STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION In today’s Gospel Reading from St. Matthew, Christ is asked why He speaks in parables. His response in part is the statement, “To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” Christ’s parables, of which there are many, may not always make sense to us, unless we consider them carefully.

Christ’s speaking in and relating to parables has everything to do with what we call The Word. If we listen conscientiously to the Word (represented by our readings at Masses and to the homily we hear), we may, and perhaps even should, grasp the meaning. The Word is filled with the deeper truths of the Bible. God opens our eyes and ears to these truths, but we must be amenable to them and must be willing to try to un-derstand them. Too often we merely listen and do not hear. We go through the motions, when our total con-centration should be on what we are being told. First of all we need to appreciate that only God can open the eyes and ears of each of us.

One of the popular phrases about stewardship is “an attitude of gratitude.” That is so important. On a bad day, even the most hardened of us can find one thing for which to be grateful, and that can adjust everything in our thought processes. Are we closed to the teachings of Jesus? If we open our minds and concentrate, the Lord’s teachings may unfold to us like nothing we have ever experienced previously.

REFLECION DOMINICAL En la Lectura del Evangelio de hoy de San Mateo, a Cristo se le pregunta por qué Él habla en parábolas. Su respuesta en parte es la declaración: "A cualquiera que tenga, se le dará más y se enriquecerá; De quien no lo tiene, aun lo que tiene será quitado. "Las parábolas de Cristo, de las cuales hay muchas, no siempre tienen sentido para nosotros, a menos que las consideremos con cuidado.

El hablar y hablar de las parábolas tiene todo que ver con lo que llamamos la Palabra. Si escuchamos conscientemente a la Palabra (representada por nuestras lecturas en las misas y por la homilía que escuchamos), podemos, y tal vez deberíamos, captar el significado. La Palabra está llena de las verdades más profundas de la Biblia. Dios abre nuestros ojos y oídos a estas verdades, pero debemos ser amables con ellas y debemos estar dispuestos a tratar de entenderlas. Demasiado a menudo simplemente escuchamos y no escuchamos. Pasamos por los movimientos, cuando nuestra concentración total debe estar en lo que nos están diciendo. En primer lugar, debemos apreciar que sólo Dios puede abrir los ojos y los oídos de cada uno de nosotros.

Una de las frases populares sobre mayordomía es "una actitud de gratitud". Eso es tan importante. En un mal día, incluso el más endurecido de nosotros puede encontrar una cosa por la que estar agradecido, y que puede ajustar todo en nuestros procesos de pensamiento. ¿Estamos cerrados a las enseñanzas de Jesús? Si abrimos nuestras mentes y nos concentramos, las enseñanzas del Señor pueden revelarnos como nada que hayamos experimentado anteriormente.

FIVE GREAT DECEPTIONS TUESDAY, JULY 25TH, 7PM

Ascension Catholic Church presents 2017 Summer SPEAKER SERIES. Free Admission. Cy Kellett Host, Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers Who am I? Who is God? Who is Jesus? What is the Church? How can I know for sure? To each of these questions, our era gives not just the wrong answer, but deception. The source of the deception is ancient and cruel. The proper response is to reclaim our heritage as children of God — a heritage of light for our minds and love unquenchable.

THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS IN THE LIVES OF CHRISTIANS

TUESDAY, AUGUST 8TH, 7PM Ascension Catholic Church presents 2017 Summer SPEAKER SERIES. Free Admission. Tim Staples, Director of Apologetics and Evangelization, Catholic Answers Focusing on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Tim demonstrates the importance of the "center" of all metaphors for the People of God…the Body of Christ. It is from this truth of our union with Christ as members of his Body through baptism that all of the truths of the Communion of Saints flow.

St. James—St. Leo Catholic Community is under the pastoral care of the Eudist Fathers, or Congregation of Jesus and Mary. We owe our name to Saint John Eudes who founded the Congregation in France in 1643. The Eudists currently operate in 15 countries, most of which are in the developing world. Evangelization, mainly with the poor and the youth, is our primary purpose, as well as formation to ministry in the

training of diocesan priests and lay ministers. Our motto is “To Serve Christ and His Church.” For more information visit: http://www.eudistsusa.org
