STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 23 / REFLEXIÓN DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA LA SEMANA DEL 23 DE AGOSTO It is reported in the Old Testament Books of Exodus and Numbers that Joshua succeeded Moses as the leader of the Israelites. In fact, Joshua is explained as Moses’ assistant, while Moses himself led the Israelites. Our First Reading today from the Book of Joshua recounts how, under Joshua, the Israelites renewed their Covenant with God. For those who practice stewardship as a way of life, both renewal and covenant are significant. We speak of conversion in relation to the commitments we make to live as God-centered and loving people. Yet, there are times when it is important to personally renew our promises to God and to make a new covenant with the Lord. Many parishes have an annual stewardship renewal during which people are given the opportunity to “renew” their involvements in prayer, in ministry, and in giving through the offertory. These “renewals” may involve a commitment or pledge card. This is what has occurred in the Church for centuries. It is vital that we revisit our assurances to the Lord. As Joshua addresses the people in today’s reading, he states, “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” This quote is relatively familiar in the Christian world. Yet, this is exactly the kind of pledge and covenant each of us needs to make. Read more at www.thecatholicsteward.com. Se ha informado en los libros del Antiguo Testamento en Éxodo y Números que Josué supero a Moisés como el líder de los israelitas. De hecho, Josué se explica como ayudante de Moisés, mientras que el propio Moisés condujo a los israelitas. Nuestra primera lectura de hoy del libro de Josué relata cómo, bajo Josué, los israelitas renovaron su alianza con Dios. Para los que practican la corresponsabilidad como una forma de vida, tanto la renovación y como la alianza son significativos. Hablamos de la conversión en relación con los compromisos que hacemos para vivir como personas centradas en Dios y de amor. Sin embargo, hay ocasiones en que es importante renovar personalmente nuestras promesas a Dios y hacer un nuevo pacto con el Señor. Muchas parroquias tienen una renovación anual de la corresponsabilidad durante el cual las personas se les da la oportunidad de “renovar” sus implicaciones en la oración, en el ministerio, y en dar a través del ofertorio. Estas “renovaciones” pueden implicar un compromiso o tarjeta de compromiso. Esto es lo que ha ocurrido en la Iglesia durante siglos. Es vital que revisemos nuestras garantías al Señor. Como Josué se dirige al pueblo en la lectura de hoy, afirma, “En cuanto a mí y mi casa serviremos al SEÑOR.” Esta cita es relativamente conocida en el mundo cristiano. Sin embargo, esto es exactamente el tipo de promesa y el pacto que cada uno de nosotros tiene que hacer. Puede leer más en www.thecatholicsteward.com.

fr. Salvador Landa

Dear Parishioners and Friends of Our Lady of Fatima,/ Queridos parroquianos y amigos de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, ◆◆

Visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima

I visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima for the first time nine years ago. As a child I became familiar with the apparitions of Our Lady to Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia, three shepherds from a small village called Fatima in Portugal on May 13, 1917. Visiting the Basilica was a beautiful experience for me. Every day at 5pm people gather to pray the rosary which is recited and sung in many languages. I was impressed to see many pilgrims from all over the world who were sick in beds or wheelchairs. They were asking God, through the intercession of Our Lady, for healing. I remember feeling in a strong way the presence of God and the faith of the people. At the end of September I will be traveling with 28 people to Portugal in a pilgrimage. I would like to invite the parishioners of Our Lady of Fatima to write a petition to Our Lady. In your petition you may ask for healing or for any favor. I will take those prayers to Fatima and present them to Our Lady on October 1 as I celebrate the Eucharist. Please turn in prayers at the rectory. Before we go to Fatima we will be visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Lourdes in France. I promise that I will pray for all of you at the Grotto where Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette. As we make this 12-day pilgrimage, I will try to send some pictures for the newsletter. ◆◆ Visitando la Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Fatima Hace nueve años que visité la Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Fátima. De niño conocí la historia de las apariciones de la Virgen a Jacinta, Francisco y Lucia, tres pastorcitos de una pueblito llamado Fátima en Portugal, el 13 de mayo de 1917. Fué muy especial visitar este santuario mariano. Todos los días a las 5pm la gente se reune para el Rosario que se recita y canta en varios idiomas. Me impresionó bastante ver mucha gente enferma, en camillas o sillas de ruedas que piden a Dios la sanación, bajo la intercession de la Virgen María. Estos peregrinos viajan de diferentes partes del mundo. En ese santuario sentí una gran presencia de Dios y una fe muy fuerte de los peregrinos. En septiembre llevo a 28 peregrinos a conocer el Santuario de Fátima. Invito a los feligreses de nuestra parroquia a que escriban una petición y que la entreguen en la oficina. Yo voy a llevar esas peticiones a la Basilica de Fátima para ponerlas al pie del altar y voy a pedir por todos ustedes al celebrar la Santa Misa el primero de octubre. También visitaremos el Santuario de Lourdes en Francia, donde se le apareció la Virgen a Santa Bernardita en 1858 en una gruta. Les prometo que también vamos a presentar sus oraciones en ese lugar. Voy a mandar fotos para que salgan en el boletín y asi conozcan más de nuestra peregrinación.

