2 Page 2 ST. RITA CATHOLIC CHURCH, DADE CITY, September August 26, 2, 2018 Qué es la evangelización? LA EVANGELIZACION "Id y haced discípulos a todas las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo, enseñándoles a guardar todo lo que os he mandado". Mt 28: 19-2 La forma más sencilla de decir lo que significa la evangelización es seguir al Papa Pablo VI, cuyo mensaje en Evangelii Nuntiandi (Sobre la evangelización en el mundo moderno) ha inspirado tanto pensamiento y actividad reciente en la Iglesia. Podemos reformular sus palabras para decir que evangelizar significa traer las Buenas Nuevas de Jesús a cada situación humana y buscar convertir a los individuos y la sociedad por el poder divino del Evangelio mismo. En esencia, es la proclamación de la salvación en Jesucristo y la respuesta de una persona en la fe, que son ambas obras del Espíritu de Dios. La evangelización debe estar siempre conectada directamente con el Señor Jesucristo. "No hay verdadera evangelización si el nombre, la enseñanza, la vida, las promesas, el Reino y el misterio de Jesús de Nazaret, el Hijo de Dios no son proclamados. Por qué evangelizamos? Debemos evangelizar porque el Señor Jesús nos ordenó hacerlo. Dio a la Iglesia la tarea interminable de evangelizar como un poder inquieto, para estimular y estimular todas sus acciones hasta que todas las naciones hayan escuchado sus Buenas Nuevas y hasta que cada persona se haya convertido en su discípulo. El Señor nos ordenó evangelizar porque la salvación se ofrece a cada persona en él. Más que una figura sagrada o un profeta, Jesús es la Palabra de Dios, la "huella misma" de Dios, el poder y la sabiduría de Dios. Él es nuestro Salvador, al hacerse semejante a nosotros y aceptar nuestra naturaleza humana, aborda en sí mismo, en su muerte y resurrección, el quebrantamiento de nuestras vidas. Él sufre a través de nuestro pecado; él siente nuestro dolor; él acepta los límites de nuestra vida humana para que pueda llevarnos más allá de esos límites. "El se humilló a sí mismo, llegando a ser obediente hasta la muerte, incluso la muerte en una cruz. Debido a esto, Dios lo exaltó grandemente!...". Asumiendo la muerte como el Salvador, Jesús resucitó. En Cristo, todos podemos llegar a saber que el pecado, la frialdad, la indiferencia, la desesperación y la duda de nuestras vidas son superadas por el hecho de que Dios asume nuestra naturaleza humana y nos conduce a una nueva vida. En él, y solo en él, está la promesa de la resurrección y la nueva vida. Cómo evangelizamos? A traves del testimonio de la fe y difundiendo las Buena Nuevasde Jesús de una manera explícita. Realmente no podemos hablar sobre la vida "ordinaria" de la Iglesia porque todo es el don del Espíritu Santo. Sin embargo, hay maneras familiares por las cuales sucede la evangelización: por la forma en que vivimos el amor de Dios en nuestra vida diaria; por el amor, el ejemplo y el apoyo que las personas se dan entre sí; por la forma en que los padres transmiten la fe a sus hijos; en nuestra vida como Iglesia, a través de la proclamación de la Palabra y la celebración incondicional de las obras salvadoras de Jesús; en esfuerzos de renovación de alcance local y nacional; en el cuidado que mostramos a los más necesitados; y en la forma en que hacemos nuestro trabajo, compartimos con nuestros vecinos y tratamos al extraño. En la vida diaria, los miembros de la familia se evangelizan entre sí; hombres y mujeres, sus futuros cónyuges; y los trabajadores, sus compañeros de trabajo, por las simples vidas de fe que lideran. A través de nuestra vida católica, el Espíritu Santo produce conversión y una nueva vida en Cristo. Aquí, hay dos elementos en funcionamiento: el testimonio, que es la vida simple de la fe; y compartir, que es difundir las Buenas Nuevas de Jesús de una manera explícita.

No habrá adoración eucarística o oración vespertina el lunes 3 de septiembre. En observación de Labor Day.

