Christian Maturity / Madurez Cristiana

Christian Maturity I was a middle school teacher for quite a few years. It’s by a miracle that I still have any hair left on my head. The principal of the school would describe a middle school as “the land of inappropriate responses.” And indeed, it is. Immaturity has the knack in creating inappropriate responses in any circumstance. Middle schoolers taught me that if I can survive them, I can survive a nuclear disaster! Have you ever tried to knock some sense into a middle schooler? Did it leave you feeling that the only words your child heard you say was: “I’m not going to tell you again!” Did you need a couple of Tylenols or a Valium after that experience? You have to understand that at that age...

Thank You! ¡Gracias!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! Dear Good People of St. Julia, I want to thank everyone who worked and contributed to making our Parish Festival a great success. I am so grateful and proud of all of us. In a very special way I want to thank and congratulate Yasmin, who is the leader, motivator, organizer and everything else that is required to create the Parish Festival. From day one, Yasmin has proven to be a great leader and servant of our parish family. I greatly admire her ideas, her organizational skills, commitment, and never tiring attitude. Yasmin, we are very grateful for your service to our community, and we pray that God may bless you with abundant blessings and love. Thank you! Depending on the final count...

Young People Are Awesome Christians

Young People Are Awesome Christians On Sunday, September 7th, Pope Leo will declare that two young men, Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati are saints of the Catholic Church. Carlo died at the age of 15 after a struggle with leukemia and Pier Giorgio died at the age of 24 after contracting poliomyelitis. Both of these young men gave witness of their faith in their unique ways. They are an inspiration and an example for our youth. Their pictures will hang in our church when the church renovations are done. We will share information with you about these two young men. You can pick the printed information at the entrance of the church. As you read you will see that they were normal young men who were...

When the Well Runs Dry / Cuando el Pozo se Seca

When the Well Runs Dry That is the title of a book that was published many years ago. It speaks about those times when we feel spiritually dry without the desire to pray. I’m sure that we have all felt like that at times. Perhaps, many times throughout our lives. It seems like we just don’t have the energy nor the time to pray. We just feel empty. Without the desire to converse with God. Does it mean that there is something wrong with us spiritually? Or that we are weak in faith? Absolutely not! It happens to practically everyone and in some sense, it is natural. You see, we live very busy lives and there’s a lot of energy that goes into everything that we need and...

Pondering / Reflexionando

Pondering It is recorded in the Gospels that Our Blessed Mother pondered many things in her heart. Being the mother of Jesus the adult must have been extremely challenging and heart-breaking for many reasons. Yet we are led to believe that she pondered everything in her heart. Her heart must have been filled with so many wonderings and questions and sorrows together with joy, gratitude, and courage. Above all, she pondered so much and must have worried a lot, like any good mother would who doesn’t fully understand what her child is up to. It must have been difficult to figure Jesus out, don’t you think? Or are you still trapped in fairytales? What is pondering? Well, to put it in simple terms, it means considering and...
