Pastor’s Weekly Message
P. 2
Peter the Rock Simon Peter made a profound profession of faith in today’s gospel. He professed Jesus as “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” This was after Jesus had asked his disciples who people thought he was. The answers given were close but not good enough. Some said Jesus was John the Baptist, others saw him as Elijah and others saw him as one of the prophets. However, Jesus was more than Elijah, John the Baptist or a prophet. Jesus is the Son of God. He is the Second Person of the Trinity. Peter under the influence of the Holy Spirit was able to make this profession and that changed his life too. Jesus gave him the name Cephas in Aramaic, or Petros in Greek which means rock. It is this apostolic faith that gives the church her purpose and stability. Peter became the first of the apostles and took a great leadership role in the life of the Church. In the Gospels Peter was first in all the lists of the apostles. Paul acknowledged the leadership role of Peter when he wrote after his conversion that he went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and stayed with him for fifteen days (Galatians 1:18). Even though Paul disagreed with Peter on certain issues, he still respected him as the prime leader of the Christian faithful.
God chose Peter to lead the Church by revealing the person of Jesus to him. The gospels are realistic in their description of Peter. He was the one who confessed that Jesus is Lord but later denied him; he expressed his faith in Christ but also falters in that faith. Jesus appointed him to be the leader of the apostles and also gave him strength to support the rest. Peter was given the key to the kingdom of heaven. The key symbolized the authority to bind and to loose. That authority is to be exercised with love and in service of the kingdom. Today, we are invited to reflect on who Jesus is for us. We are asked to pray for the leaders of the church especially Pope Francis and the Bishops who as successors of Peter and the apostles are called to serve the people under their care.
We need you as a Catechists in our Religious Formation: Our Catholic Christian Education (CCE) for the new school year will start in September. We are still in need of 45 catechists. You can help us in this ministry even though you don't think you are qualified. I came across a blog entry by Deirdre Mundy on the aleteia.org website last year that described what it means to be a catechist. It is titled “Why I am the worst Catechist at my parish, and I am still signing up.” I would like to share it with you all:
This August, I’ll begin my sixth year as a religious education teacher. Ora pro me. So far, I’ve taught second, third, fourth, and sixth grades at two different parishes. I spend my summers reading articles about trends in religious education and asking other catechists for advice. Then, the school year begins, and I spend my Wednesday nights never doing quite as well as I’d hoped I would. I can safely say that I am the worst catechist at my parish. This isn’t false modesty. It’s just that the other catechists are great catechists. They’ve been at it for a long time, they know how to teach and
reach kids, and they know their curricula inside and out.
Meanwhile, I’m still struggling to balance book time and talk time, to keep order when the kids are hungry and hyper after a long school day, and to get the most important parts of the faith across without neglecting the nitty gritty, or the Bible. I noticed that many of the lapsed Catholics of my acquaintance accuse us of never reading
the Bible in religion classes, so each year we work through a New Testament book, one chapter a week. I alternate Luke and Acts, because a lack of teachers means I often have the same kids two
years running.
Often, as a teacher, I am a mess. The kids are too, because with little reinforcement at home they have, over summer, all but forgotten everything beyond Jesus having died and risen, and I don’t know where to start. So, why am I in the classroom, trying to teach Catechism at a table surrounded by squirmy, exhausted kids who don’t want to be there? Why did God call me to teach religion when there are better teachers out there, people who could really set the kids on fire with love for Jesus and mankind? “Shouldn’t someone else be leading this class,” I think, “and leave me to safer, less important tasks like photocopying activity sheets or making
sure that no one floods the bathroom?
But I tend to wonder the same thing about a lot of other places God calls me. Why am I homeschooling seven kids, running clubs and keeping house when I’m mediocre at much of it? Why am I my husband’s wife, when he surely deserved better? Why did God put me at this soccer game trying to comfort this traumatized woman as she cries on my shoulder about a recent miscarriage, when I stink at social skills and freak out at tears? It seems like God keeps calling me to things I’m barely capable of, and often not comfortable
with. Couldn’t he find someone better?
