Sound Catholic practice encourages us to offer the Mass for the
departed and for those in any need. To request a Mass to be
offered, please visit the parish office or return to the office a
completed Mass intention card. Available cards are located in
the foyer of the church.

Anointing of the Sick
Because of the Privacy Act, hospitals and nursing homes are no
longer able to provide a list of the Catholic patients/residents for
the Churches use in order to visit and administer the Sacraments
of Holy Communion or Anointing of the Sick. Therefore, I need
your assistance when you have a family member who is
hospitalized or in a nursing home. Please call Fr. Orosco at the
Church Office at (972) 563-3643 so that I may be of assistance.

Sunday is the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary
Time. In Luke's Gospel, Jesus cautions us to be
ready for the coming of the Lord. “Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when
the thief was coming, he would not have let his house
be broken into.”
Monday is the Memorial of Saint Dominic,
Priest. Wednesday is the Feast of Saint
Lawrence, deacon and martyr. Thursday is
the Memorial of Saint Clare.
This week we begin reading from the Book of the
Prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel was a prophet to the
people in exile in Babylon. He uses dreams and
powerful symbolic visions - at first denouncing their
infidelity and then offering hope for restoration and
Stevelife.

In Matthew's Gospel this week we reflect upon
God's mercy and our call to imitate God's love. Jesus
predicts his passion and miraculously resolves a
conflict over temple tax. It is not the temple tax for
which he will be executed, but for what he reveals
about God's love and mercy to sinners. Jesus tells us
we should "become like children": innocent, loving,
trusting, humble. Jesus tells us the hard work we
should go through to reconcile with a sinner. He says
that whenever we are gathered together, in his name,
he is with us. He tells us to forgive - over and over
again - and tells the parable of the servant who is
forgiven but won't forgive a fellow servant. Jesus
speaks about the permanence of the marriage
commitment. Children were not regarded very highly
and the disciples tried to bar them from bothering
Jesus. Jesus welcomes them - and all the powerless
they represent: “for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

ESTEMOS PREPARADOS,
PORQUE NO SABEMOS NI EL DÍA NI LA
HORA…
AUGUST 7, 2016
Grupo de Oración
El Grupo de Oración se reúnen cada lunes en la
casa San Juan.
_________________________________________________
Unción de los Enfermos
Si usted o alguien que usted conozca está
necesitado en recibir comunión o el Sacramento
de la Unción de los Enfermos favor de llamar al
Padre Orosco en la oficina de la Iglesia al
número 972-563-3643.
_________________________________________________
 En que va a venir el “ladrón”, como dice Cristo…
 En que nos pueda dar en el pecho ese dolorcito
que llaman infarto…
 En que el conductor atrabancado de un autobús
o un automobillista ebrio pueda echársenos
encima…
 En que se nos acabe el tiempo de vivir en la
tierra…
Nota 1: El evangelio de hoy no es para que nos
asustemos, no precisamente para evitarnos, algún día,
un susto mayúsculo.
Nota 2: Cristo no se refiere al día de la muerte, sino al
día en que el Hijo del hombre (o sea él) vendrá a juzgar
a los vivos y a los muertos. Pero para efectos prácticos
da lo mismo, ya que después de la muerte no hay
tiempo para prepararnos.
Nota 3: La mejor forma de prepararnos nos la da
Cristo al decir: “Dichoso este siervo, si el amo, a su llegada, lo encuentra cumpliendo con su deber (de hijo,
de casado, de padre, de empleado, de ciudadano, de
prójimo…)”.
_________________________________________________

RCIA
Rite of Christian
Initiation for Adults
Have you been attending Mass with
us and have some questions about
the Catholic Church, the Eucharist,
Confession, Mary, etc.?
Have you been away from the
Catholic Church…and have now
returned, but want to know more
about its teachings?
Have you been a Catholic
all your life, but for some
reason or another, have not
received the Sacraments of
Confirmation or the Eucharist?
Have you joined us from a different
faith tradition and would like to know
more about the Catholic Church?
If any of these questions apply to you, we would like to help you in your
journey! Or if you know of anyone who could answer “yes” to any of these questions, perhaps you could extend an invitation to them! RCIA is not a
program but a process that one goes through when becoming Catholic or
completing their Sacraments of Initiation.
Please contact Deacon Jim Starr @ 972-563-3643
