Reflec ons with the Word of God from your parish priests

St. Cecilia parishioners: let us pray believing in the power of prayer to fill all lives with an abundance of goodness, truth, and beauty as we are able in our Lord Jesus’ hallowed name!

August 2 – 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Read Ma hew: 14: 13-21 In this gospel we watch Jesus withdraw in quiet to pray a er hearing the tragic beheading and death of John the Bap st. God gives him consola on and Jesus in turn pays forward this Divine generosity to people who are suffering with anguish, hunger, and pain. In simplicity he takes the li le they offer, raises his eyes to heaven in prayer, and returns an abundance with more le overs than one could imagine.

“Hallowed be thy Name” is to praise God for His Spirit to live deeply in our faith to conquer evil, to create an abundance of love and generosity making us all be er people. During these difficult mes will you offer more me to pray with Jesus?

Pray for each other as we are his Church, all civic leaders from the president to local officials. Pray for an end: to the pandemic, the civil unrest, all injus ce and poverty, the opioid and substance abuse addic ons, the violence, the hopelessness, and many other concerns. Pray that we may restore our belief that we are one na on under God and for all evil to be conquered. Pray thy will be done.

Reflexiones con la Palabra de Dios de los párrocos

2 Augusto – 18th Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

¡Santa Cecilia, los feligreses oremos creyendo en el poder de la oración para llenar todas las vidas de una abundancia de bondad, verdad y belleza, ya que somos capaces en el nombre sagrado de nuestro Señor Je-sús! Leer Mateo: 13: 44-52 En este evangelio vemos a Jesús se re rarse en silencio para orar después de escuchar la trágica decapita-ción y muerte de Juan el Bau sta. Dios le da consuelo y Jesús a su vez paga esta generosidad divina a las per-sonas que sufren de angus a, hambre y dolor. En la simplicidad toma lo poco que ofrecen, eleva los ojos al cielo en oración y devuelve una abundancia con más sobras de las que uno podría imaginar.

"San ficado sea tu Nombre" es alabar a Dios para que Su Espíritu viva profundamente en nuestra fe para vencer el mal, para crear una abundancia de amor y generosidad que nos hace a todos mejores personas. Durante estos empos di ciles, ¿ofrecerá más empo para orar con Jesús?

Oren el uno por el otro, ya que somos su Iglesia, todos los líderes cívicos del presidente a los funcionarios locales. Oren por un fin: a la pandemia, a los disturbios civiles, a toda injus cia y pobreza, a las adicciones a los opioides y al abuso de sustancias, a la violencia, a la desesperanza y a muchas otras preocupaciones. Oren para que podamos restaurar nuestra creencia de que somos una sola nación bajo Dios y para que todo mal sea conquistado. Reza para que te hagas tu voluntad.

OUR DEEPEST NEEDS

The word of God serves up a tremendous feast for us today. Isaiah beckons all who hunger and thirst to come to the Lord for sa sfac on. The psalmist cries out, “The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs” (Psalm 145:16). Saint Paul tells us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Finally, in the Gospel, we hear the story of the miraculous feeding of over five thousand peo-ple from a mere five loaves and two fish. Most of us have our material needs met on a day-to-day basis. These scrip-tures, nevertheless, have much to say to the contemporary believer. We must ask ourselves, “Where are my deepest hungers? Where are my thirsts?” A er material needs are sa sfied and, in some cases, over-sa sfied, many people s ll experience a deep longing for spiritual balance and well-being. As the loaves and fish are mul plied in today’s Gos-pel, perhaps our prayer can be a longing for the sa sfac on of the deepest needs that only God can fill. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRAYER AND HUMILITY

Arm yourself with prayer rather than a sword, wear humili-ty rather than fine clothes. —St. Dominic

THIRST

You have put salt in our mouths that we may thirst for you. —St. Augus ne

NUESTRAS NECESIDADES MÁS PROFUNDAS

La Palabra de Dios nos brinda hoy una tremenda fiesta. Isaías llama a todos los que enen hambre y sed para que vengan a sa sfacerse en el Señor. El salmista proclama: “Abres tú la mano, y sacias de favores a todo viviente” (Salmo 145:16). San Pablo nos dice que nada puede separarnos del amor de Dios. Finalmente, en el Evangelio, escuchamos sobre el milagro de la mul plica-ción de los cinco panes y dos pescados con que se ali-mentaron a más de cinco mil personas. Nuestras necesi-dades diarias suelen estar cubiertas. Sin embargo, estas lecturas enen mucho que decir al creyente contemporá-neo. Debemos preguntarnos: “¿Dónde está mi hambre más profunda? ¿De qué estoy sediento?”. Una vez sa s-fechas las necesidades materiales y, en algunos casos, más que sa sfechas, mucha gente sigue ansiando tener equilibrio y bienestar espiritual. Al mul plicarse los panes y pescados en el Evangelio de hoy, tal vez nuestra ora-ción es anhelar que nuestras necesidades más hondas sean sa sfechas por el único que puede hacerlo: Dios.

FELICIDAD

Hijos míos, la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, las tres, en-cierran toda la felicidad de la humanidad en la erra. —San Juan María Vianney

ORACIÓN Y HUMILDAD

Ármate con oración en lugar de espada; vístete con humildad en lugar de ropa fina. —Santo Domingo de Guzmán
