ARE YOU HUNGRY OR THIRSTY? If you have ever been on a diet or if you have fasted, you know the feeling of being hungry. Reducing our consumption of food leaves us with hunger pangs that are hard to ignore. Of course, this type of hunger pales in comparison with those who truly lack the nourish-ment they need. Some lack drinkable water. Their thirst is unimaginable to people who simply turn on a tap from which fresh water flows. There is another kind of hunger and thirst that is part of the human experience. Many of us hunger for a deep relationship with God. This spiritual hunger is sometimes not conscious, until we are attentive to it. The Israelites in the desert and the people who followed Jesus across the sea experienced a flash of insight that changed them. Suddenly, their hunger was about more than food for their physical sustenance. They became aware of their spiritual thirst, which only God can quench. What spiritual hunger do you recognize?

THIRST QUENCHED, WE BECOME THIRSTY

Once we become attuned to our great longing for God, we grow in trust that Jesus is the bread of life who fills us with God’s goodness. Assured that we need never hunger again, our faith leads us to thirst—for justice, mercy, or care for those who are on the peripheries, and for an ever-greater relationship with God and within the Christian community. With this spiritual growth, we recognize that we must act in order to meet the needs of those who are physically hungry or thirsty, and that we may have the opportunity to lead others to Jesus, the bread from heaven that gives life to the world. In what ways is Jesus your bread of life? How are you called to provide bread, physical or spiritual, to others?

DECIMOCTAVO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 5 DE AGOSTO DE 2018

¿TIENES HAMBRE O SED? Si alguna vez te has puesto a dieta o has ayunado, sabes cómo se siente tener hambre. Cuando reducimos el consumo de alimentos nos provoca dolores de hambre que son difíciles de ignorar. Desde luego, este tipo de hambre palidece en comparación con aquel tipo de hambre que sufren otras personas por falta de nutrientes que necesitan. A algunas personas les falta agua potable. Su sed no puede ser imaginada por las personas que simplemente abren la llave de sus cocinas por las que sale el agua. Hay otro tipo de hambre que es parte de la experiencia humana. Muchos de nosotros tenemos hambre de una relación profunda con Dios. Esta hambre espiritual a veces no es consciente, sino hasta que ponemos atención. Los israelitas en el desierto y las personas que siguieron a Jesús por el mar tuvieron la experiencia de un parpadeo luminoso que los cambió. De pronto su hambre no era de hambre sino de sustento espiritual. Ellos fueron conscientes de su sed espiritual, la cual solo Dios puede saciar. ¿Qué hambre espiritual reconoces?

SED SACIADA, NOS HACEMOS SED Una vez que estamos en la misma sintonía con nuestro gran anhelo por Dios, crecemos en la confianza que Jesús es el pan de vida que nos sacia con la bondad de Dios. Con la seguridad que no necesitamos el hambre otra vez, nuestra fe nos guía con sed, por justicia, misericordia o cuidado por aquellas personas que están en las periferias y por una relación más grande con Dios y dentro de la comunidad cristiana. Con este espíritu de crecimiento, reconocemos que debemos actuar para atender las necesidades de aquellas personas que tienen hambre o sed literalmente, y para que ellas tengan la oportunidad de guiar a otras personas hacia

Jesús, el pan bajado de cielo que da vida al mundo. ¿En cuáles maneras es Jesús tu pan de vida? ¿Cómo se te está llamando a proveer pan, material o espiritual, a otras personas? —Copyright © J. S. Paluch

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

Everyone:

Today I am in Astorga, Spain, beginning my hike on the Camino de Santiago, also called The Way of Saint James – a pilgrimage route that ends at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. My youngest son, Tom, is accompanying me and, thankfully, his Spanish is better than mine.

From the Pilgrim’s Guide: “May your journey along your chosen path be blessed – rough or smooth, long or short – whichever route you take, know that you are loved and your destination is assured.”

Thank you,

Marty Soth, Grand Knight

THANK YOU, KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS!

Our parish is very fortunate to have great groups of parishioners that are

always helping in one way or another. The Knights of Columbus are one of these groups. We are very thankful for their recent donation of $2000 that

will be applied to the Improvement Fund. Thank you Knights, for all the support you provide to our parish!

EL TRABAJO QUE DIOS QUIERE ¡Estamos tan ocupados! Muchos de nosotros tenemos más de un trabajo y parecería que nunca tenemos sufi-ciente tiempo. Somos trabajadores, voluntarios, padres, amigos y la mayoría es más de una cosa a la vez. Pero, ¿cuál de estos es el trabajo que Dios quiere? Rara vez vemos nuestro trabajo común como el trabajo que Dios quiere. Quizás pensamos que debemos ser ministros o sacerdotes, misioneros o benefactores, que debemos realizar trabajos de tiempo completo que se consideran como “las obras de Dios”. Pero todo lo que hacemos con un corazón fiel y con amor por el prójimo es una obra de Dios. Cada uno tiene un papel que cumplir en el mundo y muchos dones son necesarios. No siempre podemos ver la relación directa que existe entre nuestro trabajo diario y los designios de Dios. Pero confiamos y tenemos fe en que Dios nos guía a hacer lo que es nece-sario, cuando es necesario. ¿Cuál es “la obra de Dios?” “La obra de Dios consiste en que crean en aquél a quien él ha enviado” (Juan 6:29). —Copyright © J.
