SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Decimo Séptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

JULY 28th 2019

PIDIENDO AYUDA Las beatitudes alaban al pobre de espíritu. Una de las características de quienes son pobres de espíritu es su habilidad para pedir ayuda; ellos saben cuando otros pueden proveerles lo que les hace falta. Las lec-turas de hoy nos animan a practicar la pobreza de es-píritu pidiéndole a Dios aquello que necesitamos. ¿Qué podría ser más natural pedir a Dios que buenas cosas? Dios es, después de todo, el hacedor de la bon-dad y el dador de buenas cosas. Pidiendo ayuda a Dios nos pone en una conver-sación con Dios. Esta conversación o conversaciones pueden ser de muchas formas. La lectura del libro del Génesis muestra a Abraham negociando con Dios de una manera graciosa, pero como un hábil negociador; por otro lado la carta de san Pablo a los colosenses alaba a Dios respondiéndonos aún cuan-do no lo merecemos. En el Evangelio de san Lucas, Jesús no solo nos da las palabras y frases para usar en nuestras conversaciones con Dios (el Padre Nues-tro), sino también promete que Dios siempre escu-chará nuestras oraciones.

ASKING FOR HELP The Beatitudes praise the poor in spirit. One characteristic of those who are poor in spirit is their ability to ask for help; they know when others can provide what they lack. Today’s readings encourage us to practice poverty in spirit by asking God for what we need. What could be more natural than to ask God for good things? God is, after all, the inven-tor of goodness and the giver of all good things. Asking God for help puts us in conversation with God. These conversations take many forms. The reading from Genesis shows Abraham bantering with God like a skilled negotiator, while Saint Paul’s letter to the Colossians praises God for answering us even when we don’t deserve it. In Saint Luke’s Gos-pel, Jesus not only gives us words to use in our con-versations with God (the Our Father), but also prom-ises that God always listens to our prayers. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SEMINARIAN’S MESSAGE —Treville Belcher MENSAJE DEL SEMINARISTA– Treville Belcher

Jeremiah 29:13 Psalm 119:10 Keep Asking In today’s culture, with our quick and effortless access to the internet and social media, with so much that is easily and readily available to us, “patience” can be considered something of the past. We instinctively wonder “Why should I wait? Why not now?” We may also wonder “Why do I need to ask someone else? Why can’t I get it myself? If I must ask, how do I know I will get exactly what I want?” Our response can be to slip into consumer-based lifestyles. “I get what I want by myself,” becomes our motto for our day-to-day activities and even our relationships. It is then easy to see how this mindset affects our relationship with God. We no longer see God as a Father who wants to pro-vide but as a lazy bystander who is indifferent towards even our basic needs. The readings this weekend focus on God the Father’s invita-tion to a relationship. In the first reading, Abraham repeat-edly requests for God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if he can find a certain number of righteous people, lowering the number with every request. Initially it seems as if God keeps changing His mind. But looking closely we see that God never objects to Abraham asking. On the contrary God consents to Abraham’s repetitive asking. It’s almost as if he gives Abraham a blank check and tests him to learn the depths of God’s providence. He WANTS Abraham to ask. We may question, “If God knows everything, why does Abraham have to ask?” On a more personal level, we may also question, “If God knows everything, why do I have to ask?” The act of asking makes us more aware of our need to ask. It creates a sense of identity. It establishes a relationship. I need. I ask. Another provides. I receive. Asking also requires an amount of effort or giving of one-self. This builds on a relationship because true relationships require mutual effort. This distinguishes us from plants, animals, or robots, who are designed with basic functions, senses, or programing, and are incapable of having true, self-giving relationships. We are not robots that are made for fixing. We are children made for relationship, specifical-ly with Our Father. Our Blessed Lord makes this clear in the Gospel. In the Our Father, He specifically instructs us to ask the Father to “give us this day our daily bread.” He makes our asking a crucial part of prayer. He orients our prayer as a relation-ship with the Father. He teaches that our prayer is not a “once and never again” event but continuous acts of asking and receiving. In doing so, He reveals to us the true nature of God. God the Father ALWAYS desires to give us what we need. He ALWAYS desires to be in relationship with us. In continuously providing for us, God reveals that what He truly gives us is Himself. Our Blessed Lord confirms this. The Father readily gives us the Holy Spirit, the very Love of the Father and the Son. He wants to bring us in total com-munion with Himself. All we must do is ask. Let us not fall into sadness, thinking ourselves unimportant to God. Nor let us fall into laziness, thinking no effort in our relationship with the Father is required. In Christ, we have received the Spirit of adoption. We are beloved sons and daughters of the Father through Baptism. Let us humble ourselves and ask Him to reveal Himself more, especially in the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist. Trust in the promise of Christ. Let us ask…and we shall receive.

