20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear Friends,
On August 8, the Pastoral Council and the Finance Council met
in joint session to discuss the budget for the coming year. We
began by praying for the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and I
believe that God answered our prayers. I believe we all came
away from the meeting with an appreciation of how the Lord is
calling this community of St. Pius V and a renewed sense of
commitment. Each of the members of the Councils has
committed to a specific way of realizing that call.
On August 29th, the Councils will meet as sub-committees to
work on various projects and events which will help us on the
way. We invite you, who were called by Christ in Baptism, to
join us in this work. Bring your talents and gifts and a generous
heart. We need everyone and everything: prayer, ideas, sweat,
supportive presence. Come!
You can contact the chairperson for the sub-committee directly or
send an email with your contact information and someone will be
in touch with you. All of the sub-committees are bi-lingual, so
do not let language be a barrier.
Are you friendly and outgoing?
The Stewardship and Development sub-Committee works on
developing and strengthening the call to Stewardship in our
community and on fund-raising by donation.
Chair: Manuel Aguilar email:
Do you like designing or working with your hands?

Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, expanding the Church Plaza,
Chapel renovation, and development of the new property.

With generosity of heart, let us say "Yes" to the God who calls us
to Himself and to His work,
Fr. Joe

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Primera lectura Prv 9, 1-6
La sabiduría se ha edificado una casa, ha preparado un banquete, ha mezclado el vino y puesto la mesa. Ha enviado a sus criados
para que, desde los puntos que dominan la ciudad, anuncien esto: “Si alguno es sencillo, que venga acá”. Y a los faltos de juicio les dice:
“Vengan a comer de mi pan y a beber del vino que he preparado. Dejen su ignorancia y vivirán; avancen por el camino de la prudencia”.
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 33 R. Gusten y vean qué bueno es el Señor.
Segunda lectura Ef 5, 15-20
Hermanos: Tengan cuidado de portarse no como insensatos, sino como prudentes, aprovechando el momento presente, porque los
tiempos son malos.
No sean irreflexivos, antes bien, traten de entender cuál es la voluntad de Dios. No se embriaguen, porque el vino lleva al libertinaje.
Llénense, más bien, del Espíritu Santo; expresen sus sentimientos con salmos, himnos y cánticos espirituales, cantando con todo el
corazón las alabanzas al Señor. Den continuamente gracias a Dios Padre por todas las cosas, en el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
Evangelio Jn 6, 51-58
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los judíos: “Yo soy el pan vivo, que ha bajado del cielo; el que coma de este pan vivirá para siempre. Y
el pan que yo les voy a dar es mi carne, para que el mundo tenga vida”.
Entonces los judíos se pusieron a discutir entre sí: “¿Cómo puede éste darnos a comer su carne?”
Jesús les dijo: “Yo les aseguro: Si no comen la carne del Hijo del hombre y no beben su sangre, no podrán tener vida en ustedes. El
que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna y yo lo resucitaré el último día. Mi carne es verdadera comida y mi sangre es
verdadera bebida. El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, permanece en mí y yo en él. Como el Padre, que me ha enviado, posee la
vida y yo vivo por él, así también el que me come vivirá por mí. Éste es el pan que ha bajado del cielo; no es como el maná que
comieron sus padres, pues murieron. El que come de este pan vivirá para siempre”.
First Reading 1 Prv 9:1-6
Wisdom has built her house, she has set up her seven columns; she has dressed her meat, mixed her wine, yes, she has spread her
table. She has sent out her maidens; she calls from the heights out over the city: “Let whoever is simple turn in here; To the one who
lacks understanding, she says, Come, eat of my food, and drink of the wine I have mixed! Forsake foolishness that you may live;
advance in the way of understanding.”
Responsorial Psalm Ps 34 R. Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Second Reading 2 Eph 5:15-20
Brothers and sisters: Watch carefully how you live, not as foolish persons but as wise, making the most of the opportunity, because
the days are evil.
Therefore, do not continue in ignorance, but try to understand what is the will of the Lord. And do not get drunk on wine, in which
lies debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and playing to the
Lord in your hearts, giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.
Gospel Jn 6:51-58
Jesus said to the crowds: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread
that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life
within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food,
and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me
and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down
from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
Returning Catholics There will be an information meeting in the Church on Thursday Sept. 3, at 7:30 PM, for anyone who would like to return to the sacra-
ment of Holy Communion. If you have been wondering if you might be able to return to communion and fully participate in the life of
Christ and his Church, we invite you to attend this meeting and get the information you need to know. Please fill out the form below and
drop it in the collection or you may give them to me at the rear of the church after mass.
