GRACE IS EVERYWHERE Grace is everywhere. People of faith act on this belief. As Christians we are called to reach deeply into ourselves and find God’s presence there. We are called to reach outside ourselves and find God there, too. The reality of grace has sustained and nourished people beyond numbering. The church never tires of telling the story of the loaves and fishes. It is narrated no less than six times in the four Gospels. We imagine the hesitant apostles reaching into the baskets and finding bread, always more bread. We anticipate the ending. The apostles will wear out before the bread runs out. At another time and place, Isaiah also spoke of an abundance, this time of water, sweet honey, and rich milk. Always, always God is a gift-giver, and we the receivers. Our response is doxology, or praise. In the second reading Paul provides the words and attitude. Praise is everywhere. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

MIRACLES OF MULTIPLICATION Many believers admit that when faced with life-threatening illness, all that can be done in many instances is to throw one’s hands up in total helplessness and, in desperation, call upon God. The miracle that can occur is often not a cure of the illness. The miracle may be the strength and courage given by God to move through the pain and grief with hearts of faith. Remember what Saint Paul tells us today. “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life … nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” When we know deep hunger for meaning and direction, when we are at our lowest, let us heed the words of the prophet Isaiah, and come to the Lord, that we may have life. If five loaves and two fish can be multiplied miraculously to feed thousands, then surely the compassion and love of Christ Jesus can be multiplied again and again for those whose hearts hunger and thirst for healing and wholeness.

ADMITTING OUR HELPLESSNESS Jesus’ disciples, after a long day of preaching and healing, find themselves confronted with thousands of hungry people who need to be fed. They themselves were no doubt hungry and thirsty. In desperation, they turn to the Lord and ask him to tell the people to go to the towns and villages to buy food. Jesus tells them to give the people food themselves. They admit that they can come up with only five loaves and two fish, hardly enough to feed even themselves. It was only after the disciples admitted their total helplessness in the situation that the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fish occurred. Where is the lesson for us? It is in admitting our helplessness in life’s most difficult moments that a miracle may perhaps be waiting for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Company

Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 3 de agosto de 2014 Todos ustedes, los que tienen sed, vengan por agua. — Isaías 55:1a
Domingo 3 de Agosto. Domingo 18 del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Jesús, presente en la Sagrada Eucaristía, da a este sacramento una eficacia sobrenatural infinita. Nosotros, cuando deseamos expresar nuestro amor a una persona le damos algún objeto, le hacemos favores y le brindamos ayuda, procuramos estar pendientes de esa persona, pero siempre encontramos un límite: no podemos darnos nosotros mismos. Jesucristo sí puede. Se nos da Él mismo, uniéndonos a Él, identificándonos con Él. Y nosotros, que le buscamos le encontramos en la Sagrada Comunión. Él nos espera a cada uno. No aguarda a que le pidamos, nos cura de nuestras flaquezas, nos protege contra el peligro, contra las vacilaciones que pretenden separarnos de Él, y aviva nuestro caminar. Cada Comunión es una fuente de gracia, una nueva luz y un nuevo impulso que, a veces sin notarlo, nos da fortaleza para la vida diaria para afrontarla con valor y para que nuestros quehaceres nos lleven a Él. La participación de estos beneficios depende, sin embargo, de la calidad de nuestras disposiciones interiores, porque los sacramentos producen un efecto mayor cuanto más perfectas son las disposiciones en que se los recibe. Disposiciones habituales del alma y del cuerpo, de deseos cada vez mayores de limpieza y purificación. Cada Eucaristía es un momento privilegiado para sentir la voz de Jesús que nos dice como a Pedro: “Ven”, y también, para decirle, juntos, como discípulos postrados en la barca: “Realmente eres el Hijo de Dios” La Eucaristía tiene un valor infinito. Venimos a Misa para celebrar algo en común: esa debe ser nuestra actitud, y no la de encerramos en nosotros mismos: somos Pueblo de Dios, somos el Cuerpo de Cristo, somos una comunidad. Porque todos formamos esta Iglesia en pequeño, los demás tienen en algún sentido derecho a nuestra presencia; así les ayudamos a celebrar mejor y a animarse en su fe. Debemos ser puntuales: por respeto a la comunidad y a lo que vamos a celebrar. No deberíamos quedar dispersos por los bancos de la iglesia, sino agruparnos razonablemente delante, para crear un clima más expresivo de comunidad celebrante. Debemos adoptar una postura interior y exterior de activa participación: en la escucha atenta, en la oración y el canto; porque es toda la comunidad la que celebra. Participamos en la Eucaristía dominical con gozo: no sólo porque es un precepto (las cosas no son importantes porque están mandadas, sino que están mandadas porque son importantes) Necesitamos la Eucaristía para seguir viviendo nuestra fe y creciendo en nuestra conciencia de que pertenecemos a una comunidad cristiana: la Iglesia. Agradezcamos a Dios la facilidad que tenemos para acercarnos a Él, preparémonos muy bien para recibirle, como si fuera la única comunión de toda nuestra vida, como si fuera la última.
813-885-7861
Que compartiera del todo nuestra vida. Es el máximo modo de decirnos que Él, Dios, se interesa absolutamente por nosotros, por cada hombre y cada mujer, de un modo que nunca hubiéramos podido imaginar. Lo único que hace es pedirnos colaboración como pidió los cinco panes y los dos peces. La comunión significa puesta en común. Sólo así es como surge el amor. A los hambrientos dales de tu pan. A los tristes, sin embargo, ábreles tu corazón.
ATENCIÓN!
Debido a la limpieza de los salones de la parroquia el grupo de oración de Incarnation se reunirá en St. Clement el 5 de agosto. Los invitamos a todos.
CONVOCACION AL TALENTO DE NUESTRA PARROQUIA
Si tienes algún talento artístico en el área musical, danza y hasta como poeta o si simplemente quieres ayudar en la logística del evento, TE NECESITAMOS. El Padre Jairo está muy entusiasmado con el próximo Sabor Latino que se va a festejar el 25 de Octubre y quisiera incluir muchos actos. Va a ser un día para compartir y de mucha alegría. Si deseas compartir tu talento por favor comunícate vía email amintawt@gmail.com.
P. Jairo Para reflexionar Ante nuestros problemas, Jamás Dios nos dice: No es mi problema Ante nuestros problemas, nuestras dificultades, nuestros agobios, también ante nuestro pecado personal, Dios, nuestro Padre, nunca dice: No es mi problema. Nunca nos despide, para que resolvamos solos nuestros problemas. Nuestros problemas Él los siente y vive como propios. Nunca nos deja solos con ellos. Esto es lo que explica el maravilloso hecho de que el Hijo de Dios se hiciera del todo hombre.

Balancear la presencia de Dios en la familia, las necesidades individuales y las necesidades de la pareja son un trabajo continuo que resulta ser MUY productivo...
