Dear Parish Family - St. Magdalen de Pazzi Roman Catholic Church

Dear Parish Family,
This past weekend was a high point for our parish and for our diocese. Bishop Checchio ordained
three men to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, one of them, Father Mauricio Tabera who has served as
a transitional deacon here at St. Magdalen’s. It has been a great joy for me and our whole
community to get to know him, support him and pray for him along the last steps of his journey to
the priesthood.
One of the great blessings for all of us, is that we were able to host his first mass of thanksgiving this
past Sunday. It was attended by nearly 500 people at 2:00pm. The mass and procession of the
Blessed Sacrament was beautiful and moving. And the reception with Colombian music, food and
dance was a great sharing in Father Mauricio’s Latino culture. The many visitors and priests
commented enthusiastically about such an uplifting event in the life of the Church.
I am deeply grateful to the parish staff, and celebration committee overseen by Darin Nelson our
pastoral administrator, the special first mass choir formed from the whole music ministry under Mrs.
Cheryl Manfredonia’s direction and the Latino Community, the Filipino American Association, and
the Knights of Columbus who provided volunteers and financial support. All of you gave
generously of yourselves. This is exactly what a Eucharistic community is to be about; giving of
ourselves because we have received from Him, which brings life to others.
May God be glorified.
This week we welcome one of our seminarians, Gilbert Starcher to our parish. He will be serving a
10 week summer internship here. Included in this bulletin is his own introduction. Please welcome
him and keep him in your prayers.
Please also keep me in your prayers. I will go to Colombia, South America next week end to attend
Father Mauricio’s first mass with his family in his hometown. I will bring with me your well
wishes and prayers. I want to express gratitude to his family for his vocation to the priesthood.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. May we never forget how much his heart burns for
love personally for each one of us. Please make every effort to commit time to pray before Jesus in
the Blessed Sacrament in our Chapel.
In the Heart of Jesus,
Father Tim
Evangelization and Mission
Encountering Christ
“The Almighty has
Done Great Things for
Me.”—Luke 1:49
I grew up in a Catholic family
and attended a school run by
Franciscan sisters. These sisters
instilled in me the desire to love
God, through their witness. I would
always see them praying their
rosary or making a visit to the
Church during lunch time. Their
love for Jesus stirred in me the
desire to love Him more deeply.
The Archdiocese of New York had a custom of inviting two
children from each Catholic school to wear the habit of the
religious community which taught them. I was one of the
children whom the sisters chose. As I walked down the aisle of
St. Patrick’s Cathedral dressed up as a religious sister, I realized
that it made me feel close to God and I wanted this.
When I was a senior in high school I met with the superior
of a community and spoke to her about entering religious life.
She gave me a novena to the Infant of Prague and the Sacred
Heart of Jesus to pray and instructed me to come back and
speak to her after I was finished. I entered on September 8 th—
Our Lady’s birthday.
Despite becoming a sister, I still felt that I didn’t really love
Jesus as much as I desired. I kept trying to find a program or to
read a book, or to learn a different way of praying. I always
wanted more in my relationship with Jesus and so I kept
searching for ways to love Him more deeply. As time went on,
a friend invited me to a prayer meeting. I noticed the people
there were praying from their hearts, not from a book; they were
talking to Jesus as a friend. I asked how people learned to pray
like this? I was then invited to be prayed over for a greater
release of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. I noticed immediate
changes in my life, specifically in prayer. Before when I read
the Bible I didn’t understand what I was reading, now the
Scriptures were coming alive, I felt that it was Jesus talking to
me, that He was guiding and directing me.
Through my years of living religious life I have found that
by being in the presence of the Eucharist, placing all my
concerns and cares before Him has allowed me to grow in the
relationship I always longed for. Through spiritual direction, my
mind and heart have experienced healing. God’s love has been
made personal to me; “The Almighty has done great things for
me (Luke 1:49).
—Sr. Barbara
Pope’s Corner
“God never tires of reaching out to us.
He is always ready to listen…All one
needs to do is accept the invitation to
conversion and submit oneself to
justice during this special time of
mercy offered by the Church.”
–Pope Francis, (MV, 19)
For your reflection:
Do I speak to God about my need for
Him and His Mercy?

'We must speak to God as a friend speaks to his friend ...now asking some favor, now
acknowledging our faults, and communicating to Him all that concerns us, our
thoughts, our fears, our projects, our desires, and in all things seeking His counsel.'
--St. Ignatius of Loyola

In order to continue our extended hours of adoration we need committed
adorers, people willing to sign–up for a particular hour of Eucharistic
adoration each week. Please help us make this blessing a reality.
A very ancient and venerable hymn: The Gloria
“Bless the Lord, you angels of the Lord, sing praise to him and highly exalt him
forever.” (Daniel 3:37)
The Gloria is a very ancient and venerable hymn in which the Church glorifies the Father and the
Lamb. It is preferably sung (or said) on Sundays and feast days outside the
seasons of Advent and Lent. The Gloria is a joyful response to the forgiveness received in the Penitential Act. When it was first introduced to the Roman liturgy, it was sung only at the midnight
celebration of the Nativity of our Lord – called the “Angelic Hymn” (because it begins with the
song of the angels that was heard at the birth of Jesus Christ).
“Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, sing
Gloria to God in the Highest and on earth peace to people of good will. ”
(Luke 2:13-14).
During Advent, the Gloria is omitted in anticipation of its first singing by the angels at Bethlehem.
During Lent, it is omitted because of the somber and penitential nature of the season; we consider
what our lives would be like if Christ had not come to save us! It is sung again, with great joy and
fervor, at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, complete with bells ringing! We are
reminded that in the Mass, Heaven and earth are
mystically joined, as explained in Vatican II. Our liturgy is a foretaste of the Heavenly
liturgy, that we journey toward where Christ is sitting at the right hand of the Father.
In the middle section, the text might seem a bit repetitive: we praise you, we bless you, we adore
you, we glorify you, we give you thanks…..but our praise of God’s greatness should be so constant
– almost indescribable!
The prayer ends with contrition and petition: asking the Lord for Mercy, as well as asking for Him
to Hear our Prayer. We can compare this in a way to the Lord’s Prayer: first we glorify Him,
then we thank Him, then we present our needs to Him. Perhaps a little homework: how can you
make your private prayer much like the Gloria?

