All things work for good for those who love God. - Romans 8:28a
A SHARE IN GOD’S KINGDOM Today concludes a three-week series of Gospel texts in which we have listened to a total of seven parables about the kingdom. The believer is asked to consider the request that God made of Solomon in today’s first reading: “Ask something of me and I will give it to you” (1 Kings 3:5). Today’s parables about the treasure buried in the field and the pearl of great price should prompt us to answer, “A share in your kingdom, O God!” Today we discover that the kingdom of God is beyond value, a priceless treasure. Unfortunately, our culture bombards us with things that it believes are priceless treasures—the bigger and better SUVs, anti-aging and anti-balding creams and salves, miracle diets, and so much more.

An Invitation from the Office of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute (LPMI). So often, people ask how they might grow in their faith. In response to this searching, Bishop Lynch initiated the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute. The LPMI is a four-year program: an informal year of discernment and three years of formal academic training and spiritual growth.
The initial segment of the program, the Year of Discernment, consists of eight Saturday sessions from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. The classes will meet at the Christ the King Parish Mary Martha House, located at 821 South Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33609. Classes begin on September 10, 2011 and continue once monthly through April 2012.
The LPMI provides education and formation for laity in the Catholic faith. The program is designed to enhance personal faith and develop intellectual aptitude to enrich personal ministry. For anyone interested in attending the LPMI Year of Discernment, brochures are available in the church or in the parish office. In addition, the registration form and program information can be found on the LPMI web site at http://dosp-lpmi.CatholicWeb.com/. For more information, call the LPMI office at (727) 344-1611, ext. 458. Registrations are due in the LPMI office no later than September 2, 2011.

San Ignacio de Loyola San Ignacio de Loyola nació en 1941 en el Castillo de Loyola, en Guipúzcoa, norte de España, cerca de los montes Pirineos que están en el límite con Francia. Sus padres eran de familias muy distinguidas, tuvieron once hijos: ocho varones y tres mujeres. El más joven de todos fue Ignacio.
Entro en la carrera militar, pero en 1521, a la edad de 30 años, fue gravemente herido. Fue tratado de su herida. Le hicieron 3 operaciones en la rodilla, dolorosísimas y sin anestesia y aún así no se quejó. A pesar de los esfuerzos médicos quedo cojo para toda la vida. Mientras estaba convaleciente leyó La Vida de Cristo y El Año Cristiano, o sea la historia del santo de cada día. Y le sucedió algo muy especial: al leer la vida de Cristo y las vidas de los santos sentía una alegría inmensa que le duraba días y días. Y mientras leía las historias de los santos pensaba: “¿Y por qué no tratar de imitarlos? Si ellos pudieron llegar a ese grado de espiritualidad, ¿por qué no lo voy a lograr yo? ¿Por qué no tratar de ser como San Francisco, Santo Domingo, etc.? Estos hombres estaban hechos del mismo barro que yo. ¿Por qué no esforzarme por llegar al grado que ellos alcanzaron?” Y después se iba a cumplir en él aquello que decía Jesús: “Dichosos los que tienen un gran deseo de ser santos, porque su deseo se cumplirá” (Mt. 5, 6).
Una noche se lo apareció Nuestra Señora con su Hijo Santísimo. La visión lo consoló inmensamente. Desde entonces se propuso dedicarse a servir a Dios.
San Ignacio fundó la Compañía de Jesús o jesuitas, que en 1540 fue aprobada por el Papa Pablo III. El Superior General de la nueva comunidad fue san Ignacio hasta su muerte.
En Roma se dedicó a predicar Ejercicios Espirituales y a catequizar al pueblo. Sus compañeros se dedicaron a dictar clases en universidades y colegios y a dar conferencias espirituales a toda clase de personas. Se propusieron como principal oficio enseñar la religión a la gente.
Era tanto el deseo que tenia de salvar almas que exclamaba: “Estaría dispuesto a perder todo lo que tengo, y hasta que se acabara mi comunidad, con tal de salvar el alma de un pecador”.
Aquí una de sus más bellas oraciones: Tomad, Señor, y recibid
