From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Parishioners:

Having had two fig trees in the back yard of my childhood home and observing how my father tended to them most earnestly, today’s parable of the fig tree always hits home. Our Lord uses this image to illustrate the urgent need for our repentance. His message in this short story is clear: God patiently waits to see if a person will repent and bear fruit in the future. The fruitless tree is left for a year so that it might be cultivated and fertilized...and so God offers hope and offers one last chance for conversion. Perhaps we can pray the following this week:

O Lord, give me the grace of conversion. Show your mercy to me and let me experience your presence in my heart. Let me come to a genuine act of repentance, to an honest humble prayer, and to a spontaneous generosity. I see clearly the road to follow. But my heart hesitates, my inner self still holds back, saying, “Yes, but....” I keep forgetting that you love me, that you are waiting for me with open arms. Be patient with me as I shake off the false cares and troubles and pray for mercy. Hear my plea to return to you. Be patient and do not leave me alone in my struggles. Show me the beauty of your face. Come, Lord Jesus, come!

With affection,
Msgr. Gervasio

Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,

Nan lakou lakay, lè mwen te timoun, te gen 2 pye fig. Mwen konn ap obsève kouman papa'm te konn pran swen yo ak tout kè'l, parabòl pye fig jodia toujou fè aktyalite lakay mwen. GranMèt la itilize imaj sa a pou ilistre bezwen ijan pou repantans nou. Mesaj Li nan istwa a trè klè: GranMèt la ap tann avèk pasyans pou Li wè si yon moun ap konvèti epi pote bon fwi nan lavni. Kite pye fwi ki pa donnen an yon lòt ané ankò konsa li kab donnen epi bay bon fwi....se konsa GranMèt la ofri nou espwa e ofri nou tou yon dènye chans pou konvèsyon. Petèt nan semèn nan nou kab fè lapriyè sa a:

O Senyè, banm favè la konvèsyon. Montre mizèrikòd W pou mwen epi kite 'm fè eksperyans prezans W nan kè mwen. Kite'm vini nan yon zak otantik repantans nan fè'm piti lè map lapriyè W a tout kè, e ak yon jenewozite espontané.. Mwen wè wout la klè devan mwen. Men mwen ezite paske tout mwen menm vle retounen dèyè, lè mwen di: "wi, men..." mwen kontinye bliye ke W renmen 'm, ke W'ap tann mwen ak 2 bra louvri. Pran pasyans avek mwen pandan ke map debarase'm de pwoblèm mwen ak tout bagay kap boulvèsre mwen epi lapriyè pou la mizèrikòd, koute lapriyè mwen, mwen vle retounen a W. Pran pasyans avè'm Senyè Jezi epi pa kite'm pou kont mwen nan tribilasyon yo. Montre mwen kouman W bèl! Vini non, Senyè vini!

Avèk afeksyon,
Msgr. Gervasio
