Upcoming Events

Special Collection for Louisiana Flood Response The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for an emergency collection to support the humanitarian efforts of Catholic Charities and to provide pastoral and rebuilding support to impacted Catholic dioceses. Everyone is encouraged to join the Church in being a visible witness to the healing presence of Jesus alive in the world through this collection. Sept 17 & 18.

Baby Bottle Drive Birth Choice of San Marcos will be having a Baby Bottle Drive on Saturday, Sept 17 & Sunday, Sept 18. Pick up a baby bottle and return it in 2 weeks filled with spare change, cash or checks. As a church community you will be saving the life of an unborn child. Four bottles filled with donations help fund one ultrasound for a mom who is facing an unplanned pregnancy. In addition to raising awareness for choosing life, Baby Bottle Drives are a valuable fund raiser to help support our New Mobile Clinic and Care Center efforts. Please stop the information tables outside after Mass and pick up a baby bottle. God Bless!

Brother Benno’s ~ help feed the poor St. Mark’s has a small group of volunteers that meet every 4th Tuesday of every month to feed those in need at Brother Benno’s Center in Oceanside. We are in great need of some extra hands in order to continue this ministry. If interested, please call or text Beverly at 760-419-6782 or leave your contact information at the parish office.

INVITED The Good News is that we have all been invited—invited to the Kingdom, invited to be disciples. It’s a life-changing invitation, and like so many other such invitations, it requires a great deal of deliberation and discernment. Whether we choose marriage, ordination, single life, or community life, we know the serious planning and consideration that accompany these profound decisions. Like the tower-builder in the Gospel, we have weighed both the monetary and emotional cost. We have pondered and planned our lives in the direction to which we believe God has called us. And while we pray for guidance and acceptance of God’s will, we often fail to understand so much. Like Solomon, we turn to God for wisdom and counsel in our life-changing decisions. Copyright © J. S.

El Evangelio Compartido El evangelio que acabamos de escuchar, comienza así: “En aquel tiempo, mucha gente acompañaba a Jesús”. La gente del ayer, al igual que la de hoy, para entretenerse, necesita descubrir una celebridad, alguien a quien admirar y de quien poder hablar. Muchos seguían a Jesús, la celebridad del momento, por razones equivocadas. Jesús compartía signos maravillosos, era autoritario en su lenguaje, se acercaba peligrosamente a los marginados sin temer al contagio, se reía de la ley…y mucha gente le seguía buscando por intereses propios. Jesús tenía todos los ingredientes de una celebridad y los que sólo veían su lado humano terminaron admirándolo como una gran celebridad durante un tiempo y luego se olvidaron de él como buenos judíos. Interesante la intervención cuando “Jesús se volvió y les dijo: No puede ser discípulo mío, el que no lleve su cruz detrás de mí, el que no renuncie a todos sus bienes”. Jesús también les grita sus advertencias y sus condiciones. Las celebridades mundanas se conforman con los aplausos y los piropos de sus seguidores. Eso es muy barato. Jesús pone condiciones que, a muchos les asustan. Ser seguidor de Jesús, ser cristiano, seguir el camino, es muy caro. Tiene un precio. En la vida cotidiana decimos: Mi familia, Mi dinero, Mis tarjetas, Mi país… Todo gira en torno a Mí, a mi libertad, a mi elección. Somos poseídos por el yo. Jesús nos pide revisar todo lo que es pasajero y unirnos a lo que es eterno. El precio a pagar es hacer de Dios el único, que es necesario, el absoluto. Nada ni nadie es más que Jesús para un cristiano. Nada ni nadie merece mi absoluta lealtad, sólo Jesús. Nada ni nadie es digno de todo mi amor, sólo Jesús. Sólo Él, es el primero en la lista de mis prioridades. La religión en espíritu y verdad es cara. Porque a Jesús le costó nada menos que la vida. Los seguidores de Jesús, a pesar de nuestra buena voluntad, somos traicionados por nuestro débil y ansioso corazón. El corazón se apega a las cosas, a las personas, al dinero, al propio yo, y le cuesta reconocer al Señor Jesús. A pesar de su conocida sentencia: “Mi yugo es suave y mi carga ligera” así lo dice Jesús y es verdad.”

