And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well; he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.” (Mk 7: 37)
From the Pastor‘s Desk
Dear brothers and sisters,
“He has done everything well”. That is a very powerful statement. The people after seen the healing not only saw that God has done all things good but also well. You could say isn’t it the same? I answer not at all. God has created all things to have a goodness in them- selves because they are created by Him and willed by Him. Which means that you, your sibling, your parents, me, all of us were creat- ed with a goodness in us that pulls us back to God. For this reason, St. Augustine said “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you oh Lord!” The only way for us to achieve the happiness and peace is to be in God or with God the source of goodness. Here comes the second word – well. It is not only that God has made us good but that He has done everything well. The people are saying that God did not make a mistake with what He has done with us. That means that our life, our history, our being is done well. Thus, to be able to see both things that God made us good and well, we need the help of the Holy Spirit that constantly witnesses to us that God is on our side and helping us every step of the way.
I hope after the storm of last week, all are doing fine, the basement of the rectory got flooded, and we are working to remediate.
Please be careful in this time. Remember that
our End of Summer Parish BBQ is on September 12 from 1 to 5 pm. We will be selling our Thanksgiving 50/50 Raffle during the BBQ.
Keep safe and have a good return to school. Please take a bulletin for more information.
Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
“Lo ha hecho todo bien”. Esa es una declaración muy poderosa. La gente después de haber visto la curación no solo vio que Dios ha hecho todas las cosas bien, sino también bien. Se podría decir ¿no es lo mismo? No respondo en absoluto. Dios ha creado todas las cosas para que tengan bondad en sí mismas porque fueron creadas por Él y queridas por Él. Lo que significa que tú, tu hermano, tus padres, yo, todos fuimos creados con una bondad en nosotros que nos lleva de regreso a Dios. Por eso San Agustín dijo: “¡Nuestros corazones están inquietos hasta que descansen en ti, oh Señor!”. La única forma de alcanzar la felicidad y la paz es estar en Dios o con Dios, la fuente de la bondad. Aquí viene la segunda palabra, bueno. No es solo que Dios nos ha hecho buenos, sino que lo ha hecho todo bien. La gente dice que Dios no se equivocó con lo que hizo con nosotros. Eso significa que nuestra vida, nuestra historia, nuestro ser está bien hecho. Por lo tanto, para poder ver las dos cosas que Dios nos hizo buenos y buenos, necesitamos la ayuda del Espíritu Santo que constantemente nos testifica que Dios está de nuestro lado y nos ayuda en cada paso del camino.
Espero que después de la tormenta de la semana pasada, todos estén bien, el sótano de la rectoría se inundó y estamos trabajando para remediarlo. Tenga cuidado en este momento. Recuérdalo
nuestra barbacoa de fin de verano en la parroquia es el 12 de septiembre de 1 a 5 pm. Venderemos nuestra rifa de Acción de Gracias 50/50 durante la barbacoa. Téngan un seguro y buen regreso a la escuela. Por favor, tome un boletín para obtener más información.
¡San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!
Caros irmãos e irmãs
“Ele fez tudo bem”. Essa é uma declaração muito poderosa. As pessoas depois de verem a cura não só viram que Deus fez todas as coisas boas, mas também bem. Você poderia dizer que não é a mesma coisa? Eu não respondo de forma alguma. Deus criou todas as coisas para terem bondade em si mesmas, porque foram criadas por Ele e desejadas por Ele. O que significa que você, seu irmão, seus pais, eu, todos nós fomos criados com uma bondade em nós que nos puxa de volta para Deus. Por esta razão, Santo Agostinho disse:
“Nossos corações estão inquietos até que descansem em Ti, Senhor!” A única maneira de alcançarmos a felicidade e a paz é estar em Deus ou com Deus a fonte da bondade. Aí vem a segunda palavra - bem. Não é só que Deus nos fez bons, mas também fez tudo bem.
As pessoas estão dizendo que Deus não se enganou com o que fez conosco. Isso significa que nossa vida, nossa história, nosso ser estão bem-feito. Assim, para podermos ver as coisas que Deus nos tornou bons e bons, precisamos da ajuda do Espírito Santo que constantemente nos dá testemunho de que Deus está ao nosso lado e nos ajudando a cada passo do caminho.
Espero que depois da tempestade da semana passada, tudo esteja bem, o porão da reitoria tenha inundado e estejamos trabalhando para remediar. Por favor, tome cuidado neste momento. Lembre-se disso
nosso churrasco na paróquia de fim de verão acontece no dia 12 de setembro, das 13h às 17h. Venderemos nossa rifa 50/50 de Ação de Graças durante o churrasco. Tenham um bom retorno à escola em segurança. Por favor, leve um boletim para mais informações.
São Francisco de Sales ora por nós!
