Scriptural Reflections on Stewardship

The Lord has revealed his saving power to all the nations! Naaman, a Syrian, is healed, and lepers

are made whole, but only the Samaritan returns to give thanks. Let us remain steadfast in faith, and thankful for the Lord’s blessings.

Every Tuesday, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in

the church from 3 to 4 p.m. It is an hour of prayer for the priests, reli-gious men and women and an increase of vo-cations to the priesthood and the religious life of the Church. We invite you to come and spend time with the Lord for these intentions and for your personal requests. Holy

Hour closes with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.

GRUPO DE ORACION Te invita a que nos unamos en oración por cada una de tus necesidades. Seremos una gran familia en nuestros encuentros se-manales parroquiales. Iglesia Sta Ana, Martes 7:00 de la noche !añanos!.

ADORACION AL SANTISIMO Cada Martes de 3 a 4 de la tarde, en

la Iglesia.. Venid y Adorad!

La Iglesia a dedicado un mes, el mes de Octubre, para honrar a María con el rezo del Santo Rosario. Rezar el Rosario es como llevar diez flores a María en cada misterio. Es una manera de repetirle muchas veces lo mucho que la queremos. El amor y la piedad no se cansan nunca de repetir con frecuencia las mismas palabras, porque siempre contienen algo nuevo. Si lo rezamos todos los días, la Virgen nos llenará de gracias

y nos ayudará a llegar al Cielo. María intercede por nosotros sus hijos y no nos deja de premiar con su ayuda. Al rezarlo, recordamos con la mente y el corazón los misterios de la vida de Jesús y los misterios de la conducta admirable de María. Nos metemos en las escenas evangélicas: Belén, Nazaret, Jerusalén, el huerto de los Olivos, el Calvario, María al pie de la cruz, Cristo resucitado, el Cielo, todo esto pasa por nuestra mente mientras nuestros labios oran. El Rosario es una verdadera fuente de gracias. María es medianera de las gracias de Dios. Dios ha querido que muchas gracias nos lleguen por su conducto, ya que fue por ella que nos llegó la sal-vación.

Para contar como miembro de la parroquia, no solo debes asistir a misa, sino también estar registrado, y utilizar los sobres que se te envian para la colecta. Las planillas estan disponibles en el vestibulo de la Iglesia a la salida de la misa. Si necesitas ayuda, representantes del grupo Nuestra Sra. de Guadalupe estan dispon-ibles para ayudarte. Bienvenido a tu parroquia de Santa Ana!!

MISA DE SANACION El sábado 23 de Octubre, 2010 en el Centen-nial Hall a las 2:00 de la tarde. Una ocasion especial para entregar tus problemas fisicos y mentales al Señor. La misa sera en ingles, pero para el Señor no hay idiomas. Ven acompañanos...te esperamos!!

Coro Estamos reorganizando nuestro coro, Si te gusta cantar, o sabes tocar algun instru-mento, nuestro coro te necisita. Por favor acercate a la Sra. Rosa para más informa-ción. Recuerda, cantar es orar dos veces.

Evangelization Corner…… Reflecting On The Gospel - In today’s Gospel, we meet a truly grateful man. A person who suffers with the dis-ease of leprosy, a person who Jesus cares. This man was a castaway from his family and out of society, understands what many God’s people do not under-stand; miracles are from God who heals the human spirit as well as human body. The Gospel says that this man returned glorifying God and that he fell at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him for curing him.

Sharing Ideas - Share a time when someone did something wonderful to you? How did you express your gratitude to that person? How did you praise the goodness of God?
