HAND IN HAND
Lord of heaven and earth, you gather us as a Community of Faithful, "Hand-in-Hand", to love You, and to serve You, in all things. We thank You. For Your abundant blessings. Give us wisdom, strength, passion, and patience. Guide our every step, Lord. May Your Spirit fill our hearts with generosity and purpose, as we share our time, talent, and treasure. Let all we do, Gracious God, be beautiful in Your sight. May our new Parish Activity Center reflect the love we have for You, and for each other. This we ask, through Christ Jesus, Our Lord. AMEN.

Letter From Our Pastor - July 21, 2019
Jesus reminded us at the Last Supper that he was the vine and we were the branches, so we should always stay united to him in order to bear fruit. His encounter with Mary and Martha in today's Gospel teaches us the same lesson, a lesson that Martha really needed to learn, that what we do for Christ has to flow out of what we are for him: true and devoted friends.
It's so easy to overload our agenda with so much (even good and beneficial things) that we lose sight of our real goal in life: to know, love, and imitate Christ more each day. Only that will give real meaning to our lives, will enable us to help others find meaning, and will fill us with the steadily increasing joy we long for. Jesus isn't saying that we shouldn't do things, serve others, work hard, and honor our commitments. No, Jesus doesn't reprimand Martha for her activity. He reprimands her for being "worried and anxious" about all those activities. She has become so caught up in getting things done, that she has lost sight of why she's doing them. She is like a branch desperately trying to bear fruit by its own power. The result is predictable - frustration, anger, impatience, losing her temper. Unless we are plugged into Christ and his grace, constantly feed our souls with his words, everything we do flows out of our friendship with him - the one thing necessary - none of our actions, even the good ones, can have lasting value. And only lasting value will give peace to our hearts.
We all have probably had the experience of typing away on the computer, and when you press enter, something goes wrong. The screen goes blank, and you lose all your work. Living life without keeping Christ first is just like that - at the end, when we click enter, when we face the last judgment, nothing that we did will matter, because it wasn't done out of love. We weren't online with Christ's friendship while we were doing it.
You may have had the experience of talking away on a cell phone, making your point, and then you finish, and there is no response on the other end. Somehow, in the middle of your conversation, the connection dropped, and nothing you said registered. When we try to make progress in life without depending on Christ, it's like talking into a cell phone that just dropped its connection: a lot of noise, but no lasting communication.
In the past, prisoners of war were sometimes forced to dig huge holes. They would work fourteen hour days under close supervision. Then, when the holes were finally dug, they would be ordered to start filling them in again. This is what life is like when we don't keep Christ first, when we don't "choose the better part". No matter how much activity we engage in, none of it matters. But with that friendship, even the smallest things matter.
May God bless you. Fr. Dan -
Carta De Nuestro Párroco - 21 de Julio, 2019
Jesús nos recuerda en la última cena que él es la vid y nosotros las ramas, por lo que debemos siempre permanecer Unidos a él para dar frutos. Su encuentro con María y Marta en el Evangelio de hoy nos enseña la misma lección, una lección que Martha realmente necesitaba aprender, que lo que hacemos por Cristo ha de fluir de lo que somos para él: amigos verdaderos y dedicados. Es muy fácil sobrecargar nuestra agenda con (cosas incluso buenas y beneficiosas) y luego perdemos de vista nuestro objetivo real en la vida: conocer, amar e imitar a Cristo cada día. Sólo que esto va a dar verdadero sentido a nuestra vida, nos permitirá ayudar a otros a encontrar el significado de su vida y nos llenará de alegría cada vez que lo añoremos. Jesús no nos está diciendo que no debemos hacer las cosas como, servir a los demás, trabajar duro y honrar nuestros compromisos. No, Jesús no reprende a Marta para su actividad. Le reprende por estar "preocupada y ansiosa" sobre todas las actividades. Se ha vuelto tan afanada en hacer las cosas, que ella ha perdido de vista del por qué hace las cosas. Ella es como una rama tratando desesperadamente de dar frutos por su propio poder. El resultado es predecible - frustración, enojo, impaciencia, y perdida de su temperamento. A menos que estemos conectados en Cristo y su gracia, constantemente alimentando nuestras almas con su palabra, todo lo que hacemos fluye fuera de nuestra amistad con él – solo una cosa es necesaria - ninguna de nuestras acciones, incluso las buenas, pueden tener valor duradero. Y sólo el valor duradero le dará paz a nuestro corazón.
Probablemente todos han tenido la experiencia de escribir lejos del ordenador y cuando presiona entrar, algo sale mal. La pantalla queda en blanco, y pierdes todo tu trabajo. Vivir la vida sin poner a Cristo primero es como eso - al final, cuando hagas clic en la entrada, será cuando enfrentamos el juicio final, nada de lo que hayamos hecho importará, si no fue hecho por amor. Si no estábamos en línea con la amistad de Cristo mientras lo estábamos haciendo.
Puedes haber tenido la experiencia de hablar en un teléfono celular, dar tu punto de vista y luego colgar, y no hay ninguna respuesta en el otro lado de la línea. De alguna manera, en medio de tu conversación, la conexión se cayó y nada de lo que dijiste quedo registrado. Al intentar avanzar en la vida sin depender de Cristo, es como hablar en un teléfono celular y se cae la conexión: hay mucho ruido, pero no hay comunicación duradera.
En el pasado, los prisioneros de guerra a veces eran obligados a cavar hoyos enormes. Trabajaban catorce horas bajo estrecha supervisión. Entonces, cuando finalmente cavaban los agujeros, les ordenaban empezar a llenarlos de nuevo. Esto es lo que la vida es cuando no mantenemos a Cristo en primer lugar, cuando no "elegimos la mejor parte". No importa Cuánta actividad realizamos, nada de eso importa. Pero con su amistad, incluso las cosas más pequeñas tienen importancia. -
