Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time August 25, 2019
FOCUS: Strive to enter through the narrow gate. Today we are given fair warning by Jesus that we should strive earnestly to enter the kingdom of God, and not simply assume a place will be reserved for us. So let’s make an effort, as we travel the path of disci-pleship, to travel lightly, unencumbered by unneces-sary attachments to the things of this world. LITURGY OF THE WORD: In the first reading, God proclaims that he comes to gather all nations. The second reading exhorts the Christian community not to disdain discipline, as it originates from God’s love. In the Gospel from Luke, Jesus tells his followers to strive for salvation through the narrow gate. REFLECTION: When we enter the final and everlast-ing banquet, Jesus tells us, we will be surprised at those enjoying the feast. God has a pretty broad vision and we will be surprised at those who "made it" through the narrow gate. If we accept this vision of the end time, then we should start preparing for it now. We need a change of glasses; we need to look at our world through biblical lens and act accordingly. So we ask ourselves: • When I hear the phrase "God’s people" whom do I
think are included? • How does what Jesus says broaden my notion of
those "chosen" by God?
God bless our newly baptized Christopher Anthony Sannella
New Catechists are needed for St. William PREP Parish Religious Education Program Over a hundred children, 1st through 7th grade, will sign up this Fall to learn more about Jesus and the Catholic faith. YOU can help them learn and grow by becoming a catechist for Faith Formation. As you nur-ture the faith of our young, you will learn and grow as well!

May God bless our students and their teachers as they return to school and to their studies.
My name is James “Jimmy” Doroba. My family joined St. William Parish January 2016. We were long time parishioners of St. John the Baptist in Manayunk. I am the 4th of six chil-dren. You may have seen me as an altar server at the noon Mass, and the Easter Vigil, and other special occa-sions such as Confirmation. I also
played the drums with the choir for the beginning Centennial Mass. I grew up in the Roxborough section of Philadelphia, and still reside there. From a young age, I enjoyed being an altar server, and thought about becoming a priest. I have always felt a deep closeness to Jesus, and His Mother, Mary. As I grew into a young adult, those feelings turned into a calling. I have been accepted as a seminarian (First Year College), and begin my journey to the priesthood on August 20, 2019. I ask that you keep me in your prayers as I continue for the next nine years to study and develop to become the best priest I can be. I too will keep all of you in my daily prayers. Thank you and God Bless. Jimmy

DOMINGO, AGOSTO 25, 2019 VIGÉSIMO PRIMER DOMINGO,
TIEMPO ORDINARIO "ESFÚERCENSE EN ENTRAR POR LA PUERTA ES-TRECHA "! Una de las preguntas que le hicieron a Jesús mientras caminaba a Jerusalén fue: "Señor, serán pocos los que se salven? Jesús les dijo: "esfúercense en entrar por la puerta estrecha". En una comunidad cristiana, formada por judíos y gentiles, era normal que hubieran tensiones. Era difícil que un judío pudiera entender que los gentiles se podían salvar con el mismo derecho que él. La respuesta de Jesús es sabia. Lo que es necesario es que cada persona asuma su propia personalidad ante la oferta gratuita de Dios que quiere " que todos se salven". Así, todo cristiano debe esforzarse, pelear y combatir para entrar por la puerta estrecha. En otra ocasión Jesús dijo que solo los esforzados podrán entrar en el reino de los cielos. El camino de la salvación es incompatible con una vida facil. Nos preguntamos : nos esforzamos cada día en ser auténticos cristianos?
