20th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"From now on a household of five will be divided, three
against two and two against three." What a sad image
Jesus paints in today's Gospel. Causing family strife-fathers against sons and mothers against daughters--is
not the effect we like to imagine Jesus having on people.
But as he says today, "Do you think that I have come to
establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather
division." The fact is, and always has been, that not
everyone chooses to follow Christ. This causes conflict.
Perhaps it is most tragic when this tension takes place
within families. When certain members of the family
desire to live a full Christian life, to follow the
commandments and worship God as he asks, this can be
irritating at best and infuriating at worst to other family
members who want nothing to do with Jesus or his
church. But faith must persist in spite of domestic
turmoil. Following Jesus is the ultimate good; preserving
peace is secondary. In a sense, today's Gospel gives
faithful Christians permission to move forward in their
faith even if it doesn't make everybody happy.
However, all of this needs to be understood in the light
of Jesus' desire to bring peace. He often used the
greeting, "Peace be with you," and clearly promised
peace to his disciples. Today's Gospel should not be
taken to mean that Jesus desires division. Rather, he is
acknowledging the fact that division will inevitably result
as people declare their differing allegiances. But
thankfully, when we align ourselves with Christ, we are
also uniting ourselves to the One who can restore peace
even in the midst of conflict. So when we see turmoil
arise, let's call upon the power of the true Prince of
Peace.
Year of Mercy: Book Discussion
This year’s Book Discussion will be
September 8th 2016,
save the date and get your book now!
As we venture together through this Jubilee Year of Mercy,
why not let the Lord show you His great Love and Mercy
through Pope Francis’s inspiring book,
The Church of Mercy.
We will be sharing how God’s divine Mercy has shined
down upon us through the words of one of the greatest
spiritual teachers, Pope Francis. Book requests are still being
taken by the rectory office.

You’re Invited…
…to a special information session for men, and their
wives, interested in the Permanent Diaconate:
Wednesday, August 31 at 7:30 PM at St. Aloysius of
Gonzaga Parish
48 West Hollis Street, Nashua.
Page 4- 974
St. Aloysius Parish
Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
(Not a Holy Day of
Obligation this year.)
- Solemn Mass 8:30am.
From 9am to 6pm the
Blessed Sacrament will be
exposed ending with
benediction at 6pm.
- Bishop Libasci is urging
all Catholics to pray for
peace on this day.
“Mass will be celebrated with
highest solemnity. Because
the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary falls on a
Monday this year, the
obligation to attend Mass is
abrogated. However, I urge
all Catholics to make every
attempt to attend Mass that
day regardless.”
- Bishop Libasci
Explaining the Assumption
In 1950, Pope Pius XII, in his encyclical Munificentissimus
Deus, dogmatically defined the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin Mary. In his teaching he states that "at the end of her
earthly course, Mary was assumed into heavenly glory,
body and soul." He also wrote that it was not new doctrine
he was defining, but rather formalizing the revelation
given us through the Apostles. Interesting to note is that the
encyclical simply speaks of the end of her life and does not
talk about her death. The Church leaves it to pious opinion
and does not have a defined position on if or how Mary
died.

Parroquia San Luis de Gonzaga
La Asuncion de la
Virgen Maria
(La obligacion de asistir a
la misa se suprime)
- La santa misa se
realizara a las 8:30 de
la mañana
- De 9 de la mañana a 6
de la tarde, estara
expuesto en Santisimo
y al final se llevara a
cabo la benediction..
- Nuestro Obispo
Libasci nos pide que
rezemos por la paz este
dia.
***
“La Misa se celebrará con la mayor solemnidad. Debido
a que éste año la Fiesta de la Asunción de la Virgen
María cae en lunes, la obligación de asistir a la misa se
suprime. Sin embargo, insto a todos los católicos a hacer
todo lo posible para asistir a la misa de ese día
independientemente.”
- Obispo Libasci
Explicación de la Asunción de la Virgen
En 1950, el Papa Pío XII, en su encíclica dogmática
Deus Munificentissimus, define la Asunción de la Virgen
María. En su enseñanza afirma que "al final de su vida
terrenal, María fue asunta a la gloria celeste, en cuerpo y
alma." También escribió que no era nueva la doctrina
que él estaba definiendo, sino más bien formalización de
la revelación nos han dado a través de los Apóstoles. Es
interesante señalar que la encíclica simplemente habla
del fin de su vida y no habla de su muerte. La Iglesia deja
a la opinión piadosa y no tiene una posición definida
sobre si o cómo María murió.
