PASTORAL COLUMN
�
Dear parishioners of St. Elizabeth, St. Leonard, and
Our Lady of Victory,
In a speech this past Monday Pope Francis spoke
strongly in favor of Covid vaccination as the most
reasonable solution for saving lives and the prevention
of the disease. I believe Pope Francis is very much in the
same vein as the “wise men” of our recent feast of
Epiphany….the astrologers who prayed and “followed the
science” to find the Christ Child. Their faith was
enlightened by their study and knowledge of the stars in
the night sky. They were not swayed by conspiracy
theories against Jesus; they were not duped by the
corrupt politics of wicked King Herod. From the
beginning, Pope Francis has said that to get vaccinated
is the loving thing to do. Love is the greatest
commandment. To get fully vaccinated (unless medically
unadvisable, of course) is a loving deed for yourself and
all others. Those who have become seriously ill and
those who have died are a stark reminder, as is the
highly contagious nature of the current variant. Let us
follow the star of both faith and good science…. Let us
love one another as He has loved us...love is still the
greatest gift. Our love includes our continued good care
of the sick, wearing masks when appropriate, comforting
all who are grieving the loss of loved ones, and our
patient endurance of short term inconveniences brought
by protocol and best advised practices to help see us
through this time. God bless and guide us all! Fr. Alan
Queridos feligreses de Santa Isabel, San Leonard y
Nuestra Señora de la Victoria,
En un discurso el pasado lunes, el Papa Francisco se
pronunció con fuerza a favor de la vacunación contra el
Covid como la solución más razonable para salvar vidas
y prevenir la enfermedad. Creo que el Papa Francisco
está en la misma línea que los "sabios" de nuestra
reciente fiesta de la Epifanía... los astrólogos que
rezaron y "siguieron la ciencia" para encontrar al Niño
Jesús. Su fe fue iluminada por su estudio y conocimiento
de las estrellas en el cielo nocturno. No se dejaron influir
por teorías de conspiración contra Jesús; no fueron
engañados por la política corrupta del malvado rey
Herodes. Desde el principio, el Papa Francisco ha dicho
que vacunarse es algo amoroso. El amor es el
mandamiento más grande. Vacunarse por completo (a
menos que sea médicamente desaconsejable, por
supuesto) es un acto de amor para usted y para todos
los demás. Los que se han enfermado gravemente y los
que han muerto son un claro recordatorio, al igual que la
naturaleza altamente contagiosa de la variante actual.

pérdida de seres queridos, y nuestra paciente
resistencia a los inconvenientes a corto plazo

StEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
“To each individual the manifesta�on of the Spirit is
given for some benefit” (1 Corinthians 12:7).�
�
St. Paul tells us that God has blessed each of us for a
reason. How has God blessed you? Are you using your
giPs according to God’s plan? How are you helping to
build God’s kingdom here on earth? Remember that if
you don’t do the work God planned for you, no one
else can do it. Live the life God has intended for you.
Take �me to discern your charisms (giPs from the Holy
Spirit). Experience the supernatural peace and joy God
desires for each of us.