Actually, I think the answer to that last question might be, “No, he couldn’t.” Not because I’m super-wonderful and practically perfect in every way, but because I’m available and willing. Maybe some-one better for the job left the Church when she was 12 and never looked back. Or maybe she keeps saying “no” because “yes” can feel so scary. Maybe God takes who is available and willing. Moses was a murderer with a stutter; Saint Bernadette was the merest creature on earth. Saint Peter wasn’t exactly a calm, cool management type, or a smooth operator, and look where he ended up. On paper, Judas might have had a better CV for the papacy, but he was unwilling to be led away from where he thought he
should go.
So, here is what God and the Church are left with: the unworthy yet willing. A lot of us who are called to things we’re not especially good at, but we’re game to give it a try, all for Jesus. Fortunately, where our own talents, skills, and energies fail us, grace can fill the gaps, if we let it. I know there are people in my parish, and in every parish, who would be better catechists than I am. When the DRE gets up front to make her annual plea, they’re too afraid to answer God’s call, because they know they’re not the perfect person for the job. But here’s the thing: The perfect person isn’t here. The perfect person will probably never show up. But you are here, and you’re the one God’s calling right now, in all your
imperfection. It’s OK to hold your breath, close your eyes, make the leap and offer
to help. His grace will make up for your
faults.

The Missionary Society of St. Paul has a total of 200 priests serving in 18 countries around the world. They have 100 seminarians in Nigeria. They would love to
admit more candidates that are interested in the Priesthood, but do not have enough resources to do so. Your generous giving will assist in the training of more
priests to serve in the Church.
Thank you for your generosity.

YOU ARE INVITED!
Annual Festival of Ministries
September 9 & 10
after all weekend Masses
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD,
Alleluia”
As we look forward to another Stewardship event for our
annual renewal and recruitment of volunteers, hopefully you
have taken the time to read and reflect on the information in each week’s bulletin. See how we, as God’s stewards,
are called to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. You are asked to pray
and discern your skills and talents, so that you will be ready
for the opportunity to volunteer by making a commitment to
serve in one of our many ministries here at St. Mary
Magdalene. We have a choice of over 90 parish ministries
that serve our parish and our community!
Our parish is very special and we depend entirely on the
generosity of our parishioners for the complete support of our
parish. Our multitude of caring stewards has accomplished so
much for the parish and community around us. For this we
are most grateful.
Making a commitment to a ministry is more than signing
your name on a paper; it is a covenant with God to serve Him
through the parish in a spirit of love and sharing. It is
following through and being available when called to serve, it
is making the time to call, to visit, to pray, to cook, to attend a
meeting or whatever else may be needed in that ministry.
This is how St. Mary Magdalene Parish has flourished for
over 100 years, because our stewards honor their
commitments to use their gifts to serve the Lord.
This year, on September 9th and 10th, if you are already a
volunteer, you may want to recommit to your present
ministry, seek an additional one or choose a different one. If
you are not presently volunteering, please make a commitment to serve in at least one ministry for a year.
Please visit the tables in the Family Life Center where you
will have the opportunity to commit your gifts to an
appropriate ministry or to try something new in other areas.
Volunteering in ministry, you will experience firsthand,
through your service, how wonderful life is at St. Mary
Magdalene and at the same time be a beautiful example to
your family as well as others.

The Lord God has given me a well-
trained tongue, that I may know how
to speak to the weary a word that
will rouse them.
Isaiah 50:4
Have you wondered what drives a person to step up and
serve in front of the whole congregation at Sunday
Mass? It is Christ who speaks when Holy Scripture is
read aloud in church. Thus, lectors are privileged to
assume the role of God’s heralds in announcing the
good news of salvation. Would you like to join us in
this ministry?
The history of our faith is an oral history, with
stories passed on from generation to generation. The
Lector ministry continues this tradition of telling others
the stories of our faith by proclaiming the Word of God.
We invite you to join our ministry in relating the
wonders of our faith to the congregation. If you are
interested in becoming a Lector, please stop by the
Lector Ministry table at the Festival of Ministries on
September 9th -10th. If you can’t make it, you may also
contact Denise Ruffino at 281-300-8534 or
[email protected]. Training will be provided.

