EVANGELIZATION REVIVAL
November 15 through 17, 2015 here at St. Paul of the Cross
beginning with 10:00 a.m. Mass on Sunday
and continuing on Monday and Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
Preacher—Rev. Maurice J. Nutt, C.Ss.R., D. Min.
My dear Parishioners,
A s you can see, we are making progress on PHASE ONE of
our construction project. Despite the rain, the new concrete
and structural steel work has been completed and soon, with
everything under roof, the interior work will begin. The
temporary Parish Office is now open on the first floor of the
school during the usual hours of the week. I am well aware
of the inconveniences; we all have to adapt somewhat to the
situation, but it is temporary, and I thank you for your coop-
eration and patience.
This weekend, we will welcome Auxiliary Bishop Zarama as
he comes to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation with
sixteen of our youth. He is a great friend of mine and of the
parish and it is a joy to welcome him back. I have inter-
viewed all of our candidates and have found them well pre-
pared for the sacrament. I know you join me in congratulat-
ing them as they take this big step in their lives as Catholics.
I want to thank in a special way, Merlin Todd, their instruc-
tor, who as usual has done a marvelous job in preparing
them for their Confirmation. He did not spare himself de-
spite the fact that he has recently undergone kidney trans-
plant surgery. For this, I know, God will abundantly bless
him. I know also that you join me in thanking him. I am
also very grateful to Veronica Hodges-Johnson, our Director
of Religious Education for Children and Kristy Crawford,
our Youth Minister, for the great work they have done with
these young parishioners. Our parish is truly blessed to have
members such as these who share so much of themselves in
this valuable ministry of Christian formation.

Octubre 11, 2015 28º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La idea fuerza: La Mirada de Jesús. Mis Hermanos, San Marcos nos presenta hoy una experiencia muy interesante con un mensaje muy profundo de parte de Jesu s. Esto lo vemos, en el encuentro de Jesu s con el hombre rico. Dos puntos podemos sen alar para nuestra reflexio n personal:
El dia logo de Jesu s con el hombre rico
La dura sentencia de Jesu s En cuanto al diálogo vemos en primer lugar la bu squeda del hombre rico en orden a la Vida eterna. Desde muy joven a cumplido los Mandamientos de la Ley de Dios. Jesu s aprueba esa conducta y lo desafí a a dar un paso ma s en el camino de la perfeccio n, al sen alarle lo que falta. “Ve, vende TODO lo que tienes, dalo a los pobres… y sígueme”. Esas palabras de Jesu s, le cayeron ‘como un balde de agua frí a’. Se retira de la presencia de Jesu s muy triste. ¿Por que ?. Por que tenia muchas riquezas… La sentencia de Jesús. Frente a la conducta del hombre rico que se alejo muy triste, viene la sentencia de Jesu s muy fuerte: ¡Que difícil es al rico entrar en la Vida Eterna! Mis Hermanos, es bueno comprender este mensaje. Las riquezas no son males. Son un don de Dios. En ellas debemos ver la gracias de Dios tan generoso. Pero muchos no lo ven así y ese regalo de Dios lejos de hacerlos hombres agradecidos por esos bienes, el efecto es todo lo contrario. Se ciegan con los bienes materiales. En lugar de verlos como un regalo del Creador ‘endiosan esos bienes’ aleja ndose de Dios. Ponen todo su corazo n en lo material, en los placeres de la vida frí vo-la. Su corazo n se ha enceguecido. Por eso, lo que debí a acer-carlo a Dios los aleja. Mis hermanos, que importante es que nos preguntemos cada uno a si mismo ¿Que valor le doy a los bienes materiales? ¿Puedo decir que estoy un poco aferrado a ello? Que el Dios de la Misericordia y el Perdo n nos alcanze la luz suficiente para saber discernir lo que ma s me ayuda a vivir un verdadero encuentro con Cristo aquí y en la eternidad.

Felicidades a los recien bautizados el dí a 11 de Octubre del 2015. Que esta nueva vida que empiezas sea el inicio de grandes logros y bendiciones en tu vida. 17-18 de Octubre 2015 Segunda Colecta Combinada La semana que viene, la segunda colecta sera una combi-nacio n de tres colectas para: Las Misiones Mundiales, La Iglesia en Latinoamérica y la Iglesia en Europa Central y Oriental. Nuestra ofrenda apoyara el trabajo y testimonio de aquellos quienes dan todo por el Sen or y su Evangelio – los sacerdotes locales, religiosos, y catequistas laicos quienes proveen servicio diario a los pobres y sufrientes. Por favor sea generoso porque esta colecta sera dividida entre tres necesidades importantes.
