THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
OCTOBER 23, 2005
We are to love the Lord with our
whole heart and our neighbor as ourselves
(1st Reading & Psalm & Gospel). By thus
fulfilling these two great commandments,
we hope to become models and imitators
of the Lord (2nd Reading) who gave himself
totally for our sakes.
Our era is marked by an explosion
of information and technology providing us with
24/7 news and reports from all over the world. We
are told that as information becomes more
available and widespread; our attention span is
shorter and shorter. Consequently, we have news
summaries, sound bites, spin doctors.
Our Catholic faith, too, has a rich body of
theology, liturgy, morality, history. Sometimes it can
seem complicated and difficult. There is a sense
that we too need a summary of our teachings and
beliefs. We need to get to the basics and essence
of our faith. We are given that today “You must love
the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your
soul and with all your mind. You must love your
neighbor as yourself.”
Our faith, the Mass, Sacraments, Creed,
theology, morality is all summarized and held
together in this powerful summary of Jesus in answer
to the Pharisees. Love of GoD and love of neighbor
are inseparable and fundamental. Only with God’s
grace to each others example can we know and
live these commandments.

The Ladies’ Society would like to invite
parishioners to visit Gurnell Hall after Mass to see
the newly refinished floor in the kitchen, pantry and
janitorial hall. This work was done by Mr. Lex Noll and
his crew. Lex is one of the Leaders of Boy Scout
troop
88 which is sponsored by the Knights of
Columbus. Materials and labor was paid by the Ladies’
Society. Our hall is 20 yeats old, and needs some TLC
to keep it in the condition it should be in. Our next
hall project will be to have the kitchen painted and
professionally cleaned.

Jean Shaver, Kelly Tigue, Nola Bjelk, and Marie Snider.

GROUP: As we all know, it is the Holy Spirit who is leading our

has agreed to alternate with me every other prayer meeting
to direct the flow of the meeting together with our faithful
music minister, John Logue. Thank you Joe and John for being obedient to your calling from God. Maggi. I’m learning
more and more how important the Renewal is for the whole
Church. Pope Benedict XVI thinks so, and John Paul the Great
had this to say about it: “Thanks to the Charismatic Movement,
many Christians, men and women, youths and adults, have rediscovered Pentecost as a living and present reality in their
daily life. I desire that the spirituality of Pentecost be spread
in the church, as a renewed thrust of prayer, holiness, communion and proclamation.” Come find out more about this Friday,
Oct. 28th at 7 pm in Room 3. For more info call Joe at 6228162 or Maggi at 295-8074.
MUSIC MINISTRY: The music ministry of St. Patrick’s is
in need of replenishment. If you love to worship through
music, and you sing and /or play the piano or organ or guitar
PLEASE give your name and phone number to any music minister after any Mass. We would especially like to encourage
teens and young adults to participate in this ministry…
( some of us are getting old! )

Trigesimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Octubre 23, 2005
Amamos al Señor con todo el corazón, y a nuestro
prójimo como a nosotros mismos (1st Lectura, Salmo
y Evangelio). Así damos cumplimiento a estos dos
grandes mandamientos, esperando
ser modelos e
imitadores del Señor (2nd Lectura) quién se dio
totalmente así mismo por nuestro bien.
Nuestra era esta marcada por una explosión de
información y tecnología que nos proveen las 24
horas del día y los 7 días de la semana, con las
noticias y los reportes de todo el mundo. Se nos dice
que como la información viene a ser más disponible y
extiende mas ampliamente nuestro punto de atención
es cada vez más corto. Consecuentemente, tenemos
resúmenes de noticias, y sonidos, penetrantes, lista de
doctores etc.
Nuestra Fe católica, tiene también un conjunto de
riquezas como: la Teología, Liturgia, Moral, e
Historia etc. Algunas veces esto puede parecer
complicado y difícil. Hay también un sentimiento de
que necesitamos un resumen de nuestras enseñanzas y
creencias. Necesitamos tomar lo básico y esencial de
nuestra fe. Estamos llamados hoy: a amar al Señor tu
Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma y con
toda tu mente. Y amar a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.
Nuestra Fe, la Misa, los Sacramentos, el Credo, la
Teología, la Moral etc., esta todo esto reunido
conjuntamente en este poderoso resumen de Jesús en
su respuesta a los Fariseos: El amor de de Dios y el
amor al vecino es inseparable y fundamental.
Solamente con la Amor a Dios y amor al prójimo; dos
amores que son inseparables y fundamentales.
Solamente con la gracia de Dios y el ejemplo de cada
uno a los demás; podemos conocer y vivir estos
mandamientos
Padre Cantwell

