Pastor’s Weekly Message

World Mission Sunday The church celebrates World Mission Sunday today

reminding us that we are all called to be involved in the

missionary work of the church. This work that began with

Jesus Christ himself and through the apostles came down to

our generation. Our baptism calls us to mission and continues

as we all strive to share the joy of the gospel with those

around us. Our second reading from the First letter of St.

Paul’s to the Thessalonians, expressed this joy in gratitude as

Paul and his companions thanked God for the community they

help founded. They called to mind in thanksgiving and

prayers, “the work of faith and labor of love and endurance of

hope of our Lord Jesus Christ” among the people (1Thes. 1:3).

The work of the mission is all done with these three virtues

that endures namely, faith, hope and love.

In the Message of Pope Francis for World Mission Day 2017,

Pope Francis asked some pertinent questions that we can all

reflect upon: What is the basis of our mission? What is the

heart of our mission? What are the essential approaches we

need to take in carrying out our mission? He concluded that

the basis of our mission is Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and

the life. “The Church’s mission, directed to all men and

women of good will, is based on the transformative power of

the Gospel. The Gospel is Good News filled with contagious

joy, for it contains and offers new life: the life of the Risen

Christ who, by bestowing His life-giving Spirit, becomes for

us the Way, the Truth and the Life (cf. Jn 14:6). He is the Way

who invites us to follow him with confidence and courage. In

following Jesus as our Way, we experience Truth and receive

his Life, which is fullness of communion with God the Father

in the power of the Holy Spirit. That life sets us free from

every kind of selfishness, and is a source of creativity in

love.” (#1)

According to the Pope, the mission of the church is not to

spread a religious ideology but rather make Jesus Christ

present in our time proclaiming the favorable time of

salvation. “Through the mission of the Church, Jesus Christ

himself continues to evangelize and act; her mission thus

makes present in history the kairos, the favorable time of

salvation. Through the proclamation of the Gospel, the risen

Jesus becomes our contemporary, so that those who welcome

him with faith and love can experience the transforming

power of his Spirit, who makes humanity and creation fruitful,

even as the rain does with the earth.” (#3)

World Mission Day, promoted by the Society of the

Propagation of the Faith, is a good opportunity for enabling

the missionary heart of Christian communities to join in

prayer, testimony of life and communion of goods, in

responding to the vast and pressing needs of evangelization.

On this day, we pray for all who are involved in spreading the

love of Jesus to the ends of the earth. In gratitude for those

who brought the faith to us, we share the same faith with those

we come in contact. The second collection today supports the

Pontifical Office for the Propagation of the Faith. This office

helps the pope in caring for places in the world that need

financial support for the spread of the gospel. My

missionary order used to receive financial assistance from this

office for our seminary and some of our missions in Africa.

World Mission Sunday has another dimension for me as a

member of the Missionary Society of St. Paul because it was

on Mission Sunday 1977 that our National Missionary

Seminary of St. Paul was opened in Iperu-Remo, Nigeria. This

was the foundation of the Missionary Society of St. Paul, thus

we are celebrating 40 years of our foundation this year. That is

why we are so excited to invite you all to join us to celebrate

the Mass of Thanksgiving next Saturday October 22nd at

10:00AM here in our parish. We will have a reception in the

Family Life Center after the Mass where you will have the

opportunity to interact with many MSP priests working in the

United States and also get to hear more about our stories.

Apart from the priests, you will also meet some of our lay

group of missionaries known as the Associate Missionaries of

St. Paul (AMSP). These lay missionaries work in

collaboration with the priests and they are engaged in training

seminarians, supporting priests and their mission through

prayers. There will be opportunities in the future for lay

missionaries to actually go on mission to any of the countries

where our priests are working.

Let’s have a fun-filled Fall Festival!

Let us all come out and have fun at our festival today (October

22nd). After weeks of preparation, we are ready to celebrate

today. I hope to see many of you in the different booths. A big

thank you to Pauline Brown and Terry Mares, the chair and co

-chair of the festival this year. They and all the coordinators of

the different booths and activities have put in a lot of hours

and resources to make the event successful. I pray the Lord to

reward you all. I am also grateful to our volunteers. An event

of this magnitude requires a lot of logistics and you have all

done a fantastic job!

All Saints and All Souls Days: In less than two weeks, we

will be in the month of November. This is traditionally the

month we pray for the dead. Two important feasts come up on

the first and second day of the month. We have the Solemnity

of All Saints on 1st of November when the church remembers

all those who are part of the “clouds of witnesses” but may not

be canonized by the church. Since it is a solemnity, we will

have the vigil Mass on October 31st at 7pm in Spanish and

Mass of the day at 8:30am (school Mass) and 7pm (English).