Jeremias 29:13 Salmos 119:10 Sigue Pidiendo En la cultura actual, con nuestro acceso rápido y sin esfuerzo al Internet y las redes sociales, con tanto que es fácil y fácil-mente disponible para nosotros, la "paciencia" puede consid-erarse como algo del pasado. Instintivamente nos pregun-tamos "¿Por qué debería esperar? ¿Por qué no ahora?" También podemos preguntarnos "¿Por qué tengo que pregun-tarle a otra persona? ¿Por qué no puedo conseguirlo yo mis-mo? Si tengo que preguntar, ¿cómo sé que voy a conseguir exactamente lo que quiero?" Nuestra respuesta puede llegar a estar en estilos de vida basados en el consumo. " Yo solo con-sigo lo que quiero", se convierte en nuestro lema para nuestras actividades diarias e incluso nuestras relaciones. Entonces es fácil ver cómo esta mentalidad afecta nuestra relación con Dios. Ya no vemos a Dios como un Padre que quiere proveer, sino como un transeúnte perezoso que es indiferente incluso hacia nuestras necesidades básicas. Las lecturas de este fin de semana se centran en la invitación de Dios Padre a una relación. En la primera lectura, Abraham pide repetidamente que Dios perdone a Sodoma y Gomorra si es que puede encontrar un cierto número de personas rectas, disminuyendo el número en cada solicitud. Inicialmente pare-ce como si Dios no dejara de cambiar de opinión. Pero miran-do de cerca vemos que Dios nunca se opone a que Abraham pregunte. Por el contrario, Dios consiente la repetitiva pregun-ta de Abraham. Es casi como si le diera a Abraham un cheque en blanco y lo pone a prueba para aprender las profundidades de la providencia de Dios. El QUIERE que Abraham pregunte. Podemos preguntar: "Si Dios lo sabe todo, ¿por qué Abraham tiene que preguntar?" En un nivel más personal, también po-demos preguntar: "Si Dios lo sabe todo, ¿por qué tengo que preguntar?" El acto de pedir nos hace más conscientes de nuestra necesi-dad de pedir. Yo necesito. Yo pido. Otro provee. Yo recibo. Pedir también requiere una cantidad de esfuerzo o entrega de uno mismo. Esto se basa en una relación porque las relaciones verdaderas requieren un esfuerzo mutuo. Esto nos distingue de las plantas, los animales o los robots, que están diseñados con funciones básicas, sentidos o programación, y son incapa-ces de tener relaciones verdaderas y entregadas. No somos robots que están hechos para la arreglarse. Somos hijos he-chos para una relación, específicamente con Nuestro Padre. Nuestro Santísimo Señor lo deja claro en el Evangelio. En el Padre Nuestro, nos instruye específicamente a pedir al Padre que "nos dé hoy nuestro pan de cada día". Hace que nuestra petición sea una parte crucial de la oración. Orienta nuestra oración como una relación con el Padre. Enseña que nuestra oración no es un acontecimiento de "una vez y nunca más", sino de actos continuos de preguntar y recibir. Al hacerlo, nos revela la verdadera naturaleza de Dios. Dios Padre SIEMPRE desea darnos lo que necesitamos. SIEMPRE desea estar en relación con nosotros. Al proveernos continuamente, Dios revela que lo que realmen-te nos da es a El mismo. Nuestro Bendito Señor lo confirma. El Padre nos da fácilmente el Espíritu Santo, el mismo Amor del Padre y del Hijo. Quiere traernos en total comunión consi-go mismo. Todo lo que debemos hacer es pedir. No caigamos en la tristeza, pensándonos sin importancia para Dios. Tampoco caigamos en la pereza, no se requiere pensar en nuestra relación con el Padre. En Cristo, hemos recibido el Espíritu de adopción. Somos hijos e hijas amados del Padre por medio del Bautismo. Humillémonos y pidámosle a El que se revele más, especialmente en los Sacramentos de Reconci-liación y de la Eucaristía. Confíen en la promesa de Cristo. Pidamos... y recibiremos

Stroke Scan Plus will be at St. HENRY - LAKE CHARLES - LA on August 9, 2019 to provide life-saving, wellness ultrasound screenings. It is important to perform preventive maintenance for ourselves yearly. Do you have high blood pressure or high cholester-ol, diabetes, or a family history of heart dis-ease, stroke, abdominal aneurysm or internal can-cers? If so, do not miss this opportunity for early detec-tion of a possibly serious disease. These screenings are typically NOT performed at your annual check-up, and insurance companies may not pay for them unless you are symptomatic. Diagnostic versions of these screenings cost thousands of dollars in a hospital. Stroke Scan Plus will be offering them to you for $139 for all 7 com-bined ultrasound screenings (Stroke, AAA, AFIB & or-gans). Insurance is NOT necessary and appointments are limited. Stroke Scan will be available at the the church for you to register on July 27 & 28, or please call 832-437-7355 or toll free 1-866-935-7226 to schedule an ap-pointment today for you or a loved one. The screenings will take place in/at the community room. Prevention is your key to quality health! www.strokescan.com.

El August 9, 2019, Stroke Scan Plus realizará exámenes preventivos vasculares con ultrasonido en el community room. Se examinarán dos áreas del cuerpo (Paquete Vascular): las arterias caróti-das del cuello en busca de placas de grasa, lo cual es la causa #1 de ataques cerebrales; la aorta ab-dominal baja en busca de aneurismas. Estos exámenes cuestan regularmente, en los hospitales, entre $500 a $1,200 cada uno. Stroke Scan ofrecerá dichos exámenes por solo $139 (costo total). Como cortesía, junto con el Paquete Vascular, también se examinarán la tiroides, hígado, vesícula y riñones, sin ningún costo adicional. Si usted quiere beneficiarse de estos exámenes, Stroke Scan estará aquí, en la iglesia, el día July 27 & 28, para que usted se registre. También puede llamar a solicitar una cita al teléfono: 1-866-935-7226 o 832-437-355. www.strokescan.com.
