PRAY FOR THE FAITHFUL
DEPARTED
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
XX Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading: Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10
Jeremiah urged the people of Jerusalem to surrender to the
enemy. This angered the princes, who then requested that
Jeremiah be put to death. The king allowed the princes to
leave him in a cistern without food or water. But after Ebed
Melech pleaded for Jeremiah's life, the king decided to free
him.
Second Reading: Hebrews 12:1-4
This letter to the Hebrews inspires all Christians to persevere,
in spite of the trials they may face. Jesus endured much
suffering and was rewarded by God. Despite our struggles, we
must remember Jesus' ability to endure and maintain strong
faith in him.
Gospel: Luke 12:49-53
Jesus tells his disciples that his message will not bring peace
to the earth. Instead, even families will become sharply
divided because some members will embrace him, while
others condemn him.

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Blood
Drive: Sunday, August 28th, 2016. Please plan to
donate! Blood supplies traditionally run low in the
summer and each and every pint can help save us
life. For more information please contact the rectory at
845-359-1230 or email [email protected]
Pastor’s Corner:
We are coming to the conclusion of summer very soon.
This is a time to start back to school and in our case the
new financial year begins. I want to thank you for all your
sacrificial support for the parish that you do. Last year we
embarked on an increased giving campaign for the parish.
Those who responded to the call I thank you. However we
have seen a decrease in the collection and this is probably
due to the summer months. It is my hope that we can be
back at our $16,000 mark once again.
Our electric bill (and yes I bring this up a lot) is extremely
expensive. Let me give you an example. Sunday Mass at
the parish uses both the school, church, and chapel. Most
places the church is only used. Here we use all three
buildings. Lights , bathrooms being used, water running,
and the heat and the AC we spend $52,000 a year on
electricity. I would love to reduce that amount and use the
savings for a some projects here at the parish. We are the
largest parish in the area and the most active. What we do,
and I mean you reading this, is amazing.
You may have noticed the envelopes have changed. We
have done this to help lower the costs to the parish. Take a
moment and think about tithing. (There is a pamphlet that
can help you make this decision in your mailings.) This
would be a great help to the parish. Please take this in
consideration when you make your offertory donation.
With the new fiscal year we have made some
administrative changes in the rectory. My job as your
pastor, as I have said before, is to protect the parish
spiritually and financially. I work with my staff to make
the best decisions for the future. The good old days are
gone and I want to remind you that the buildings are to be
vacated by 10:00 p.m. for all ministries. Your schedules
must be in to the rectory before September. I have asked
for them and received only a small amount. Again if you
do not have them submitted then do not seek a key from
the rectory. It is a simple as this.
I want to work and make this parish stronger. We need to
come together and be Saint Joseph Church. I encourage all
of you to attend a Mass that you have not been to here at
the parish. Children of the parish CCD program I want to
see you and your family at the Masses getting your cards
signed. Parents you also need to attend Mass and set the
example for your children. A strong family makes for a
strong parish.
Finally, we will soon be returning to our regular schedules
as the summer comes to the end. I look forward to the new
year ahead and the great work that we will do together.
God Bless +
20E DIMANCHE DU TEMPS ORDINAIRE
1ÈRE LECTURE: JÉRÉMIE: 38, 4-6. 8-10
Ma mère, tu m’as enfanté homme de
querelle pour tout le pays
PSAUME: PS 39 (40)
R: Seigneur, viens vite à mon secours !
2ÈME LECTURE: HÉBREUX: 12, 1-4
Courons avec endurance l’épreuve qui
nous est proposée
EVANGILE: SAINT LUC: 12, 49-53
Je ne suis pas venu mettre la paix sur terre,
mais bien plutôt la division
LE FEU DE L’ESPRIT, DES APPELS À IDENTIFIER
Comme les disciples, il est habituel de croire que
Jésus est venu apporter la paix sur la terre. N’est-il
pas le Prince de la paix annoncé par les prophètes ? Dès lors,
le discours de l’évangile d’aujourd’hui dérange. Qu’est-ce qui
nous a échappé dans le message de Jésus ? La paix. Jésus
proclame un royaume de paix, car lui-même est la paix. Les
artisans de paix sont heureux puisqu’ils sont appelés fils de
Dieu (Mt 5, 9). Le salut et la paix vont de pair, comme lorsque
Jésus guérit la femme souffrant d’hémorragies (Mc 5, 34). La
paix est le don du Ressuscité (Lc 24, 36 ; Jn 20, 21)… Si la
paix n’est pas la source de la division, serait-ce alors le feu ?
