We Are A Stewardship Parish...
'ƌŽǁŝŶŐ ŝŶ &ĂŝƚŚ dŽŐĞƚŚĞƌ
The essential work of the Holy Spirit is to "enable us to share in the very life of God himself"
(Kreeft, The Holy Spirit: 7). There are many ways the Holy Spirit works to achieve this.
Pope Francis has suggested three ways we will consider: newness, harmony, and mission.
This week we will consider newness and harmony.
When the Holy Spirit comes to us, we are changed if we allow the Spirit to work within us.
We have already seen how the disciples were transformed at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit
came upon them. St. Cyril of Alexandria observes that the Holy Spirit "transforms them that
they begin to live a completely new kind of life" (Cyril of Alexandria, LOH vol 2: 991). Pope
Francis gives us insight into what this new kind of life is. "The Holy Spirit teaches us to see with the eyes of Christ, to live
life as Christ lived, to understand life as Christ understood it" " (Francis, General Audience, May 8, 2013).
Allowing the Holy Spirit to work within us, changing and transforming us is not easy because we do not always like newness as Pope Francis observes. "Newness always makes us a bit fearful, because we feel more secure if we have everything under control, if we are the ones who build, programme and plan our lives in accordance with our own ideas, our
own comfort, our own preferences. This is also the case when it comes to God. Often we follow him, we accept him, but
only up to a certain point. It is hard to abandon ourselves to him with complete trust, allowing the Holy Spirit to be the soul
and guide of our lives in our every decision. We fear that God may force us to strike out on new paths and leave behind
our all too narrow, closed and selfish horizons in order to become open to his own" (Francis, Homily: Solemnity of Pentecost. May 19, 2013).
The work of the Holy Sprit brings harmony. Each of us is different and we have different gifts but we are called to use
them to work together in harmony and not in competition with one another. We could compare the Holy Spirit to the conductor of an orchestra who enables each different musician and instrument to work together in harmony to produce a
beautiful symphony.
As Pope Francis points out: "Only the Spirit can awaken diversity, plurality and multiplicity, while at the same time building unity. Here too, when we are the ones who try to create diversity and close ourselves up in what makes us different
and other, we bring division. When we are the ones who want to build unity in accordance with our human plans, we end
up creating uniformity, standardization. But if instead we let ourselves be guided by the Spirit, richness, variety and diversity never become a source of conflict, because he impels us to experience variety within the communion of the
Church .So let us ask ourselves: Am I open to the harmony of the Holy Spirit, overcoming every form of exclusivity?"
(Francis, Homily: Solemnity of Pentecost. May 19, 2013).
-Kevin J. Fritz
“If you help someone to the top of the mountain,
you reach the peak also.”
Stewardship Reflection on This Sunday’s Readings
As indicated many times previously in these reflections, it is difficult to reflect comprehensively on the
totality of the readings for a particular Sunday, and it is often more effective to focus our thoughts on
something smaller, although significant. Saint Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, our second reading,
offers one of those insights.
Most scholars believe that the letter to the people of Thessalonica, Greece (the Thessalonians) was
perhaps the first of the many letters Paul wrote. Note that in his opening greeting, Paul makes it from
not just himself, but from Silvanus and Timothy as well. As successful as Paul was as an evangelist
and an apostle, he recognized early on that it was not something he could do or accomplish alone.
In addition to God’s help, St. Paul gathered a team around him, which he used and empowered in
many ways. Sometimes each of us may think we are more efficient operating alone. Stewardship on the other hand calls
us to see that we are part of a community, and that community can accomplish more as a group than any one of us can
individually. That is the strength of community stewardship, a faith-filled people working hand in hand to build the Kingdom of God. There is a Tibetan proverb which states, “If you help someone to the top of the mountain, you reach the peak
also.”

A Stewardship Prayer
Dear Lord:
I pray that You give me the wisdom to
guide me on this faith journey of stewardship.
Help me to understand that
everything I have is a gift from You.
Open up my heart and my mind so that
I may use these marvelous gifts
to give back to You here on Earth.
I pray Lord that You welcome me
into Your kingdom at the end of my life and
that You are pleased with what
I have done with all Your gifts. Amen

8th Annual Fund Drive for Our Heroes at the VA Hospital
Sisters and Brothers of St. Mark, the Knights of Columbus will be conducting its Eighth Annual Veteran's Day drive for our warriors being treated at the James A. Haley Hospital. We wish to thank
you again for the overwhelming response to last year's efforts, which resulted in the
purchase of computers and printers for our vets.
As you know, there were about 200,000 injured men and women who returned form the war zone
and 80,000 are being treated, for some form of traumatic brain injury, which is taking place at
Haley Hospital. The drive this year is again for items the government will not purchase. Today's
iPhone and iPad technology is being used in therapy by using fingers and eyes for response and
recognition. The problem we have is that these items are not covered by our gov’t for therapy.
