectual y espiritual. Leemos en el libro de los Proverbios: "La sabiduría edificó su casa ..." La sabiduría es importante en la formación de la personalidad. En el mundo moderno, no es fácil para sobrevivir con
éxito sin sabiduría. Los padres y los maestros se comprometen a asegurarse de que los niños reciban una educación de calidad.
La carta de San Pablo a los Efesios nos recuerda; "Hermanos y hermanas, observan detenidamente cómo se vive, no como personas insensatas sino como sabios, porque los días son malos... tratan de entender la voluntad de Dios." Es muy importante aprender a vivir usando nuestra sabiduría
correctamente. Albert Einstein utilizando su sabiduría pasó mucho tiempo a la investigación en la
ciencia e inventó el poder del átomo. Nunca pensó que su invención dará lugar a un desastre bomba nuclear.
Los judíos del tiempo de Jesús estaban bien educados. Pero peleado sí, diciendo: "¿Cómo puede
éste darnos a comer su carne?" Ellos no tenían la sabiduría para entender el significado espiritual
de las palabras de Jesús "La carne y la sangre." Aquí está la necesidad de la formación espiritual o
religiosa. Podemos ser genio, pero puede ser ignorante para comprender el misterio de la vida, entonces la vida se convierte en miseria. Empezamos los preparativos para el programa de CCD. Yo
animo a todos los padres y los niños a considerar nuestra formación religiosa como parte preciosa
de la formación integral de nuestros miembros.
Padre Kavungal Davy, CMI
