Thank you for your generosity!

A heartfelt "Thank You” goes out

to those that participated in

the House of Hope's Walk for

Life earlier this weekend. Our

Faith’s message of Pro-Life has to

be a solid point of unity for all

Christians around the world. When thinking

about abortion and its consequences, think of

the consequences how Satan had his way with

our Lord Jesus Christ during those critical mo-

ments that the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph and

Mary’s family discovered that she was with

child. What would our fate be today? This week

St. Matthew reminds us that our fear causes us

to lose faith. Do not be afraid to speak out about

abortion and its wicked consequences. Be nice,

but stand your ground!

May God continue to Bless You

and your Families!

the character of people and as a consequence it be-

comes difficult to have a sound relationship with their

family, spouse and co-workers. People who learn to

forgive in spite of their circumstances develop them-

selves better. The ESPERE group is offering a work-

shop of forgiveness and reconciliation to all who wish

to learn how to free themselves from depression, bit-

terness an disillusion to improve their inter-personal

relationships. The workshop will be held in English at

How can I repay the Lord for all the great good

done for me? Psalm 116:12

Today we wish to recognize those who not only sup-

port our parish, but also have made a gift or pledge

to the 2014 Bishop’s Annual Progress Appeal for

the Diocese of El Paso. On behalf of those who will

be served by your contributions, thank you to all

who have already completed their pledge payments,

as well as those who are still making payments. For

those of you who have not had an opportunity to

make a pledge or a gift this year, but still desire to

be a part of the 2014 campaign, Please complete a

pledge envelope located in the lobby. You may also

call in your gift to the Foundation office at

872-8412 or make gifts online at

www.elpasodiocesefoundation.org.

When each of our individual gifts are com-

bined with the gifts of other parishioners

throughout the diocese, each contributor makes a

very real difference in the ability of the Diocese of

El Paso to provide ministries and services. Thank

you again for your support.

Life Teen would like to extend

our heartfelt thanks and appreci-

ation to the following for their do-

nations of talent, time and money

to make the Retreat we had last

weekend a reality, and a huge success: Burger

King at Yarbrough, the Viescas Family, Marissa

Gerardo, Deacon John and Carol Farley and our

volunteers in the kitchen and our Adoration

Chapel. We believe your prayers and the prayers

of our parishioners kept the presence of the Holy

Spirit with us throughout the weekend. Most es-

pecially we would like to extend a very BIG

thanks to Our Knights of Columbus who donated

much of the food and their time to make our

event an experience our teens will long remem-

ber! Lastly, we extend a warm thank you and our

love to Fr. Beto who tirelessly helped us with

EVERYTHING as well as providing the Spir-

itual Direction. God Bless You All! God Bless Our

Teens!

¿Cómo podré pagar al Señor todo el bien

que me ha hecho? Salmo116:12

Hoy queremos reconocer a aquellos que no sólo apoyan a

nuestra parroquia, sino que también han hecho un dona-

tivo o una promesa de donativo a la Campaña Anual de

Progreso 2014 para el Obispo de la Diócesis de El Paso.

A nombre de los que recibirán esos servicios que harán

posible sus contribuciones, damos las gracias a todos los

que ya han terminado de pagar su promesa de donativo,

así como a aquellos que todavía están haciendo pagos.

Para aquellos de ustedes que no han tenido la oportuni-

dad de hacer una promesa o un donativo este año, pero

que aún desean ser parte de la campaña 2014, por favor

llene un sobre de promesa localizado al fondo de la igle-

sia. También puede usted llamar a la Oficina de

la Fundación al 872-8412 o hacer su donativo en

línea al www.elpasodiocesefoundation.org. Al

combinarse cada uno de nuestros donativos indi-

viduales con las contribuciones de otros feligre-

ses de toda la diócesis, cada donador hace una diferencia

real en la capacidad de la Diócesis de El Paso para pro-

porcionar ministerios y servicios. Gracias de nueva

cuenta por su apoyo.

PRESENCE It is difficult to be truly present to another. We

speak of putting in an appearance or showing up.

Even when we arrive, we are often distracted. We

think ahead, or we review an unsettled past. None-

theless, we are at our best when we truly show up.

We are most fully ourselves when we are absorbed

in something worthy of us: creative work, good con-

versation, prayer. In these instances we are wholly

ourselves and wholly outside ourselves. Elijah knew

this kind of engagement. He was one of God’s

great prophets. In today’s first reading,

he follows God’s command to journey

to that most holy place, Mount Horeb.

And there in great silence, Elijah en-

counters God. As for Peter and the

apostles, they discover the presence of

God after the storm at sea. They and

the sea and the winds are stunned into

silent reverence.

PRESENCIA Es difícil estar realmente presente ante otros. Habla-

mos de aparecernos o dar signo de presencia. Aun

cuando estamos allí, estamos distraídos. Pensamos en

lo que viene, o revisitamos un pasado no resuelto. Sin

embargo, somos lo mejor que podemos ser cuando es-

tamos realmente presentes. Somos nuestro más com-

pleto ser cuando estamos absorbidos en algo digno de

nosotros: trabajo creativo, buena conversación, ora-

ción. En estas ocasiones somos totalmente nosotros

mismos y totalmente fuera de nosotros. Elías conocía

ese tipo de participación. Él era uno de los

grandes profetas de Dios. En la primera

lectura, él sigue el mandamiento de Dios de

ir a un sitio sagrado, el Monte Horeb. Y allí

en gran silencio, el humilde Elías encontró

a Dios. Y Pedro y los Apóstoles descubrie-

ron la presencia de Dios después de la tor-

menta en el mar. Ellos, el mar y el viento se

quedaron mudos en silencio reverente.
