A Letter from Father Tom *◊*◊*◊*◊*Una Carta del Padre Tom

Dear Parishioners,

Thank you for your prayers and support during the time of my surgery and during this time of recuperation. I have

begun rehabilitation with a physical therapist working with me three times per week. From one to two times per

week, a nurse visits me taking vital signs, checking on any swelling or bruising and taking all precautions that might

prevent blood clotting. I do physical therapy each day -- mainly specific exercises in either the sitting, standing or ly-

ing down positions. I walk every day with the use of a walker -- varying lengths each day. The pain medication helps

control the pain a lot of the time -- but, not all of the time. The hours I sleep vary from day to day. I have read a lot

more during this time and, yes, I was happy to see the University of Houston beat the University of Oklahoma on

their season-opener, Go Coogs!!! I will keep you posted as to how I am progressing. Please know that I regularly

pray for all of you. I am blessed to be able to serve the people of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Community. May

our Loving God continue to bless each of you and your families in all ways.

Your brother in Christ,

Fr. Tom

Queridos Feligreses,

Gracias por sus oraciones y apoyo durante el tiempo de mi cirugía y durante este tiempo de recuperación. He co-

menzado la rehabilitación con un fisioterapeuta que trabaja conmigo tres veces por semana. Una enfermera me visita

de una a dos veces por semana para tomarme los signos vitales, checar si hay alguna inflamación o moretones y to-

mar las precauciones que impidan la coagulación de la sangre. Tengo terapia física todos los días – hago ejercicios

específicos en diferentes posiciones como sentado, de pie o acostado. Camino todos los días con el uso de un anda-

dor – variando la duración de cada día. El medicamento para el dolor me ayuda a controlar el dolor gran parte del

tiempo – pero no todo el tiempo. Las horas que duermo varían día a día. He leído mucho más durante este tiempo

y, sí, me dio mucha alegría poder ver que la Universidad de Houston venció a la Universidad de Oklahoma en su

apertura de temporada, Vamos Coogs!!! Los mantendré informados de cómo estoy progresando. Por favor, sepan

que rezo regularmente por todos ustedes. Estoy muy bendecido de servir a las personas de esta Comunidad Católica

del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Que nuestro Dios Amoroso los siga bendiciendo a cada uno de ustedes y sus familias

en todo momento.

Su hermano en Cristo,

Padre Tom

Welcome To Our Parish! If you and your family are new to the area and

wish to become members of Sacred Heart of Jesus

Church, or have attended our church but have not

yet registered, we welcome and invite you to pick

up a New Parishioner Registration Form. These

forms are available in the church foyer or the

parish office. The parish office is located in the

Parish Life Center. You can drop off the

completed form at the parish office, mail, or simply place it in the Sunday collection basket.

Thank you and welcome to our Parish family!

25th Sunday in Ordinary Time:

September 18th That we recognize everything we have is a gift

from God, including our money, and to gener-

ously share our wealth to support the mission of

our Church, locally and around the world. “No

servant can serve two masters. He will hate one and love the

other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot

serve God and mammon (wealth).” Luke 16:13 Is money a

“god” that you put before God? Giving money to support the

Church and other charity is a pillar of our Faith, just like

attending Mass every Sunday and participating in parish

ministry. Giving money frees us from being a slave to money

and increases our dependence on God and to trust that He will

provide all that we need.

Vocation Prayer Lord Jesus, up until now you have been quietly

preparing me to be your disciple. Now the time of

preparation is ending. I seem to hear you say to me as

once to Peter: “Will you also go away?” You were

saddened then by friends that failed you. But Peter did

not fail. “Lord,” he said, “to whom shall we go? You

have the words of eternal life.” I stand with Peter.

Through prayer and counsel, show me, Lord, where it

is in your vineyard that you want me to serve. Then

give me strength to be faithful. Mary, Mother and

Model, help me to respond in generous love to the call

of your divine son.

25° Domingo del tiempo ordinario:

18 de Septiembre Para que reconozcamos que todo lo que tenemos es

un regalo de Dios, incluyendo nuestro dinero, y

para que generosamente compartamos nuestra

riqueza para apoyar la misión de nuestra Iglesia, a

nivel local y en todo el mundo. "Ningún siervo puede servir a

dos señores. Porque aborrecerá a uno y amará al otro, o se

apegará a uno y despreciará al otro. No se puede servir a Dios

y a las riquezas." Lucas 16:13 ¿Es el dinero un "dios" que se

pone delante de Dios? Dar dinero para apoyar a la Iglesia y

otras caridades es un pilar de nuestra Fe, así como asistir a misa

todos los domingos y participar en el ministerio parroquial. Dar

dinero nos libera de ser un esclavo del dinero y aumenta nues-

tra dependencia en Dios y confiar en que Él proveerá todo lo

que necesitamos.

¡Bienvenidos a Nuestra Parroquia! !Si usted y su familia desean ser miembros de

nuestra familia del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús,

les invitamos y les damos una cordial bienvenida.

Favor de llenar la forma de registro que se

encuentra en el vestíbulo de la iglesia o pase y

pídala en la oficina parroquial. La oficina

parroquial se encuentra en el edificio “Centro de

Vida Parrroquial”. Triaga la forma completa a la

oficina parroquial, mándela por correo, o simple-

mente póngala en la canasta de la ofrenda

cualquier domingo. ¡Gracias y bienvenidos a

nuestra familia Parroquial!

Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario~ 18 de Septiembre de 2016

La falta más grande es no estar consciente de ninguna.

— Thomas Carlyle

Oración de Vocación

Señor Jesús, hasta ahora me has preparado en silencio para

ser tu discípulo. Ahora el tiempo de la preparación ha

terminado. Me parece oírte decirme como una vez a Pedro:

¿"también iras?" Te has puesto triste de todos los amigos

que te han fallado. Pero Pedro no te fallo. ¿"Señor," dijo, "a

dónde iremos? Tú tienes palabras de vida eterna". Estoy a

lado de Pedro. Entre la oración y el consejo, muéstrame,

Señor, dónde en tu viñero quieres que yo sirva. Y dame la

fuerza para serte fiel. María, madre y modelo, ayúdame a

responder en amor generoso a la llamada de tu divino Hijo.

tener por lo menos 18 años o terminado la Preparatoria. “Con el Bautismo y la Eucaristía, el sacramento de la Confirmación constituye el conjunto de los "sacramentos de la iniciación cristiana", cuya unidad debe ser salvaguardada.