3 Page 3 September August 26, 2, 2018 FROM THE Dear friends: In PRIESTS DESK today's gospel, it begins with a controversy between Jesus and a group of Pharisees and lawyers of the law. The latter s question Jesus because his disciples do not wash their hands before eating. Which for us today is a necessary hygiene measure. But the real problem is between the tradition, what we have always done in life and the true worship of God. Jesus has the audacity to denounce the pitfalls of any religion, which clings to the pious observance above the passionate search for the will of God. What Jesus wants to tell us is that there can be no interest that goes against love and harms people. That is why honoring God with the heart is celebrating with joy the encounter with Jesus and his word of life, not resisting the conversion and not forgetting our mission to build a world according to the Heart of God. Your brother in Christ, F. Carlos J. Borgos Del Escritorio Queridos Del Sacerdote amigos: en el evangelio de hoy, comienza con una controversia entre Jesús y un grupo de fariseos y letrados de la ley. Estos últimos cuestionan a Jesús porque sus discípulos no se lavan las manos antes de comer. Lo cual para nosotros hoy, es una medida de higiene necesaria. Pero el verdadero problema es entre la tradición, lo que siempre hemos hecho, lo de toda la vida y el verdadero culto a Dios. Jesús tiene la audacia de denunciar las trampas de cualquier religión, que se aferra a la observancia piadosa por encima de la búsqueda apasionada de la voluntad de Dios. Lo que Jesús quiere decirnos, es que no puede existir ningún interés que vaya en contra del amor y haga danos a las personas. Por eso honrar a Dios con el Corazón es celebrar con alegría el encuentro con Jesús y su palabra de vida, no resistirnos a la conversión y no olvidar nuestra misión de construir un mundo según el Corazón de Dios. Su hno. en Cristo. P Carlos j Borgos.

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." Mt 28: The simplest way to say what evangelization means is to follow Pope Paul VI, whose message Evangelii Nuntiandi (On Evangelization in the Modern World) has inspired so much recent thought and activity in the Church. We can rephrase his words to say that evangelizing means bringing the Good News of Jesus into every human situation and seeking to convert individuals and society by the divine power of the Gospel itself. At its essence are the proclamation of salvation in Jesus Christ and the response of a person in faith, which are both works of the Spirit of God. Evangelization must always be directly connected to the Lord Jesus Christ. "There is no true evangelization if the name, the teaching, the life, the promises, the Kingdom and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God are not proclaimed. Why Do We Evangelize? We must evangelize because the Lord Jesus commanded us to do so. He gave the Church the unending task of evangelizing as a restless power, to stir and to stimulate all its actions until all nations have heard his Good News and until every person has become his disciple. The Lord commanded us to evangelize because salvation is offered to every person in him. More than a holy figure or a prophet, Jesus is God's Word, God's "very imprint," the power and wisdom of God. He is our Savior. Becoming like us and accepting our human nature, he addresses in himself, in his death and resurrection, the brokenness of our lives. He suffers through our sin; he feels our pain; he knows the thirst of our death; he accepts the limits of our human life so that he might bring us beyond those limits. "[H]e humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted him!..." Taking on our death as Savior, Jesus was raised to life. In Christ, all can come to know that the sin, the coldness, the indifference, the despair, and the doubt of our lives are overcome by God's taking on our human nature and leading us to new life. In him, and him alone, is the promise of resurrection and new life. How Do We Evangelize? We cannot really talk about the "ordinary" life of the Church because all of it is the graced gift of the Holy Spirit. Yet there are familiar ways by which evangelization happens: by the way we live God's love in our daily life; by the love, example, and support people give each other; by the ways parents pass faith on to their children; in our life as Church, through the proclamation of the Word and the wholehearted celebration of the saving deeds of Jesus; in renewal efforts of local and national scope; in the care we show to those most in need; and in the ways we go about our work, share with our neighbors, and treat the stranger. In daily life, family members evangelize each other; men and women, their future spouses; and workers, their fellow employees, by the simple lives of faith they lead. Through the ordinary patterns of our Catholic life, the Holy Spirit brings about conversion and a new life in Christ. Here, there are two elements at work: witness, which is the simple living of the faith; and sharing, which is spreading the Good News of Jesus in an explicit way.

Call Sue Richardson snbr1971@yahoo.com Perinatal Comfort Care of Tampa, providing comfort and support to families who receive a poor prenatal diagnosis, is now a ministry of Catholic Charities Diocese of St. Petersburg. When a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis is made, parents are devastated and often receive a recommendation to terminate their pregnancy. Given little information or support in making their decision, many choose to abort their baby. In reality, there is no continuum of care for families who choose to continue their pregnancy. As a pro-life ministry, Perinatal ComfortCare is dedicated to walking a journey of a lifetime with these families. This ministry was created as a bridge to help support families who choose to carry despite the diagnosis and to honor and give dignity to their unborn baby.
