23rd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
SEPTEMBER 6, 2026
This Sunday in the Gospel, Jesus gives us the beautiful promise that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there in their midst. As we worship in His presence, let us open our hearts to the healing and binding power of the Holy Spirit.
LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
Spending time reading and praying with the Mass readings before Mass helps prepare your heart to receive what God wants to communicate to you.
Mass Readings for Sunday, Sept 6
Un Mensaje Del Padre Carlos
Hoy la liturgia de la palabra como siempre habla profundamente, ahora es con nuestros semejantes, familiares, vecinos , amigos , compañeros etc, Dios nos encarga una misión con ellos.Le llamamos corrección fraterna, no es meterse en lo que no me importa, es llegar ahí donde a veces la persona necesita que lleguemos, pero no por ser chismosos o metiches, si no por ayudar a encontrar un camino en la salvación de todos. Es algo que el evangelio de hoy te pide, ve , busca a tu hermano, que te necesita y hablale, y si no se corrige vuélvelo a buscar y al final hasta con la comunidad. La invitación es que podamos ayudarnos unos a otros, yo se que vivimos situaciones difíciles, diferentes y a veces el individualismo nos está abarcando, pero la propuesta del evangelio y las lecturas hoy dicen, siéntete implicado en la salvación de los demás. Es en nuestros vínculos más cercanos donde encontramos nuestras alegrías, pero también los sufrimientos, Jesús me invita a mirar al otro siempre. La palabra nos pone frente a mi hermano o hermana, y nos hace ver la importancia de entrar a sus vidas si es por la salvación, para que no se pierdan en otro camino, o simplemente mostrar nuestro afecto, amor, compasión, solidaridad, es forma de ganar y trabajar por el Reino de los Cielos. Paz y bien.

September 5-6 || Back to school safety tips
As your children head back to school, parents should begin laying the groundwork (if they haven’t already) for open communication about the school’s safety guidelines and policies. Talk to children about safe adults and keep lines of communication open about who they see and interact with, how they feel about their school days, and what they are learning. Remind children regularly that they should find a safe adult if they ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable in any situation. For more tips please visit https://www.missingkids.org/education/back-to-school.
Consejos de seguridad para el regreso a la escuela
Ahora que sus hijos vuelven a clases, los padres deben empezar a sentar las bases (si aún no lo han hecho) para mantener una comunicación abierta sobre las directrices y políticas de seguridad de su escuela. Hable con los niños sobre los adultos seguros y mantenga abiertas las líneas de comunicación sobre con quiénes se relacionan, cómo se sientan durante el día escolar y qué están aprendiendo. Recuérdeles regularmente que deben buscar a un adulto seguro si se sienten inseguros o incómodos en cualquier situación.
