JOHN THE BAPTIST

“A man named John was sent from God. He came for testi-mony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.”

John 1:6-9

PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SICK AND THEIR CAREGIVERS IN OUR PARISH

Pray that these parishioners may find comfort and healing in Christ: Cynthia Buenviaje, Javier Arreola, Daniel Garcia,

Alan Gonzalez, Cheryl Pressley-Smith, Rose Hinojos, Bill Dickson, and Ed Ziller

Please call Jenny Marquez at 320-5719 to add or remove names from this list.

Words of St. John the Baptist:

“Behold, one is coming after me;

I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals

of his feet.” Acts 13:25

Stewardship is a lifestyle; it’s not a pro-gram or a process. It’s how we are called to live our lives twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! It challenges us to live “God-centered” lives, not “self-centered” lives. Reflect on your daily activities. Do you do them for the glory of God or for the glory of your own name?

Palabras de San Juan Bautista:

“He aquí, uno viene detrás de mí; no soy digno de

desatar las sandalias de sus pies”. Hechos 13:25

La Corresponsabilidad es un estilo de vida, no es un programa o un proceso. ¡Así es como somos llamados a vivir nuestras vi-das las veinticuatro horas del día, los siete días de la semana! Nos desafía a vivir vi-das “centradas en Dios”, no vidas “egocéntricas”. Reflexiona sobre tus ac-tividades diarias, ¿las haces para la gloria de Dios o para la gloria de tu propio nom-bre?

Gospel: Luke 1:57-66, 80 Adults: Do you recall a time when you chose God’s will over your own? Children: What is it that God is calling you to do today? Evangelio: Lucas 1:57-66, 80 Adultos: ¿recuerdan una época en la que escogieron la voluntad de Dios sobre la suya? Niños: ¿Qué es lo que Dios te está llamando a ha-cer hoy?

That we turn our daily focus to God and others to develop a “God-centered” lifestyle.

Que convertimos nuestro enfoque diario en Dios y en otros para desarrollar un estilo de vida “centrado en Dios”.

Your support of the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal demonstrates your commitment to the Church and helps us continue to evangelize, make disci-ples in our community and to sustain the Dioce-san Ministries.

Your sacrificial gift to support the 2018 Bishop’s Ministry campaign is vital to the success of the Bishop’s Ministry Appeal; it provides and pre-serves many diocesan programs that support your parish and our communities.
