My dear Parishioners,

This Sunday we take time to honor six couples of our parish

who are celebrating significant wedding anniversaries dur-

ing this year of 2017. It is not only fitting, it is right and just

that we do so certainly for them but also for the rest of us.

Together, these six couples—Louise and Benjamin Lynch,

sixty years married; Miriam and James Stokes, fifty-five

years, Faye and Gerald Merriweather, forty years; Felicia

and Thomas Donald, thirty-five years; Bernestine and Mer-

lin Todd, twenty-five years; and Elena and James Fowlkes,

ten years—have contributed 225 years of commitment to

one another, to their God, and to all of us. This is no small

offering in the world in which we live today and in a Church

that exists simply because of its own covenant relationship

with its God. Christian marriage is a most sacred sign of

God’s relationship with his people and of Christ’s relation-

ship with the Church. A powerful reminder of Divine love!

bv

The witness of day-in-and-day-out living of couples

through thick and thin, or, as the marriage consent states so

beautifully and powerfully, “...in good times and in bad, in

sickness and health, to love you and honor you all the days

of my life,” strengthens and encourages all of us to remain

faithful to our God and to one another whatever our voca-

tion in life. May God grant our celebrating couples many

more years of life together in peace and joy and love!

Queridos hermanos, Jesús siempre sale al paso de los sufrientes, les muestra su miseri-

cordia y les da salvación. Al venir andando sobre el mar, símbolo

del mal y de la muerte, nos recuerda que nuestros mayores enemigos

han sido vencidos por el en su Resurrección. La palabra alentadora

de Jesús diluye nuestros temores: ¡Animo, soy yo, no tengáis miedo!

Pero quiere Jesús también que nosotros seamos protagonistas en la

batalla contra el miedo y, por eso, va a probar de dos modos

nuestra audacia. En primer lugar, como Elías, nos pide salir de las cuevas en las que

nos hemos refugiado por nuestras desconfianzas. El miedo, nos hace

encerrarnos, vivir aislados, haciéndonos olvidar que la felicidad a la

que estamos llamados se encuentra afuera, en la vida junto a los

otros. La falta de fe nos encierra en el individualismo, en la búsque-

da de lo placentero, en el entretenimiento...Jesús nos provoca: ¡Sal! En segundo lugar, como a Pedro, nos pide ir hacia el caminando

sobre las aguas y dejando atrás la frágil seguridad de la barca.

Como discípulos estamos llamados a ir hacia Jesús por los caminos,

a veces, inseguros y movedizos de la vida. Se nos pide ser conscien-

tes de nuestra fe escasa y frágil que cualquier viento que sople en

contra puede hacer desdibujarse y causar nuestro hundimiento,

pero hemos de tener la absoluta certeza de la mano siempre tendida

de Jesús para mantenernos a flote. Cuando salimos de nuestras cuevas y caminamos hacia Jesús siendo

conscientes de nuestras debilidades y de su fidelidad, nuestros

temores se van disipando y brota con fuerza la confianza.

P. Patricio, C.P.

Atención… atención: Arrancamos con la Campaña Capital los días

19 y 20 de agosto. El tema es muy bonito y apropiado para noso-

tros, “Nuestra Familia, Nuestra Fe , Nuestro Futuro” . Habrá una

breve presentación al final de cada misa.

El barco es un símbolo de la iglesia. Es llamado el barco de Pedro y

todos estamos en el barco con Jesús. Aquí podemos decir que

somos el barco de San Pablo de la Cruz. Juntos tenemos que navegar

este barco. Muchas gracias por todo lo que hace por San Pablo de

la Cruz.

P. Patricio, C.P.
