Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 7, 2011 Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven. — Psalm 85:12
Paul Hunter Parish Business Administrator iccphunter@tampabay.rr.com
THE PRESENCE OF GOD After the miracle of Jesus walking on water, the disciples exclaimed, “Truly, you are the Son of God” (Matthew 14:33). Most Christians will probably never experience such a dramatic miracle. Like Elijah, we await the manifestation of God in other moments. Perhaps the biggest challenge for the believer is to be constantly attuned to the possible presence of God in the everyday events of life. This is a stance that takes some people years to develop. Others seem to find the Lord easily in the simple things. As the week unfolds, let us look for the presence of God in the little things around us. Perhaps, like Elijah, we will be surprised at what we find. And, like the disciples, we can add our voice to the confession, “Truly you are the Son of God.” © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

August 7, 2011 Dear Lifesaving Donor, Right now our Tampa Bay blood supply is at critical levels for Blood Donors with Rh- blood types, a rare blood type. So we are asking again on behalf of patients for you to “pay it forward” so it will be there for them and for you when you need it most.
OUTSIDE SHRINE Statue of the Holy Family including the base to be placed in our school courtyard This is a $10,500 project. We will gladly accept donations to make this a reality. Memorialize your deceased loved one or someone living who has played an important role in your life! For information about this unique opportunity call Mr. Paul Hunter at 813-885-7861.
As part of our genetic make up, each of us has a certain blood type. Some are more rare than others and only compatible for transfusions with certain blood types. Naturally, someone who shares your own blood type can probably be a match for you. Yet since only 6% of people have type A negative blood and only 2% type B negative there are few donors of these types. The only other type you can receive is from the 7% who have type O negative, which is universal donor blood. However, since this is the type often given in emergencies to trauma patients, as well as new born babies, and the only one that people with type O negative can receive it is always in short supply. The fact that all Rh negative types are rare and patients with these blood types have few compatible choices when they need it most is why we have trouble keeping enough on our hospital shelves. This is why you often hear from us asking for you to donate whole blood or an automated double red cell donation. We are grateful for you ongoing vital support, Your Florida Blood Services
OUR NEXT BLOOD DRIVE IS SCHEDULED FOR NEXT SUNDAY. You can make a difference! Save a life by donating blood next Sunday!

NUESTRA CULTURA Los temores y el sentido de inseguridad de muchos de los hispanos que viven indocumentados en este país vienen, más que de elementos meteorológicos, de las “tormentas” y vientos anti-inmigratorios que se levantan a menudo y sobre todo, como en los momentos presentes, en momentos de amenaza política o económica para el país. ©Nuestra Parroquia Page 9

10 de agosto ♦ Santa Edith Stein Era hija de judíos ortodoxos alemanes. Fue una brillante intelectual, que había abandonado la fe de sus padres y se había declarado atea. Una noche, leyendo la vida de santa Teresa de Ávila, se convirtió al catolicismo e ingresó en la orden carmelita. Fue arrestada por los nazis junto con su hermana Rosa (también convertida al catolicismo) y murió en la cámara de gas en Austwitz el 9 de agosto de 1942, en solidaridad con el pueblo judío. ¿Has sentido alguna vez tentación de abandonar la fe de tus padres? ¿Qué preguntas tienes? ¿Dónde encuentras respuesta o reafirmación de tu fe?
Un pensamiento: "El perdón se opone al rencor y la venganza, no a la justicia" Juan Pablo II

LA PRESENCIA DE DIOS Después del milagro en que Jesús camina sobre el agua, los discípulos exclaman: “Verdaderamente, tú eres el Hijo de Dios” (Mateo 14:33). Es probable que la mayoría de los cristianos nunca vivan un milagro tan dramático. Igual que Elías, esperamos la manifestación de Dios en otros momentos. Tal vez el más grande reto para el creyente es estar en constante sintonía con la presencia de Dios en los sucesos de la vida diaria. Es una postura que toma años desarrollar. Otros parecen encontrar al Señor con facilidad en las cosas simples. A medida que transcurre la semana, busquemos la presencia de Dios en las pequeñas cosas que nos rodean. Quizás, como a Elías, nos sorprenderá lo que encontremos. Y, como los discípulos, podemos agregar la confesión: Verdaderamente, tú eres el Hijo de Dios”. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
