Social Justice Ministry Meets the first Tuesday of every month at 7 pm in the Serra Center. Join us to learn what our new projects are, and what you can do to help. Our local Food Bank published a startling statistic recently: one in six SLO County residents (46,000 people) lack access to enough nutritious food for an active healthy life. Their mission of filling that gap has been providing for our community for many years. Food dispersals are not limited by income and are open to anyone who needs help. We all can help through our donations to the Food Bank. They can provide $10 worth of food for every $1 donated. All donations go directly into programming that provides nutritious food to those in need year round. Contribute online at www.slofoodbank.org or mail a donation to Food Bank Coalition, PO Box 2070, Paso Robles, CA 93447. Also, if you have a backyard tree loaded with more fruit than you can use or an over-producing vegetable garden, call 2384664. Their GleanSLO program will send volunteers to pick your produce and get it to those who will be thrilled to have delicious fresh food. “The Lord says: I am the bread of life. A man who comes to me will not go away hungry, and no one who believes in me will thirst.” -John 6:35 You may enjoy a ‘Conversation between a Catholic and a Muslim’- two young men both working in the film industry. It’s rather light but does make some good observations and is not long or tedious. It focuses on some of the misconceptions they encounter while working-one as an actor, the other as a screenwriter. Both happen to be religious and they compare the misconceptions about each other’s faith. You may find you have heard some of the same comments in your own experience. Google: INnetwork.org (an outreach of Loyola Productions). Also please pray for ALL the families who have lost loved ones recently, including the five police officers in Louisiana. May they rest in peace. There will not be a meeting of the Social Justice committee in August. Next meeting will be September 6th C an you help us out? The La Mesa de los Padres Dinner is in need of live and silent auction items. Gift cards for services or merchandise and gift baskets are welcome. Also, if you have a condo or vacation rental that could be donated for a week or so we’d love to offer it in the live auction. Please let the Office know if you can donate any items. Call 781-8220.

The man wanted his share of the family inheritance from his brother. Jesus first made it clear that he was not the man’s arbitrator and refused to enter the quarrel. But Jesus did use the opportunity to teach the crowd that placing too much emphasis on the acquisition of material wealth would lead to greed and greed would lead to conflicts in families. Jesus continued by making the point that true security did not exist in a surplus of goods when he relayed a parable about a man who had a bumper crop. So huge was the harvest’s yield that the man decided to tear down his storage buildings and build new ones to hold all his grain. Once everything was stored, the man would have no worries and could spend his life without care. But God demanded the man’s life that night and we are left to wonder what good did all the abundance do the man?

Esta actitud es similar a la de los primeros oyentes de la parábola del agricultor próspero que pensarían: Por supuesto. Él tenía que buscar la manera de preservar su buena fortuna para el futuro, para asegurarse una vida muelle, comiendo, bebiendo y gozando. Es exactamente la clase de vida que nos brindaría hoy el billete premiado, una buena mano de cartas o la respuesta correcta en el programa de TV. Estar rodeados por este “sentido común” hace mucho más difícil escuchar hoy las palabras de Cohélet, del salmista, de Pedro y de Jesús. Quizás nos sonría la buena fortuna, quizás no. Pero si hacemos que esa fortuna o su búsqueda sea el corazón, el centro mismo de nuestra vida, viviremos para lamentarlo. No adquiriremos la seguridad futura que perseguimos y perderemos el momento presente por estar persiguiéndola. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Lecturas de Hoy Primera lectura — No pases la vida luchando por las ventajas materiales (Eclesiastés 1:2; 2:21-23). Salmo — Señor, ten compasión de nosotros (Salmo 90 [89]). Segunda lectura — Cristo te ha resucitado a una nueva vida (Colosenses 3:1-5, 9-11). Evangelio — Esté alerta en contra de toda ambición, porque tu vida no consiste en las posesiones materiales, sino en las riquezas del Reino de Dios (Lucas 12:13-21).

Para más información llama a Terry Burrows al 781-8220 X 15 A ño Jubilar de la Misericordia 31 de julio de 2016 Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario ‘¡Insensato!’ Esta misma noche vas a morir” (Lucas 12:20). ¡Esto no suena misericordioso! En esta parábola de Jesús, a diferencia de algunas personas ricas de estos tiempos, no hay mención de mentir, robar o engañar. El hombre rico se ganaba la vida, no es un asesino. ¿Qué es lo que Jesús le quiere decir por “insensato”? Primero, por arrogante. El hombre rico diciendo loque va a hacer. Dios no está a cargo de la situación sino el hombre rico. Segundo, por egoísta. No hay mención de Dios, del prójimo; él hombre rico se habla así mismo de él mismo: ¡mis posesiones, mi productividad, mis planes! Así que en lugar de desear “abundancia de bienes” para nosotros; Jesús y el Papa Francisco en este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos proponen crecer en aquello que “vale ante Dios” (12:21), es decir las obras de misericordia corporales y espirituales. Dar de comer, de beber, vestir y sanar; visitar a los prisioneros, enterrar a los muertos. Sanar con la misma gentileza de Jesús la duda, la ignorancia y las culpas de los prójimos, confortar, perdonar, ser paciente y orar por los vivos y los muertos.. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. NO HAY NADA MEJOR No hay cosa más dulce que el amor; nada más fuerte, nada más alto, nada más ancho, nada más alegre, nada más lleno, ni mejor, en el cielo ni en la tierra. —Tomás de Kempis TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Del 1o al 5 de agosto los capitalinos en El Salvador celebran la fiesta del Salvador del Mundo, cuando recuerdan la Transfiguración de Jesús en el Monte Tabor. Como muchas fiestas patronales en Latinoamérica esta semana está llena de carnavales y desfiles. La celebración principal es una procesión religiosa con la imagen de Jesús, el Divino Salvador del mundo. La estatua de Jesús con sus brazos extendidos en bendición es llevada desde la Basílica del Sagrado Corazón hasta la Catedral Metropolitana. Vestida de un rojo que recuerda su pasión, la imagen es cargada sobre los hombros de una veintena de fieles. Al llegar a la catedral la imagen patronal es puesta en una torre de más de 20 metros de alto. Eventualmente la estatua revestida de blanco aparece de una esfera encima de la torre en medio de gritos, aplausos y cantos. Esta esfera azul representa el mundo entero, mundo salvado por Cristo. La transfiguración de esta imagen en San Salvador recuerda la pasión y resurrección de Jesús, eventos claves que han hecho de él, el Salvador del Mundo entero. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
