STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION/ REFLEXIONES DEL ESPIRITU DE SERVICIO
The Rosary Makers meet the second Wednesday of each month at 9:30 am in the St. John meeting room
in the Family Life Center. The next meeting is scheduled for
March 11, 2020. All are welcome to join us.
ROSARY MAKERS
2nd Sunday of Lent: March 8 That we may learn the difference between what we want and what
we need, trusting that God will provide all that we need. “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s
house to a land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1) God calls all of us to leave behind our old ways and to follow Him,
placing our complete trust in Him. Some of the old ways that we may have to struggle to leave behind might be materialism,
Selfishness, and greed. Yet God promises to show us a new land and a better way to live. Remember what St. Teresa of Calcutta said, “God does not call us to be successful, God calls us to be
faithful.”
2o Domingo de Cuaresma: 8 de Marzo Para que podamos aprender la diferencia entre lo que queremos
y lo que necesitamos, confiando en que Dios nos proporcionara todo lo que necesitamos.
“Vete de la tierra de tus parientes y de la casa de tu padre a una tierra que te mostrare.” (Génesis 12:1)
Dios nos llama a todos a dejar atrás nuestras viejas costumbres y a seguirlo, confiando completamente en El. Algunas de las viejas
costumbres que tendremos que luchar por dejar atrás podrían ser el materialismo, el egoísmo y la codicia. Sin embargo, Dios
promete mostrarnos una nueva tierra y una mejor manera de vivir. Recuerda lo que dijo Santa Teresa de Calcuta: “Dios no los llama
a tener éxito, Dios nos llama a ser fieles.”

Glory to you, O God of our journey! Your love calls us to be your people.
By sharing our many and diverse gifts we share in Your mission.
We ask you, Lord,
to shape us into a community of faith. Nourish us by Your Word and Sacraments, that we may grow into the image of Jesus.
Through the power of your Holy Spirit, and the blessings of our Parish Mission,
heal us that we, in turn, may heal the wounded.
Form us to be instruments of love, justice, and peace in our world;
give us courage to take up our crosses and follow your Son, Jesus;
and then send us out to proclaim Your wonderful works.
Amen
Gloria a ti, ¡Oh Dios de nuestros caminos!
Tu amor nos llama a ser Tu pueblo. Compartiendo nuestros múltiples y diversos dones
compartimos Tu misión.
Te pedimos, Señor, moldearnos en una comunidad de fe.
Aliméntanos de tu palabra y Sacramentos, para que podemos crecer
En la imagen de Jesús.
A través del poder de tu Santo Espíritu, y las bendiciones de nuestra Misión Parroquial,
Sananos para que, a su vez, podamos sanar a los heridos.
Fórmanos para ser instrumentos de tu amor,
Justicia y paz en nuestra mundo, Danos valor para tomar nuestra cruz
y seguir a tu hijo, Jesús; y luego envíanos a proclamar
tus maravillosas obras.
Amen
