Jubilee Year of MercyAugust 14, 2016Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

This Jubilee Year of Mercy bids us share our own experi-ence of Jesus’ mercy with those on what Pope Francis calls the “peripheries”—people who feel marginalized, even unwelcome—inviting them to come home. But with all this mercy, why today’s mayhem? “Do you think I have come to establish peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division” (Luke 12:51). Jesus “breaks down” those “breakups” in painful detail—parents, children, even in-laws. “Against” appears eight times in five verses. Jeremiah faced death for bearing witness (Jeremiah 38:4). Can’t we bear at least a small share of the sometimes merciless cost of sharing mercy? The Letter to the Hebrews warns us, keep your “eyes fixed on Jesus” and “so great a cloud of witnesses,” lest we “grow weary and lose heart” as we run “the race that lies before us” (Hebrews 12:1–3). After all, “for the sake of the joy that lay before him,” Jesus “endured the cross” (12:2). Can’t we endure our small crosses for the sake of sharing mercy?

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia14 de agosto de 2016Vigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Este Año Jubilar de la Misericor-dia nos invita a llevar nuestra propia experiencia de la misericordia de Jesús hacia las “periferias” —así lo llama el Papa Francisco—, las personas marginadas, incluyendo a personas que juzgamos desagradables, invitándolas a que vengan a casa. Pero con toda esta misericordia, ¿por qué el caos de hoy día? “¿Piensan acaso que he venido a traer la paz a la tierra? De ningún modo. No he venido a traer la paz, sino la división (Lucas 12:51). Jesús va dando ejemplos de esas “divisiones” en detalles doloro-sos para padres, hijos, suegros, suegras, nueras, yernos. Una palabra a considerar es “división”. Jeremías estuvo a punto de morir por dar testimonio (Jeremías 38:4). ¿No podemos nosotros al menos asumir una pequeña parte de lo que a veces despiadadamente cuesta compartir mi-sericordia? La carta a los hebreos nos advierte mantener “fija la mirada en Jesús” y de quienes “dieron prueba de su fe”, para que “no se cansen ni pierdan el ánimo” mientras corremos “la carrera que tenemos por delante” (Hebreos 12:1–3). ¿No podemos llevar a cuestas nuestras pequeñas cruces por el bien de compartir misericordia?

August 13 & 14, 2016 / 13 & 14 de agosto, 2016Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Normally, the Feast of the Assumption is a holy day of obligation. Because it falls on a Monday this year, it is not observed as a day of obligation. we will have the regular daily Mass at 3:45pm, however, it will be held in the main Church.

Normalmente la Fiesta de la Asunción es un día sagrado de obligación. Este año cae en lunes, y por esa razón, no se observa como un día de obligación. tendremos la Misa regular a las 3:45pm, sin embargo, se celebrará en la Iglesia y no en la Capilla.

R.C.I.A.Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

COME AND SEE!Are you, or do you know anyone, who has not yet been baptized or was baptized in another Christian faith? Ever wondered why Catholics bless themselves with the sign of the cross, what they believe about communion, what’s up with all those saints and statues, and rosaries, and standing, sitting and kneeling? Why does Mary seem so important? Well, why not come and see and come and learn?

This year’s RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) Program begins on Thursday, September 8. There’s no cost, no obligation, no commitment necessary. In a series of friendly, informative and spiritually exciting classes we will explore the major things Catholics believe and why. We will learn more about the Mass and what is happening and why. Learn about prayer, scripture, sacraments and Church history, and much more.

Are you Catholic and interested in learning more about your faith? Would you be willing to be part of this program to be part of a faith community willing to journey with and support those interested in learning more about our faith? Now may be the moment that God is calling you to be part of an exciting ministry.

So, if you are currently a non-Catholic wanting to learn more about Catholicism, or a Catho-lic willing to be part of an exciting ministry, please call Sandy Dodson at (512) 213-4554 or Deacon John Kerrigan at (214) 886-8239. You may also email Deacon John at deaconjohnk@santacruzcc.org.

God may be calling you. Listen, pray and come and see….

CRSP en Español - Tendremos nuestro próximo retiro de mujeres de dos días; por gracia de Dios nuestro Señor el 3 y 4 de septiembre, 2016, en el salón parroquial. les pedimos por favor atendamos ese encuentro con nosotras mismas y con Jesús nuestro Sal-vador; Rey de reyes y Señor de señores con temas súper importantes como la conversión de vida, nueva vida en Cristo Jesús, una vida de oración; [Juan 3:3-5] Jesús le dijo: en verdad te digo que el que no nazca de nuevo, no puede ver el reino de Dios. Nicodemo le dijo: ¿Cómo puede un hombre nacer siendo ya viejo? ¿Acaso puede entrar por segunda vez en el vientre de su madre y nacer? Jesús respondió: en verdad te digo que el que no nace del agua y del Espíritu no pueden entrar al reino de Dios. Hermanas, Dios nuestro Señor nos está haciendo una invitación para estar con Él ese fin de semana y revestirnos de ese hombre nuevo y despojarnos del hombre viejo, y es algo tan bello y hermoso sentir su presencia en nuestro corazón, y es tan hermoso decirle, si Señor aquí estoy para lo que me necesites…

Gracias a cada una de ustedes y espero que escuchen el llamado del Señor todo-poderoso, nuestro Dios Padre, Dios Hijo y Dios Espíritu Santo, amen. Los esperamos; Dios las bendiga.
