Everyday Stewardship
Recognize God in Your Ordinary Moments
"Get Together" was a popular song in 1967 by the Youngbloods. I was not alive
when the song was released, but it was a song I played frequently learning how to
play guitar when I was younger. The song called for all of us to come together and
"try to love one another right now." It was a song that came out in the Vietnam War
era and during somewhat of a hippie revolution, but perhaps the words belong to no
real moment in time. They are simply the commands of Jesus.
Sometimes we minimize the power of love by cute pop songs and slogans that
mean little without action. However, we can never underestimate the power of
love. Love can tear down barriers between people, change tears to laughter, and
mend relationships torn apart by sin.
No option exists for disciples of Jesus Christ to not love others. Not only are we
commanded to do so, but love is a gift we must pass on freely. If we give of our
time, talent, and treasure, but choose not to love, we cannot claim to be truly
committed disciples and good stewards. As this Easter season draws ever closer
to an end, we must allow our love to bear witness to the source of all love, the
Risen Jesus. This is our calling until, as the words of the Youngbloods' song states,
"the one who left us here returns for us at last."
~Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS (Mr. Welliver is an international Catholic speaker and writer. He was the
featured presenter at our October 2017 Parish Mission.)
La Corresponsabilidad Diaria
Reconocer a Dios en los Momentos
"Get Together" fue una canción popular en 1967 de los Youngbloods. Yo no
estaba vivo cuando salió la canción, pero era una canción que toqué muchas
veces cuando empezaba a aprender a tocar la guitarra cuando era joven. La
canción nos llamaba a reunirnos e "intentar amarnos ahora." Era una canción
que salió en la era de la Guerra de Vietnam y fue como una revolución hippy,
pero tal vez estas palabras no pertenecen a algún momento específico. Son
simplemente los mandamientos de Jesús.
A veces minimizamos el poder del amor con canciones lindas de pop y slogans
que no tienen mucho significado sin acción. Pero nunca podemos subestimar el
poder del amor. El amor puede derribar barreras entre la gente, cambiar lágrimas
en risas, y reparar relaciones que han sido destrozadas por el pecado.
Para los discípulos de Jesucristo no hay la opción de no amar. No es solo que
seamos encomendados para amar, el amor es un regalo que tenemos que pasar
libremente. Si damos nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro, pero sin amor, entonces
no podemos decir que somos discípulos comprometidos participando en la
corresponsabilidad. Ahora que acaba la Pascua, tenemos que dejar que nuestro
amor sea testigo de la fuente del amor, Jesús Resucitado. Este es nuestro
llamado hasta que, como dice la canción de los Youngbloods, "el que nos dejó
aquí regrese por fin."
PARISH MISSION STATEMENT
We are one community nourished and transformed by the Eucharist.
As the body of Christ, we are led by the Holy Spirit to know, love and serve God and one another.
Somos una comunidad alimentada y transformada por la Eucaristía. Como cuerpo de Cristo, somos guiados por el
Espíritu Santo, para conocer, amar y servir a Dios y unos a otros.
STEWARDSHIP / CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Gratitude in Action: Our Way of Life / Gratitud en Acción: Nuestra forma de Vida
Obedience. Sacrifice. Love. These actions speak of the
relationship between Jesus and His Father. We, too, are
called to this way of life.
While some might look at obedience and sacrifice as
difficult and shy away, believing there must be another
way in which to follow in Jesus’ footsteps and gain favor
with our Heavenly Father, a Steward knows the way to
the Father is through Jesus, and the way to our eternal
salvation is by way of the Cross. The Resurrection cannot
happen without first the Cross!
Have you ever been confronted with a situation, a
problem or a rather bothersome or troublesome event that
required your attention and a course of action you would
like to have avoided? You prayed about it. You felt God
was directing you one way, yet within, you wanted to
handle it differently. And you did! Things didn’t work
out like you had hoped, and you were left with feelings of
frustration and dissatisfaction.
Disobedience and sacrifice can both identify the choice to
do it your own way. With a sense of obedience, you
would have taken the path Jesus was presenting to you.
You would have sacrificed your personal agenda of
problem solving and taken God’s advice.
A Steward knows the Father’s merciful love forgives our
self-centered, “I’ll do it my own way” behavior and
allows us that second chance, the next time to do it right.
Thus, we, with greater love for our Father, resolve to
listen more carefully the next time and surrender to the
Will of the Father with its “proper” course.
