LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
Taking time to read and pray with the Mass readings helps to prepare your heart to receive exactly what God wants to communicate to you. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your mind and heart to hear the Word of God.
Mass Readings for Sunday, February 9
Un mensaje del p. Carlos
Jesús está hoy en la barca , aquí en Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, del Pilar, no tiene otra, y nos ve cansados y con las redes vacías y nos invita a echarlas otra vez. Y nos da una red nueva: la palabra, la oración, la valentía, y nos invita a seguir invitando a los hombres.
Dios sigue llamando a todos .Lo nuestro no es llamar a Dios. Lo nuestro es responder a Dios. Responder es dejar las viejas redes y seguir a Jesús.Eres apóstol, enviado por Dios.Eres testigo, expresa y vive la alegría de ser hijo.Eres profeta, habla de tu fe.Eres mensajero, ayuda a entender. Eres discípulo, llama como llamó Jesús. Coge papel y lápiz y haz recuento de las llamadas de Dios y también de tus respuestas.
Venir a la iglesia cada domingo puede tener una doble lectura. Aquí estamos nosotros, los de siempre, en esta barca un tanto decepcionados porque rezamos mucho y conseguimos NADA. La barca no se llena sino que se vacía.Venir a la iglesia no es venir a la orilla del lago, por costumbre, por obligación por cumplir…a mojarnos un poco los tobillos.
Venir a la iglesia es venir a las aguas profundas del amor de Dios. Aquí Dios nos llama por nuestro nombre para hacernos sus socios en la tarea de anunciar el evangelio. No tenemos que sentirnos culpables por nuestra ineficacia, por conseguir NADA. Si somos obedientes y seguimos remando mar adentro, en busca de las aguas profundas y echando las redes, Dios hará el resto. La pesca milagrosa no es obra nuestra sino de Dios. Bendiciones.
WORLD MARRIAGE DAY
February 9, 2025
MARRIAGE IS A TRIP AND GOD HAS THE MAP!
Gifted pianists or brilliant pediatric surgeons will often speak of their profession as a calling, a pull in the depth of their hearts that only it can fulfill. It is wonderful to have a career or a passion that is a vocation, but in a deeper way, marriage is a Vocation, a call put on one’s heart by God, and a way to love that each person fulfills in a unique way. This World Marriage Day, show the world that this Vocation is truly a pilgrimage of faith and hope in love, because God has the map!
Couples and families, it’s time to elevate your spiritual journey right from the comfort of your own home! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to access resources available to enrich your marriage and family. Even the smallest actions you take are impactful, shaping the love and values your children carry into their future marriages.

Did you know that one in every five parishes and one in every four Catholic schools rely on financial assistance to continue their vital ministries? Your generosity directly impacts these communities, providing the resources they need to thrive.
This year’s cumulative Together in Mission goal is $17.7 million, representing the collective efforts of our Catholic family across all five regions. Your parish’s goal and progress throughout the year can be tracked on the Together in Mission Leaderboard at togetherinmission.org. Let us come together to make a difference and bring the love of Christ to those in need. Please consider making a special Jubilee Year gift to Together in Mission today!

BUILD THE NEW CHURCH STAIRS
BUILD THE NEW CHURCH STAIRS
We have fully paid off our construction loan! We are debt free! This is a great accomplishment, and we thank everyone. We are Blessed, and I am Grateful!
We are in a position to finish the last step of the Building Our Faith campaign with the new stairs from the church to the Portico.
These New Stairs will provide
1. Easy access to events in The Portico and MPR after Masses,
2. a safe way for parents to walk toddlers to The Portico who need a break during Mass,
3. and these stairs will become the main entrance to the church from the parking lot, using the elevator or school staircase to come up, walk past STEM Lab and MPR, through The Portico and into the church.
We are counting on the income from those still paying their outstanding pledges to build these new stairs. We will give ourselves a loan from our reserves to start as soon as possible, hopefully in a few months. Since the original design of a simple staircase, we have expanded the project to include all that was listed just above. Because of this, and because of inflation, we are going to fall short of paying ourselves back. Would you be willing to help a bit more to finish this project?
Please click here for more information and all the details. After you have learned a bit more about the project, please prayerfully consider helping by filling out the donation/pledge form on the website or call the parish office. Thank You, Fr. Paul

DID YOU KNOW?
February 8-9 || Books can help children understand difficult situations
All children are bound to experience difficult events as they grow up. When complex situations arise before children develop the ability to fully articulate their emotions, books can help them feel more at ease with feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness. While a book can’t make everything better, stories can often help provide understanding and comfort. The picture book “Wildfire!” gives children a look at forest fires, firefighting and protecting natural spaces. The book can be found at https://a.co/d/7LyZzsX.
Los libros pueden ayudar a los niños a entender situaciones difíciles
Es probable que los niños pasen por eventos difíciles durante su desarrollo. Cuando surgen situaciones complejas antes de que los niños desarrollen la capacidad de articular plenamente sus emociones, los libros pueden ayudarles a sentirse más tranquilos con los sentimientos de ira, frustración y tristeza. Aunque un libro no puede hacer que todo sea mejor, los cuentos pueden proporcionar entendimiento y consuelo durante situaciones difíciles. El libro ilustrado “Wildfire!” ofrece a los niños una mirada a los incendios forestales, la lucha contra el fuego y la protección de los espacios naturales. Se puede encontrar el libro en https://a.co/d/7LyZzsX.
