4 St. Peter s Catholic Church, LaGrange, Georgia 4 February 17, 2019 Pastor s Corner La Esquina del Pastor Dear Parish Family, Blessed are they who hope in the Lord (Psalm 1:1). With these words taken from today s responsorial psalm, I greet you from the Holy Land. In today s Gospel, we are reminded of the Sermon on the Plain, when Jesus spoke to a vast crowd concerning living out our lives with living faith. According to St. Luke, Jesus is the beloved Son of God, who is a God of Justice and Peace. In this sermon, four beatitudes are given alongside for woes for those who do not live life in accordance with the virtue of faith. In summary, Jesus suggests a balance of life between living out our lives with justice and peace alongside with being merciful to those who wrong us. In our world today, inequality exists among peoples in our communities as well as among our global society. I have invited Food for the Poor today to speak of one way in which through ministry our Church can help make a difference amid these unjust inequalities. I pray that our parish family will be blessed by the presence of our visiting priest and his words of wisdom. Thank you for your attention to last week s words from the Archbishop Gregory. I pray that you have filled out your pledge card and sent it to the office. If not, you may fill out your pledge form and simply place the Annual Appeal envelope into the collection basket. Thank you for your pledge to the Annual Appeal. Querida Familia Parroquial, Dichoso el hombre que confía en Dios (Salmo 1: 1). Con estas palabras tomadas del salmo responsorial de hoy, les saludo desde la Tierra Santa. En el Evangelio de hoy, se nos recuerda el "Sermón en la llanura", cuando Jesús habló a una vasta multitud con respecto a vivir nuestras vidas con fe viva. Según San Lucas, Jesús es el Hijo Amado de Dios, que es un Dios de justicia y paz. En este sermón, se dan cuatro bienaventuranzas para los que no viven la vida de acuerdo con la virtud de la fe. En resumen, Jesús sugiere un equilibrio de vida entre vivir nuestras vidas con justicia y paz, además de ser misericordioso con los que nos hacen mal. Hoy en días, la desigualdad existe entre la gente de nuestras comunidades, así como entre nuestra sociedad global. Hoy he invitado a Food for the Poor para hablar de una manera en que a través del ministerio de nuestra Iglesia se pueda ayudar a hacer una diferencia en medio de estas injustas desigualdades. Ruego que nuestra familia parroquial sea bendecida por la presencia de nuestro sacerdote visitante y sus palabras de sabiduría. Gracias por su atención la semana pasada a las palabras del Arzobispo Gregory. Ruego que hayan llenado una tarjeta de compromiso y la hayan enviado a la oficina. De lo contrario, puede completar su formulario de compromiso y simplemente colocar el sobre de Campaña Anual del Arzobispo" en la canasta de recolección. Gracias por su compromiso con la Campaña Anual. Online Giving is a safe and convenient way to donate to the church. Sign up by clicking the logo on our website.