Parents who did not register their student(s) for CCE / Formation classes can contact the Formation Office
{281-446-2933} beginning Wednesday, August 30th to
see what availability we have remaining for our three CCE sessions… please note that space is limited at this

Looking for Catechists: In three weeks, we will start our “school year” CCE programs and we still need adult catechists to staff our classrooms. Maybe you are asking, “What is a catechist anyway?” In simple terms, a catechist is someone who shares their faith… it doesn't require you to be a profes-sional teacher, and you don’t have to be the brightest or most knowledgeable person. We just need you to love your Catholic faith and have the desire to share it with our children and youth!
We have three CCE sessions each week, which run between September - April on Sunday afternoons (3:00pm - 4:30pm) ; Tuesday nights (6:00pm - 7:30pm) ; or Wednesday nights (6:00pm - 7:30pm) in the St. Paul Center.
There are three catechist trainings scheduled for
Sunday, September 10 (3pm) , Tuesday, September 12
(6pm) , and Wednesday, September 13 (6pm)… you
only need to attend ONE! Classes begin the week of September 17. All classes are lead by a pair of catechists, so you’ll never be alone in class and we strive to place new catechists with experienced ones! Want to change the future? Then teach our kids today! We still
need 40 more adults to fully staff our three sessions Please contact Mike Smith for more details.
2018 Confirmation CLASS: All parents of 2018 candidates are reminded to turn in
copies of their student’s Baptism and First
Communion certificates at the CCE Office no later than September 1st… you still have time to continue working on your Confirmation service projects; service forms are not due until the end of February 2018. Don’t forget to register for CCE / Formation classes… you need two years in order to qualify for sacrament preparation (Confirmation)!
Text Message Reminders: We offer text message reminders, which can be sent straight to your cellphone / mobile device. Simply enter 81010 in
the “To:” field, and send the following message to register for specific messages for our programs… you can also download the Remind app from your cell app store.

Adult Formation and Children’s News
Breaking Open the Word for Families
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading 1: Isaiah 22:19-23 When he opens, no one shall shut. When he shuts, no
one shall open. The prophet Isaiah relates the removal
of Shebna from his priestly office of authority (symbolized
by the Key of the House of David on his shoulder) and the
installation of Eliakim, foretelling the time of the New
Covenant, when Jesus would invest Peter with the Keys of
the Kingdom, removing the Jewish High Priest and
installing Peter as the First Pope.
Reading 2: Romans 11:33-36 How unsearchable are the ways of God! Paul sings this
beautiful hymn of praise to God, wondering at the riches of
His wisdom and knowledge, confessing that we have
nothing to give to God which He has not already given to
us.
Gospel: Matthew 16:13-20
Who do you say that I am? Jesus first asks his disciples:
“Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” An odd
question, to be sure. Most preachers might ask: “What do
the people think of my teaching?” How do you answer
that question? Who is Jesus Christ to you?

Mensaje Seminal del Párroco
Pedro la Piedra Simón Pedro hizo una profunda profesión de fe en el evangelio de hoy. Él profesó a Jesús como "el Cristo, el Hijo del Dios viviente". Esto fue después de que Jesús les preguntó a sus discípulos que la gente pensaba que era. Las respuestas dadas eran cercanas, pero no lo suficientemente buenas. Algunos dijeron que Jesús era Juan el Bautista, otros lo vieron como Elías y otros lo vieron como uno de los profetas. Sin embargo, Jesús era más que Elías, Juan el Bautista o un profeta. Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Él es la segunda persona de la Trinidad. Pedro bajo la influencia del Espíritu Santo fue capaz de hacer esta profesión y eso también cambió su vida. Jesús le dio el nombre de Cefas en arameo, o Petro en griego que significa roca. Es esta fe apostólica la que da a la iglesia su propósito y estabilidad. Pedro se convirtió en el primer apóstol y tomó un gran papel de liderazgo en la vida de la Iglesia. En los Evangelios, Pedro fue el primero en todas las listas de los apóstoles. Pablo reconoció el papel de liderazgo de Pedro cuando escribió después de su conversión que subió a Jerusalén para visitar a Cefas y permaneció con él durante quince días (Gálatas 1:18). A pesar de que Pablo estaba en desacuerdo con Pedro en ciertos asuntos, todavía lo respetaba como el principal líder de los fieles
cristianos.
