Dear Parishioners, Today’s Gospel, and particularly the parable of the prodigal son, reminds us of the merciful love that God the Father has for all of us, his children. Jesus depicts so poignantly the love found in the character of the father who runs out to greet his wayward son before he is even home – and who celebrates his son’s safe return with the feast of a fatted calf. We might wonder how a father can be so quickly and completely forgiving of a son who prematurely took a share of the father’s

wealth (to which he was not even entitled, because he was not the older son and heir), abandoned the family, and wasted the hard-earned money on immoral and reckless acts. But Jesus reminds us, as he did the Pharisees and scribes at the beginning of the Gospel, that God the Father himself is merciful, for Jesus was sent to encourage sinners to turn away from their sins and toward God. These readings challenge us on many levels. If we are like the young-er, prodigal son, it might be hard to imagine that God could forgive us for the wrongs we might have done, for the times that we turned away from God. But in the second reading, Paul reminds Timothy that God not only forgave him for his persecution of the Church, he called Paul to great glory as an Apostle. Paul describes himself as the foremost of sinners, who was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all his patience as an example for those who would come to believe in him for everlasting life. Through his mercy for this most zeal-ous persecutor of the early Christians, Jesus gave Paul the grace to be-come one of his greatest advocates and one of the shining stars of the Church. If any of us feel that we have committed some wrong that can’t be forgiven – or have strayed so long that we can’t be welcomed back – we can take courage and comfort from these readings. But, just as the readings encourage us to accept the mercy of God, they also challenge us to extend God’s mercy to others. For we also know that the measure we give to others is what we shall receive. We are forgiv-en, as we forgive. And we have this good news to share with anyone who needs to hear it: come home! So, let us then accept God’s mercy, extend it to others and rejoice, as the Father commands us, when those who are lost return home.

Queridos feligreses, El Evangelio de hoy, y particularmen-te la parábola del hijo pródigo, nos recuerda el amor misericordioso que Dios Padre tiene por todos nosotros, sus hijos. Jesús descri-be tan conmovedoramente el amor del personaje del padre que sale co-rriendo a saludar a su hijo descarria-do aun antes de que este llegue a

casa, y que celebra el regreso de su hijo a salvo con una fiesta con un becerro gordo Podríamos preguntarnos cómo un padre puede tan rápida y completamente perdonar a un hijo que pre-maturamente tomó una parte de la riqueza del padre (a la que ni siquiera tenía derecho, porque no era el hijo mayor y el heredero), abandonó a la familia, y despilfarró el dine-ro ganado con tanto esfuerzo en actos inmorales e impru-dentes. Pero Jesús nos recuerda, como lo hizo con los fariseos y los escribas al comienzo del Evangelio, que Dios Padre es misericordioso, y que Jesús fue enviado para alentar a los pecadores a alejarse de sus pecados y acercarse a Dios. Estas lecturas nos desafían en muchos niveles. Si somos como el hijo más joven, el hijo pródigo, podría ser difícil imaginar que Dios pudriera perdonarnos por los errores que pudimos haber cometido, por las veces que nos alejamos de Él. Pero en la segunda lectura, Pablo le recuerda a Timoteo que Dios no solo lo perdonó por su persecución a la Iglesia, sino que lo llamó a una gran gloria como Apóstol. Pablo se describe a sí mismo como el más grande de los pecadores, pero Dios tuvo miseri-cordia de mí y me perdonó, para que fuera yo el pri-mero en quien él manifestara toda su generosidad y sirviera yo de ejemplo a los que habrían de creer en él, para obtener la vida eterna. A través de su miseri-cordia por este encarnizado perseguidor de los primeros cristianos, Jesús dió a Pablo la gracia de convertirse en uno de sus más grandes defensores y una de las es-trellas brillantes de la Iglesia. Si alguno de nosotros siente que hemos cometido un error que no puede ser perdonado, o nos hemos estado alejados tanto tiempo que no podemos ser recibidos de nuevo, podemos tomar valor y consuelo de estas lecturas Pero, así como las lecturas nos animan a aceptar la mi-sericordia de Dios, también nos desafían a extender la misericordia de Dios a los demás. Porque también sabemos que en la medida que damos a los demás es lo que recibiremos. Somos perdonados, como perdonamos. Y tenemos estas buenas noticias para compartir con cualquiera que necesite escucharlas: ¡ven a casa! Así que, aceptemos la misericordia de Dios, extendámosla a otros y regocijémonos, como el Padre nos manda, cuan-do los que están perdidos regresan a casa.