We are here again asking you to help us purchase these IPADS & IPHONES SO OUR VETS CAN HAVE EVERY
POSSIBLE MEANS TO RECOVERY. The "VETERANS OF ST. MARK" will be accepting your donations on Nov 8th &

101 things you should know about our Faith
Diácono José Moronta
[email protected]
101 cosas que debes conocer de nuestra Fe
How can we prove that Jesus Christ really existed?
We have the gospels as a proof of Jesus’ existence and our faith
does the rest. However, there are people who don’t have the gift of
faith and need some proofs about the existence of Jesus Christ, 20
centuries ago.
Many scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed, and most
biblical scholars and classical historians see the theories of his
non-existence as effectively refuted although there is no physical or
archeological evidence for Jesus, and all the sources we have are
documentary. The sources for the historical Jesus are mainly Christian writings, such as the gospels and the letters of the apostles.
In conjunction with Biblical sources, three mentions of Jesus in
non-Christian sources have been used in the historical analyses of
the existence of Jesus. These are two passages in the writings of the
Jewish historian Josephus, and one from the Roman historian Tacitus. Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, written around 93–94 AD,
includes two references to the biblical Jesus Christ in Books 18 and
20. Roman historian Tacitus referred to Christus and his execution
by Pontius Pilate in his Annals. The very negative tone of Tacitus'
comments on Christians make the passage extremely unlikely to
have been forged by a Christian scribe. The Tacitus reference is now
widely accepted as an independent confirmation of Christ's crucifixion.
A possible extraordinary discovery about Jesus’ life
An Italian expert studying a first century document written by the
Roman historian Marcus Velleius Paterculus that was recently discovered in the archives of the Vatican, found what is presumed to be
the first eyewitness account ever recorded of a miracle of Jesus
Christ. The author describes a scene that he allegedly witnessed, in
¿Cómo se podría demostrar que Jesucristo verdaderamente
existió?
Los cristianos tenemos los evangelios como evidencia de la existencia
de Jesucristo y nuestra fe hace el resto. Sin embargo, todavía hay gente
que duda que Jesucristo verdaderamente existiera y haber vivido 20
siglos atrás.
Muchos académicos sobre historia antigua concuerdan en que Cristo
existió y los académicos biblistas e historiadores piensan que las
objeciones a la existencia de Cristo han sido suficientemente refutadas,
aunque no existan evidencias arqueológicas o físicas y que todas las
evidencias se limitan a documentos escritos, como los evangelios y
epístolas de los apóstoles.
En adición a las Fuentes bíblicas se tienen al menos tres referencias a
Cristo en literatura no cristiana. Se trata de dos pasajes del historiador
judío Josephus y uno del historiador romano Tácito. El libro de las
Antigüedades Judías, de Josephus fue escrito entre los años 93 y 94 e
incluye dos menciones a Jesucristo en los libros 18 y 20
respectivamente. Por su parte Tácito comenta en su obra de Los Anales
la ejecución de ‘Christus’ por Poncio Pilato. No se podría suponer una
manipulación de este texto por los cristianos dado el lenguaje grosero
usado por el autor para referirse a Jesucristo. Esta obra es reconocida
dentro y fuera de la Iglesia como un documento válido desde el punto de
vista histórico para confirmar la crucifixión de Jesucristo.
Un descubrimiento extraordinario sobre la vida de Jesús.
Un experto historiador italiano ha descubierto en los archivos del
Vaticano un documento del siglo I escrito por un historiador romano de
nombre Velleius Paterculus que podría causar revuelo por ser la primera
vez que se tiene un relato de un testigo ocular de un milagro de
Jesucristo. El autor del texto dice que puedo ver cómo un ‘profeta y
resuscitated a stillborn boy and handed him back to his mother.
Historian and archivist Ignazio Perrucci, was hired by the Vatican
authorities in 2012, to sort, analyze and classify some 6,000 ancient
documents that had been uncovered in the gigantic archive vaults.
He was already very excited when he noticed that the author of the
text was the famous Roman historian Velleius, but he was completely stunned when he realized the nature of the content.
What exactly does this document shows?
The text as a whole is a narrative of the author’s return journey from
Parthia to Rome that occurred in 31 AD, recorded in a highly rhetorical style of four sheets of parchment. He describes many different
episodes taking place during his trip, like a violent sandstorm in
Mesopotamia and visit to a temple in Melitta (modern day Mdina, in
Malta). The part of the text that really caught M. Perrucci’s attention
is an episode taking place in the city of Sebaste. The author first
describes the arrival of a great leader in the town with a group of
disciples and followers, causing many of the lower class people from
neighboring villages to gather around them. According to Velleius,
nacido muerto y se lo entregó a su madre.
Este historiador, Ignazio Perruci fue contratado por las autoridades del
Vaticano en el año 2012 para revisar y clasificar unos seis mil
documentos que fueron liberados de las bóvedas de seguridad de la
Santa Sede. El historiador verdaderamente se sorprendió del fantástico
hallazgo al descubrir el la firma del famoso autor romano de la
antigüedad Velleius, y quedo literalmente pasmado al comprobar el
contenido del texto que ha permanecido por siglos en esos archivos
históricos de la Iglesia.
