FAITH FORMATION OFFICE - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Currently we are planning our 2016-2017 Faith Formation Program for children grades 1-7. As you can imagine, volunteer teachers, aids, and other assistants are essential to the success of our program. Though we have been blessed
with many volunteers to assist us in our ministry, the rapid growth of our Parish finds us in need of still more. A gift of
time in volunteer ministry could be a way of contributing to the mission of our Parish.
I encourage you to consider volunteering for such a position in our Faith Formation Program. The time commitment - 1
1/2 hours of class time on Wednesday, 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and/or on Saturday 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
Full training will be provided. All you truly need is a willingness to help in nurturing the Faith Formation of our Parish’s
young people.
If you are interested please call the Faith Formation Office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday thru Friday. The phone number is 718-331-8811
We thank you for considering this invitation, and we hope to talk to you soon!!

Call to Music Ministry!
St. Athanasius Adult Choir
Are you looking for your call to ministry and fellowship? Do you enjoy
music as an integral part of your worship experience? Perhaps it is time
for you to try the St. Athanasius Adult Choir.
We are currently recruiting new members for our fall season beginning
September 15th - NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY, you do not have to be
able to read music.
You must, however, attend our weekly rehearsals on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm, our 11:30am Sunday Masses and various other Holy
Days. Your stewardship is a responsibility; you must be present weekly, on
time and prepared. Your ministry matters.
It's the perfect time to return or to be a beginner; you will be most
welcome and we'll guide you in all you need. Join us for September
through Christmas and see if it's what you've been looking for.
The musical tradition of the Catholic Church is over 2000 years old
and is a treasure of immeasurable value. Let music help deepen your
faith; make it a part of your daily life. Share. Sing. Pray twice.
Contact: Karen Caponiti, Director of Music Ministries, after any of the
Masses or at stamusic@optimum.net, sometime before September 15th.
Keep watch in future bulletins for more information on our
Children's Choir!

Riflessione del mese di agosto
CHI È IL PIÙ FORTE?
Un giorno, la pietra disse: «Sono la più forte!». Udendo
ciò, il ferro disse: «Sono più forte di te! Lo vuoi vedere?».
Subito, i due lottarono fino a quando la pietra fu ridotta in
polvere.
Il ferro disse a sua volta: «lo sono il più forte! Udendolo, il
fuoco disse: «lo sono più forte te! Lo vuoi vedere?».
Allora i due lottarono finché il ferro fu fuso.
Il fuoco disse a sua volta: «lo sì che sono forte!». Udendo
ciò, l'acqua disse: «lo sono più forte di te! Se vuoi te lo
dimostro». Allora, lottarono fin quando il fuoco fu spento.
L'acqua disse a sua volta: «Sono io la più forte!».
Udendola il sole disse: «lo sono più forte ancora!
Guarda!». I due lottarono finché il sole fece evaporare
l'acqua.
Il sole disse a sua volta: «Sono io il più forte!». Udendolo,
la nube disse: «lo sono più forte ancora! Guarda!». I due
lottarono finché la nube nascose il sole.
La nube disse a sua volta: «Sono io la più forte!». Ma il
vento disse: «lo sono più forte di te! Te lo dimostro».
Allora i due lottarono fin quando il vento soffiò via la nube
ed essa sparì.
ll vento disse a sua volta: «lo sì, che sono forte!». I monti
dissero: «Noi siamo più forti di te! Guarda!». Subito i due
lottarono fino a che il vento restò preso tra le catene dei
monti.
I monti, a loro volta, dissero: «Siamo i più forti!». Ma
sentendoli, l'uomo disse: «lo sono più forte di voi! E, se lo
volete vedere...». L'uomo, dotato di grande intelligenza,
perforò i monti, impedendo che bloccassero il vento.
Dominando il potere dei monti, l'uomo proclamò: «lo sono
la creatura più forte che esista!».
Ma poi venne la morte, e l'uomo che si credeva
intelligente e tanto forte, con un ultimo respiro, morì.
La morte a sua volta disse: Sono io la più forte! Perché
prima o poi tutto muore e finisce nel nulla"
La morte già festeggiava quando, inatteso, venne un
uomo e, dopo soli tre giorni dalla morte, risuscitò,
vincendo la morte. Questo Gesù è la pietra che, scartata
da voi, costruttori è diventata testata d'angolo...
“L’angolo della Sapienza” (La Fede)
"Come ogni essere umano, anche il credente è immerso nelle
fatiche e nei dolori quotidiani. Ma trova nella fede una lente che
gli permette di vedere le stesse cose di sempre sotto una luce
nuova. La fede non cambia il paesaggio, ma modifica lo
sguardo dell'uomo".

TOMADO DE
LA PALABRA ENTRE NOSOTROS
XXII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Hay una actitud que la sociedad por lo general
no promueve: la humildad. Esto se debe en
gran medida a que el mundo no comprende lo
que es la humildad. Ante todo, la humildad entraña fe y confianza en Dios, de la misma
manera que lo opuesto, la arrogancia, es esencialmente gloriarse de sí mismo y menospreciar a Dios. Una persona humilde cree que Dios
es Bueno y encuentra la Fortaleza necesaria
para
perseverar en emdio de Fuertes tentaciones y terribles pruebas; en cambio, el arrogante se distancia de Dios y se encierra en su
propia burbuja egocéntrica incapaz de resistir
las
dificultades ni compreder el significado
del
sufrimiento.
La esencia de la humildad radica en saber que
somos beneficiaries de la generosa e
inmerecida misericordia de Dios. Cuando
conocemos el amor generoso y compasivo de
Jesús, nos damos cuenta que de , en realidad,
somos mendigos y no diferentes de aquellas
personas
que
para
el
mundo
son
insignificantes;nos damos cuenta de que todos
somos hermanos y que estamos llamados a ser
solidarios también con los que ocupan “el ultimo lugar” y compartir con ellos el amor que
hemos recibido.
Jesús es el ejemplo perfecto de humildad. Fue
tan humilde que se hizo llamar hermano nuestro y se identificó con la condición pecadora y la
debilidad del género humano, hasta hacerse
hombre como nosotros, con el fin de salvarnos.
De la misma forma, Jesús nos pide que
tengamos la humildad necesaria para aceptar
como hermanos a los necesitados y attender a
sus necesidades.
Jesús siempre vela por nuestros intereses, y
nos pide que hagamos lo mismo por el projimo.
En la Misa hoy, pídele al Señor que te muestre
el precio que él pagó para librarte del pecado y
deja que su amor te mueva a compartir ese
amor con cuantos te rodean. Que todos nos
comprometamos a ayudar a nuestros hermanos, para que juntos glorifiquemos a Jesús,
Nuestro Humilde Redentor !!!
