We will pray for you and your intentions. Your continued prayers and mutual support are greatly appreciated.
"Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18-20
All parish ministries depend on your continued and kind support. Please bring offerings and mass intentions to the office or mail them. You can also click on the basket at right to make an electronic donation. Be sure to select the correct parish for Odessa - St. Joseph or St. Anthony
All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for rebuttal, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3: 16-17
Toda Escritura esta inspirada por Dios y es util para ensenar, rebatir, corregir y guiar en el bien.
Asi el hombre de Dios se hace un experto y queda preparado para todo trabajo bueno. 2 Timoteo 3: 16-17

"Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
Jesus said in reply, “He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear." Mathew 13: 36-43
“Explícanos la parábola de la cizaña sembrada en el campo”. Jesús les contestó: “El sembrador de la buena semilla es el Hijo del hombre, el campo es el mundo, la buena semilla son los ciudadanos del Reino, la cizaña son los partidarios del maligno, el enemigo que la siembra es el diablo, el tiempo de la cosecha es el fin del mundo, y los segadores son los ángeles.
Y así como recogen la cizaña y la queman en el fuego, así sucederá al fin del mundo:
el Hijo del hombre enviará a sus ángeles para que arranquen de su Reino a todos los que inducen a otros al pecado y a todos los malvados, y los arrojen en el horno encendido. Allí será el llanto y la desesperación. Entonces los justos brillarán como el sol en el Reino de su Padre. El que tenga oídos, que oiga’’. ”
Mateo 13, 36-43
