The Things That Are God’s – Part 3 There’s a story of young boy who built a model sail boat. He worked very hard on it. He made all the sails. He carved the wood and sanded it and painted it. He carefully and meticulously assembled all the parts. He put on the masts and attached the sails. It was a beautiful model sailboat. And when he was finished with it, he put it on his shelf in his room. And he was very pleased with his work. One day, he decided to test the boat to see how well it sailed in the open water. So he took his boat down to the river and put it in. It sailed along beautifully. But then it began to pick up speed and go farther and farther out. The boy could no longer reach it and it got away. The boat was lost and the boy went home very sad. Another time, he was walking downtown and he passed a shop that sold used items. He looked in the storefront window and there before his eyes was his very own boat! It was a miracle! He went in and told the store owner what had happened. The store owner said he was sorry but he couldn’t just give the boat to him based upon his story. And so the boy came up with the money and purchased his boat back. As he was walking home with his beloved model sailboat, the boy said, “you’re doubly mine: first I made you, then I bought you!” And so we belong to God. First He made us in His image and likeness. And then He sent His own Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to save us from our sins and to win us back to Him. We bear the image of God. We owe everything to God, especially our selves, our souls and bodies. We are to submit to Him to become like Him. We are to grow into the likeness of Jesus Christ. We do so by His grace, and by obeying Him, following Him, reading and hearing His word, and by eating the Bread of Heaven, His flesh and drinking the Cup of Salvation, His blood. Yes, we are also to be good citizens. We enjoy many things that the State provides. We want good roads to drive on. We want protection from lawless people who are mean to do us harm. We want to send our children to good schools where they will be safe and can get a good education. If our homes were to catch on fire, we want someone to come to put the fire out as soon as possible. And so on. All these things and more are provided by the government. We are therefore obligated to support the State, to pay our fair share of taxes that support all these things. But we do not owe the State our hearts and souls. We are not to put our faith in the State as we ought to put our faith in God. Render unto God the things that are God’s. Amen.

Las cosas que son de Dios – 3ª Parte

Hay una historia de un niño que construyó un velero modelo. Él trabajó muy duro en eso. Hizo todas las velas. Talló la madera, la lijó y la pintó. Cuidadosamente y meticulosamente reunió todas las partes. Puso los mástiles y colocó las velas. Era un hermoso modelo de velero. Y cuando terminó, lo puso en el estante de su habitación. Y estaba muy satisfecho con su trabajo. Un día, decidió probar el bote para ver qué tan bien navegaba en aguas abiertas. Así que tomó su bote hasta el río y lo colocó allí. Navegó maravillosamente. Pero luego comenzó a tomar velocidad e ir más lejos y más lejos. El niño ya no pudo alcanzarlo y se le escapó. El bote se perdió y el chico se fue a casa muy triste. En otra ocasión, él estaba caminando hacia el centro y pasó frente a una tienda que vendía artículos usados. Miró en el aparador de la tienda y allí, ante sus ojos, estaba su propio bote. ¡Fue un milagro! Entró y le dijo al dueño de la tienda lo que había sucedido. El dueño de la tienda dijo que lo lamentaba, pero que no podía darle el bote basándose en su historia. Y entonces el niño vino con el dinero y compró su barco de vuelta. Mientras caminaba hacia su casa con su amado modelo de velero, el niño dijo, "eres doblemente mío: ¡primero te hice, luego te compré!" Y entonces nosotros pertenecemos a Dios. Primero Él nos hizo a Su imagen y semejanza. Y luego Él envió a Su propio Hijo Jesucristo a morir en la cruz para salvarnos de nuestros pecados y para que volvamos a Él. Nosotros llevamos la imagen de Dios. Le debemos todo a Dios, especialmente a nosotros mismos, nuestras almas y cuerpos. Debemos someternos a Él para llegar a ser como Él. Debemos crecer a la semejanza de Jesucristo. Lo hacemos por Su gracia, y obedeciéndolo, siguiéndolo, leyendo y escuchando Su palabra, y comiendo el Pan del Cielo, Su carne y bebiendo la Copa de la Salvación, Su sangre. Sí, también debemos ser buenos ciudadanos. Disfrutamos de muchas cosas que brinda el estado. Queremos buenos caminos para conducir. Queremos a protección de personas sin ley que quieren hacernos daño. Queremos enviar a nuestros hijos a buenas escuelas donde estén seguros y puedan obtener una buena educación. Si nuestras casas se incendiaran, queremos que alguien venga a apagar el fuego lo más pronto posible. Y así. Todas estas cosas y más son provistas por el gobierno. Por lo tanto, estamos obligados a apoyar al Estado, a pagar nuestra parte justa de los impuestos que respaldan todas estas cosas. Pero no le debemos al Estado nuestros corazones y almas. No debemos poner nuestra fe en el Estado como debemos poner nuestra fe en Dios. Dale a Dios lo que es de Dios. Amén.

