Remembrance)
My dear parish family,
The Church invites us, in the month of
November, to commemorate and pray for our relatives and friends who have died. Based on
our faith in the communion of the saints, we join holy mother Church to pray for those who
have gone before us marked with the sign of faith. At St. Lawrence, we shall celebrate a
special mass of remembrance on Tuesday, November 2, 2021 (All Souls’ Day) at 7pm. During
this Mass, we shall pray for all our deceased relatives and friends but in a special way, we shall invite you to light
a candle for your family member who died in the past year. Please note that the lighting of the candle is limited
only to immediate family members, that is, father, mother, brother, sister, son or daughter. If you lost a family
member (father, mother, brother, sister, son or daughter) and the funeral was not celebrated here at St.
Lawrence, please contact Lori Crocker at [email protected] to RSVP for that Mass and we’ll reserve a
candle for you.
In addition, we ask you to participate in the All Souls’ Novena of Masses for the Dead (November 3-11). If you’d
like to include the intentions of your deceased relatives and friends to the All Souls’ Novena, please fill out the
envelopes and return them to the parish office or put them in the offertory basket during Mass. Envelopes can be
found in the Narthex.
On October 22, we celebrate the memorial of Pope St. John Paul II. The witness of his life is a testimony to the
world that firm and enduring faith must always be grounded in holiness and prayer. He once remarked: You must
always muster …the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the
courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more
human and more fraternal." May his prayers and intercessions guide us as encounter the future with hope and
courage!
God bless you and see you at Mass!

Mi Querida Familia Parroquial,
La Iglesia nos invita, en el mes de noviembre, a conmemorar y rezar por nuestros familiares y amigos fallecidos.
Basados en nuestra fe y en la comunión con todos los santos, nos unimos a la santa madre Iglesia para orar por
aquellos que nos han precedido y han sido marcados con el signo de la fe. En San Lorenzo, celebraremos una
misa especial de recuerdo el martes 2 de noviembre de 2021 (Día de los Fieles Difuntos) a las 7 p.m. Durante
esta Misa, rezaremos por todos nuestros familiares y amigos fallecidos, pero de manera especial, los invitaremos
a encender una vela por el familiar que falleció el año pasado. Tenga en cuenta que el encendido de la vela
está limitado solo a miembros de la familia inmediata, es decir, padre, madre, hermano, hermana, hijo o hija. Si
perdió a un miembro de la familia (padre, madre, hermano, hermana, hijo o hija) y el funeral no se celebró aquí
en San Lorenzo, comuníquese con Lori Crocker en [email protected] para confirmar su asistencia a esa misa
y haremos reserva una vela para ti.
Además, le pedimos que participe en la Novena de Misas por los Fieles Difuntos (del 3 al 11 de noviembre). Si
desea incluir las intenciones de sus familiares y amigos fallecidos en la Novena de Todas las Almas, complete los
sobres y devuélvalos a la oficina parroquial o colóquelos en la canasta del ofertorio durante la Misa. Los sobres
se pueden encontrar en el Nártex/Atrio Parroquial.
El 22 de octubre celebramos la memoria del Papa San Juan Pablo II. El testimonio de su vida es un testimonio al
mundo de que la fe firme y duradera siempre debe basarse en la santidad y la oración. Una vez comentó:
Debéis reunir siempre ... la voluntad de seguir un ideal, el rechazo a dejaros aplastar por la mediocridad, la
fuerza para comprometerse con humildad y paciencia en mejoraros a vosotros mismos y a la sociedad,
haciendo el mundo más humano y más fraterno. "¡Que sus oraciones e intercesiones nos guíen para encontrar el
futuro con esperanza y fortaleza!
¡Dios los bendiga y nos vemos en la Misa!
Padre. Henry
De Nuestro Párroco Encontrar a Christo.

Crecer como Discípulos.
Liderazgo de Servicio Aquellos quienes se colocarían a sí mismos primero, que buscan llegar a ser
poderosos y usar ese poder sobre los demás, serán los últimos en el reino de
Dios. Aquellos que sirven a los demás con humildad y bondad serán los
primero. El costo de dicho servicio es alto, lo que requiere que uno dé su vida
por los demás. No hay nada más difícil de presenciar el sufrimiento de una
persona inocente: el padre tratando en vano de proteger a su hijo pequeño en
una calle devastada por la guerra; la joven madre cuya vida se ve cruelmente
acortada por el ataque del cáncer; el ataque armado a los estudiantes de
secundaria por parte de uno de sus compañeros a medida que se toman de la
mano en oración. Tal sufrimiento parece sin sentido, y aunque es bastante
difícil escuchar de él, Jesús parece estar diciendo que debemos estar abiertos
a él también. La mayoría de nosotros, en nuestros intentos de vivir nuestra fe, no
encontraremos un final como muchos de los primeros discípulos.
Probablemente no seremos crucificados, torturados o decapitados mientras
defendemos nuestras creencias. Pero lo que se nos pide que hagamos todavía
pasará factura a nuestros corazones y espíritus. Vivir el Evangelio podría requerir que cuidemos a un ser querido
con una enfermedad a largo plazo, que entremos en un largo proceso de perdón o que nos estiremos hasta el
punto de agotamiento para llegar a los necesitados. Rodeados como estamos por una cultura que defiende
nuestros "derechos" —demandar, culpar y hacernos las víctimas— el liderazgo de servicio puede ser un enorme
desafío. Pero Jesús mismo lidera el camino. Para aquellos que tratan de seguirlo, aunque sea
imperfectamente, la imagen de su pasión y muerte es un recordatorio continuo de la fidelidad y el amor que
es una parte necesaria del discipulado. Los ejemplos de los Doce son también inspiradores. A pesar de su
comprensión, continuaron haciendo grandes cosas de manera humilde. Su recompensa puede haber sido
mucho más de lo que jamás soñaron posible. Tal es nuestra esperanza.
Servant Leadership Those who would place themselves first, who seek to become powerful and to use that power over others,
will be made last in the reign of God. Those who serve others in humility and kindness will be made first. The
cost of such service is high, requiring one to give his or her life for others. There is nothing more difficult to
witness than the suffering of an innocent person: The father trying vainly to protect his young son on a war-
torn street; the young mother whose life is cruelly shortened by the onslaught of cancer; the gunning down
of high school students by one of their peers as they hold hands in prayer. Such suffering appears senseless,
and while it is hard enough to hear of it, Jesus seems to be saying we must be open to it as well. Most of us,
in our attempts to live our faith, will not meet an end like many of the early disciples. We probably won’t be
crucified, tortured, or beheaded as we stand up for our beliefs. But what we are asked to do will still take its
toll on our hearts and spirits. Living out the Gospel could require us to care for a loved one with a long-term
illness, to enter in to a lengthy process of forgiveness, or to stretch ourselves to the point of exhaustion in
order to reach out to those in need. Surrounded as we are by a culture that champions our “rights”—to sue,
to blame, and to make ourselves victims—servant leadership can be an enormous challenge. But Jesus
himself leads the way. For those who try to follow him, however imperfectly, the image of his passion and
death is a continual reminder of the faithfulness and love that is a requisite part of discipleship. The examples
of the Twelve are also inspirational. Despite their like of understanding they went on to do great things in
humble ways. Their reward may have been much more than they ever dreamed possible. Such is our hope.
Share the Gospel.
