The Gospel of this Sunday calls us to do two things, first: not to be afraid, “Do not be afraid, little flock…” and the second: to be prepared for the coming of the Lord., “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding…” it is easy for us to be afraid of things, most especially when thinking about eternity, however, this must not be with us, since living in the fullness of gospel, we have to rely not in our works but in God’s mercy. Therefore being courageous in the faith in our good works will lead us to be pre-pare for the coming of Christ. We must put our trust in Him at all times and know that he will serve us because we have been faithful to him. While teaching about belief in the second coming of Christ and the Last Judgment, Pope Francis also spoke about what it means to live in “the intermediary time,” the time between the death and resurrection of Christ and his coming again. It is a “time of vigilance when we must keep the lamp of faith, hope and charity burning, a time when we must keep our hearts open to goodness, beauty and truth. It’s a time to live according to God, because we do not know the day or the hour of Christ’s return,” he taught. Christians continually must look for signs of God’s presence, Pope Francis said, before adding: “Do not fall asleep. The life of a sleeping Christian is a sad life.” Let us ponder these thoughts during this coming week. Mission in Guyana: prayer is much needed as I will be preaching an outreach mission in Guyana, South America. The team is comprise by four college seminarians, four sisters and three lay missionaries. The parish where I will be preaching is named Santa Rosa, Amerindian community in the interior of the northwest district. The place is very poor and the only mean of transportation is by boat and canoes. I commend myself your prayers. Blessings Fr. Mariano Minor Seminarians: The seminarians are back in the parish just for a day. On Sunday August 13th they will be leaving for the annual camping trip in upstate New York. I will join them in NY when I get back from Guyana. We will all get back on Sat. August 27th to start the school year on Monday August 29th. This year the number of semi-narians will be 25 young boys. Please pray for us all. Cross Catholic Outreach: As you know, next weekend a priest from Cross International will be preaching here in our parish and appealing for the poorest of the poor. In my years as priest in Guyana, it was Cross International that helped me to start feeding program centers in different location within my parish; they also built a dormitory for the high school boys who lived in the interior so that they may come to continue with the education in the town. I know this institution is very generous, and I ask you to be generous with them also.

Fr. Mariano Varela, IVE

PHÚC ÂM: Lc 12, 32-48 "Các con hãy sẵn sàng". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Luca. Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán cùng các môn đệ rằng: "Hỡi đoàn bé nhỏ, các con đừng sợ, vì Cha các con đã vui lòng ban nước trời cho các con. Các con hãy bán những của các con có mà bố thí. Hãy sắm cho các con những túi không hư nát, và kho tàng không hao mòn trên trời, là nơi trộm cướp không lai vãng và mối mọt không làm hư nát. Vì kho tàng các con ở đâu, thì lòng các con cũng ở đó. "Các con hãy thắt lưng, hãy cầm đèn cháy sáng trong tay, và hãy làm như người đợi chủ đi ăn cưới về, để khi chủ về gõ cửa, thì mở ngay cho chủ. Phúc cho những đầy tớ nào khi chủ về còn thấy tỉnh thức: Thầy bảo thật các con, chủ sẽ thắt lưng, đặt chúng vào bàn ăn, và đi lại hầu hạ chúng. Nếu canh hai hoặc canh ba, chủ trở về mà gặp thấy như vậy, thì phúc cho các đầy tớ ấy. Các con hãy hiểu biết điều này là nếu chủ nhà biết giờ nào kẻ trộm đến, ắt sẽ tỉnh thức, không để nó đào ngạch nhà mình. Cho nên các con hãy sẵn sàng: vì giờ nào các con không ngờ, thì Con Người sẽ đến". Phêrô thưa Người rằng: "Lạy Thầy, Thầy nói dụ ngôn đó chỉ về chúng con hay về mọi người?" Chúa phán: "Vậy con nghĩ ai là người quản lý trung tín khôn ngoan mà chủ đã đặt coi sóc gia nhân mình, để đến giờ phân phát phần lúa thóc cho họ? Phúc cho đầy tớ đó, khi chủ về, thấy nó đang làm như vậy. Thầy bảo thật các con, chủ sẽ đặt người đó trông coi tất cả gia sản mình. Nhưng nếu đầy tớ ấy nghĩ trong lòng rằng: "Chủ tôi về muộn", nên đánh đập tớ trai tớ gái, ăn uống say sưa: chủ người đầy tớ ấy sẽ về vào ngày nó không ngờ, vào giờ nó không biết, chủ sẽ loại trừ nó, và bắt nó chung số phận với những kẻ bất trung. Nhưng đầy tớ nào đã biết ý chủ mình mà không chuẩn bị sẵn sàng, và không làm theo ý chủ, thì sẽ bị đòn nhiều. Còn đầy tớ nào không biết ý chủ ình mà làm những sự đáng trừng phạt, thì sẽ bị đòn ít hơn. Vì người ta đã ban cho ai nhiều, thì sẽ đòi lại kẻ ấy nhiều, và đã giao phó cho ai nhiều, thì sẽ đòi kẻ ấy hiều hơn". Đó là lời Chúa.

The role of the catechist is a vital ministry to the Church. According to St. Pope John Paul II, catechesis is a “sacred and inalienable right...The Church has always considered catechesis one of her primary tasks...Christ gave the apostles a final command - to make disciples of all na ons and to teach them to observe all that He has commanded… Catechesis always has been and always will be a work for which the whole Church must feel responsible and must wish to be responsible.” (CT 1, 14-15) It is a gi that has tremendous value to the global community at large because through the catechist's word and ac on, the message of Christ con nues to have a place in all human affairs.

The work of catechists depends on the witness of the Church for full effect. As Pope Paul VI said,

“People today listen more to witness than they do to teachers and if they do listen to teachers it is because they are witnesses.” There are many ways to share your gifts

with the parish this year:

You Are Needed...Yes YOU!!!

Catholic Charities When life hurts, there is help. Call Catholic Charities for confidential, caring counseling services. Most types of insurance are accepted and a sliding fee is available for those without insurance. Visit us at ccwinona.org or call 507 387-5586.

Pro Life If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love and we remind our-

selves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even His life to love us. So, the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love, that is to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is must also give until it hurts.

19º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 7 DE AGOSTO 2016

NUESTRO PADRE EN LA FE La Carta a los Hebreos hoy canta un himno de ala-banza a Abraham y a su fe, sobre la cual se fundan la religión judía, la cristiana y la mahometana. Abraham es llamado “padre” de la fe por más personas en el mundo que cualquier otro; numerosas como la arena de la playa o las estrellas del cielo. La Carta a los Hebreos nos dice que esta fe firme lo impulsó a obedecer el lla-mado de Dios cuando lo envió a buscar una tierra des-conocida y le dijo que sería padre de una raza poderosa, aunque consideraba su matrimonio infecundo. Pero la fe de Abraham, nos dice el autor de la Carta a los Hebreos, le permitía poseer lo que esperaba y conocer lo que no podía ver. ¿Cuántas veces nos vemos en simples suce-sos cotidianos de nuestra vocación cristiana llamados a un sitio desconocido o enviados a hacer algo que no creemos poder hacer? ¡Qué afortunados somos por te-ner a nuestro padre Abraham como nuestro guía y ejem-plo!
