Traces of Grace ~ Rasgos de Gracia

Dear Fellow Parishioners;

At last, I get my apartment back! Actually it has been fun having a roommate in Fredy and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Please wish him well as he looks forward to being ordained a deacon in July and God willing, a priest for the Diocese of Orange next year!

Together in Christ;

Fr. Ogre

Pastor

~ * ~

Dear Parishioners,

Can you imagine eating, sleeping and living under the same roof as your boss? All the while knowing that your boss will write an evaluation about you for your university? Not possible you say. I have done it and believe me it has been a valuable experience. In the beginning I had many doubts and fears but once we began to know one another I realized that Father Steve is not an "ogre boss” which sometimes we believe or imagine.

It has been nine months since my arrival at St. Edward and San Felipe de Jesús. When I arrived I knew very little about this community other than the good things Father Mario had relayed to me. There have been so many wonderful experiences and great moments for me here at St. Edward and if I were to describe them all Saundra would not be able to publish the extent of my writing in the bulletin.

Therefore I wish to express in these few lines my deepest heartfelt gratitude to the entire community of St. Edward and San Felipe de Jesús for having allowed me to travel this fascinating journey of our faith with you.

In today's Gospel we hear the great commandment that Jesus has entrusted to us, "love one another as I love you." All of you, the clergy, staff, leaders and volunteers from the various ministries and parishioners have been an authentic example to me of that love which the Gospel speaks to us today. Thank you, thank you very much for allowing me to mature in my priestly vocation and learn from you so many wonderful things that will help me in my future ministry.

If someone were to ask me what is one thing I will miss I would say Father Steve’s coffee in the morning, even if it wasn’t Colombian coffee!

Sincerely,
Fredy Mancilla
Seminarian

Queridos feligreses,

¡Por fin, ya tengo mi apartamento de regreso! En realidad, ha sido divertido tener un compañero de apartamento; Fredy y yo hemos disfrutado de la experiencia. ¡Por favor, deseemos le lo mejor mientras esperamos su ordenación como diácono en julio y si Dios quiere, un sacerdote para la Diócesis de Orange el año que viene!

Juntos en Cristo, 

Fr. Ogro

Pastor.

Queridos feligreses, 

¿Alguna vez se han imaginado comer, dormir y vivir con el jefe bajo el mismo techo? ¿más aun sabiendo que su jefe va a escribir un reporte a cerca de ti para tu universidad?  ¿Imposible de hacer? No, yo lo hice y crean que ha sido una valiosa experiencia para mi. No lo niego, al inicio tenia muchas dudas y temores, pero un vez que iniciamos a compartir y a conocernos el uno al otro me di cuenta que el Padre Steve no es como la imagen del “jefe ogro” que a veces creamos o imaginamos.

Ya han pasado nueve meses desde mi llegada a San Eduardo y San Felipe de Jesús. Cuando llegue conocía muy poco a cerca de esta comunidad sólo las maravillas que el Padre Mario me había contado antes de llegar. Son tantas las experiencias y buenos momentos vividos que me faltaría líneas para describir todo aquello, tanto, que estoy seguro que Saundra no publicaría en el boletín mi escrito por lo extenso.  

Por consiguiente deseo expresar en estas cortas líneas y de todo corazón mis más profundos agradecimientos a toda la comunidad de San Eduardo y San Felipe de Jesús por haber me permitido recorrer con ustedes este fascinante caminar de nuestra fe.

En el evangelio de hoy escuchamos el gran mandamiento que Jesús nos ha encomendado: “amarnos los unos a los otros como Él nos ha amado”. Es precisamente ese amor mi más grata experiencia vivida a lo largo de este tiempo en medio de ustedes. Todos ustedes, el clero, el personal de trabajo, los lideres y voluntarios de los diferentes ministerios y los feligreses, me han enseñado a vivir con intensidad ese amor del cual nos habla hoy el evangelio. Gracias, muchas gracias por permitirme crecer en mi vocación sacerdotal y aprender de ustedes tantas cosas maravillosas que me ayudarán en mi futuro ministerio.

Si alguien me preguntara que extrañaré, yo diría sin duda: ¡el café del Padre Steve en las mañanas a pesar que no era café colombiano!

Sinceramente,  

Fredy Mancilla

Seminarista
