a “forever” ad since the 50th anniversary cookbook will
be a treasure for many years to come. If you would like
to place an ad, please use the form and drop off your
check and camera ready ad in the St. Louis Church
office NO LATER THAN August 15th. You may also

Pcentered on Christ. Faith in Christ brings salvation because in him our lives become
ope Francis explains our faith as a foundation of life: “Faith’s new way of seeing things is
radically open to a love that precedes us, a love that transforms us from within, acting in
us and through us.” (Encyclical “Light of Faith,” #20)
RCIA – The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults– is not like going back to school, because
RCIA is more of a process of growth than a project in school. RCIA means learning not just with the head, but most
importantly with the heart. Our RCIA program, also called the Catechumenate, can benefit:
• Those unbaptized persons who want to become C
­ hristians.
• Those baptized non-Catholic who want to join the Catholic community.
• Adult Catholics who have not yet received First ­Communion or Confirmation.
Call the the office 305-238-7562 Ext. 7010 to speak with F
­ ather Paul for more information.

l Papa Francesco explica nuestra fe como la fundación de la vida: “La nueva lógica de la fe está centrada en
Cristo. La fe en Cristo nos salva porque en él la vida se abre radicalmente a un Amor que nos precede y nos
transforma desde dentro, que obra en nosotros y con nosotros.” (Encíclica “Luz de la Fe,” #20)
RCIA – Rito Cristiano de Iniciación para Adultos– no es volver al colegio, porque RCIA es más como un proceso
de crecimiento que un proyecto escolar. RCIA es aprender no simplemente con la cabeza, sino más importante
aun con el corazón. Nuestro programa RCIA, llamado también el Catecumenado, puede ayudar:
• Adultos que no han sido bautizados
• Adultos Bautizados en otra religión
• Adultos Católicos que no han recibido los Sacramentos de la Eucaristia y la Confirmación

NEEDED - VOLUNTEERS FOR THE HISTORY MUSEUM
The items have been collected. The displays are almost finished. Now we need
YOU. The History Museum will be open after the evening Mass on Saturday
Aug. 24 and all day Sunday, Aug. 25 from 8:00 AM until 10:00 PM. In order to
insure that all of the items collected are well cared for, we need volunteers to
stand by the exhibits for two-hour intervals. If you represent a ministry, or are
an individual who would be able to share this “once in 50 years experience”
please call Pat Desbiens 305-251-8988.
Catholic Bible Fellowship
Each year our ministry offers a journey into the Word of God. With the help
of the Holy Spirit we learn the story of God and His children. From Genesis
to Revelation God’s Word takes us from the beginning of Creation to God’s
final destination for man, His eternal kingdom.
Along the way we read the accounts of other spirits who are messengers,
guides, guardians, helpers and teachers. They are called angels. Most of
the books of the Bible mention these pure spirits. This year’s study has
gathered those scattered passages together to discern the truth God has revealed to us about angels. In addition
we will be drawing from St. John Paul II's 1986 catechetical series on the angels, the Catechism of the Catholic
Church and other official documents as well as consult the early Church Fathers.
We are pleased to offer:
A Scriptural Study of Angels
For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways. Ps 91:11
o 25 week study includes 10 weeks “Entertaining Angels” and 15 weeks “Angels throughout the ages”.
o Commentaries and Workbooks
o Weekly video lectures by Fr. Mitch Pacwa.
o Cost of materials $49.95

Lectio Divina
A Personal Encounter with the Living Word of God
Mondays - beginning September 23 – 7:30 PM
WHAT IS LECTIO DIVINA?
Lectio Divina is a Latin term for “divine reading.” A practice strongly recommended to us by our Church.
Pope Benedict XVI recently said “I would like in particular to recall and recommend the ancient tradition of Lectio Divina. The
diligent reading of Sacred Scripture accompanied by prayer brings about that intimate dialogue in which the person reading
hears God who is speaking and in praying, responds to him with trusting openness of heart (cf. Dei Verbum, n.25). If it is
effectively promoted, this practice will bring to the Church –
I am convinced of it – A NEW SPIRITUAL SPRINGTIME.”
In the 12th century, a Carthusian monk called Guigo, described the four stages essential to the practice of Lectio Divina:
LECTIO The first step is lectio (reading) where we read the Word of God, slowly and reflectively so that it sinks into us. Listening attentively with the “ear of one’s heart.”
MEDITATIO The second step is meditatio (reflection) where we think about the text we have chosen and ruminate upon it so that we take from it what God wants to give us.
ORATIO The third step is oratio (prayer) where we leave our thinking aside and simply let our hearts respond to God in prayer.
CONTEMPLATIO The final stage of Lectio Divina is contemplatio (rest) where we simply rest in the Word of God. We
listen at the deepest level of our being to God who speaks within us with a still small voice. As we listen, we are gradually
transformed from within. Signup after Mass on Aug. 31/Sept. 1 and Sept. 7/8 or
contact Bohn and Jennifer Phillips at [email protected]

Only One Hour
St. Francis Xavier Cabrini was born in Italy yet was the first American citizen to
become a Saint. She started a missionary order in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to care for the
poor in hospitals and schools. When she arrived in New York City in 1889 without even a place to
stay with her small number of sisters, they made several Holy Hours of Adoration before the Sacred
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus every day despite their very demanding schedule. She said: “Pray always
with Jesus, always remembering that a soul united with Him can do everything. At the time of her death in 1917, she had
more than four thousand sisters and over fifty houses in addition to many orphanages, schools and hospitals worldwide.

