August 18, 2019 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time BISHOP’S REFLECTION FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST Dear Students, I hope you are having a great summer. As we quickly approach another academic year, I would like to remind you of two basic things as you get ready to continue your studies and reunite with your friends in the new school year. First, I hope you have been faithful to prayer. Second, I hope you have attended Mass during your summer break. Our vacation time does not mean a “vacation time” away from prayer, nor away from Jesus who loves you. If for some reason this has happened, recommit yourselves to prayer and attending Mass with your family as you get back to your regular schedule as you begin school. Prayer offers you the opportunity to speak to Jesus as your personal “best” friend. He desires, and is waiting for you to spend some time with him: “heart-to-heart.” As you attend Mass, you have the opportunity to listen to the Word of God, especially the Gospel, and to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. This year, as you experience an increase in knowledge through your ongoing education, know that it is even more important that you continue to grow in your faith and ongoing “spiritual” formation. This is important for all of you, but even more so, for those of you who received your First Holy Communion this year and those of you who were Confirmed. Prayer and attending Mass is necessary in order to have a strong relationship with Jesus. He needs to be the center of your life. His Teachings, which he has given to the Church, are your guide in life. Listen to what Jesus has to say to you as you prepare to return to your school. Remember, as your Bishop, I am praying for all of you as you get ready to go back to school. As you step onto campus and enter the classroom, or step onto the playground or athletic field, may you take with you the “living presence” of Jesus. May you be the best reflection of a Christ-centered student that you can be. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. Follow Jesus as a good disciple and call upon your Blessed Mother, Our Lady, to watch over you. To all of you: from Kindergarten students to the Senior Classes of 2019-2020, and to you our College and University students, may God be with you as you commit yourselves to prayer and the Holy Eucharist throughout your school year. In the Peace of Christ, Bishop Cotta † ST. PATRICK’S CHOIR IS RESUMING!

REFLEXIÓN DEL OBISPO PARA EL MES DE AGOSTO Estimados Estudiantes, Espero que hayan tenido unas buenas vacaciones de verano. Al empezar el nuevo año escolar ustedes se preparan para continuar sus estudios y reunirse con sus compañeros, me gustaría recordarles dos cosas básicas. Primero, espero que hayan sido fiel a la oración. Segundo, espero que hayan asistido a Misa durante sus vacaciones escolares. Nuestro tiempo de vacaciones no significa “vacaciones” de la oración ni tampoco tiempo para alejarnos de Jesús quien nos ama. Si por alguna razón esto ha pasado, vuelve a comprometerte a la oración y a asistir a Misa con tu familia al comenzar la escuela y tu horario regular. La oración te ofrece la oportunidad para hablar con Jesús como tú “mejor” amigo. El desea y te espera para que pasas con El, algún tiempo: de “corazón a corazón”. Al asistir a Misa, tienes la oportunidad de escuchar la Palabra de Dios, especialmente en el Evangelio, y de recibir a Jesús en la Sagrada Comunión. Este año, al crecer tu conocimiento a través de la educación, recuerda que es más importante que tú continúes creciendo en tu fe y en una formación continua “espiritual”. Esto es importante para todos, pero lo es más aún para los que han recibido la Primera Comunión y los que se Confirmaron este año. La oración y el asistir a Misa es muy necesario para tener una relación profunda con Jesús. El necesita ser el centro de nuestras vidas. Sus enseñanzas cual Él ha dado a la Iglesia, son una guía para tu vida. Escucha lo que Jesús te dice al prepararte al regreso a la escuela. Recuerda, como tu Obispo, estoy rezando por todos ustedes al prepararse a regresar a la escuela. Al poner pie en la escuela y al entrar al salón de clase o cuando entrés al patio de recreo o cancha de deportes que lleves la “presencia viva” de Jesús a los demás. Que tú seas el mejor reflejo de un estudiante centrado en Cristo. Deja que el Espíritu Santo te guie. Sigue a Jesús como un buen discípulo e invoca a tu Santísima Madre, Nuestra Señora, para que te proteja. A todos ustedes: desde Kínder hasta la clase que se gradúa en 2019-2020 y a ustedes nuestros estudiantes en el Colegio o Universidad que Dios esté con ustedes al comprometerse a la oración y a la Sagrada Eucaristía en este nuevo año escolar. En la Paz de Cristo, Obispo Cotta † MISA CON UNCIÓN CADA PRIMER VIERNES DEL MES Padre Raju tendra Misa con Unción cada primer viernes del mes para los que necesitan sanación física, emocional o espiritual a las 8:00 de la mañana en la Capilla de los Santos Ángeles.
