A Word From Our Pastor
THE NARROW GATE
In today’s gospel Jesus was asked a very important question that I believe
all of us would love to know the answer. The question was: “Lord, will only a few
people be saved?” He answered them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door,
for many, I tell you will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough” (Luke 13:2324). In the past I think many people believed that salvation was very hard to achieve
but nowadays the populace choose the other extreme. Their belief is that salvation
is a given; everyone will be saved except the very few who strive to take the path of
avoidance.
Today’s gospel message is simple and clear: God wants everyone to be
saved and there is no special permit available to get to heaven. Even though the
door of the heavenly kingdom is opened to all, there is one condition; we must enter
it through the narrow gate. The Greek word that Jesus used in today’s gospel, which
is translated into English, “to strive” was “agonízomai”, from it comes the word
“agony”. Therefore, “agonízomai” means more than just strive. It requires the
necessary discipline and hard work to accomplish a goal. As many of us have been
watching the Olympics these days in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; we see clearly that if an
athlete wants to win the gold medal for his country he/she has to do more than just
strive to win.
My brothers and sisters, if we want one day to enter through the narrow
gate, into eternal life and be with our Lord Jesus, we have to do more than just try.
We must be determined to practice the teachings of Jesus every day of our lives; it
requires much dedication and sacrifice.
Blessings!
Fr. Quesnel

If you are interested in joining RCIA (The Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults), contact Deacon Gerry Palermo via email at:
[email protected] or (561)386-3647. Each year
men and women embark on an exploration of the Catholic faith.
Some are deciding if they are called into the Catholic Church; others

the Parish Office, across from Madonna Hall.
VOCATION CHALICE PROGRAM
This program encourages families to pray regularly for vocations to
priesthood and consecrated life. Each week a family would receive
the Vocation Chalice at Mass and take it home with a promise to
“pray for vocations” during that week. The family would place the chalice
in a prominent place in their home and would gather together each day to
pray, asking God to help raise awareness for Vocations in our parish. Prayer
booklets will be given to the family with a different prayer for each day. At
the end of the week, the family would bring the chalice back to church so the
next family could take it home. We hope that through prayer, our parish may
become a source of vocations to serve the diocese and the Church. If you are
interested, please call the office at 561-582-4736.
Sacred Heart Children's Choir will have it’s first practice on

A Prayer to Avert Hurricanes
God our Father, Creator of the Universe and Lord over all creation, we
humbly stand before you as your children in thanksgiving for your loving
care and protection. We ask that you keep us safe from all hurricanes
which may threaten us in the coming seasons. Protect us from all fear and
anxiety of storms and give us an ardent trust and hope in Your love and
mercy. You alone have the power to command the sea, the wind and the
rain. You alone bring peace, calm, and safety. Father, we thank you in advance, for you are our only Refuge. We ask this through Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever. Amen. Mary, Queen of the Apostles, and Patroness of our Diocese,
pray for us.
What is G.C.O.
Early in 2009, a group of concerned citizens in Belle Glade gathered to discuss the
issues facing the poor population, particularly the Haitian people, but also inclusive
of other cultures. The churches, social agencies, & hospitals, including health
clinics, are continually faced with difficult situations that deal with adult illiteracy,
access to health care, & navigating the social system in order to obtain acute, preventive, & chronic health-care. Social issues such as housing, transportation, language barriers, employment, teenage concerns , & parenting remain a constant
concern for us. From their was born the G.C.O., Inc.

