Saint Joseph Church Mission Statement

We, the people of Saint Joseph Church, by the grace of God, born again in the waters of Baptism, seek to create a

community where our mutual faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior, encourages us to continue growing as disciples. We believe that discipleship is a way of life. We strive to show

that we are committed disciples, eager to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and comfort the bereaved. Inspired by God’s word and nourished by the Eucharist, we pledge ourselves to active discipleship all for

God’s greater glory and honor.

comprometidos, deseosos de dar la bienvenida al extranjero, alimentar al hambriento, abrigar al desprotegido y confortar al afligido. Inspirados en la palabra de Dios y alimentados

SOMOS RESPONSABLES POR LOS DEMÁS El Concilio Vaticano II nos ha llamado a imaginar la Iglesia como el pueblo de Dios. Como una comunidad de cre-yentes somos responsables por nuestros hermanos, por su salvación, su peregrinar en la fe, su bienestar físico. Muchos de los documentos del Concilio y volúmenes de trabajos desde mediados de la década del 60 nos dan consejos, guías y áni-mo para ayudarnos unos a otros: a los pobres, a los ancia-nos, a los no nacidos, a los quebrantados, a los enfermos. Porque el Concilio Vaticano II es parte de nuestra re-ciente historia –sin duda muchos de nosotros ya habíamos nacido– esto nos puede parecer una idea nueva y revolucio-naria. Pero las lecturas de hoy nos muestran que las enseñan-zas sobre justicia social han existido siempre. Ochocientos años antes de nacer Cristo, Amós advirtió a los ricos que no engañaran a los pobres. En la primera carta de Pablo a Ti-moteo, él insiste en que todas las oraciones sean por todos; y finalmente, el Evangelio enfatiza la importancia de usar sa-biamente el dinero.Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor nunca se olvida del pecado de los que hacen trampa a los pobres y abusan de ellos (Amós 8:4-7). Salmo — Que alaben al Señor todos sus siervos (Salmo 113 [112]). Segunda lectura — Reza al Señor, que quiere que todos se salven (1 Timoteo 2:1-8). Evangelio — Sé responsable en todo. No pueden ustedes ser-vir a Dios y al dinero (Lucas 16:1-13).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Prov 3:27-34; Sal 15 (16):2-5; Lc 8:16-18 Martes: Prov 21:1-6, 10-13; Sal 119 (118):1, 27, 30, 34, 35, 44; Lc 8:19-21 Miércoles: Ef 4:1-7, 11-13; Sal 19 (18):2-5; Mt 9:9-13 Jueves: Ecl 1:2-11; Sal 90 (90):3-6, 12-14, 17bc; Lc 9:7-9 Viernes:Ecl 3:1-11; Sal 144 (143):1b, 2abc, 3-4; Lc 9:18-22 Sábado: Ecl 11:9 — 12:8; Sal 90 (89):3-6, 12-14, 17; Lc 9:43b-45 Domingo: Am 6:1a, 4-7; Sal 146 (145):7-10; 1 Tim 6:11-16; Lc 16:19-31

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES

Domingo: Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario; Domingo Catequético Lunes: San Jenaro Martes: Santos Andrés Kim Tae-gŏn, Paul Chŏng Ha-sang y compañeros Miércoles: San Mateo, apóstol y evangelista Jueves: Inicio del Otoño Viernes: San Pío de Pietralcina (Padre Pío) Sábado: Santa María Virgen

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR OTHERS The Second Vatican Council has called us to envision the Church as the people of God. As a community of believers we are responsible for our brothers and sisters, their salvation, their journey of faith, their physical well-being. Many of the documents of Vatican II and volumes of work since the mid-1960s give us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to take care of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn, the bro-ken, the infirm. Because Vatican II is part of our recent history—indeed many of us were already born—this may strike us as a new and revolutionary idea. But today’s readings show us the age-lessness of the issue of social justice. Eight hundred years before Christ was born, Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat the poor. In Paul’s first letter to Timothy, he encourages all prayers to be for all people; and finally, the Gospel urges the wise use of money. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The Lord never forgets the sins of those who take advantage of the poor (Amos 8:4-7). Psalm — Praise the Lord who lifts up the poor (Psalm 113). Second Reading —Pray to the Lord, who wants everyone to be saved (1 Timothy 2:1-8). Gospel — Be trustworthy in all things. Serve God, the only master, not mammon (Luke 16:1-13 [10-13]).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Prv 3:27-34; Ps 15:2-5; Lk 8:16-18 Tuesday: Prv 21:1-6, 10-13; Ps 119:1, 27, 30, 34, 35, 44; Lk 8:19-21 Wednesday: Eph 4:1-7, 11-13; Ps 19:2-5; Mt 9:9-13 Thursday: Eccl 1:2-11; Ps 90:3-6, 12-14, 17bc; Lk 9:7-9 Friday: Eccl 3:1-11; Ps 144:1b, 2abc, 3-4; Lk 9:18-22 Saturday: Eccl 11:9 — 12:8; Ps 90:3-6, 12-14, 17; Lk 9:43b-45 Sunday: Am 6:1a, 4-7; Ps 146:7-10; 1 Tm 6:11-16; Lk 16:19-31
