NEVER STOP LEARNING
It’s back to school time again! This week, our children return to school for the new school year. It is
usually an exciting time, filled with hope as they start
fresh, to learn new things and grow in knowledge and
wisdom. So I want to begin this message with a
shout out to our children and their teachers and parents for a fruitful and blessed school year! May the
Lord keep your minds and hearts open to the many discoveries
that will happen this year, bearing in mind that God is really
what we seek, deep within our minds and hearts.
I have to say that learning is not only for the kids as school. All
of us have to continue learning and discovering. When we stop
learning is when we start declining. When we become mentally
stagnant or idle, we start to occupy our minds with other unhealthy things that may cause its corruption. That is why I recommend that we become more proactive about keeping our
minds occupied with learning new things, or doing creative
things that will enhance the positive life of our souls. The joy of
discovery keeps our minds fresh, therefore renews our spirits to
its core. That is also true about our faith. We can never stop
learning more about our Catholicism, our tradition that goes
back to Jesus and the apostles. There is so much to learn from
the 2,000 years of Christianity, many stories, many developments in the faith, many struggles in the Church from which we
can learn about being the Church of our time, many precious
legacies of prayer and teachings about various doctrines of the
faith, many lives of saints through the centuries that can inspire
us to follow the Lord. Yes, there is more than enough to learn
to sustain our spiritual hunger for more than a lifetime. Just
over a week ago, I had a very spiritually intense conversation
with a young person who had some questions about why we still
need to go to church, when we already know about God. It just
really dawned on me that what Socrates once said is true, that
the greatest hindrance to true knowledge is our presumption
that we already know. In fact, we never fully know, and there is
so much more to know about God and the Church. it is when
we think that we already know god that we completely missed
the point, because we can never know God enough, for as long
as we walk this earth as we all do.
It is in this light that I want to encourage all of our churches to
unite to a common goal of being part of some faith-learning
program through our parishes. I really want us to build a team
of leaders who can animate the culture of learning and discovery in our parishes. I am looking for them, and I have found a
number of them already. Many of them are already working in
the life of our parishes, and it is just a matter of pulling their
efforts together in order to be more intentional and creative in
inviting people to participate. As far as I am concerned, it is an
expectation that all Catholics are continuing to learn about their
faith. In the coming months, I will be focusing on this part of
the life of our parishes, because I believe that by learning together and discovering what we believe more deeply, we also
become closer together as a family of faith – Saint Martin, Saint
Rose, Saint Teresa – all united together in understanding what
we believe, so that we can practice what we believe together,
and teach what we believe to the next generation of Catholics in
our community.
Hungry for more discoveries,
Fr. Sunny Castillo

NUNCA DÉJEN DE APRENDER
¡És tiempo de regresar a la escuela! Ésta semana,
nuestros niños comenzaron el nuevo año escolar. Usualmente se sienten emocionados, llenos de esperanza y
listos para comenzar, para aprender cosas nuevas y
crecer en conocimiento y sabiduría. Así es que empiezp
éste mensaje deseándo a todos los niños, a sus profesores y a sus padres un año escolar fructífero y santo!
Que el Señor mantenga sus mentes y corazones abiertos a tantos
descubrimientos que están por delánte, teniendo en cuenta que
és Dios a quién buscámos, en la profundidad de nuestras mentes
y corazones.
Tengo que decir que el aprender no es solo para los niños escolares. Todos debémos continuar aprendiendo y descubriendo.
Cuando dejámos de aprender és cuando comenzámos a decaer.
Cuando mentalmente estamos estancados o inactivos, entonces
comenzamos a ocupar nuestras mentes en cosas no saludables
que pueden causar su corrupción. Por éso és bueno ser más proactivos en mantener nuestras mentes más ocupadas en aprender
cosas nuevas, o en hacer cosas creativas que acreciéntan la vida
positiva de nuestras almas. La alegría de descubrir mantiene
nuestras mentes frescas y renueva profundamente nuestro
espíritu. Éso mismo es aplicable a nuestra fe. Nunca podemos
dejar de aprender acerca de nuestro Católicismo, nuestra tradición desde Jesús y sus apóstoles. Hay mucho por aprender de
los 2,000 años de Cristiandad, muchas historias, muchas revelaciones en nuestra fe, muchas luchas en la Iglesia de las cuales
podemos aprender el cómo podemos ser Iglesia hoy día, muchas
herencias de oración y enseñanzas de varias doctrinas de la fe,
muchas vidas de los santos a través de los siglos que nos pueden
inspirar en el seguimento al Señor. Sí, hay mucho por aprender
para sostener nuestra hambre espiritual por toda la vida. Hace
unos días, tube una conversación espiritual, intensa con una persona jóven que tenía muchas preguntas acerca de porqué todavía
necesitamos ir a la iglesia, cuando yá tenemos conocimiento de
Dios. Y luego recordé qué lo que dijo Socrates una vez y és la verdad, que el más grande obstáculo al verdadero conocimiento és
nuestra presunción de que yá lo sabémos. En realidad, nunca
conocemos ampleamente, y hay mucho más por conocer acerca
de Dios y la Iglesia. És cuando pensamos que yá conocemos a
Dios que completamente fracasamos, porque nunca llegarémos a
conocer a Dios suficientemente mientras caminémos por ésta
tierra.
És en vista de ésto, que quiero animar a todas nuestras iglesias a
unirse en una meta común y participar en un programa de fe. De
véras quiero que formémos un equipo de líderes que puedan animar la cultura de conocimiento y descubrimiento en nuestras parroquias. Yo los estoy buscando, y yá he encontrado algunos.
Muchos yá estan comprometidos en la vida de nuestras parroquias, y es simplemente el unir esfuerzos y creatividad para invitar a la gente a participar. Según lo véo yo, és una expectación
que todos los Católicos estan continuándo en aprender acerca de
su fe. En estos meses, estaré enfocándome sobre ésta parte de
la vida de nuestras parroquias, porque créo que aprendiendo y
descubriendo juntos nuestras creéncias más a fondo, nos proporciona la unidad cómo familia de fe – San Martin, Santa Rosa,
Santa Teresa – todos unidos en comprensión, para así practicar lo
que creémos, y enseñar a la próxima generación de Católicos en
nuestra comunidad.
Hambriento por más descubrimientos,
Padre Sunny Castillo

22nd Sunday of Ordinary Time
Aug. 29/30, 2015
Today’s Scripture passages express a common theme: God,
through His commandments, guides us to live good and holy
lives. Moses makes clear how blessed the ancient Israelites
are to be called close to God as His people. In St. Mark’s
Gospel, Jesus explains that following strict rituals may actually lead to disregarding the spirit of the commandments
themselves. St. James expresses two important stewardship
principles: First, all good gifts come from God and second,
good Christians welcome and are doers of His Word. Christian stewards acknowledge God’s abundant gifts and strive
to embrace Christian stewardship as a way of life. We witness this through gratefully giving back to God the first
fruits of our time, talent, and treasure to feeding and clothing those in need, sheltering the homeless, and visiting the
sick, the elderly, and the incarcerated. These Corporal
Works of Mercy put our faith into action for Christ.
Nurse Notes: SPIRITUAL HEALTH August 29/30
#3 Take a time out– Feeling like you’re drained eve
n though it’s just the start of the day is a sure-fire
sign that your spiritual health is in decline. Take a
break at one point in a day, say an hour, to just relax, walk around or sit in a park. This gives you the
chance to refresh and refocus while bringing you
closer to your spiritual inclinations.
