Pope Francis’ Intentions for September The Blessed Mother-The Immaculate Conception

Respect for the Planet's Resources We pray that the Mary is not God who has neither beginning nor end. planet's resources will not be plundered, but shared Mary is not an angel created by God. Mary is not in a just and respectful manner. Respeto de los recursos del planeta.

El Santo Padre Pedrito-the Lost Missionary Who is Father Pedrito KERALUM? Father Keralum was born on March 2, 1817. He was born in Quimper, Brittany, France. If you think of the map of Texas, Quimper is exactly where El Paso is situated. The only thing is the town borders on the Atlantic Ocean. He was ordained a priest by the Founder of the Oblates, St. Eugene de MAZENOD. (1852). This was the time of the founding of the missions in south Texas.

En esta reflexión de Papa Francisco sobre la vida sacerdotal, el Santo Padre habla de María la Madre de Jesús.

Es imposible hablar de gratitud y animo sin contemplar a María. Ella, mujer de corazón traspasado, nos ensena la alabanza capaz de abrir la mirada al fruto y devolver la esperanza al presente. Toda su vida quedo condensada en su canto de alabanza que también somos invita- dos a entonar como promesa de plenitud. Ruega por los sacerdotes, por favor.

De la carta del papa Francisco; el 4 de agosto, 2019 St. Thomas Habra Misa todos los miercoles a las 7 pm comenzando media hora antes para rezar el Rosario. Los esperamos.

FORGIVENESS Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again. Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father motioned his son to him and whis- pered: “Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from loving you?” Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the commandments. As St. Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord. Jesus’ parable in today’s reminds us of God’s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way.
