This year’s Annual Catholic Appeal Theme challenges us to be the light of the world by sharing our faith, commitment and generosity. This year, our theme is based on the recent encyclical by Pope Francis, Lumen Fidel: The Light of Faith. As stewards of God’s good gifts, we are called to bring the light of faith by means of our time, talent, and treasure as a blessing to the world around us. The 2014 ACA theme is: WHEN WE GIVE WE SHARE THE LIGHT OF FAITH. Jesus said to his disciples: “You are the light of the world.” The Annual Catholic Appeal supports the Diocese and its parishes in three ways: 1. Provides an enhanced source of funding in support of people through ministries, programs, and services throughout our community. 2. Offers parishioners a chance to directly provide for the work of the Church. 3. Grants each parish an annual opportunity to raise funds for local initiatives and projects. Please support this appeal for the good of our parish and Diocese. You will be rewarded by God, He sees all.

ALL BAPTISMS / BAUTISMOS THIRD SATURDAY /TRES SABADO BAPTISM SCHEDULE—ENGLISH TUESDAYCLASS/7:30PM SUNDAY CEREMONY 2:PM NOV 11, 2014 DEC 16, 2014 NOV 15, 2014 DEC 20, 2014 HORARIO de BAUTISMOS—ESPANOL MIERCOLES/CHARLA 7:00PM 1:PM 12 A NOV 2014 17 A DEC 2014 SABADO/BAUTISMO 15 A NOV 2014 20 A DEC 2014 Reflecting on God’s Word We are not all we would like to be. We know that only too well. The seven capital sins are not just fantasies. We readily embody them: anger and pride and greed and lust and gluttony and envy and laziness. Our spirits bear the mark of Cain. It’s also true that we often want others to be what we ourselves cannot be, and so we look to the Church, except that the Church is us, and if we are sinful, so too is the Church. Our history as a community of believers says it all too clearly. We waged war with the Crusades. We reveled in the power of ruling over civil states. We became intolerant during the Inquisition. We were a storehouse of wealth. And most recently we were too proud to admit the sexual abuses taking place in our midst. If we are the dwelling place of God, a temple made of living stones, then we are also in need of being swept clean just as Jesus once cleansed the temple in his day. We come to recognize that need. The good news is that the Church is being swept clean, in every age, because sin slips through in every age. And so the Church, that living temple, is constantly being made new, painful as it may be. It would be wonderful if the Church were all that the gospel professes. The fact that it is not may be disappointing, but God’s reign has not yet arrived—at least not fully. In the meantime, the Lord Jesus continues to cleanse us and renew us. And the marvel is that the river that flows from that temple of living stones is still bringing life to all it touches—in spite of our sinfulness.

CENÁCULOS SE REUNEN EL CUARTO DOMINGO DEL MES, SALON #7, “FAMILIA QUE REZA UNIDA, PERMANECE UNIDA”. CONTACTAR A DIANA FERNANDEZ, PARA REZAR EL ROSARIO EN CASAS.

"Oh Sangre y Agua, que brotaste del Corazón de Jesús como una Fuente de Misericordia para nosotros, en Vos confío.” Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios No somos lo que quisiéramos ser. Eso lo sabemos muy bien. Los siete pecados capitales no son fantasías. Nosotros los personificamos bien: ira y soberbia, avaricia y lujuria, gula, envidia y pereza. Nuestro espíritu lleva consigo la marca de Caín. También es cierto que a menudo queremos que los demás sean como nosotros no podemos ser y por eso buscamos a la Iglesia como guía; pero la Iglesia somos nosotros y si nosotros somos pecadores también la Iglesia lo es. Nuestra historia como comunidad de creyentes lo dice todo y muy claramente. Libramos una guerra contra las Cruzadas. Nos rebelamos para alcanzar el poder gubernamental y civil. Nos volvimos intolerables durante la Inquisición. Fuimos un almacén de riquezas. Y más recientemente fuimos demasiado arrogantes para admitir los abusos sexuales que estaban ocurriendo en medio nuestro. Si somos el templo de Dios, un templo hecho de piedras vivas, entonces también necesitamos que se nos limpie igual que Jesús una vez limpió el templo de su época. Nosotros reconocemos esta necesidad. Lo bueno es que la Iglesia también se limpia en cada generación, porque el pecado se cuela en todas las épocas. Y así también la Iglesia, ese templo vivo, se va haciendo nueva constantemente, aunque el proceso sea doloroso. Sería maravilloso si la Iglesia fuera todo lo que profesa el Evangelio. El hecho de que no sea así, puede desilusionar, pero el reino de Dios no ha llegado todavía, no del todo. Mientras tanto el Señor Jesús continúa limpiándonos y renovándonos. Y lo maravilloso es que el río que fluye de ese templo de piedras vivas todavía da vida a todo lo que toca, a pesar de nuestro pecado. QUINCEAÑERA Favor de llamar a la oficina al 718-361-1884 ext 14 para mas información o para hacer una cita de lunes a viernes.
