LIVE THE LITURGY Humility is often misunderstood as feeling inferior about ourselves and carrying around feelings of unworthiness. For many, humility is not considered a strength of char-acter but a negative attribute and sign of weakness. Conversely, in fact, authentic humility is found in the person who is firmly grounded in reality, able to be hon-est with him or herself, and in right relationship with oth-ers and God. A humble person understands his or her place in life and who they are. While placing themselves at the service of others, they are comfortable in their own skin and able to step aside and let others go first. Knowing our proper place in life, offering appropriate respect, and looking to the needs of others are things that will enhance our lives and the lives of our brothers and sisters. Are you humble?

GOSPEL MEDITATION Can you imagine if Jesus threw a party? From the wedding feast at Cana, we know he wouldn’t let the wine run out. From this Sunday’s Gospel, we know there would be quite a lively array of guests! We also knew who the most important people would be — everyone. Jesus advises throwing a party that turns everything upside down. Everyone should assume they’re the least important attendee, and the guest list shouldn’t include the neighborhood “who’s who.” Rather, we should go looking for “the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind” and hope they RSVP. Jesus describes a particular posture towards our own hospitality. Parties are about the other people. “Do not recline at table in the place of honor.” How often can small talk become a one-upmanship of job promotions, home renovations, and our children’s achievements? We’ve all been to parties where being the most interesting guest is the highest achievement. Yet so often, we know the best party guests are the ones who listen well to our stories. Whether we are guests or hosts, we have the opportunity to look on others with humility and awe. Parties are opportunities to serve. Jesus advises us to be careful who we invite “in case they might invite you back and you have repayment.” Does Jesus literally mean we shouldn’t invite our friends over? Of course not! But he does invite us to special consideration when we offer hospitality. When we invite people over to our home, what motivates us? Who we want to spend time with? Who we’d like to impress? These ultimately have only ourselves in mind. How about asking: Who could use some extra care right now? Who could benefit from a fun evening out? In other words, who can I serve?

Like any relationship, a person’s relationship with God develops, and it can’t be rushed. Everyone has their own pace and their own particular needs and questions. Most people end up truly
appreciating the time they had to learn, pray, and get to know other people through the RCIA process. People often wish it could have lasted longer!

BUILDING A LEGACY: ON THE ROCK
The Finance/Business Office has an opportunity for additional collection counter. If you enjoy working with other parishioners, can use an add-ing machine, and are good with numbers, please contact
the Business Office. This opportunity requires about 2 hours every other week. It’s a great oppor-tunity to help our parish with the temporal goods of the church. God Bless all of our volunteers, without them we would not be able to function as a parish.
Dear Jesus, Thank you for the gift of learning! I want to grow closer to you in everything I do at school. In math and science, help
me to see your beautiful plan in the world. Help me to discover new stories and values as I read and write. In arts and music, help me to be creative. In sports, help me to
treat my teammates and my opponents fairly. Help me to learn new skills in technology. Jesus, you are the perfect teacher. Help me to listen with open ears, an
open heart, and an open mind to all my teachers at school. Help me to treat my classmates with care, kindness, and respect. Thank you, Jesus, for school!
Amen.

SAN FELIPE DE JESUS
Un vistazo a San Felipe esta semana...
MEDITACION DEL EVANGELIO- ALENTAR UN ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LAS ESCRITURAS
Hoy, Jesús, nos enseña como son las reglas de los buenos modales y la buena educación. Entonces y ahora, el Evangelio nos reta a no perder las reglas
elementales de la buena educación que deben llevar a una reflexión profunda sobre la humildad y la sencillez. Todo lo que estorba para practicar el Evangelio debe
ser sacado del entorno. La ambición, el orgullo, la falsedad y falta de juicio no entran en el plan de Dios y su Reino. ¿Quiénes son ahora los invitados más impor-tantes a la mesa? ¿Es Jesús invitado de honor en mi
vida? Reflexionemos durante la semana en las palabras del Evangelio: "Porque el que se ensalza será humillado y el que se humilla será ensalzado." (Lucas 14:11) Pala-bras de alegría y esperanza. Por consiguiente: ¡Hay que
comenzar a practicar la sencillez de corazón!