¿Qué es exactamente lo que dice el documento recién descubierto?
El texto es un trabajo que narra un viaje de regreso del autor desde
Partia hasta Roma que ocurrió en el año 31, escrito con un estilo de
elevada retórica en cuatro pergaminos. El describe muchos episodios
que ocurrieron durante ese viaje, como por ejemplo una violenta
tormenta de arena en Mesopotamia y la visita a un templo en Melitta (en
Malta).
La parte que cautivó la atención de Perruci es un episodio que ocurrió
en la ciudad de Sebaste. El autor primero describe la llegada de un gran
líder al pueblo con un grupo de discípulos y seguidores, provocando que
gente de los estratos bajos de la población de las villas circundantes una
translation of Jesus’ Hebrew name, Yeshua haNotzri.
Upon entering town, Jesus would have visited the house of a woman
named Elisheba, who had just given birth to a stillborn child. Jesus
picked up the dead child and uttered a prayer in Aramaic to the
heavens, and to the crowd’s surprise and amazement, the baby
came back to life almost immediately, crying and squirming like a
healthy newborn.
Would this be an acceptable evidence?
Many tests and analysis have been realized over the last weeks to
determine the authenticity of the manuscript. The composition of the
parchment and ink, the literary style and handwriting have all been
carefully scrutinized and are said to be entirely legitimate. They say
that dating analysis also revealed that the sheepskin parchment on
which the text is written, does indeed date from the 1st century of this
era, more precisely from between 20-45 AD.This new text from an
author known for his reliability, might bring a brand new perspective
on the life of the historical character that is Jesus of Nazareth. It
comes to confirm the Gospels on the facts that he was known for
accomplishing miracles and that his sheer presence in a town was
enough to attract crowds of people.
Nazarenus, una traducción Greco-latina del nombre hebreo Yeshua
haNotzri.
Al entrar al pueblo Jesús se dirigió a la casa de una mujer llamada
Elisheba que acababa de dar a luz a un niño sin vida. Jesús tomo el
cuerpecito del bebé, pronunció una oración a los cielos en lengua
aramea y para sorpresa y asombro de los presentes el niño dio signos
de vida de inmediato, llorando y pataleando como un bebé saludable.
¿Se puede considerar esta evidencia como aceptable?
Se han realizado pruebas y ensayos en las recientes semanas para
determinar la autenticidad del manuscrito. Se ha hecho un escrutinio
muy riguroso del material del pergamino, de la tinta utilizada, del estilo
literario y la caligrafía, y hasta ahora todo apunta a la legitimidad del
documento descubierto por Perruci. Los expertos dicen que el
pergamino, hecho de piel de oveja, da una edad que lo ubica entre los
años 20 y 45 de nuestra era.
Este nuevo texto, de un autor reconocido por su seriedad podría aportar
un sólido argumento y una nueva perspectiva sobre la vida del
personaje histórico que es Jesús de Nazaret. También confirmaría la
narrativa de los evangelios relativa a los milagros de Jesucristo y que su
sola presencia ya era suficiente para convocar multitudes a su alrededor.

XXIX Domingo Ordinario
Mateo 22, 15-21
La pregunta hecha a Jesús, con intención
de ponerle en un compromiso, acerca del
pago de impuestos a los conquistadores
romanos de su patria, Palestina, le dio al
Señor la oportunidad de dar una respuesta
que se ha convertido en un verdadero
modelo de comportamiento para la actividad del cristiano en la sociedad, en la política, en
los negocios, en el mundo en general. “Dad a Dios lo que es de Dios y al César lo que es
del César”, dijo Cristo. O, lo que es lo mismo, Dios tiene que estar por encima de todo y
por encima de todo deben estar las normas morales, pero Dios no te va a decir cómo se
construye una casa, se cura una enfermedad, se cocina una comida o se administra un
banco.
Ahora bien, muchos, quizá por el riesgo a equivocarse, optan por retirarse del mundo, por
no meterse en problemas, por no complicarse la vida. Siguen así el camino de la
indiferencia y ese es, precisamente, el menos cristiano y el más peligroso. Dios por
encima de todo y sirviendo de referencia a todo, pero luego somos nosotros los que, con
la luz y la fuerza de Dios, debemos meternos en el mundo para transformar el mundo,
para mejorar el mundo, para ser la sal y la levadura que lo hacen más habitable, más
humano, más divino. No huyas de los problemas: pídele a Dios ayuda y afróntalos. Si
empiezas a huir, nunca dejarás de hacerlo. La vida se te convertirá en una permanente
huida, que en el fondo será una huida de ti mismo.
Propósito: Cuando haya algún problema que seas capaz de resolver, al menos en parte,
intenta solucionarlo, aunque te compliques un poco la vida, con ayuda de Dios.
