MEssage from our MinistersTwenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel. . . . - Ezekiel 33:7
Oh, that today you would hear his voice: Harden not your hearts. . . . - Psalm 95:7-8 Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another. . . . - Romans 13:8 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. - Matthew 18:20 America is known for its rugged individualism, and certainly independence is part of our character. As Christians, we are not only individuals, but also members of the Body of Christ. As such, we are in relationship with God and others. Do we realize – make real – that relationship each day? Are we the watchpersons of our sisters and brothers, caring for and loving them? Do we listen with our inmost being to God’s voice? Do we allow and welcome God’s voice to soften our hardened hearts and change us? Do we really love one another or merely give lip service to the idea of loving others? Do we really believe that God dwells in our midst, in our very being? For today can we take one step forward on the path of acting on these truths? 
Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"7.A ti, también, hijo de hombre, te he hecho yo centinela de la casa de Israel. Cuando oigas una palabra de mi boca, les advertirás de mi parte." Ezequiel, 33 - Bíblia Católica Online "¡Oh, si escucharais hoy su voz!: 8.«No endurezcáis vuestro corazón" Salmos, 95 - Bíblia Católica Online "Con nadie tengáis otra deuda que la del mutuo amor. " Romanos, 13 - Bíblia Católica Online "20.Porque donde están dos o tres reunidos en mi nombre, allí estoy yo en medio de ellos.»" Mateo, 18 - Bíblia Católica Online Estados Unidos es conocido por su fuerte individualismo y ciertamente la independencia es parte de nuestro carácter. Como cristianos, no solo somos individuos, sino también miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo. Como tal, estamos en relación con Dios y con los demás. ¿Nos damos cuenta - hacemos realidad - esa relación cada día? ¿Somos vigilantes de nuestros hermanos, cuidándolos y amándolos?¿Escuchamos en nuestro interior la voz de Dios? ¿Permitimos y damos la bienvenida a la voz de Dios para ablandar nuestros corazones endurecidos y cambiarnos?¿Realmente nos amamos unos a otros o simplemente hablamos de labios para afuera sobre la idea de amar a los demás?¿Creemos realmente que Dios habita en medio de nosotros, en nuestro propio ser? Por hoy, ¿Podemos dar un paso adelante en el camino de actuar sobre estas verdades? AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Sincerely, Fr. Mark PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19
Actualización de los Procedimientos de la Pandemia Parroquial
Durante este tiempo de pandemia, la Iglesia de la Presentación de la Santísima Virgen María está implementando todos los procedimientos de seguridad que se requieren, así como muchas precauciones adicionales que se recomiendan para la seguridad de los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Estos incluyen la limpieza, desinfección y el uso de máscarillas, termómetros y distanciamiento social adecuado. Recopilamos información de contacto de todos los que asisten a todas las Misas, en caso de que tengamos que llamar a todos los que asistieron a una Misa en particular. Esto ha sucedido dos veces en las últimas semanas. Tuvimos que notificar a todos los que asistieron a dos de nuestras Misas aquí en Presentación, porque más tarde supimos que esas dos Misas habían sido atendidas por alguien que luego dio positivo por coronavirus. En ambos casos, la persona que asistía a la Misa no tenía ningún síntoma mientras asistía a la Misa, practicaba el distanciamiento social mientras asistía a la Misa y se había conformado con todos los protocolos establecidos de la parroquia. Nos aseguraron que no entraron en contacto cercano con otros en la Misa. Sin embargo, un miembro del personal de la parroquia notificó a cada uno de los que habían asistido a esas Misas, solo para informarles que deberían estar atentos a los síntomas. También los llamamos nuevamente dos semanas después en un esfuerzo por asegurarnos de que nuestros protocolos de seguridad en la Misa fueran efectivos y que nadie se infectara al asistir a cualquiera de las Misas. Una de estas Misas fue una Misa de confirmación celebrada el 29 de junio para las familias de nuestras escuelas parroquiales, y la otra fue a la Misa de 5:00 p.m. el 5 de julio. Estamos proporcionando esta información para que todos puedan tomar decisiones informadas sobre si desean asistir a nuestras Misas durante la pandemia. Si alguien da positivo por coronavirus, notifique a la parroquia de inmediato (209-472-2150) para que podamos notificar a quienes estuvieron presentes en la Misa o al servicio al que asistió. La información recibida será tratada de manera confidencial. La Misa será AFUERA con el altar frente al Centro Comunitario.

