Observations for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Cycle A
The readings for this Sunday challenge us with the truth that human thinking is different from divine thinking, that God’s ways are higher than Man’s ways. And yet we are invited, even commanded, to learn this higher Way of the Lord and to follow it. The best teacher of the ways of God is Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Son of Mary, the One who took on our human form, to do for us what we could not do for ourselves, provide the reparation required to restore us to a life-giving relationship with God Most High. Jesus shows us the way to the Father. It is a path for the humble of heart, who are open to being renewed in their thinking, to learning the ways of God, His justice, His mercy, His grace, His love.
To learn from Christ, most gentle and humble of heart, it is good to spend time with Him. We can do this privately, in times of prayer, Scripture study, even when we enjoy the natural beauty of His creation around us. In a most wonderful way, we can spend time with Jesus in the celebration of the Holy Mass. And spending time with Him in Eucharistic Adoration gives us the opportunity to deepen our understanding of His profound humility.
How humble, the Lord of Glory, Who not only emptied Himself and took on our human form, but instituted the memorial of His Paschal Mystery in the Most Holy Eucharist, in the forms of bread and wine. Body and blood, soul and divinity, Christ truly present, truly humble, truly loving us.

Las lecturas de este domingo nos desafían con la verdad de que los procederes humanos son distintos del proceder divino, y de que los caminos de Dios son más elevados que los caminos del hombre. Y, sin embargo, se nos invita —e incluso se nos manda— a aprender este Camino del Señor, que es superior, y a seguirlo. El mejor maestro de los caminos de Dios es Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios e Hijo de María; Aquel que asumió nuestra condición humana para hacer por nosotros lo que no podíamos hacer por nuestra cuenta: ofrecer la reparación necesaria para restaurar nuestra relación vivificante con Dios Altísimo. Jesús nos muestra el camino hacia el Padre. Es una senda para los humildes de corazón, dispuestos a renovar su manera de Pensar y a aprender los caminos de Dios: su justicia, su misericordia, su gracia y su amor.
Para aprender de Cristo, manso y humilde de corazón, es bueno pasar tiempo con Él. Podemos hacerlo en privado: en momentos de oración, en el estudio de las Escrituras e incluso al disfrutar de la belleza natural de su creación que nos rodea. De una manera maravillosa, podemos pasar tiempo con Jesús en la celebración de la Santa Misa; y dedicar tiempo a estar con Él en la adoración eucarística nos brinda la oportunidad de profundizar en nuestra comprensión de su tremenda humildad.
¡Qué humilde es el Señor de la Gloria! Él no solo se despojó de sí mismo y sumió nuestra
condición humana, sino que instituyó el memorial de su Misterio Pascual en la Santísima
Eucaristía, bajo las especies de pan y vino. Cuerpo y sangre, alma y divinidad: Cristo
verdaderamente presente, verdaderamente humilde, amándonos en verdad.

Rejoice in Hope – Your Pledge Card Matters
As we continue our Rejoice in Hope Capital Campaign to build a new Faith Formation Center for our children and youth, we ask every parishioner to please return your pledge card.
Knowing how many families are participating and what they are able to pledge helps us plan responsibly and determine how we can move forward with this important project.
Every pledge matters, regardless of the amount.
Most importantly, your participation shows our young people that our parish family believes in their faith and their future.
Please prayerfully consider your commitment and return your pledge card to the church office or place it in the offertory basket.
Together, with faith and hope, we can build a place
where generations of young people
will come to know, love, and serve Christ.

Rejoicémonos en la Esperanza –

Mientras continuamos con nuestra Campaña de Capital “Rejoicémonos en la Esperanza” para construir un nuevo Centro de Formación en la Fe para nuestros niños y jóvenes, les pedimos a todos nuestros feligreses que por favor entreguen su tarjeta de compromiso.
Saber cuántas familias están participando y cuánto pueden comprometerse nos ayuda a planificar responsablemente y a determinar cómo podemos seguir adelante con este importante proyecto.
Cada compromiso es importante, sin importar la cantidad.
Lo más importante es que su participación demuestra a nuestros jóvenes que nuestra familia parroquial cree en su fe y en su futuro.
Por favor, consideren en oración su compromiso y entreguen su tarjeta de compromiso en la oficina de la iglesia o colóquenla en la canasta de la colecta.
Juntos, con fe y esperanza, podemos construir
un lugar donde generaciones de jóvenes
puedan llegar a conocer, amar y servir a Cristo.
Opening prayer of Novena to Our Lady of Sorrows: O, Mother most holy and sorrowful, Queen of Martyrs, you who stood by your Son as He agonized on the cross; by the sufferings of your life, by that sword of pain that pierced your heart, by your perfect joy in heaven, look down on me kindly as I kneel before you, sympathizing with your sorrows and offering you my petition with childlike trust. Dear Mother, since your Son refuses you nothing, ask of His Sacred Heart to mercifully grant what I ask, through the merits of His sacred passion, along with those of your sufferings at the foot of the cross. Mother most merciful, to whom shall I go in my misery if not to you who pities us poor, sinful exiles in this valley of tears? In our name, offer Jesus but one drop of His most precious blood, but one pang of His loving heart. Remind Him that you are our sweetness, our life, and our hope, and your prayer will be heard. Amen.
