Pastor’s Corner
Gree ngs, Every Sunday, we come together as one community to partake of the Lord’s Supper. Many of us par cipate in various ministries within the Mass, such as Presiders, Deacons, Lectors, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion, Altar Servers, Ushers, choir members, and so on. However, there are brothers and sisters that cannot join us every Sunday since they are homebound at different places like houses, nursery homes, hospitals and even prisons. How can we reach out to them? I would like to extend an invita on to all of you to be part of the Homebound Ministry. This is a very special call, so pray about it and find out if God is calling you to serve a part of our community that cannot be with us to partake of the Eucharist. Cada Domingo nos reunimos como una sola comunidad para par cipar de la Cena del Señor. Muchos de nosotros par cipamos en varios ministerios en la Misa, ya sea como Sacerdotes, Diáconos, lectores, Ministros Extraordinarios de la Comunión, servidores del altar, ujieres, miembros del coro, y más. Sin embargo, hay muchos hermanos y hermanas que no pueden estar cada Domingo con nosotros porque están enfermos en diferentes lugares como casas, asilos, hospitales incluso en la cárcel. ¿Cómo podemos servirlos? Quiero extenderte una invitación a todos ustedes para que sean parte del ministerio del cuidado de enfermos. Este es una llamada especial, así que ora para que puedas descubrir si Dios te está llamando para servir esa parte de nuestra comunidad que no puede unirse a nosotros para par cipar de la Eucaris a.

Everyday Stewardship How me flies! This coming year I will have one child graduate from college, one from high school, and one star ng high school. I am exhausted thinking about it. My prayer for all my children is that they take the Holy Spirit with them in all that they do, and call on God to aid them in discerning their future. That is my prayer, but I know that it will not always be easy for them to follow this path. The key will be for each of them, if they choose, to be what God intended them to be, as opposed to trying to be what they want to be. It sounds great to say to a child, "You can be anything you want to be." But at the core of this statement is o en the lie that true happiness lies in fulfilling your will for your life. I have seen many people in my life that reached their goals only to find an emp ness and longing for something more. The reality is that our ul mate fulfillment and joy is becoming the person, not that we wanted to be, but the person that God created us to be. This does not mean that we are stuck in some predes ned situa on. There are many ways we can live out our des ny and fully use the gi s God gave each of us. But it does mean that we have chosen a path based on where God is leading us and informed by an insight of the dis nct gi s with which we have been created. At the end of that path is a life filled with joy, peace, and contentment. This is what I want for my kids. May they find their success by discerning God's will and becoming the wonderful people that God intended. Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS
La corresponsabilidad diaria El empo se pasa más rápido de lo que podemos imaginar. Esta ano que llega, uno de mis hijos se graduará de la universidad otro se graduará de la preparatoria y el úl mo comenzará la preparatoria. Me canso solamente pensando en esto. Mi deseo es que mis hijos tomen al Espíritu Santo con ellos en todas las cosas que hagan y que llamen a Dios para que les ayude discernir su futuro. Sé que esto no será fácil pero la clave es que cada uno de ellos escoja lo que Dios ene para su des no. Decirle a un niño, "Tú puedes lograr cualquier cosa que desees" suena bonito. Pero a raíz de este dicho existe la men ra que la verdadera felicidad cae en sa sfacer su propia voluntad. He conocido a varias personas que han logrado sus metas pero que también terminan muy vacíos. La verdad es que solamente podemos ser verdaderamente felices cuando seguimos y logramos la voluntad que Dios
ene para nuestras vidas. Pero esto no significa que estamos atrapados en una situación predes nada porque hay varias maneras que podemos lograr nuestro des no y a la vez usar los dones que Dios nos ha regalado. Sin embargo sí significa que hemos escogido un camino basado en lo que Dios quiere para nosotros. Al final de ese camino hay una vida llena de alegría, paz y felicidad. Esto es lo que deseo para mis hijos. Que ellos encuentren sus logros a través de su discernimiento de la voluntad de Dios. Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

