Dear Parishioners,
This coming Saturday, October 1, 2016, begins the Month of
the Holy Rosary and also Respect Life Month. These two commemorations are not accidental but actually complement one another.
The Holy Rosary, with its mysteries and prayers, reminds us of
the Gospel and the promises of our salvation. It also reminds us
that the Blessed Mother Mary—with her vocation as the Mother of
God and her life as a disciple of the Lord—are inseparable from
the saving events of her Divine Son. As Christians, we pray the
Holy Rosary for many different reasons. We have confidence that
Our Lady will bring our many needs to her Son. We delight in the
company of Our Lady as we pray. We join ourselves to the actions of Our Lady and her Only-Begotten Son for our salvation.
Most of all, we are united with Our Lady in offering our daily
lives with our Savior to the glory of our Father in heaven. The
Holy Fathers, especially Pope Saint John Paul II most recently,
emphasized the power of the Holy Rosary and encouraged Christians to pray it regularly. In fact, this saintly Pope wrote a beautiful apostolic letter in 2002 on the Holy Rosary, Rosarium V irginis
Mariae. I encourage you to look it up on the internet and read it.
The apostolic letter—which reads easily—can be found at:
https://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_letters/2002/
documents/hf_jp ii_apl_20021016_rosarium-virginis-mariae.html.
On Friday, October 7, 2016, the Memorial of the Holy Rosary,
an Archdiocesan Rosary will take place in the Basilica at 7:00
PM. Everyone is welcome. Rosaries will be blessed and available
for those who need a pair. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
Our Blessed Mother, especially under the title of Our Lady of
Guadalupe, is the patroness of the Respect Life movement. The
image of Our Lady of Guadalupe shows our Blessed Mother with
the Redeemer in her womb. As we pray and act during the month
of October for the protection of human life from the first moment
of conception until the time of natural death, we ask the heavenly
intercession of Our Lady to advance respect for life everywhere
but especially in the United States of America. Next, Sunday,
October 2, 2016, is Respect Life Sunday. Please see the information elsewhere in the Parish Bulletin about our parish participation in Baby Bottles for Life.
The second collection at Mass next Sunday will be directed to
the religious education programs of the Cathedral Parish. We
continue to push toward our parish goal for the annual Catholic
Charities Appeal. If you have not made your annual contribution
to date, please give it serious consideration to do so. Thank you so
very much for all of your goodness and generosity to the Cathedral
Parish in so many ways and to the Catholic Charities Appeal.
God bless you,

Please consider helping Aid for Friends by picking up
the meal trays in Chapel Hall on Sunday mornings during
the Mass times, from 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM. These trays are

VIVIENDO LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Rescate
Unas lluvias muy densas provocaron inundaciones y
forzó a un hombre a subirse al techo de su casa. Vinieron
algunos en un bote de remos y le dijeron: “Ven y sube”. El
hombre contestó: “No, tengo fe y Dios me salvará”. Así es
que remando se alejaron. Vino después una lancha motora.
“Súbete”, le dijo el que manejaba. “No, tengo fe y Dios me
salvará”. La lancha aceleró y se alejó. El agua tocaba ya los
bordes del techo mientras que el hombre oraba para ser salvado. Llegó un helicóptero y el piloto le gritó que le iba a
bajar una soga. “No, tengo fe y Dios me salvará”. El helicóptero se marchó y el hombre siguió rezando desesperadamente. Las aguas subieron más y en medio de corrientes
violentas el hombre se ahogó. Ya en el cielo se fue ante
Dios y le dijo: Tuve fe en ti, oré para que me salvaras y no
hiciste nada. ¿Por qué?” Dios lo miró perplejamente y le
contestó: “Te envié dos lanchas y un helicóptero. ¿Qué más
esperabas?”

