A call for help |

Through God's eyes: Never are we more needy than when we have too much to give. Never
will we be more filled than when we have given it all we have.
Volunteer opportunities
Driving instructor needed:
One of our parishioners is in need of someone to teach
her how to drive. She is not a complete novice but needs practice
behind the wheel and instruction in Maine driving laws. It would only
take an hour or so each week. For more information, please contact
Penny Stevens, 780-6750.
Parish Commissions:
Various commissions of lay volunteers serve our parish community.
Parishioners with special skills enjoy providing their skills for the
good of the community. Consider volunteering for the work of one of
the commissions. Information about these are provided on the "Activities
of the People" Web page.
Our Food Pantry Parishioners are
needed to contribute food and personal supplies to assist those in
need, and to give us ideas about increasing our resources.
Here's a
shopping/inventory list that can be printed.
Coffee Hour: The socials after the 9:45 and
12:15 Masses are important weekly events in the life of our community family.
For details about how you can help, please speak to anyone in the kitchen on
Sunday morning, or just bring a little snack with you to share like you might
to any family gathering, and help clean up in the same way. The Parish Life
Commission provides the hospitality, and welcomes help from everyone.
Furniture and household supplies:
Our parish neighborhood is very often a neighborhood of new beginnings
for immigrant and refugee families. If you have furniture or household
supplies to pass on, please check with the Parish Office to see if
someone is in need of them.
Singers / Musicians:
If you are a singer and would like to join the choir, see the music
director. Instrumentalists of varying skill levels are also welcomed.
A brief audition may be requested. Talk to Suzanne Proulx after any 9:45 a.m.
mass. Rehearsals begin at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday for the 9:45 a.m. mass.
Ongoing list of volunteers:
The
Parish Life Commission has a list of volunteers for
occasional commitments to help others in need. To be added to this
list, please contact Maggie in the Parish Office. Maggie can be reached between 8:15
a.m. and 12:15 p.m. on weekdays, 772-6182, or by e-mail at

DECIMO
CUARTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO

6 de julio
de 2008
-
-
¡Bienvenidos
a todos quienes celebran la fe con nosotros aquí en la
Iglesia Sagrado Corazón! Demos la bienvenida
especialmente a los que lleguen por primera vez.
-
-
RECURSOS – La
colecta de todas las misas del domingo pasado fue
$2387.13. ¡Muchas gracias! También para hacerles
recordar de la campaña del obispo para las caridades de la
diócesis como son Catholic Charities y muchos otros. Si
puede donar, favor ponerlo en un sobre con las palabras
“Campaña del Obispo.”

Celebrando Nuestra Fe
-
Dios se ha
manifestado a nosotros, nos ama y nos da la salvación.
Solo basta apreciar la naturaleza para darnos cuenta de la
presencia de un ser superior.
-
En nuestras
familias, desde pequeños, nos han dado algún conocimiento
de Dios como el Ser Supremo.”Pórtate bien; si no, Dios te
va a castigar,” suelen decir los padres a los hijos para
corregirlos. Y así, hemos ido asumiendo una imagen
equivocada de Dios como el castigador.
-
Dios no
castiga ni asusta, sino que nos perdona y nos ama.
-
-
-
-
-
-
Las lecturas
de hoy empiezan en la página 102 del misal y la
profesión de fe en la página 18-19.
-
-
Agradecemos a
todos quienes han colaborado para que la celebración de la
Primera Comunión y la Confirmación fuera un evento muy
lindo. Gracias por su presencia, la comida, y sus voces
en los cantos. También agradecemos a los padres y los
padrinos quienes acompañan a estos jóvenes en su caminar
cristiano.
-
-
Felicitemos a
las familias de John Paul Dubón y de Elva
Guevara, quienes fueron bautizados la semana pasada.
Que Dios les acompañe en su caminar en la fe junto con
sus familias y sus padrinos.
-
-
“El Espíritu de Dios habita
verdaderamente en ustedes.” ¿El Espíritu está
conduciéndole o a un conocido hacia el servicio
ministerial? Si Dios está llamándole, comuníquese con el
Padre Andrew Dubois (869-2033) o escribe al correo
electrónico
vocations@portlanddiocese.net
-
-
El 12 y 13 de
julio, las hermanas Dominicanas venderán pan y pasteles
después de las misas. Lo que ganan de estas ventas ayudan
a comprar lo que necesitan para sus misiones que atienden
a las personas con lepra.
-
-
-
El domingo,
27 de julio, a la 1:30 p.m., se presentará el taller
“Protegiendo a los Niños de Dios”. La diócesis
exige que todo voluntario que trabaja con niños o adultos
vulnerables asista a uno de estos talleres. También es
valioso para padres de familia.
-
-
El paseo de verano
esta programado para el
sábado, 19 de julio, de 10 a.m. a 4 p.m., en la
playa de Crescent Beach. ¡Piensen en lo que quieren llevar
de plato para compartir!
-
-
El 14 de
septiembre es el paseo de toda la parroquia al parque
de Two Lights. ¡Marque su calendario!
-
-
COLECTA DE ALIMENTOS -
En este tiempo de verano, hay más personas
quienes llegan a la parroquia porque carecen de suficiente
comida. Si tienen algo que puede ofrecer, se puede
dejarlo en las canastas que se encuentra en la entrada de
la iglesia los domingos.
Las horas de la alacena son de 9:30-12:00
el día martes durante el verano.

El Reino
pertenece a los pobres y a los pequeños, es decir a los
que lo acogen con un corazón humilde…Jesús, desde el
pesebre hasta la cruz comparte la vida de los pobres;
conoce el hambre, la sed y la privación. Aún más: se
identifica con los pobres de todas clases y hace del amor
activo hacia ellos la condición para entrar en su Reino.

“Vengan a
mi, todos los que están fatigados y agobiados por la
carga, y yo los aliviaré.”
-
Mt 11,
25-30
-
-
El Evangelio de hoy
empieza con una alabanza de Jesús a su Padre.
El está más cerca del Padre que nadie que
haya vivido o que vivirá. De hecho, él es uno con el
padre. Jesús es Dios y hombre.
-
El evangelio también nos
invita a llevar nuestras preocupaciones a Jesús para
encontrar la paz. Su presencia en nuestras vidas aligera
nuestras cargas.
-
Jesús nos asegura que él es
"manso y humilde de corazón". Esta gentileza no es
debilidad, sino la fuerza de aceptarnos como somos, así
como la fuerza que nos ayuda y nos salva. Jesús nos dice
que debemos ser como él en su gentileza y humildad. Esto
no quiere decir ser débil. Quiere decir ser paciente y
respetar a los demás, ser un pacificador, como lo fue
Jesús. Quiere decir aceptar a los demás como son y
tratar de ayudarlos a ser mejores.
La sencillez no es falta de
inteligencia pero es un don del Espíritu que nos deja
abierto a lo que Dios quiere revelar.

una persona sencilla? ¿De qué manera fue Jesús una
