GIFTS OF STEWARDSHIP

8th Sunday in Ordinary Time: February 26

That through our generosity we keep God first and money second. “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the

one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (material wealth).” (Matthew 6:24)

For many people, God and money run “neck and neck” as their first priority. Making money and spending money becomes the center of their life and they actually become a slave to money.

The solution— become more generous. Giving money to Church and charity frees us from slavery to money and from making

money a “god” before God.

8o domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 26 de Febrero Que a través de nuestra generosidad tengamos a Dios

primero y segundo al dinero. “Nadie puede servir a dos amos; porque o bien odiará a uno y amara al otro, o se dedicará a uno y despreciara

al otro. No puedes servir a Dios y a las riquezas (riquezas materiales).” (Mateo 6:24)

Para mucha gente, Dios y el dinero corren “cabeza a cabeza” como su primera prioridad. Ganar dinero y gastar dinero se

convierte en el centro de sus vidas y en realidad se convierten en esclavos del dinero. La solución– ser mas generoso. Dar dinero a la Iglesia y a la caridad nos libera de la esclavitud del dinero y

de hacer del dinero un “dios” ante Dios.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION/ REFLECCIONES DEL ESPIRITU DE SERVICIO

The Sacrament of Anointing of the

Sick is offered on the First Thursday

of the month at 8:15 A.M. Mass.

The sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is offered for a person of the Catholic faith; an adult or a child over the age of seven who is seriously ill, or for a person about to receive surgery for a serious condition, and for those suffering the difficulties and weakness of old age.

LITURGY CORNER/MENSAJE DE LITURGIA

ANOINTING OF THE SICK MARCH 2ND

Responsorial Psalm The Responsorial Psalm follows the silence after the first reading. Occasionally this is taken from other parts of the Scripture, but ordinarily it is from the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament. It is designed in the form of dialogue. The cantor sings the antiphon and all repeat it. The verses are sung by the cantor; after each verse the antiphon is sung again by the assembly. Occasionally, for lack of a cantor, the psalm is recited instead of sung. However, the Responsorial Psalm should be sung.

El Salmo Responsorial

El salmo responsorial sigue al silencio después de la primera lectura. Ocasionalmente, esta tomado de otras partes de la Escritura pero, ordinariamente, proviene del Libro de los Salmos en el Antiguo Testamento. Esta diseñado en forma de dialogo. El cantor entona la antífona y todos la repiten. Los versos son entonados por el cantor y después de cada verso, la antífona es cantada de nuevo por la asamblea. En algunas ocasiones, a falta de cantor, el salmo es recitado en lugar de ser cantado. Sin embargo, el salmo responsorial debería ser cantado.

Our parish goal for 2017 is $ 138,000.00. With every parish family’s full participation, we will surely exceed this amount and do our share to help so many in need, advancing the work of the Church in our community.

A través de su generoso apoyo al DSF, proporcionamos el aliento y cuidado de Cristo a las muchas y urgentes necesidades que no pueden ser atendidas individualmente, o por una sola parroquia. La meta de nuestra parroquia para el año 2017 es de $ 138,000.00. Con la completa participación de cada familia en todas y cada una de las parroquias, seguramente rebasaremos esta cantidad y pondremos nuestro grano de arena para ayudar a tantos que lo necesitan, cumpliendo con la labor de la Iglesia en nuestra comunidad.

LENTEN GUIDELINES/ GUIAS PARA LA CUARESMA

Lent begins on Wednesday, March 1, 2017. Below are the guidelines of Lenten observance for the faithful in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of fast and abstinence. Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence.

As outlined on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' website on Lenten fasting and abstinence, "fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year.

If possible, the fast on Good Friday is continued until the Easter Vigil (on Holy Saturday night) as the 'paschal fast' to honor the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus, and to prepare ourselves to share more fully and to celebrate more readily his Resurrection.

Fridays in Lent are obligatory days of complete abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th year.

El miércoles de Ceniza y el viernes Santo, son días de ayuno y abstinencia. Todos los Viernes de Cuaresma son días de abstinencia.

Si es posible, el ayuno del Viernes Santo se debe de continuar hasta la Vigilia Pascual (la noche del Sábado de Gloria) como el “ayuno pascual” para honrar los que sufren y la muerte de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y para prepararnos para celebrar la Resurrección de nuestro Señor más centrados.

El ayuno es compromiso de todas las personas de 18 hasta los 59 años de edad, a menos que tengan problemas de salud. Durante los días de ayuno, se permite una comida completa y dos comidas livianas, suficientes para mantenerse fuertes de acuerdo a nuestras necesidades. No se permiten bocadillos entre comidas aunque si se puede tomar líquidos. La abstinencia es compromiso para todas las personas que han cumplido 14 años de edad, a menos que tengan problemas de salud. En los días de abstinencia no se permite comer carne. La iglesia anima fuertemente a observar la abstinencia los viernes, pero en el caso de no observarse, no conlleva pecado.

The Pan African Ministry invites all parishioners to a Lenten Retreat on Saturday, March 4th beginning at 9 am-4:00 pm in the Family Life Center. The speaker will be Fr. Chris Unachukwu, M.S.P. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. For more information, please contact Frances Nwora 713-894-6268. El Ministerio Pan Africano invita a todo los feligreses a un Retiro Cuaresmal el sábado, 4 de marzo a las 9:00 am - 4:00 pm en el Centro Parroquial de la familia.
