Jesús el Buen PastorDel 11 al 17 de Agosto: “Dichosos aquellos a quienes su Señor, al llegar, encuentre en vela” Lc 12. 37

Meditemos: ¿Se salvan todos? ¿No será mejor vivir bien la vida y arrepentirse al final? Estos y otros interrogantes aparecen con frecuencia entre los jóvenes. Algunos piensan que Dios, como es Padre misericor-dioso, hará la vista gorda el día del Juicio y nos meterá a todos en el cielo. Otros dicen que, como lo importante es el último momento, basta con una buena confesión justo antes de la muerte. Estos han leído muy bien la historia del “buen ladrón” crucificado junto a Cristo.¿Y nosotros qué pensamos?

La salvación no es cosa de un día. Requiere estar siempre en actitud vigilante. Puede ayudarnos el hacer un examen de conciencia al final del día. De hecho, quienes se examinan con frecuencia sobre el estado de su alma, difícilmente sucumben. Al examinarnos, estamos tomando la “temperatura” de nuestra alma y descubrimos si está fría o caliente. Sabemos si vamos por buen camino o hay algo que corregir. Nos damos cuenta si estamos o no preparados para abrir la puerta “al señor que vuelve de la boda”.

Por eso, no hay que arriesgarlo todo para el último momento, porque es posible que nos sorprenda cuando menos lo esperemos. Es más prudente seguir el consejo que Jesús nos dio: “El que persevere hasta el final, ése se salvará”.

Ora conmigo: Señor, creo, confío y te amo sobre todas las cosas. Me acerco a Ti en esta oración para reanimar la fe, para recibir la ener-gía espiritual que mueva mi corazón y que me mantenga en vigilante espera.Dios mío, concédeme vivir alerta, de cara a la eternidad, con mi alma limpia, lista para el encuentro definitivo contigo. . Amen

Propósito: Vivir responsablemente este día, aprovechando mi tiempo, esforzándome por «ganar tiempo al tiempo», para comprometerme más en la nueva evangelización.

Jesus the Good ShepherdAugust 11 to 17: “Blessed are those whom your Lord, upon arrival, find a candle” Luke 12. 37Let us meditate: Are all saved? Wouldn’t it be better to live life well and repent in the end? These and other questions appear frequently among young people. Some think that God, as he is a merciful Father, will turn a blind eye on Judgment Day and put us all in heaven. Others say that, as the last moment is important, a good confession is just before death. These have read very well the story of the “good thief” crucified with Christ.And what do we think?

Salvation is not a day’s thing. It requires always being vigilant. It can help us to do a conscience exam at the end of the day. In fact, those who ex-amine themselves frequently about the state of their soul hardly succumb. As we examine ourselves, we are taking the “temperature” of our soul and discover if it is cold or hot. We know if we are on the right track or there is something to correct. We realize whether or not we are prepared to open the door “to the lord who returns from the wedding”.

Therefore, we should not risk everything for the last moment, because we may be surprised when we least expect it. It is more prudent to follow the advice Jesus gave us: “He who endures to the end will be saved.”

Pray with me: Lord, I believe, I trust and I love you above all things. I ap-proach You in this prayer to revive the faith, to receive the spiritual energy that moves my heart and keeps me on watchful waiting. My God, grant me to live alert, facing eternity, with my clean soul, ready for the definitive encounter with you. . Amen

Purpose: To live responsibly this day, taking advantage of my time, striving to “save time to time”, to commit myself more to the new evange-lization.

Father Wayne discusses the uniqueness of each human life during a recent funeral Mass. St. Joseph’s offers funeral Masses (with Father Wayne officiating), sacred music, rosary vigils, and full receptions in the church hall. If you or your family is in need of these services, please call the Church Office at (831) 475-8211.

St. Joseph’s Volunteers Serve More Than Food The Hearts and Hands Ministry assists with recep-tions provided for family members after a funeral Mass or a memorial Mass. It’s vital that families dealing with the loss of a loved one, have a place to gather for fellowship after the funeral mass.

Our ministry is made of all volunteers who assist in preparing and serving at each reception. We have about 40 to 50 volunteers helping in these activi-ties.

Hearts and Hands volunteers are called a few at a time to handle specific tasks at each reception. For example, some volunteers might be called upon to bring food, such as sandwiches, salads, or deserts. Other volunteers might be called upon to set every-thing up and/or serve food and/or clean up.

If you can spare an hour or two, Hearts and Hands would love to have you join our ministry. Please call Vera Ronzano (479-7575), Marlene Schmidt (476-0861) or Sharlene Hedgepeth (234-0676).
