Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time,

February 17, 2019

Dear Parishioners and Friends:

“Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours… But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. ” [Luke 6:20b & 24]

Jesus begins his famous Sermon on the Plain in Luke’s Gospel by turning the world on its head. What are we to make of these most profound directives? Jesus is asking “what are you rooted in?” & “what gives you life and security?” Most of us think that a solid savings ac-count means security. But what SAVES you? Not how much you have saved! Understand that Jesus came to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable!

Stewardship is a an attitude of co-responsibility for the reign of God, where we are conscious of God’s in-credible generosity and mercy to us in saving us through Christ and for all the good things we have received. Be-cause, no matter how hard we have worked, they are still God’s blessings upon us, gifts to be shared with others. Rooted in the vision of God’s amazing graces to us, we nurture and share our time, talents, and treasure with others.

Several people have asked me about tithing. [simple summary] The ancient biblical tithe was 10% of your income (Genesis 14:20b). To break that out in an ideal way, the church recommends that the faithful give half of that to your parish and the other half to charity. l% of the second 5% is recommended to be given to ones dio-cese [e.g. the BAA]. So there you have a thumbnail sketch of classical tithing. Unfortunately precious few Catholics tithe. It takes years of faithful financial discipline in giving God the first fruits of ones labor before this biblical stand-ard can be accomplished. Those whom I have met who do this are incredibly happy people.

Question for the week: When have I taken delight in sharing my abundance with others? Can you give an ex-ample when it was more blessed to give than to receive?

Word for the week: “stewardship”: means receiving God’s gifts with a grateful heart, nurturing God’s gifts re-sponsibly, and returning those gifts to God in abundance.

Your Pastor, Fr. Bob

Sexto Domingo en el Tiempo Ordinario

17 de Febrero. 2019

Queridos Feligreses y Amigos:

“Benditos sean los pobres, porque de ellos es el Reino de los Cielos…Pero ay de ti a los ricos, porque ya han recibido su con-suelo.” [Lucas 6:20b y 24]

Jesús comienza su Famoso Sermón en las Llanuras en el Evangelio de Lucas volviendo el mundo de cabeza. ¿Qué de-bemos de hacer de estas profundas directivas? Jesús está pre-guntando “¿En que estas enraizado?” Y “¿Que te da vida y se-guridad?” La mayoría de nosotros pensamos que una sólida cuenta de ahorros significa seguridad. Pero de que te SALVA/ No cuanto has ahorrado! ¡Entiendan que Jesús vino a confor-tar al afligido y a afligir al confortable!

Corresponsabilidad es una actitud de co- responsabili-dad para el reino de Dios, donde somos conscientes de la in-creíble generosidad y misericordia de Dios para con nosotros en salvarnos a través de Cristo y por todas las buenas cosas que hemos recibido. Porque no importa que tan fuerte hemos trabajado todavía son las bendiciones de Dios sobre nosotros, los regalos que debemos compartir con otros. Enraizados en la visión las maravillosas gracias de Dios para nosotros, cuida-mos y compartimos nuestro tiempo, talentos y tesoros con otros.

Varias personas me han preguntado acerca del diez-mo. [simple resumen] El antiguo bíblico diezmo era 10% de tus ingresos (Genesis 14:20b). Para separar eso en una manera ideal, la iglesia recomienda que los fieles den la mitad de eso a su parroquia y la otra mitad a caridad. 1% del segundo 5% es recomendado a ser dado a la diócesis [por ejemplo PAO] Así que allí tienen un diminuto trazo del diezmo clásico. Triste-mente muy pocos católicos dan el diezmo. Toma años de fiel disciplina financiera en dar a Dios los primeros frutos de la labor de uno antes de que esta norma bíblica sea realizada. Aquellos a los que yo conozco que hacen esto son personas in-creíblemente felices.

Pregunta de la semana: ¿Cuándo me he deleitado en compar-tir mi abundancia con otros? ¿Puedes dar un ejemplo de cuan-do fue más bendición el dar que el recibir?

Palabra de la semana: “corresponsabilidad” significa recibir los regalos de Dios con un corazón agradecido, cuidando los rega-los de Dios responsablemente y retornando esos regalos en abundancia.

Parish Finance Council: Some of the people who guide the parish in stewarding our finances, who are behind the scenes and you may never notice them, need some help. There are supposed to be 7 members of the parish who assist the pastor & financial staff in discerning and guiding the parish resources. This is a delicate task and not just anyone can do it. Please pray that parish members may come forward and offer their services to help plan our budgets and prudently care for the parish plant. While Joe Woodruff has been our anchor as our grounds maintenance man, guiding the hands-on details of so many things, Linda Zechmann, Phil Suess, and John Butler (chair) continue to serve on the Finance Council. Could you or someone you know assist on this working council that meets 8 or 9 times a year? Please contact Fr. Bob or one of the mem-bers if you are interested.

Consejo Financiero de la Parroquia: algunas de las personas que guían esta parroquia en la corresponsabilidad de nuestras finanzas, están detrás de la escena y puede que nunca las no-te, pero necesitan un poco de ayuda. Están supuestos a ser 7 miembros de la parroquia que ayudan al pastor y a los que tra-bajan en finanzas en discernir y guiar los recursos de la parro-quia. Esto es un trabajo delicado y no cualquiera puede hacer-lo. Por favor en oración rece porque miembros de la parroquia ofrezcan sus servicios para ayudar a planear nuestro presu-puesto y prudentemente cuidar de la planta de la parroquia. Mientras Joe Woodfruff ha sido nuestra ancla como nuestro hombre de mantenimiento de nuestros terrenos, guiado por las manos detallistas en muchos casos, de Linda Zechmann, Phil Suess, y John Butler (director) continúa sirviendo en el Consejo Financiero. ¿Podría usted o alguien que usted conoce ayudar en este consejo de trabajo que se reúne 8 o 9 veces al año? Por favor contacte al P. Bob o a uno de los miembros si está interesado.

Atención, Reunión del Ministerio Hispano el próximo domingo 24 de febrero a las 10:30 AM en el tiempo de ERP en el Salón Parroquial. Ya es hora de hacer planes y también de oír lo que Jason ha experimentado en el entrenamiento diocesano.

Our Adopted Babies Spiritual Adoption Program

Month 6

Your spiritually adopted baby is developing quite beautifully now. His weight is approaching two pounds. Babies born prematurely at this time have a very good chance of surviving. The medical advances in caring for extremely small newborn infants are ex-traordinary indeed. Don’t forget to pray for your baby. Abortion is legal through all nine months and his mom might still feet pressure to abort.

The next Deanery meeting will be on Tuesday, Febru-ary 26, 2019. Those CCW members who signed up for that day, please meet at the rectory at 11:00 am to set-up. Please watch your emails for further instruc-tions.

CCW will meet on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at 10:00 am. Linda Robison will be demonstrating Basket Weaving for us and refreshments will be served. New members are welcome, we would love to have you.
