P A S T O R ’ S R e f l e c t i o n

B reaking Open the Word of God: Dear brothers and sisters, during this month of September our lives usually return back to normal. Our work, children are back in school, family life.

This creates a sense of starting a new period in our lives. Therefore, it is important not to fall into the routine and to do things only by repetition. In our Parish and community, we will also begin to plan and program the life of our parish, celebrations, formation programs, religious education, youth ministry, etc.

The Gospel passage this Sunday can help us build on solid foundation. Following Jesus entails the renunciation and detachment of anything that does not help us to do God's will in our daily lives. The passage begins by saying: " “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.” Following Jesus implies making fundamental life choices, making a conscious choice, and giving up what is not necessary, what distracts our heart.

We need to place the Good News of the gospel at the center of our lives in reality and truth. Jesus gives us two examples: “Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’” And then another example: “Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms.”

Many of our goals in our daily lives are full of vain promises and proposals, which are very difficult for us to realize in practical and everyday actions, thus they are nothing more than dreams. They lack the knowledge of reality, which is always changing, and too often we take them for granted. It is true that we are mostly the same person from year to year, but this does not mean that every year we are forced to repeat the same actions over and over. Outsiders often see us together, but not united; celebrating rites, but lacking joy; helping people, but not transformed into Jesus.

Consequently, before starting a new stage in this new school year, it is convenient for each of us to adopt an active, age-appropriate posture, towards our personal and family circumstances, Also towards the reality of our social and communal environment, so we can all take steps together in the direction we choose together. But all our pastoral programs must always lead to the Gospel that ends

today with these words: "In the same way, anyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple." Those at risk are those who do not like the situation they are living. Those who are comfortable, of course, do not want to change or embrace the cross that came in their path.

Jesus' proposal is clear: to follow him, you have to prefer Him over other things. The choice is not between loving God or loving humanity, but the proposal is to choose a full humanity instead of our faulty and fallen humanity. That full humanity is always found IN Jesus. When we do this, we are getting in touch with the very core of what it means to follow Jesus. This must be our life project, for this new stage that we begin this September. True discipleship is committing to a life of renunciation. It is embracing suffering, persecution, obedience, service and humility, all for love for Christ. When this has been accomplished, it can be said that the Christian has been saved by the wisdom of God, by the Holy Spirit who taught him and guided him step by step towards salvation and the gift of God's eternal Kingdom.

W alking together as brothers and sisters: Dear brothers and sisters, let us meditate this week about the following questions: When you’ve made important decisions in your life,

have you let other’s opinions sway your choice? Or have you truly asked yourself, what would Jesus do in this situation? Do you think you could have been happier if you had chosen to act like Jesus? May we, this week, invite Jesus’ way of thinking and acting into our every thought and action, that our lives may be changed into a radical and safe life following Christ.

Ministerio Pro-Vida de SEAS SÉPTIMO MES – Desarrollo del bebé del programa parroquial de Adopción Espiritual Su bebé adoptado espiritualmente se

está desarrollando bastante bien ahora. Al comenzar este mes el bebé usa sus cuatro sentidos. Sus párpados se abren y se cierran, y sus ojos pueden ver a su alrededor. Tiene sentido del gusto, puede toser, bostezar y tener hipo. Ahora reconoce la voz de su madre. La fortaleza de sus manos para agarrar algo es ahora mayor de lo que será después de su nacimiento. El cabello le está creciendo más y el vello que le cubre el resto del cuerpo está desapareciendo. Es durante esta etapa cuando el bebé recibirá de su madre los anticuerpos que le darán inmunidad a una amplia variedad de enfermedades

R E F L E X I O N d e l P á r r o c o

M editando la Palabra de Dios Estimados hermanos

y hermanas, durante este mes de septiembre, nuestras vidas suelen entrar en un periodo de normalidad. El trabajo, los hijos en la escuela, la familia. Esto nos va creando una sensación de comenzar de nuevo una etapa más en nuestras vidas. Por eso, es

importante no caer en la rutina y en hacer las cosas sólo por repetición. En nuestra Parroquia y la comunidad, también empezaremos a planificar y programar la vida de nuestra parroquia, celebraciones, programas formativos, la educación religiosa, la pastoral juvenil etc.