November 2nd is All Souls Day when we pray for all the dead.

Masses will be held at 8:30am (English) and 7pm (Bilingual).

The book of remembrance of the dead is still open for

parishioners to write the name of their deceased. This book

will be placed in the sanctuary all through the month of

November for prayers.

October 29 is Priesthood Sunday! Catholic parishes throughout the United States will show

support for their priests with prayer. In addition with

great celebration and appreciation for our priests,

especially our very own Father Felix and Father

Anthony.

Priesthood Sunday was established in 2003 to express

appreciation for the devoted priests who serve them their

communities so faithfully. Such a celebration is

increasingly relevant in light of the declining number of

priests in the U.S. Only about 4,000 of the 19,000 parish-

es in this country currently have more than one priest.

Many priests serve two or more parishes by themselves.

In the spirit of Priesthood Sunday, say thank you to our

priests of St. Mary Magdalene or other parishes you may

visit for their vocation and service to the Church!

Breaking Open the Word for Families for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time

By: Ginger Herrington

Reading 1: Isaiah 45:1, 4-6

I have called you by your name, though you knew Me not. The prophet Isaiah tells King

Cyrus, who is famous for allowing the captured Israelites to return to their homeland and to

rebuild their Temple: the God you do not know grasped you by the right hand, armed you, and subdued

nations under you, giving you your exalted title.

Reading 2: First Thessalonians 1:1-5b

The Gospel came in Word and Power with the Holy Spirit. St. Paul remembers the community in

Thessalonica in his prayers, commending them for their faith, hope, and love, and calling to mind how they

were chosen – through the proclamation of the Gospel.

Gospel: Matthew 22:15-21

Repay to God what belongs to God. Jesus is questioned for the purpose of tripping Him up and getting

Him in trouble, but Jesus sees through this deception. He boils the question down to the bare essentials: we

are to obey the civil authorities whom God has appointed over us; and we are to give to God His due: our

love and our lives. Give joyfully to the good God Who has given you everything.

Mensaje Seminal del Párroco

Domingo de Misión Mundial La iglesia celebra el Domingo de Misiones Mundiales hoy recordándonos que todos estamos llamados a participar en la obra misionera de la iglesia. Este trabajo que comenzó con el mismo Jesucristo y por medio de los apóstoles se extendió hasta nuestra generación. Nuestro bautismo nos llama a la misión y continúa mientras todos nos esforzamos por compartir la alegría del evangelio con quienes nos rodean. Nuestra segunda lectura, desde la Primera carta de San Pablo a los Tesalonicenses, expresó esta alegría en agradecimiento cuando Pablo y sus compañeros agradecieron a Dios por la comunidad que ayudaron a fundar. Recordaron en acción de gracias y oraciones, "la obra de fe y trabajo de amor y la perseverancia de la esperanza de nuestro Señor Jesucristo" entre el pueblo (1Tes. 1: 3). El trabajo de la misión se realiza con estas tres virtudes que perduran a saber, la fe, la esperanza y el amor.

En el Mensaje del Papa Francisco para el Día Mundial de la Misión 2017, el Papa Francisco hizo algunas preguntas pertinentes sobre las cuales todos podemos reflexionar: ¿Cuál es la base de nuestra misión? ¿Cuál es el corazón de nuestra misión? ¿Cuáles son los enfoques esenciales que debemos tomar para llevar a cabo nuestra misión? Concluyó que la base de nuestra misión es Jesucristo, el camino, la verdad y la vida. "La misión de la Iglesia, dirigida a todos los hombres y mujeres de buena voluntad, se basa en el poder transformador del Evangelio. El Evangelio es una buena noticia llena de alegría contagiosa, porque contiene y ofrece una nueva vida: la vida del Cristo resucitado que, al otorgar su Espíritu vivificante, se convierte para nosotros en el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida (cf. Jn 14: 6). Él es el Camino que nos invita a seguirlo con confianza y coraje. Al seguir a Jesús como nuestro Camino, experimentamos la Verdad y recibimos su Vida, que es la plenitud de la comunión con Dios el Padre en el poder del Espíritu Santo. Esa vida nos libera de todo tipo de egoísmo, y es una fuente de creatividad en el amor ". (# 1)

