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 - September 9
Dear Parishioners,
Today’s readings remind us that if sin is messy, being redeemed involves some messiness and discomfort too. It’s through material realities that we fell, so it’s logical that Our Lord should establish material ways to redeem us, like the sacraments. In today’s 1st Reading Isaiah describes a fallen world, crippled and thirsting for relief because of sin and its aftermath. The effects of sin go beyond those who committed them; they cripple and wound us all. As Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden the Lord told them a consequence of their sin would be the need to eke out an existence; instead if a plentiful garden, the world had become a hostile wilderness and desert. Neither did they face a wild after the Fall world with all the strength they had before, sin wounded them and crippled them. The sign of the crippled healed and the lands bounteous once again were all signs of a Redemption to come in Christ. In today’s 2nd reading St. James reminds us that the vindication, understood as justice, and recompense describe by Isaiah would be an ongoing process that even believers after Baptism would have to remember. Dignity is not superficial. Many times it is not fashionable or stylish. Through Baptism everyone in the Church, rich or poor, has the dignity of being our brother or sister in Christ. Our Lord came to restore a dignity lost by sin, and as believers, we strive to acknowledge that dignity in everyone, rich or poor, healthy or sick, baptized or not.
In today’s 1st reading we are reminded that the Lord wants to heal us from our infirmities, but it’s likely that the Israelites never imagined Our Lord would want to come personally and do so. God wants to touch us and heal us; we see that in today’s Gospel. By modern standards, it may seem distasteful that saliva is involved, but when we consider that every time we celebrate the Eucharist, we are receiving Jesus’ body and blood, it’s not much of a stretch. God assumed human nature because he wanted to touch us and heal us through human nature. God still wants to touch us and heal us. Today he does so through the sacraments. In each sacrament, there are certain materials, certain expressions, certain dispositions of heart through which Our Lord reaches out and touches us and heals us or strengthens us. When we receive him in Holy Communion, we touch God, who comes into our hearts and makes us more like him after he decided, out of sheer goodness, to assume a human nature and become like us. Let’s be thankful in having received the Eucharist today that Our Lord wants to be close to us, wants to touch us. And let’s examine how our sacramental life is going: Mass, confession, etc. so that it touches us and helps us to change for the better. -
Carta De Nuestro Párroco - 9 de Septiembre
Queridos Parroquianos,Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan que si el pecado es desordenado, ser redimidos implica algún desorden y malestar también. Es a través de realidades materiales que nos caímos, así que es lógico que nuestro Señor debe establecer formas materiales para redimirnos, como los sacramentos. En 1 º lectura de hoy Isaías describe un mundo caído, lisiado y sediento de alivio a causa del pecado y sus consecuencias. Los efectos del pecado van más allá de aquellos que los cometieron; paraliza y hiere a todos nosotros. Como Adán y Eva somos echados del jardín el Señor les dijo que a consecuencia de su pecado habría la necesidad de expulsarlos del abundante jardín, en lugar de un hermoso jardín el mundo se ha convertido en un desierto hostil y salvaje. Tampoco afrontan con toda la fuerza que tenían antes, el pecado los daño y mutilo. El signo de los mancos sanados, y las tierras abundantes fueron una vez más todas señales de una redención por venir en Cristo. Hoy en el 2 º lectura de. Santiago nos recuerda que es una justificación, entendida como justicia y recompensa descrita por Isaías sería un proceso continuo que incluso los creyentes después de bautismo tendrían que recordar. La dignidad no es superficial. Muchas veces no es la moda o la elegancia. Por el bautismo todos en la iglesia, rica o pobre, tienen la dignidad de ser nuestro hermano o hermana en Cristo. Nuestro Señor vino a restaurar esa dignidad perdida por el pecado y como creyentes, nos esforzamos por reconocer esa dignidad en todo el mundo, ricos o pobres, sanos o enfermos, bautizaron o no.
Hoy en 1 º lectura nos recuerdas que el Señor quiere sanarnos de nuestras enfermedades, pero es probable que los israelitas nunca imaginaban que nuestro Señor querría venir personalmente y hacerlo. Dios quiere tocarnos y sanarnos; vemos que en el Evangelio de hoy. Por estándares modernos, parece ofensivo que la saliva está implicada, pero si tenemos en cuenta cada vez que celebramos la Eucaristía, estamos recibiendo sangre y cuerpo de Jesús, no es mucho de un estiramiento. Dios asume la naturaleza humana quería a tocarnos y sanarnos a través de la naturaleza humana. Dios todavía quiere tocarnos y sanarnos. Hoy lo hace a través de los sacramentos. En cada Sacramento, hay ciertos materiales, ciertas expresiones, ciertas disposiciones del corazón a través de que nuestro Señor llega nos toca nos sana y nos fortalece. Cuando lo recibimos en la Sagrada comunión, tocamos a Dios, que entra en nuestros corazones y nos hace más como él después de que decidió, por pura bondad, asumir una naturaleza humana y ser como nosotros. Vamos a estar agradecidos de haber recibido la Eucaristía de hoy en día que nuestro Señor quiere estar cerca de nosotros, quiere tocarnos. Y vamos a examinar cómo va nuestra vida sacramental: Misa, reconciliación, etc. por lo que nos toca y nos ayuda a cambiar para mejor. -
