Therefore, when the Pharisee,(who, like all Pharisees, was an expert in "the law and the prophets", asks Jesus to identify the greatest among the 613 commandments of the Old Testament, he is really challenging Christ to give an interpretation of the entire history and reality of the Israelite nation. We can imagine Christ fixing his eyes on those of the questioner, wondering how sincere the question really was. St Matthew doesn't tell us how the Pharisee reacted, but we can imagine that he was surprised, if not downright shocked. Jesus had been asked to name one commandment, but then he listed two. The shrewd Pharisees would have noticed this. In listing two commandments, Jesus was pointing out that you cannot separate loving God from loving one's neighbor. And that's exactly what many of the Pharisees did every single day. God is our Creator and Savior; his love is both universal and personal. He loves every single human being so much that he gave his life on the cross to pay the price for each person's sin, to open the gates of heaven to every single person who is willing to follow him. And so, if someone truly loves God with all their heart, it would be a contradiction not to treat one's neighbors - those very people whom God loves and suffered to save - with sincere and self-sacrificing respect. The old saying applies above all to God: A friend of yours is a friend of mine. God loves every human being. In ancient Rome, Christians used to use Catacombs for their burial places. The Catacombs consist of miles of underground tunnels and chambers that were painstakingly carved out of the unique tufa soil on the outskirts of Rome. Tufa is a mixture of normal topsoil and elements from volcanic ash and lava. As long as it is not exposed to the air, it shows no special characteristics, except that it is remarkably soft and easy to dig. But when you excavate into it, exposing it to the air, it gradually becomes almost as hard as rock. And so it was the perfect environment to create a vast network of underground cemeteries, chapels, and hiding places. You can still visit these Catacombs today. When you do, you notice that in addition to the normal graves, there are thousands of little horizontal niches dug into the walls of the passageways. Two or three feet long, less than a foot high, and two or three feet deep, these niches are much too small to serve as a burial place for a full-grown body. Archeologists recently discovered what they were used for. In ancient Rome, when Christianity was still a minority, outlawed religion, it was common practice for pagan women to abandon by exposure unwanted or crippled babies. Special clearings outside the city were used just for this purpose. As Christianity spread, Christian women started going out to those clearings to rescue the unwanted babies, convinced that they were loved by God and created in his image. Some of the babies would die from exposure before or soon after being rescued. When that happened, the Christians would bury these babies in the little niches in the Catacombs. In this way, at great cost and inconvenience to themselves, they actively lived out Christ’s commandment to love. My God bless you. Fr. Dan

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Parishioners,

The "law and the prophets" of the Old Testament that Jesus

refers to in today's Gospel were considered by the Jews to contain

the absolutely unique self-revelation of the one, true God to his

only Chosen People. Possessing this revelation made ancient

Israel more privileged than all other nations and peoples.

Therefore, when the Pharisee,(who, like all Pharisees, was an

expert in "the law and the prophets", asks Jesus to identify the

greatest among the 613 commandments of the Old Testament, he

is really challenging Christ to give an interpretation of the entire

history and reality of the Israelite nation. We can imagine Christ

fixing his eyes on those of the questioner, wondering how sincere

the question really was. St Matthew doesn't tell us how the

Pharisee reacted, but we can imagine that he was surprised, if not

downright shocked. Jesus had been asked to name one

commandment, but then he listed two. The shrewd Pharisees

would have noticed this. In listing two commandments, Jesus was

pointing out that you cannot separate loving God from loving

one's neighbor. And that's exactly what many of the Pharisees did

every single day.

God is our Creator and Savior; his love is both universal and

personal. He loves every single human being so much that he gave

his life on the cross to pay the price for each person's sin, to open

the gates of heaven to every single person who is willing to follow

him. And so, if someone truly loves God with all their heart, it

would be a contradiction not to treat one's neighbors - those very

people whom God loves and suffered to save - with sincere and

self-sacrificing respect. The old saying applies above all to God: A

friend of yours is a friend of mine.

God loves every human being. In ancient Rome, Christians used to

use Catacombs for their burial places. The Catacombs consist of

THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2017 TRIGESIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO DOMINGO 29 DE OCTUBRE DEL 2017

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO Queridos Parroquianos,

La "ley y los profetas" del Antiguo Testamento al que Jesús

se refiere en el Evangelio de hoy eran considerados por los

judíos de tener la única revelación del verdadero Dios a su

pueblo elegido. Poseer esta revelación hizo al antiguo Israel

más privilegiado que otras naciones y pueblos. Por lo tanto,

cuando el fariseo (que, como los fariseos, era un experto en

"la ley y los profetas", le pide a Jesús identificar el mayor

entre los 613 mandamientos del Antiguo Testamento, está

realmente retando a Cristo para que de una interpretación

de toda la historia y realidad de la nación israelita. Podemos

imaginar a Cristo fijando sus ojos en los del que pregunta,

preguntándose cuan sincera era la pregunta realmente. St

Mateo no nos dice cómo reaccionó el fariseo, pero podemos

imaginar que estaba sorprendido, si no más que

sorprendido. Le pidió a Jesús que nombrara un

mandamiento, pero el enumeró dos. Los fariseos astutos

habrían notado esto. En el listado de los dos mandamientos,

Jesús estaba señalando que no se puede separar a Dios y el

amor a su prójimo. Y eso es exactamente lo que muchos de

los fariseos hacían todos los días.

