That’s what Isaiah tells us today. God is putting together a huge party for “all peoples,” to “wipe away / the tears from every face” (Isaiah 25:8). And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God, he says, “may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son” (Matthew 22:2). When the guests didn’t come, the king had his servants go out “into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find” (Matthew 22:9). We are called to deliver that invitation. One of the themes woven into today’s liturgy is that of divine generosity. Asleep to reality, people often think they have “earned” what they have. In our better moments, though, we know that all our gifts—even the spiritual gifts—come through God’s generosity. Our vocation is to invite people, to remind them the tickets aren’t for sale. We can only show up and say thank you. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Today’s Readings First Reading — On this mountain the LORD will make for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines (Isaiah 25:6-10a). Psalm — I shall live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life (Psalm 23). Second Reading — God will supply whatever you need (Philippians 4:12-14, 19-20).

As described by Pope John Paul II, World Mission Sunday is “an important day in the life of the Church because it teaches how to give: as an offering made to God, in the Eucharistic celebration and for all the missions of the world” (see Redemptoris Missio 81). Pope John Paul II has also spoken of the Propagation of the Faith’s General Fund of support, calling this a “central fund of solidarity.” In a message delivered recently, Pope Francis said: “The offerings that will be collected [on World Mission Sunday] are destined for a common fund of solidarity distributed, in the Pope’s name, by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith among the missions and missionaries of the entire world.” Every year the needs of the Catholic Church in the Missions grow - as new dioceses are formed, as new seminaries are opened because of the growing number of young men hearing Christ’s call to follow Him as priests, as areas devastated by war or natural disaster are rebuilt, and as other areas, long suppressed, are opening up to hear the message of Christ and His Church. That is why the involvement and commitment of Catholics from around the world is so urgently needed. Offerings from Catholics in the United States, on World Mission Sunday and throughout the year, are combined with offerings to the Propagation of the Faith worldwide. Your ongoing support of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith is vital to the missionaries serving in 1,150 dioceses throughout Asia, Africa, parts of Latin America and Europe, and on the Islands of the Pacific. Your generosity makes it possible for local priests, religious, and catechists to reach out to communities, families and children in desperate need, bringing the light of Christ to the darkest of circumstances. These needs are matched with the funds gathered in each year. The world’s national directors of the Propagation of the Faith vote on these requests, matching the funds available with the greatest needs. These funds are then distributed, in their entirety, to mission dioceses throughout the world. For this year’s World Mission Sunday celebration, we are focusing on the words from St. Matthew’s Gospel, “I Will Build My Church” (Matthew 16:18), highlighting the outreach of local churches through priests, religious and laity among the poor and marginalized half a world away. World Mission Sunday, organized by the Propagation of the Faith, is a day set aside for Catholics worldwide to recommit themselves to the Church’s missionary activity through prayer and sacrifice. In 2014, World Mission Sunday will be celebrated this year on October 19th.

Religious Education strengthens the child’s relationship with Christ. The Religious Education Program here at St. Bartholomew Parish counts with an enrollment of approximately 300 students on a yearly bases ranging from Pk 4 through 12th grade. This program also serves adults through the RCIA programs in the diverse languages. In addition, we have a volunteer staff of 45 adults and teens working as catechists and assistants in the classrooms. We will train and assist those who would like to help in this ministry. Please call Mercedes Brown at the rectory.

The students have been and will continue learning about the Seven Themes of Catholic Social Justice Issues. The issue we are addressing right now is the Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers. As you may be aware, many immigrants are currently the ones who are harvesting crops, tending the grounds and doing other forms of farm work. These men, women and children are out in extreme weather and exposed to harmful chemicals that are found in the pesticides used on these farms. There is a great need to provide them with proper attire to protect them from these harmful chemicals. We have teamed up with our parish groups and St. Ann’s Mission to address this need. We are collecting long sleeve shirts in all sizes for men, women and children. This collection will continue until the end of the month. Please participate and support this great cause that is affecting the lives of many. “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.” Proverbs 19:17 Where quality Catholic Education can make a difference: Regular Office Hours Monday - Friday 7:30 AM - 3:30 PM Refer a new stud ent and earn $200 Religious and moral formation Florida Catholic Conference (FCC) re-accredited in 2013 Dedicated, caring faculty certified by State of Florida “Accelerated Reader” *Sibling s not in cluded “Accelerated Math” , paid t uition r equired Technology integrated curriculum .

