A Toast to Life!/¡Brindemos por la vida!

[vc_row css=".vc_custom_1779824802562{background-color: #BF032C !important;}"][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=""] Let’s Toast to Life! I’m sitting at the airport in Dallas, Texas, working my way back to North Carolina after spending a week in what will be by next assignment in New Mexico. I’m sitting in an airport restaurant sipping wine, listening to music, and thinking of all of you. Thinking that I will soon leave St. Julia. I’m panicking because I realize that I have to travel next week again to our provincial chapter and I still have to pack. I haven’t even begun to pack!!! I know I have to do it and I know that I will do it, but I also know that while I pack, my departure will become even more real to me. Not an easy thing for me,...

A Jewel in the Making /Una joya en formación

[vc_row css=".vc_custom_1778273803896{background-color: #FFCED4 !important;}"][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=""] A Jewel in the Making I want to thank you, the good people of St. Julia, for your generosity during the first collection in restoring the tabernacle and finishing the interior of the church. With this week’s second collection we will be able to accomplish our goal. Thank you so much! As you can see this weekend, the new carpeting has been installed on the sanctuary floor, and the baldacchino has been installed. There remains a number of other elements that still need to be done. As they become available, we will do so. I hope that you will enjoy the process as everything comes together. This project will come to its completion because of all of us. This is the community’s work in creating a...

St. Francis of Assisi and St. Julia / San Francisco de Asís y Santa Julia

St. Francis of Assisi and St. Julia These are the two other images that will adorn our sanctuary soon. St. Francis of Assisi, the man of God and of the poor. And St. Julia, our patroness. The St. Francis image is the one that the parish community voted for the most. I chose this image of St. Julia because it shows her on the cross. She was crucified by the man who she refused for the sake of her honor and faith. Rarely do we see a woman on a cross. St. Julia is a powerful intercessor, as I have come to experience during my eight years here. Many have been the prayers granted through her intercession. It is my hope that you will come to experience the...

Peace Paz

Peace To speak on behalf of peace and to condemn war is what decent people do. To stand up for peace and to put the authors of war in their place is the work of courageous descent people. To be a voice for peace is to be Christian. To be a voice for peace has never been easy and blessed are they, as Jesus said. So now, politicians are condemning the Pope’s words on behalf of peace because they don’t like it. Well, why don’t they like it? Why wouldn’t people of good will like when a spiritual leader speaks up for the good of humanity? What’s wrong with that? And why do they consider it political? The defensiveness that we’re witnessing is absolutely absurd. It’s easy to see through it to the...