“ Labor Day” Día Del Trabajo Fin de semana para disfrutar el regalo de Dios, que viene siendo la familia, los amigos o alguna meditación de lo bonito que es participar en los ministerios al servicio de la comunidad. El participar en el servir, es darnos la oportunidad de ser portadores de las bendiciones que de nuestro servicio emana y que nos compromete a compartir con aquellos que son los que más amamos. Nuestro testimonio que debemos dar en el hogar, son como el derramamiento de los dones recibidos. Si aún no participas en los distintos ministerios, entonces estás invitado para hacerlo. Tenemos Ministerio para el más pequeño de la familia, hasta la persona más adulta que quiera seguir conociendo los misterios que rodean la grandeza del amor eterno de Dios. Lunes 5 de Septiembre, nuestra oficina e instalaciones permanecerán cerradas.

Misión Juvenil 2016 Jóvenes solteros, la Misión Juvenil 2016 ya es este mes, reserven sus boletos. Estará compartiendo el Padre Jorge Armando de Michoacán. Esta será una buena oportunidad para ti, joven soltero y sin compromisos, le des una respuesta a Dios de los pasos de tu vida. Ven a disfrutar estos dos días. Septiembre 24 y 25 es el fin de semana de la reunión entre “Tú y Dios”. Te la vas a pasar de maravillas, reserva tu entrada. Los jóvenes del Grupo Emmanuel se reúnen los viernes a las 7 pm en la planta baja de Healy Hall.

Aun no se han Registrado Como Miembros de la Comunidad La importancia de registrarse como miembro de nuestra comunidad es esencial. Actualmente hemos visto como a muchos hermanos nuestros les han solicitado cartas de la Iglesia. Como comprobante de lugar de residencia. Lamentablemente en muchas ocasiones no contamos con la información necesitada, debido a que la desidia se hizo amiga de ellos y nunca se registraron. Es muy lamentable esta situación, pero por favor, si aún no se han registrado, háganlo y de esta forma nos están dando la oportunidad de servirles mejor. La obediencia forma parte de ser Hijo de Dios. Favor de pasar a la oficina parroquial a registrarse o actualizar su domicilio, si es que ha habido algún cambio.

Bienvenidos a Los Caminos de los Hijos de Dios Son muchos los candidatos que el fin de semana pasado fueron elegidos para completar sus sacramentos. Les damos la más cordial bienvenida y nos alegramos con ellos y por ellos. Ellos son mayores de 18 años que decidieron amar más y conocer a Nuestro Señor a través del conocimiento de cómo recibir sus sacramentos. La invitación está hecha para ti, que estás leyendo este boletín y que te falta alguno de los sacramentos como Bautismo, Comunión o Confirmación. Para que acudas los martes a las 7 pm en la planta baja del edificio JPII. También pueden invitar a las personas que conozcan y que carecen de estos sacramentos, a que vengan a prepararse.

Encuentro Matrimonial El próximo fin de semana, el equipo de Encuentro Matrimonial, estará repartiendo volantes a la salida de las puertas de la iglesia, después de cada celebración. Esta información es para ti, que formas un hogar en compañía de tu esposo y tus hijos. Permite que sea Dios el centro de tu hogar. Vive un Encuentro Matrimonial.

Nuevamente El Regreso a Clases Todos los niños en edad escolar, jóvenes y adultos que tengan que atender clases en escuela, college o universidades. Tienen que ponerse en la manos de Dios, para que sea él, quien guie su camino. Quien dirija sus metas, pero por sobre todas las cosas, quien bendiga sus vidas. Estamos viviendo tiempos muy difíciles, en los que nos andamos escondiendo de la mirada de Dios y muchas veces encontramos jóvenes, que hasta niegan su existencia, tan solo para no vivir con un remordimiento de conciencia, por su mal comportamiento. Pidámosle a Dios, que nos ayude a entender a estos jóvenes y que seamos capaces de que con nuestro testimonio, poder irradiarles su amor. Pidámosle que nos proteja y que si encontramos en nuestro caminar a una mala compañía con intenciones de hacernos daño, que sus ángeles acudan en nuestra ayuda. Bienvenidos a clases.