DIFERENCIAS ENTRE CATOLICOS Y DEMAS
GRUPOS RELIGIOSOS
Los grupos religiosos separados de la Iglesia, no
admiten las imágenes, porque toman al pie de la letra
una frase de las sagradas escrituras que dice: No te
harás imágenes de nada de cuanto existe en la tierra
(Ex 20,4). Ellos no admiten imágenes de santos pero en
cambio si tienen estatuas de héroes, retratos de
políticos, cuadros y afiches de deportistas etc. Los
católicos sabemos que podemos tener imágenes; pero
no para adorarlas, porque no adoramos sino a Dios.
Las imagenes nos recuerdan a un gran protector que
tenemos en el cielo, un santo o la Santísima Virgen,
que además interceden por nosotros ante Dios para
pedir por nuestras necesidades etc.
1. La Iglesia católica viene directamente desde los
tiempos de los Apóstoles: a través de los 264
Papas que han existido. En cambio los
protestantes aparecieron solo hace 400 años por
medio de unos sacerdotes que se revelaron
contra el Papa y se casaron, ellos fueron:
Calvino Lutero y etc.
2. La Iglesia católica ha producido más de 26
millones de Santos. En todos los tiempos y en
las más diversas profesiones y oficios, la Iglesia
ha producido y sigue produciendo santos
admirables. Una religión que lleva a sus fieles
fácilmente a la santidad, es digna de de ser
preferida a las demás. La mayoría de los santos
que tiene la Iglesia católica, fueron martirizados y
murieron declarando que su religión no la
abandonaban por nada en el mundo.
Los milagros siempre han acompañado a la Iglesia
católica. Dios habla por medió de los milagros. Desde
San Pedro, que hacia tantos milagros que bastaba con
que su sombra tocara a un enfermo para que se curara;
como nos lo recuerda el Libro de los Hechos de los
apóstoles en el capitulo 5 y versículo 15, hasta santos
actuales como son Juan Bosco que Dios concedió a
través de el mas de 800 milagros. Siempre Dios ha
bendecido a la Iglesia católica con infinidad de
milagros. Basta ir por ejemplo a Fátima y a Lourdes y
ver que admirables curaciones se obtienen allí por
medio de la Santísima Virgen… NOTA: cuando
hablamos de milagros, es bueno aclarar que Dios
concede esos milagros a la Santísima Virgen Maria y a
los santos a favor de los hombres, por sus ruegos e
intercesiones. Por eso cuando pedimos la ayuda de la
Santísima Virgen Maria o de los santos, siempre
decimos ruega por nosotros. Porque nosotros sabemos
que Dios es el que tiene el poder y este poder lo hace
llegar a nosotros por los ruegos de aquellos que ocupan
un lugar privilegiado junto a Dios como son los santos
y la Santísima Virgen Maria. Como Dios ama
profundamente a la Santísima Virgen y a los santos,
por eso es muy importante y muy saludable para
nosotros pedir su intercesión, porque Dios los escucha
a ellos y les concede los favores que nosotros les
pedimos. Si Dios premia a la Iglesia católica con
grandes milagros, debe ser que la religión católica es
su preferida.
EXPOSICION DEL SANTISIMO
Invitamos a la comunidad Hispana a adorar al Santisimo
de lunes a viernes de 9:00 am a 4:00 pm. Escojan la hora
y el dia que mejor les convenga.
