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
may parts of our country, as a way of making people feel more welcomed and included.
Our Goal - $ 865,000.00
Pledged - $ 1,765,000.00
Received - $ 130,000.00
St. Athanasius Parish will get half of all money received.

DIACONO DANTE 917 – 602 - 3793
Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di luglio
IL DONO DELLO SPIRITO DI DIO
No, non ci hai lasciati orfani, soli e sperduti,
abbandonati alla complessità delle vicende umane.
No, non siamo in balia del potente o del maestro di
turno, privi della capacità di discernere e di valutare,
di decidere e di scegliere.
Tu ci hai fatto dono del tuo Spirito: è lui l'anima
segreta della nostra esistenza, il fuoco acceso nel
nostro petto, il coraggio che vince tante paure, la
forza che emerge dalle nostre debolezze e fragilità.
Ma perché il tuo dono divenga operante in noi,
perché la nostra povera vita sia trasfigurata dalla tua
presenza, tu ci chiedi di abbandonarci con fiducia
alla tua volontà, al tuo disegno.
Ci domandi di amarti, non a parole, ma con i fatti,
non nei momenti magici in cui tutto sembra
sorriderci, ma nell'oscurità della vita quotidiana ,
nella trama usuale dei giorni, nella fatica e nel
sacrificio, nell'attesa e nel dolore, nelle pene e nelle
gioie.
E ci prometti che il nostro amore, nelle sue modeste
dimensioni, sperimenterà il tuo amore smisurato e
quello del Padre.
“L’angolo della Sapienza”
PASSIONI E CASTITÀ
Quando non si è fatto alcuno sforzo per domare le
proprie passioni e non si conoscono le gioie della
castità, ci si consola dei propri vizi dichiarandoli
necessari e si rivestono col manto della scienza le
tendenze di un cuore corrotto.
PRIMO VENERDI’ DEL MESE riprende in
autunno con il Santissimo Sacramento esposto tutto
il giorno e benedizione dalla Santa Messa
ESTATE – TEMPO DI VACANZA – con l’arrivo

XVI DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Por que es tan dificil aceptar y obedecer la Palabra de Dios ? Los
nazarenos no confiaban en la Palabra de Dios, ni en las enseñanzas
ni milagros de Jesús. Esto es cierto tambien para nosotros : mientras
no esperemos recibir algo de Cristo Jesús , él no podra obrar entre
nosotros ni cambiar nuestra vida.
Pero , que sucede si esperamos algo de él? Recordemos un incidente desicivo ocurrido en la vida de San Francisco de Asís. Un día,
estaba orando en la Iglesia San Damian , cuyos muros estaban en
precarias condiciones . Cuando reflexionaba contemplando el crucifijo, escuchó que el Señor le decia tres veces : “ Francisco , reconstruye mi iglesia . Ya ves que se esta desmoronando”
Al terminar la oración , Francisco comenzó a juntar las piedras y se dispuso a reparar la Iglesia de
San Damian , por que estaba deseoso de escuchar y obedecer al Señor. Pero mas tarde se dio
cuenta de que habia interpretado literalmente el mensaje, , y entendió que el Señor se refería
realmente a la Iglesia espiritual, el Cuerpo Mistico de Cristo , que necesitaba renovación.
Francisco solía contar esta anécdota a sus frailes , haciendo resaltar la acción del Espíritu Santo y
demostrando que Dios puede actuar a través de cualquier persona dócil y humilde de Corazón.
San Francisco es un ejemplo de que los muchos creyentes que a través de los siglos se han esforzado para escuchar y obedecer la Palabra de Dios. Este relato tambien puede tener un
significado especial para nosotros. Aunque no hayamos avanzado mucho en entendimiento, el
Espiritu
Santo puede moldear un corazón docil y demostrar lo que Dios realmente quiere hacer.
Cuando Jesús vive en el centro mismo de nuestro ser y dejamos que nos enseñe , él lo hace.
Oremos para que no seamos rebeldes y tercos con el Señor , sino que estemos dispuestos a hacer
su voluntad.
