St. Francis de Sales Parish confesses our belief in

Jesus Christ as Lord and proclaims the Kingdom of

God in the Roman Catholic tradition by forming a

community reflective of the diverse cultures of our

area, empowered by God’s spirit, and dedicated to

the shared ministry of witnessing to the Good News

in Word, in Sacrament, and in Action.

“Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing”

Dear brothers and sisters,

Dear brothers and sisters,

Today Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth and goes to the synagogue as he did every Shabbat. Being there, he is invited to proclaim the word of God. He is handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah and reads the pas-sage we heard. Up until now there is nothing particular about these scene; but, what Jesus will say after that is what is amazing: “These words are fulfilled in your hearing”. What does that mean? It means that the promise that God has made through so many patriarchs, prophets, kings is being fulfilled in front of them. Imagine, God is answering the pray-ers of His people and the answer is in front of them. This is the beauty of Christianity; our God is not far away but he is “God-with-us” — Emanuel. So as we start this week, I invite you not to forget that God is answering our prayers as we speak — sometimes the answer is not the one we want or we fail to see it, but it is there. Saint Paul is so sure of this that he says in his Letter to the Romans that every-thing works for the good of those who love God.

Next week is the Sharing God’s Blessings Annual Appeal. I encourage you to listen to it with open hearts. So many of our programs run thank to this Appeal. Also, next weekend Mr. Felipe Santos from Genesis Tours will be back with us to collect the forms and deposit that some of you took and if anyone is interested to go in this pilgrimage, he will have a meeting after the 10:30 AM Mass and after the 12 Noon Mass.

Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

Hoy, Jesús regresa a su ciudad natal de Nazaret y va a la sinagoga como lo hizo todos los Shabat. Estando allí, es invitado a proclamar la palabra de Dios. Se le entrega el rollo del profeta Isaías y lee el pasaje que escuchamos. Hasta este momento, no hay nada de particular en esta escena; pero, lo que Jesús dirá después de eso es lo que es asombroso: “Estas palabras se cumplen en vuestro escucha”. ¿Qué significa eso? Significa que la promesa que Dios ha hecho a través de tantos patriarcas, profetas, reyes se está cumpliendo frente a ellos. Imagínese, Dios está respondiendo las oraciones de su pueblo y la respuesta está delante de ellos. Esta es la belleza del cristianis-mo; nuestro Dios no está lejos, pero él es “Dios con nosotros”, Emanuel. Entonces, al comenzar esta semana, los invito a no olvidar que Dios está contestando nuestras oraciones mientras hablamos; a veces la respuesta no es la que queremos o no la vemos, pero está ahí. San Pablo está tan seguro de esto que dice en su Carta a los romanos que todo funciona para el bien de los que aman a Dios.

La próxima semana es la Campaña Anual de Compartir las Bendiciones de Dios. Los animo a que lo escuchen con los corazones abier-tos. Muchos de nuestros programas se ejecutan gracias a esta Apelo. Además, el próximo fin de semana, el Sr. Felipe Santos de Genesis Tours regresará para recoger los formularios y el depósito que algunos de ustedes tomaron y, si alguien está interesado en participar en esta peregrinación, tendrá una reunión después de la Misa de las 10:30 a.m. y después de la misa del mediodía.

San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!

Queridos irmãos e irmãs,

Hoje, Jesus retorna à sua cidade natal, Nazaré, e vai à sinagoga como fazia todo Shabat. Estando lá, ele é convidado a proclamar a palavra de Deus. Ele é entregue o pergaminho do profeta Isaías e lê a passagem que ouvimos. Até agora não há nada específico sobre essa cena; mas, o que Jesus dirá depois disso é o que é surpreendente: “Estas palavras se cumprem em vossa audição”. O que isso significa? Isso significa que a promessa que Deus fez através de tantos patriarcas, profetas e reis está sendo cumprida na frente deles. Imagine, Deus está respondendo as orações de Seu povo e a resposta está na frente deles. Essa é a beleza do cristianismo; nosso Deus não está longe, mas ele é “Deus conosco” - Emanuel. Então, ao começarmos esta semana, convido-os a não esquecer que Deus está respondendo nossas orações enquanto falamos - às vezes a resposta não é a que queremos ou falhamos em ver, mas está lá. São Paulo tem tanta certeza disso que ele diz em sua Carta aos Romanos que tudo funciona para o bem daqueles que amam a Deus.

A próxima semana é o Apelo Anual das Bênçãos Divinas de Deus. Encorajo-vos a ouvi-lo de coração aberto. Muitos dos nossos programas agradecem a este apelo. Além disso, no próximo fim de semana o Sr. Felipe Santos da Genesis Tours estará de volta conosco para coletar os formulários e depósitos que alguns de vocês pegaram e se alguém estiver interessado em ir nesta peregrinação, ele terá uma reunião depois das 10:30 da Missa. e depois da missa do meio-dia.

São Francisco de Sales ora por nós!

Fr. Francisco

Bishop's Weekly Bible Reflection on Stewardship “Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks, and allot portions to those who had nothing prepared...” (Nehemiah 8:10) Ezra's instructions to the people show us that God does not forbid us from enjoying the good things in life. He wants us to be happy! However, God expects us to be grateful for all that he has given us and to generously share our blessings with those who are in need without expecting anything in return.
