19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea." The disciples weren't prepared to see Jesus walking on water. They had already witnessed plenty of miracles at the hands of their teacher; only hours earlier he had been curing the sick, and had multiplied five loaves of bread and two fish into enough food to feed thousands. But this miracle was different. This one wasn't to heal anyone or provide for anyone. This miracle seemed more like a manifestation: a clear revelation of Jesus' divine power. But the disciples were slow to get the message. First, they thought they saw a ghost. Then, Peter tried to step out in faith, but he fell when the wind picked up. It wasn't until the storm ended and the disciples were safe that they made their profession of faith, "Truly, you are the Son of God."
Healings, miracles, and manifestations of divinity weren't quite enough to make these men believe. The disciples' faith seems to have been dependent upon the personal experience of being saved. To this point, the mighty signs and works of Christ had been done on behalf of others. They were wondrous to behold, but apparently not enough to elicit a full declaration of faith in Jesus. But when these frightened men had their fears relieved, then they were ready to believe.
This is what Jesus wants to do for every one of us. He became man to save us. He died on the cross to take away our fears, to forgive our sins, and to give us eternal life. These aren't just stories about someone else's life. This is the story of our life. Like Peter, Jesus says to us, "Come." May we respond with confidence, putting our trust in the One who has the power to calm the storms in our lives too.
Exodus Catholic Bible Study This ten week study of the book of Exodus examines a central event of the Old Testament: God’s call to Moses to be the prophet through whom He will lead the people of Egypt out of slavery to freedom. This beautiful story is full of struggles as the people grapple with learning what it means to be faithful to God in the wilderness. We will recount how God was seeking to make a covenant with them and how the Ten Commandments formed the ethical core of that covenant.

August is the Month of the Blessed Sacrament
The most beautiful things happen when we come to adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Many saints adored the Blessed Sacrament with such devotion that they were consumed by Christ’s love and mercy until the end. Saint Therese of Lisieux was so in love with the Blessed Sacrament adoration that she wrote many amazing things about God’s presence in the Holy Sacrament. A great example of this is this beautiful quote she wrote: “O Jesus! on this day, you have fulfilled all my desires. From now on, near the Eucharist, I shall be able to sacrifice myself in silence, to wait for Heaven in peace. Keeping myself open to the rays of the Divine Host. In this furnace of love, I shall be consumed, and like a seraphim, Lord, I shall love You.” In this month of the Blessed Sacrament, lets ask God to help us get consumed by Him in the Blessed Sacrament.

Parroquia San Luis de Gonzaga
19º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La escena de este Evangelio viene después de la que escuchamos el domingo pasado. Los pobres y los enfermos se reúnen en torno a Jesús. Escuchan, comen, son sanados y regresan a su respectiva misión, tal como nosotros ahora lo hacemos al asistir a la Eucaristía dominical: nos reunimos alrededor de la mesa, escuchamos su Palabra, nos alimentamos con su Cuerpo y Sangre y después salimos enviados a compartir la buena nueva con los demás. ¡Dar a conocer a Jesús es nuestra misión! Mateo nos ayuda a contemplar la humanidad y divinidad de Jesús. De igual manera, responde a las preguntas que la comunidad se hace de Jesús: ¿acaso no es éste el hijo del carpintero? Sí, sí lo es. Pero tiene también todas las características que según el Antiguo Testamento solo Dios posee. Casi todos pensamos que los problemas son malos y por lo tanto gastamos parte de nuestra vida tratando de resolverlos. En las lecturas de hoy tenemos a tres personajes cercanos a Dios que tuvieron serios problemas. El profeta Elías tiene dificultades con la reina Jezabel por cambiar el culto de Baal. Pero Dios no abandona a Elías en esta dificultad. San Pablo siente una gran tristeza porque los judíos no han reconocido a Jesús como el Mesías. Su corazón sufre porque ama a su pueblo. San Pedro tiene miedo ante la tempestad y pide a Jesús que le dé la mano al sentir que se hunde cuando camina sobre las aguas. Los tres tienen serios problemas. Pero si analizamos bien estas circunstancias, notamos que todos ellos, y mediante sus problemas, contribuyeron a mejorar su relación con Dios. A ellos y a nosotros Jesús nos dice: "Tranquilícense y no teman. Soy yo". ¿Cómo es mi relación con Dios?

Nuestras enfermeras parroquiales están aquí para promover el bienestar, la salud, la curación y la integridad del cuerpo, mente y espíritu. Podemos ayudarle a controlar su presión arterial, ofrecer apoyo en la toma de decisiones sobre la atención sanitaria, y la presencia social, el conocimiento y la oración.
Programa de Formación Religiosa Los fines de semana de inscripción para el programa de formación de fe, incluyendo EDGE y Lifeteen, serán en agosto 9/10 (éste fin de semana) y septiembre 13/14. Durante esos fines de semana tendremos personas disponibles para registrar a los niños después de cada misa. También tendremos registraciones disponibles en la oficina parroquial , a partir de agosto.
Si usted está interesado en ayudar en nuestros programas de formación de fe en el futuro, puede contactar a Amy Buckmire a la oficina parroquial para más información. ¡Que Dios los siga bendiciendo a todos y que disfruten de sus vacaciones de verano!
Corpus Christi Food Pantry y Asistencia
El regreso a la escuela ya casi está aquí y el Corpus Christi Pantry y Asistencia está haciendo los preparativos para ayudar a tantas familias como nos sea posible proporcionándoles a los niños (entre las edades de 5-18) con calcetines nuevos y ropa interior. Los artículos se distribuirán a finales de agosto. Si usted desea ayudar, puede traer artículos directamente a la despensa de alimentos en 43 Franklin St. antes del 6 de agosto o puede colocarlos en la caja verde grande en la iglesia designada para artículos que serán llevados a Corpus Christi. Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor llame al 598-1641. Gracias por su ayuda!
