Last weekend I had the blessing to impart a retreat to a
group of 75 people in Birmingham, AL. Many of these people
were not church goers and some claimed to have faith but
didn’t practice it. It was amazing to see the change from the
moment they arrived to the retreat on Friday morning to the
time they departed back home on Sunday afternoon. They
were smiling, some crying as they shared how this
experience took their burdens away. Some were happy to
know they were loved and accepted by God regardless of
their mistakes in life. The grace of our Lord was abundant for
each individual at that retreat. That same grace is waiting to
be outpoured to anyone open to receive it.
We are all familiar with today’s Gospel reading “The Prodigal
Son”. It is a popular story that perhaps many of us can
identify with, especially with the youngest son. If you have
been away from God for a while and you are reading this
little blurb, know that God is waiting for you with arms wide
open. There is no grave sin He cannot forgive so do not be
afraid. God is not waiting to punish you, on the contrary he
wants to celebrate your return home. Do not let fear deter
you from returning home. Just like the father in the story,
God too is faithfully waiting to hug you and to tell you how
much you are loved. There is a seat reserved at the table of
the Lord and it has your name on it. Welcome home!

Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Del Escritorio de Fr. Bismarck
¡Bienvenido a Casa!
11 de Septiembre 2016
El vino, el pan, y la vela del
tabernáculo pueden ser ofrecidas en
honor de un ser querido por un mes.
La semana pasada tuve la bendición impartir un retiro a un
grupo de 75 personas en Birmingham, Alabama. Muchas de
estas personas no eran tan visitantes de la iglesia y algunos
afirmaron tener fe, pero no lo practicaban. Fue
sorprendente ver el cambio de estas personas desde el
momento en que llegaron el viernes en la mañana al final
del retiro el domingo por la tarde. Estaban sonriendo,
algunos llorando mientras compartían cómo esta
experiencia les quito las cargas que traían. Algunos estaban
felices de saber que eran amados y aceptados por Dios a
pesar de sus errores en la vida. La gracia de nuestro Señor
fue abundante para cada individuo en ese refugio. Esa
misma gracia está esperando ser derramada a todo aquel
que este abierto para recibirla.
EL VINO que serán distribuidos hoy en todas las Misas
han sido ofrecidos por la salud y bienestar de Barbara
Maran.
Todos estamos familiarizados con el Evangelio de hoy "El
Hijo Pródigo". Es una historia popular que tal vez muchos de
nosotros podemos identificarnos con ella, especialmente
con el hijo más joven. Si usted ha estado alejado de Dios por
un tiempo y usted está leyendo esta pequeña reseña,
Quiero que sepas que Dios está esperándote con los brazos
abiertos. No hay pecado grave que Él no pueda perdonar.
Dios no te espera para castigarte por el contrario, el quiere
celebrar tu regreso. No dejes que el miedo te impida volver
a casa. Al igual que el padre en la historia, Dios también está
fielmente esperando para abrazarte y amarte y para decirte
lo mucho que eres amado. Hay una silla reservada en la
mesa del Señor esperando por ti, y la silla tiene tu nombre.
¡Bienvenido a casa!
