22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song
First Reading Sir 3:17-18, 20, 28-29
My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts. Humble yourself
the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God. What is too sublime for you, seek not, into things
beyond your strength search not. The mind of a sage appreciates proverbs, and an attentive ear is the joy of the
wise. Water quenches a flaming fire, and alms atone for sins. Responsorial
Psalm Ps 68 R. God, in your goodness, you have made a home for the poor.
Second Reading Heb 12:18-19, 22-24a
Brothers and sisters: You have not approached that which could be touched and a blazing fire and gloomy dark-
ness and storm and a trumpet blast and a voice speaking words such that those who heard begged that no message
be further addressed to them. No, you have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem, and countless angels in festal gathering, and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, and God
the judge of all, and the spirits of the just made perfect, and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and the sprin-
kled blood that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel.
Gospel Lk 14:1, 7-14
On a sabbath Jesus went to dine at the home of one of the leading Pharisees, and the people there were observing
him carefully. He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of
honor at the table. “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of
honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him, and the host who invited both of you
may approach you and say, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then you would proceed with embarrassment to
take the lowest place. Rather, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to
you he may say, ‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’ Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at
the table. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Then he said to the host who invited him, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your
brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment.
Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be be-
cause of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
Question of the Week!
Seeking humility (Luke 14:1, 7-14) – Buscando Humildad (Lucas 14:1, 7-14) Adults/Adultos: What concrete actions can you take in your community to help and improve the quality of life of the poor and homeless? – ¿Qué medidas concretas se llevará en su comunidad para ayudar y mejorar la calidad de vida de los pobres y personas sin hogar?
Children/ Niños: When you want only to own more things, how does that keep you from being generous to those in need? – Cuando sólo deseas poseer más cosas, ¿cómo se evitará que quedes generosos con los necesitados?

El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150
Primera lectura Eclesiástico (Sirácide) 3, 17-18. 20. 28-29
Hijo mío, en tus asuntos procede con humildad y te amarán más que al hombre dadivoso. Hazte tanto más
pequeño cuanto más grande seas y hallarás gracia ante el Señor, porque sólo él es poderoso y sólo los humildes le
dan gloria. No hay remedio para el hombre orgulloso, porque ya está arraigado en la maldad. El hombre
prudente medita en su corazón las sentencias de los otros, y su gran anhelo es saber escuchar.
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 67 R. Dios da libertad y riqueza a los cautivos.
Segunda lectura Heb 12, 18-19. 22-24a
Hermanos: Cuando ustedes se acercaron a Dios, no encontraron nada material, como en el Sinaí: ni fuego
ardiente, ni obscuridad, ni tinieblas, ni huracán, ni estruendo de trompetas, ni palabras pronunciadas por aquella
voz que los israelitas no querían volver a oír nunca. Ustedes, en cambio, se han acercado a Sión, el monte y la
ciudad del Dios viviente, a la Jerusalén celestial, a la reunión festiva de miles y miles de ángeles, a la asamblea
de los primogénitos, cuyos nombres están escritos en el cielo. Se han acercado a Dios, que es el juez de todos los
hombres, y a los espíritus de los justos que alcanzaron la perfección. Se han acercado a Jesús, el mediador de la
nueva alianza.
Evangelio Lc 14, 1. 7-14
Un sábado, Jesús fue a comer en casa de uno de los jefes de los fariseos, y éstos estaban espiándolo. Mirando
cómo los convidados escogían los primeros lugares, les dijo esta parábola: "Cuando te inviten a un banquete de
bodas, no te sientes en el lugar principal, no sea que haya algún otro invitado más importante que tú, y el que los
invitó a los dos venga a decirte: 'Déjale el lugar a éste', y tengas que ir a ocupar, lleno de vergüenza, el último
asiento. Por el contrario, cuando te inviten, ocupa el último lugar, para que, cuando venga el que te invitó, te
diga: 'Amigo, acércate a la cabecera'. Entonces te verás honrado en presencia de todos los convidados. Porque el
que se engrandece a sí mismo, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será engrandecido". Luego dijo al que lo
había invitado: "Cuando des una comida o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes,
ni a los vecinos ricos; porque puede ser que ellos te inviten a su vez, y con eso quedarías recompensado. Al
contrario, cuando des un banquete, invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos; y así serás
dichoso, porque ellos no tienen con qué pagarte; pero ya se te pagará, cuando resuciten los justos".