Dios escogió a Pedro para dirigir la Iglesia revelándole la persona de Jesús. Los evangelios son realistas en su descripción de Pedro. Él fue el que confesó que Jesús es el Señor, pero luego lo negó; Expresó su fe en Cristo, pero también vacila en esa fe. Jesús lo nombró para ser el líder de los apóstoles y también le dio fuerzas para apoyar al resto. A Pedro se le dio la llave del reino de los cielos. La llave simbolizaba la autoridad de atar y soltar. Esa autoridad debe ser ejercida con amor y en servicio del reino. Hoy, estamos invitados a reflexionar sobre quién es Jesús para nosotros. Se nos pide que oremos por los líderes de la iglesia especialmente el Papa Francisco y los Obispos que como sucesores de Pedro y los apóstoles están llamados a servir a las
personas bajo su cuidado.
Te necesitamos como Catequista en nuestra Formación Religiosa: Nuestra Educación Cristiana Católica (CCE) para el nuevo año escolar que comenzará en septiembre. Todavía necesitamos 45 catequistas. Usted puede ayudarnos en este ministerio, aunque usted no piense que usted es calificado. Me encontré con una entrada de blog de Deirdre Mundy en el sitio web aleteia.org el año pasado que describía lo que significa ser catequista. Se titula "Por qué soy el peor Catequista de mi parroquia, y todavía estoy inscribiéndome". Me gustaría compartirlo con
todos ustedes:
Este agosto, comenzaré mi sexto año como profesora de educación religiosa. Ora por mí. Hasta ahora, he enseñado segundo, tercero, cuarto y sexto grados en dos diferentes parroquias. Paso mis veranos leyendo artículos sobre tendencias en educación religiosa y pidiendo consejo a otros catequistas. Entonces, el año escolar comienza, y yo paso mis noches de miércoles nunca haciéndolo absolutamente tan bien como había esperado que lo haría. Puedo decir con seguridad que soy la peor catequista de mi parroquia. Esto no es falsa modestia. Es que los otros catequistas son grandes catequistas. Han estado en ello durante mucho tiempo, saben cómo enseñar y llegar a los niños, y
conocen sus planes de estudio por dentro y por fuera.
Mientras tanto, todavía estoy luchando para equilibrar el tiempo del libro y el tiempo de conversación, para mantener el orden cuando los niños están hambrientos e inquietos después de un largo día escolar, y para impartirles las partes más importantes de la fe sin hacer negligencias de descuidar los fundamentos básicos bíblicos. Me di cuenta de que
muchos de los católicos que conozco que han abandonado su fe nos acusan de no leer la Biblia en las clases de religión, por lo que cada año trabajamos a través de un libro del Nuevo Testamento, un capítulo a la semana. Yo alterno Lucas y Hechos, porque la falta de maestros
significa que a menudo tengo los mismos niños dos años consecutivos.
A menudo, como profesora, soy un desastre. Los niños también lo son, porque con poco refuerzo que en casa tienen durante el verano, casi olvidan todo más allá de que Jesús murió y resucitó, y luego no sé por dónde empezar. Entonces, ¿por qué estoy en el salón de clase, tratando de enseñar Catecismo en una mesa rodeada de chicos agotados que no quieren estar allí? ¿Por qué Dios me llamó para enseñar la religión cuando hay maestros mejores ahí afuera, personas que realmente podrían incendiar a los niños con el amor a Jesús y a la humanidad? "¿No debería alguien más dirigir esta clase, y entonces yo poder dedicarme a tareas más seguras y menos importantes como fotocopiar hojas de actividades o asegurarse de que nadie inunde el
baño?
Pero tienden a preguntarme lo mismo de muchos otros lugares en donde también Dios me ha llamado. ¿Por qué estoy educando en casa a siete niños, corriendo clubes y manteniendo una casa cuando estoy mediocre en gran parte de todo esto? ¿Por qué soy la esposa de mi esposo, cuando seguramente se merecía algo mejor? ¿Por qué Dios me puso en este partido de fútbol tratando de consolar a esta mujer traumatizada mientras ella llora en mi hombro sobre un reciente aborto involuntario, cuando soy malísima con las habilidades sociales y me asusto con sus lágrimas? Parece que Dios sigue llamándome a cosas de las que apenas soy capaz, y a menudo no me siento cómoda. ¿No
podría encontrar a alguien mejor?