Según el Papa, la misión de la iglesia no es difundir una ideología religiosa sino hacer que Jesucristo esté presente en nuestro tiempo proclamando el tiempo favorable de la salvación. "A través de la misión de la Iglesia, el mismo Jesucristo continúa evangelizando y actuando; su misión hace presente en la historia el “kairos”, lo que se traduce como el momento favorable de la salvación. A través de la proclamación del Evangelio, Jesús resucitado se convierte en nuestro contemporáneo, para que quienes lo acogen con fe y amor puedan experimentar el poder transformador de su Espíritu, que hace fructificar a la humanidad y a la creación, como la lluvia lo hace con la tierra ". (N. ° 3)

El Día Mundial de la Misión, promovido por la Sociedad de

Propagación de la Fe, es una buena oportunidad para permitir que el

corazón misionero de las comunidades cristianas se una a la

oración, al testimonio de vida y la comunión de bienes, respondiendo

a las necesidades vastas y acuciantes de la evangelización. En este

día, oramos por todos los que están involucrados en la difusión del

amor de Jesús hasta los confines de la tierra. En agradecimiento a

quienes nos trajeron la fe, compartimos la misma fe con quienes

tenemos contacto. La segunda colección de hoy apoya a la Oficina

Pontificia para la Propagación de la Fe. Esta oficina ayuda al Papa a

cuidar lugares en el mundo que necesitan apoyo financiero para la

difusión del evangelio. Mi orden misionera solía recibir ayuda finan-

ciera de esta oficina para nuestro seminario y algunas de nuestras

misiones en África.

El Domingo Mundial de Misiones tiene otra dimensión para mí como miembro de la Sociedad Misionera de San Pablo porque fue en la Misión el Domingo de 1977 que se inauguró nuestro Seminario Misionero Nacional de San Pablo en Iperu-Remo, Nigeria. Esta fue la base de la Sociedad Misionera de San Pablo, por lo que estamos celebrando 40 años de nuestra fundación este año. Es por eso que estamos muy emocionados de invitarlos a todos a unirse a nosotros para celebrar la Misa de Acción de Gracias el próximo sábado 28 de octubre a las 10:00 AM aquí en nuestra parroquia. Tendremos una recepción en el Centro de Vida Familiar después de la Misa, donde tendrá la oportunidad de interactuar con muchos sacerdotes del MSP que trabajan en los Estados Unidos y también podrán escuchar más sobre nuestra historia. Además de los sacerdotes, también conocerá a algunos de nuestros misioneros laicos conocidos como los Misioneros Asociados de San Pablo (AMSP). Estos misioneros laicos trabajan en colaboración con los sacerdotes y se dedican a prepara a seminaristas, apoyar a los sacerdotes y su misión a través de las oraciones. Habrá oportunidades en el futuro para los misioneros laicos de ir en misión a cualquiera de los países donde están trabajando nuestros sacerdotes.

¡Vamos a tener un festival de otoño lleno de diversión! Salgamos todos a divertirnos en nuestro festival hoy (22 de octubre). Después de semanas de preparación, estamos listos para celebrar hoy. Espero ver a muchos de ustedes en los diferentes puestos. Muchísimas gracias a Pauline Brown y Terry Mares, presidenta y co-presidenta del festival este año. Ellos y todos los coordinadores de los diferentes puestos, tiendas y actividades han invertido muchas horas y recursos para que el evento sea un exito. Ruego al Señor que les recompense a todos. También estoy agradecido a nuestros voluntarios. ¡Un evento de esta magnitud requiere mucha logística y se ha hecho un trabajo fantástico!

Misas de los Santos y de los Muertos: En menos de dos

semanas, estaremos en el mes de Noviembre. Este es

tradicionalmente el mes en que oramos por los muertos. Dos fiestas

importantes se presentan el primer y segundo día del mes. Tenemos

la Solemnidad de Todos los Santos el 1 de noviembre cuando la

iglesia recuerda a todos los que son parte de las "nubes de testigos"

pero no pueden ser canonizados por la iglesia. Dado que es una

solemnidad, tendremos la Misa de vigilia el 31 de octubre a las

7 p.m. en español y la Misa del día a las 8:30 a.m. (Misa escolar) y a

las 7 p.m. (inglés). El 2 de noviembre es el Día de

las Almas cuando rezamos por todos los muertos.

Las misas se llevarán a cabo a las 8:30 a.m.

(inglés) y a las 7 p.m. (bilingüe). El libro de

conmemoración de los muertos aún está abierto

para que los feligreses escriban el nombre de su

difunto. Este libro se colocará en el santuario

durante todo el mes de noviembre para oraciones.

