Fifth Annual BLESSING OF PETS
Sun., Oct. 7th, 2:00 PM Spread the Word!
In honor of St. Francis of Assisi, we will once again meet on the steps of the church to bless animals of “all denominations” from approximately 2:00-2:30 PM on Sunday, October 7th. This Gathering of the Creatures Choir is an exciting way of seeing and appreciating God’s many blessings. Balloons, snacks will be featured. Please make sure each pet is leashed, caged or boxed, so we will not have a “run-away” celebration. You don’t have to own a pet to enjoy this blessing; anyone may attend. Please tell your friends and neighbors, especially the children.
OUR PARISH PLEDGE
We, who are “the living stones” of God’s Church, PROMISE TO:
– intentionally pray AND act to express our personal and communal REMORSE for victims of clergy abuse, – passionately pray AND act to bring to JUSTICE those who have permanently injured the innocent, and – intentionally pray AND act to guarantee SAFETY for everyone in our midst, especially the vulnerable …
as God is our witness!

Don’t Believe Everything You See Online!
TODAY’S INSERT Monsignor Sandi has compiled a one-page sampler of Trustworthy Catholic Websites for Holy Trinity parishioners and included it with today’s Bulletin. Please take the time to read the leaflet and perhaps use these very useful sources of information to keep your Faith current, balanced and fresh!
Holy Trinity Acolytes: Altar Servers Parents of Boys and Girls,
Grade 5 and Older Training begins Sat., Oct. 6th and/or 7th
Starting in two weeks, boys and girls will be trained to act as Holy Trinity Altar Servers. It’s a great honor to assist the priest in the celebration of the Eucharist in the name of our parishioners. Serving Mass also displays an excellent model of prayer and good behavior for other children. Please consider it; give them the opportunity to shine!
Sophia, ChurchMouse Reporting unseen works of faith, hope and charity to uplift you.
In these trying times for the Church family, ponder these commanding words from St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1622), the faithful Spanish nun who helped to reform the Church in another very difficult time. Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks with compassion on the world, Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good, Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world, Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, Yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours, Yours are the eyes with which he looks with compassion on the world. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

TOMAR EN SERIO A JESÚS
El episodio de Cesarea de Filipo ocupa un lugar central en el evangelio de Marcos. Después de un tiempo de convivir con él, Jesús hace a sus discípulos una pregunta decisiva: "¿Quién decís que soy yo?". En nombre de todos, Pedro le contesta sin dudar: "Tú eres el Mesías". Por fin parece que todo está claro. Jesús es el Mesías enviado por Dios, y los discípulos lo siguen para colaborar con él.
Pero Jesús sabe que no es así. Todavía les falta aprender algo muy importante. Es fácil confesar a Jesús con palabras, pero todavía no saben lo que significa seguirlo de cerca compartiendo su proyecto y su destino. Marcos dice que Jesús "empezó a enseñarles" que debía sufrir mucho. No es una enseñanza más, sino algo fundamental que los discípulos tendrán que ir asimilando poco a poco.
Desde el principio les habla "con toda claridad". No les quiere ocultar nada. Tienen que saber que el sufrimiento lo acompañará siempre en su tarea de abrir caminos al reino de Dios. Al final, será condenado por los dirigentes religiosos y morirá ejecutado violentamente. Sólo al resucitar se verá que Dios está con él.
Pedro se rebela ante lo que está oyendo. Su reacción es increíble. Toma a Jesús consigo y se lo lleva aparte para "increparlo". Había sido el primero en confesarlo como Mesías. Ahora es el primero en rechazarlo. Quiere hacer ver a Jesús que lo que está diciendo es absurdo. No está dispuesto a que siga ese camino. Jesús ha de cambiar esa manera de pensar.
Jesús reacciona con una dureza desconocida. De pronto ve en Pedro los rasgos de Satanás, el tentador del desierto que busca apartar a las personas de la voluntad de Dios. Se vuelve de cara a los discípulos y “reprende” literalmente a Pedro con estas palabras:"Ponte detrás de mí, Satanás": vuelve a ocupar tu puesto de discípulo. Deja de tentarme. "Tus pensamientos no son los de Dios, sino los de los hombres, ".
Luego llama a la gente y a sus discípulos para que escuchen bien sus palabras. Las repetirá en diversas ocasiones. No las han de olvidar jamás. "Si alguno quiere venir detrás de mí, que renuncie a sí mismo, que cargue con su cruz y que me siga".
Seguir a Jesús no es obligatorio. Es una decisión libre de cada uno. Pero hemos de tomar en serio a Jesús. No bastan confes-iones fáciles. Si queremos seguirlo en su tarea apasionante de hacer un mundo más humano, digno y dichoso, hemos de estar dispuestos a dos cosas. Primero, renunciar a proyectos o planes que se oponen al reino de Dios. Segundo, aceptar los sufrimientos que nos pueden llegar por seguir a Jesús e identificarnos con su causa Recursos de A. Pagola, Rev Dangelo Jimenez
