We Minister as Servants of Christ Lord Teach Me To Pray In the weeks to come, we will begin the Stewardship of Ministry/Service. As we prayerfully consider our personal involvement in parish ministries and service, we will revisit the Gospel of St. Matthew and a familiar image. In the story of Christ’s sending of His Twelve Apostles, we will discover revealing brushstrokes evident on our contemporary canvas still. Called by Christ to serve other, the disciples were equipped to do much as their Savior had been doing. Today, we extend a fruitful Catholic call through the many ministries that originate in our parish – each a work of faith, everyone a labor of love. As we look to individual commitments, please begin to think and pray about your involvement. Lord Teach Me to Pray is a three-part prayer series for women and men based on Ignatian Spirituality. A women’s group on Part I "Praying Christian Virtues", (12-week program) starts at St. Clement in the Parish Center on Thursday, September 15, 2016. "Praying Christian Virtues" helps to deepen prayer life, and discover what to do for dryness and obstacles in prayer. The group will use St. Ignatius' methods of meditation and contemplation. Small groups of women will meet with their facilitators for 2 hours, once a week. To register please visit lordteachmetopray.com or call Stephanie Newell at 504-909-2010. Women's Group Part 1 (12 weeks): Thursdays 9:00 -11:00 Parish Center (enter through side door) September 15th through December 8th. THANKS TO ALL WHO DONATED !!!!!!! DONATIONS COLLECTED BY ST.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia “Si alguno quiere seguirme y. . . prefiere. . . más a su padre y a su madre, a su esposa y a sus hijos, a sus hermanos, . . . más aún a sí mismo” (Lucas 14:26). ¿Qué es lo que estamos prefiriendo en este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia? Esta frase de Jesús es una exageración que nos estremece para enfrentar desafíos que cambian la vida. Enfrentando un conflicto ante quien ser leal, los discípulos deben reordenar sus prioridades, aún sus relaciones, para poner en primer lugar a Jesús y al Evangelio. La segunda lectura presenta un ejemplo de la vida real. Pablo desafía a un rico recién converso al cristianismo, Filemón, a recibir nuevamente a Onésimo no como su esclavo y además fugitivo que era sino como hermano en Cristo. Además de pedirle que le otorgue la libertad y que deje de tener la posición de esclavo, le pide que lo acepte como un hombre libre y más aún como hermano en Cristo. ¿En este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia a qué estamos siendo desafiados por ser discípulos de Jesús? —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.
