Beloved Parishioners,

As we come to the end of this month my reflection in this Pastor’s Corner is centered on Faith. My prayer is that God increases our faith in him that we do not doubt his power in our lives.

“Faith is being sure about what we hope for, and certain about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1).

Beloved Parishioners,

I conclude my reflection started last week on our missionary identity. As I mentioned in last week’s Pastor’s Corner and during the Masses, beginning in September we will embark on an evangelization process in our parish.

Beloved Parishioners,

In the last two weeks I said in all the Masses that beginning from the month of September we would embark on missionary outreach and evangelization in our parish.

Beloved Parishioners,

I reflect with you “who is my neighbor”. This theme appeared in Luke’s gospel passages we read a few weeks ago. In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus responds to a lawyer’s question — “Who is my neighbor?” — with one of the most unsettling and revolutionary stories in all of Scripture: the parable of the Good Samaritan.

Beloved Parishioners,

Have you ever considered that your baptism was not just a ceremony, but a consecration—a setting apart for something sacred? Today, beloved parishioners, I wish to draw our hearts to this powerful truth, namely: that we are a people consecrated to prayer. This consecration began the day we were plunged into the waters of Baptism.
