MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of our community is rooted in Jesus the Christ. This
mission is to hear, respond to and proclaim the word of God as
found in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.
Through the Sunday Eucharist we are called to ongoing conversion
and personal spiritual formation. As a community, we are challenged
to provide mutual support for a Catholic Christian lifestyle and
are empowered to use our gifts to minister to the needs of others.
We commit our selves to the beatitudes, to the spiritual and
corporal works of mercy, and to minister to the larger communities
in which we live and work. We respect the dignity of every person,
at all ages and stages of life.
We hand on our Catholic heritage through catechesis, worship,
service and witness.
In carrying out this mission we further the kingdom of God in
our midst.

GODS LOGIC IS NOT OURS
Nobody will ever mistake the Bible for a logic textbook. We need
to remember this when we approach todays
readings. How can a God who knows no favorites have a chosen
people, or give us the disci-plines of fasting and almsgiving and
then instruct us not to talk about them? God, in love and
tenderness, knows how quickly we can get into a rut. The Spirit
inspires passages like the instruction from Sirach and the
parable in Luke to help drag us out of the rut of thinking that
Gods ways are our ways. Sirach poetically uses contrast to answer
the question, Whose prayer will reach the lofty clouds of heaven?
The answer? Those who are lowly on earth. Jesus amplifies this in
his parable of the Pharisee and the publican. It is Spirit-inspired
illogic that communicates todays message: God hears the voices of
those who are ignored by the rest of the world. Copyright J. S.
Paluch Co.
LA LGICA DE DIOS NO ES LA NUESTRA
Nadie confundira la Biblia con un libro de lgica. Recordmoslo
cuando meditemos sobre las lecturas de hoy. Cmo puede un Dios que
no tiene favoritismo escoger a un pueblo, o darnos la disciplina
del ayuno y la limosna y luego instruirnos a no hablar de ello?
Dios, amoroso y tierno, sabe cun pronto podemos caer en la rutina.
El Espritu inspira pasajes como la instruccin de Sircides y la
parbola de san Lucas para ayudarnos a salir de la rutina y
comprender que los caminos de Dios no son los nuestros. Sircides
poticamente usa contrastes para contestar la pregunta: Qu oracin
llegar hasta las nubes del cielo? La respuesta? La de los humildes
de la tierra. Jess amplifica esto en su parbola del fariseo y el
publicano. Es ilgicamente inspirada por el Espritu que comunica el
mensaje de hoy: Dios escucha la voz de los ignorados por el resto
del mundo. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Lumen Fidei La Luz de la Fe
En el prrafo de la semana pasada, hemos aprendido que la
presencia Santa de Dios es real y El ha probado esto con signos
visibles a travs de la historia de la humanidad. Cuando escogemos
amar a las cosas ms que a Dios no deja un vaco inmenso en nuestras
vidas. La ausencia de la fe y del amor de Dios no deja
completamente vacos y solos. Dios es real y porque no ama mucho
envi a su Hijo nico, Jesucristo, para salvarnos por medio de su
pasin, muerte y resurreccin. Esta es nuestra fe. Si creemos y las
practicamos, le mostramos nuestro amor y gratitud a Dios. Nuestra
fe en nuestro Seor Jesucristo es la que nos alimenta, nutre
nuestros cuerpos y nuestros mentes, nos fortalece y no conecta con
El a travs de la oracin y la alabanza. En el siguiente prrafo
aprenderemos ms acerca como Cristo es la imagen visible de la
presencia de Dios.
18. La plenitud a la que Jess lleva a la fe tiene otro aspecto
decisivo. Para la fe, Cristo no es slo aquel en quien creemos, la
manifestacin mxima del amor de Dios, sino tambin aquel con quien
nos unimos para poder creer. La fe no slo mira a Jess, sino que
mira desde el punto de vista de Jess, con sus ojos: es una
participacin en su modo de ver. En muchos mbi-tos de la vida
confiamos en otras personas que conocen las co-sas mejor que
nosotros. Tenemos confianza en el arquitecto que nos construye la
casa, en el farmacutico que nos da la medici-na para curarnos, en
el abogado que nos defiende en el tribu-nal. Tenemos necesidad
tambin de alguien que sea fiable y experto en las cosas de Dios.
Jess, su Hijo, se presenta como aquel que nos explica a Dios (cf.