Pope Francis calls the church to be permanently in mission. He calls for everyone to be a missionary. We can participate in the mission through prayer; an hour of adoration. This hour is a great and unrepeated opportunity for a young parent or grandparent to teach their tender lambs our faith and reverence to our most humble Majesty, The Good Shepherd Jesus. Please join us in just one hour of adoration a week out of nearly 124 weekly hours to choose from. An adorer is needed for:

Tuesday 4:00 a.m.—5:00 a.m. Wednesday 11:00 a.m.—12:00 Noon Wednesday 2:00 p.m.—3:00 p.m. Thursday 9:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m. Friday 8:00 p.m.—9:00 p.m.

If you are able to help with this time, please call Veronica Fabro at (830)377-9117. El Papa Francisco llama a la Iglesia para que esté en mission permanentemente. Nos llama a todos a ser misioneros. Podemos participar en la mission por medio de la oración; una hora de adoración. Esta hora es una gran oportunidad que no repetirá para que un padre o abuelo enséne a sus delicados (tiernos) corderos nuestra fe y reverencia hacia nuestra humildisima Majestad, El Buen Pastor Jesús. Por favor únanse en solo una hora de adoración a la semana de las 124 horas semanales a escoger. Tambien es necesario un adorador los:

martes 4:00 a.m.—5:00 a.m. miercoles 11:00 a.m.—12:00 medio dia

miercoles 2:00 p.m.—3:00 p.m. jueves 9:00 p.m.—10:00 p.m. viernes 8:00 p.m.—9:00 p.m.

Si usted puede acompañar a Jesús este momento, por favor llame a Veronica Fabro al (830)377-9117.

Please pray for those who have died, and have gone to their eternal rest with the Lord, especially for Pauline Sanchez, Katie Spurlock & Tina Jobes. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

DO YOU NEED PRAYER OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO DOES?

If so, then please come to the Prayer Booth at this year’s Fall Festival for a time of private, personal

prayer with another person who CARES.

The Prayer Booth is located by the wooden cross, between the church and the Social Center.

This is a non-ticketed booth.

from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church, near the bell tower door. Judith Kilian (who shares a birthday with him) tells us about Paul VI: Pilgrim Pope, by Michael Collins.

This recent publication in Liturgical Press’s People of God series portrays the life and legacy of Blessed Paul VI, the soon-to-be-canonized Pope, who still speaks to our modern society from his encyclical Humanae Vitae. The Second Vatican Council drew to a close during his papacy, with its reforms bringing about much controversy and change. Dealing with the upheavals resulting from the changes, such as religious and priests leaving the church, a traditional Bishop refusing to accept the new liturgy, and age creeping up on him. Paul VI became discouraged, but would still discharge his duties against medical advice. He was known for his many foreign trips, some being to countries never visited by a pope before. His visit to Africa helped to bring about many converts and vocations there. Paul VI was instrumental in bringing about dialogue with other Christians and encouraging help to the impoverished. History will judge him, but the church is bestowing the title of saint on him this October.

The winner of the festival early bird drawing was Paul Zohlen. Congratulations to Paul and thanks to all who turned in your tickets for the early bird drawing.

Have you ever asked yourself:

How can I make my life a gift for others in charity/to my church community?

Well, we have the answer:

By exploring the many opportunities to assist your parish as a catechist,

nurturing the seeds of faith in children, youth, and adults.

But then you think:

I can’t do that. I don’t know my faith well enough to serve in this capacity.

But you do:

While you would be exploring the many opportunities for your own faith formation you would also be

serving and helping in planting and/or nurturing the seeds of faith in so many, whether it be in our

children, youth or in our adults. We really need your help in many areas whether it be in preparing

parents and/or godparents at Pre-Baptismal preparation classes or walking with our children/teens in their

faith journey.

If you feel like you are being called please call the Youth and Family Ministry at 830 896-4233 for more

information. Perhaps God is tapping you on the shoulder.