El evangelio de este domingo nos puede ayudar a crear buenos cimientos. El seguimiento de Jesús lleva consigo la renuncia y el despojo de todo lo que no nos ayuda hacer la voluntad de Dios en nuestra vida diaria. El pasaje comienza diciendo: “"Si alguno quiere seguirme y no me prefiere a su padre y a su madre, a su esposa y a sus hijos, a sus hermanos y a sus hermanas, más aún, a sí mismo, no puede ser mi discípulo. Y el que no carga su cruz y me sigue, no puede ser mi discípulo.”. Este seguimiento, conlleva tomar opciones fundamentales de vida, es hacer una elección consciente, y renunciar a lo que no es necesario, lo que distrae a nuestro corazón.

Tenemos que poner el Evangelio en el centro de nuestra vida con realismo, por eso Jesús, nos pone dos ejemplos. El primero: “¿quién de ustedes, si quiere construir una torre, no se pone primero a calcular el costo, para ver si tiene con qué terminarla? No sea que, después de haber echado los cimientos, no pueda acabarla y todos los que se enteren comiencen a burlarse de él, diciendo: 'Este hombre comenzó a construir y no pudo terminar”. El segundo: ¿O qué rey que va a combatir a otro rey, no se pone primero a considerar si será capaz de salir con diez mil soldados al encuentro del que viene contra él con veinte mil? Porque si no, cuando el otro esté aún lejos, le enviará una embajada para proponerle las condiciones de paz”.

Muchos de nuestros objetivos de nuestra vida cotidiana están llenos de promesas y ofertas vanas, que nos cuesta realizar en realizaciones prácticas y cotidianas, no dejan de ser más que sueños. Les falta el conocimiento de la realidad, que es siempre cambiante y damos en demasiadas ocasiones los por supuestos. Es verdad que somos casi siempre los mismos, lo cual, no quiere decir, que cada año estemos forzados a repetir y repetir las mismas acciones. Los de fuera nos ven con frecuencia reunidos, pero no sé si unidos; celebrando ritos, pero con qué alegría; ayudando a la gente, pero no transformados en Jesús.

En consecuencia, antes de comenzar una nueva etapa en

este nuevo año escolar, es conveniente que cada uno de nosotros adoptemos una postura activa conforme con nuestra edad, con nuestras circunstancias personales y familiares y con la situación real de nuestro ambiente social, y comunitario para que demos pasos todos juntos en la dirección que elijamos. Pero todas nuestras programaciones pastorales, deben de llevar siempre al Evangelio que hoy termina con estas palabras: “Lo mismo ustedes: el que no renuncia a todos sus bienes no puede ser discípulo mío”. Los que corren riesgos son aquellos a los que no les gusta la situación que están viviendo. Los que se encuentran a gusto, por supuesto no quieren cambiar ni integrar la cruz en su camino.

La propuesta de Jesús es clara: para seguirle, hay que preferirle a Él, por encima de las demás cosas. La alternativa no consiste entre el amor a Dios negando a los humanos, sino en elegir entre nuestra humanidad deshumanizada a una humanidad plena, que siempre encontramos en Jesús. En este punto, estamos tocando la raíz misma del seguimiento de Jesús. Este debe ser nuestro proyecto de vida, para esta nueva etapa que comenzamos en este mes de septiembre. el verdadero discipulado es comprometerse con una vida de renuncia. Es abrazar el sufrimiento, la persecución, la obediencia, el servicio y la humildad, todo por el amor a Cristo. Cuando esto se ha logrado, se puede decir que el cristiano ha sido salvado por la sabiduría de Dios, por el Espíritu Santo que le enseñó y lo guió paso a paso hacia la salvación y al regalo del Reino eterno de Dios.

