Are you looking for ways to experience
God? It can be difficult. God is a spiritual
being. How do you experience a “spiritual
being”? Members of the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul invite you to share in their
ministry of experiencing God in the poor.
Holy Scripture tells us: “The Word became flesh and lived
among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as the
only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (The Gospel according to John, 1, 14)
We see Christ in the poor and when we see Christ we experience God. Come join us on Tuesday September13, 2015
from 7PM to 8PM at the Rectory to learn more about this
very special ministry. We look forwarding to seeing you!

A Note from Fr. Manny
Dear St. Francis Family,
Our believing mind at times leads us to
presume that when we serve God and follow
His will, everything will be alright. But it is
not what Jesus is teaching us in the gospel this
weekend about discipleship.
“If anyone comes to me without hating
his father and mother, wife and children,
brothers and sisters, and even his own life cannot be my
disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come
after me cannot be my disciple.” (Lk 14:26-27)
Discipleship therefore entails serious commitment to
follow God’s will and be ready if needs arises to sacrifice
dearest persons and things in life. One must calculate the
cost before setting it out.
Like St. Francis, our patron saint in his own way of
following the will of God and given the challenging opportunity to choose between his father’s will and the call of
God to serve His people, he preferred to answer God’s call
for him to serve, even though it cost the hatred of his father
Pietro di Bernardone.
As Jesus disciples experienced the “way of His cross,
we as Christians must always bear in mind that God did not
promise an easy journey but a “GREAT DESTINATION”
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Mt.
10:22) Amen.
Yours in the ministry
Fr. Manny S.
Querida familia de San Francisco:
A veces suponemos que cuando servimos a Dios y seguimos Su voluntad, todo estará bien. Pero no es lo que Jesús nos enseña en el Evangelio de este fin de semana sobre
el discipulado.
“Si alguno quiere seguirme y no me prefiere a su padre y a su madre, a su esposa y a sus hijos, a sus hermanos
y a sus hermanas, más aún, a sí mismo, no puede ser mi
discípulo. Y el que no carga su cruz y me sigue, no puede
ser mi discípulo.” (Lc 14: 26-27)
Por lo tanto, el discipulado implica un compromiso
serio para seguir la voluntad de Dios y estar preparados por
si es necesario sacrificar seres queridos y eventos en la vida.
Uno debe de entender el compromiso que se está haciendo.
Al igual que nuestro Santo patrón, St. Francisco al seguir la voluntad de Dios y la encrucijada de elegir entre la
voluntad de su padre o el llamado para servir al pueblo de
Dios, San Francisco prefirió responder al llamado de servirle a Dios, aunque le costó el odio de su padre, Pietro di Bernardone.
Como los discípulos experimentaron el "Vía Crucis de
Jesús”, nosotros como cristianos debemos siempre de tener
en cuenta que Dios no nos prometió un camino fácil, sino
un “GRAN DESTINO”. “Pero el que se mantenga firme
hasta el fin se salvará.” (Mt. 10: 22) Amén
Suyo en el Ministerio
Padre Manny S.
