A
reflection on
the Gospel for
The Twenty
Second Sunday
in Ordinary
Time
|
|
We want
to help others
but sometimes
it turns out to
be the wrong
way. Someone
said to me
recently that I
should not
worry, my mom
would be
healed. Well my
mother is 87
years old, has
a heart
condition,
deforming
arthritis,
problems with
her liver and
kidneys, and
senile
dementia. For
her to be
healed would
truly be a
miracle, but it
could be an
unnecessary
one. It is not
what we are
asking for.
Offering such
false comfort,
even if well
intentioned,
does not take
us anywhere,
because we know
it is simply
not possible.
When Peter
tells Jesus not
to speak of
dying, he is
doing what so
many well
intentioned
people do.
“Stop
suffering is
affirming what
is impossible.
In this world,
there is always
going to be
suffering
becuase there
will always be
diseases, pain
of all types,
and death. To
say stop
suffering or
comfort another
by stating it
will be
alright, is to
affirm
suffering and
death
unnecessary,
and we can live
forever without
any pain. Since
life teaches us
this is
impossible,
such a promise
can be deceving
and in the end,
more harmful
than
recognizing the
truth. But
Jesus becomes
upset with
Peter. It is
not simply a
well-intentioned
comment; It is
trying to deny
the Lord’s
mission. It
seems as if
Peter had not
understood
things as well
as it seemed in
the readings of
the previous
Sunday.

Una
reflexión
sobre el
evangelio del
Vigesimo
Segundo Domingo
del Tiempo
Ordinario
|
|
Queremos
ayudar. Pero a
veces es de
manera
equivocada.
Alguien me dijo
el otro
día que
no me
preocupara, que
mi mamá
iba a curarse.
Bueno, sucede
que mi
mamá
tiene 87
años,
una
condición
de
corazón,
artritis
deformante, y
problemas de
higado y
riñon,
además
de demecial
senil. Que se
curara
sería un
milagro, pero
podría
ser incluso que
fuera un
milagro
totalmente
innecesario. No
lo estamos
pidiendo.
Ofrecer ese
falso consuelo,
aunque
esté
bien
intencionado,
no lleva a
ningún
sitio, porque
se sabe
perfectamente
que no es
posible. Cuando
Pedro le dice a
Jesús
que no hable de
morir,
está
haciendo lo que
tantas veces
hacen las
personas bien
intencionadas.
“Padre de
sufrir”.
Eso es afirmar
una
imposibilidad.
En este mundo,
siempre tiene
que haber
algún
dolor, porque
hay
enfermedades,
dolores de
todas clases y
muerte. Decir,
pare de sufrir,
o tratar de
consolar a
alguien
diciendo que
todo va a estar
bien, es
afirmar que no
hace falta
sufrir ni
morir, que
podemos ser
eternos y vivir
sin ningun
dolor. Como la
vida nos
enseña
que eso es
imposible, una
promesa
así
resulta ser
engañosa
y a la larga,
más
dañina
que el hubiera
sido reconocer
la verdad. Pero
Jesús se
enoja con
Pedro. No es
simplemente un
comentario bien
intencionado,
sino un tratar
de negar la
misión
de
Jesús.
Parece que no
lo ha entendido
tan bien como
había
parecido en el
cometario del
domingo
pasado.

Dear Parishioners,
The
summer vacation of our kids is coming to
an end. Hopefully they had a nice rest,
had fun and also were of help at home.
Now, it’s back to school. It’s
time to get ready with the things they
need: notebooks & pens, shirts &
shoes, etc.
Back to
school does not only mean going back to
academic classes but for us in the parish
as well as in other parishes it means
going back to the CCD or catechetical
class. This program aims to impart the
church teachings that lead to the
reception of sacraments and a deeper love
of Christ.
I’m
happy to announce that all of the teachers
last year are coming back and a few more
are joining their rank. Thank God! Raquel
Camacho who served as the director of the
program (DRE) for so many years has taken
a well-deserved rest. With unparalleled
dedication and superb managerial skill she
had put together a neat CCD and
confirmation programs for which we are
immensely grateful.
Kacey
Carey, a volunteer teacher for many years
who has distinguished herself in advocacy
issues, especially in the prolife
movement, and who brings with her many
years of supervisory experience, is the
new director. Teresa Navarro, a long-time
first grade Spanish class teacher, will
serve as the coordinator of the Spanish
classes. Jolene Lariosa, another veteran
classroom teacher, will coordinate the
English classes. For the confirmation
program, Veronica Rodriguez with her
wealth of knowledge and wide experience
will serve as the coordinator. Clara
Trujillo, another long-time volunteer,
will be the office manager.
Parents,
we have great programs and even greater
teachers. Now we ask you to do your part.
It is your responsibility before God to
raise your children in the faith. Make it
a priority to have your children receive
religious education. Enroll them in the
CCD program and attend classes with them.
The future our faith depends on it. Thank
you.

Estimados Feligreses,
Las
vacaciones de verano de nuestros
niños estan terminando. Esperamos
que tuvieron un buen descanso, se
divirtieron y que ayudaron en la casa.
Ahora, es tiempo de regresar a la escuela.
Es tiempo de prepararse con las cosas que
necesitan: cuadernos, lapiseros, camisas y
zapatos, etc.
Regresar
a la escuela no quiere decir solamente a
la escuela academica sino que tambien a
las clases de Catecismo aqui en la
parroquia como otras parroquias. Este
program enseña lo que la iglesia
nos enseña de los sacramentos y
nuestro amor a Cristo.
Estoy
feliz de anunciar que las maestras de el
año pasado regresan y unas nuevas
tambien que nos van acompañar.
Gracias a Dios! Raquel Camacho que sirvio
como la directora del programa (DRE) por
tantos años ha tomado un tiempo
bien merecido de descanso. Con su
dedicacion tan especial y con sus
experiencia de manejadora hizo un programa
de catecismo y confirmacion muy organizado
y por eso estamos muy agradecidos con
ella.
Kacey
Carey, una maestra voluntaria por muchos
años que es una voz para el
movimiento pro-life, y tiene mucha
experiencia de supervisora, es la nueva
directora. Teresa Navarro, maestra de
primer grado de Español hace muchos
años, sera la cordinadora de las
clases de Español. Jolene Lariosa,
otra maestra veterana de clases, cordinara
las clases de Ingles. Para el programa de
Confirmacion, Veronica Rodriguez con su
conocimiento y extenta experiencia sirvira
como la cordinadora. Clara Trujillo, otra
de nuestras voluntarias, sera la
manejadora de la oficina.
Padres,
tenemos un gran programa y maestras de lo
mejor. Ahora les pedimos a ustedes que
hagan su parte. Es su responsabilidad ante
Dios para que enseñen a sus hijos
la fe. Haga una proridad que sus hijos
recivan la educacion religiosa.
Registrelos en el programa de Catecismo y
atienda clases usted tambien. El futuro de
su fe depende de ustedes.
Gracias.
Fr.