C aminando juntos como hermanos: Estimados hermanos y hermanas, reflexionemos a lo largo de esta semana en las siguientes

preguntas: Cuando han tomado decisiones importantes en sus vidas ¿se han dejado llevar por lo que opinaban los demás? o ¿se han preguntado qué habría hecho Jesús en una situación similar? ¿Creen que, si hubieran actuado como Jesús, habrían sido más felices? Que el tomar en cuenta lo que Jesus nos diría en cada situación pueda cambiar nuestra vida de una forma radical y segura.

The priest said, “Good, and what after that?” Not sure exactly where he was going with this line of questioning, I replied, “I guess I will grow old, practicing medicine, eventually retire. And then I guess I will die and go to heaven.” The pastor nodded his head knowingly. Thoughtfully. And he was quiet for a few seconds. Then he looked at me earnestly and said, “And who will you bring with you into heaven?” Immediately, he rang the sacristy bell and we walked out to begin the Mass. I thought to myself, “How clever you are Monsignor. And he was quite clever.” I thought about that comment all during the Mass and many more times during my adolescent and young adult years. “And who will you bring with you into heaven?” It was asking myself that question repeatedly that really turned the tide and convinced me eventually that I should become a priest.

Every vocation is about helping other people reach heaven. I tell this story not to minimize the greatness of the sacrament of marriage, because marriage serves the same purpose! I suppose the young man might have used the same comment made by the pastor to move him towards the vocation of marriage. But the story illustrates the critical point that a vocation is not primarily about self-fulfillment, but about being the instrument of God in saving others.

From the Book

“To Save a Thousand Souls” Fr. Brett A. Brannen

“What will you do with your life? What are your plans? Have you ever thought of committing you Exitance totally to Christ? Do you

think that there can be anything greater than bringing Jesus to people and people to Jesus?”

St. Pope John Paul II

A WAITING HARVEST Vocation Awareness

In this study, Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith on DVD, examine biblical wisdom as it relates to daily life. Drawing on the wisdom literature of the Bible—Proverbs, Wisdom, Sirach, and Ecclesiastes—Wisdom will teach you how to actively seek out sound guidance and increase your sense of peace in navigating life. In everything from friendships to finances, from making decisions to attaining peace of mind, Scripture offers a vision for happiness and well-being. With this program, you will learn how to gather, gain, and grow in wisdom, and you will experience the joy it brings to your life. Discover what wisdom is (and what it isn’t!) -Learn new habits for increasing wisdom in your daily life, Gain confidence, through role models and practice, in living according to God’s vision" For more information, contact Mary Christie at: marychristie76@gmail.com

In the Eucharist we find all the good of the Church. In it we have the certainty that God is faithful to His promise and stays with us until the end of time. In our visits and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, we experience the closeness of the good shepherd, the tenderness of His love, the presence of a

faithful friend. We all experience this large support in our lives provided by faith and our personal and intimate dialogue with the Lord in the Eucharist. Come Adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Monday through Friday from 10am to 9pm.

Prayer Shawl Ministry Just a reminder to all of our parishioners that we do still have a wonderful Prayer Shawl Ministry here at SEAS Parish. These shawls are made by your fellow parishioners ---beautifully knit or crocheted. They bring comfort and peace to those in need. One of our shawl makers wrote this note on the shawl she had just knitted, “May this shawl keep you warm and wrapped in God’s love”. I was told by another recipient, whose husband had just died, that she wrapped the shawl around her as she felt cold one morning and “It felt as if I was being held –being hugged”. If you know of someone who could use a warm hug or the comfort of knowing SEAS Parish cares about their loneliness, their loss, their suffering, let us know please. The Prayer Shawl Display has moved to the Fellowship Hall to keep the Narthex tidier, but we are still here for you. Coordinator: Joan Kluck joankluck@hotmail.com