En realidad, creo que la respuesta a esa última pregunta podría ser: "No, no podría encontrarla." No porque soy súper maravillosa y prácticamente perfecta en todos los sentidos, sino porque estoy disponible y dispuesta. Tal vez alguien mejor para el trabajo dejó la Iglesia cuando tenía 12 años y quiso volver. O tal vez ella sigue diciendo "no" porque decir que "sí" puede parecer tan aterrador. Tal vez Dios toma a quien está disponible y dispuesto. Moisés era un asesino con un tartamudeo; Santa Bernadette era la criatura más sencilla de la tierra. San Pedro no era exactamente un tipo de temperamento tranquilo, fresco, o un trabajador calmado, y mira donde terminó. En el papel, Judas podría haber tenido un mejor currículo para el papado, pero no estaba dispuesto a ser llevado lejos de donde él pensaba que debería ir. Así que, aquí está con lo que Dios y la Iglesia se quedan: El indigno pero dispuesto. Muchos de nosotros somos llamados a cosas en las que no somos especialmente buenos, pero estamos dispuestos a probarlo, todo por Jesús. Afortunadamente, donde nuestros propios talentos, habilidades y energías nos fallan, la gracia puede llenar las lagunas, si lo permitimos. Sé que hay personas en mi parroquia, y en cada parroquia, que serían mejores catequistas que yo. Cuando el coordina-dor se pone al frente para hacer su solicitud de catequistas anual, todos tienen demasiado miedo para responder a la llamada de Dios, porque saben que no son la persona perfecta para el trabajo. Pero aquí está la cosa: La persona perfecta no está aquí. La persona perfecta proba-blemente nunca aparecerá. Pero tú si estás aquí, y tú eres la única llamada por Dios ahora, en toda tu imperfección. Está bien contener la respiración, cerrar los ojos, dar el salto y ofrecerse a ayudar. Su gracia compensará tus faltas.

¡ESTAS INVITADO! Festival Anual de Ministerios
9 y 10 de septiembre Después de todas las misas del fin de semana
"Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor, Aleluya"
Mientras esperamos otro evento de Stewardship para
nuestra renovación anual y reclutamiento de voluntarios,
esperamos que haya tomado el tiempo para leer y
reflexionar sobre la información en el boletín de cada
semana. Vean cómo nosotros, como mayordomos de
Dios, estamos llamados a seguir los pasos de Jesús. Se le
pide orar y discernir sus habilidades y talentos, para que
usted esté listo para la oportunidad de ser voluntario,
haciendo un compromiso de servir en uno de nuestros
muchos ministerios aquí en Santa María Magdalena.
¡Podemos elegir entre más de 90 ministerios parroquiales
que sirven a nuestra parroquia ya nuestra comunidad!
Nuestra parroquia es muy especial y dependemos
totalmente de la generosidad de nuestros feligreses para el
apoyo total de nuestra parroquia. Nuestra multitud de
cuidadores ha logrado tanto para la parroquia y la
comunidad que nos rodea. Por ello estamos muy
agradecidos.
Hacer un compromiso con un ministerio es más que
firmar su nombre en un papel; Es un pacto con Dios para
servirle a través de la parroquia en un espíritu de amor y
compartir. Está siguiendo a través y está disponible
cuando está llamado para servir, está haciendo el tiempo
de llamar, de visitar, de orar, de cocinar, de asistir a una
reunión o cualquier otra cosa que se necesite en ese
ministerio. Así es como la parroquia Santa María
Magdalena ha florecido durante más de 100 años, porque
nuestros mayordomos honran sus compromisos de usar
sus dones para servir al Señor.
Este año, los días 9 y 10 de septiembre, si usted ya es
voluntario, quizá desee volver a comprometerse con su
ministerio actual, busque uno adicional o elija uno
diferente. Si actualmente no se ofrece voluntariamente,
por favor, haga un compromiso de servir en al menos un
ministerio por un año. Por favor visite las mesas en el
Centro de Vida Familiar donde tendrá la oportunidad de
comprometer sus regalos a un ministerio apropiado o de
probar algo nuevo en otras áreas. Voluntaria en el
ministerio, usted experimentará de primera mano, a través
de su servicio, lo maravillosa que es la vida en Santa
María Magdalena y al mismo tiempo ser un ejemplo
hermoso para su familia, así como otros.
