Today’s Reflection

Dar Con Generosidad Jesús nos invita hoy a la generosidad. El que aprende a dar sin esperar recompensa resulta siempre en la abundancia. Esto es lo que nos enseña el final del texto del Evangelio de hoy. Pedro le dice a Jesús, “Que va ser de nosotros que estamos aquí apostando a lo que Tú propones.” Jesús le dice, “No les va a faltar nada, hay una nueva abundancia que les espera.” Así que hay dos enseñanzas en el Evangelio de hoy. La invitación a dar y a buscar quienes son los pobres. Hay pobres de paz, hay pobres de dinero, hay pobres de consejo, hay pobres de alfabetización y hay ricos que son muy pobres. Hay pobres de muchas maneras. Pero hoy tenemos la invitación a no ser esclavo de las cosas. La invitación de dar sin esperar recompensa y la certeza de que en ese camino se encuentra la verdadera felicidad y la verdadera riqueza. Diacono Pedro González ***************************************************

MASS INTENTIONS: Our Remembering someone at Mass is

important, there is no better way to show gratitude to God.

******************************************************************

POPE’S INTENTION FOR OCTOBER 2018:

Evangelization – The Mission of Religious

That consecrated religious men and women may bestir them-

selves, and be present among the poor, the marginalized, and

those who have no voice.

Memorial Candles for your deceased loved ones are available for $5

each and can be purchased as you leave Church.

The most beautiful memorial we can give to those we love is living

memory nourished by prayer, gratitude and ever-deepening affection. If

you wish to have a beloved remembered in our parish Novena of Mass-

es which begins on All Souls Day, Nov 2, envelopes are available at the

Vestibule for those who do not have them. Please return your envelope

and donation on or before November 1st.

YOUTH MINISTRY If you are interested in our youth group please contact John

Moncada: john.moncada54@gmail.com

YOUTH CORNER. The way to be great in the Kingdom of God

is to be “the servant of all.” A key point in which God and man differs is pride: in God there is no pride. Jesus calls us to be humble and to serve others with sacrificial love. Let us open our hearts to his call to be humble and share in His redemp-tive love.
