He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly … and be killed and rise after three days. (Gospel) ************************************************* St. John’s Senior Citizens

The St. John's Senior Citizens will meet Tuesday, September 18th at 10:30am in the Parish Hall. Our guest speaker for this month will be Vicki from Lone Star CASA. She will tell us about what this organization does to help victims of child abuse. It will be a very interesting but somber meeting and hopefully she will let us know what we can do if we suspect a child is being abused and how to deal with it. Lunch will be covered dish followed by Bingo. Please bring a friend or a neighbor. Our little group continues to grow with the help of all of you doing your part. *************************************************

On behalf of Marisol and her family, Kathy and Nicolas, we would like to “thank” each and everone for all your prayers. God heard your prayers for our angel Marisol. She is doing great and feeling so much better! Thank you everyone…. Ledesma Family

What an awesome start to the year! As we continue our dive into the Ten Commandments, remember to be mindful of situations where you have either heeded or (hopefully not) broken a Commandment. We will be discussing them in class. Also remember to wear your wrist band. We are tracking Who is and who is not. Those who do will have their name in a drawing before Christmas break. 1 Timothy 4:12 _________________________________________________

Twenty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time

On the Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time we hear in Mark's Gospel as Jesus tell his disciples about his passion, death and resurrection to come in Jerusalem. Peter tries to prevent him from going there. Jesus rebukes him and tells the disciples and us that to be a disciple is to follow him, not trying to save one's life, but by dying to ourselves and losing ourselves for his sake and that of the Gospel. That is the only path to real life. Thursday is the Memorial of Saint Andrew Kim Taegŏn, priest and martyr and Saint Paul Chŏng Hasang, martyr, and their companions, martyrs. Friday is the Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and evangelist, with its own special readings. In our first reading, Paul's wonderful First Letter to the Corinthians continues to feed us with powerful messages about good community behavior, the Eucharist and the mystery of the Resurrection. We experience more of the beauty of Luke's Gospel this week. Jesus heals the slave of a Roman officer, praising the officer's faith. He encounters a widow whose only son had died. “He was moved with pity” and raises the son from the dead. Jesus tells the people how inconsistent their responses are. At a dinner, Jesus encounters a weeping, sinful woman who washes his feet with her tears. “So, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love.” We hear that Jesus is accompanied by a group of women “who provided for them out of their resources.” Jesus tells the parable of the sower and breaks it open for a large crowd of listeners. _________________________________________________

CARGAR CON NUESTRA CRUZ

Consiste en asumir nuestra misión como cristianos, a pesar de las dificultades que conlleva, confiando en que tendremos la ayuda divina. Cristo es quien ha cargado la cruz más pesada.
