Did you know?What to do if you are worried about family abductionFamily abduction happens when a child is taken or hidden by one family member from another, against custody or visitation rights. In some circumstances, family abduction is considered a crime, and can be prosecuted. If you are worried about a possible family abduction, you can take action. Have a valid custo-dy agreement that outlines who can see or take your child, and when. Advise your child’s school or day-care about custody arrangements, including who can and cannot pick up your child. For more information, visit missingkids.org/theissues/familyabduction.

¿Sabía que..?Qué hacer si le preocupa el secuestro familiarEl secuestro familiar ocurre cuando un miembro de la familia se lleva a un niño o lo esconde de otro miem-bro de la familia, en oposición de los derechos de custodia o los derechos de visita. En algunas circun-stancias, el secuestro familiar se considera un delito y puede ser procesado. Si a usted le preocupa un posible secuestro familiar, usted puede actuar. Tenga un acuerdo de custodia válido que describa quién puede ver o llevarse a su hijo y cuándo. Informe a la escuela o a la guardería de su hijo sobre los arre-glos de custodia, incluyendo quién puede y quién no puede recoger a su hijo.

PATIENCE IS THE COMPANION OF WISDOM!

“Patience is the companion of wisdom!”Saint Augustine

To the members of the Saint Finbar Church community:

Today we reflect on the words of Saint Augustine. Think about it for a moment. Patience often seems to be the most elusive of virtues. However... When seeking the insights and counsel of others, don’t we often choose the person we know to be the most patient for advise and encourage-ment?

Saint Augustine had his mother as a tutor on patience. Saint Monica, the mother of Saint Augustine, is celebrated for her patience and persistence in prayer. Saint Augustine didn’t exactly lead a “saintly” existence in his early years yet his conversion to the faith has been celebrated through the centuries and his influence on Christian philosophy is rivaled by few others. Saint Monica’s patience and perseverance in prayer were integral to her son’s conversion. As a Church we are blessed by the witness and faith of these two great saints.

Patience can be among the most challenging virtues to attain because it takes time, practice and it pretty much requires learning to live with vulnerability. That’s why prayer is often vital for those who pursue the virtue. None of us like the feeling of vulnerability as we wait on things that are important to us. However, mutual vulnerability is necessary in the development of loving relationships and life-long friendships.

Through patience we open ourselves to receive God’s gift of wisdom. The two virtues are not only companions, they work hand-in-hand. Wisdom is the reward of patience and patience is the outcome of wise thinking.

Saint Finbar Church is blessed to have you as a member of our community. It’s your faith, your wisdom, your patience and your perseverance that assist in making Saint Finbar Church such a wonderful place for fellowship, friendship and worship. As we continue our community’s journey of faith through the pandemic, please know we truly cherish your presence and your involvement at Saint Finbar Church. Your willingness to brave uncertainty at a time of mutual vulnerability is an act of faith and your continued presence is an example of faith.

Though few of us considers ourselves to be patient, the countless acts of wisdom and patience that you have demonstrated over the past eighteen months are lessons for us all. We journey together. The wisdom you have shared and the patience you have demonstrated are making us a stronger community of faith and a community ready to embrace in faith all of the challenges and opportunities we will encounter as we emerge into the post-pandemic world. Just a little more patience, please. We will soon be there together!

Fiesta De La FeLa paz sea contigo

Mientras que el Padrenuestro es una oración que nos dispone a la paz con Dios y con los demás, es una oración que también nos lleva en sí misma a ofrecer el perdón y a recibir el perdón. El darnos la paz es una forma clara de comunión, de cumplir el mandato de Cristo. El gesto exterior de la paz es una expresión del perdón mutuo y de la necesidad de renovar nuestras relaciones humanas. Este espíritu de caridad y justicia va acompañado de un saludo (antes era con un beso) luego de que la Iglesia ha implorado la “paz y la unidad para sí misma y para toda la Iglesia” (IGMR, 82). Esta misma expresión de paz y perdón es el requisito mínimo de quien quiere presentarse ante Dios para compartir su banquete o bien, para pedir el perdón para sí mismo. Este rito y este gesto encierran en sí mismos la radicalidad del cristianismo, de amar como Jesús amó, plenamente y para siempre. Por ello nos deseamos la paz de ver-dad, mirándonos a los ojos y deseando para nuestro prójimo que la paz habite en sus corazones.
