2017 Special Collections Schedule July 23—Missionary Appeal for The Missionary Society of St. Columban September 17—Priest’s Retirement Fund October 22—World Mission Sunday November 5—St. Patrick’s Seminary November 19—Campaign for Human Development December 10—Retirement for Religious
MISSIONARY APPEAL Fr. Tim Mulroy, a Columban Mis-sionary, will preach this weekend at all the Masses. Father Mulroy is originally from County Mayo, Ireland, and was ordained a Columban Priest in 1995. He spent 8 years on mission in Japan before moving to Chicago where he served as rector at the Columban
International Seminary for 9years. He was appointed US.S. Regional Director in 2012. Today Columban’s minister in fourteen different countries around the world. Despite Government restrictions on their life and ministry, the support the forgotten church in China. They administer among the deprived and downtrodden Catholics in Pakistan in spite of great personal risk. They sup-port the struggling church in Myanmar as that country emerges from decades of military dictatorship. They befriend the poor and forgotten in the Philippines and Peru. They encourage young people in various countries to become Columban priests and lay missionaries in order to continue spreading the Good News of God’s love for all humanity. Please be generous in our collection next weekend to support the good works of the Columban’s.
Dear Friends, As some of you may already know, we have no more English Mass Intentions for 2017. We are all booked up! If you would like a Mass Inten-tion for this year, we do have room with the Spanish Masses. Because we have so many Mass Intentions, Mass Intentions will be limited to three per person per year. Thanks for your understanding.
Again, another reminder that Father Sebastian will be here on Thursday, August 17th, to celebrate Mass with us. Father Sebastian was a close collaborator with Mother Theresa and founded the male branch of Mother’s group, the Missionaries of Charity. Because we expect a large crowd of people from all over the Bay Area, Mass that day will start at 10am. Hope to see you there. Have a Great Week! Father Brian

Queridos amigos, Como algunos de ustedes ya saben, no tenemos más Intenciones de Misa en In-glés para el 2017. ¡Todos estamos reservados! Si desea una Intención de Misa para este año, tenemos espacio con las Misas de España. Debido a que tenemos tantas Intenciones de Misa, las Intenciones de Misas se limitarán a tres por per-sona por año. Gracias por su comprensión.
Otra vez, otro recordatorio de que el padre Sebastián estará aquí el jueves, 17 de agosto, para celebrar la misa con nosotros. El padre Sebastián colaboró estrechamente con Madre Teresa y fundó la rama masculina del grupo de la Madre, las Misioneras de la Caridad. Debido a que esperamos una gran multitud de personas de todo el área de la Bahía, la misa ese día comen-zará a las 10am. Espero verte allí. ¡Que tengas una buena semana! Padre Brian
LA MISERICORDIA, EL PODER Y EL AMOR DE DIOS La primera lectura de hoy, del libro de la Sabiduría, va al punto una y otra vez, ¡al menos cinco veces en cinco versículos! Dios es poderoso, pero compasivo con todos. La fuerza de Dios se muestra en la bondad y la clemencia, no en la aspereza o la condenación, y quienes gobiernan al pueblo de Dios deben gobernar de igual manera, con bondad. Esta amorosa bondad y delicadeza no son contrarios al poder de Dios, sino directo resultado de la primacía de Dios sobre todo. ¿Quiénes somos nosotros, entonces, para juzgar el corazón de nuestros hermanos cristianos y a toda la gente, cuando Dios ordena justicia con amor y clem-encia? De igual manera, el Espíritu Santo suple nuestra ig-norancia de lo que necesitamos, hablando en un len-guaje que no comprendemos todavía. Pero Dios conoce nuestras necesidades antes que nosotros, en-tiende las intercesiones del Espíritu, y nos ayuda en nuestra necesidad. Esta es nuestra esperanza: la mis-ericordia, el poder y el amor de Dios.
LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura -- Tenemos la esperanza bien fundada de que se nos perdonarán nuestros pecados (Sabiduría 12:13, 16-19). Salmo -- Tú, Señor, eres bueno y clemente (Salmo 86 [85]). Segunda lectura -- Cuando no sabemos qué pedir, el Es-píritu ruega por nosotros (Romanos 8:26-27). Evangelio -- El Hijo del Hombre siembra buena semilla, que son los hijos del reino (Mateo 13:24-43).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Bartolomé de las Casas, el gran defensor de los indígenas, nació en Sevilla, España en 1474 y falleció en Madrid en el año 1566. Su larga vida fue dedicada a la presencia es-pañola en América. Bartolomé llegó a la Nueva España para encargarse de una Encomienda. Después fue ordenado sacerdote y reci-bió a cargo una encomienda de mineros amerindios. Poco a poco su corazón cristiano le abrió los ojos a las injustici-as españolas en América. Por eso se hizo fraile dominico e hizo varios viajes a Es-paña en defensa de los derechos humanos de los amerin-dios ante los reyes de España, los cuales le dieron tierras en Venezuela y Chiapas para poner en práctica su teoría humanista acerca de los indígenas. Hasta el fin de su vida este fraile y teólogo dominico lu-chó por los derechos de los nativos americanos, buscando convencer a los reyes españoles y a los Papas que la con-quista no favorecía la evangelización de los pueblos. Gra-cias a sus esfuerzos se abolió la esclavitud indígena y se instituyó el diálogo, en lugar de la espada, como instru-mento de conversión.