During this time of pandemic, the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is implementing all the safety procedures that are required, as well as many additional precautions that are recommended for the safety of our community members. These include cleaning, disinfecting, and the use of masks, thermometers, and proper social distancing. We gather contact information of everyone who attends all Masses, just in case we have to call everyone who attended a particular Mass. This has happened two times in recent weeks. We had to notify everyone who attended two of our Masses here at Presentation, because we later learned that those two Masses had been attended by someone who later tested positive for coronavirus. In both cases, the person attending the Mass did not have any symptoms while attending the Mass, practiced social distancing while attending the Mass, and had conformed to the all established protocols of the parish. They assured us that they did not come in close contact with others at the Mass. Nevertheless, a parish staff member notified each of those who had attended those Masses, just to inform them that they should be alert for symptoms. We also called them again two weeks later in an effort to make sure that our safety protocols at Mass were effective and that no one became infected by attending either of the Masses. One of these Masses was a Confirmation Mass celebrated on June 29 for our parish school families, and the other was our 5:00 p.m. Mass on July 5. We are providing this information so that everyone can make informed decisions about whether they wish to attend our Masses during the pandemic. If anyone tests positive for coronavirus, please notify the parish right away (209-472-2150) so that we can notify those who were present at the Mass or service you attended. The information received will be handled in a confidential manner. Al 19 de JuLio de 2020PrayerspRAYER FOR THE sICK

Stewardship ReflEctions
From our Stewardship Council
23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time
“You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel…” - Ezekiel 33:7
Many of us are generous with our gifts. However, many of us are not generous in proportion to the gifts we have been given. How often do we give at the minimum level required? Remember, the Lord calls us to nurture and develop our gifts. He calls us to be generous with all the gifts He has given us, especially the one that means the most to us.

23º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"¿Qué beneficio tendría para uno ganar el mundo entero y perder su vida?" - MATEO 16:26
San Francisco de Asís dijo una vez: "Recuerda, eres lo que eres a los ojos de Dios, y nada más". A menudo olvidamos esta sabiduría de corresponsabilidad cuando gastamos todo nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoros para obtener más riquezas del mundo. Necesitamos establecer nuestras prioridades basadas en los valores de Dios y no en los valores del mundo material.
Children's PRayer
From our Minister of religious Education
Sharing the Gospel
Sometimes it's hard to give of your time, or your toys, or even to share your friends. Sometimes you want to be selfish and keep everything for yourself. This is not what Jesus did. He kept sharing God's love all the time. Jesus came to die on the cross and rise again. He came to take your sins away. Jesus gave up his own life so that your life could be saved. He did it for you. He shared so much that he even gave his life for us by dying on the cross. Jesus wants us to share like he did, to give of ourselves even when we want to be selfish.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, give me strength to share your love.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of yourself sharing in way that is hard for you.
Mission for the Week
Give of your time this week to help someone who needs it.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

St. Teresa of Kolkata
|
1910-1997
Feast Day: September 7th Raised in a deeply Catholic family in Albania, Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu joined the Sisters of Loreto in 1928 and took the name Teresa. The community sent her to Kolkata, India, where she taught children for two decades. In 1946 Teresa heard God's call to quench the thirst of Jesus by caring for the poorest of the poor. She left the Sisters of Loreto to rescue the sick and destitute in the slums of Kolkata -- one at a time. Many volunteers soon joined her and she formed them into her religious order, the Missionaries of Charity. Teresa's manifest goodness and her unique media savvy attracted global attention, drawing many people to God. Many regard her as the greatest Catholic evangelist of the 20th century. She was beatified in 2003 and canonized in 2016. Copyright © 2020, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. All rights reserved. |

Santa Teresa de Calcuta
1910-1997
Día de fiesta—7 de Septiembre
Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu fue criada en Albania en el seno de una familia muy católica, ingresando a la comunidad de las Hermanas de Loreto en 1928 y tomando el nombre de Teresa. La comunidad la envió a Calcuta, India, donde ella enseñó a niños a lo largo de dos décadas. En 1946, Teresa escuchó el llamado de Dios para saciar la sed de Jesús cuidando a los más pobres de los pobres. Ella dejó la comunidad de las Hermanas de Loreto para rescatar a los enfermos y a los indigentes de las zonas marginales de Calcuta—uno por uno. Al poco tiempo se le unieron muchas voluntarias y ella estableció la orden religiosa Las Misioneras de la Caridad. La bondad manifiesta de Teresa y su habilidad única en los medios de comunicación captaron la atención mundial, atrayendo a muchas personas a Dios. Muchos la consideran la más grande evangelista del siglo XX. Teresa fue beatificada en el 2003 y canonizada en el 2016.