Fire in the Night
Fuego en la Noche
In South Florida we are used to the heat in
August during the day. Usually at night things cool off.
Such was not the case this past week during our “Five
Nights of Fire.” Things did not cool off at night, but they
got hotter… with the fire of God’s love in the Holy Spirit.
Again this year our parish welcomed evangelist
Jim Murphy whose prophetic words challenged us to
answer in a deeper way the question that Jesus addressed
to his apostles: “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew
16:15) At first Jesus had asked what others said about
him; the disciples said that he was likened to John the
Baptist or Elijah– no faint praise! But then Jesus asked
them what they thought about him. That same question
each of us must answer. Who is Jesus for me? Not
just, what does the bible say? or, what does the Church
teach? But where I am in my relationship with Christ?
What does Jesus mean to me?
Old Stories sounded new. Jim Murphy used
the theme “Who do you say that I am?” and related the
question to different New Testament biblical characters:
Thomas, Nicodemus, Martha and Mary, John, and the
woman at the well. We have all heard these stories
before, but Jim unpacked them with new insights into
the character of these biblical figures and how Jesus
changed their lives. He challenged us to see ourselves
in their stories.
All ages shared together. Devout prayer teams
and enthusiastic music ministries called forth from
participants of all ages an openness to God’s grace and
action in their lives. Jesus drew people together–adults,
teens and children, of different races, cultures and ethnic
backgrounds. All celebrated our unity in the Lord,
what we are called to be as a “catholic” or “universal”
Church. Jesus makes us all one Body, members who
can appreciate our many differences as different gifts we
share in the one Lord.
Time’s passage went unnoticed. Clock watchers
forgot their chronologist obsessions. Caught up in
the lived experience of prayer and reflection, people
listened attentively, sang gustily, danced spiritedly,
prayed heartily, and shared openly with each other the
experience of God touching individuals and drawing
people closer to each other.
Thanks to Jim, the event organizers, the prayer
teams, and the incredible musicians for their wonderful
sharing of faith and love in Christ.
En el Sur de la Florida estamos
acostumbrados al intenso calor de agosto
durante el día. Usualmente en las noches
refresca un poco. Tal no ha sido el caso
durante la pasada semana con las “Cinco
Noches de Fuego.”
Las noches no
refrescaron, sino que se calentaron más...
con el fuego del amor de Dios en el Espírtu
Santo.
Una vez más, éste año, nuestra parroquia dió la
bienvenida al evangelista Jim Murphy cuyas proféticas
palabras nos desafian a contestar con más profundidad la
pregunta que Jesús le hizo a sus apóstoles: “¿Quién dices
que soy yo” (Mateo 16:15). Al principio Jesús les preguntó
qué dicen los demás de mí; los discípulos le decían que él
se parecía a Juan el Bautista o a Elías - sin alabanzas. Pero
entonces Jesús les preguntó que pensaban de él. Esa es la
pregunta que cada uno de nosotros debe constestar. ¿Quién
es Jesús para mi? No sólo lo que la Bíblia dice o, lo que
la Iglesia enseña. Sino, ¿dónde estoy yo en mi relación con
Cristo? ¿Qué significa Jesús para mí?
Las viejas historias parecen nuevas. Jim Murphy
usó el tema “¿Quién dices que soy?” y relacionó la pregunta
con diferentes personajes bíblicos del Nuevo Testamento:
Tomás, Nicodemos, Marta y María, Juan, y la mujer del pozo.
Todos hemos escuchado antes estas historias, pero Jim nos
presentó estos personajes bíblicos desde un punto de vista
diferente y cómo Jesús cambió sus vidas. El desafio está en
que nos veamos en cada una de esas historias.
Todas las edades comparten juntas. Devotos equipos
de oración y un ministerio de música lleno de entuciasmo
que animó a los participantes de todas las edades a abrirse
a la gracia y la acción de Dios en sus vidas. Jesús unió a
todos - adultos, adolecentes y niños, de diferentes razas,
culturas y orígenes. Todos celebramos la unidad con el
Señor, lo que estamos llamados a hacer como “católicos” o
Iglesia “universal.” Jesús nos hizo a todos un sólo Cuerpo,
miembros que pueden apreciar nuestras muchas diferencias
como diferentes dones que compartimos en un sólo Dios.
El tiempo pasó sin darnos cuenta. Los obsecionados
con los relójes se olvidaron. Cautivados con la viva experiencia
de la oración y la reflexión, la gente escuchaba atentamente,
cantaban, bailaban llenos del espíritu, y compartian libremente
los unos con los otros la experiencia de sentir a Dios tocarles
individualmente y acercarles a sus semejantes.
Gracias a Jim, a los organizadores del evento, al
equipo de oración, a los magníficos músicos por su increible
manifestación de fe y amor en Cristo.
Yours in Christ,
Suyos en Cristo,