LIVE THE LITURGY Today we are presented with the parable of the weeds and the wheat. We struggle with the imperfec on that exists in our world. This imperfec on shows itself in human sinfulness with its consequences--disease, natural disasters, suffering, and even death. We wonder why God did not simply make everything perfect right from the beginning so that harmony, peace, and tranquility would be the norm. God builds free will into us and into our world so that we can learn to freely love him. Anything less than this would not provide the freedom to choose to acknowledge and develop our rela onship with our Creator. For now, the weeds and the wheat must coexist. Our faith teaches us that we live and walk in hope that when the harvest comes only the wheat of God's love will remain.
VIVIR LA LITURGIA Hoy se trata de la parábola de la cizaña y el trigo. Cada día es una lucho contra las imperfecciones que existen en este mundo. Estas imperfecciones se muestran en los pecados humanos y las consecuencias de esos pecados. Dios creó el libre albedrio para que libremente lo amemos. Sin el libre albedrio, no tendríamos la libertad de escoger y desarrollar nuestra relación con el creado. Por ahora, la mala hierba y el trigo deben coexis r. Nuestra fe nos enseña que hablamos y caminos en la esperanza del amor de Dios.

16ER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO | 23 DE JULIO DE 2017
16th Sunday in Ordinary Time "The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil." This is not a pre y picture. Jesus shares a parable in today's Gospel that reminds us of a truth we would rather forget: evil is real, and the devil is at work. The boun ful harvest of our faith is something that Satan wants to destroy. And he has a host of diabolical tac cs to help him carry out his wicked plans. But there is one strategy in par cular that we must be on guard against. As the French poet Charles Baudelaire put it, "The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist." Sneaky as it may be, this approach is effec ve! And, unfortunately, the a tude of our modern era is very conducive to buying the lie. Too o en we dismiss the idea of the invisible spiritual reality of angels and demons. It doesn't seem "scien fic" enough for us because it can't be seen or "proven." But neither can our faith! We believe in a host of invisible reali es star ng with God himself. We should not be fooled into thinking that the devil is a make-believe cartoon character with red horns and a pitchfork on his shoulder. Alas, no. As the "Catechism of the Catholic Church" reminds us, "Scripture witnesses to the disastrous influence of the one Jesus calls 'a murderer from the beginning'" (CCC 394) and, as we read in the Bible, "Indeed, the Son of God was revealed to destroy the works of the Devil" (1 Jn 3:8). This is not pretend, and so it must be taken seriously. But so too, the reality of Satan must be situated within the broader context of God's supreme power. The devil "cannot prevent the building up of God's reign" (CCC 395). The influence of evil can never defeat the power of our faith, unless we let it do so.
16 Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Seguimos en el Evangelio la secuencia iniciada el domingo pasado con la parábola del sembrador. Hoy, se nos narran tres parábolas. La buena semilla y la cizaña, el grano de mostaza, y la levadura. La primera lectura destaca la paciencia y el amor de Dios hacia su pueblo. En el Nuevo Testamento, Jesús, excelente narrador, inicia su predicación con tres comparaciones del Reino de Dios. Sus palabras muestran la presencia de Dios entre nosotros. La primera parábola habla sobre el discernimiento, se ve en el diálogo sostenido entre el dueño del campo y sus servidores, "¿Quieres que vayamos a arrancarla?" Respondió el patrón, "No. No sea que al arrancar la cizaña, arranquen también el trigo". La segunda parábola habla sobre crecimiento, y Jesús narra de la siguiente manera: "Es la más pequeña de todas las semillas, pero cuando crece, llega a ser más grande que las hortalizas". La tercera parábola habla sobre la transformación, y dice así: "Un poco de levadura que tomó una mujer y la mezcló con tres medidas de harina, y toda la masa acabó por fermentar" (Mt 13, 24-33). Discernir, crecer y transformar, son palabras claves para el crecimiento en la vida de fe. Sin olvidar que el trigo esta revuelto con la cizaña y que nuestro enfoque siempre debe ser el trabajar por un Reino que luche siempre promoviendo la paz y la concordia entre los pueblos. Muchas veces la separación entre los buenos y los malos está más allá de nuestro esfuerzo. Eso, solo le toca a Dios. "Entonces los justos brillarán como el sol en el Reino de su Padre. El que tenga oídos, que oiga" (Mt 13, 43).
