NEW PARISHIONERS — WELCOME!

Registration forms are available on the table in back of church or on our website.

Please join our parish school, St. Clement of Rome, in celebrating its 50th Anniversary, on Thursday, August 30 at 7:00 PM in the church. Mass will be celebrated by Archbishop Gregory Aymond. A reception will follow in the gym. The school will also be open to visitors during the reception. Alumni and former faculty and staff are especially invited. Please share this invitation with all who may wish to attend.

ON THE ROAD From the time they were called by Jesus, the disciples led a wandering life. They must have watched closely as he preached to crowds both large and small, cured the sick, and forgave sins. He also spent time teaching them in private, but they did not always understand what he was telling them. You might think the disciples did not know enough to be trusted to act on Jesus’ behalf. We hear today, however, that Jesus did send them out, but with special instructions. First, they had to travel in teams of two. Second, they were to travel light, wearing a stout pair of sandals and without a single extra item of baggage to slow them down. Third, they were to accept whatever accommodation was offered them, and not go looking for something better. Finally, they were not to force their attentions on the unwilling, but instead to move on to the next place. So ready or not, willing or not, excited or nervous, they set off in teams to do the work of healing, forgiving, and teaching. On the road of life we also follow as disciples of the Lord, we do better when we work with other people. We can pray in private, read our Bible alone, follow particular devotions on our own, and these are all good for building up our spiritual life, but our faith only flowers when we share it in the community. Parishes rely on groups of committed people to serve. Some ministries serve other parishioners, such as ministries of the altar, wedding and bereavement ministries, and religious faith formation. Others serve people in the wider community, such as RCIA teams, returning Catholics committees, evangelization groups, the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, community blood drives, or Habitat for Humanity. Join a ministry and live a fuller life!

DE CAMINO Desde el momento en que Jesús los llamó la vida de los discípulos se convirtió en itinerante. Es probable que estuvieran cerca mientras Jesús hablaba a las grandes muchedumbres y a los grupos pequeños de personas, cuando curó a los enfermos y perdonó pecados. Jesús también pasó tiempo enseñándoles en privado, pero ellos no siempre entendían lo que les decía. Bien podíamos pensar que los discípulos no sabían lo suficiente como para confiarles actuar en nombre de Jesús. Hoy, sin embargo, escuchamos que Jesús los envió con instrucciones especiales. Primero, tenían que viajar en dúo. Segundo, tenían que viajar ligero, solamente con las sandalias que llevaban puestas y sin ningún otro artículo que hiciera su camino más lento. Tercero, debían aceptar cualquier alojamiento que se les ofreciera y no ir en busca de algo mejor. Finalmente, no debían demorarse con quienes no los recibieran, sino seguir su camino hacia el próximo lugar. Y así, aunque no se hubieran sentido preparados o dispuestos, estuvieran nerviosos y entusiasmados, salieron en dúos para curar, perdonar y enseñar. En el camino de la vida nosotros también seguimos al Señor como discípulos suyos y llevamos mejor a cabo nuestra misión cuando trabajamos con otras personas. Podemos orar en privado, leer la Biblia a solas y hacer devociones particulares; todo esto es bueno para nuestra vida espiritual, pero nuestra fe florece sólo cuando la compartimos con la comunidad. Las parroquias dependen de grupos de personas comprometidas a servir. Algunos ministerios están dedicados al servicio de los mismos parroquianos, como acólitos, preparación para el matrimonio, el ministerio de consolación y la formación religiosa. Otros ministerios van más allá de la parroquia, tales como el equipo del RICA, los comités dedicados a los católicos que regresan, los grupos de evangelización, la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl, donación de sangre y Habitat for Humanity. ¡Únete a un ministerio y goza de una vida más realizada!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Mañana celebramos la fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, reconocida en Chile como Maipú. Chile es un país con mucha industria marinera y la Virgen del Carmen es la patrona de los marineros por el peligro al cual se exponen en el mar. Los frailes Carmelitas han difundido la devoción a la Virgen del monte Carmelo desde el siglo XIII. En aquella época María regaló el escapulario al general de los Carmelitas, Simón Stock, prometiendo que todos los que lo usasen serían recibidos por ella en el cielo, evitando así el infierno. Con el tiempo el escapulario Carmelitano se modificó para uso de todo cristiano. Por esto ella es patrona de todo oficio que tiene peligro de muerte como el de los soldados, camioneros, pilotos, troqueros, etc. Por entender el escapulario como algo mágico, Nuestra Señora del Carmen ha sido tomada como patrona de los pandilleros porque viven en peligro de ser matados en sus riñas callejeras. Piensan que llevar puesto el escapulario es lo necesario para evitar el infierno e ignoran que usar el escapulario es vivir como María, en paz y al servicio de los demás. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

OREN POR LAS VOCACIONES

La mejor forma de apoyar a nuestros seminaristas es orar por ellos. Por favor, oren esta semana por:

COLLIN CLARK

¡Ven a pasar una hora semanalmente con el Señor!

Domingo 1:00 AM & 6:00 PM Jueves 12:00 PM Viernes 8:00 PM Sábado 4:00 PM & 8:00 PM Sábado 1:00 AM & 6:00 PM

Estamos en la necesidad de adoradores que puedan comprometerse a una hora un día a la semana. Por favor, considere pasar una hora en adoración con el Señor. Los tiempos más necesarios son los publicados aquí y en la capilla. Llámenos al (504) 887-7821 si puede compromoterse.

LLAMADOS POR DIOS

Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a escuchar dos llamados. El primero es el llamado del Señor al profeta Amós, el “pastor y cultivador de higos” (Amós 7:14). El segundo es el llamado del Señor Jesús a los Doce, a quienes envió “de dos en dos” (Marcos 6:7). Estas personas fieles respondieron al llamado, profetizaron y predicaron a aquellos a quienes habían sido enviados. En el Bautismo, cada uno de nosotros recibió un llamado. La segunda lectura nos invita a reflexionar sobre ese llamado ya que se nos recuerda que hemos sido elegidos en Cristo y que, por amor, Dios “nos eligió... para que fuéramos sus hijos” (Efesios 1:5). Por ser hijos adoptivos de Dios se nos llama a llevar la presencia de Cristo a nuestro matrimonio, familiares, escuelas y sitios de trabajo. Sintámonos inspirados a decir “sí” hoy al llamado que escuchamos una vez más en la palabra viva de Dios.