Jn 1,18). La vida de Cristo su modo de conocer al Padre, de vivir
totalmente en relacin con l abre un espacio nuevo a la experiencia
humana, en el que podemos entrar. La importancia de la relacin
personal con Jess mediante la fe queda reflejada en los diversos
usos que hace san Juan del verbo credere. Junto a creer que es
verdad lo que Jess nos dice (cf. Jn 14,10; 20,31), san Juan usa
tambin las locuciones creer a Jess y creer en Jess. Creemos a Jess
cuando aceptamos su Palabra, su testimonio, porque l es veraz (cf.
Jn 6,30). Creemos en Jess cuando lo acogemos personalmente en
nuestra vida y nos confiamos a l, unindonos a l mediante el amor y
siguindolo a lo largo del camino (cf. Jn 2,11; 6,47; 12,44). Para
que pudisemos conocerlo, acogerlo y seguirlo, el Hijo de Dios ha
asumido nuestra carne, y as su visin del Padre se ha realizado
tambin al modo humano, mediante un camino y un recorrido temporal.
La fe cristiana es fe en la encarnacin del Verbo y en su
resurreccin en la carne; es fe en un Dios que se ha hecho tan
cercano, que ha entrado en nuestra historia. La fe en el Hijo de
Dios hecho hombre en Jess de Nazaret no nos separa de la realidad,
sino que nos permite captar su significado profundo, descubrir
cunto ama Dios a este mundo y cmo lo orienta incesantemente haca s;
y esto lleva al cristiano a comprometerse, a vivir con mayor
intensidad todava el camino sobre la tierra. Como pudimos ver en el
prrafo anterior, Jesucristo es la manifestacin completa del amor de
Dios por nosotros en el mundo. Cuando creemos en Cristo, no unimos
con Dios. Es nuestra unin con Cristo que no regresa a Dios el
Padre. Venimos de Dios y a travs de Cristo regresamos a Dios.
Necesitamos creer en Jesucristo porque El es quien realmente conoce
quien es Dios. Cristo es quien da a conocer a Dios a travs de Su
Santa presencia. Cristo es la Palabra eterna de Dios que se hizo
hombre. Es Jesucristo en el mundo porque El es la imagen visible de
Dios.
TT H EH E PP A S T O RA S T O R SS CC O L U M NO L U M N
Lumen Fidei - On the Light of Faith
In last week's paragraph, we learned that Gods Holy presence in
the world is real and He has proven this with visible signs
throughout human history. When we choose to love things more than
we love God it leaves us with a big void in our lives. The absence
of faith and love for God leaves us completely empty and alone. God
is real and because He loves us so much He sent His only begotten
Son, Jesus Christ, to save us by His passion, death and
resurrection. This is our faith. If we believe in it and practice
it, we show our love and gratitude to God. Our faith in our Lord
Jesus Christ is what feeds us, it nourishes our bodies and minds,
it strengthens us and connects us with Him through prayer and
worship. In the next paragraph, we will learn more about how Christ
is the visible image of Gods presence in the world.
18. This fullness which Jesus brings to faith has another
decisive aspect. In faith, Christ is not simply the one in whom we
believe, the supreme manifestation of Gods love; he is also the one
with whom we are united precisely in order to believe. Faith does
not merely gaze at Jesus, but sees things as Jesus himself sees
them, with his own eyes: it is a participation in his way of
seeing. In many areas in our lives we trust others who know more
than we do. We trust the architect who builds our home, the
pharmacist who gives us medicine for healing, the lawyer who
defends us in court. We also need someone trustworthy and
knowledgeable where God is concerned. Jesus, the Son of God, is the
one who makes God known to us (cf. Jn 1:18). Christs life, his way
of knowing the Father and living in complete and constant
relationship with him, opens up new and inviting vistas for human
experience. Saint John brings out the importance of a personal
relationship with Jesus for our faith by using various forms of the
verb "to believe". In addition to "believing that" what Jesus tells
us is true, John also speaks of "believing" Jesus and "believing
in" Jesus. We "believe" Jesus when we accept his word, his
testimony, because he is truthful. We "believe in" Jesus when we
personally welcome him into our lives and journey towards him,
clinging to him in love and following in his footsteps along the
way. To enable us to know,
accept and follow him, the Son of God took on our flesh. In this
way he also saw the Father humanly, within the setting of a journey
unfolding in time. Christian faith is faith in the incarnation of
the Word and his bodily resurrection; it is faith in a God who is
so close to us that he entered our human history. Far from
divorcing us from reality, our faith in the Son of God made man in
Jesus of Nazareth enables us to grasp realitys deepest meaning and
to see how much God loves this world and is constantly guiding it
towards himself. This leads us, as Christians, to live our lives in
this world with ever greater commitment and intensity. As we can
see in the above paragraph, Jesus Christ is the full manifestation
of Gods Love for us in the world. When we believe in Christ, we are
united with God. It is our union with Christ that takes us back to
God the Father. We came from God and through Christ we go back to
God. There is a necessity to believe in Jesus Christ because He is
the one who truly knows who God is. Christ is the One who makes God
known to us through His holy presence. Christ is the eternal Word
of God that became flesh. It is Jesus Christ that allows us to see
the reality of God in the world because He is the visible image of
God.

YEAR OF FAITH In this new universe, the heavenly Jerusalem, God
will have his dwelling among men. He will wipe away
every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither
shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the
former things have passed away. . . For man, this consummation will
be the final realization of the unity of the human race, which God
willed from creation and of which the pilgrim Church has been in
the nature of sacrament. Those who are united with Christ will form
the community of the redeemed, the holy city of God, the Bride, the
wife of the Lamb. She will not be wounded any longer by sin,
stains, self-love, that destroy or wound the earthly community. The
beatific vision, in which God opens himself in an inexhaustible way
to the elect, will be the ever-flowing well-spring of happiness,
peace, and mutual communion. (CCC, n. 1044-1045).
P A R K I N G L O T S A F E T Y With the renovation of the
church we are faced with a reduction of parking spaces . We ask
that you use extra safety and patience when arriving and de-parting
the parking lot for weekend Mass and
religious education classes held on Sunday. There are many
children in the parking lot, so please be especially alert. Also,
you may have to wait for a parking space es-pecially for the 8:30
am Mass and before the 11:15 am Mass. Please allow a little bit of
extra time in your schedule so that we can avoid any accidents.

ST LAWRENCE CONFERENCE IN SERVICE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME In this Sundays Gospel, the
tax collectors prayer allows God to be God and so allows God to
pour mercy into his heart. When we pray and give alms to the poor,
we allow Gods mercy to be poured into their hearts.
In the month of October, through your gifts, the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul was able to bring Gods love and mercy to 59
families and individuals, providing such help as food, emergency
utility payments, beds, clothing, as-sisting with emergency rent
bill payments, fuel cards, bus passes and other basic needs. Thank
you for your continued blessings and gifts.
CONFERENCE MEETING DATES November 13, 2013: Parish Center
Meeting Room 7:00 pm. November 27, 2013: Parish Center Meeting Room
7:00 pm.
BECOME A MEMBER OF THE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL The St.
Lawrence Conference of St. Vincent de Paul is seek-ing individuals
who want to help people in need. If you can spare a few hours to
share your time and talents doing the caring work of Jesus, please

AO DE FE En este "universo nuevo" (Ap 21, 5), la Jerusaln
celestial, Dios tendr su morada entre los hombres. "Y enjugar toda
lgrima de sus ojos, y no habr ya muerte ni habr llanto, ni gritos
ni fatigas, porque el mundo viejo ha pasado." (Ap 21, 4; cf. 21,
27). Para el hombre esta consumacin ser la realizacin final de la
unidad del gnero humano, querida por Dios desde la creacin y de la
que la Iglesia peregrina era "como el sacra-mento" (LG 1). Los que
estn unidos a Cristo formarn la comunidad de los rescatados, la
Ciudad Santa de Dios (Ap 21, 2), "la Esposa del Cordero" (Ap 21,
9). Ya no ser herida por el pecado, las manchas (cf. Ap 21, 27), el
amor propio, que destruyen o hieren la comunidad terrena de los
hom-bres. La visin beatfica, en la que Dios se manifestar de modo
inagotable a los elegidos, ser la fuente inmensa de felicidad, de
paz y de comunin mutua. (CCC, n. 1044-1045). SEGURIDAD EN EL
ESTACIONAMIENTO Con la renovacin de la Parroquia tenemos menos
estacionamientos disponibles. Les pedimos un poco de paciencia y
cuidado al llegar y salir de las Misas del fin de semana; ya que
tenemos muchos nios presentes durante esas horas. Por favor
mantnganse alertas. Probablemente tengan que esperar por un
estacio-namiento disponible para las Misas de las 8:30 y 11:15 am;
por favor disponga de tiempo para que no ande a la carrera y
evitemos accidentes.