Dios es nuestro creador y Salvador; su amor es universal y

personal. Ama tanto que dio su vida en la Cruz para pagar el

precio por el pecado de cada persona, para abrir las puertas

del cielo para cada persona que está dispuesta a seguirlo

cada ser humano. Y así, si alguien realmente ama a Dios con

todo su corazón, que sería una contradicción de no tratar

bien a los vecinos - aquellos mismos que Dios ama y sufrió

para salvar - con respeto sincero y abnegado. El refrán se

aplica sobre todo a Dios: un amigo es un amigo mío.

Dios ama a cada ser humano. En la antigua Roma, los

cristianos solían utilizar catacumbas para sus sepulturas. Las

catacumbas consisten en millas de túneles y cámaras que

fueron cuidadosamente talladas en el suelo de toba único en

las afueras de Roma. Tufa es una mezcla de tierra vegetal

normal y elementos de ceniza volcánica y lava. Siempre y

cuando no se expone al aire, no muestra características

especiales, excepto que es notablemente suave y fácil de

excavar. Pero cuando Excava en él, y lo expone al aire, poco

a poco llega a ser casi tan duro como roca.

Y así fue el ambiente perfecto para crear una vasta red de

metros de cementerios, capillas, y escondites. Usted puede

visitar estas catacumbas hoy. Cuando lo haga, aviso que

además de las tumbas normales, hay miles de nichos poco

horizontales excavadas en las paredes de los pasillos. Dos o

tres pies de largo, menos de un pie de alto y dos o tres pies

de profundidad, estos nichos son demasiado pequeños para

servir como un lugar del entierro de un cuerpo adulto. Los

arqueólogos descubrieron recientemente para que fueron

utilizados. En la antigua Roma, cuando el cristianismo era

todavía una minoría, religión proscrita, era una práctica

común para las mujeres paganas abandonar por la

exposición no deseada a mutilados bebés. Claros especiales

fuera de la ciudad fueron utilizados para este propósito.

Como extensión del cristianismo, las mujeres cristianas

comenzaron a salir a los claros para rescatar a los bebés no

deseados, convencidos de que eran amados por Dios y

creados a su imagen. Algunos de los bebés morirían de la

exposición antes o poco después de ser rescatados. Cuando

eso sucedía, los cristianos enterraban a estos bebés en los

pequeños nichos en las catacumbas. De esta manera, se

ahorraban el gran costo y las molestias para ellos mismos,

ellos vivieron activamente el mandamiento de Cristo de

amar.

Dios te bendiga.

Padre de Dan

30º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Para que reconozcamos que todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que

somos es un regalo de Dios.

"Amarás al Señor, tu Dios, con todo tu corazón, con toda tu alma

y con toda tu mente." - Mateo 22:37

¿Pones otros "dioses" delante de Dios? ¿Es tu amor por el dinero,

poder, estatus o alguna posesión personal mayor que tu amor por

Dios? ¿Realmente reconoces que todo lo que tienes y todo lo que

eres es un regalo de Dios? La buena noticia - no es demasiado

tarde para poner a Dios primero en tu vida en todas las cosas.

STEWARDSHIP – Stewardship and life are like two magnets. Each has a positive and negative force; positive, because one has been part of the other from the foundation of the world; negative because original so places them in diametrical opposition. As life and stewardship draws towards each other, as intended by God from the beginning, the field of attraction becomes more powerful. Eventually, the person and God reconnect in each other as two magnets do. When stewardship and life go in opposite directions, and opposing forces create disturbance within us, around us, and beyond us, they propel us away from God, our very selves, and the whole of creation. The creation story, the incarnation story, the salvation story, one of these shows us the way to bring stewardship and life together so that the forces of good bring rest to our souls and the souls to others.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! THANKSGIVING IS FAST

OCT. 29th - CELEBRATE PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY! - This

is the day set aside this year to celebrate and extend our thanks and prayers to our priests who serve St. Jerome community in so many ways. We invite you to give our priests a prayer, A Mass, a Holy Hour, a Rosary, a spiritual bouquet, a simple note or a smile to assure them of our loving care and gratitude for their presence in our lives will go a long way to serve the greater good of our wonderful and growing St. Jerome Catholic Church. The reasons for this celebration should be obvious. The number of priests per Catholic has declined over the past 40 years. This makes it more difficult for individual parishioners to establish a close relationship with any one particular priest. PLEASE PRAY FOR VOCATIONS AND FOR ALL PRIESTS! Let’s celebrate this special day, in praying for our priests, in praising God for their courage and their generosity. Let’s show

our appreciation for Fr. Dan, Fr. Mike and Fr. David.

