CONGRATULATIONS

GIFTS OF STEWARDSHIP STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION/ REFLEXIONES DEL ESPIRITU DE SERVICIO

ENVELOPE CORRECTIONS

The Community of St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church

joyfully congratulates the following

who received their First Communion

the weekend of July 4 and 5:

Barbara Jolie Hernandez

Sebastian Morales

Fif teenth Sunday in Ordinary Time July 12 That the seeds God sows in our lives may take root and lead

to greater prayer, participation, and generosity. “The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word but then the cares of the world and lure of riches choke the

word and it bears no fruit.” (Matthew 13:22) Does the lure of riches and material goods choke God out of your life? Are you so caught up in earthly activities that you have no

time for God? Gratitude and generosity are virtues that we should strive to do on a daily basis. Every decision we make either takes

us one step closer to God or one step further away. What we receive at Mass every Sunday should be shared with others all

the other days of the week as well.

15° domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 12 de julio “La semilla sembrada entre espinas es la que escucha la

palabra, pero luego las preocupaciones del mundo y el atractivo de las riquezas ahogan la palabra y no da fruto.” (Mateo 13:22)

¿Ahogan a Dios en tu vida el atractivo de las riquezas y los bienes materiales? ¿Estás tan atrapado en actividades terrenales que no

tienes tiempo para Dios? La gratitud y la generosidad son virtudes que debemos esforzarnos en practicar a diario. Cada decisión que

tomamos nos lleva un paso mas cerca de Dios o un paso mas lejos. Lo que recibimos en la Misa todos los domingos también se debe

compartir con los demás durante la semana.

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all

things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You

sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Mi Jesús, Yo creo que tu están presentes en el

Santísimo Sacramento. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma. Como no

puedo en este momento recibirte sacramentalmente, entra al menos

espiritualmente en mi corazón. Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí y me uno completamente a ti.

Nunca permitas que me separe de ti. Amen

We would like to raise $100,000 for expenses usually funded by the bazaar.
