Scriptural Reflections on Stewardship

Through incessant prayer, we open ourselves more fully to understanding God’s will. Through faith in

the power of prayer, we experience God’s love and assis-tance. Our Christian life is nourished by the scriptures we read and by our received tradition.

Every Tuesday, the Blessed Sacrament is ex-

posed in the church from 3 to 4 p.m. It is an hour of prayer for the priests, religious men and women and an in-crease of vocations to the priesthood and the religious life of the Church. We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests. Holy Hour closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

GRUPO DE ORACION Te invita a que nos unamos en oración por cada una de tus necesidades. Seremos una gran fa-milia en nuestros encuentros semanales parroqui-ales. Iglesia Sta Ana, Martes 7:00 de la noche !añanos!.

ADORACION AL SANTISIMO Cada Martes de 3 a 4 de la tarde, en

la Iglesia.. Venid y Adorad!

La Iglesia a dedicado un mes, el mes de Octubre, para honrar a María con el rezo del Santo Rosario. Rezar el Rosario es como llevar diez flores a María en cada misterio. Es una manera de repetirle muchas veces lo mucho que la queremos. El amor y la piedad no se cansan nunca de repetir con frecuencia las mismas palabras, porque siempre contienen algo nuevo. Si lo rezamos todos los días, la Virgen nos llenará de gracias

y nos ayudará a llegar al Cielo. María intercede por nosotros sus hijos y no nos deja de premiar con su ayuda. Al rezarlo, recordamos con la mente y el corazón los misterios de la vida de Jesús y los misterios de la conducta admirable de María. Nos metemos en las escenas evangélicas: Belén, Nazaret, Jerusalén, el huerto de los Olivos, el Calvario, María al pie de la cruz, Cristo resucitado, el Cielo, todo esto pasa por nuestra mente mientras nuestros labios oran. El Rosario es una verdadera fuente de gracias. María es medianera de las gracias de Dios. Dios ha querido que muchas gracias nos lleguen por su conducto, ya que fue por ella que nos llegó la sal-vación.

Para contar como miembro de la parroquia, no solo debes asistir a misa, sino también estar registrado, y utilizar los sobres que se te envian para la colecta. Las planillas estan disponibles en el vestibulo de la Iglesia a la salida de la misa. Si necesitas ayuda, representantes del grupo Nuestra Sra. de Guadalupe estan dispon-ibles para ayudarte. Bienvenido a tu parroquia de Santa Ana!!

MISA DE SANACION El sábado 23 de Octubre, 2010 en el Centen-nial Hall a las 2:00 de la tarde. Una ocasion especial para entregar tus problemas fisicos y mentales al Señor. La misa sera en ingles, pero para el Señor no hay idiomas. Ven acompañanos...te esperamos!!

Coro Estamos reorganizando nuestro coro, Si te gusta cantar, o sabes tocar algun instrumento, nuestro coro te necisita. Por favor acercate a la Sra. Rosa para más información. Recuerda, cantar es orar dos veces.

Evangelization Corner…… Reflecting On The Gospel - Jesus tells his Apostles a parable about how important it is to pray: A woman goes to a judge to ask for a fair decision in a matter. The judge, however, respects no one and has no fear of God; he will not grant the woman her request. Again and again, the woman goes to the judge - we might say she ‘pressures’ him. Finally, the judge says she can have the things the way she wants them.

Sharing Ideas - What are things we do to make strong and keep strong the special friendships in our lives?

Can he do some of these same things to keep our relationships with God strong?