Liturgies this Week
First Reading: 1 Kings 17:17-24
The child of the mistress of the house where Elijah sojourned
became ill and died. The woman pleaded with Elijah who
took the son and prayed over him. When the child revived
Elijah returned him to his mother who recognized Elijah as "a
man of God."
Second Reading: Galatians 1:11-19
Paul proclaims the gospel, not as human, but coming from the
revelation of Jesus Christ. Paul continues to acknowledge his
own sinfulness and call to grace.
Gospel: Luke 7:11-17
The gospel continues to recount the miracles and healing
powers of Jesus. As Jesus neared the gates to the city of Nain,
they came upon a deceased young man who was being carried out of the city. His mother, a widow, and a large crowd
accompanying the body, met Jesus on the way. Compassionately, Jesus comforts the weeping mother and restores life to
the dead man.
“And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and
said to her, ‘Do not weep.’” LUKE 7:13
This verse is a great reminder that the Stewardship lifestyle
is one of service, putting God first and to “love one another.” Unfortunately today, many people have “passion” for
activities they enjoy - their job and off-work activities. Many times our “passion” to excel is at the expense of
someone else. Maybe we need to focus on a little less passion for our individual concerns and a lot more compassion
for others.
Solemnities, Feasts and Memorials are special days in the
life of the church and provide us with opportunities to
make an extra special effort to attend church and be spiritually nourished with the lives and events of our ancestors.
June 11
Memorial: Saint Barnabas, apostle. He
was a Jew from Cyprus. The Holy Spirit
destined Barnabas to a universal mission,
as it was he who introduced St. Paul to the
other apostles, paving the way for that
broad apostolate of St. Paul’s which required the approval of the pillars of the
Church. He was with Paul in the first missionary journey
and at the first Council of Jerusalem. After having converted many souls to Christ, Barnabas died in Cyprus during Nero’s reign; tradition has it that he was stoned to
death. His name is included in the Roman Canon
(Eucharistic Prayer I).

Eucharistic Adoration: Q & A
“Come to Me all you who are weary… ” Matthew 11:28
What Are the Two Eucharistic Miracles That Took
Place in Lanciano, Italy? (Part One)
Here is the First of the Two Eucharistic Miracles of
Lanciano, Italy:
God our Father longs to increase our faith in His
Son’s
Eucharistic Presence still here on earth. There are
many miracles of the Eucharist in Church history.
One such miracle took place in Lanciano, Italy. This
town’s history is closely related to the crucifixion of Jesus.
In John’s Gospel it says: The soldiers therefore came; and they
broke the legs of the first, and of the other that was crucified with
him. But after they were come to Jesus, when they saw that he
was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the
soldiers with a spear opened his side, and immediately there
came out blood and water. And he that saw it, has given
testimony; and his testimony is true; that you may also believe.
For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled:
“You shall not break a bone of him.” And again another
scripture said: “They shall look on him whom they pierced.”
John 19:32-37
Tradition says the soldier who pierced Jesus’ side was named
Longinus. After observing all that happened, he rightly
proclaimed, “Truly this was the Son of God.” It is said he
suffered from poor eyesight, but he dipped his fingers into the
blood and water dripping from the wounded heart of Jesus and
touched it to his eyes. His eyesight was restored and his heart was
converted. He gave up his position as a Roman soldier and was
later martyred for the faith.
The town of Lanciano was renamed from the original name of
Anzanum for the words “The Lance” in honor of Longinus, the
saint who pierced the side of Jesus.
Next week we will hear about the second miracle involving the
Precious Body and Blood that takes place in Lanciano, Italy. As
in the story about the soldier Longinus, it involves healing and
conversion.

I’m Gilbert Starcher, a seminarian for our Diocese who will be staying here at St. Magdalen’s for the
summer. I am very happy to be here and am hoping to learn much from the life of the parish and from
working with Fr. Tim and the rest of the clergy. I had come previously for a visit last November to
speak about vocations, so I was very excited when Bishop Emeritus Bootkoski assigned me here for the
summer. So far, I have received a very warm welcome, for which I am extremely appreciative. I look
forward to sharing in the spiritual life of the parish and to having an enjoyable time getting to know
you. I give thanks to God for the opportunity to spend the summer with you. I assure you of my
prayers, and I ask for yours in return.
May God Bless you all,

El evangelio continúa contando sobre los milagros y curaciones que Jesús hace. Cuando Jesús se aproxima a las
puertas de un pueblo llamado Naín, vió que llevaban a enterrar a un muerto. Su madre viuda y una multitud
acompañaban el cuerpo. Lleno de compasión, Jesús consuela a la madre y le devuelve la vida al hombre muerto.
