Pastor’s Note
Something that is un- deniable about the circumstances of Cath-
olic parish life is the amount of people who
have left the Church. It is doubly true of our own parish. We all
know some- one, whether a friend or a family mem- ber, who grew up
Catholic but is no longer practicing, or is practicing at a
different Catholic parish. A lot of par- ents will try to place the
blame on themselves and ask, “What did I do wrong?” But the truth
is that this isn’t the fault of any one individual. Sys- temic
failure requires whole systems to fail. Nevertheless, we are never
with- out hope because God is the one in charge; this is His Church
and He’s al- ways working. Moreover, we can al- ways shift our
strategies to follow Him and meet the needs of the current situ-
ation. This is the reason why I asked Sr. Maria to shift from being
the CCD Coordinator into her new role as the Works of Mercy
Ambassador. The nor- mal practice for the Catholic Church for too
long has been to wait for people to come to it. But we need to go
out and search for those who aren’t here, and Sr. Maria has a lot
of experience doing exactly that. Through hospital and home visits,
comforting the grieving, finding food for the hungry, building
relationships with the homeless, wel- coming new arrivals to our
area, and praying with those in jails, Sr. Maria is uniquely
equipped to find the people who are not here. Today as a parish we
are thanking Sister for all the work she has done in CCD for our
youth and catechists. We’re also praying that she can guide us all
to go out and find the lost sheep. God bless you Sr. Maria and
thank you for your willingness to take on this new role!
Algo que es innegable sobre las cir- cunstancias de la vida
parroquial católi-
ca es la cantidad de personas que han abandonado la Iglesia. Es
doblemente cierto de nuestra propia parro- quia. Todos conocemos a
alguien, ya sea un amigo o un miembro de la fami- lia, que creció
católico pero ya no está practicando, o está practicando en una
parroquia católica diferente. Muchos padres tratarán de echarse la
culpa a sí mismos y preguntarán: "¿Qué hice mal?" Pero la verdad es
que esto no es culpa de ningún individuo. El fracaso sistémico
requiere que sistemas ente- ros fallen. Sin embargo, nunca esta-
mos sin esperanza porque Dios es el que está a cargo; esta es Su
Iglesia y Él siempre está trabajando. Además, siempre podemos
cambiar nuestras estrategias para seguirlo y satisfacer las
necesidades de la situación ac- tual. Esta es la razón por la que
le pedí a Sor María que pasara de ser la Coor- dinadora de la CLD a
su nuevo rol como Embajadora de Obras de Misericor- dia. La
práctica normal para la Iglesia Católica durante demasiado tiempo
ha sido esperar a que la gente venga a ella. Pero tenemos que salir
y buscar a los que no están aquí, y Sor María tiene mucha
experiencia haciendo exacta- mente eso. A través de visitas al
hospi- tal y al hogar, consolando a los afligi- dos, encontrando
comida para los hambrientos, construyendo relaciones con las
personas sin hogar, dando la bienvenida a los recién llegados a
nuestra área y orando con aquellos en las cárceles, Sor María está
equipada de manera única para encontrar a las personas que no están
aquí. Hoy como parroquia estamos agradeciendo a la hermana por todo
el trabajo que ha hecho en CCD para nuestros jóvenes y catequistas.
También estamos orando para que ella pueda guiarnos a todos a salir
y encontrar a las ovejas perdi- das. ¡Dios los bendiga Sor María y
gra- cias por su disposición a asumir este nuevo rol!

Reflection (Reflexin) July 11, 2021
Jesus wants every believer to believe what he believed, live as he
lived, love as he loved and serve as he served. This is what the
Gospel is calling us to do. We are called by Jesus to engage in
God’s mission. A call to follow him and a willingness to obey. That
is it. No qualification needed. He did not call the 12 disciples
because they were quali- fied, rather he qualified the 12 , just as
he will with us. And we shouldn’t be surprised if our calling comes
with rejection or suffer- ing, afterall look at how he was rejected
and suffered , and he was JESUS. However , we are accountable only
for our faithfulness to engage in God’s mission while trusting God
to produce the results. Let us follow him with a willing and
obedient heart.
Jesús quiere que cada creyente crea lo que creía, viva como vivió,
ame como amó y sirva como sirvió. Esto es lo que el Evange- lio nos
está llamando a hacer. Somos llama- dos por Jesús a participar en
la misión de Dios. Una llamada a seguirlo y la voluntad de
obedecer. Eso es todo . No se necesita calificación. No llamó a los
12 discípulos porque estaban calificados, sino que calificó a los
12, tal como lo hará con nosotros. Y no deberíamos sorprendernos si
nuestro lla- mado viene con rechazo o sufrimiento, des- pués de
todo mira cómo fue rechazado y sufrió, y él era JESÚS. Sin embargo,
somos responsables sólo de nuestra fidelidad para participar en la
misión de Dios, mientras que confiamos en Dios para producir los
resultados. Sigamos con un corazón dis- puesto y obediente.
