30th Sunday A
Dear parish family,
Our parish family Bazaar is already next Sunday! That day also is All Souls Day. Since it is a church feast day so somehow
it will be a good day for us to have the Bazaar. While the universal church celebrates the spiritual bond that connects us to
our departed brethren, we in a particular way celebrate our bonding as alive and active parish community. It’s our day of
fellowship and to have a family fun under the Fall Sun. Please invite all your family and friends to have wonderful time with
us.
You still have a lot of time to sell the raffle tickets, remember it is the lifeblood of our Bazaar. We still have a lot of
them. Who knows you can be a winner and enjoy the Cruise trip! We spend a little money for family fun; give time and
energy for parish bonding and fellowships then in the end our church benefits the proceeds to lessen our parish debt. The
bottom line, everybody wins nobody loses. Let’s all work hard to make the Bazaar a great success and pray that the weather
cooperates.
This last Sunday of October, is Priesthood Sunday. It is a special day set aside to honor the priesthood in the United
States. It is a day to reflect upon and affirm the role of the priesthood in the life of the Church as a central one. Each priest is
different; personalities differ from person to person. But there is only One and the Same Priesthood that all priests share, the
Priesthood of Jesus Christ. There is only one Christ who says, “This is my Body… This is my Blood… Do this in memory of
ME.” It is this “priesthood” that is honored.
Two words to sum up its significance why we celebrate Priesthood Sunday; necessity and scarcity. There is a
necessity of the priesthood because of the centrality of the Eucharist in our faith-life as Catholics. Without priests there is no
one to celebrate the Eucharist. The scarcity of priests is now becoming more alarming particularly here in the USA, that’s
why the Church set aside this Sunday to urge the faithful pray for vocations to the priesthood and give moral support to
priests, who as humans, are also are burdened and struggle as anybody else with human imperfections.
This Sunday’s gospel reminds us of the commandments to love God with all one’s heart to love one’s neighbor as
oneself which are the heart and soul of Christian morality…. These commands point out to the true path of human
fulfillment and happiness. Only in active love God and neighbor makes the fullness of community happen. Why still we
fail? The reasons might be very complex yet we cannot deny the fact that the way we “love” is way out of what “love”
really is in God’s mind. Many learn to love things and use people, instead of loving people and use things. The worst
comes when one learns to love oneself more than loving God. But we know that when we truly love as we ought
wonderful things happen. Let’s resolve and renew our love to our parish.
Blessings to you and have a good week! Fr. Tony
Querida familia parroquial,
Domingo 30 A
El Bazar de nuestra parroquia ya es el próximo domingo! Ese día también es Día de los Difuntos. Sabemos que es un día de fiesta
de la iglesia por lo que de alguna manera va a ser un buen día para tener el bazar. Mientras que la Iglesia universal celebra el
vínculo espiritual que nos une a nuestros hermanos difuntos, nosotros de una manera particular, disfrutaremos de compartir los
lazos afectivos como una comunidad parroquial viva y activa. Es nuestro día de compañerismo y una
oportunidad para
disfrutar en familia bajo el sol de otoño. Por favor invite a todos sus familiares y amigos y así disfrutar un día maravilloso con
nosotros.
Usted todavía tiene tiempo para vender los boletos de la rifa, recuerda que es el elemento vital de nuestro bazar. Todavía
tenemos muchos tickets. ¿Quién sabe si usted puede ser un ganador y disfrutar del viaje del crucero? Gastaremos un poco de
dinero para la diversión familiar; daremos tiempo y energía compartiendo y disfrutando la unión de la familia parroquial y entonces
al final nuestra iglesia se beneficia de los ingresos monetarios para disminuir nuestra deuda. Como resultado final, todos ganamos,
nadie pierde. Vamos todos a trabajar duro para hacer que el bazar sea un gran éxito y
oremos para que el clima este favorable.
Este último domingo de octubre, es Domingo del Sacerdocio. Es un día especial dedicado a honrar el sacerdocio en los
Estados Unidos. Es un día para reflexionar y afirmar el papel del sacerdocio en la vida central de la Iglesia. Cada sacerdote es
diferente; las personalidades difieren de persona a persona. Pero sólo hay Uno y el mismo Sacerdocio que todos los sacerdotes
comparten, el sacerdocio de Jesucristo. Sólo hay un Cristo que dice: "Este es mi Cuerpo .. Esta es mi Sangre ... Haced esto en
memoria mía." Es este "sacerdocio" que es honrado.
Dos palabras para resumir su significado por qué celebramos Domingo del Sacerdocio; necesidad y la escasez. Hay una
necesidad del sacerdocio debido a la centralidad de la Eucaristía en nuestra vida de fe como católicos. Sin sacerdotes no hay nadie
para celebrar la Eucaristía. La escasez de sacerdotes se está convirtiendo en una situación alarmante sobre todo aquí en los
EE.UU., es por eso que la Iglesia reservó este domingo para orar encarecidamente por las vocaciones sacerdotales y dar apoyo
moral a los sacerdotes, que como seres humanos, están también agobiados y que luchan como cualquier otra persona con las
imperfecciones humnas.
El Evangelio de este domingo nos recuerda los mandamientos de amar a Dios con todo el corazón y amar al prójimo como a
uno mismo, que son la esencia y el alma de la moral cristiana.... Estos comandos señalan el verdadero camino de realización
humana y la felicidad. Sólo en el amor activo de Dios y del prójimo hace que la plenitud de la comunidad suceda. ¿Por qué todavía
no somos capaces? Las razones pueden ser muy complejas pero no podemos negar el hecho de que la forma en que "amamos"
está lejos de lo que significa "amar" en la mente de Dios. Muchos aprenden a amar las cosas y usar a la gente, en vez de amar a la
gente y usar las cosas. Lo peor viene cuando uno aprende a amarse a sí mismo más que amar a Dios. Pero sabemos que cuando
verdaderamente amamos como debemos suceden cosas maravillosas. Decidamos y renovemos nuestro amor a nuestra
congregación.
¡Bendiciones para ti y que tengas una buena semana!
Padre Tony
