JULY 22-23

PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH The Sisters of St. Francis’ Missioners will be speaking at Sunday Masses this week. The Sisters serve those who are poor, with foreign missions in Mexico and home missions in Mexico and Appalachia. In remote areas of Mexico they work to build faith communities where there are no priests for regular Sunday Masses. Sisters also give chil-dren living in extreme poverty the opportunity to obtain an education plus emergency needs of food and medicine. Appalachian ministries include faith development and pastoral care, adult literacy, and emergency outreach of food, clothing, and shelter for the poor. Please help make a difference in the lives of people suffering from poverty with your prayers and financial support.

PROPAGACION DE LA FE Este fin de semana nuestra parroquia se com-place en dar la bienvenida a las Hermanas Misioneras de San Francisco que haran una apelación en todas las misas. Las hermanas asisten a los pobres, con misiones extranjeras en México y misiones domésticas en los Montes Apalaches. En àreas remotas de México, ellas trabajan para edificar comunidades de fe y dar a los niños y niñas que viven en extrema probreza la oportunidad de obtener una edcucación, así como también alimentos y medicina. Los ministerios en los Montes Apalaches incluyen evangelización, cuidado pastoral, alfabetización de adultos, servicios de emer-gencia de comida, ropa y albergue. Tendremos una segunda colecta especial en todas las misas y les pedi-mos a todos los feligreses que ayuden a hacer una diferencia en las vidas de los pobres con su generosa ayuda financiera.

Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, say-ing: “The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While every-one was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, “Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?” He answered, “An enemy has done this.” His slaves said to him, “Do you want us to go and pull them up?” He replied, “No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.” (He proposed another parable to them. “The king-dom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field, It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the “birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.” He spoke to then another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.” All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in para-ble . He spoke to them only in parables, to fulfill what had been said through the prophet: I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the founda-tion of the world. Then , dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.” He said in reply, “He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like to the sun in the kingdom of their father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”) The gospel of the Lord Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ

XVI DOMINGO ORDINARIO EVANGELIO MT 13:24-43 o 13:24-30—JULIO 23 En aquel tiempo, Jesús propuso esta parábola a la muche-dumbre: “El Reino de los cielos se parece a un hombre que sembró buena semilla en su campo; pero mientras los traba-jadores dormían, llegó un enemigo del dueño, sembró cizaña entre el trigo y se marchó. Cuando crecieron las plantas y se empezaba a formar la espiga, apareció también la cizaña. Entonces los trabajadores fueron a decirle al amo: “Señor, ¿qué no sembraste buena semilla en tu campo? ¿De dónde, pues, salió esta cizaña?” El amo les respondió: “De seguro lo hizo un enemigo mío”. Ellos le dijeron: “¿Quieres que vaya-mos a arrancarlas?” Pero él les contestóó: “No. No sea que al arrancar la cizaña, arranquen también el trigo. Dejen que crezcan juntos hasta el tiempo de la cosecha y, cuando lle-gue la cosecha, diré a los segadores: Arranquen primero la cizaña y atenla en gavillas para quemarla; y luego almace-nen el trigo en mi granero’”. (Luego les propuso esta otra parábola: “El Reino de los cie-los es semejante a la semilla de mostaza que un hombre siembra en un huerto,. Ciertamente es la màs pequeña de todas las semillas, pero cuando crece, llega a ser màs gran-de que las hortalizas y se convierte en un arbusto, de mane-ra que los pájaros vienen y hacen su nido en las ramas:” Les dijo también otra parábola ” “El Reino de los cielos se parece a un poco de la levadura que tomó una mujer la mez-cló con tres medidas de harina, y toda la masa acabo por fermentar”. Jesús decía a la muchedumbre todas estas cosas con pará-bolas, y sin parábolas nada les decía, para que se cumpliera lo que dijo el profeta: Abriré mi boca y les hablaré con parábolas; anunciaré lo que estaba oculto desde la creación del mundo. Luego despidió a la multitud y se fue a su casa. Entonces se le acercaron sus discípulos y le dijeron: “Explícanos la pará-bola de la cizaña sembrada en el campo”. Jesús le contestó: “El sembrador de la buena semilla es el Hijo del hombre, el campo es el mundo, la buena semilla son los ciudadanos del Reino, la cizaña son los partidarios del maligno, el enemigo que la siembra es el diablo, el tiempo de la cosecha es el fin del mundo, y los segadores son los ángeles. Y así como re-cogen la cizaña y la queman en el fuego, así sucederá al fin del mundo: el Hijo del hombre enviara a sus ángeles para que arranquen de su Reino a todos los que inducen a otros al pecado y a todos los malvados, y los arrojen en el horno encendido. Allí será el llanto y la desesperación. Entonces los justos brillaran como el sol en el Reino de su Padre., El que tenga oídos, que oiga”).
