FAITH AND HOPE Faith and hope are closely united in today’s readings. The Israelites knew when the Passo-ver was coming, and so were not in fear, but had faith and courage, “putting into effect with one accord the divine institution.” In this we can see a foretelling of the Eucharist that we celebrate according to Christ’s command, “Do this in memory of me.” We see that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob died in faith, although they did not see fulfill-ment of the promise. We live in hope that our faith will be fulfilled every time we celebrate this sacrament. We too are not to be afraid, but to have hope that our faith will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ.

Please sign up on the bulletin board in the back of the Church so we know how many chairs to set up. There is no charge for this event.
HOLY LAND PILGRIMAGE TALK
I have noticed that students are getting ready to get back to school. Some students are happy and others not. I understand that many of us do not like change; it can throw some of us off with what we are comfortable with. In our parish, there are also many changes that are taking place. The back wall in the parish was recently painted. We are looking into creating and utilizing the lighting in the sanc-tuary in our church in the best possible way with a grant that we received. The gardens around the church property are getting done and the irrigation system has been a work in progress so that it would be effective and not be wasting water. We are also dealing with many other maintenance needs of our parish. Keep supporting our parish as we continue to deal with the changes that need to take place. Let us all pray for those who are getting ready to start school and pray for those who have been affected by the recent shootings.
May God continue to bless you and our parish of St. Thomas, Fr. Abel
PASTOR’S MESSAGE
The dogma of the Assumption of Mary – also called the “Dormition of Mary” in the Eastern Churches – has its roots in the early centuries of the Church. The Catholic Church teaches that when Mary ended her earthly life, God assumed her, body and soul into heaven.

En la Iglesia de Santo Tomás tene-mos la Adoración del Santísimo Sa-cramento el viernes 6 de septiembre de 9am a 9pm. El Santísimo Sacra-mento estará expuesto en la custo-dia en el altar para Adoración y ora-ción hasta las 10pm y la misa se ce-lebrará a las 12pm en Ingles. Por favor venga y acompáñenos para la
Adoración en este primer viernes. Invitamos que personas se registren para una Hora Santa. La hoja de inscripción está en el tablero de anuncios en el salón de la iglesia. Considere inscribirse durante una hora para asegurarse de que tenga-mos por lo menos un adorador por hora, y si es posible más de una persona por hora.
He notado que los estudiantes se están preparando para volver a la escuela. Algunos estudiantes es-tán felices y otros no. Entiendo que a muchos de nosotros no nos gusta el cambio; puede confundir-nos con lo que nos sentimos cómodos. En nuestra parroquia, también se están produciendo muchos cambios. La pared posterior de la parroquia fue pintada recientemente. Estamos buscando mejorar y utilizar la iluminación en el santuario de nuestra iglesia de la mejor manera posible con un donativo que recibimos. Se están terminando los jardines alrededor de la propiedad de la iglesia y el sistema de riego es un trabajo en progreso para que sea efectivo y no se desperdicie agua. También nos ocu-pamos de muchas otras necesidades de mantenimiento de nuestra parroquia. Continúen apoyando a nuestra parroquia mientras continuamos lidiando con los cambios que deben llevarse a cabo. Ore-mos todos por aquellos que se están preparando para comenzar la escuela y oremos por aquellos que han sido afectados por los recientes tiroteos.
Que Dios continúe bendiciendo a usted y a nuestra parroquia de St. Thomas, El P. Abel
ADORACIÓN AL SANTÍSIMO

Gospel: Lk 12:32-48 Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the king-dom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhausti-ble treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. “Gird your loins and light your lamps and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wed-ding, ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks. Blessed are those servants whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival. Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself, have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them. And should he come in the second or third watch and find them prepared in this way, blessed are those servants. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour when the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” Then Peter said, “Lord, is this parable meant for us or for everyone?” And the Lord re-plied, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so. Truly, I say to you, the master will put the servant in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to him-self, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful. That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly. Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”

En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "No temas, rebañito mío, porque tu Padre ha tenido a bien darte el Reino. Vendan sus bienes y den limosnas. Consíganse unas bolsas que no se destruyan y acumulen en el cielo un tesoro que no se acaba, allá donde no llega el ladrón, ni carcome la polilla. Porque donde está su tesoro, ahí estará su corazón. Estén listos, con la túnica puesta y las lámparas encendidas. Sean semejantes a los criados que están esperando a que su señor regrese de la boda, para abrirle en cuanto llegue y toque. Dichosos aquellos a quienes su señor, al llegar, encuentre en vela. Yo les aseguro que se recogerá la túnica, los hará sentar a la mesa y él mismo les servirá. Y si llega a medianoche o a la madrugada y los encuentra en vela, dichosos ellos. Fíjense en esto: Si un padre de familia supiera a qué hora va a venir el ladrón, estaría vigilando y no dejaría que se le metiera por un boquete en su casa. Pues tam-bién ustedes estén preparados, porque a la hora en que menos lo piensen vendrá el Hijo del hombre''. Entonces Pedro le preguntó a Jesús: "¿Dices esta parábola sólo por nosotros o por todos?" El Señor le respondió: "Supongan que un administrador, puesto por su amo al frente de la servidumbre, con el encargo de repartirles a su tiempo los alimentos, se porta con fidelidad y pru-dencia. Dichoso este siervo, si el amo, a su llegada, lo encuentra cumpliendo con su deber. Yo les aseguro que lo pondrá al frente de todo lo que tiene. Pero si este sier-vo piensa: 'Mi amo tardará en llegar' y empieza a mal-tratar a los criados y a las criadas, a comer, a beber y a embriagarse, el día menos pensado y a la hora más inesperada, llegará su amo y lo castigará severamente y le hará correr la misma suerte que a los hombres des-leales. El servidor que, conociendo la voluntad de su amo, no haya preparado ni hecho lo que debía, recibirá muchos azotes; pero el que, sin conocerla, haya hecho algo digno de castigo, recibirá pocos. Al que mucho se le da, se le exigirá mucho, y al que mucho se le confía, se le exigirá mucho más''.
