If you know of someone who has not received First Communion or Confirmation, or maybe even some neighbors who talk
about our parish and have never been baptized, why don’t you come to the rectory office during office hours and fill out the
information for us this week. We will contact them in September or October to see if they are interested in coming closer to
Christ in the sacraments of the church.
Quizás tú conoces a alguien que necesita recibir sus sacramentos. Quizás tienes un vecino que habla de la iglesia y quisiera bautizarse. Quizás tú serás el misionero de Cristo. De la información en horas de oficina en la rectoría y cuando empezamos las clases durante Septiembre y Octubre, les mandaremos un recuerdo para que conozcan también Cristo en los
sacramentos!
19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come." The only thing we really know
about when Jesus will come again is that we won't be expecting it. As Jesus instructs us today, the best plan of action is thus
to be prepared at all times. We need to be ready and waiting to meet Jesus so that when he does return, it won't catch us off
guard. A little thought experiment might be helpful here. Let's imagine that the doorbell rings this evening after dinner. We
open the door and find Jesus standing there. He asks to come in. Are we ready for this honored guest? What will he find
when he steps in unannounced? Is everyone at peace around the house? Is everyone speaking with love and acting with generosity? Is there anything in our home that, in his presence, we might be ashamed of--books, shows, movies, or music that
aren't appropriate? Pictures, Facebook posts, or a record of Internet history that we hope he won't discover? Now, imagine
that he came unannounced into our HEARTS this evening. What would he find there? Are our hearts ready to welcome Jesus? In truth, we need not wait for the second coming to have Jesus in our hearts. He wants to live there already today! So
regardless of the timing of the second coming of Christ, we would do well to follow the traditional spiritual practice of a
daily examination of conscience to see where we are doing well and where we need to make changes. Taking such a deliberate spiritual inventory is an excellent way to help us be ready for Jesus like those servants "who await their master's return
from a wedding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks."
19º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
¿Dónde tenemos nuestro tesoro? El texto del Evangelio de hoy nos muestra diversos centros de atención. Veremos en lo que
Jesús enfatiza en diferentes ocasiones y es la imagen del tesoro para hablar del Reino. El tesoro es deseado, es algo así como
sacarnos la lotería cada semana que la rifan, o que nos llegue una herencia no esperada. En la vida nos encontramos rodeados
de tesoros que nos quieren vender muchas cosas con la promesa de ser felices. Sin embargo, Jesús nos dice que poseer el
Reino de Dios implica otra cosa a la que debemos poner atención. Esta va en la medida de donde ponemos los bienes que
tenemos, del cómo compartimos nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro con los demás. Se trata de no acumular, sino de buscar y
dar, dar siempre, para obtener el tesoro que no se acaba. La seguridad de pertenecer al grupo de Jesús no está en querer todo,
sino en confiar en Dios. Eso es lo difícil porque se tiene la tendencia de aferrarse a las cosas materiales, el dinero, la ropa, el
carro, la casa y tantas otras cosas que se podrían mencionar. ¿Cómo hacer para que a partir de hoy aumente la confianza en
Dios? ¿Dónde está a lo que me aferro? ¿Qué me aleja de Dios? Para responder a estas preguntas Jesús nos explica tres
parábolas: el patrón que regresa de su boda y encuentra a los siervos atentos y vigilantes, y prepara la mesa para ellos; el
ladrón que entra a la casa, roba y se lleva todo; y la del administrado fiel que cuando llega el patrón lo encuentra trabajando.
Cumplir, confiar, comprometerse y trabajar. ¡Ahí está el tesoro!

Sharing the Gospel
Talk to God in prayer every day. Tell him when you are afraid. Tell him when you are happy. Tell
him that you love him. Obey his commandments. Be a light to others. Show them by your shining
example how to be a Christian. Feed the hungry. Give drink to the thirsty. Give clothes to the
needy. Forgive yourself and others. When Jesus, the Son of Man comes to get you, you will be
ready. One day Jesus will come back from heaven. He could come back any day now - nobody
knows when. So, you and I need to be ready. Put God first in your life. Love God with your whole
heart. Live every day in a way that will make Jesus smile. Be ready to go to heaven!
Prayer
Dear Jesus, help me to stay close to You.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of Jesus coming back in the clouds.
