violent struggles in Sudan, but other countries as well suffer there from persecution, drought and survival

July 19, 2015 Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Parishioners and Friends:
Queridos Feligreses y Amigos:
[Things got so hectic that Jesus and his disciples didn’t even have time to eat. So] Jesus said to
them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place
and rest a while.”
[Mark 6: 31-32]
Jesus looks after us and wants us to make time to
rest and recover, to reflect and discover the goodness of
God that we are swimming in but often miss. So like
the Good Shepherd, good parents and leaders do that,
even when they are deprived of rest themselves, and
they give even more in order to share the Gospel with
those entrusted to their care.
Like Jesus we are called to shepherd: to care,
heal, listen and teach. But we must follow him with
sufficient rest lest we become overwhelmed by the unending needs of others, so that we find a holy rhythm
in our lives of rest and work, prayer and action. Too
much rest can lull us into being uncaring shepherds.
Have you found your balance rhythm in your own mission?
Question for the week: What do you need to fulfill
your mission at this time of your life? What do you
want? Can you, do you, tell God what you want and
what you need?
[Las cosas se volvieron tan frenéticas que Jesús y
sus discípulos no tenían tiempo ni para comer. Así que ]
Jesús les dijo, “Vengan vamos aparte solo nosotros a un
lugar solitario a descansar un poco.” [Marcos 6: 31-32]
Jesús mira por nosotros y quiere que hagamos
tiempo para descansar y recobrarnos, para reflexionar y
descubrir la grandeza de Dios en la que estamos nadando
pero que a menudo no vemos. Así que como El Buen
Pastor, buenos padres o lideres hacen, aun cuando están
faltos de descanso ellos mismos, y dan todavía más para
compartir el Evangelio con esos a los que quieren.
Como Jesús estamos llamados a pastorear: a cuidar, a sanar, a escuchar y a enseñar. Pero debemos seguirlo con suficiente descanso para no quedar abrumados
por las necesidades sin fin de otros, para que encontremos un ritmo sagrado en nuestras vidas de descanso y
trabajo y acción. Demasiado descanso nos lleva a ser
pastores indiferentes. ¿Han ustedes encontrado un ritmo
balanceado en su misión?
Pregunta de la semana: ¿Que necesitas par a llevar a
cabo tu misión en este momento de tu vida? ¿Qué quieres? ¿Puedes, debes, decirle a Dios lo que quieres y lo
que necesitas?
Your Pastor, Fr.Bob
Su Pastor, P.