FOR FURTHER REFLECTION/PAR A MÁS REFLEXIÓN Letting go

Dejar ir

Israel’s expectations of God and their long-awaited messiah prevented many from seeing how God was now present to them in Jesus. Jesus set a choice before the people of Israel – do they leave or stay and accept Jesus’ invitation to believe in what he offers them, his body and blood. The same choice is before us. Believing in Jesus requires us to let go of our previous expectations of God allowing him to act in a whole new way in our lives. However, believing is more than a verbal assent. It must become the lived conviction of choosing to stay with and in the risen Christ modeling his life of self-sacrificing love.

Las expectativas de Israel hacia Dios y su larga espera del mesías impidió a muchos de ver cómo Dios estaba ahora presente con ellos en Jesús. Jesús estableció una elección ante el pueblo de Israel - que salgan o se queden y acepten la invitación de Jesús a creer en lo que él les ofrece, su cuerpo y su sangre. La misma opción está ante nosotros. Creer en Jesús nos obliga a dejar de lado nuestras expectativas anteriores de Dios que permiten actuar de una forma totalmente nueva en nuestra vida. Sin embargo, la creencia es más que un asentimiento verbal. Debe convertirse en la convicción vivida de la elección de quedarse con y en Cristo resucitado como modelo de su vida sacrificada por amor.

◆◆ What choices have you made in our life that point to your conviction in Jesus as the “Holy One of God”?

◆◆ ¿Qué opciones has hecho en nuestra vida que apuntan a tu convicción en Jesús como el “Santo de Dios”?

◆◆ How does participation in the Eucharist deepen your conviction to live as a follower of the risen Christ?

◆◆ ¿De qué manera la participación en la Eucaristía profundiza tu convicción a vivir como un seguidor de Cristo resucitado?

The new school year begins on September 1.

Why OLF School? A Family’s Reason We have been a part of the Fatima family for 10 years. Our son graduated two years ago and our daughter is entering 7th grade. From the first day I walked onto the campus at Our Lady of Fatima, I knew it was a special place and I have grown to love it more with each year. We were confident that our son was prepared academically when he started high school - he was given a strong background in math, science, writing, and critical thinking. But equally important, we knew he was prepared to enter high school as a caring and compassionate young adult. OLF teaches our children that the world is larger than their own experiences and that we all have a responsibility to think of others and help those in need both in our community and in the world. Our Lady of Fatima is a place where the teachers, staff and families know and love each other, and always go the extra step to help the children succeed. We have made lifelong friends at OLF and are truly blessed to be part of this community.

Annual Giving Campaign Update Due to the generosity of the school and parishioners of our community we have reached our goal of $50,000 in honor of the school’s 50th Anniversary! Thank you so very much. May God continue to bless all of us as we continue to “Empower today’s students to become tomorrow’s leaders”
