Stewardship: The Urgent Call of Jesus Christ
El Llamado Urgente de Jesús
|
|
I have often been struck by one paragraph of the U.S. bishops’ pastoral letter, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response: “Jesus’ call is urgent. He does not tell people to follow him at some time in the future but here and now — at this moment, in these circumstances. There can be no delay” (p. 14). For me, this is a powerful statement that speaks to the practical implications of the call and challenge of discipleship and stewardship.
It is easy to tell ourselves that we will get around to living and growing as a follower of Jesus at some future point in our lives — when we are more settled, our children are older, our jobs are more secure, and so on. In doing so, we delay our response to the Lord’s continual offer of salvation, mercy, forgiveness, and love. We minimize the impact of faith, falling deaf to God’s voice and blind to the needs of others.
To accept the urgent call of Christ is to hear the voice of the Lord, and to respond in the way in which we live now, not in some distant future. Not only this. Christ does not call us in an abstract way, but instead within the particular circumstances of our lives. This is not about some vague and ideal future. It is about making decisions, discerning activities, and carrying out our lives as Christ’s people at home, in our workplace or school, in our parish, our cities and towns, and the in the world.
In this Easter season, we celebrate Christ’s victory over death. We are called again to draw others to the new life that is offered in Jesus Christ. When we hear and respond to Christ’s urgent call, we witness to the profound impact of faith in our lives and we evangelize, drawing others to a deep encounter with our Lord. We do this by stewarding our lives, gifts and blessings, and resources, here and now, in this moment, in the very real circumstances of our lives.

A menudo me he sentido estrujada por un párrafo de la carta pastoral de los obispos de Estados Unidos, Corresponsabilidad: La Respuesta del Discípulo: “El llamado de Jesús es urgente. Él no dice a las personas que le sigan en algún momento en el futuro, sino aquí y ahora – en este momento, en esas circunstancias. No puede haber demora” (p, 14). Para mí esta es una poderosa declaración que habla de las implicaciones reales del llamado y el desafío del discipulado y la corresponsabilidad.
Es fácil decirnos a nosotros mismos que vamos a empezar a vivir y a crecer como seguidores de Jesús en algún momento futuro en nuestras vidas – cuando estemos más establecidos, nuestros hijos sean mayores, nuestro trabajo sea más seguro, y la lista puede continuar. Al hacer esto, demoramos nuestra respuesta al ofrecimiento del Señor de salvación, misericordia, perdón y amor. Minimizamos el impacto de la fe, permaneciendo sordos a la voz de Dios y ciegos a las necesidades de otros.
Aceptar el llamado urgente de Cristo es escuchar la voz del Señor, y responder en la manera en la que vivimos ahora, no en la que viviremos en un futuro lejano. No sólo esto, Cristo no nos llama en una forma abstracta, sino dentro de las circunstancias particulares de nuestra vida. Esto no se trata de un futuro desconocido e ideal. Se trata de tomar decisiones, discernir actividades, y llevar nuestras vidas como personas de Cristo en casa, en nuestro lugar de trabajo o escuela, en nuestra parroquia, en nuestras ciudades y pueblos, y en el mundo.
En este tiempo de Pascua, nosotros celebramos la victoria de Cristo sobre la muerte. Nosotros somos llamados nuevamente a atraer a otros hacia la nueva vida que es ofrecida por Jesucristo. Cuando escuchamos y respondemos al llamado urgente de Cristo, nosotros damos testimonio del profundo impacto de la fe en nuestras vidas y nosotros evangelizamos, atrayendo a otros a un encuentro profundo con el Señor. Hacemos esto al ser corresponsables de nuestras vidas, de nuestros dones y bendiciones, y de nuestros recursos, aquí y ahora, en este preciso momento, en las circunstancias reales de nuestras vidas.

Hospitality & Parish Life
Hospitalidad y vida parroquial
|
|
At the front door of the Serra Center before Mass, serving from a table of treats at a parish celebration, and behind the scenes at many other functions, you’ll find someone greeting you with a smile and a hearty welcome. That person is probably a member of the Hospitality Ministry.
The hospitality ministers focus on transforming our parish community into a place of welcome where all God’s children find acceptance to a loving and caring church community. This service reflects the long-standing Franciscan tradition of meeting God’s people with open hands and an open heart.
|
|
Claudia LaBarge enjoys her service in this ministry: “It’s a pleasure to serve the parish family. I especially like volunteering for the feast day receptions. There’s an added spiritual element when events take place immediately after Mass. The feeling of welcome that you extend comes back to you. I feel like I sometimes receive as much as I give in this ministry.”
The Parish Life and Hospitality ministers welcome new members to their ministry. Their work isn’t complex and they’ll provide on-the-job training as needed. The ministry leaders will check on your preferences: meet-and-greet before liturgies, set up or serving at parish receptions, or lending a hand to clean-up after an event.
|
|
If you are interested in becoming part of hospitality, your level of commitment can vary with your own schedule. The parish needs hospitality ministers for Sundays, feast days, and other special events.A special thank you to all those serving as hospitality ministers. May God bless you for your service.