¡Año del Jubileo de la Misericordia
Reflexión para Octubre
El Año del Jubileo de la Misericordia
-La Iglesia de la misericordia«… uno de los soldados le abrió el costado con la lanza, y
al instante salió sangre y agua» – Jn 19:34.
A través de los tiempos, la Iglesia ha entendido este momento en la vida de Cristo como el nacimiento de la Iglesia.
San Juan Crisóstomo (siglo 4) explica, «agua y sangre simbolizaban el bautismo y la Santa Eucaristía. De estos dos
sacramentos la Iglesia nace». Al mismo tiempo, vemos en la
sangre y el agua que fluyen del corazón traspasado de Jesús
un símbolo perfecto de la misericordia infinita de Dios.
En esta escena del corazón de Jesús siendo traspasado
por nosotros, encontramos simultáneamente una revelación
de los sacramentos de la Iglesia y una revelación de la Divina Misericordia. El hecho de que misericordia y sacramento
se revelan en el mismo momento nos permite comprender
que los sacramentos son encuentros con la misericordia de
Dios.
El Año Santo es un buen momento para considerar
cuánto actualmente experimentamos esta verdad. Muchas
veces nos acercamos a los sacramentos de rutina, sin saber
por qué los estamos recibiendo y sin realmente sentir que
tienen algún efecto en nuestras vidas. Pero si los sacramentos verdaderamente fluyen desde el corazón misericordioso
de Jesucristo, entonces la recepción de los sacramentos debe
ser –¡cada vez!– un momento profundamente transformativo.
Vamos a pasar este tiempo de gracia pidiendo a Dios
que desate el poder de los sacramentos para nosotros y así
experimentar cómo verdaderamente son, un encuentro con
el asombroso, impactante misericordioso amor del corazón
de Dios que puede cambiar la vida. -Meghan Cokeley, Oficina para la Nueva Evangelización, Arquidiócesis de Filadelfia.
Cómo vivirlo
Durante el Año de la Misericordia, pida a Dios la gracia
para experimentar los sacramentos como son realmente.
Haga un esfuerzo para ser más abierto y atento cada vez que
reciba la Sagrada Comunión o vaya a la confesión. Estudie
enseñanzas hermosas de los sacramentos. Trabaje en eliminar de su vida el pecado que podría «obstruir» su capacidad
para recibir los efectos de los sacramentos.
Cita de Tradición Católica
“Y el Señor Jesús, también en nuestra vida personal nos
acompaña: con los Sacramentos. El Sacramento no es un
rito mágico: es un encuentro con Jesucristo, nos encontramos con el Señor. Es Él el que está a nuestro lado y nos
acompaña.” -Papa Francisco

JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY
October Reflection:
Year of Mercy - The Church of Mercy
“…a soldier thrust his lance into His side, and immediately
blood and water flowed out.” –Jn 19:34 Throughout the
ages, the Church has understood this moment in the life of
Christ as the birth of the Church. St. John Chrysostom (4th
cent.) explains, “Water and blood symbolized Baptism and
the holy Eucharist. From these two sacraments the Church is
born.” At the same time, we see in the blood and water
flowing from the pierced heart of Jesus a perfect symbol of
God’s infinite mercy.
In this scene of Jesus’ heart being pierced for us, we find
simultaneously a revelation of the Church’s sacraments and
a revelation of Divine Mercy. The fact that mercy and sacrament are revealed in the same moment allows us to understand that sacraments are encounters with God’s tender mercy.
The Holy Year is a good time to consider how much we
actually experience this truth. Many times we approach the
sacraments out of routine, not really knowing why we are
receiving them and not really sensing that they have any
effect in our lives. But if the sacraments truly flow from the
merciful heart of Jesus Christ, then our reception of the sacraments should be – each time! - a deeply transformative
moment.
Let us spend this time of grace asking God to unlock the
power of the sacraments for us so that we experience them
as they truly are, an encounter with the jaw-dropping, lifechanging merciful love of God’s Heart. –Meghan Cokeley,
Office for the New Evangelization, Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
How to Live It
During the Year of Mercy, ask God for the grace to experience the sacraments as they truly are. Make an effort to be
more open and attentive each time you receive Holy Communion or go to Confession. Study the Church’s beautiful
teachings on the sacraments. Work on removing from your
life the sin that might be “clogging up” your ability to receive the effects of the sacraments.
________________________________________________
Quote from Catholic Tradition:
“A final question: what can I, a weak fragile sinner, do? God
says to you, Do not be afraid of holiness; do not be afraid to
aim high, to let yourself be loved and purified by God; do not
be afraid to let yourself be guided by the Holy Spirit. Let us
be infected by the holiness of God. Every Christian is called
to sanctity (see Dogmatic Constitution, Lumen Gentium, nos.
19–42); and sanctity does not consist especially in doing extraordinary things, but in allowing God to act.” -Pope Francis,
The Church of Mercy

LIVING STEWARDSHIP NOW
Rescue
It had been raining for days and days on end and a terrible flood had come over the land. The water rose so rapidly
that a man was forced to climb onto the roof of his house.
As the water level increased, two people in a rowboat came
by and told him to get in. “No,” replied the man on the roof.
“I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will save me.” So the
people rowed away. The man prayed. The water was already above the second story windows and suddenly a
speedboat came roaring by. “Climb in!” shouted the man in
the boat. “No,” replied the man on the roof. “I have faith in
the Lord; the Lord will save me.” So the man in the speedboat gunned his engine and left. As the waters lapped at the
edge of the roof, the man held onto the chimney and prayed
for God to save him. He heard the sound of an approaching
helicopter. Over a loudspeaker, the pilot announced that he
would lower a rope to the man on the roof. “No,” replied the
man on the roof. “I have faith in the Lord; the Lord will
save me.” So the helicopter whirled away as once again the
man prayed desperately to God to save him. The floodwaters flowed up the roof until they were swirling about him
as he clung to the chimney. The currents were so fierce that
they washed him away and, alas, the poor man quickly
drowned. When he arrived in heaven, the man marched
straight over to God. “Heavenly Father,” he said, “I had
faith in you, I prayed to you to save me, and yet you did
nothing. Why?” God gave him a puzzled look, and replied,
“I sent you two boats and a helicopter. What more did you
expect?”
