Reflecting on God’s Word..Prayer has always been part of the Christian heritage. The book of Psalms long ago be-came the prayer book of the church, along with some hymns and canticles from the Bible, both Old and New Testaments. Among the most beautiful prayers we have are the Magnificat of Mary, the Benedictus of Zechariah, and the Nunc Dimittis of Simeon, all in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 1:46–55; 1:68–79; 2:29–32). Most importantly, Jesus prayed. Jesus, the Son of God, the Word made flesh, the only begotten Son, prayed. We know that he went off by himself to pray. He did this before some of the most important moments in his ministry, like before he chose those who would be with him. When one of the disciples asked him to teach them to pray and Jesus responded with the Our Father, it deserves our attention. This prayer reveals the heart of Jesus, and tells us how we should speak to the Father. The prayer has two parts: blessing the Father and calling for his presence in the world, then turning to God for our basic needs of food, for-giveness, and fidelity. The parables that follow call us to perse-vere and persist in prayer because God is a Father who will give us his life-blood, in this case, the Holy Spirit, to all who ask. Continue to knock, continue to ask. God will respond.—James A. Wallace, SS.R. COPpyright © 2012, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios... La oración ha sido siempre parte de la herencia cristiana. El salterio hace mucho tiempo que es el libro de oración de la Iglesia junto con algunos himnos y cánticos, que provienen de la Biblia, tanto del Antiguo como del Nuevo Testamento. Entre las oraciones más hermosas que tene-mos se encuentra el Magnificat de María, el Benedictus de Zacarías y el Nunc Dimittis de Simeón, todos en el Evangelio de Lucas (Lucas 1:46–55; 1:68–79; 2:29–32). Lo más importante es que Jesús oró. Jesús, el Hijo de Dios, la Palabra hecha carne, Hijo único del Padre, oró. Sabe-mos que se retiró a orar solo. Así lo hizo antes de los momentos más im-portantes de su ministerio, como cuando fue a escoger a los que estarían más cerca de él. Por eso merece nuestra atención que, cuando uno de los discípulos le pidió que los enseñaran a orar, Jesús respondió con el Pa-drenuestro. Esta oración revela el corazón de Jesús y nos dice cómo debe-mos hablar con el Padre. La oración consta de dos partes: la primera bendice al Padre y le pide su presencia en el mundo, la segunda suplica a Dios por nuestras necesidades básicas de alimento, perdón y fidelidad. Las parábolas que le siguen nos exhortan a perseverar y persistir en nues-tra oración, porque Dios es un Padre que nos dará lo más vital, o sea, su Espíritu Santo a todos los que lo pidan. Continúa llamando, continúa pidiendo. Dios te responderá.—James A. Wallace, C.SS.R. Derechos de autor © 2012, World Library Publications. Todos los derechos reservados.

Stewardship Reflections~ 16th Sunday in Ordi-nary Time: July 28~“Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.” Luke 12:15 The Gospel message today is so con-trary to our modern culture where advertising continually tries to convince us that our value lies in the things we possess. Jesus showed us that our true value lies in the way we live our lives. He challenges us to not store up or hoard material pos-sessions, but rather to live a grateful and generous lifestyle. Boletín de Mayordomía Reflexiones: 17º domin-go de tiempo ordinario : 28de julio ~“Cuídense de la abundancia, la vida de un hombre no está asegurada por sus riquezas.” Lucas 12:15 El mensaje del Evangelio hoy es muy contraria a nuestra cultura moderna, donde la publicidad in-tenta constantemente de convencernos de que nuestro valor está en las cosas que poseemos. Jesús nos mostró que nuestro valor real está en la forma en que vivimos nuestras vidas. Él nos desafía a que no almacenemos o acumulemos posesiones ma-teriales, si no que vivamos una vida agradecida y generosa. Dick Penning; Stewardship Ministry; 832-260-6010

Vacation Bible School Thanks!!! We just completed a mooooving week of Vacation Bi-ble School out on the farm and have many folks to thank for its success. Our Youth Group spent many, many hours planning, decorating, and participating in the week of fun. We also had invaluable help with the adults who did Bible Stories, snacks, and crafts. A barn full of thanks to our crew leaders, our games leaders, and our generic helpers who helped with any-thing and everything. It takes sooooooooo much work to have the wonderful week we enjoyed, and we are extremely grateful to those of you who gave it your all. Thanks, also, to the 99 “farmers” who attended. You guys and gals were a terrific group! Remember, Jesus is our number one friend. Yee haw! Keep on cluckin’. Miss Rebecca and Miss Connie

Business Updates from the Desk of Michele Gunn As I write this article, we are preparing for our new Pastor. As you read this, our new Pastor has already arrived!

Our Parish Bazaar is quickly approaching. Please note that the deadline for T-shirt design is this Wednesday, July 31. Please see the flyer for ways you can help out. If you are unsure how best to help, but feel a calling to help at the Bazaar, please send an email to bazaar@sacredheartmanvel.org and supply your contact information. Our Parish, though continuously growing, has a small staff. We are very grateful for our volunteers that give of their time and talent. If at any time you feel called to give of a particular talent, please contact me so we can find your place! Remember that God calls people that HE knows can fulfill HIS plan. Sometimes this puts us out of our comfort zone, but we still need you! We are still looking for people who are available to assist in counting money on Mondays. If you would like to be considered for this important ministry, please send me your contact information by phone, email or drop a note in the collection. If you have already contacted me, thank you and I still have your information. We would like to have a training for everyone in-volved in this ministry. … ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’ Mt 25:21-22

Informes sobre el negocio de la parroquia del escritorio de Michele Gunn Al escribir esta nota, esperamos la llegada de nuestro nuevo párraco, pero al leer esta publicación ya le damos la bienvenida al Padre Thomas Ponzini. Las últimas semanas, han sido hécticas en la oficina parroquial, especialmente con todos los even-tos para los padres, la Escuela Bíblica de Vacaciones, la Conferencia Arquidóisesis para Jóvenes, junto con las ocurrencias diarias de los negocios y ministerios parroquiales. Nuestro Festival de Otoño se aproxima. No se les olvide que el último día de sometir su diseño para las camisas representado nuestro Festival 2013 sera el miércoles 31 de Julio. Por favor de someter su diseño a la oficina parroquial. El domingo pasa-do un volante fué incluido en el boletín dominical dándoles detalles con maneras que puedan apoyar nuestro Festival de Oto-ño. Si desean ayudar o ser voluntario, mándenos un mensaje electrónico con su información de contacto al ba-zaar@sacredheartmanvel.org. La parroquia del Sagrado Corazón sigue creciendo con familias nuevas pero el personal o directivo parroquial se encuentra pequeño en cantidad. Agradecemos mucho a todos nuestros voluntarios que generosamente dan de su tiempo y talento. Si siente que Dios le ha llamado para contribuir de su talento y tiempo, por favor comuniquese conmigo. Recuerden que Dios llama a los que El sabe que llevaran acabo Su plan. Asi pues, siempre hay la necesidad de tener voluntarios que desean ayudar la iglesia. Todavía buscamos voluntarios para asistir con el recuento de la colecta dominical los lunes por la mañana. Si le interesa y desea ser considerada para este importante ministerio, favor de mandarme su información de contacto ya sea por teléfono, email, o póngala en la canasta de la colecta dominical. Tendremos un taller de entrenamiento para todos los participantes de este ministerio. …’Muy bien, eres un empleado bueno y fiel; ya que fuiste fiel en lo poco, te pondré a cargo de mucho más. En-tra y alégrate conmigo.’ Mt 25:21-22