PÒT KI ETWAT LA
Nan levanjil jodi-a nap wè kouman Jezu te reponn yon kesyon enpòtan
ke yon mesye te poze-L. Mesye te amnde Jezu: “Mèt, èske se de twa moun
sèlman k'ap sove? Li reponn yo: Fè jefò pou n' antre nan pòt jis la; paske, m'ap
di nou sa, anpil moun va seye antre, yo p'ap kapab (Lik 13:23-24). Nan tan lontan
anpil moun te kwè lit e difisil anpil pou yon moun sove men kounye a bagay yo
chanje nou kwè ke tout moun pral nan syèl. Pou anipl moun syèl lan se yon bagay
ki asire, sa vle tout moun ap sove eksepte kèlke gren-n moun ki revize ak tout
konviksyon yo pou mache ak Bondye.
Levanjil jodi-a ap di nou aklè ke Bondye vle pou tout pitit Li yo sove e an
menm tan tou lap di tou ke pa gen patipri pou yon moun antre nan syèl. Men nou
pa dwe blye tou ke men si pòt syèl ouvè byen pou tout moun men gen yon
kondisyon ke toout moun dwe onore; nou dwe pase nan pòt ki etwal la. Mo Gròk
ke Jezu te itilize nan levanjil jodi-a lè Li di “fè jefò pou n antre nan pòt etwal la” se
“Agonízomai” ki se rasi-n mo agoni. Sa vle di nou dwe lite anpil, nou dwe gen
anpil disipli-n, dezi, fòs ak kouraj pou-n goumen kont tout fòs mal si nou vle rive
antre nan pòt etwal la. Nou wè pandan jwèt Olempik yon a peyi Brezil la; tout atlèt
ki vle genyen yo meday an lò yo redi di avan yo rive rachte yon deday. Se pa yon
bagay ki fasil ditou.
Frè ak sè m yo, si nou ta renmen yon jou antre nan pòt etwal lan pou na-l
viv avèk Granmèt nou Jezu poutoutan fok nou fè anpil anpil efò; fòk nou travay
san pran souf kont tout fòs fènwa yo. Fòk nou gen anpil detèminasyon; fòk nou
mete an pratik tout lansèyman Granmèt nou Jezu an aplikasyon nan lavi nou
chakejou malgre tout sakrifis sa mande-n.
Benediksyon!

Robustezcan sus manos cansadas

para que el cojo ya no se tropiece,
sino más bien se alivie.

“ Esfuércense por entrar por la puerta estrecha, porque les digo que
muchos intentarán entrar, pero no podrán ”.

Queridos hermanas y hermanos en Cristo: La Salvación es el tema central de este
Domingo; un tema que nos es públicamente presente en la vida. Muy pocas veces vemos en los medios de comunicacion social una
referencia a la Salvación que nos trae Jesús. Que es la Salvación? La salvación es nada mas,
nada menos que estar en Dios, vivir en plenitud una vida eterna y presente en
nuestra vida diaria. Uno de los requisitos que Jesus nos propone para obtener la
salvacion es la siguiente: “Entren por la puerta estrecha”
La puerta estrecha no es como algunos lo pueden creer,una vida llena de sufrimientos, privaciones y sacrificios. La puerta estrecha,es el encuentro consigo
mismo en la soledad de tu interior.
Hermanos, si desean vivir su vida en una amistad con Jesus y para obtener la Salvación que El nos propone que hagamos lo mejor de nosotros con su ayuda para
entrar en el Reino de Dios!
Oración para pedir protección contra las tormentas
Dios Padre nuestro,
Creador del Universo y Señor de toda la creación, humildemente nos
presentamos a ti, como hijos tuyos, en acción de gracias por tu amoroso
cuidado y protección. Te pedimos que nos guardes de los huracanes que nos
puedan amenazar en la próxima temporada. Protégenos de todo temor y de la
ansiedad que nos causan las
tormentas y danos confianza ardiente en Tu
amor y misericordia. Solo Tú tienes el poder de mandar al mar, al viento y a la
lluvia. Solo Tú traes paz, calma y seguridad. Padre, te agradecemos de antemano, pues tu eres nuestro único refugio.
Te lo pedimos por Cristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo, un
Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
María, Reina de los Apóstoles y Patrona de nuestra Diócesis, ruega por
nosotros.
