f r o m o u r pa sto r / d e n u e st r o pá r r o co
fr. michael p. hanifin
Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/
Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima,
In the gospel of Luke (LK 16:19-31) Jesus conveys a parable about a rich man
and a poor beggar named Lazarus. There are two concerns presented in today’s
gospel: getting to heaven and caring for the poor. It may not come as a surprise
to you that the indifference of the rich man toward the poor beggar was a litmus
test for his worthiness to receive a favorable heavenly reward.
For modern day Catholics faith and baptism play an important role in our acceptance into God’s eternal kingdom but at the same time the way we treat each
other, and especially the neediest among us is just as important to our eternal
salvation.
I encourage you to give money to charitable organizations, but our heavenly Father is looking for something
beyond simply writing a check. He is looking for people who welcome the poor into their hearts, something
the rich man in this parable never did. God is looking for people who will treat the homeless, the needy and the
alien with the same dignity and attention they give to the wealthiest and most satisfied among us.
Jesus told this parable to show that our faith is not individualist. As children of God, we are all members of the
same family, the rich, the poor, the homeless and the stranger. We all belong to each other and our Heavenly
Father expects us to treat each other with equal love, compassion and dignity.
En el evangelio de Lucas (Lc 16:19-31) Jesús transmite una parábola acerca de un hombre rico y un pobre mendigo llamado Lázaro. Hay dos problemas que se presentan en el evangelio de hoy: llegar al cielo y el cuidado
de los pobres. No es ninguna sorpresa para usted que la indiferencia del rico hacia el pobre mendigo fue una
prueba de fuego para su mérito para recibir una recompensa celestial favorable.
Para los católicos de hoy en día la fe y el bautismo, juegan un papel importante para nuestra aceptación y poder
entrar en el reino eterno de Dios, pero al mismo tiempo la forma en que tratamos a los demás, especialmente a
los más necesitados entre nosotros es tan importante para nuestra salvación eterna.
Les animo a dar dinero a organizaciones de caridad, pero nuestro Padre celestial está buscando algo más allá de
simplemente escribir un cheque. Él está buscando a personas que dan la bienvenida a los pobres en su corazón,
algo que el hombre rico de la parábola nunca hizo. Dios está buscando personas que tratarán a vagabundos, los
necesitados y los extranjeros con la misma dignidad y atención que se le da a los más ricos y los más satisfechos
entre nosotros.
Jesús contó esta parábola para mostrar que nuestra fe no es individualista. Como hijos de Dios, todos somos
miembros de una misma familia, los ricos, los pobres, los vagabundos y el extranjero. Todos pertenecemos el
uno al otro y nuestro Padre Celestial espera que tratemos a los demás con el mismo amor, compasión y dignidad.

If the last time you studied about your Catholic faith was as a
teenager, then it is time to update your knowledge. Join with other

sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as indicated. Wednesday
sessions will be held in Room A and Saturday sessions in Room E of

Attention Prospective Altar Servers
Our Lady of Fatima invites all youth, 4th grade through high school,
who have received First Holy Communion, to become an altar

neighbor, to meet other servers in the parish and to grow in the
knowledge and practice of the Catholic faith. We will have a training
on October 5th, 2013 following the 8am Mass (so about 8:30am). It
will last about an hour. For servers at the parish school, we will have
training during school hours on October 10th, 2013. Whether new
or not, all altar servers are encouraged to attend. Please visit the parish website at www.olfchurch.net/WORSHIP.html or the office to fill
out the registration form.
Atención futuros Monaguillos
Nuestra Señora de Fátima invita a todos los jóvenes, de 4to grado
hasta la secundaria, que han recibido la Primera Comunión, a ser
monaguillo. Esta es una gran manera de crecer en nuestro servicio
de Dios y nuestro prójimo, a conocer a otros servidores en la parroquia y a crecer en el conocimiento y la práctica de la fe Católica.
Tendremos un entrenamiento el 5 de octubre, 2013 al terminar la
Misa de 8am (mas o menos a las 8:30)am. Durará aproximadamente
una hora y sera solamente en Ingles. Para los servidores de la escuela
parroquial, tendremos entrenamiento durante las horas escolares

Look for their table at the ocean entrance as well on the patio of

directly to local troops like ours to support troop activities. Troop
737 continues to thrive with ninety registered Scouts. Each Scout

used to offset the costs associated with activities and equipment.
