Why attend a Parish Mission?
This is a special time in a parish where we focus on the status of our relationship with God, on the quality of family
and individual lives and on our service to the parish and community. It is a time to celebrate Jesus’ never-failing
mercy and love in our lives. It’s a time to answer once again, important questions such as: How is God working in
my life? How can I experience greater joy and peace? It’s a time to grow stronger in our faith in God and in our
love for each other!
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
Each evening we will begin with a dinner in the Social Hall at 6 PM. Childcare is available following dinner for
children under the age of 7. Both dinner and childcare are free of charge, but REGISTRATION IS
REQUIRED. At 7:00 PM we will move into the Cathedral to hear Fr. Andy talk about accepting the gift of
God’s Mercy and God’s personal love for each person. He will delve into removing the barriers to accepting
God’s love and God’s never-ending forgiveness.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
On day 2 following dinner, Fr. Andy will speak about sharing the Gift of God’s Mercy and the freeing
power of forgiveness. The importance of letting go of life’s hurts and the challenge of reconciliation and
how we are empowered to forgive by God!
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14
After dinner in the Social Hall, Father Andy will how we can live the gift of God’s mercy. How you can be a
living sign of His mercy and the compassionate body of Christ. Compassion can be gratitude for God’s mercy
and it is our mission to make the Kingdom of God alive!

“Everything I have is yours.”
Luke 15:31
Our Heavenly Father gives us everything, including
the chance to share in His eternal kingdom. Yet, like
the Prodigal Son, we are often lured away by the
materialism of our society. Do we really want to turn
our backs on all that God offers in exchange for a
material wealth that has no lasting value?

CARMELITE CORNER
On August 9, we celebrated the feast
day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the
Cross, Edith Stein, a Carmelite nun of
Jewish origin who was martyred at
Auschwitz. Her writings are a school
of prayer for all Christians and
especially for the Carmelite who desires to offer
constant prayer to God whether in solitude or in
active life. Here are Edith Stein’s words on prayer:
“Prayer is the communication of the soul with God.
God is love, and love is goodness giving itself away.
[God’s Love] is a fullness of being that does not want
to remain enclosed in itself, but rather to share itself
with others, to give itself to them, and to make them
happy. Prayer is the highest achievement of which
the human spirit is capable.” Prayer is at the heart of
Carmelite spirituality. For more information on the
Lay Carmelite Community at St. James or on the
Carmelite Order to which we belong, please contact
Kathleen at 407-421-7769, [email protected] or see
laycarmelitespcm.org.

Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Ora conmigo. Enséñame, Dios, sus leyes. Ayúdame a
formar mi conciencia por el ayuno y la oración, pidiendo
a Usted, nuestro amoroso y misericordioso Dios, que me
dará la posibilidad de anunciar eficazmente el Evangelio
de Jesucristo a través de mi testimonio diario de nuestra
fe y de sus enseñanzas.
Francisco dijo en la Evangelii Gaudium, "una auténtica
fe. . . siempre implica un profundo deseo de cambiar el
mundo, para transmitir valores, para dejar esta tierra de
alguna manera mejor de como lo encontramos. Nos
encanta este magnífico planeta en el que Dios nos ha
puesto, y nos encanta la familia humana, que vive aquí,
con todas sus tragedias y luchas, que esperanzas y
aspiraciones, sus fortalezas y debilidades. La tierra es
nuestro hogar común y todos somos hermanos y
hermanas ".
Como las elecciones locales y nacionales próximo, que
están llamados a traer nuestra fe y servir al bien común
con la alegría y la esperanza, la confianza de que Dios,
que Dios desea que nos ayudará a construir un
Jesús nos obliga a "ir por todo el mundo y proclamad la
Buena Nueva a toda la creación" (Mc 16,15). "Aquí,"
Francisco dice, " 'la creación' se refiere a todos los
aspectos de la vida humana; en consecuencia, "la misión
de anunciar las buenas nuevas de Jesucristo tiene un
destino universal. Su mandato de la caridad abarca todas
las dimensiones de la existencia, todas las personas, todas
las áreas de la vida comunitaria, y todos los pueblos.
Nada de lo humano puede ser ajeno a ella. ' "
mandato de Jesús incluye nuestra participación en la vida
política. He aprendido que la responsabilidad de tomar
decisiones en la vida política recae en cada individuo en
función de su conciencia, rectamente formada, y que la
participación va más allá de la emisión del voto en una
elección en particular.
Las realidades políticas de nuestra nación nosotros, un
pueblo de fe presentan, con oportunidades y desafíos. El
derecho a la vida en sí misma no está totalmente
protegido, especialmente para los niños aún no nacidos,
los enfermos terminales, y los ancianos, los miembros
más vulnerables de la familia americana. A menudo nos
encontramos divididos a través de líneas de raza, etnia, y
la desigualdad económica. Somos una nación de
inmigrantes, luchando para hacer frente a los retos de
muchos de los nuevos inmigrantes en nuestro medio.
Somos una sociedad basada en la fuerza de nuestras
familias, fue llamado a defender el matrimonio y ofrecer
apoyos morales y económicos de la vida familiar. Somos
una nación poderosa en un mundo violento, frente al
terrorismo y tratando de construir un mundo más justo,
más pacífico más seguro. Estamos llamados a atender a
las personas sin alimento y refugio.
Nuestra fe nos enseña acerca de la dignidad de la persona
humana, sobre lo sagrado de toda vida humana, porque
somos de Dios. Este es el núcleo de la enseñanza moral y
social católica. Debido a que somos personas de fe y la
razón, es apropiado y necesario para nosotros para llevar
esta verdad esencial sobre la vida humana y la dignidad
de la plaza pública. Estamos llamados a practicar el mandamiento de Cristo de "Amaos los unos a los otros" (Jn
13,34). También estamos llamados a promover el bienestar de todos, para compartir nuestras bendiciones con los
más necesitados, de defender el matrimonio, y para proteger las vidas y la dignidad de todos, especialmente de
los más débiles, los vulnerables, los sin voz.
Algunos se preguntan si es apropiado para la Iglesia jugar
un papel en la vida política. La obligación de enseñar las
verdades morales que deben dar forma a nuestras vidas
es fundamental para la misión dada a la Iglesia por Jesucristo. Si somos un pueblo de fe, ¿cómo no llevar el centro de nuestro ser en todos los aspectos de nuestra vida,
incluyendo la vida pública? la tradición de nuestra nación
del pluralismo se ve reforzada, no amenazaba, cuando los
grupos religiosos y personas de fe llevar a sus convicciones y preocupaciones en la vida pública. De hecho, las
enseñanzas de nuestra Iglesia está de acuerdo con los
valores fundamentales que han dado forma a la historia
de nuestro país: "la vida, la libertad y la búsqueda de la
felicidad."
Vamos todos tomamos muy en serio la urgencia de nuestra vocación de vivir en el servicio a los demás a través
de la gracia de Cristo y pedir humildemente en oración
por una efusión de la gracia del Espíritu Santo en los Estados Unidos de América.
Mis hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, rezan conmigo. Enséñame, Dios, sus leyes. Ayúdame a formar mi conciencia por el ayuno y la oración, pidiendo a Usted, nuestro
amoroso y misericordioso Dios, que me dará la posibilidad de anunciar eficazmente el Evangelio de Jesucristo a
través de mi testimonio diario de nuestra fe y de sus enseñanzas.