Padre Tadeo

SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

THE PILGRIM CRUCIFIX OF VOCATIONS At Bishop Cantú’s 25th Anniversary Mass in May, principals and pastors were gifted with a crucifix which the Bishop hoped would be passed around the community as a remind-er to pray for vocations. Each week, our school community gathers during Morning Assembly to pray the Vocations Prayer together. As we pray, a representative from the class who hosted the crucifix the previous week processes the crucifix around the gathered assembly and hands it off to the next class who will host the crucifix. In each host classroom, teachers facilitate conversations surrounding the Culture of Vocations: vocations to religious life, priesthood, married life and the single life. Our school has committed to journey alongside those who are discerning their vocations and we are seeking to understand how we are being called to live out our baptismal promise. FALL SPORTS BEGINS AT ST. CLARE We are grateful to our parish community for sharing the use of St. Clare Hall where some of our sports teams practice and host league games.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Although New Year’s Day has been fixed firmly on Jan-uary 1 for several hundred years, Labor Day has the feel of a great dividing line between leisure and routine. The pace of life has since picked up, and new schedules and commit-ments crowd us. In the background is God’s call to consider the third commandment, still life giving and binding, to make holy the Lord’s Day by worship and rest. Jews see the Sabbath, Saturday, not so much as a day of worship, but as a day of rest, a day of renewing friendship with God by de-lighting in the beauty of creation and the joy of family and friends. It is a day for contemplating the wonder of God’s creation, but not disturbing it. For Christians in the first three centuries, the Lord’s Day, Sunday, was not for rest, but worship. It was a regular work day. People met before dawn, and after Eucharist hur-ried off to daily routines. Today we come to Mass, but many hurry off to essential work, not a day of rest. The Lord’s Day is not the Sabbath, but we can enhance Sunday’s ability to transform us if we consider embracing some Sabbath val-ues: having a family meal, going for a walk in a beautiful place, making room in our lives to open ourselves more fully to holiness of life in Christ.—James Field, Copyright © J.

Catechetical Sunday

This weekend, the Church in the United States celebrates Catechetical Sunday. The theme is "Stay with Us." On this Sunday, we recognize those who have been called to serve as catechists. Catechetical Sunday is also a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each one of us plays, by virtue of our Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. May God bless all who serve as catechists in our school and our Faith Formation ministries for children and adults. Thank you very much for sharing time and talent in pass-ing on the Catholic faith to others!

Prayer for Catechists - USCCB O God, our Heavenly Father, you have

given us the gift of these catechists to be heralds of the Gospel to our parish family.

We lift them up to you in thanksgiving and intercede for them concerning their

hopes and needs. May we be attentive to the presence

of your Word in them, a Word that lifts up and affirms, calls forth and challenges, is

compassionate and consoles. We pray that our parish family will always

be blessed with those who have responded to the call to share in Christ’s prophetic mission

as catechists. May we too be open to the universal call to service that Christ addresses to all of his disciples, contributing our gifts to

the communion of faith, the Church. We ask this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

Domingo Catequético Hoy es el Domingo Catequético y la Iglesia en los Estados Unidos, lo celebrará con el lema "Quédate con Nosotros." Hoy, todos estamos

invitados a reflexionar sobre el papel que desempeña-mos cada bautizado en transmitir nuestra fe. Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe El santo Peruano Fray Juan Macias fue dominico. Este santo es reconocido como el amparo de los pobres, patrón de los emigrantes y ladrón del purgatorio. El concepto del purgatorio es un poco difícil de entender. La Iglesia adoptó la creencia en la última purificación de los elegidos (nombrado el Purgatorio) en los siglos XV y XVI en los concilios de Florencia y Trento. Ella se basa en las Escrituras que se refieren en la purificación en el fuego (1 Corintios 3:15; 1 Pedro 1:7) y en la práctica de la oración por los difuntos como aparece en 2 Macabeos 12:46 y Job 1:5. San Juan Crisóstomo dijo: “Si los hijos de Job fueron purificados por el sacrificio de su padre, ¿por qué vamos a dudar que nuestras oraciones por los difuntos puedan hacerle llegar alguna consolación a los que han muerto? Ofrezcamos pues, nuestras oraciones por los difuntos. Los que están en purgación necesitan nuestro apoyo en la oración. Pidamos por ellos”. — Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch

