Letter From The Pastor
Dear Parishioners:
This week, July 24 – 30, we celebrate Natural Family Planning Week. Our Catholic
faith teaches us that the Death and Resurrection of Jesus the Christ transformed all of
creation. In part, the Paschal events returned you and me to the original unity and
freedom possessed by our first parents, Adam and Eve. This restoration and renewal is
not only our souls, but also our very bodies. Human sexuality is good, beautiful, fruitful,
divinely directed to unity and fruitfulness.
One of the problems with this teaching is that so many do not understand the truths that accompany the
teaching. So many people think the Church is more about the, “Do not do this or that!” rather than saying,
“Yes,” to everything. Well, that’s not really the case.
The Church does indeed say, “No,” sometimes. We MUST remember, however, that behind EVERY, “no,”
is a profound, “Yes!” The command, “Thou shalt not kill,” is written because every life is valuable and may not
be taken without a justifiable reason. Human life is made in the image and likeness of God and must be
respected. To affirm murder ultimately reduces a human life to another’s whim or permission.
When our Church teaches us about sexual morality she begins from the premise that …
we can deduce
that man became the image and likeness of God not only through his humanity, but also through the
communion of persons which man and woman form right from the beginning, … man becomes the image of
God not so much in the moment of solitude as in the moment of communion (St. John Paul II, TOB Nov.
14,1979). The coming together of husband and wife in the intimate sexual union of self-donation in a covenant
of free, faithful, fertile love is so beautiful and good that outside of that covenantal love is a sin.
Once we separate the unitive and procreative aspects of the marriage, we break the image of God in this
elementary expression of the union of persons reflecting the Holy Trinity in our midst. This is one of the
reasons we celebrate Natural Family Planning Week this week. NFP is a natural way of managing couples’
fertility that is 99.5% effective with perfect use and a typical use rate of 96.5% effective. That compares to
birth control pill rates of 99.5% with perfect use and 90-96% with typical use. Another blessing that comes
with Natural Family Planning is a more successful rate of achieving pregnancy for those couples who struggle
with infertility. Hilgers, M.D.; (The Naprotechnology Revolution p.12).
This is accomplished within a deeply respectful approach to human sexuality, marital dignity, knowledge of
the teaching of the Church and Scripture and the recognition that every human being is made in the image
and likeness of God from the moment of conception for all eternity. The divorce rate for couples using NFP is
about 4% to 6% while the national average is a bit above 40%. One of reasons behind this is that NFP
requires a shared vision and approach in the husband – wife relationship. It goes far beyond the sexual side of
the issues. NFP builds a greater understanding of another and requires a commonality of language and
appreciation.
Here at SVdP we require engaged couples to attend classes in this holy approach to fertility management
in their relationship. It builds trust levels by opening more doors of understanding and behaviors. The United
States Catholic Council of Bishops has much more complete details about Natural Family Planning at its web
site, http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/marriage-and-family/natural-family-planning/index.cfm. Check
out the latest research and information about NFP.
People my age may remember the promise of just how wonderful would be the rewards of contraception
for women, marriage, children. They still have not arrived. So much of what chemicals promised has
disappointed. NFP demonstrates that what is desired has been found and the blessings are many.
This week find out more about Natural Family Planning and how its blessings can be yours. God knew
exactly what he was doing when he designed this universe and those of us who live in it.
Pax et bonum,
Msgr. Bill

Paul, know that you are showing the poor and suffering
that God loves them and that He is indeed their “Father.”

$134.80 for food, $52.20 for transportation, and $600 for
international twinning- support of a Society of St. Vincent de Paul conference in India. Thank You!
Requests for assistance continue to be very high and we
are grateful for the support of the parish and individual
donors. Donations made directly to the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul are appreciated. Call 713-664-5350 for

Today’s Readings
First Reading — Abraham bargains with God to
spare the city (Genesis 18:20-32).
Psalm — Lord, on the day I called for help,
you answered me (Psalm 138).
Second Reading — Buried with Christ in baptism, we
were also raised with him; all our transgressions are forgiven (Colossians 2:12-14).
Gospel — Jesus speaks of God’s sure response to those
who pray (Luke 11:1-13).
KEEP PRAYING
St. Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August, is often
known as “the persistent mother.” She watched her oldest
son, Augustine, turn his back on his Christian faith.
Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up talking
directly to her son on the advice of a local bishop, who
told her that it was better to talk to God about Augustine
then to Augustine about God. The mother never gave up
praying for her son. Eventually Augustine gave up his
wild ways, was baptized, and later ordained and named
bishop of Hippo. St. Augustine went on to become one of
the Church’s greatest scholars. Today’s readings address
the importance of persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite of
trepidation that he is bothering the Lord, continues to ask
about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus, in Luke’s
Gospel, tells his disciples to “ask and you will receive;
seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you” (Luke 11:9). This is our charge: keep
praying. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SVdP Book Club
The SVdP Book Club will meet Wed.,
Aug. 10, in MJFC 206, 10:30am
—Noon. The August selection
is The Collaborator of Bethlehem by Matt Beynon Rees. Here's a
brief description about it: The murder of a leader of the
Palestinian Martyrs Brigade leads to the arrest of George
Saba, a Palestinian Christian accused of collaborating
with the Israelis. Omar Yussef, a modest history teacher
at a United Nations school in the West Bank, is impelled
to investigate the murder to exonerate his former pupil,
who he knows is innocent. As he struggles to save
George, Omar Yussef is drawn into a complex plot where
it is impossible to tell friend from enemy. Availability:

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Sometimes when bishops are consecrated, they are not given the care of a diocese as an “ordinary.” A very old tradition, however, assures that they are invested with a “see,” a
link with a local church. Many hundreds of places around
the world were dioceses at one time, but are no longer. In
England, for example, some of the historic dioceses such as
London, Salisbury, and Manchester ceased to be Catholic at
the Reformation and their cathedrals passed to the Church
of England. The reestablishment of the Catholic Church in
the nineteenth century meant that new dioceses had to be
created, such as at Liverpool and Westminster. Similarly, in
Scandinavia the ancient Catholic dioceses vanished under
Lutheranism. In North Africa, tiny dioceses disappeared
under the sands or were swept away by Islam. In the United
States, some original dioceses never really developed as
population centers, such as the old dioceses of Bardstown,
Vincennes, Sault Ste. Marie, or Walla Walla. The tradition
of “titular sees” assures that the ancient churches are always
held in prayer, as the bishop celebrates Mass in its memory
a few times a year. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Decimoséptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
24 de julio de 2016
REGATEO CON DIOS
En nuestra primera lectura de hoy, tomada del libro del Génesis, escuchamos una de las escenas de regateo
más largas de toda la Biblia, entre Dios y un ser humano. Fue esa clase de osadía –la de atreverse a regatear
con el Todopoderoso– lo que le ganó a Abraham la reputación de ser un hombre de una fidelidad sin miedo,
un hombre que cumplió fielmente su parte de la alianza y que, con fe y confianza ilimitadas, le exigió al
Señor que también cumpliera la suya. Se dan ejemplos en otras religiones de la antigüedad de seres mortales
que se atrevían a regatear con sus dioses. Pero el que un mero hombre se pusiera a rebajar poco a poco las
exigencias de su Dios y a frenar la mano airada del Señor por causa de unos pocos inocentes –eso era algo
nuevo e insólito. Con Abraham comenzó una
trayectoria que había de culminar en Cristo crucificado,
cuya fe en el poder de Dios (véase Colosenses 2:12) lo
llevaría a no pensar en cuántos inocentes habría o no
habría, sino a ofrecerse en sacrificio para que a todos
los culpables se les perdonaran sus crímenes y pudieran
entrar en la vida eterna.
UN TRATO ESCALOFRIANTE
Cuando Jesús enseñó a sus discípulos a rezar, les dio
una frase que nos debe asustar bastante: “Perdónanos
nuestros pecados, porque también nosotros perdonamos
a todo el que nos ofende” (Lucas 11:4). No es difícil
© J.S. Paluch
imaginar a Jesús mirando a su alrededor con una
mirada penetrante a cada uno de ellos mientras dice esas palabras, tal vez arqueando las cejas y recalcando la
frase “a todo el que nos ofende”. Esto es un trato escalofriante, pues estamos invitando a Dios (o tal vez
retándolo …) a que nos perdone de la misma manera y en el mismo grado que nosotros perdonamos a los
demás. Tal vez contamos conque el Señor cumplirá su parte del trato y nos perdonará, aun si nosotros no
cumplimos la parte nuestra. Parece, por lo tanto, que no creemos del todo que Dios puede reservarse el
derecho de aceptar nuestra invitación y dejarnos sufrir las consecuencias. Un buen barómetro para medir
nuestra sinceridad al hacer esta invitación a Dios, podría ser el ver si estas palabras producen escalofríos en
nosotros al pronunciarlas. ¿Podemos contar con que Dios siempre es misericordioso y perdona? ¡Sí!
¿Podemos asimismo contar conque Dios cumple todos sus tratos? Pues, ¡también, sí!
Lecturas de hoy: Génesis 18:20–32; Salmo 138:1–3, 6–8; Colosenses 2:12–14; Lucas 11:1–13

une al poder divino que rige el universo. Entre las culturas
andinas se encuentran mitos religiosos que muestran la
importancia de este enlazamiento. Según la mitología Inca
el universo esta compuesto por tres mundos: el cielo (Janan
pacha), la tierra (Cay pacha) y el bajo tierra (Ucu pacha).
Estos tres mundos están unidos por dos grandes serpientes,
Yacú-mama (ríos) y Sacha-mama (árboles), símbolos de la
fecundidad. Muchos piensan que los mitos son leyendas
cuya función es el entretenimiento. En realidad los mitos
no son fábulas, son historias que explican la verdad profunda del universo. Nos muestran como unirnos y enlazarnos
para vivir una vida fecunda. En esta época de
secularización, los cristianos no podemos olvidar ni la
religión ni la mitología si queremos dar fruto como Jesús
nos lo pide. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