Le plus souvent, il est une image de l’Esprit Saint. Ce sont les
langues de la Pentecôte (Ac 2, 3). Ou le baptême annoncé par
Jean : Jésus baptisera dans le feu (Mt 3, 11 ; Lc 3, 16). Le feu
de l’Esprit habite et anime celui qui s’ouvre à lui, le dotant de
ses dons (Ga 5, 22-23). L’Esprit suscite l’énergie, la générosité,
l’action, le service, l’engagement, le témoignage... La réponse
de chacun au feu de l’Esprit est source de division. C’est
l’expérience de conversion des premiers disciples, laissant
famille, terre et métier et suivant Jésus sur-le-champ. C’est
François d’Assise embrassant une vie de pauvreté. C’est
Charles de Foucauld, Louis et Zélie Martin, Mère Teresa…
C’est chacun d’entre nous lorsque nous empruntons les
chemins de la sainteté. Ainsi le pape Jean-Paul II disait, lors
des Journées mondiales de la jeunesse de l’an 2000 : « Si
vous êtes ce que vous devez être, vous mettrez le feu au
monde entier ! »

Le Coin du Pasteur:
Nous nous approchons de la fin de l’été. C'est le temps de préparer
la rentrée des classes; pour nous autres au bureau, c’est le début de
l’année fiscale. Je tiens à vous remercier pour tous vos efforts et
sacrifices. L'an dernier, nous avons entrepris une campagne pour
l’augmentation des dons à la paroisse; nombre ont répondu à l'appel.
Toutefois, nous avons constaté une diminution dans la collection qui
se justifie probablement par la saison estivale. J'espère que nous
reviendrons à notre “$16,000”.
Notre facture d’électricité est extrêmement coûteuse. Le dimanche
nous utilisons à la fois l'école, l'église, et la chapelle. Les lumières, les
toilettes, l’eau, l’air conditionné en constante utilisation porte le
montant de notre facture annuelle à $52,000. J'aimerais bien réduire
ce montant et utiliser cet argent pour réaliser certains projets pour la
paroisse. Nous sommes la plus grande et la plus active paroisse de la
zone. Ce que nous faisons, je peux vous en assurer, est
extraordinaire.
Vous avez peut-être remarqué un changement dans la configuration
des enveloppes; c’est l’une des actions prises pour diminuer les
dépenses. Ce fournisseur nous offre le même produit à un prix réduit.
Si vous réfléchissez sur la dîme. il y a un dépliant dans le paquet
(lisez-le) qui vous aide à prendre cette décision. Avec la nouvelle
année fiscale, nous avons fait quelques changements administratifs
dans le presbytère. Mon travail comme pasteur, comme je l'ai dit
avant, est de protéger la paroisse spirituellement et financièrement.
Je travaille avec mon personnel pour prendre les meilleures décisions
pour l'avenir. Les bons vieux jours sont révolus, et je tiens à vous
rappeler que toute activité ne doit pas aller au delà de 10:00 heures,
le soir. Nous vous rappelons de faire parvenir votre programmation
pour l’année avant le mois septembre.
Je veux travailler à rendre cette paroisse plus forte. Nous avons
besoin de nous unir pour le bien l'église de Saint Joseph. Je vous
encourage tous à assister à la messe, que cela soit ici à la paroisse
ou ailleurs. Les enfants du programme CCD doivent se faire
accompagner de leurs parents afin de faire signer leur carte de
messe. Une famille forte rend sa paroisse forte.
Enfin, nous allons bientôt retourner à notre horaire habituel comme
l'été arrive à sa fin. J'ai hâte de commencer la nouvelle année et voir
le résultat de l'excellent travail que nous ferons ensemble. Merci. Que
Dieu vous bénisse!
Dans le Christ +,
VIGÉSIMO DOMINGO EN TIEMPO ORDINARIO
PRIMERA LECTURA: JEREMÍAS 38:4-6, 8-10
Jeremías instó a la gente de Jerusalén a rendirse al enemigo.
Esto enojó a los príncipes, quienes pidieron que mataran a
Jeremías. El rey permitió que los príncipes lo dejaran en una
cisterna sin agua ni comida. Pero después de que Ebed-melec
suplicó que no mataran a Jeremías, el rey decidió liberarlo.
SEGUNDA LECTURA: HEBREOS 12:1-4
Esta carta a los hebreos inspira a todos los cristianos a
perseverar, a pesar de las dificultades que tengan. Jesús pasó
por mucho sufrimiento y fue recompensado por Dios. A pesar
de nuestras dificultades debemos recorder a Jesús y mantener
una fuerte fé en El.
