Scripture Reflection
“His heart was moved with
pity for them” (See Matthew
14:13-21)
What
a
wonderful picture of who
Jesus is and what he is
like! “His heart was moved
with pity for them.” Here we
have a story in which it is
really clear that Jesus’ disciples and Jesus
himself needed some well-earned rest, and yet
when the crowds come to infringe in his
personal freedom and his right to rest, he
doesn’t think of himself, he doesn’t complain.
Instead, “his heart was moved with pity for
them.” What a great example for us. How is
your heart? What impels your heart? Is it pity
for others as it was the case with Jesus? Jesus’
pity impelled him to do works of charity for
others: he cured the sick among them. He fed
them. What about us? Do we consciously make
an effort to have what our church leaders have
been calling “the preferential option for the
poor?” Recently our Outreach Office has been
telling us of their need to fill their pantry so as
to be able to feed the poor in Freeport. Is our
heart moved with pity? If it is, then no doubt, we
will also be impelled, as Jesus was, to bring
food, money, and other items to help the poor.
It is very easy. All you have to do is to set aside
some goods for the poor and bring them to
church with you. Leave them in the receptacles
for Outreach. What a wonderful picture that
would be of who you are and what you are like!

Prayer at Liturgy
How does the Liturgy differ
from other forms of prayers?
Liturgy is defined as the
“work of the Church”. It is what the Church
does that makes it uniquely itself. The Church
is the assembly of believers, gathered by
God, to do worship in the name of Jesus
Christ. Therefore, the prayer of the Church is
communal prayer, not individual prayer. It
comes from our individual prayer, arises from
our habit of prayer as individuals and as
groups outside of liturgy. The prayer we do
during liturgy is the prayer of the assembled
Body of Christ. It is a collective prayer, which
we offer to God by the right (and the duty)
which comes from our baptism. When we
gather to pray at liturgy, we come not as a
group of individuals, but as the Church itself.

Please take note of the following message
from Eric L. Eversley
July 9, 2008
Dear Neighbor,
In the past few weeks, a great deal of discussion
has taken place regarding recent incidents at
Freeport High School and at other places in the
community, especially in the vicinity of Elk’s Plaza.
Safety and securing in Freeport is the issue. All
Freeport residents are invited to participate in a
round table discussion focused on what we need to
do to improve safety and security in schools and
throughout the community. With this in mind a
Community Forum will be held on Wednesday,
August 13th at 7:00 p.m. in the Freeport High
School. I invite you to join us at this forum. We can
do more as a community to ensure that Freeport
remains a great place to live and attend school.
During the forum, you will have the opportunity to
hear many points of view from friends and
neighbors and contribute your own perspectives. In
order to help anticipate the number of attendees,
we ask that you kindly RSVP to Denise Elmore at
867-5209
or
online
at
delmore@freeportschools.org. As a community,
we hold the power to move Freeport forward. To
that end, I do hope you will take this opportunity to
participate in the sharing of ideas and a process of
Our Holy Redeemer
August 3, 2008
planning that will benefit us all. I look forward to
seeing you there.
Sincerely,
Eric L. Eversley, Ed. D
Superintendent of Schools

Ultreya
Todos los miércoleses después de la
misa de las 7:30 pm celebramos la
Ultreya en el sótano de la iglesia.
Reflexión Semanal:
“Se compadeció de
ella [de la muchedumbre].”
(Ver Mateo 14:13-21) ¡Qué
hermosamente
nos
representa esta escena el
modo de ser de Jesús! El se
compadeció de ellos. En este
relato vemos que Jesús y sus discípulos de veras
necesitaban descansar y sin embargo cuando la
muchedumbre necesitada se presenta, invadiendo su
derecho al bien merecido descanso, él no piensa en sí
mismo, él no se queja. Más bien, se compadece de
ellos. ¡Qué gran ejemplo para nosotros! ¿Cómo está
nuestro corazón? ¿Somos nosotros personas que nos
compadecemos de los necesitados como fue el caso
con Jesús? El corazón de Jesús lo impulsó a
compadecerse por otros, a hacer obras de caridad
por ellos, a sanarlos, a alimentarlos. ¿Qué hay de
nosotros? Hacemos un esfuerzo consciente por tener,
lo que los líderes de nuestra iglesia llaman la opción
preferente para los pobres? Recientemente nuestra
oficina de Servicio Social nos ha estado diciendo que
necesitan ayuda para llenar sus despensas, a fin de
poder alimentar a los pobres de Freeport. ¿Nos
compadecemos nosotros? Si así es, sin duda nos
sentiremos impulsados, como Jesús, a traer alimento,
dinero y otros artículos para ayudar a los pobres. Es
muy fácil, aparte algunas provisiones o alguna
cantidad de dinero para los pobres y tráigalos a la
iglesia con Usted con regularidad. Deje las
provisiones en los receptáculos que se encuentran en
la iglesia. ¡Qué cuadro tan hermoso de quién es usted
y de cómo es Usted!

La Sociedad de
San Vicente de Paúl
En el Evangelio de esta semana
Jesús se compadece de la gente y
debido a esto las sana y las
alimenta. Nosotros, sus seguidores
aquí en la Parroquia de Nuestro Santo Redentor
podemos compadecernos de los pobres y ayudarlos
a sanar y a alimentarse apropiadamente por medio de
nuestras ofrendas a la Sociedad de San Vicente de
Paúl. Tome uno de los sobres para los pobres que se
encuentran e las entradas de la iglesia y pongan su
ofrenda en ellos. No olvide de depositarlos en la
cesta de las ofrendas. ¡Que el Señor se compadezca
de todos nosotros!
Yo sabía que Uds. lo sabían
Orando durante la Liturgia
¿Cómo difiere la Liturgia, la Misa,
de otras formas de oración? La
Liturgia se define como la obra de
la iglesia.. Es lo que la Iglesia hace lo que le brinda su
aspecto singular. La Iglesia es la asamblea de
creyentes, a los cuales Dios reúne, para ofrecer
adoración en el nombre de Jesús. Por eso, la oración
de la iglesia es una oración de comunidad, no una
oración individual. Proviene de nuestra oración
individual, surge de nuestro de hábito de orar como
individuos y como grupos fuera de la Misa. La
oración que hacemos durante la liturgia es la oración
del Cuerpo de Cristo en Asamblea. Es una oración
colectiva, que ofrecemos a Dios por el derecho (y el
deber) que provienen del bautismo. Cuando nos
reunimos a orar durante la liturgia, no venimos como
Our Holy Redeemer
August 3, 2008
un grupo de individuos, sino como la Iglesia misma.
SOMOS UN CENTRO DE RECONCILIACIÓN
en el que nos ayudamos unos a otros a encontrarnos y
acercarnos, para ofrecerle a los que están perdidos en
sí mismos un camino mejor.