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear friends,
We, as Christ’s Church, have a mission, entrusted to us by the Lord, to pass on the faith to future generations. YOU have a mission.
We need Catechists who are willing to carry out that mission and we are asking YOU. We need Catechists for Monday and Wednesday
evenings (English), Thursday evenings (Spanish) and for Sunday mornings (both languages). At the moment, we need a dozen or more
to teach all of the children who want to learn more about their faith.
You don’t have to wait for Jesus to call you to this ministry. He already has: “Go, and make disciples… teaching them to observe all
that I have commanded you.” (Mt 28:19) If you are new to this, the parish will give you all the materials you need, training, and
support. If you are still tentative about this ministry, see about beginning as an aide.
It is not enough to simply give information to these children. The faith must be passed on and for that it needs a person of faith. We
cannot give what we have not already received. Call Mary Kay Wallace (English) or Felicitas Palacios (Spanish) to learn more and to
offer to the Lord, in thanksgiving, what he has already given you. The number is 713-473-9484.
Several people have asked me about Genesis Calderon, the young lady who spoke to us about her mission in Ecuador, and about
Salvador Amezquita who crafted the beautiful votive candle stand for the church. If you would like to continue helping Genesis in her
work, the website is rostrodecristo.org/donate. If you would like to contact Salvador regarding some wrought-ironwork, his number is
832-818-1136.
God bless you.
Fr. Joe

Queridos amigos,
Nosotros, como Iglesia de Cristo, tenemos una misión, que nos ha confiado el Señor, para transmitir la fe a las generaciones futuras.
USTED tiene una misión. Necesitamos Catequistas que están dispuestos a llevar a cabo esa misión y le estamos pidiendo a USTED.
Necesitamos Catequistas para el lunes y miércoles por la tarde (en inglés), jueves por la noche (español) y por las mañanas de domingo
(ambos idiomas). Por el momento, necesitamos una docena o más para enseñar a todos los niños que quieran aprender más sobre su fe.
Usted no tiene que esperar para que Jesús le llama a este ministerio. Él ya le llamó: “Vayan y hagan discípulos…enseñándoles a
obedecer todo lo que les he mandado a ustedes" (Mt 28:19) Si usted es nuevo en esto, la parroquia le dará todos los materiales que
necesita, la formación, y el apoyo. Si usted está todavía provisional acerca de este ministerio, piense en comenzar como ayudante.
No es suficiente simplemente dar información a estos niños. La fe debe ser transmitida y para ello se necesita una persona de fe. No
podemos dar lo que no hemos recibido. Llame a Mary Kay Wallace (inglés) o Felicitas Palacios (español) para obtener más información
y para ofrecer al Señor, en acción de gracias, lo que ya se ha dado. El número es 713-473-9484.
Varias personas me han preguntado sobre Génesis Calderón, la señorita que nos habló de su misión en Ecuador, y sobre Salvador
Amezquita que diseñó el soporte hermoso para las velas votivas en la iglesia. Si desea seguir ayudando a Génesis en su trabajo, el sitio-
web es rostrodecristo.org/donate. Si desea ponerse en contacto con Salvador con respecto a obras de hierro forjado, su número es 832-
818-1136.
Dios les bendiga.

Reflection for Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time C
One of my new responsibilities as the Director of Parish Social Services here at St. Pius is to inform us on Catholic Social
Teaching and to help the community respond to the needs of our brothers and sisters. I will be writing a very small paragraph
in our bulletin on Catholic Social Teaching and our call to respond as it connects to the Gospel of the week.
Today we hear about the “place of honor” and about the person invited to sit in that place. It is the person that lets go of any-
thing that limits their relationship to the Host and to each other. Catholic Social Teaching states that in “teaching us charity,
the Gospel instructs us in the preferential respect due to the poor and the special situation they have in society: the more for-
tunate should renounce some of their rights so as to place their goods more generously at the service of others.” (A Call to
Action, #23).
A couple of reflection questions came to mind: do I want to build walls or do I want to live my life with the moto “In God
we Trust”? Can I stand in the presence of the Lord and say “Take what you have given me and give to those that have less
than I.” We are called not to give our surplus but to give what we have.

Reflexcion Del Viente dos Domingo en el Tiempo Ordinario C
Una de mis nuevas responsabilidades como director del Ministerio Social de la Parroquia es informar a la comunidad sobre Enseñanza
Social de la Iglesia Católica y ayudar a la comunidad y responder a las necesidades de nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Escribiré un párra-
fo para nuestro boletín sobre la Enseñanza Social de la Iglesia Católica y nuestra llamada a responder s3egún se conecta a nuestro Evan-
gelio semanal.
Hoy escuchamos sobre el “lugar de honor” y sobre quien es invitado a sentarse en ese lugar. Es la persona que se deshace de todo lo que
limita su relación con el que nos invitó y con el prójimo. La Enseñanza Social de la Iglesia Católica dice que “al enseñarnos la caridad,
los Evangelios nos instruyen en el respeto preferencial que merecen los pobres y la situación especial que tienen en la sociedad: los más
afortunados deben renunciar unos de sus derechos para que puedan más generosamente poner sus dones al servicio de los demás.” (A
Call to Action/Llamada a acción, # 23). Esto me trajo a mente unas preguntas de reflexión: ¿quiero edificar paredes o vivir mi vida con el
dicho que se encuentra en las monedas americanas “En Dios Pongo mi Confianza”? ¿Me puedo parar en la presencia del Señor y decirle
“Toma lo que me has dado y dáselo a los que tienen menos que yo.” Se nos ha pedido que no demos lo que nos sobra sino lo que tene-
mos.
