ST. KILIAN PRAY FOR US
Sunday, August 16, 2015
FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS AND THE SUNDAY EUCHARIST
Mass attendance is below 20
percent in most parishes on Long
Island. In an effort to understand
Why? a questionnaire was taken
of 284 parents of second graders
at St. Rose in Massapequa. Very
similar results are likely at St. Kilian.
1. How often do you participate at weekend Mass?
A. 19% claimed they celebrate Mass at least once a
week.
B. 31% of parents claimed two or three times a
month.
C. 65% of parents indicated that they did not attend
Mass at all during the year; or only on Christmas
or Easter and some special occasions.
2. What are some of the reasons why you do not
participate in mass?
A. Sports and other Children’s ActivitiesB. Too difficult to take the children C. Need time off on the weekend due to their busy
work schedule.
D. Spouse is not Catholic
E. Mass is too boring
F. Can’t understand the priest’s accent (foreign
born priests)
3. What would you need to participate in parish life
on a more steady basis?
A. More time - 137 out of 284 (55%) parents believe
that if they had more time they would worship on
a more regular basis.
B. A babysitter would help.
C. Christian parenting skills offered to parents.
Only one of the reasons why parents do not
participate at Mass have to do with understanding the
Mass. All their reasons for not participating have to do
with other priorities. These parents consider these other
priorities as more important than receiving the Body and
Blood of Christ weekly, and participating with a
community of believers in worshiping God. Telling them
to make God first in their family is not convincing them.
Getting our priorities in order happens when we
encounter and experience God’s love intimately. By
analogy, it is like falling in love. When we fall in love we
cannot get enough of the other person. We want to know
all about them, their history and experiences, their
personality, joys and sorrows. In addition, we want to
tell everyone we know all about them. How
wonderful he or she is! The same is true when we
fall in love with Jesus. We cannot get enough of
him.
“Don’t place the cart before the horse”. First
comes a life-changing spiritual awakening. Second,
once this happens, we want to learn all about Him
in prayer, the Bible, the sacraments- especially the
Eucharist, and in the teachings of our church.
What most parents have not experienced is a
personal friendship with Jesus Christ. Spiritual
awakenings need to be fostered by church leaders.
Prayer opportunities, the development of small
Christian communities, and parish missions allow
for the Holy Spirit to work in the lives of those who
attend them.
How do we encourage nonparticipating
Catholics to come to such spiritual events, so that
true conversion can occur in their lives? Since the
desire for sacraments like baptism, first
Communion and confirmation still draw parents
and their children into parishes, we need to have
parent meetings designed to foster spiritual
awakening. Perhaps mandating that parents
participate in a Cursillo weekend as they prepare
their child for first holy Communion. A prayerful
encounter with Jesus will lead to a deep hunger for
the Scripture and the sacraments.
Personal invitation, one to one, is also an
effective way. Since nearly 20% of young parents
express a desire for weekly Eucharist, these young
parents can witness to their peers the importance of
worshiping God with a faith community on a
regular basis. We need to keep offering
opportunities for baptized Catholics to fall in love
with the Lord. Until that happens, we will not see
them in church very often.
As our parish Steering Committee develops our
parish vision statement, spirituality and
opportunities for encounters with Jesus Christ need
to be a top priority.

Four points of action recommended
in response to Planned Parenthood
Posted 2 weeks ago by The Long Island Catholic Staff
Posted in
Bishop’s Murphy’s Blog
The week-long controversy in the media about Planned Parenthood’s apparent practice of harvesting
organs and parts of a child’s body for sale during late term abortions should not end with a shrug of the
shoulders and business as usual. The tragic reality of abortion on demand in our nation is a black mark on
us as a society and an evil that can never be overlooked. Now this practice of the taking of innocent life in
the womb is being compounded by the largest abortion provider in our nation by a practice that should
horrify us all, even the abortion providers themselves.
The women on the tapes who described the procedures of late term abortion and suggested “better ways”
might be found to kill the child so that “more organs can be harvested for sale” brings them and us to a new
low in a society already become coarse in its difference to abortion, euthanasia and teenage suicide, not to
mention the senseless killings that have been increasing in frequency across our land.
I would suggest that four things need to be done.
First, the U.S. government should be called upon to stop financing Planned Parenthood with taxpayers
dollars, some $500 million according to one source.
Second, Planned Parenthood should “come clean,” admit they were wrong, ask for an outside audit and,
without our accepting what they do for a living, promise us and our society that they will cease this
practice of making money from acts that compound the horrific evil of abortion itself.
Third, every citizen, and especially we who are Catholics, should demand of every candidate for public
office that he or she take a public stand on whether or not they support or oppose Planned Parenthood’s
heinous and cynical profit making from the tragedy of aborted children.
Fourth, we must pray daily for an end to the tragic scourge that is abortion, the killing of the innocent, the
harm done to women and the shame of our society.

Memorare
Remember, O Most gracious
Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to your
protection,
implored your help,
or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto you,
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother,
To you do I come;
before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions but,
in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that “Whoever eats my
flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” As
we know, our loving God cannot be seen by our eyes, but
only experienced through loving people.
With love for your neighbors who have nothing,
look around your house to see what furniture,
household items, and clothing you can no longer
use...and give it to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
If you are in need of assistance or would like information
about joining or contributing to the Society, please call 516473-9562. Leave a message and a phone number. A
member will return your call as soon as possible. You may
visit our website at www.svdprvc.org. Please remember the
Poor Boxes at the exits of the church. They are the Bread
Boxes of the poor and hungry.

16 DE AGOSTO DE 2015
20º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
En la fe cristiana, creemos que como
bautizados vamos acompañados de recibir el cuerpo
y de beber la sangre del Señor. Sólo de ese modo
se realiza entre Jesús y el creyente la comunión de
vida y de dinamismo espiritual. Sólo por medio de la
palabra de Dios escuchada, creída y vivida,
podemos conocer el verdadero significado de la
Eucaristía. Esto es lo que Jesús nos muestra en
este capítulo 6 de Juan. “Como el Padre, que me ha
enviado, posee la vida y yo vivo por él, así también
el que me come vivirá por mí” (Jn 6, 57).
Y no cualquier clase de vida, sino una vida
que nos permita sonreír, ser felices en este mundo
cansado de violencia y falta de Dios. Una vida que
nos dé fuerzas para evadir todos los obstáculos que
se nos presenten por conservar unida a la familia, a
los compañeros de trabajo y a la sociedad. Una vida
con menos soledad y egoísmo entre nosotros. Una
vida donde se viva la transparencia, donde la
mentira y la falsedad no tengan espacio. Una vida
donde exista el poder decirle a la esposa, al esposo,
perdóname, me equivoqué. Para eso, para que
tengamos una vida de calidad, es que Cristo nos ha
dejado su carne en forma de pan y su sangre en
forma de vino en la Eucaristía. “El que come de este
pan vivirá para siempre” (Jn 6, 58). Ojalá que al
reflexionar estos domingos en el significado del
sacramento de la Eucaristía, la sabiduría de Dios
llene nuestro corazón y nos haga crecer un poco
más en su amor y compartirlo entre nuestros
hermanos y hermanas.