A petición del Ordinario de la Arquidiócesis, la

Oficina de Educación Cristiana continúa

preparando guías para la preparación de los

padres para la recepción del sacramento del bautismo para

sus hijos pequeños. Estas guías se aplican a los padres con

niños de 6 años y menores. Una vez que el niño alcanza la

edad de la catequesis (cerca de 7 años, como es

determinado por la Conferencia Episcopal de los EE.UU.)

ella/el deben ser puestos en un proceso catecúmena para

niños.

La razón principal para la preparación de estas Guías

Sacramentales son para servir como herramienta

evangelizadora cuando los padres presentan a sus niños

para el bautismo. El bautismo es la labor de la Iglesia que

da testimonio vivo de la fe que profesa. Por lo tanto, los

padres que buscan el bautismo de su hijo/a son invitados a

contactar la oficina parroquial para su cita tan pronto como

sea posible durante el embarazo.

Favor de llamar a Vickie Cortez al 281-446-8211

LE RECORDAMOS QUE POR ESTE AÑO, SÓLO SE HARÁN BAUTIZOS

La celebración de la Confirmación naturalmente reúne la actividad y preocupación de la educación religiosa y la liturgia. Hoy en día

las actividades de “hacer Cristianos” en educación, en el ejercicio de la fe y en el rito, son asuntos que están bajo mucho escrutinio,

experimentando serios re-exámenes y reformas. Mucho de esto se realiza mientras buscamos formas mas efectivas de desafiar a

nuestras comunidades parroquiales (no solo a los jóvenes), a abrazar un compromiso cristiano genuino e incultura los en la fe

cristiana. Este involucrarse incluye esfuerzos para traer familias completas de personas cristianas a una reconsideración concienzuda

de iniciación en la fe Cristiana. Estos esfuerzos deben incluir un amplio alcance y estrategias de asuntos pastorales, teológicos,

históricos, litúrgicos y de formación.

El movimiento de educación religiosa, comenzando con la formación de la Asociación de Educación Religiosa en 1903,

buscaba mejorar la Escuela Dominical en la calidad de entrenamiento de liderazgo y el currículo Iglesia/Hogar. Una cuidadosa

evaluación de recursos de currículo resultó en dar atención a las ideas del saber bíblico y de las ramificaciones personales y sociales

de la fe Cristiana. Debido a este énfasis más fuerte en la participación durante toda la vida en la comunidad de fe, en su culto,

ministerios mutuos, y tener un alcance al mundo más amplio. La comprensión de los sacramentos ha tomado un énfasis comunitario

mas fuerte. Este enfoque tiene la ventaja adicional de recordar a la comunidad sobre su responsabilidad activa de formar y

transformar las vidas individuales al igual que a la comunidad en su totalidad y en su ministerio al mundo. Si usted necesita el

sacramento de Confirmación no espere. Llame para su cita de registración lo más pronto posible .

Recuerden todo candidato necesita un padrino o madrina que comparta esta jornada de fe con usted.

SACRAMENTO DE CONFIRMACIÓN Para adultos y jóvenes adultos

de 18 años o más.

¡El 29 de Octubre es el Domingo del Sacerdote!

Las parroquias católicas en todo Estados Unidos

mostrarán apoyo a sus sacerdotes con oración,

celebración y diálogo. Una gran celebración y

agradecimiento para nuestros sacerdotes.

Especialmente nuestro propio padre Félix y el padre

Anthony.

El Domingo del sacerdocio se estableció en 2003 para

expresar aprecio por los devotos sacerdotes que les

sirven a sus comunidades con tanta fidelidad. Tal

celebración es cada vez más relevante a la luz del

número decreciente de sacerdotes en los Estados

Unidos. Solo unas 4,000 de las 19,000 parroquias en

este país actualmente tienen más de un sacerdote.

Muchos sacerdotes sirven a dos o más parroquias por

sí mismos.

¡En el espíritu del Domingo del Sacerdocio, di gracias

a nuestros sacerdotes de Santa María Magdalena u

otras parroquias que puedan visitar por su vocación y

servicio a la Iglesia!

Un Noticia de la Oficina del

Obispo

Galveston-Houston, ofreciendo celebrar misas y

hacer excersismos en hogares privados, a pesar de

su despido del estado clerical por la Congración

de la Fe en Roma en 2013. No está autorizado

para participar en el ministerio sacerdotal ni

presentarse como sacerdote.
