Any adults who wish to become Catholic
or a Baptized Catholic in need of Communion AND Confirmation
can register for classes on Sunday, Sept. 27th
following the 11:30 a.m. Mass
(12:30 p.m.) in the Rectory Basement.
For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion
Aware that there are often those who come to Mass who are not Catholic,
or for some reason cannot partake in Communion, we would like to invite
those people in our assemblies to still come forward in the Communion
procession and, as they approach the Priest or Extraordinary Minister of
Holy Communion, to simply cross their arms over their chest,
so that they might receive a simple blessing.
This is a practice that is utilized in may parts of our country, as a way of
making people feel more welcomed and included.

DIACONO DANTE 917 – 602 - 3793
Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di agosto
CHE COS'È UN SACERDOTE?
Egli è un uomo
Quando Paolo, nella lettera agli Ebrei, parla del prete, la
prima cosa che dice è che il prete è scelto fra gli uomini.
A tal punto che perfino l'eterno sommo sacerdote Gesù
Cristo, nato da donna, soggetto alla legge, pellegrino
attraverso la valle di questa realtà peritura, volle essere il
figlio dell'uomo, un uomo, trovato in tutto simile a noi. Il
prete è un uomo. Non è fatto, dunque, di un legno diverso
da quello di cui tutti siete fatti: è vostro fratello. Egli
continua a condividere la sorte dell'uomo anche dopo che
la destra di Dio, attraverso la mano del vescovo, si è
posata su di lui: la sorte dei deboli, la sorte di quelli che
sono stanchi, scoraggiati, inadeguati, peccatori. Gli
uomini, però, se l'hanno a male, se uno si presenta nel
nome di Dio, pur essendo soltanto un uomo: vogliono
messaggeri più splendi, araldi più convincenti, cuori più
ardenti.
Accoglierebbero volentieri dei vittoriosi, di quegli uomini
che hanno sempre una risposta a tutto e un rimedio per
tutto. Terribile illusione! Quelli che vengono sono deboli,
in timore e tremore, uomini che devono anch'essi
continuamente pregare: Signore, io credo, aiuta la mia
incredulità! che devono anch'essi continuamente battersi
il petto: Signore, abbi pietà di me, povero peccatore!
Eppure essi proclamano la fede che vince il mondo e
portano la grazia, che trasforma i peccatori e i perduti in
santi e redenti. Sono uomini quelli che vengono. Vengono
e dicono, con la loro povera umanità: vedete, Dio ha
misericordia di uomini come noi; vedete, per i poveri e
per gli stolti, per i disperati e per i moribondi è sorta la
stella della grazia. Dicono, come messaggeri umani
dell'eterno Dio: non vi adirate contro di noi! Noi sappiamo
di portare il tesoro di Dio in vasi di argilla; sappiamo che
la nostra ombra offusca continuamente la divina luce che
dobbiamo portarvi. Siate misericordiosi verso di noi, non
giudicate, abbiate pietà della debolezza sulla quale Dio
ha posato il fardello troppo pesante della sua grazia.
Considerate come una promessa per voi stessi il fatto
che noi siamo uomini: riconoscete da ciò che Dio non ha
orrore degli uomini. Voi avrete un giorno paura e orrore di
voi stessi, quando avrete sperimentato anche in voi che
cosa è l'uomo, che cosa c'è nell'uomo. Beati voi, allora,
che non vi siete scandalizzati dell'uomo che è nel prete.
Egli è un uomo, affinché voi crediate che la grazia di Dio
può essere concessa all'uomo, al pover'uomo, così
com'è.

XVIII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Hoy, despues de la multiplicación de los panes en el desierto, encontramos a Jesús a la otra orilla del lago. La gente se asombra de ver que el
Señor ya se encuentre allí, y le pregunta cómo lo hizo , pero Jesús no
responde , más bien , les echa en cara que lo buscan por que les ha
dado a comer , pero no porque hayan entendido el significado de la multiplicación de los panes . Han comido , pero “no han visto signos”; han recibido pan hasta saciarse , perno han aprendido nada. Cuando le preguntaron a Jesús “Qué necesitamos para llevar a cabo las obras de Dios? , el
respondió con toda claridad: “La obra de Dios” más extraordinaria que
podemos hacer es abrir el corazón e invitar a Jesús a que haga en él su
morada, nos llene de su presencia y nos transforme.
En realidad la gente no buscaba a Jesús mismo, buscaba lo que él les podia dar. Como aún no lo
conocían, consideraban que la manifestación de Dios era la ley escrita. Por esto , Juan afirma claramente que el enviado dwe Dios es Jesús y que la obra de Dios no consiste en esforzarse por
conocer mejor la ley, sino conocer mejor a Jesús y seguirlo a él.
Todos tenemos sed del amor divino y queremos que el Señor nos llene de su gracia. En lo profundo, todos anhelamos tener comunión con Dios y experimentar su aceptación y su amor paternal.
Busquemos , pues, su presencia cada dia en la oración y recibamos la Sagrada Eucaristía con fe y
devoción; así el Señor nos colmará de sus bienes . Confiemos del todo en él; pidámosle su gracia
para amar a nuestros familiares y estemos dispuestos a ayudar al prójimo. Creamos en él de todo
corazón; así habremos aprendido a hacer la “obra de Dios” en esta vida.
