Dear Parishioners: What a wonderful weekend we enjoyed last week
at our FunFest. The Lord delivered beautiful weather with the sun
and breeze — the food booths had delicious food [I tried most of
them]; squeals of laughter and excitement filled the campus. A
thousand thank yous for all our volunteers and leaders. We will
publish a list of the many who helped make this day a success. I
saw many new and familiar faces over the weekend. Thank you to all
who came to FunFest and helped make it a success. We will publish
the financial results in a week or two. We want to make sure we get
all our expenses paid so we will have an accurate report. Once
again, Thanks to all.
************************* Last week I mentioned the canonization
of St. José Sánchez del Río from Mexico. As a young boy, he joined
the Cristeros movement and was executed for the faith at 14 years
old. His captors peeled the skin off his feet and made him walk to
his execution. It seems there is no limit to peoples’ ability to be
cruel. St. José stands out to us as a hero of the faith and an
outstanding example of faith-filled courage for all youth. There
are things worth dying for no matter your age. This week we
celebrate All Saints and All Souls days to recognize the many
“saints” who have not made public history. Perhaps you have known
the saintly grandfather or mother; a neighbor who labored for the
poor; the St. Vincent de Paul Society volunteers whose service to
others witnessed to much love; a religious sister who taught
generations of children and helped prepare them for First
Communion; a priest who came in the middle of the night to anoint a
dying relative; etc. Those are part of the “great cloud of
witnesses” surrounding us in love as they hold us up before God our
Father (cf. Hebrews 12:1). They enjoy the beatific vision and enjoy
the magnificent fulfillment of the vision. All Saints is a holy day
of obligation. Be sure to check our holy day schedule in the
bulletin and online — www.svdp-houston.org. We also celebrate All
Souls Day and pray for those suffering in Purgatory. Always
remember that Purgatory is a part of heaven. The Holy Souls in that
state are assured they will be in the fullness of heaven once their
suffering has paid the debt of sin. For example, if I steal $5.00
from you and you forgive me, I still owe you $5.00. This doctrine
originates from the Scriptures and Church Tradition; “Thus [Judas
Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead that they might be absolved
from their sin” (2 Mac 12:46). From our earliest days, our Church
has offered prayers for the dead. St. John Chrysostom (d. 407)
wrote — Let us help and commemorate them. If Job's sons were
purified by their father's sacrifice, why would we doubt that our
offerings for the dead bring them some consolation? Let us not
hesitate to help those who have died and to offer our prayers for
them. All Souls days, IS NOT A HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION. It is a Holy
Day but the Church does not require our attendance at Holy Mass.
One of the principle differences between Purgatory and Hell is the
virtue of HOPE. Souls in purgatory are able to endure their
sufferings because they know the fullness of the vision will soon
be their reward. They are not angry in their suffering because they
know they earned it because of the sins committed. Our prayers for
them help them reach the fullness of heaven “sooner” rather than
later. Our sacrifices and prayers help lessen a soul’s time in
Purgatory. They will not forget those who helped them. They will
intercede with our Father in heaven when they join that great cloud
of witnesses. May these two days inspire you and give the great
hope of knowing God is with you in every situation calling you to
great holiness that you too will find the fullness of the vision —
in the end, it’s really all that matters.
Pax et bonum, Msgr. Bill

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
“It is better to go beyond the limits of charity than to fail in
it.” – Saint Vincent de Paul
We came to the family’s meager apartment, to respond to a
request to provide a dining table and chairs to
replace the broken table retrieved from a dumpster. We found
little furniture, most of which was obtained
from a dumpster. The living room couch doubled as a bed and the
lamp did not work. Upon realizing that we would
provide a table, chairs and furniture to replace what we were
sitting upon, the mother began to weep. We asked what
more we could do. She said that she and her husband and a very
young daughter slept on mattresses on the bedroom
floor. We observed that the mattresses were in a condition unfit
to sleep upon.
The mother works as a dishwasher at a Houston hospital and her
husband struggles to stay employed. Her eight year old
daughter’s birthday went un-celebrated last week (the mother
told us that her daughter pleaded with her to understand
that all was well). Her son withdrew from his Fall semester of
classes because he was unable to pay the $300 tuition
expense. Her son is now working a part-time job to pay for next
semester’s tuition. The mother is taking English clas-
ses and studying to obtain her US citizenship next year.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. A $1,000.00 parishioner
donation to our Conference was received ten minutes be-
fore leaving for our home visit, thus easing our budget
guidelines. We were able to order economical new beds and
used furniture from the Vincentian warehouse for this
family.
Throughout the home visit, the mother gently smiled and never
once asked for anything, other than the dining table. All
additional offers for assistance came from our inquiries and
observations about what more that we could do for her family.
The closing prayer took place in English and Spanish,
simultaneously. As we thanked God for the honor to be with her
that afternoon and for strength to continue to care for her
family, she prayed the following: “Thank you, Jesus, for the
gifts coming to me today. Thank you for bringing me friends to
help me. Please bless my friends for having shown
mercy on me, and please bless all those whom they will continue
to serve. Please let me be able to help others some-
day, as they have helped me. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus. Amen.”
The Vincentian home visit is the core of our ministry. The visit
is more than the validation of need. The visit is to share
time and establish a relationship with people in need. We pray
and feel God’s presence.
Our SVdP Parish Conference extends humble and heartfelt
gratitude to Monsignor Bill and the parishioners of our
Church, for your overwhelming charity in helping us care for
Jesus in the suffering and in the poor. Your prayers for,
and donation checks made out to our SVdP Parish Conference are
greatly needed and humbly appreciated. For infor-
mation on joining us in our mission of holiness and charity,
please call and leave a message at 713-664-5350.

Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
30 de Octubre de 2016
EL VILLANO ¡Pobre Zaqueo! En la historia de hoy, san Lucas lo
pinta como un villano increíblemente antipático,
pecador por excelencia, si puede existir tal cosa. Es un
cobrador de impuestos y, encima de eso, es el jefe de ellos –
como quien dice, el enemigo público número uno. Además, es muy
rico, lo cual demuestra que es un campeón en
exacciones, opresión de los pobres y en toda clase de
comportamientos indebidos. Zaqueo era de baja estatura, algo
que en su cultura se consideraba como una enfermedad o defecto
físico, y signo de la desaprobación de Dios.
Encima de todo, él vivía en Jericó, una ciudad condenada por
Josué cuando los judíos se establecieron en la Tierra
Prometida. Pero Jesús sabe y ve lo que el autor del libro de la
Sabiduría nos dijo en la primera lectura de hoy: que
el espíritu inmortal de Dios, amante de las almas, está en todas
las cosas, hasta en este miserable bribón. Y Jesús,
que se va acercando a la cita con su destino en Jerusalén, no
solamente permite a Zaqueo hablar con él, sino que
aún lo busca. Jesús se invita a sí mismo a cenar y a pasar
la
noche en casa de Zaqueo, entrando así en la vida de este
malhechor. ¡No en balde la gente que estaba alrededor
comenzó a murmurar y a quejarse!
ES NAVIDAD TARDE O TEMPRANO El Evangelio de San Lucas es la
fuente de lo que hemos
llegado a conocer como “la historia de la Navidad”. Dos de
los temas principales que hay en la narración de la infancia
del Señor, según san Lucas, son la alegría y la venida de la
salvación. Y son estos temas los que encontramos también
hoy. Zaqueo recibe a Jesús con alegría y Jesús proclama
que ha llegado la salvación para él. En la escena inmediatamente
anterior a ésta (la cual no se lee en la Misa de
hoy) la salvación llega cuando Jesús sana a un ciego a las
puertas de Jericó. Con este milagro, Jesús transforma
simbólicamente a Jericó, de ciudad de maldición en ciudad de
visión y de luz. Y la presencia de Jesús también es
suficiente para recordarle a Zaqueo sus muchos pecados –no para
condenarlo sino, como dice el libro de la
Sabiduría, para que se arrepienta de sus maldades y crea en el
Señor, viviendo en adelante una vida recta. Zaqueo
le promete a Jesús que sus acciones en el futuro serán justas y
rectas. El Evangelio no nos dice si cumplió o no esas
promesas, pero el significado de este pasaje es que la fe de
Abraham supera la maldición de Josué, que los
obstáculos a la gracia en la vida de Zaqueo no son tan fuertes
como el corazón del Señor, que nunca se da por
vencido cuando se trata de salvar un alma.
Lecturas de hoy: Sabiduría 11:22 — 12:2; Salmo 145:1–2, 8–11,
13, 14; 2 Tesalonicenses 1:11 — 2:2;

DIOS ESTÁ CON NOSOTROS El libro de la Sabiduría nos dice que el
Espíritu de Dios está en todas las cosas. ¡Qué maravilloso
pensamiento! ¡Qué maravillosa imagen para tenerla frente a nosotros
mientras vamos por el ca-mino de la vida! Si el camino se revela al
andar, es bueno saber que Dios está con nosotros –y alrededor de
nosotros– a cada paso. Pero Pablo sabe que esta divina presencia no
es tímida. En vez de eso, Dios nos llama, y Pablo ruega que
nosotros, junto con los tesalonicenses, nos hagamos dignos de ese
llamado. ¿Y quién sabe más acerca del llamado de Dios que Zaqueo,
el recaudador de impuestos? Todos sabe-mos que Jesús lo llamó que
bajara nada menos que de un árbol, por su bien. Tal vez más
correctamente, al reflexio-nar en el final de la lectura del
Evangelio de hoy, podría-mos decir que para bien del cielo.

NUESTRA FE El 31 de octubre muchos se visten de monstruos y al día
siguiente, los cris-tianos celebramos a todos los santos. Es
interesante el con-traste entre los dos días. Un día recordamos
brujas y zom-bis y al siguiente conmemoramos vírgenes y mártires,
reli-giosos y laicos comprometidos todos con una cosa en co-mún: su
amor a Dios, un amor que se hace carne en obras
de caridad y justicia. La mayoría de los santos se hicieron
santos gracias a los monstruos que los rodeaban. Los pri-meros
mártires cristianos murieron a mano de los mons-truos romanos,
muchos religiosos medievales se refugiaban en Dios para protegerse
de los monstruos internos que los tentaban con sexo, dinero y
poder. Y en América muchos como Manuel Chin Sooj se hicieron
testigos de la justicia en manos de los monstruos de gobiernos
injustos. Los monstruos, en fin no pueden vencer a los santos por
eso en Guatemala el martirio de Manuel Chin Sooj, animó a los
obispos guatemaltecos a unirse con la carta “El clamor de la
tierra” a los esfuerzos de pobres en búsqueda de tierra y dignidad
humana. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch
