ST. JAMES ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH WEEKLY BULLETIN - June 04-05, 2016
Words from Our Pastor -
Fr Ben
HEART FILLED WITH
LOVE AND PITY
UN CORAZON LLENO
DE AMOR Y PIEDAD
Last Friday we celebrated the feast of the Most Sacred
Heart of Jesus. In the Biblical language, the heart is not
a collection of sentiments but it is an expression of intimate depth of the person. It is one’s conscience. To say
that Jesus is meek and humble of heart , does not only
describe his tenderness but most of all his radical and
total love which seeks the lost sheep. This is the content of the parable of the lost coin and the prodigal son,
which completes the triptych of compassion. Christ’s
heart beats for the least, the marginalized and the miserable sinners. For whom does our heart beat?
El Viernes pasado celebramos la fiesta del Sagrado
Corazón de Jesús. En términos biblicos, el corazón no
solamente es una colección de sentimientos sino una
expression de intimidad profunda de la persona. Es la
consiencia de uno mismo. El decir que Jesús es manso
y humilde, no solamente describe su ternura pero más
que nada su amor radical y amor total que busca sus
ovejas perdidas. Esto es el contenido de las parábolas
de la moneda perdida y el hijo pródigo, que completa el
tríptico de compassion. El corazón de Cristo late para el
más menos, los marginalizados y pecadores miserable.
¿Por quiénes late nuestro corazón?
The feast of the Sacred Heart, is a privilege and grace,
but also carries with it responsibility. First the love we
receive from the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a private possession, but one that must be shared with all. Just as
the Father makes no distinction and makes the sun rise
on the evil and the good, so must be in our sharing of
the love of Christ. Second, the concern that God has for
us and our Universe is a concern which we must show
our world. Third the intimate connection of the Sacred
Heart and the Eucharist reminds us that just as Christ is
so easily available to us, we must also be to each other.
The Eucharist and the feast of the Sacred Heart ought
not to be private and private devotions, but celebration
that makes us ready to reach out in service and availability to anyone who needs us.
This Sunday we encounter Jesus upon entering the city
of Nain, Jesus encounters the funeral of the only son of
the widow. The pain of the mother touches the core and
Luke applies to the compassionate Christ the verb that
evokes the maternal womb. Given this eternal pain,
Jesus goes beyond what prophet Elijah did when he
interceded with God to heal the widow’s son (1Kings
17:21). He can act with appropriate authority of the son
of God and therefore pronounce the imperative arise,
literally to wake up: the same verb will be heard at the
resurrection of Christ; the same voice we all expect to
hear at the end of history.
El Dia de Fiesta del Sagrado Corazón, es un privilegio y
gracia, pero también tiene su responsabilidad.
Primeramente el amor que recibimos del Sagrado
Corazón es una posesión privada, pero una que debe
ser compartida con todos. Igual como el Padre no hace
distincciones y hace que el sol salga por los buenos y
malos, también nosotros debemos compartir el amor
de Cristo. Segundamente, el interés que Dios nos tiene
y por nuestro Universo es el interés que nosotros
debemos que tener por nuestro mundo. Terceramente,
la conneción íntima entre el Sagrado Corazón y al
Eucaristía nos hace recordar que igual como Cristo se
nosh ace accesible facilmente también nosotros
debemos estas accesibles para uno al otros. La
Eucaristía y la fiesta del Sagrado Corazón no deben ser
devociones privadas sino una celebración que nos
hace listos a estar al servicio de los demás y
disponibles a cualquiera que nos necesite.
Este domingo encontramos a Jesús entrando a la
cuidad de Naím, Jesús se enfrenta con el funeral del
único hijo de una viuda. El dolor de la mamá esta a lo
más profundo y San Lucas le aplica a Jesús compasivo
el verbo que evoca el vientre materno. Dado este dolor
eterno, Jesús va hasta más alla de lo que el profeta
Elías hizo cuando el intercedió con Dios que sanara el
hijo de la viuda (1Reyes 17:21). Él puede actuar con
autoridad propia como Hijo de Dios y por lo tanto
pronunciar el imperativo levantese, literalmente a
despertarse: el mismo verbo será escuchado en la
resurreción de Cristo; la misma voz que todos
esperamos oír al fín de historia.

Special Thoughts from the St. James Pro Life Ministry
The Miracle of Conception
Varied Help for Grandfamilies
Week 40of 40 – We complete the journey

Ready or not, here I come!
A new life starts when just one sperm cell from the father joins and fertilizes an egg cell from the mother. Just moments after
conception numerous hereditary characteristics are determined. These
include the different features and individual trademarks such as gender,
color of eyes, hair and skin; the shape of the face and body; and certain
qualities of temperament and intelligence. A wonderful and unique little
life has begun.
Join us the 1st Sunday of every month at 8:00am as we pray the
rosary for the unborn in front of the Planned Parenthood at 5771 W.
Eugie with the Knights of Columbus.
The Pro-Life Ministry would like to invite you to join us every 1st Tuesday of the month at 6pm in the church hall. Help us to defend those
who cannot defend themselves!
SVdP
Dear Parishioners:
First, thank you to all of you for the wonderful financial support you give
our Conference. Our May collection was a most generous $4500. I
want to assure you that the Conference tries to be the very best stewards of the gifts God and you give us. We evaluate each client coming
to us for financial assistance. We listen to their story and accept it at
face value. Often times, our listening to them is the greatest gift we
give. In fact, clients that we have not been able to help financially often
comment how much they appreciated us visiting with them and listening. In this way, we are bringing them the hope and solace that only
Jesus can give.
Your SVdP Conference at St James is always looking for people who
feel called to minister to the lost and the forsaken as Jesus calls us to
do. Our patron saint, St James says a lot about why we do what we do
in James 2:14-26. The writer concludes, “For just as a body without a
spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead”. There are many ministries at St James in addition to SVdP that need you to help with the
“work” that they do. What “work” are YOU doing?
Please pray on what you are called to do to show your faith. And then
DO it. Yes, Jesus prayed, but more than that, He DID. We know His
works well, does He know yours?
God will bless you more than you can ever imagine if you work for Him.
Thank you and my God bless you and our parish
