In the Vineyard
|
|
As usual, today’s first and third scripture readings are
obviously related, with the second continuing one of Paul’s
Letters-these days, the Letter to the Philippians. The
vineyard stories from Isaiah and Matthew both talk about
evildoers coming to a bad end.
In Isaiah, it’s the vineyard itself that produces “wild
grapes” instead of the crop the owner dreamed of and
worked for. So it will be “trampled” and “overgrown with
thorns.” In Matthew, those to whom the owner leased the
vineyard destroy the dream. So the owner “will put those
wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to
other tenants” (Matthew 21:41).
Yes, if we reject divine love we come to a bad end. And
with all this talk of the unfaithful being trampled and thrown
out, it’s consoling to hear Paul’s message to the Philippians,
who were by no means perfect. “Have no anxiety at all,”
Paul said. “Then the God of peace will be with you”.
(Philippians 4:6, 9).
En la Viña
Como de costumbre, la primera y tercera lecturas
de las Escrituras del día de hoy están evidentemente
relacionadas, mientras que la segunda lectura continúa una
de las cartas de Pablo, que en estos días es la conocida
carta a los filipenses. Las historias de la viña, de Isaías y
Mateo, hablan de malhechores que van a “acabar mal”.
En Isaías, es la propia viña la que produce “uvas
amargas” en vez de la cosecha que el dueño soñaba con
tener y por la que trabajó. Por lo tanto, la viña será
“pisoteada” y “cubierta con espinos”. En Mateo, son aquellos a los que el dueño arrendó la viña los que destruyeron el
sueño. Por consiguiente el dueño “hará morir sin compasión
a esa gente tan mala y arrendará la viña a otros” (Mateo 21:41).
Efectivamente, si rechazamos el amor divino vamos
a acabar mal. Además con todo este hablar sobre los infieles
que son pisoteados y expulsados, es un consuelo oír el
mensaje de Pablo a los Filipenses quienes, bajo ningún
concepto, eran perfectos. “No se inquieten por nada”, dice
Pablo (Filipenses 4:6). “Y el Dios de la paz estará con
ustedes” (Filipenses 4:9). |

October 4th
“When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her that she would conceive
and bear a son, Mary responded with her fiat, “May it be done to me according
to your word” (Lk 1:38). Mary conceives Christ in her womb, becoming the
mother of God, the mother of Jesus. Jesus himself tells us that he is “the
way and the truth and the life” (Jn 14:6).
In becoming the mother of Jesus,
Mary becomes the mother of life. Mary’s acceptance in this unforeseen
moment demonstrates how each of us must welcome the gift of new human
life, even when that gift is unexpected or calls us to make sacrifices.” - - - Nuestra Segunda Colecta de este fin de semana es por el “Domingo del Respeto a la Vida”
“Cuando el ángel Gabriel se apareció a María para decirle que concebiría y
daría a luz un hijo, María respondió con su fiat: "que se cumpla en mí lo que
has dicho" (Lc 1, 38). María concibe a Cristo en su seno, y se convierte en la
madre de Dios, la madre de Jesús. Jesús mismo nos dice que Él es “el Camino,
la Verdad y la Vida” (Jn 14, 6).
Al convertirse en la madre de Jesús, María
se convierte en la madre de la vida. La aceptación de María en este momento
imprevisto demuestra cómo cada uno de nosotros debe acoger el don de
una nueva vida humana, incluso cuando ese don es inesperado o nos
exige sacrificios.” |

"When you say your, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is nothing in the Church that I love as much as the rosary."
- Our Lady of the Rosary - - - Nuestra Señora del Rosario
7 De Octubre
“Cuando rezas el Rosario, los ángeles se regocijan.
La Santísima Trinidad se complace en él.
El sol mismo encuentra alegría en su oración y yo
también soy más feliz de lo que puedes imaginar.
Después del Santo Sacrificio de la Misa, no hay nada en
la Iglesia que ame tanto como el Rosario. ”
- Nuestra Señora del Rosario |

The Importance of Church Registration |
|
Being registered in the church, (as well as the use of envelopes) is vital in order for us to issue accurate reference letters that you may require.

|
Becoming a godparent/sponsor |
|
Being chosen as a godparent for baptism is an honor, for the godparent traditionally becomes a spiritual companion to the one being baptized in a journey of faith. Please decide if your faith life makes you ready to publicly pledge that you have been leading a life in harmony with the Catholic tradition.
