Changes are coming 🙏🕊🕯📿

With numbers of clergy dwindling and fewer joining the priesthood, could we soon see lay people leading funerals or even Sunday mass?

The World Meeting of Families is taking place in Rome this weekend...

EL PAPA FRANCISCO DIJO:

"Piensen en una madre soltera que va a la Iglesia o a la parroquia, y le dice al secretario: QUIERO BAUTIZAR A MI HIJO, y el que le atiende le dice: "No, no se puede, porque Ud. no se ha casado..."

Tengamos en cuenta que ...esta madre tuvo el valor para continuar con un embarazo, y ¿con qué se encuentra? Con una puerta cerrada!

Y así, si seguimos este camino y con esta actitud, no estamos haciendo bien a la gente, al Pueblo de Dios.

Jesús creó los siete sacramentos y con este tipo de actitud creamos un octavo: ¡el sacramento de la aduana pastoral!

“QUIEN SE ACERCA A LA IGLESIA DEBE ENCONTRAR PUERTAS ABIERTAS Y NO FISCALES DE LA FE".

"Necesitamos santos sin velo, sin sotana. Necesitamos santos de jeans y zapatillas.

Necesitamos santos que vayan al cine, escuchen música y paseen con sus amigos.

Necesitamos santos que coloquen a Dios en primer lugar y que sobresalgan en la Universidad.

Necesitamos santos que busquen tiempo para rezar cada dia y que sepan enamorarse en la pureza y castidad, o que consagren su castidad.

Necesitamos santos modernos, santos del siglo XXI con una espiritualidad insertada en nuestro tiempo.

Necesitamos santos comprometidos con los pobres y los necesarios cambios sociales.

Necesitamos santos que vivan en el mundo, se santifiquen en el mundo y que no tengan miedo de vivir en el mundo.

Necesitamos santos que tomen Coca Cola y coman hot-dogs, que sean internautas, que escuchen iPod.

Necesitamos santos que amen la Eucaristía y que no tengan vergüenza de tomar una cerveza o comer pizza el fin de semana con los amigos.

Necesitamos santos a los que les guste el cine, el teatro, la música, la danza, el deporte.

Necesitamos santos sociables, abiertos, normales, amigos, alegres, compañeros.

Necesitamos santos que estén en el mundo y que sepan saborear las cosas puras y buenas del mundo, pero sin ser mundanos".

Esos tenemos que ser nosotros!!!

Happy Father's Day

Today we pray in a special way for all our Father's and those who have a paternal role in our lives. Enjoy the celebrations.
St Joseph intercede for all Father's today.
We give our thanks, Creator God, for the fathers in our lives.
Fatherhood does not come with a manual, and reality teaches us that some fathers excel while others fail.
We ask for Your blessings for them all and forgiveness where it is needed.
This Father's Day we remember the many sacrifices fathers make for their children and families, and the ways--both big and small--they lift children to achieve dreams thought beyond reach.
So too, we remember all those who have helped fill the void when fathers pass early or are absent; grandfathers and uncles, brothers and cousins, teachers, pastors and coaches and the women of our families.
For those who are fathers, we ask for wisdom and humility in the face of the task of parenting. Give them the strength to do well by their children and by You.
In Your Holy name, O God, we pray.
Amen.
Prayer by: Rev. Chuck Currie

Say the Hail, Holy Queen and add: St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, pray for us . Amen