YEAR OF FAITH: AUGUST 2013
True Wealth, True Grit: Faith's Journey Continues
AO DE LA FE: AGOSTO DE 2013
Riqueza verdadera, valor verdadero: el camino de la fe
contina
Meditacin
Por la fe, muchos cristianos han promovido acciones en favor de
la justicia, para hacer concreta la Palabra del Seor, que ha
venido
a proclamar la liberacin de los oprimidos y un ao de gracia para
todos (ver Benedicto XVI, La puerta de la fe, 13).
A mediados de agosto celebramos la Asuncin de Mara, la "Estrella
de la Nueva Evangelizacin" del beato Juan Pablo II. El Prefacio
para la Asuncin de la Santsima Virgen Mara la celebra como la
"imagen de la Iglesia" que viene a la perfeccin. Agradecidamen-te,
ella es tambin "esperanza segura y consuelo" para nosotros, pues
los evangelios de agosto ciertamente ofrecen un desafo para los
peregrinos en el camino de la fe. Qu distinto es el servicio
altruista de Mara en comparacin con el egosmo del "necio rico" en
el Evangelio de Lucas. Aunque su fortuna es el fruto del trabajo
honesto y difcil, el "necio" incorrectamente se define a s mismo y
su valor solo en trminos de sus posesiones. Pero los discpulos de
Jess deben tener una perspectiva distinta y ms pro-funda de la
vida, recordando que un da su Maestro regresar de repente. La
vigilia por ese momento desconocido nos har dili-gentes en el
servicio de Cristo cuando nos venga diariamente en las necesidades
de nuestros prjimos y desconocidos, a quienes tenemos que tratar
con reverencia como siervos iguales de Dios. Ser testigos as, a
imagen de Jess, es como jugar con el fuego. Es posible que tengamos
experimentar la angustia ardiente de elegir lo que es correcto
sobre lo que es fcil, an a punto de redefinir nuestras relaciones
ms personales. De ser as, es intil preguntarse: "Quin se salvar?"
Es mejor preguntar: "Podr seguir yo el camino de la fe
fielmente?"
Misin Examinar honestamente y, si es necesario, realinear mis
valores y prioridades, mi interpretacin de lo que es el xito y el
valor, mis metas y relaciones personales. --Peter Scagnelli,

AO DE LA FE: SEPTIEMBRE DE 2013 Virtudes para practicar y
obstculos para evitar en el camino de fe Meditacin: La fe y el amor
se necesitan mutuamente. En efecto, muchos cristianos dedican sus
vidas con amor a quien est solo, marginado o excluido, como el
primero a quien hay que atender y el ms importante que socorrer,
porque precisamente en l se refleja el rostro mismo de Cristo (ver
Benedicto XVI, La puerta de la fe, 14). El "Ao de los Programas" de
la parroquia se intensifica justo cuando el "Ao de la Fe" de la
Iglesia casi termina. Pero la fe, como el papa Benedicto nos ha
recordado, es un camino de toda la vida. El Evangelio de los dos
primeros domingos de septiembre mandan que abracemos la humildad,
el prerrequisito innegociable para la comunin con Dios en la oracin
y con nuestros prjimos en el servicio de sacrificio personal (ver
el Catecismo, 2559, 2631), y que no permitamos que nada impida
nuestro seguimiento de Jess. A mediados de septiembre, el "Domingo
de los objetos perdidos" nos pregunta: "Es mi retrato de Dios igual
al de Jess?", es decir, es un retrato de un pastor que arriesga
todo para salvar una oveja perdida, una mujer que limpia toda la
casa para encontrar una moneda perdida, un padre que se olvida de
errores pasados y da la bienvenida a su hijo? Si as es, ha hecho
este Ao de la Fe que yo "parezca" ms ese Dios? El ltimo domingo de
septiembre, Ams, el "Profeta de Justicia" de Israel, se une con
Jess en avisar-nos sobre los peligros de la riqueza. Tenemos
nosotros, los "hijos de la luz", el vivo deseo de servir a otros
como los "hijos del mundo" desean servirse a s mismos? No es
suficiente simplemente "no hacer dao". En la parbola de Jess, el
hombre rico no le hizo nada para hacer dao a Lzaro; su pecado fue
hacer nada en absoluto! Misin: Cambiar todo lo que contradice la
humildad que Jess espera de sus discpulos; buscar lo que est
perdido; perdonar sin condiciones; abrir los ojos para que pueda
ver y servir a Cristo en mi prjimo. --Peter Scagnelli, Copyright