C’est ce qu’Ésaïe nous dit aujourd’hui. “Le Seigneur essuiera les larmes sur tous les visages, et par toute la terre il effacera l’humiliation de son peuple ; c’est lui qui l’a promis.” (Ésaïe 25:8). Et que nous dit Jésus? Le règne de Dieu, dit-il, “peut être comparé à un roi qui célèbre les noces de son fils.” (Matthieu 22:2). Lorsque les invités ne sont pas venus, le roi fit appeler ses serviteurs et leur dit: “Allez donc dans les carrefours et invitez aux noces tous ceux que vous trouverez.” (Matthieu 22:9). Nous sommes aussi appelés à partager cette invitation. L’un des thèmes tissé dans la liturgie d’aujourd’hui est la générosité divine. Endormi à la réalité, les gens pensent souvent qu’ils ont “gagné” ce qu’ils ont. Dans nos meilleurs moments, même si nous savons que tous nos cadeaux, même les dons spirituels de Dieu nout viennent grâce à sa générosité. Notre vocation est d’inviter les gens, et leur rappeler que les billets ne sont pas en vente. Nous ne pouvons que nous présenter et dire merci. Et mon Dieu subviendra magnifiquement à tous vos besoins. (Ph 4, 12-14.19-20) LECTURES DU JOUR LECTURES DE LA SEMAINE 1ère Lecture — Le Seigneur, Dieu de l’univers, préparera pour tous les peuples, sur sa montagne, un festin de viandes succulentes et de vins décantés. (Is 25: 6-9) Psaume — Près de toi, Seigneur, sans fin nous vivrons. Psaume 22: 1-6 2ème Lecture — Et mon Dieu subviendra magnifiquement à tous vos besoins. (Ph 4, 12-14.19-20) Evangile — ‘Voilà: j’ai préparé mon festin. Tout est prêt. Venez à la fête!’ (Mt 22, 1-14) Lundi: Mardi: Mercredi: Jeudi: Vendredi: Samedi: Dimanche: “Katolik...Poukisa?” Nou remèsye tout moun ki remèt fòm enskripsyon yo deja.

Esto es lo que Isaías nos dice hoy. Dios está organizando una inmensa fiesta para “todos los pueblos”, para “enjugar las lágrimas de todos los rostros”. ¿Y qué es lo que Jesús nos dice? “El reino de Dios”, él dice, es como “lo que le sucedió a un rey que celebró las bodas de su hijo” (Mateo 22:2). Cuando los invitados no acudieron, el rey mandó a sus sirvientes a que fueran “a las esquinas de las calles y conviden a la boda a todos los que encuentren” (Mateo 22:9). Nosotros somos llamados a distribuir esta invitación. Uno de los temas entrelazado con la liturgia de hoy es el referente a la generosidad divina. Ausente de la realidad, la gente a menudo asume que ha “ganado” lo que tiene. En nuestros mejores momentos, sin embargo, somos conscientes de que todos nuestros dones, incluyendo los espirituales, provienen de la generosidad de Dios. Nuestra misión es invitar a la gente, recordarles que las entradas no están a la venta. Lo único que podemos hacer es acudir y dar las gracias. Copyright © J. S.

Hay que curarle las heridas. Entonces podemos hablar de todo lo demás. Sanar las heridas, sanar las heridas. … Y hay que empezar desde cero”. La herida más profunda en la vida moderna es la herida causada por la pérdida de Dios. De esta herida vienen todas las demás heridas que experimentamos, inclusive las cuestiones morales graves y la confusión espiritual que vemos en todas partes. Entonces, el reto para la Iglesia es sanar estas heridas. Y como bien sabemos, sólo Jesús puede sanar verdaderamente. Así que nuestra prioridad en la Iglesia y en todo lo que hacemos debe ser Jesucristo. Tenemos que anunciarle a nuestros prójimos la buena noticia de que Jesús los ha salvado. Tenemos que mostrarles, con el testimonio gozoso de nuestras propias vidas, lo que significa la salvación: la hermosura de vivir como hijos de Dios en su familia, que es la Iglesia. Una vez que las personas conozcan a Jesús, una vez que conozcan su amor y su ternura hacia ellas, podrán apreciar las hermosas enseñanzas de la Iglesia acerca de la moralidad y el significado de la vida. Esta es la visión de nuestro Papa acerca de la nueva evangelización de la cultura. @ copyright 2014 - Mons. José Gomez, Arzobispo de Los Angeles y el distribuidor (ACI Prensa)
