Welcome Deacon Vargas

Hello everyone, my name is Deacon Ausencio Vargas. I am the oldest of ten children in my family. My parents had six boys and four girls. When I was 15 years old, I moved to Los Angeles, California. I grew up there, got married and was ordained a Deacon in St. Mala Parish. My wife Maria and I

have four grown children, two girls and two boys. We also have eight grandchildren. I was ordained on June 10, 2000 in Los Angeles by Cardinal Roger Mahoney. In October of that same year, we moved to Peoria and I was assigned to St. Mary’s Cathedral to help Father James King with the Hispanic Community. I served the Diocese of Peoria for five years as a Los Angeles Deacon. After the five years, I was incarnated into the Diocese of Peoria. I worked for Morton Metal Craft for nine years until they had financial problems and filed for bankruptcy. They laid off about half of their employees and I was one of them. Presently, I work in Pastoral Care at (OSF) St. Francis Medical Center. I am also, Assistant Director for the Hispanic Ministry. I work with Father Thomas Gibson, Father Alex Millar and Monsignor Stanley Deptula.

May God Bless you all,

Deacon Vargas

COMMUN I TY N EWS 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Perhaps you've heard the story of the atheist who while out hiking fell off the side of a cliff, only to grab on to a branch that stopped him from falling to a certain death. He held on for dear life, with nothing between him and the canyon below. He decided at that moment to give prayer a chance, asking God for salvation from his fate. A voice from above told him to let go of the branch; his new faith would save him. The man thought for a moment, and then looking skyward asked, "Is there anyone else up there I can talk to about this?" When we are offered the gift of eternal life, do we ignore it? We listen to the words of Jesus as he admonishes a crowd of grumblers: "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise him on the last day." We are drawn to God; on Sundays we are drawn to Mass. Our parishes draw us in from the parking lot or the street; our pastor draws us to the altar to receive the holy Eucharist. At times, we may feel as if we are holding on for our dear lives, barely able to make it through each day. It is at these times that we quiet ourselves and listen to God. We are drawn into loving arms, and we are safe. Underlying Jesus' message that he is the bread of life is that in order for us to receive eternal life, we must live in love. To live in love means to seek Jesus, and through him God, in contemplative prayer. We seek him, because doing so is the beginning of true love (CCC 2709). In the sharing of the Eucharist at every Mass, we are reaffirming our vow to live a life of love. Today, as you approach the altar, leave behind your anger and bitterness. Let go of that branch, and you will be saved.