“When I wake up every morning, I say, ‘Lord, thank you
for giving me another day. Please grant me the grace to
hear and obey you today.’. . . Beginning with prayer
keeps the distractions of daily life at bay, so that we do
not lose sight of God’s plan.”1

Stewardship and Engagement
Obediencia. Sacrificio. Amor. Estas acciones hablan de la
relación entre Jesús y Su Padre. Nosotros, también, estamos
llamados a esta forma de vida.
Mientras que algunos podrían considerar la obediencia y el
sacrificio como algo difícil y espantarse, creyendo que debe
haber otra manera de seguir los pasos de Jesús y obtener el
favor de nuestro Padre Celestial, un Corresponsable sabe
que el camino hacia el Padre es por medio de Jesús, y el
camino a nuestra salvación eterna es a través de la Cruz.
¡La Resurrección no puede suceder sin primero la Cruz!
¿Alguna vez te has enfrentado a una situación, un problema
o un evento bastante molesto o fastidioso que requirió tu
atención y un curso de acción que te gustaría haber evitado?
Tú oraste al respecto. Sentiste que Dios te estaba dirigiendo
de una manera, pero dentro de ti querías manejarlo de otra
manera. ¡Y tú lo hiciste! Las cosas no funcionaron como
esperabas, y te dejaron con sentimientos de frustración e
insatisfacción.
La desobediencia y el sacrificio pueden identificar la elec-
ción de hacerlo a tu manera. Con un sentido de obediencia,
habrías tomado el camino que Jesús te estaba presentando.
Habrías sacrificado tu agenda personal para resolver
problemas y haber seguido el consejo de Dios.
Un corresponsable sabe que el amor misericordioso del
Padre perdona nuestro comportamiento egocéntrico, "lo
haré a mi manera" y nos permite esa segunda oportunidad,
la próxima vez para hacerlo bien. Por lo tanto, nosotros, con
un mayor amor por nuestro Padre, decidimos escuchar con
más cuidado la próxima vez y rendirnos a la Voluntad del
Padre con su curso "apropiado".
"Cuando me levanto todas las mañanas, digo: 'Señor,
gracias por darme otro día. Por favor concédeme la gracia
de escucharte y obedecerte hoy "... Comenzar con la oración
mantiene a raya las distracciones de la vida cotidiana, para
que no perdamos de vista el plan de Dios "1 .
Pastor’s Message by Father Oscar Martin Picos
Sixth Sunday of Easter / Sexto Domingo de la Pascua
Vivimos en el mundo donde se nos invita a centrarnos
en el yo de una manera egoísta y cerrada. El yo que
quiere ser uno mismo sin tener en cuenta a los demás.
El yo que quiere imponerse. El yo que quiere surgir
caiga quien caiga. La fe en Jesús es la exaltación del
"Tú". El amor al que el Señor nos invita es una relación
amistosa con Dios y con los demás.
La vida de intimidad con Dios no significa un aislarse
del mundo circundante. La vida contemplativa es llevar
al interior del monasterio y del corazón las realidades
del mundo para transformarlas desde la oración y la
reflexión en el Señor.
Jesús es el que escogió a sus discípulos. Puede ser que
en algunas ocasiones oigas a alguien decir que cree en
Dios, o que se ha peleado con Dios por distintas
razones. No debemos olvidar nunca que no somos
nosotros quienes hemos escogido al Señor, ha sido Él
quien nos ha llamado. La vida cristiana es ni más ni
menos que la respuesta al amor de Dios que nos ha
llamado a la fe, una respuesta que no debe ser desde el
miedo ni la tensión de quien se siente amenazado. La
respuesta al amor de Dios debe ser el amor a Él y a los
demás, como amigos y hermanos. El amor borra las
distancias y establece la igualdad que es la condición
de la amistad.
Jesús nos ha escogido para el amor, para que nos
amemos unos a otros, no para discutir, pelearnos,
criticarnos... El cristiano debe vivir de tal manera que
enseñe a los que le rodean lo que es el amor a Dios y a
los demás. El ejemplo de cómo debe ser y vivirse ese
amor nos lo dio Jesús: "como yo les he amado".

We live in a world where the focus is often
on one’s self, rather than others. But faith in
Jesus is the exaltation of "You." The love to
which the Lord invites us is a friendly
relationship both with God and with others.
A life of intimacy with God does not mean isolation from
the surrounding world. The contemplative life accepts the
realities of the world and transforms them through prayer
and reflection in the Lord, just as He taught His disciples.
