Dear parish family, 17 Sunday A Greetings to all as I resume writing my corner here after a month long absence! First of all I deeply thank all of you for the prayers for my successful heart bypass surgery and for my speedy recovery. I greatly appreciate those who send me cards but I know so many of you are keeping me in your thoughts and special prayers. Those prayers have truly lifted me up. Our Lord God is good and heard our pleas. Those who had undergone an open heart surgery knew the ordeal well than those who only imagine it. The risks, the pain and all the discomfort that go with it that we just have to endure in order to achieve the higher value or the greater benefit of better health. The surgeon told me that I am blessed that they have fixed my heart before worst can happen. I am so thankful for the blessings in disguise the Lord God has granted me. Actually I am still in the process of recuperation and not yet fully recovered. I am still under restrictions and not yet allowed to drive or do some strenuous physical activity. It takes about 2 months for the breastbone to completely heal. But I feel I already have enough strength to do partial work. So this Sunday is my first attempt of doing one or two Masses. God willing, I can resume to full duty by mid August. We hear on this Sunday's gospel about the metaphors of the kingdom of heaven, like hidden treasures buried in the field, merchant looking for a fine pearl. They are treasures not far fetch in distant lands but within everyone's grasp in everyday casual life. For Jesus they are those true treasures we can discover within us. They are the treasures of the spirit. They are the treasures that can carry us through life even amidst all the tribulations and drudgery of life. They are the treasures of faith, of hope, and of love, and anything the gospel promotes. They are worth our valuable time, effort and sacrifice. Whether they are manifested in going to Sunday worship or private devotions to the Lord God or whether they are expressed in love and commitment of husband and wives or in acts of piety, charity and goodness at home or work. Their worth is something beyond the value of money. Let us ask this grace of God that we may be guided to seek and discover the true treasures in life that are buried in our very lives. May we find them just buried in our relationship with others, in the family, at work, in the community of the church, all of which are anchored in the love of God. Let us seek those hidden treasures and let us start digging first inside our hearts. Blessings to all and have a good week. Fr. Tony Querida familia parroquial, 17 Domingo A Saludos a todos y reanudando con mi artículo semanal después de una larga ausencia de un mes! En primer lugar, agradezco profundamente a todos ustedes por las oraciones en mi exitosa cirugía de bypass cardíaco y por mi pronta recuperación. Aprecio mucho a aquellos que me envían tarjetas, pero sé que muchos de ustedes me están manteniendo en sus pensamientos y oraciones especiales. Esas oraciones realmente me han levantado. Nuestro Señor Dios es bueno y escuchó nuestras súplicas. Aquellos que se han sometido a una cirugía de corazón abierto conocen mejor lo difícil de la prueba para aquellos que los que sólo se la imaginan. Los riesgos, el dolor y toda la incomodidad que conlleva a lo que sólo tenemos que soportar para obtener la fuerza, el valor o el mayor beneficio de una mejor salud. El cirujano me dijo que tengo la bendición de que han arreglado mi corazón antes de que hubiese pasado lo peor. Estoy tan agradecido por las bendiciones en medio de este suceso, que el Señor Dios me ha concedido. En realidad todavía estoy en el proceso de recuperación y no me ha recuperado completamente. Aun estoy bajo restricciones y no se me permite conducir o involucrarme en alguna actividad física extenuante. Toma cerca de 2 meses para que el esternón cure completamente. Pero siento que ya tengo suficiente fuerza para hacer trabajo parcial. Así que este domingo es mi primer intento de hacer una o dos misas. Si Dios quiere, puedo volver al pleno deber a mediados de agosto. En el evangelio de este domingo se oye hablar de las metáforas del reino de los cielos, como tesoros ocultos enterrados en el campo; el comerciante que busca una perla fina. Son tesoros no muy lejanos de encontrar en tierras lejanas, pero al alcance de todos en la vida cotidiana. Para Jesús son esos verdaderos tesoros que podemos descubrir dentro de nosotros. Son los tesoros del espíritu. Son los tesoros que pueden llevarnos a través de la vida incluso en medio de todas las tribulaciones y fatigas de la vida. Son los tesoros de la fe, de la esperanza y del amor, y de todo lo que el evangelio promueve. Ellos valen nuestro valioso tiempo, esfuerzo y sacrificio. Ya sea que se manifiesten en ir al culto del domingo o devociones privadas al Señor Dios o si se expresan en el amor y el compromiso de esposo o esposa o en actos de piedad, caridad y bondad en casa o en el trabajo. Su valor es algo más allá del valor del dinero. Pidamos esta gracia de Dios para que seamos guiados a buscar y descubrir los verdaderos tesoros de la vida que están enterrados en nuestras vidas. Que los encontremos enterrados en nuestra relación con los demás, en la familia, en el trabajo, en la comunidad de la iglesia, todos los cuales están anclados en el amor de Dios. Busquemos esos tesoros escondidos y comencemos a cavar primero dentro de nuestros corazones. Bendiciones a todos y que tengan una buena semana. Fr. Tony
