Communion Service

My dear Parishioners,

Like every other parish and mission in the Archdiocese, St. Paul

of the Cross has been caught up in the overall development of a

Pastoral Plan for the Archdiocese. During the past several weeks

you were invited to join a small discussion group to consider one

of the four multi-dimensional issues selected by the Archbishop

as major concerns resulting from a survey taken throughout the

Archdiocese earlier this year. A health number of you responded

and met in the group of your choice during the week of July 13th.

At the same time, a large number of our Hispanic parishioners,

assisted by Fr. Alberto and a staff member of the Archdiocesan

Office for Hispanic Ministry, went through the same process.

The results of all your discussions as well as several individual

responses were then submitted to me. Last week, Faye Smith,

who had kindly coordinated the discussion process, and I

compiled the responses and submitted them to the Archdiocesan

Office of Planning and Research.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who participated in any way in

this important stage in the development of our Archdiocesan

Pastoral Plan. You were intensely engaged in serious work

which resulted in thoughtful recommendations about the future

faith life of this growing Archdiocese. Thank you! I want to

thank in a special way Fr. Alberto, who organized the Hispanic

response, Faye Smith, coordinator, and Kim Patton Johnson,

chair of our Pastoral Council, as well as our discussion leaders:

Frances Ellison-Dansby and Bonnie Gissendanner, Lynda Ryan

and Larry Ruder, Henrietta Jones and Walter Longino, and

Corinthia Hayes and Uche Anikpe. Well done! May God bless

abundantly everyone who shared in St. Paul of the Cross’s

contribution to this phase of the Archdiocesan planning process.

Fr. Jerome, C.P.

Mis hermanos, las lecturas de la Misa de hoy nos sugieren

dos ideas para reflexionar. Estas son:

- El ejemplo de Jesús.

- Jesús atiende a la gente.

Jesús buscaba tranquilidad y soledad .

El evangelio de este domingo comienza diciéndonos que

Jesús "se marchó a un sitio tranquilo y apartado". Despues

de haber Estado predicando y anunciando el reino de Dios

por medio de parábolas, Jesús cambia de actividad. Desea

tener un tiempo de paz, de soledad. Seguramente quería

orar, pasar un tiempo de intimidad con el Padre, como se

nos dice en otros pasajes evangelicos. Con este testimonio

nos sugiere que es importante en nuestra vida diaria, tener

espacio de soledad, de reflexión de intimidad con Dios.

Muchas veces nosotros vivimos inmersos en actividades,

todo el dia ocupado con una cosa u otra. Sin embargo, es

necesario un tiempo de sosiego, un espacio para la oración

que nos relacione con Dios y "cargue nuestras pilas’’. Hay

que alimentar la vida espiritual. La Eucaristia dominical es

uno de los momentos que tenemos, pero eso no basta.

Debemos buscar espacio de oración personal y esto nos

ayudará a crecer en la vida espiritual. Y lograr una madurez

espiritual y humana.

. Jesús atiende al gentío

Jesús, viendo la gente que se había congregado

esperándole a la orilla del lago, sintió lástima de ellos. y los

atiende, entregándose con gran caridad pastoral. Ios

discípulos prefieren despedir a la gente para que se

marcharan a las aldeas y comieran. Pero Jesús hace todo lo

contrario: el mismo los atiende dándoles de comer.

Así nos ofrece un modelo a seguír en nuestra parroquia y en

nuestras activídades pastorales. El valora con ello, lo que

significa la 'dignidad de la persona?

humana'.lndependientemente de las personas,

independientemente de los medios, nuestra actitud debe

ser la misma que el tenia para con sus seguidores: mirarles

con la misma mirada de Jesús y actuar como Jesús actuaria,

con una entrega total. Jesús nos dice hoy también a

nosotros:, Dadles vosotros de comer.

Hermanos, asumamos con fe este desafío que nos hace

Jesús hoy.