15 de Setembro de 2019; Domingo XXIV do Tempo Comum- C

Festa de Santa Cecília: Padroeira de todos os músicos Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda

“ A oração é o poder do homem e a fraqueza de Deus”. Assim dizia Santo Agostinho e é nesta filosofia que justifica a oração de Moisés a interceder pelo seu povo que estava a ofender Deus adorando idolos de ouro. S. Paulo refere-se como um grande pecador que pelos méritos do seu arrependimento Deus favoreceu-lhe a misericórdia do perdão para uma vida nova e salvação. Sempre que oramos e não somos atendidos aos nossos pedidos sentimo-nos abandonados por Deus. Tal como o povo de Deus recorreu aos ídolos assim fazemos também nos nossos dias. Tudo que não nos vai ao geito que queremos culpamos as coisas, os outros e tudo mais menos a nós próprios. S. Lucas no Evanjelho de hoje apresenta-nos um Deus que investe todo o seu amor de Pai em nós seus filhos. Nesse Seu “investimento” Deus quer a nossa felicidade e por assim ser não atende nem dá o que pedimos e que vá contra os princípios da verdadeira felicidade. Esta felicidade nada tem a ver com as ofertas que este mundo oferece de “felecidades” fugazes e pouco duradoiras. A verdadeira felicidade é aquela que nos transportará ao Reino de Deus! Na nossa Comunidade celebramos neste Domingo e na missa em português; Santa Cecília, padroeira de todos os músicos. A Sociedade Filarmónica União Portuguesa de Santa Clara aprumam-se para celebrar a sua padroeira. Sob os auspícios desta Santa essas duas agremiações que muito bem representam e servem a nossa comunidade nas actividades culturais, sociais e religiosas agradecem os seus talentos a Deus na inspiração desta Santa. Por assim ser e em comunidade celebramos uma das santa mártires da igreja que deu a sua vida na defesa dos valores que a nossa igreja nos pede em viver-mos. Lembremo-nos que Santa Cecília deu a sua vida na preservação dos valores morais cristãos do que pactuar com as demandas do mundo. Assim também devemos em todos os tempos demonstrar no nosso viver os valores cristãos a que professamos viver pelos sacramentos.

Notícias Piquenique Comunitário: O CPP leva a efeito o piquenique anual da nossa comunidade. Este terá lugar no parque da escola paroquial no local dos churrascos no Domingo dia 29 de Setembro próximo. Esta promoção anual é uma forma de angariamento de fundos no qual os mesmos servem para as actividades porqtuguesas nesta paróquia e para a ajuda das despesas da paróquia. Ao mesmo tempo serve para reunir a nossa comunidade num convívio familiar e saudável. Para que este evento seja bem sucedido a participação de toda a nossa comunidade é necessária e as ajudas podem ser feitas em ofertas para o bazar, rifa, leilão e monetárias para a ajuda dos custos desta promoção. A ementa será a mesma dos anos anteriores e os bilhetes podem ser obtidos através de qualquer membro do CPP aos preços de $20.00 para adultos e de $8.00 para crianças com menos dos 6-12 anos de idade. Venham todos etragam consigo familiares e amigos! Festa de Santa Cecília:A Sociedade Filarmónica União Portuguesa de Santa Clara está neste fim de semana a celebrar a sua padoeira Santa Cecília; pelo qual, o nosso Grupo Coral se associa a esta celebração pois que Santa Cecília é também padroeira deste grupo. O CPP congratula essas duas agremiações musicais nesta celebração que honra Santa Cecília padroeira de todos os músicos. Ainda mais em nome da comunidade agradece o desempenho e serviço com que estes dois grupos representam na nossa comunidade culturalmente e religiosamente. Parabens, obrigado e que Deus e Santa Cecília continue a abençoar todos os nossos músicos!

Um Santo e Alegre Domingo para todos! Feliz festa de Santa Cecília!

STAND AND BE COUNTED

Registering in a parish is a declaration of your desire to be part of a Catholic community and a commitment in all its dimensions brings you advantages,

recognition, and responsibilities of many kinds. Being a registered parishioner makes things much easier when it is time for infant Baptism, weddings, when

asked to be a Baptismal or Confirmation Sponsor and even funerals. We are often asked to provide affidavits for Baptismal and Confirmation Spon-

sors. We can only do this if a person is a registered, active and contribution member.

So, are you a registered parishioner? If not please consider registering. Registration forms are available in the Parish

Office and in the Church vestibule.
