Gilberto Escobedo The Letter to the Hebrews today sings a hymn of praise to Abraham and to his faith, upon which are founded the religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Abraham is called “father” in faith by more people on earth than anybody else, numerous as the sands of the seashore or the stars of the heavens. Hebrews tells us it was this foundational faith that led Abraham to obey God’s call when he heard it, though he was called to journey to a land he did not know and told he would father a mighty race through a marriage he thought was barren. But Abraham’s faith, the author of Hebrews tells us, was his realization of what he hoped for, and the evidence of what he could not see. How often are we, in simple daily events of our own Christian vocation, called to an unfamiliar place or told we are to do something we do not believe we can? How fortunate we are to have Father Abraham as our guide and example! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Gilberto/Un Mensaje del Padre Gilberto We Are Under Construction I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support to our church and in a special way to our building fund. As you can see every Sunday you come to mass we are under a full bloom seismic retrofitting and the renovations of the church. I hope and pray that soon all of this will be done so we can enjoy our fully renovated church. All of you from our different communities have been very generous in different ways, with your prayers, with your time and talent, and also with your generosity and I want you to know that I truly appreciate all your efforts. I would like to share with you a few examples of good stewardship from the children of our community who have a lot to teach us about sharing our time, talent and treasure. One of our altar servers from our Sunday 5:00 p.m. mass celebrated her 12th birthday this last June, and she told her parents that in lieu of gifts she wanted her relatives and friends to donate to the building fund of Saint Boniface. She was able to raise and donate $400 to our building fund on the occasion of her birthday, thank you very much Chloe Kate Miniano for your thoughtfulness. I also found an envelope and a note in Spanish on the collection on the weekend of June 19th from Emerick Rodriguez. This is what he wrote (I am translating his note): “I am 9 years old and my name is Emerick Rodriguez; my donation is $21.00 this is all I have in my piggy bank, and this money is for the construction of the church. May the Lord Bless my family.” I was very touched and appreciative of the thoughtfulness and generosity of these little ones. Again, I want to thank all of you for your generosity and for being good stewards of our family community. Estamos Bajo Construcción Quiero aprovechar esta oportunidad para agradecer a todos ustedes por su continuo apoyo a nuestra iglesia y especialmente a nuestro fondo de construcción. Como han visto cada domingo que vienen a misa, el reforzamiento sísmico y la remodelación de la iglesia esta en pleno apogeo. Espero y ruego que pronto esté todo terminado para así poder disfrutar de nuestra iglesia completamente renovada. Todos ustedes, de nuestras diferentes comunidades, han sido muy generosos de muchas maneras, con sus oraciones, su tiempo, talento y con su generosidad y quiero que sepan que realmente agradezco todo su esfuerzo. Quiero compartir con ustedes algunos ejemplos de Corresponsabilidad de niños de nuestra comunidad que tienen mucho que enseñarnos sobre compartir nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro. Una de la monaguillas de la misa de de los domingos de 5pm celebro doceavo cumpleaños el pasado mes de junio y le pidió a sus padres que en ves de regalos quería que sus amigos y familiares hicieran una donación al fondo de construcción de San Bonifacio. Ella logro recaudar y donar $400 a nuestro fondo de construcción por su cumpleaños, gracias a Chloe Kate Miniano por su cooperación. También encontré un sobre y una nota el fin de semana del 19 de junio de parte de Emerick Rodriguez. Esto es lo que escribió, “Tengo 9 años, soy Emerick Rodriguez mi donación son $21.00 es todo lo que tenia en mi alcancía, para la construcción de la iglesia. Que Dios bendiga mi familia.” Me conmovió mucho y agradezco la generosidad de estos pequeños. Otra vez, les doy las gracias por su generosidad y por ser buenos administradores de nuestra familia comunitaria.

Abraham es llamado padre” de la fe por más personas en el mundo que cualquier otro; numerosas como la arena de la playa o las estrellas del cielo. La Carta a los Hebreos nos dice que esta fe firme lo impulsó a obedecer el llamado de Dios cuando lo envió a buscar una tierra desconocida y le dijo que sería padre de una raza poderosa, aunque consideraba su matrimonio infecundo. Pero la fe de Abraham, nos dice el autor de la Carta a los Hebreos, le permitía poseer lo que esperaba y conocer lo que no podía ver. ¿Cuántas veces nos vemos en simples sucesos cotidianos de nuestra vocación cristiana llamados a un sitio desconocido o enviados a hacer algo que no creemos poder hacer? ¡Qué afortunados somos por tener a nuestro padre Abraham como nuestro guía y ejemplo! - Copyright © J.

Gracias por su apoyo a su parroquia de San Bonifacio! 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Decimonoveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Jubilee Year of Mercy August 7, 2016 Last Sunday’s “Parable of the rich fool” delivered a compelling reason to do the right thing—now: “You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you” (Luke 12:20). Today, Jesus warns us: “You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come” (12:40). Though we do not know when our Master will come, we do know what our Master expects to find. Jesus expects us to be vigilant (12:37) and diligent (12:42) in our work for the kingdom, but also filled with reverent mercy toward our fellow servants and ourselves. Hopefully, Jesus’ warning not to get drunk and beat each other up (12:45) does not apply to us literally! But what changes do I need to make, right now, so that the many people outside “the Master’s house” will want to come inside to experience the healing comfort of Jesus’ own mercy in the compassion of Jesus’ modern-day disciples? - —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 7 de agosto del 2016 En la parábola del domingo pasado del “Rico Insensato” escuchamos una razón de peso para hacer lo que es correcto aquí y ahora “‘¡Insensato!’ Esta misma noche vas a morir” (Lucas 12:20). Hoy Jesús nos advierte “estén preparados, porque a la hora en que menos lo piensen vendrá el Hijo del hombre” (12:40). Aunque no sabemos cuando nuestro Maestro vendrá, lo que sí sabemos es lo que nuestro Maestro espera encontrar. Jesús espera que estemos vigilantes (12:37) y diligentes (12:42) en nuestro trabajo por el Reino, pero también llenos con misericordia reverente hacia nuestros prójimos y hacia nosotros mismos. Con confianza, la advertencia de Jesús de no beber y maltratar a los demás (12:45) no parece que se siga fielmente. Pero justo ahora qué cambios necesito hacer para que las personas fuera de “la casa del amo” quieran venir adentro para sentir el consuelo de la sanación de la misericordia de Jesús en la compasión de los discípulos de Jesús hoy en día. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J.