Many people believe in God, but question their faith for
various reasons. We must remember that it is not we who
have chosen the Lord; it is He Who has called us. The
Christian life is simply our response to the love of God.
Our response to God's love must be love for Him and for
others as friends and brothers. Love erases distances and
establishes the equality that is the condition of friendship.
Jesus has chosen
us for love, to
love one
another, not to
argue, fight, or
criticize. By
living as
Christians, we
can teach those
around us what
love of God and
others means.
For Jesus has
taught us:
“As the Father
loves me, so I
also love you.
Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments, you
will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's
commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this
so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be
complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I
love you."

Reluctant Catechist Seeks Advice
“I keep thinking there are people more qualified for this
than me. Any advice?”
We have many ancestors in faith who were just as
reluctant to respond positively to God’s call; Jeremiah,
Isaiah and Jonah, to mention a few.
I think reluctance is probably the hallmark of a good
catechist! The reluctance stems from the question: What
am I supposed to do? Proclaim the Good News of Jesus
Christ AND help the children to understand and live the
Catholic faith. There is also an immense richness of our
faith. There is, too, the uniqueness of each child that
makes us think, perhaps, that someone else – someone
other than me – would surely be a more effective
catechist. “Why me?”
(That is what I kept telling myself, but what I kept hearing
was, “Why not?”)
You can be a catechist, a good catechist. I know that
because you have been called by someone who sees in
you gifts that only you can bring. Gifts that are necessary
for the message of Jesus to be heard and understood.
The resources and materials you will be exposed to as a
catechist will refresh and expand your knowledge. You
will have access to others who can help you with your
own questions.
The Saint George parish is looking for catechists, males
and females, teachers and substitute teachers for all
grades, for the 2018-19 CCD school year which begins in
August and runs through May. You don’t have to be an
expert in Catholicism or a gifted teacher; you just need to
have a desire to share your faith and to inspire the
children of the parish. It is a joy to pass on the Church’s
truths to our children so that they too, might live in union
with God.
Act now! Our 2018 CCD season is coming to an end and
now is the perfect time to visit a classroom. If you are
interested in this great opportunity to serve your parish,
contact Jill Luttrell by email at [email protected]
or call the church office at 435-673-2604.
Catequista Renuente Busca Consejo
“Sigo pensando que hay personas más calificadas para
esto que yo. ¿Algún consejo?”
Tenemos muchos antepasados en la fe que fueron tan
reacios a responder positivamente a la llamada de Dios;
Jeremías, Isaías y Jonás, por mencionar algunos.
¡Creo que la renuencia es probablemente el sello
distintivo de un buen catequista! La resistencia se deriva
de la pregunta: ¿Qué se supone que debo hacer?
Proclamar las Buenas Nuevas de Jesucristo Y ayudar a
los niños a comprender y vivir la fe católica. También
hay una inmensa riqueza de nuestra fe. También existe
la singularidad de cada niño que nos hace pensar, quizás,
que otra persona, alguien más que yo, seguramente sería
un catequista más efectivo. "¿Por qué yo?"
(Eso es lo que me repetía a mí mismo, pero lo que
seguía escuchando era: "¿Por qué no?")
Puedes ser un catequista, un buen catequista. Lo sé
porque alguien te ha llamado para que vea en ti regalos
que solo tú puedes traer. Regalos que son necesarios
para que el mensaje de Jesús sea escuchado y entendido.
Los recursos y materiales a los que se expondrá como
catequista actualizarán y ampliarán tus conocimientos.
Tendrás acceso a otras personas que pueden ayudarte
con tus propias preguntas.
La parroquia de Saint George está buscando catequistas,
hombres y mujeres, maestros y maestros sustitutos para
todos los grados, para el año escolar 2018-19 CCD que
comienza en agosto y dura hasta mayo. No es necesario
ser un experto en catolicismo o un maestro talentoso;
solo necesita tener el deseo de compartir su fe e inspirar
a los niños de la parroquia. Es un placer transmitir las
verdades de las iglesias a nuestros hijos para que ellos
también puedan vivir en unión con Dios.
¡Actúa ahora! Nuestra temporada CCD 2018 está
llegando a su fin y ahora es el momento perfecto para
visitar un salón de clases. Si estás interesado en esta
gran oportunidad de servir a tu parroquia, comuníquese
con Jill Luttrell por correo electrónico a
[email protected] o llame a la oficina de la
iglesia al 435-673-2604.
