THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2019 TRIGESIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO DOMINGO 27 DE OCTUBRE DE 2019 FROM FATHER DAN Dear Parishioners, Today I will retell one of my favorite generosity stories: Jenny, a cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost 5. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. “Oh, Mommy, please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?” she asked. Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar ninety-five,” she said. “That’s almost $2. If you really want them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday’s only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma.” As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McDaniel if she could pick dandelions for 10 cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace. Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere—Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Her mother said if they got wet they might turn her neck green. Jenny had a loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy,” she said. “You know that I love you.” “Then give me your pearls,” he said. “Oh, daddy, not my pearls,” she said. “But you can have Princess, the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She’s my very favorite.” “That’s okay, Honey,” he said, “Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss. About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me?” “Daddy, you know I love you.” she said. “Then give me your pearls,” he said. “Oh Daddy, not my pearls,” she said. “But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper.” “That’s okay,” he said. “Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you.” And, as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss. A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style. As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek. “What is it, Jenny?” he asked. “What’s the matter?” Jenny didn’t say anything, but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, “Here, Daddy, this is for you.” With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny’s daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it is with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that He can give us beautiful treasures. May God bless you, Fr.

FROM FATHER DAN

Dear Parishioners,

Today I will retell one of my favorite generosity stories:

Jenny, a cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost 5. Waiting with her mother at the checkout

stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. “Oh, Mommy, please, Mommy. Can

I have them? Please, Mommy, please?” she asked. Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box

and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar ninety-five,” she

said. “That’s almost $2. If you really want them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can

save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday’s only a week away and you might get another

crisp dollar bill from Grandma.” As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17

pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs.

McDaniel if she could pick dandelions for 10 cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar

bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace. Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel

dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere—Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only

time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Her mother said if they got wet

they might turn her neck green. Jenny had a loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed he

would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story,

he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?” “Oh yes, Daddy,” she said. “You know that I love you.” “Then give me

your pearls,” he said. “Oh, daddy, not my pearls,” she said. “But you can have Princess, the white horse from

my collection, the one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She’s my very favorite.”

“That’s okay, Honey,” he said, “Daddy loves you. Good night.” And he brushed her cheek with a kiss. About a

week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked again, “Do you love me?” “Daddy, you know I love

you.” she said. “Then give me your pearls,” he said. “Oh Daddy, not my pearls,” she said. “But you can have

my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket

that matches her sleeper.” “That’s okay,” he said. “Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you.”

And, as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss. A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny

was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style. As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling

THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2019 TRIGESIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO DOMINGO 27 DE OCTUBRE DE 2019

CARTA DE PADRE DANIEL

Queridos Feligreses:

Hoy voy a volver a contar una de mis historias favoritas de generosidad. Jenny, una niña muy alegre con rizos de oro tenía casi 5 años. Esperando con su madre en la caja registradora, las vio era un círculo de brillantes perlas blancas en una caja de papel de aluminio rosa. "Oh, mami, por favor, mami. ¿Puedo tenerlos? Por favor, mami, por favor?" preguntó. Rápidamente la madre revisó la parte posterior de la pequeña caja de papel de aluminio y luego miró hacia atrás en los ojos azules suplicantes de la cara levantada de su niña. "Un dólar noventa y cinco", dijo. "Eso es casi $2. Si realmente los quieres, pensaré en algunas tareas extra para ti y en poco tiempo puedes ahorrar suficiente dinero para comprarlas para ti. Tu cumpleaños está a sólo una semana de distancia y tu podrías obtener otro billete de dólar nuevo de la abuela. Tan pronto como Jenny llegó a casa, vació su banco de centavos y contó 17 centavos. Después de la cena, hizo más que su parte de las tareas y fue a la vecina y le preguntó a la señora McDaniel si podía recoger para ella dientes de león por 10 centavos. En su cumpleaños, la abuela le dio otro billete de dólar nuevo y por fin tenía suficiente dinero para comprar el collar. A Jenny le encantaban sus perlas. La hacían sentirse adulta. Las llevaba en todas a partes: a la escuela dominical, al jardín de infantes, incluso la cama. La única vez que se los quitaba era cuando iba a nadar o se daba un bañó de burbujas. Su madre dijo que si se mojaban podrían ponerle el cuello verde. Jenny tenía un papá amoroso y todas las noches cuando estaba lista para la cama, dejaba de hacer lo que él hacía y subía a leerle una historia. Una noche, cuando terminó la historia, le preguntó a Jenny: "¿Me amas?" "Oh, sí, papá", dijo. "Sabes que te amo." "Entonces dame tus perlas" ella dijo. "Oh, papá, no mis perlas" "Pero puedes obtener a la princesa, el caballo blanco de mi colección, el de la cola rosa. ¿Recuerdas, papá? La que me diste. Ella es mi favorita." "Está bien, cariño", dijo, "Papá te ama. Buenas noches." Y le acaricio la mejilla con un beso suave. Una semana después, después de la historia, el papá de Jenny preguntó de nuevo: "¿Me amas?". "Papá, sabes que te amo", dijo. "Entonces dame tus perlas", dijo. "Oh, papá, no mis perlas", dijo. "Pero puedes obtener mi muñeca. La nueva que me dieron por mi cumpleaños. Ella es hermosa y puedes tener la manta amarilla que coincide con su traje de dormir. Está bien —dijo—. "Duerme. Dios te bendiga, pequeña. Papá te ama." Y, como siempre, se acaricio la mejilla con un suave beso. Unas noches más tarde, cuando su papá entró, Jenny estaba sentada en su cama con las piernas cruzadas al estilo indio. A medida que se acercaba, se dio cuenta de que su barbilla temblaba y una lágrima silenciosa rodó por su mejilla. "¿Qué pasa, Jenny?", Preguntó. "¿Qué pasa? "Jenny no dijo nada, pero le levantó la mano a su papá. Y cuando lo abrió, estaba su pequeño collar de perlas. Con un poco de temblor, finalmente dijo: "Aquí está, papá, esto es para ti". Con lágrimas en los ojos, el papá de Jenny extendió la mano para tomar el collar de la tienda de diez centavos, y con la otra mano se metió en el bolsillo y sacó una caja de terciopelo azul con una hebra de perlas genuinas y se las dio a Jenny. Las había guardado todo el tiempo. Estaba esperando a que ella renunciara a las cosas de la tienda de diez centavos para poder darle el verdadero tesoro. Así es con nuestro Padre Celestial. Está esperando que renunciemos a las cosas baratas en nuestras vidas para que nos pueda dar hermosos tesoros. Que Dios los bendiga. Fr. Dan

30º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: Para que podamos arrodillarnos ante Dios todos los días, reconociendo humildemente que todo lo que tenemos es un regalo y pidiéndole que nos guíe en la forma en que usamos y compartimos los dones recibidos. "... porque el que se enaltece será humillado, y el que se humilla será enaltecido". Lucas 18:14 El orgullo y el ego son la causa principal de la mayoría de nuestros pecados. Pensar que su tiempo es tan valioso, su talento es mejor que el de los demás y su dinero le da estatus es otra forma de poner esas cosas como "dioses" delante de Dios. Recuerde que todos esos regalos le fueron dados por Dios. En cambio, deberíamos ser más humildes por la abundante generosidad de Dios y nuestros corazones deberían desbordarse de gratitud. .

Prayer for Victims of Pornography

Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus and I repent of this sin and I ask that the Precious Blood of Jesus would cleanse my mind and my heart from the images that have been imprinted there. I pray that you would renew my mind with images of Jesus on the cross dying for my sins. Renew my mind with your Word according to Romans 12:1-2, Lead me Oh Lord to the scriptures that would continue my minds renewal process. Free me from the bondage Oh Holy Spirit, forgive me for having so many time offended you. You have said that no Temptation has laid hold of us, that is not common to man and that you would not allow us to be tempted beyond a point where we cannot escape. I pray that you would show me the way out; show me the traps and roads that the enemy has laid before me so that I may choose another which leads me to you, Oh Lord. THIS IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY. Sponsored by The Catholic Daughters – Court Ave Maria #2001. Ribbons will be passed out at all 5:30 PM, 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM Masses of October 26th & 27th.

