REMINDER!

in accordance to guidelines from the

Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

From the Parochial Today’s Gospel passage reminds us that Christian discipleship demands self-denial, the willingness to suffer, the readiness to follow Jesus by obeying His commandment of love, and generosity in surrendering our lives to God; “to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God” (Romans 12:1). The prophet Jeremiah, in the first reading, is certainly a prototype of the suffering Christ. In the Responsorial Psalm (Ps 65), the Psalmist manifests his deep trust in God, just as Jeremiah himself does. In the second reading, St. Paul advises us: to “offer our bodies as a living sacrifice” to God by explicitly rejecting the ungodly behavior of the world around us and by discerning and doing the will of God. In today’s Gospel, Jesus takes His disciples by surprise when, after Peter’s great confession of Faith, Jesus announces that He “must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly from the elders, the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised. After correcting Peter’s objection, Jesus announces the three conditions of Christian discipleship: “Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me.” Taking up our crosses and following Jesus is not an easy proposition, I bet you - but doing it is a most fulfilling and rewarding way to live in the next life! This week, we are all invited to join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family to take part of The Season of Creation - an annual ecumenical celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home. It takes place from 1st September - the World Day of Prayer for Creation - to 4th October - the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through repenting, repairing, and rejoicing together. The theme for the 2020 Season of Creation is “Jubilee for the Earth”. ‘This year, the global reach of the novel coronavirus revealed our shared human nature and the inter-connectivity of our economies, political structures, health care systems, food production chains, and energy and transportation systems in devastating ways. Jubilee is a call for people of faith to inspire our imagination and courage to restore right relationships with the Earth and all species.’ This year, amid crises that have shaken our world, we’re awakened to the urgent need to heal our relationships with creation and each other. During the season this year, we enter a time of restoration and hope, a jubilee for our Earth, that requires radically new ways of living with creation. With so much injustice all around us, now is the time for Christians everywhere to come together and show the world how to love each other and creation through ‘self-denial’ as Jesus says in the Gospel. Fr. Luke Manuel OSH

As Catholics, we believe that

all we have is a gift from God.

Our response in faith is to offer

these gifts back to God in

gratitude. With gifts of prayer,

we pray for our nation, Church

and our parishes. With gifts of

treasure, we support our par-

ishes even when we cannot be

there in person.

How you can Help:

1. Those who receive church envelopes through the mail, you may drop off your dona-tions through the mail slot in the front door of the parish office any time during the week or weekend.

2. Online giving is available just visit our parish website at www.ndgh.org and click on Parish Offering.

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: August 30

That each of us may have the strength and courage to put

Jesus first above worldly ways and material gains. “What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world

and forfeit his life?” Matthew 16:26

St. Francis of Assisi once said, “Remember, you are what you are in the eyes of God, and nothing else.” We often forget this

stewardship wisdom when we spend all of our time, talent and treasure to gain more of the world’s riches. We need to set our

priorities based on God’s values and not the values of the material world.

22º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 30 de Agosto

"¿Qué beneficio tendría para uno ganar el mundo entero

y perder su vida?" Mateo 16:26

San Francisco de Asís dijo una vez: "Recuerda, eres lo que eres a los ojos de Dios, y nada más". A menudo olvidamos esta

sabiduría de corresponsabilidad cuando gastamos todo nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoros para obtener más riquezas

del mundo. Necesitamos establecer nuestras prioridades basadas en los valores de Dios y no en los valores del mundo

material.

22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Del Vicario El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy nos recuerda que el discipulado Cristiano exige abnegación, la voluntad de sufrir, la disposición a seguir a Jesús obedeciendo su mandamiento del amor y la generosidad al entregar nuestra vida a Dios; “ofrezca su cuerpo como sacrificio vivo, santo y agradable a Dios” (Romanos 12: 1).

El profeta Jeremías, en la primera lectura, es ciertamente un prototipo del Cristo sufriente. En el Salmo Responsorial (Sal 65), el salmista manifiesta su profunda confianza en Dios, al igual que el mismo Jeremías.

En la segunda lectura, San Pablo nos aconseja: “ofrecer nuestros cuerpos como sacrificio vivo” a Dios rechazando explícitamente el comportamiento impío del mundo que nos rodea y discerniendo y haciendo la voluntad de Dios.

En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús toma a sus discípulos por sorpresa cuando, después de la gran confesión de fe de Pedro, Jesús anuncia a sus discípulos que tenía que ir a Jerusalén para padecer allí mucho de parte de los ancianos, de los sumos sacerdotes y de los escribas; que tenía que ser condenado a muerte y resucitar al tercer día. Después de corregir la objeción de Pedro, Jesús anuncia las tres condiciones del discipulado Cristiano: “El que quiera venir conmigo, que renuncie a sí mismo, que tome su cruz y me siga.”

Tomar nuestras cruces y seguir a Jesús no es una propuesta fácil, te apuesto a que, ¡pero hacerlo es la forma más satisfactoria y gratificante de vivir en la próxima vida!

Esta semana, todos estamos invitados a unirnos a nuestros hermanos y hermanas de la familia ecuménica para participar del Tiempo de la Creación, una celebración ecuménica anual de oración y acción para proteger nuestro hogar común. Tiene lugar desde el 1 de septiembre, la Jornada mundial de oración por la creación, hasta el 4 de octubre, la fiesta de San Francisco de Asís. La Temporada de la Creación es un momento para renovar nuestra relación con nuestro Creador y toda la creación a través del arrepentimiento, la reparación y la alegría juntos.

El tema de la Temporada de la Creación 2020 es “Jubileo de la Tierra.” ‘Este año, el alcance global del nuevo coronavirus reveló nuestra naturaleza humana compartida y la interconexión de nuestras economías, estructuras políticas, sistemas de atención médica, cadenas de producción de alimentos y sistemas de energía y transporte de formas devastadoras. Jubileo es un llamado a las personas de fe para inspirar nuestra imaginación y coraje para restaurar las relaciones correctas con la Tierra y todas las especies.”

Este año, en medio de las crisis que han sacudido nuestro mundo, nos despertamos a la urgente necesidad de sanar nuestras relaciones con la creación y entre nosotros. Durante la temporada de este año, entramos en una época de restauración y esperanza, un jubileo para nuestra Tierra, que requiere formas radicalmente nuevas de vivir con la creación. Con tanta injusticia a nuestro alrededor, ahora es el momento de que los Cristianos de todo el mundo se reúnan y muestren al mundo cómo amarse unos a otros y a la creación a través de la "abnegación", como dice Jesús en el Evangelio. Padre Luke Manuel OSH