EVANGELIO: SAN LUCAS 12:49-53
Jesús dice a sus discípulos que su mensaje no traerá paz a la
tierra. Aún familias se dividirán grandemente pues algunos de
sus miembros se unirán a El y otros lo condenarán.
“Ya que estamos rodeados de
una verdadera nube de
testigos, despojémonos de
todo lo que nos estorba, en
especial del pecado, que
siempre nos asedia, y corramos resueltamente al combate
que se nos presenta. Fijemos la mirada en el iniciador y
consumador de nuestra fe, en Jesús… Piensen en aquel
que sufrió semejante hostilidad por parte de los
pecadores, y así no se dejarán abatir por el desaliento.”
Cada cuatro años, atletas del mundo entero se congregan para
competir por medallas y reconocimiento.
Aunque las
Olimpiadas duran pocas semanas, el tiempo de preparación
parece eterno. Niños crecen como gimnastas, corredores
saltan vallas, clavadistas practican desde alturas peligrosas,
todo por la gloria de convertirse en campeones.
La oportunidad de participar es algo realmente especial para
los ganadores. Mucho dinero se gasta en las entradas, en la
construcción de instalaciones. Ahora estamos en Río para la
competencia. Otra competencia es la de puestos políticos.
Mitines, camarillas, reuniones municipales y convenciones han
estado frente a nosotros por muchos meses. La carrera final
se aproxima. Somos observadores.
Rincón
del
Párroco:
Estamos llegando a la
conclusión de verano muy pronto. Este es un buen momento para
iniciar el regreso a la escuela y, en nuestro caso el nuevo ejercicio
que comienza. Quiero darles las gracias por todo su apoyo a la
parroquia de sacrificio que haces. El año pasado iniciamos una
campaña dando mayor para la parroquia. Aquellos que respondieron
a la convocatoria, le doy las gracias. Sin embargo, hemos visto una
disminución en la colección y esto es probablemente debido a los
meses de verano. Es mi esperanza que podamos estar de vuelta en
nuestra marca de 16.000 dólares una vez más.
La factura de electricidad (y sí menciono esto mucho) es
extremadamente caro. Permítanme darles un ejemplo. La misa
dominical en la parroquia utiliza tanto de la escuela, de la iglesia y de
la capilla. La mayoría de los lugares la iglesia sólo se utiliza. Aquí
utilizamos los tres edificios. Una hora de luces, baños utilizados, agua
corriendo, el calor y el aire acondicionado nos gastamos $52,000 al
año en electricidad. Me encantaría tener esa cantidad y guardarla
para importantes proyectos aquí en la parroquia. Somos la parroquia
más grande de la zona y más activa. Lo que hacemos, y me refiero a
los que están leyendo esto, es increíble.
Usted puede haber notado los sobres han cambiado. Hemos hecho
esto para ayudar a reducir los costes de la parroquia. Tome un
momento y piense en el diezmo. (Hay un folleto que puede ayudarle
a tomar esta decisión en sus mailings.) Esto sería una gran ayuda
para la parroquia. Por favor tome esto en cuenta cuando realice su
donación del ofertorio.
Con el nuevo año fiscal, hemos realizado algunos cambios
administrativos en la rectoría. Mi trabajo como su pastor, como he
dicho antes, es proteger a la parroquia espiritualmente y
financieramente. Yo trabajo con mi personal para tomar las mejores
decisiones para el futuro. Los buenos viejos días se han ido y quiero
recordarles que los edificios son para ser desocupada antes de las
10:00 p.m. para todos los ministerios. Su agenda debe estar en la
rectoría antes de septiembre. He pedido y recibido sólo una pequeña
cantidad. De nuevo, si usted no la han presentado luego no buscan
una clave a partir de la rectoría. Es un simple como este.
Quiero trabajar y hacer de esta parroquia más fuerte. Tenemos que
unirnos y ser la iglesia Saint Joseph. Os animo a todos a asistir a una
misa que no ha sido aquí en la parroquia. Los niños de la parroquia
programa CCD quiero ver a usted y su familia en las masas
obteniendo sus cartas firmadas. Los padres también deben asistir a
misa y establecer el ejemplo para sus hijos. Una familia fuerte hace
una fuerte parroquia.
Por último, pronto estaremos regresando a nuestros horarios
regulares como el verano llega hasta el final, espero que el nuevo
año que tenemos por delante y la gran labor que haremos juntos.
En Cristo +,
