1199bb--2266,, 3399aa,, 4400--4422 In this wonderful story from John's Gospel, Jesus gives the Samaritan woman at the well the "living water" of truth. Though a foreigner, she is hospitable to Jesus and honest with him. In return, he chooses to reveal to her the truth about his identity. The woman rushes off to tell everyone the good news that the Messiah has come. And she is so convincing that the Samaritans come to see Jesus and to believe in him. 1.) So many people are searching for and "thirsting for" the right answers to life's questions. Will you share with them the "living water" of truth that you have received from Jesus? How?

JJuuaann 44::55--4422 oo 44::55--1155,, 1199bb--2266,, 3399aa,, 4400--4422

En esta maravillosa historia tomada del Evangelio de Juan, Jesús da a la mujer samaritana en el pozo el "agua viva" de la verdad. Es una extranjera y da hospitalidad a Jesús y es honesta con él. En cambio, él escoge revelarle su verdadera identidad. La mujer corre a decir a todo el mundo la buena nueva de que el Mesías ha llegado. Ella está convencida que los samaritanos creyeron en Jesús por su palabra. 1.) Muchas personas buscan y tienen "sed de" las respuestas correctas a las preguntas de la vida. ¿Compartirás con ellos el "agua viva" de la verdad que has recibido de Jesús? ¿Cómo?

Pastor’s Message~ Mensaje del Párroco PPRRIICCEELLEESSSS

A well-known priest started off a parish mission holding up a hundred-dollar bill. He asked, "Who would like this hundred-dollar bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "Let me do this." He crumpled the bill up and asked, "Who wants it now?" More hands were in the air. "Well, what if I do this?" and he dropped it and ground it into the floor with his shoe. He picked up the creased and dirty bill. "Anyone still want it?" All hands were raised. "My friends, you have learned a valuable lesson. This bill is still worth one hundred dollars. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may think we are worthless. But you will never lose your value in God's eyes. Whether you are dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to God." Copyright (c) 2010, World Library Publications.

LLiivviinngg SStteewwaarrddsshhiipp NNooww "A man turning from an evil life is bound to be rendered desperate by the knowledge of his sins, if he does not know how good God is, how kind and gentle, and how ready to forgive." --Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)

IINNVVAALLUUAABBLLEE Un sacerdote renombrado empezó una misión parroquial enseñándole a la gente un billete de cien dólares y preguntándoles: "¿A quién le gustaría tener este billete de cien dólares?" Las manos comenzaron a levantarse. Entonces dijo: "Permítanme hacer esto". Y estrujó el billete y preguntó: "¿Quién lo quiere ahora?" Más manos levantadas. "Bueno, ¿y si hago esto?" Tiró el billete al suelo y comenzó a machacarlo contra el piso con su zapato. Y después recogió el billete arrugado y sucio. "¿Alguien lo quiere todavía?" Todas las manos se alzaron. "Amigos míos, ustedes han aprendido una lección invaluable. Este billete aún conserva su valor de cien dólares. Muchas veces por diferentes circunstancias de la vida, ya sea por decisiones propias o ajenas, nos caemos, nos estrujan, nos machacan y hasta pudiéramos lucir sucios. Podríamos pensar que carecemos de valor. Pero tú nunca perderás tu valor ante Dios. Ya estés sucio o limpio, caído o de pie, a los ojos de Dios tú vales mucho".

"El pecador que se arrepiente de su vida pecaminosa pudiera desesperarse al reconocer la multitud de sus pecados, si no conoce cuán bueno es Dios, cuán misericordioso, compasivo y siempre dispuesto a perdonar". --San Bernardo de Claraval (1090-1153)

We hear today of God’s unrelenting pursuit of us. Our readings tell stories of God’s intense desire to share the divine life with us. From Exodus, we see how God shows endless persistence and compassion, even to those who grumble against God, or seem to have forgotten God. From the Gospel of John, we hear of how Jesus, in his extended conversation with the Samaritan woman, gives her dignity, names uncomfortable truths, and gradually leads her into a new path of faith. We can have confidence that as we bring our own confusions, fears, and failings to God, we may receive God’s mercy and forgiveness. God always persists and continually finds new ways to invite people into unity with God. As Paul describes in Romans, in the cross we see how God will go to any length to demonstrate the depth and breadth of divine love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

About 50% of married couples are likely to need help at some point. Retrouvaille is NOT group therapy and couples are not asked to share their problems or story with anyone else. The program focuses on teaching communication skills between a husband and wife. Couples are guided through the weekend by three presenting couples and a Catholic priest. The program is open to those of all faith traditions as well as those with no faith beliefs. You may find more information at: www.helpourmarriage.org/ Brochures with registration information are available in the parish office. San Francisco Weekend date is: August 28 – 30, 2020.
