Canonization of Mother Teresa

The canonization will be held on September 4, 2016 in Rome during the Sunday Mass celebrated as part of the Jubilee for workers and volunteers of mercy.

By her example and through her intercession, may Mother Teresa inspire many to give their ‘hearts to love and their hands to serve’, starting with those closest to them. May we all continue to live and deepen our awareness of being in need of mercy and our willingness to extend mercy in our communities, in our families and in our service of the poor.

With much gratitude let us pray, Blessed ~ and future Saint ~ Teresa, pray for us!

God’s Plan for Giving Tithing is God’s plan to support His Church.

Full tithing means 10% of income to God. We ask half of this or 5% for your Parish Church.

HUMILITY

Have you ever been in a group of people - maybe on a tour, at a social gathering, or at church - and discovered that you have just been talking with a well-known author, corporate CEO, great scholar, or politician? Your first thought is the hope that you didn’t say anything to embarrass yourself; but your second thought is how much they seemed like such “regular” folks. What is it that makes people seem so “regular”? Today’s readings give us a clue when they stress the importance of humility.

It is so hard for us not to tell the first person who will listen how busy we are, how hard we work, how much money we donate, and how important our job titles are. We think these accolades make a difference to people, and if we don’t tell them, how will they ever know? But if our actions demonstrate our values, people will recognize our worth on their own. The words of Jesus show us how much better it is to let someone else recognize our worth than to be embarrassed because someone did not. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DOMINGO VIGESIMO SEGUNDO

"EL QUE SE HUMILLA SERÁ EXALTADO"! La humildad no es valorada por nuestra sociedad. Nos gusta honores, privilegios, poder. Jesús nos propone la humildad que nos hace descubrir la necesidad de Dios, de su ayuda, de su misericordia. El orgulloso no necesita de nadie, ni de Dios. La humildad es la verdad! Necesitamos de Dios y de los demás. La virtud que más necesitamos es la humildad.
