September 17, 2017

Forgive your neighbor's injustice;

then when you pray,

your own sins will be forgiven. -- Sirach 28:2

Catechetical Sunday: September 17, 2017

Living as Missionary Disciples / Viviendo como discípulos misioneros

On this day, catechists are formally commissioned for ministry to the community. Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each baptized person plays in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

Tener fe no significa no tener dificultades, sino tener la fuerza para afrontarlas, sabiendo que no estamos solos. Papa Francisco

Ushers Needed Please call the parish office to volunteer!

Deepening Our Faith “Whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s,” says Saint Paul. As we gather today at God’s invitation, let us be mindful that we belong to the Lord, and pray for ways that we can be a reconciling presence in the world. The word from today’s scriptures is “reconciliation.” Sirach tells us that wrath and anger are hateful things. Jesus says we must forgive seventy-seven times. As we listen to these inspired messages from our loving God, let us reflect on grudges we have held and re-sentments that we carry still, and let these readings be the spark that lights our way to reconciliation with all our sisters and brothers.

Question of the Week Who needs my forgiveness? How might I start

a “ripple of forgiveness” that could expand to a global tidal wave of unending forgiveness?

Crecimiento en la Fé Ya sea que estemos vivos o que hayamos muertos, somos del Señor”, dice san Pablo. Reunidos hoy a invitación de Dios, tengamos presente que pertenecemos al Señor y oremos para encontrar las maneras de ofrecer al mundo nuestra presencia reconciliadora. La palabra predominante en las Sagradas Escrituras hoy es “reconciliación”. Sirácide nos dice que el rencor y la cólera son cosas abominables. Jesús dice que debemos perdonar setenta veces siete. Cuando escuchemos estos mensajes inspirados que nos da nuestro Dios bondadoso, reflexionemos acerca de los rencores y resentimientos que aún tenemos y dejemos que estas lecturas sean como chispas de luz que vayan guiando nuestro camino hacia la reconciliación con todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas.

Pregunta de la Semana ¿Quiénes necesitan mi perdón? ¿Cómo

pudiera comenzar una “ola de perdón” que se levante y llegue a convertirse en un maremoto global de

Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone. Pope Francis
