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.

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!
20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three." What a sad image Jesus paints
in today's Gospel. Causing family strife--fathers against sons and mothers against daughters--is not the effect we like to
imagine Jesus having on people. But as he says today, "Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I
tell you, but rather division." The fact is, and always has been, that not everyone chooses to follow Christ. This causes conflict. Perhaps it is most tragic when this tension takes place within families. When certain members of the family desire to
live a full Christian life, to follow the commandments and worship God as he asks, this can be irritating at best and infuriating at worst to other family members who want nothing to do with Jesus or his church. But faith must persist in spite of domestic turmoil. Following Jesus is the ultimate good; preserving peace is secondary. In a sense, today's Gospel gives faithful
Christians permission to move forward in their faith even if it doesn't make everybody happy. However, all of this needs to
be understood in the light of Jesus' desire to bring peace. He often used the greeting, "Peace be with you," and clearly promised peace to his disciples. Today's Gospel should not be taken to mean that Jesus desires division. Rather, he is acknowledging the fact that division will inevitably result as people declare their differing allegiances. But thankfully, when we align
ourselves with Christ, we are also uniting ourselves to the One who can restore peace even in the midst of conflict. So when
we see turmoil arise, let's call upon the power of the true Prince of Peace.
20º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El Evangelio de hoy tiene un tono muy fuerte. Las palabras de Jesús desconciertan tanto en su tiempo como en el nuestro.
"He venido a traer fuego a la tierra y ¡cuánto desearía que ya estuviera ardiendo!" (Lc 12, 49). Estas palabras nos pueden
poner en desconcierto y se deben de explicar. Ya que de otra forma se pueden formar malentendidos. ¿Qué significa el que
Jesús trae fuego y división entre nosotros? La respuesta es que todo es cuestión de fe y que ésta no es decorativa en la vida
del cristiano. Va más allá, es elegir a Dios como el centro de toda actividad, sabiendo que Dios es toda misericordia, fidelidad y vida dada en su Hijo Jesús. El Papa Francisco, nos dice que. "Jesús es nuestra paz, nuestra reconciliación. Pero esta
paz no es la paz de los sepulcros, no es neutralidad, Jesús no trae neutralidad, esta paz no es una componenda a cualquier
precio. Seguir a Jesús comporta renunciar al mal, al egoísmo y elegir el bien, la verdad, la justicia, incluso cuando esto requiere sacrificio y renuncia a los propios intereses" (Ángelus de 18 de agosto de 2013). Al hacer la lucha de vivir estos consejos que el Papa Francisco nos brinda, debemos estar seguros de que vamos a luchar. Porque esto sí trae división aun en las
relaciones más cercanas. La sociedad actual está dividida por la necesidad de paz; existe mucha violencia y ahí en esa vida
de incertidumbre no se puede tener la paz de practicar y vivir la fe. ¡La fe y la violencia no se llevan! En cambio la fe y la
fortaleza de espíritu van juntas. Pidamos al Señor que nos haga instrumentos fuertes de paz.
Generations of Faith Campaign/Campaña de Generaciones de Fe
Thank you so much for your financial commitment to the Generations of Faith Campaign. Your financial promise over the next 5 years
is truly appreciated. Help us continue the work we need to do for Christ and His people by donating each month toward fulfilling your
commitment. Donating each month will be a tremendous help to what we must accomplish in our parish and our Diocese, especially for
educating our young people about the faith and our retired and sick priests. Thank you for your support, Rev. Kenneth J. Grande

parroquia y nuestra Diócesis, especialmente para educar a los jóvenes acerca de la fe y de nuestros sacerdotes jubilados y enfermos. Gracias por su apoyo, Rev. Kenneth J. Grande
Sharing the Gospel
Jesus came to make people choose sides. If your sister wants you to steal a toy at the store, Jesus wants you to choose to work for the money to buy it. If your brother wants you to beat up a
boy, Jesus wants you to talk instead. When you want to keep all of your lollipops, he wants you to
share. He wants you to choose his way of goodness, not evil. When you talk about Jesus, you will
probably get a strong reaction from people. Some people love Jesus with their whole heart, and
their lives really show it. Other people don't want to follow Jesus, and talking about him may even
make them angry. Families and friends can be torn apart by that anger. No matter what, stay
close to Jesus, and he will stay close to you.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, make me strong so that I choose goodness, not evil.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of yourself on the road of goodness.
Mission for the Week
When you are tempted to do evil, pray, "Make me strong, Lord."
