The Innermost Truth
“I am the Lord and there is no other,
there is no God besides me.”
The god that we make of power, the domination of
others and the exercise of control over their lives, is a
false god.
The god that we make of possessions, the accumulation of wealth far beyond that required for a dignified
life, is a false god.
The god that we make of pleasure and comfort,
soothing our senses with physical satisfaction and
enjoyment, is a false god.
The god that we make of security, lulling us to sleep
in the midst of a world filled with chaos and turmoil,
is a false god. “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but
give to God what is God’s.” What is God’s is the
only place as God, and so we “give the Lord glory
and honor. We who belong to God the Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ know that all the gods of the nations are things of naught,” and so we reject the false
gods of power, possessions, pleasure, and security.
We place all our hope in the “almighty and everliving God” who is “our source of power and inspiration.”
Since it has been entrusted to the Church to reveal
the mystery of God, who is the ultimate goal of
man, she opens up to man at the same time the
meaning of his own existence, that is, the innermost truth about himself. The Church truly knows
that only God, whom she serves, meets the deepest
longings of the human heart, which is never fully
satisfied by what this world has to offer.

Good stewards must not argue about who is the
most important. Today’s Gospel says clearly that
those who aspire to greatness must humbly serve the
needs of all.
Even Jesus came not to be served, but to serve.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 2006, en la plaza de Taos se erigió una estatua de bronce que conmemora al "cura de Taos", Antonio José Martínez, un sacerdote recordado como controversial ante varios gobiernos por defender a su pueblo.
Él fue sacerdote en Taos, Nuevo México cuando era territorio español, luego mexicano y finalmente cuando pasa a
manos de EE. UU. Durante la época española y mexicana
Antonio estableció escuelas para niños y niñas y fundó un
seminario para preparar un clero nativo. En 1830 empezó
a imprimir libros y estableció el primer periódico Nuevo
Mexicano. De esta manera estableció Taos como un centro de educación.
En 1851 llegaron los representantes del gobierno estadounidense con la intención de "americanizar" a los nuevos
mexicanos prohibiéndoles sus tradiciones declarando que
eran ignorantes y supersticiosas.
Antonio José contradijo este movimiento convirtiendo su
seminario en una escuela de leyes. Decía que el gobierno
de EE. UU es un burro que debe ser montado por abogados. Muchos se opusieron a su obra pero él continuó luchando por su pueblo hasta su muerte en 1867. Su tumba
lo declara: "La honra de su país".
--Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

2015 MASS BOOK READY
We now have our 2015 Mass Book ready to take
your requests for masses for deceased family and
friends or for the intention of the living. The guide set
by the diocese for stipends remains at $ 10 per mass.
Due to the volume of mass request this past year,
as of September 1, 2014 we no longer had any weekend masses available in English for the rest of the
year. Therefore, in 2015 we will take only six requests
for weekend masses by each person. We ask that requests for multiple masses be made in writing. Questions: call the Parish Office at 510-895-5631

Questions
In this Gospel, are the Pharisees more interested in taxes or in undermining Jesus’ influence? Since the universe and everything in
it is made in God’s image, what does belong
to God? Are you a caretaker of the earth?
Do God’s and Caesar’s worlds have to be
separated? What would it look like if they
were joined together?
Finance Committee
Will meet on Tuesday, the 21st at
6:30 pm in the rectory. It is time to
work on budget for 2015.
