Please continue to make your payments For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion Aware that there are often those who come to Mass who are not Catholic, or for some reason cannot partake in Communion, we would like to invite those people in our assemblies to still come forward in the Communion procession and, as they approach the Priest or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, to simply cross their arms over their chest, so that they might receive a simple blessing. This is a practice that is utilized in many parts of our country, as a way of making people feel more welcomed and included.

GRUPPO ITALIANO SAN ATANASIO PRESENTA Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA Riflessione del mese di febbraio MERCOLEDI DELLE CENERI Date un pensiero al rito dell'imposizione delle Ceneri. Meriterebbe una prefazione storica, che lo fa risalire all'antico Testamento (Cfr. ad es. Ier. 25, 34; Iud. 9, 1; Dan. 9, 3, etc.), e lo travasa nel nuovo (Cfr. Luc. 10, 13; Matth. 11, 21), e poi nella prassi dei primi secoli cristiani e nei seguenti. MERCOLEDI’ DELLE CENERI - questo mercoledi, 10 febbraio sono le ceneri. Ma guardatene il senso, il pessimismo cioè che grava sulla vita umana nel tempo; rileggete uno dei libri, sapienziali, e in certo senso, quasi sconcertante, della Bibbia, l'Ecclesiaste (ora indicato col termine ebraico Qohèlet), che comincia con le famose parole, adatte per un cimitero dell'umanità senza speranza: «vanità della vanità, tutto è vanità» (Eccl. 1, 1); TRIDUO PASQUALE - LUNEDI, 14 Marzo, MARTEDI’ 15 marzo, MERCOLEDI’ 16 marzo, organizzato da G.I.S.A. Gruppo Italiano San Atanasio - Confessioni alle 7:30. Messa alle 8pm. Confessioni anche dopo la Messa. Questo triduo sara condotto ogni sera dal Rev. Padre Al Barozzi. e ripensate al pauroso verismo di certa letteratura e di certa filosofia contemporanea; e vi convincerete della sincerità della Chiesa nella sua pedagogia spirituale; ella non può passare sotto silenzio l'esperienza della morte e del dissolvimento, a cui la nostra temporale esistenza è condannata. QUARESIMA – TEMPO DI PENITENZA E PREGHIERA. Vi ricordiamo che durante la quaresima e’ molto importate confessarsi. Cortesemente leggete il bollettino per l’orario delle confessioni nella nostra parrocchia. Ma con questa immediata rettifica ad una concezione disperata del nostro vero destino: la vita, in Cristo, sarà vittoriosa. E cioè bisogna ricordare e scoprire l'aspetto positivo della quaresima, cioè della penitenza cristiana. Essa non è voluta e promossa per offendere e per rattristare l'uomo, insaziabilmente avido di vita, di pienezza, di felicità, ma per ammaestrarlo e per condurlo, mediante l'arduo cimento della penitenza, alla conquista, o meglio alla riconquista del «paradiso perduto». Periodo perciò di riflessione si apre davanti a noi. È la concezione, in fondo, della nostra vita che passa all'analisi della coscienza cristiana; è l'autocritica fondamentale, è la filosofia che sfocia nella sapienza, è lo sforzo di salvataggio, dall'inevitabile naufragio travolgente, che accetta la mano salvatrice di Cristo, che ci è offerta in questa palestra spirituale. Procuriamo di comprendere, cerchiamo di profittarne. Vi ricordiamo cortesemente di pregare per tutti i malati della nostra parrochia – grazie. VIA CRUCIS - A partire da venerdi’, 12 febbraio si inizia la via crucis. Come ogni anno, ogni venerdi’ sera ci riuniremo tutti nella chiesa superiore per la Via della Croce che terminera’ venerdi’ Santo con l’annuale processione. Unitevi a noi numerosi ogni venerdi’.

Page 11 St. Athanasius Church TOMADO DE LA PALABRA ENTRE NOSOTROS: En el Evangelio de hoy vemos que, ante la orden de Jesús , Simón Pedro echó las redes al mar y sacó una increíble cantidad de peces . Simón se quedó atónito, por que hasta entonces no había pasado nada . Viendo tan petente milagro , se dio cuenta de que estaba delante del Señor y cayó de rodillas arrepentido. Pero Jesús le dijo: “ No temas ; desde ahora serás pescador de hombres. El profeta Isaías tuvo la misma reacción cuando tuvo una visión del Señor y se sintió lleno de miedo: “ay de mi , estoy perdido , por que soy un hombre de labios impuros….por que he visto con mis ojos al Rey y Señor de los ejercitos. Pero un ángel le tocó los labios con una brasa del altar y lo purificó de toda culpa. Luego, el profeta escuchó que el Señor decía : A quien enviaré ? Quien irá de parte mía? Sin dudarlo un instante, Isaías exclamó; Aquí estoy , Señor , envíame. Dios está deseoso de enviar a cada uno de nosotros como envió al profeta Isaías y al apóstol Pedro. Si estamos dispuestos a recibir el amor el Señor, también escucharemos su llamada al discipulado; nos reconoceremos indignos de semejante honor, pero también sabremos que, si somos fieles, podemos recibir el poder del Espíritu Santo para interceder , perdonar y anunciar el Evangelio. A medida que crezcamos en unión con Cristo, también creceremos en amor a Dios y estaremos dispuestos , como Isaías y Pedro, a dejarlo a todo para seguir al Señor. No tengamos miedo de ser humildes delante de Dios ni de recibir la misión que él quiera darnos. No se trata de salir a la calle a predicar , sino de aprovechar las oportunidades que tengamos, en las conversaciones normales, de dar a entender o decir abiertamente que creemos en Cirsto y que él no ha cambiado la vida. No hay honor mas grande que ser siervo del Señor , enviados a pescar almas para su reino. February 7, 2016 Llegamos al umbral de la Cuaresma , época donde nos preparamos espiritualmente hacia el encuentro con Jesucristo , su pasión , muerte y Resurección. Este tiempo es propicio para recuperar la gracia santificadora a traves de las obras y de la fe , pero esas obras no sirven de nada sino se hacen con un corazón sincero y lleno de arrepentimiento. Al experimentar la nueva vida debemos empezar por tomar la desición de renunciar a los malos hábitos y lo que nos ata al mundo. Jesús Señaló en algun momento que las obras deben hacerse con el fin de demostrar el amor y la verdad. . La practica del ayuno y la limosna son dos de las obras que siempre la Iglesia recomienda por que nos ayudan a centrar la atención en el sacrificio redentor de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor , y recibir la gracia de Dios. Aparte de esto, nos conviene dedicar mas tiempo y atención a la oración personal , la lectura de las Sagradas Escrituras , en especial a los relatos de la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Nuestro Señor. Y finalmente reconociendo nuestras culpas nos adentraremos en esta epoca de penitencia , donde tendremos la oportunidad de centrarnos en reflexionar acerca de nuestra vida y la respuesta que estamos dando al llamado de Jesucristo a la conversión en este año de la Misericordia. Preparemonos pues para que este miercoles comenzemos con la mejor actitud esta temporada de cuaresma con el corazon abierto y dispuesto a reencontrarnos con Jesús durante los 40 de desierto para llegar así a la gloria de la resurección.
