TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Au g u s t 14, 2016
DEAR PARISHIONERS and VISITORS:
Prayer to Maximilian Kolbe
Feast day, August 14
Dear Visitors & Parishioners,
On Monday August 15 the Church celebrates the Solemnity
of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin M ary. Since the fifth
century the Church has held im plicitly the belief in the Assum ption
of the Blessed Mother, body and soul, into heaven. It can be
deduced from the liturgy, from devotional docum ents and the
writings of the Church Fathers and Doctors of the Church. The
dogm a of the Assum ption of Mary was proclaim ed by Pope Pius
XII on Novem ber 1, 1950.
Monsignor Ronald Knox, renowned English writer, wrote this
very interesting analogy in his hom ily about the Assum ption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary: “just as a traveler, gazing out to contemplate
a vast panorama, seeks some human figure in his surroundings
to bring the distant objects into perspective, so do we look
towards God with amazement, but can identify and welcome a
purely human figure at the side of God’s throne. A ship has
finished its passage, a destiny has been fulfilled, a human
perfection has existed. Through Mary, His masterpiece, we see
God’s relations with humanity more clearly and with greater insight.”
The Assum ption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, body and soul
into heaven, teaches us about the dignity of the hum an body and
God’s plan for our destiny. W hat a wonderful day to thank God
for His goodness and to ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray with
us and for us on our journey to eternal life.
.
The Lord Jesus Christ said, “Greater love than this
no m an has than that he lay down his life for his
friends.” Through your intercession,
Saint Maxim ilian, whose life illustrated such love,
we ask for a deep and sincere love
for all our fellow hum ans.
Through your Knights of the Im m aculate,
you spread a fervent devotion to our lady.
You gave up your life for a total stranger and loved
your persecutors, giving us an exam ple of unselfish
love of all - a love which was inspired
by true devotion to Mary.
Obtain for us from the Lord Jesus Christ that we
m ay give ourselves entirely without reserve to the
love and service of our heavenly Queen
in order to better love and serve our fellows.
Fr. Galvon

W hat's w rong w ith Assisted Suicide
Many citizens legitim ately ask, “W hat’s wrong with assisted
suicide?” If this is purely a private m atter, then the only
people who can be harm ed are those who request it.
Assisted suicide is not purely a private m atter. It affects
huge vulnerable populations who will experience new
pressures and financial incentives to die. Fr. Spitzer will
discuss why assisted-suicide is a fundam ental justice issue
– giving freedom s to one group that im pose onerous
burdens to die on other groups – the vulnerable, disabled,
and the econom ically and socially m arginalized. Friday,
Sept. 2, from 7-9 pm at the John Paul II Pastoral Centre.
To register, visit www.rcav.org/assisted-suicide
Thanks, Linda, for proclaim ing
scripture with steadfast dedication
and abiding peace
Year of M ercy Reflection
“Even if the grave sins of m en provoke God’s justice and
m erit his just punishm ents, we m ust not forget that he is
‘the Father of m ercies and God of all com fort,’ that he has
appointed Mary m ost holy as the generous steward of his
m erciful gifts.” - Blessed Paul VI

Vine a traer fuego
Todo lo que Dios creo es bueno, así lo confirma y repite el
libro de Génesis después de cada creación. Si reconocemos
las propiedades del fuego nos daremos cuenta de su
maravillosa utilidad. El fuego purifica, da calor y fomenta la
vida. El fuego también es destructor de todo aquello que no
se puede someter a su acción reformadora. En la fragua los
metales se extraen de la roca y se refinan por medio de altas
temperaturas, propiedad del fuego. Así, nuestros actos, por
medio del sacrificio se purifican para ser gratos a los ojos de
Dios.
Cuando leemos unos versículos más sobre la aclamación
del Evangelio, la Palabra de Dios nos dice ``Lo que el Padre
me ha dado es más fuerte que todo, y nadie puede sacarlo
de la mano de mi Padre ´´. ¡ Que esperanzador ! Es bueno
repetir con gran convicción y con frecuencia en este Año de
la Misericordia; ¡ Jesús yo confío en Tí !
La Asunción de la Santísima Virgen
``Glorifica mi alma al Señor ´´. Estas palabras de María son
un canto de alabanza, compuesto con frases del Antiguo
Testamento, pero que en boca de María adquieren un nuevo
sentido. Es la primitiva comunidad que, a la Luz de la
Pascua, se expresa a travez de María, poniendo en sus
labios un canto de liberación mesiánica que invierte el viejo
orden social y religioso.
Quién es San John Vianney ?
Es un sacerdote francés quien, humanamente hablando, no
contaba con los atributos necesarios para ser ordenado
sacerdote. Sin embargo su corazón estaba bien puesto en el
Señor, y, quienes ponen su confianza en Él no quedarán
defraudados. La Providencia fue poniendo en su camino a
quienes le ayudarían a llegar a su vocación suprema. Una
vez ordenado fue relegado a un pueblo llamado Ars, lugar
pequeño y desconocido que se transformaría gracias a la
humildad, sabiduría y sacrificio del santo Cura de Ars. Hoy en
día San John Vianney es Patrón Universal de los Sacerdotes.
Su cuerpo se conserva incorrupto, su memorial se celebra el
4 de Agosto. Pidamos de su intercesión ante el Señor por las
necesidades espirituales de quienes sirven al rebaño de
Jesús; Los Sacerdotes.