OCT. 27th - CELEBRATE PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY! - This

is the day set aside this year to celebrate and extend our thanks and prayers to our priests who serve St. Jerome community in so many ways. We invite you to give our priests a prayer, A Mass, a Holy Hour, a Rosary, a spiritual bouquet, a simple note or a smile to assure them of our loving care and gratitude for their presence in our lives will go a long way to serve the greater good of our wonderful and growing St. Jerome Catholic Church. The reasons for this celebration should be obvious. The number of priests per Catholic has declined over the past 40 years. This makes it more difficult for individual parishioners to establish a close relationship with any one particular priest. PLEASE PRAY FOR VOCATIONS

AND FOR ALL PRIESTS! Let’s celebrate this special day, in

praying for our priests, in praising God for their courage and their

generosity. Let’s show our appreciation for Fr. Dan, Fr. Mike and Fr. Luis.

ONLINE GIVING

The parish website has instructions on how to register for convenient on-line giving. You will have full control of your contribution account and scheduling. This option can be a great way to support the church more consistently and strengthen your commitment to charity. If you would like to begin online giving, visit the link on our website or call Louis De La Cruz: 713-468-9555.

ORACION POR NUESTROS SACERDOTES “Te honramos y damos gloria a ti, Señor Dios nuestro, Creador de todo y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. En tu fidelidad y amor, haz mandado a tu único Hijo a vivir con nosotros y a salvarnos dando su vida por nosotros. Hoy te damos gracias por haber escogido al Padre Dan, al Padre Mike y al Padre Luis para ser llenados con el Espíritu de Jesús mientras dirigen tu congregación con afán, amor y sabiduría. Te pedimos, Padre Santo, que les bendigas abundantemente para que continúen en su ministerio del sacerdocio. Ayúdalos a servir a otros tan generosamente como Jesús lo hizo en momentos de pena y en momentos de alegría. Dios de amor, bendice a nuestro pastor, Padre Dan, para que él pueda alimentarnos con tu Palabra, dirigirnos en oración y adoración, y sostenernos como pastor y como padre. Te pedimos humildemente que des fuerza, sabiduría y bendición a nuestros sacerdotes para que puedan instruirnos con sus enseñanzas, inspirarnos con su predicación, y animarnos con la palabra y el acto de trabajar con ellos por el bien de nuestra parroquia. Te pedimos, Padre Nuestro, que no te alejes de tus sacerdotes, que los guíes día a día hacia senderos nivelados y lisos. Que tu gracia poderosa los haga fuertes en la Fe, alegres en la esperanza y fervientes en el amor, en este día y todos los días de su vida. Te lo pedimos, Padre en el nombre de Jesucristo. Amen.” Dios Padre Todopoderoso, Señor mío y Dios mío ¡Pastor Eterno de las almas! Dígnate mirar con ojos de misericordia a esta comunidad Católica de San Jerónimo que tanto te ama. Señor, necesitamos mayor número de Sacerdotes, multiplica las vocaciones y santifica más y más a nuestros Sacerdotes. Señor, danos muchos y muy santos sacerdotes.

RESPECT LIFE: "Christ has something in common with all

creatures. With the stone he shares existence, with the plants

embraces some part of every creature." - St. Bonaventure

Future movie nights will be: November 15 (TBD) & December 27 (TBD)

eGiving with Faith Direct

Many of you are aware and take advantage of the convenience of electronic giving to our parish and we are grateful for that. We believe it is time to upgrade to a more streamlined online provider for our eGiving needs through Faith Direct. For those of you who have yet to join us in giving online, I strongly encourage you to do so. Here’s why: Faith Direct enables parishioners to make your Church contributions through either direct debit from your checking/savings account or through your credit/debit card. No more writing checks or searching for envelopes on the way out the door. Now you can apply the convenience of direct debit to your parish offerings in much the same way as you may now use it to make your mortgage, car or tuition payments. Faith Direct also offers you personalized offertory cards to replace your envelopes for the collection basket.
