All rights reserved. When my children were school age, my husband and I decided to use TV commercials as teaching moments. What are they trying to sell you? we d ask. How are they trying to get you to want it? Their answers grew as they did. They want you to think you ll be cool. They re showing you that rich people have this and hope you want to be like them. I often learned as much as our children did, and I like to think that, as a result, we were a little less vulnerable to the techniques. A consumer culture like ours depends on making people want more and better than they have. To support it, manufacturers must convince us that this cereal is better than that, this present will fill the void we have experienced, or that our true happiness depends on a brand name, location, degree, or career. Do not conform yourselves to this age, Paul tells us. This age tells us we cannot be whole until we ve achieved or obtained certain things. But Paul reminds us that our goal is not to be formed with (conformation) this age; rather, it lies in changing our form (transformation) with Christ actually changing our mind and heart so we can know and love God ever more deeply. What does changing form look like for the Christian? It looks like loving the enemy, caring for those who have less, gathering at the Eucharistic table, being good stewards of resources and, yes, taking up a cross and following Christ even to death, if necessary. There we will find our joy and our freedom.

ADORACIÓN Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario HACER LA VOLUNTAD DE DIOS El lenguaje de Jeremías al dirigir sus anhelos al Señor diciéndole: Me has seducido, Señor, y me dejé seducer por ti (Jeremías 20:7), indica una relación muy íntima. Es una que el profeta obviamente valora a pesar de los reproches y burlas que le trae. En el Evangelio, Jesús indica un lazo similar con su Padre. A pesar del difícil reto de seguir la voluntad de Dios. Jesús no se detiene. Dejar atrás los cuidados del mundo y los sueños, aunque sea para aceptar el dolor y el sufrimiento, es más que un intercambio justo para hacer la voluntad de Dios. La única manera de hacer la voluntad de Dios es ofrecer todo nuestro ser a Dios. Como san Pablo escribe en la carta a los romanos: No sigan la corriente del mundo en que vivimos, más bien transfórmense por la renovación de su mente (Romanos 12:2a). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura Me sedujiste, Señor, y me dejé seducir por ti (Jeremías 20:7-9). Salmo Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, mi Dios (Salmo 63 [62]). Segunda lectura No se dejen llevar por las cosas del mundo, más bien transfórmense por la renovación de su mente (Romanos 12:1-2). Evangelio Si quieres seguirme, renuncia a ti mismo, carga con tu cruz y sígueme (Mateo 16:21-27). LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Cor 2:1-5; Sal 119 (118):97-102; Lc 4:16-30, ó las lecturas de la Misa Por la santificación del trabajo Martes: 1 Cor 2:10b-16; Sal 145 (144):8-14; Lc 4:31-37 Miércoles: 1 Cor 3:1-9; Sal 33 (32):12-15, 20-21; Lc 4:38-44 Jueves: 1 Cor 3:18-23; Sal 24 (23):1bc-4ab, 5-6; Lc 5:1-11 Viernes: 1 Cor 4:1-5; Sal 37 (36):3-6, 27-28, 39-40; Lc 5:33-39 Sábado: 1 Cor 4:6b-15; Sal 145 (144):17-21; Lc 6:1-5 Domingo: Ez 33:7-9; Sal 95 (94):1-2, 6-9; Rom 13:8-10; Mt 18:15-20 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Más del 40% de la población católica en Estados Unidos es de origen hispano y sólo el 6% de los sacerdotes son hispanos. Hay algo que está mal en las cifras. Parte del problema es que en los seminarios estadounidenses no saben qué hacer con las vocaciones y culturas hispanas. Por otra parte, los hispanos deseamos que nuestros hijos tengan mejor vida y la vocación sacerdotal no constituye un lugar privilegiado en la escala social. Ciertamente, había un tiempo en que los sacerdotes se trataban con mucho respeto, ya no. Últimamente la escasez de sacerdotes y los escándalos en la Iglesia han hecho que el sacerdocio pierda mucho de su encanto. La vida sacerdotal se ha hecho muy difícil. Hoy día el joven que busca el sacerdocio lo busca por servicio y vocación, no por prestigio o posición social. El sacerdocio es un apostolado que se recibe con el sacramento del Orden. Ser ordenado es recibir órdenes, es decir, ser obediente. Hoy más que nunca, el sacerdote está llamado a la misma obediencia de Jesucristo, obediencia que lo llevó a la cruz y a la resurrección. Oremos por nuestros sacerdotes para que su entrega sea total. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

SCHOOL NEWS ST. GREGORY THE GREAT CATHOLIC SCHOOL grades Pre-K 6 Christopher Trott Principal 815-9988 ct@sggcs.org SGGCS IS OFF AND RUNNING...LITERALLY! Students at SGGCS began the school year with their traditional Running of the Halls on the first day. This annual event, started by Sr. Canice when the school first opened in 2007 and continued by Mr. Trott, allows students the one opportunity to run yelling and screaming up and down the halls to begin the school year while parents cheer them on. We then progressed with new friendships being made, attendance at a school Mass and a popsicle party to end the first week.
