Preview of Next Sunday’s Readings
Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 4, 2016
First reading: Wisdom 9:13-18b
Second reading: Philemon 9-10, 12-17
Gospel: Luke 14:25-33
A reading from the book of Wisdom
Who can know God's counsel, or who can conceive what the
LORD intends? For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and
unsure are our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul
and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many
concerns. And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what
is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are
in heaven, who can search them out? Or who ever knew your
counsel, except you had given wisdom and sent your holy spirit
from on high? And thus were the paths of those on earth made
straight.
A reading from the first letter of the Philemon
I, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus,
urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus, whose father I have
become in my imprisonment; I am sending him, that is, my own
heart, back to you. I should have liked to retain him for myself,
so that he might serve me on your behalf in my imprisonment
for the gospel, but I did not want to do anything without your
consent, so that the good you do might not be forced but
voluntary. Perhaps this is why he was away from you for a
while, that you might have him back forever, no longer as a
slave but more than a slave, a brother, beloved especially to me,
but even more so to you, as a man and in the Lord. So if you
regard me as a partner, welcome him as you would me.
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and
addressed them, "If anyone comes to me without hating his
father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters,
and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does
not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my
disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not
first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for
its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and
finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should
laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have
the resources to finish.’ Or what king marching into battle
would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand
troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon
him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still
far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In
the same way, anyone of you who does not renounce all his
possessions cannot be my disciple."

Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 28, 2016
Sunday’s Gospel, Luke 14:1, 7-14
Reflecting in God’s Word
Most often the role of a parent is cast in humility. When we think
back on our own childhood, even if we have taken the time to tell our
parents how much we appreciate all they did for us, children rarely
take in the whole scope of what their parents do for them. Yes, in
some cases we might even say what parents sacrifice for them, but it's
hard to call something a sacrifice when it's given out of love. Still,
parents know what it means to provide for someone who cannot
repay us. We don't expect our children to repay us financially for
what we've given them in food, clothing, shelter, education, and
entertainment. Not only is it not realistic, but it's just not the way it
works! We understand the meaning of this Gospel in connection with
our children, but how much greater our understanding will be if we
reach beyond our own family to provide for someone in our society
who cannot begin to repay us.
Bringing the Gospel Into Your Family
Using your parish bulletin, locate newspaper, or knowledge you have
of your community, find someone or a group of people who cannot
repay a kindness from you. Decide as a family what you will do to
serve this person or group. Perhaps you can help serve a meal at a
soup kitchen or hunger center. Maybe you can provide clothing or
transportation to a family struggling at this time. You might look for
non-profit organizations that rely on volunteers in order to prove
services to the community. When you have finished your service
experience, read this passage again and share together how you lived
the Gospel message this week.

DID YOU KNOW?
Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is
healthy
Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is not sex
education. There are many safety issues we teach children: bike
safety, water safety, fire prevention, driver's training, etc.
Personal safety programs should have age appropriate lessons
that give children the skills they need to protect themselves
without frightening them. Keeping children unaware of the
dangers around them does not keep them safe. Predators count
on children not knowing what to do. For more information,
please visit: http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/child-andyouth-protection/faqs.cfm.
Help for MarriagesRetrouvaille is a Catholic, non –profit
program for stressed or seemingly broken marriages. Couples
of any faith, even couples who are separated or divorced, are
welcome. For questions or registration, make a confidential
call to 1-909-900-5465 or visit www.HelpOurMarrige.com
This Sunday, The Cofradia Guadalupanas will sponsor the Donut
Sale. Next Sunday The Parents of Boy Scout Troop 375
will conduct the Donut Sale. Thank you to all organizations
who give so much of their time to support the Donut Sales.
Please be sure to stop by and support them!
DOMINGO 28 DE AGOSTO DEL 2016
Este Domingo 28 de Agosto después de cada misa matutina la
Cofradía Guadalupana será anfitriona de la venta de Donas,
ofrecerán burritos y aguas frescas.
¿SABIA USTED?
Es saludable enseñar a los niños sobre la seguridad personal
y los límites del contacto físico con otros
Enseñar a los niños sobre los límites y cuando un contacto
físico con otros es seguro no es educación sexual. Hay muchos
temas de seguridad que enseñamos a los niños: seguridad en las
bicicletas, seguridad en el agua, prevención de incendios,
entrenamiento para conducir, etc. Los programas de seguridad
personal deben contar con lecciones apropiadas para la edad,
que les brinde a los niños la información que ellos necesitan
para protegerse sin asustarlos. Mantener a los niños sin el
conocimiento de los peligros a su alrededor no los mantiene
seguros. Los predadores cuentan con que los niños no saben lo
que hacen. Para más información, por favor visite: http://
