Fr. Schuessler’s reflexión para el 6-9-24
Con el cambio de párrocos, pienso en la despedida de San Pablo en Hechos 20. Su despedida es emotiva y, al parecer, difícil para él. Nuestras despedidas tal vez no sean tan dramáticas, pero me atrevo a decir que igual de sentidas y quizás difíciles. También creo que cuanto más envejecemos, más difícil es el cambio. Al igual que San Pablo, las despedidas y el cambio resultante nos arrojan a lo desconocido. Nos preguntamos cómo será el nuevo párroco. Y sospecho que él está preguntándose cómo será La Parroquia de Santiago Apóstol. También sospecho que […]

Fr. Schuessler’s Reflection 6-9-24
With the change of pastors, I am thinking of St. Paul’s farewell in Acts 20. His farewell is emotional and, it seems, difficult for him. Our farewells are perhaps not as dramatic, but I venture to say just as heartfelt and perhaps difficult. I also think the older we get, the harder change is. Like St. Paul, farewells and the resulting change casts us into the unknown. We are […]
