Twenty-Ninth Ordinary Sunday A teenage boy completes his driver's education course and with his new license in his hand goes to see his dad. "Dad," he says, quite proud of himself, "I'm ready to drive, so I'd like you to get me a car." The father smiles and the two of them hop into the family sedan. But in-stead of going to the local new car dealership, the father takes his son to a junkyard. "Here you go, son. Take your pick; if you can get it repaired and running, you can drive it." The son didn't realize the responsibility of driv-ing a car was squarely on his shoulders alone. If he was to realize his reward, it was solely up to him. Sometimes, one has to wonder about the disciples of Jesus. In today's reading from Mark, James and John seem to be feeling quite proud of themselves, and ask Jesus to promise them something without telling him what it is they want. Now, we realize that Jesus knew what they would ask, but he let them continue anyway. Basically, they wanted a guaranteed seat in heaven on either side of God's throne. Jesus gently tells them that not even he can promise something like that; he can only show them the path, how they choose to get there is up to them. Within the teachings of Jesus and the be-atitudes lies the strength of Christian hope. The beati-tudes give us the hope of heaven as the new Promised Land. Just as James and John came to realize that their hope for a place in heaven relied on them, we are given hope. Hope is expressed in prayer, especially in the Lord's Prayer (CCC 1820). As disciples of Jesus Christ, we must be willing to sacrifice on a daily basis all that we have in his name. We must be willing to do whatever it takes to follow the path to heaven that Jesus has given us.

Mass Intentions The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the greatest and most perfect prayer we can offer because it is the prayer of Jesus Christ to the Fa-ther. The Mass is the most beautiful gift we can give to others. Masses may be offered not only for the deceased, but also for the sick, in thanksgiving for favors received, birthdays, anniversaries, and for any special intention you may have. The dona-tion for each Mass is $15.00. Come to the parish office on 21st Street to reserve your Masses.
Religious Education: All children should have registered. If you have not registered yet, please stop by the rectory to do so during office hours.
Educación Religiosa: Todos los niños deben estar registrados. Si todavia no se han registrado, por favor pasen por la rectoria durante horas de oficina.
Spend Some Catholic Time With Your Children By Talking About Today’s Gospel Message
God wants you to help others. He does not want you to be a slave to others. If you are helping your friend clean his room, and he leaves watch televi-sion, it's ok to stop helping him. Your friend should come back and clean part of his room, too. But, if your friend is unable to clean his room, then it is a great gift for you to clean it for him. God rewards you for helping others. A FAMILY THAT PRAYS TOGETHER, STAYS TOGETHER.
BRING YOUR FAMILY TO PRAY WITH OUR PARISH FAMILY EVERY SUNDAY.

Digésimonoveno Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario
Durante la campaña política para elegir a nuestro presi-dente los candidatos hablaban mucho sobre el lid-erazgo y de la forma de servir a la nación de los Esta-dos Unidos. Mientras nosotros escuchábamos por la radio o veíamos los debates por televisión pre-tendíamos al menos ver cuál de ellos ofrecía la mejor fórmula de liderazgo. En las lecturas de la sagrada Es-critura del día de hoy se nos describe el liderazgo como servicio a los demás y nos muestran a Jesús como el mejor ejemplo de éste. Muchas veces nuestros líderes nos obligan a llevar a cabo acciones injustas para hacer su voluntad, la cual no siempre es justa para el bien social. Esto también está muy lejos de ser el ideal que Jesús seguía. La im-agen de los líderes caciques y autoritarios significan un gran contraste con el estilo de liderazgo de Jesús. Jesús es el servidor por excelencia. Para servirnos se hizo uno como nosotros, menos en el pecado, según nos lo dice la segunda lectura de hoy. Pasó por todo como nosotros y se compadeció de nuestras debili-dades. Al aceptar la copa Jesús acepta el sufrimiento y la voluntad de Dios, tal como lo demostró en el Huerto de Getsemaní. Es por eso que todos podemos acercar-nos a él con la seguridad que seremos auxiliados. Todo lo que Dios nos ha regalado desde la creación -nuestra familia, trabajo, estudios, bienes temporales- no son exclusivos; existen para servir a las demás per-sonas. Todos necesitamos de todos, y ayudarnos los unos a los otros es nuestro destino. Ahora bien, ¿cómo definimos el liderazgo? ¿Quiénes son los mejores líderes? ¿Por qué? ¿En qué aspectos es Jesús el me-jor ejemplo de servicio en el liderazgo?