¡CELEBREMOS EL DOMINGO DEL SACERDOCIO EL DOMINGO 29 DE OCTUBRE! La Celebración Anual del Domingo del Sacerdocio ya se acerca y este es un año para celebrarlo en grande y extender nuestro agradecimiento y oraciones a todos los sacerdotes que sirven

en la Arquidiócesis de muchas diferentes formas‐ en nuestras parroquias, capellanes en cárceles, hospitales, en el Puerto de Houston y como capellanes militares. Los invitamos a dedicarles un “Ramillete Espiritual” a sus sacerdotes y hacérselos llegar, así como nuestras oraciones, nuestros mejores deseos y por supuesto nuestro agradecimiento siempre.

! ¡Muchas gracias Padre Dan, Padre Mike y Padre David! Los Sacerdotes diariamente usan los dones de curación, de consejo, de prédica y de celebración de la Sagrada Eucaristía para el beneficio de católicos de todas partes. Hoy pedimos bendiciones para nuestros sacerdotes pidiéndole a Dios que continúe bendiciéndolos en su ministerio.

ORACION POR NUESTROS SACERDOTES “Te honramos y damos gloria a ti, Señor Dios nuestro, Creador de todo y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. En tu fidelidad y amor, haz mandado a tu único Hijo a vivir con nosotros y a salvarnos dando su vida por nosotros. Hoy te damos gracias por haber escogido al Padre Dan, al Padre Mike y al Padre Víctor para ser llenados con el Espíritu de Jesús mientras dirigen tu congregación con afán, amor y sabiduría. Te pedimos, Padre Santo, que les bendigas abundantemente para que continúen en su ministerio del sacerdocio. Ayúdalos a servir a otros tan generosamente como Jesús lo hizo en momentos de pena y en momentos de alegría. Dios de amor, bendice a nuestro pastor, Padre Dan, para que él pueda alimentarnos con tu Palabra, dirigirnos en oración y adoración, y sostenernos como pastor y como padre. Te pedimos humildemente que des fuerza, sabiduría y bendición a nuestros sacerdotes para que puedan instruirnos con sus enseñanzas, inspirarnos con su predicación, y animarnos con la palabra y el acto de trabajar con ellos por el bien de nuestra parroquia. Te pedimos, Padre Nuestro, que no te alejes de tus sacerdotes, que los guíes día a día hacia senderos nivelados y lisos. Que tu gracia poderosa los haga fuertes en la Fe, alegres en la esperanza y fervientes en el amor, en este día y todos los días de su vida. Te lo pedimos, Padre en el nombre de Jesucristo. Amen.” Dios Padre Todopoderoso, Señor mío y Dios mío ¡Pastor Eterno de las almas! Dígnate mirar con ojos de misericordia a esta comunidad Católica de San Jerónimo que tanto te ama. Señor, necesitamos mayor número de Sacerdotes, multiplica las vocaciones y santifica más y más a nuestros Sacerdotes. Señor, danos muchos y muy santos sacerdotes. Te lo pedimos por la intercesión de Nuestra Santa madre la Virgen María, tu dulce y santa Madre. ¡Oh Jesús, danos muchos y muy santos sacerdotes según tu Corazón! “En cuanto a mí y a mi casa toca, nosotros serviremos al Señor” (Josué 24:15

Pornography is a nasty word most of us don’t like to talk about. It’s a plague of the worst kind. This is a silent plague that

destroys families. WHITE RIBBON AGAINST

PORNOGRAPHY is one of the many service projects of

Catholic Daughters Court Ave Maria #2001 here at St. Jerome. This program is an opportunity for all of us to rally for a safe community and a strong country. This little white ribbon is a symbol of decency. This white ribbon increased awareness of pornography addiction. Many people, teens and children, are not aware of the quickness of pornography addiction. Wear or display a white ribbon during WRAP Week and all year long. White ribbons will be passed out Saturday, October 28th , and Sunday, October 29th .

NOTICE - All meeting rooms and other facilities at St. Jerome are scheduled on a basis of trust and the assumption that the group

reserving the space will actually meet as scheduled. If your group or ministry cannot or does not use the facility as scheduled, please call the office as soon as possible prior to the event and cancel your reservation so other groups may use the space. Thank you. Also, it is your group’s responsibility to clean up and take all trash to the trash bins.
