Our prayers can be a very effective channel for the healing power of Christ. Some people have a crisis or illness. Others are chronically ill. Both types of situations need the care and concern of the entire Body of Christ. At the request of concerned family members, names of the critically ill will be placed on our prayer list and will remain on the sick list for four (4) weeks. After that time they will be removed from the list. If a member of the family or the sick person himself or herself wishes to remain on the list, they have only to call or e-mail us and we will be happy to oblige.

Reflection- In today’s second reading, St. Paul provides a wonderful one-sentence summary of Christian stewardship: “Out of love, place yourselves at one another’s service.” General Intercession for Mass– That as steward disciples, we recognize we are all one family and welcome the chance to make a difference in the lives of others, we pray to the Lord. Living Stewardship- We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who choose small acts of giving, be it driving an elderly neighbor to the doctor, helping out at the church’s festival or giving a hug to someone, just because!

Adoration Chapel Will be closed on Thursday, June 30th, for Independence Day will reopen on Tuesday, July 5th at 10:00 am THE PARISH OFFICE Will be closed on Monday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day Fr. Daniel’s Letter Dear Brothers and Sisters! The whirling, pullulating, seemingly indomitable chaos of our society, and its howling absurdities, its overflowing self-destructive violence, together with all the other “thousand1 natural2 shocks that flesh is heir to”3, perhaps partly due to my melancholic temperament4, “[grate] so harshly all [my] days of quiet / with turbulent and dangerous lunacy,”5 so, at least for a little while, rather than talk about all the things that need some talking about, let’s leave Elsinore and turn to happier, if not quite Elysian, fields.6 ༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻ School is out! No matter how grown-up we become, hopefully we never lose that particular sense of delight at the announcement of the school year’s end. Even for ultra-nerdy kids like me, who loved school (most of the time), those golden words – school’s out – etched with an evocative, powerful promise, heralded untold freedom and frivolity. It makes us young again to think of it – and it actually rejuvenates teachers and administrators.7 I will certainly enjoy the break, but were it to go on too long – were we not to have a school here8 – a vital element of our life’s rhythm and melody would be gone, a spectacular color missing from our palette. ASR is a source of great joy, but, for now: Happy summer! ༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻ Five years ago today (as I write this, which was also a Wednesday that year), the Canons assumed the pastoral and practical care (jointly and severally) of St Patrick and St Rocco, a very happy day for us indeed. And hopefully for some others. Looking back, we are filled with gratitude to God for this amazing adventure, to the Provost, for his vision, to Bishop Murphy, for his trust and fatherly solicitude, and to all the many people who have become our family, for the support, the opportunities, the forbearance, the prayers and the welcome. Like most people, I imagine, we forget sometimes to stop and think about the blessings in our life – the challenging bits love to claim our attention – but when we Canons do, either in prayer or in conversation with each other, we marvel at the luxuriance of blessings, the bounty of challenges (a meal without spice is dull), the cornucopia of possibilities and the plenitude of experiences served up to us here as our daily fare. Three times a day, as we gather in the Church for our celebration of the five “hours” of the Divine Office – the chanting of which (in German, usually, as a connection to the Abbey; in Latin, at time, since it’s the language of our Roman Rite; and sometimes even in English!) stands as one of the pillars of the canonical life – please know that we bring you and all your cares and needs with us into that prayer. ༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻ In my parish of St Leopold in Donaufeld, Vienna, where I was pastor for four years, I had, as priests do everywhere, many happy and many challenging days. But the happiest by far, I believe, occurred on the day that I, with the assistance of Father Josef (who was then my vicar, is now the pastor, and hopefully will visit us one day soon), “righted” the chapel in which we had our daily Mass. This cozy chapel served well for daily Mass – the church was gargantuan (3rd largest in Vienna; built to be a cathedral – another story) and, like most in Austria, without heating (!!!) – so you can understand why. ______________________________________ 1 if it were only a thousand! 2 and unnatural!! 3 Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1 4 We’re all big fans of the classical temperament as a tool (not a freedom-depriving sentence) for self-understanding. It can’t be a surprise that I’m melancholic. But the four of us canons are almost textbook examples of the basic types. Who do you think is the sanguine, the choleric and the phlegmatic? 5 Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1 6 Asphodel, if you like, but bypassing the Styx (not the rock group, please!) because we’ll someday need to talk about all these things. 7 Would it be considered macabre to imagine that we might even learn to see the end of our life on earth with a bit of the same promise? I should hope not. 8 A hypothetical contrary to fact. Please, no rumors! The ASR is not closing!! But, as may happen in the course of time, the arrangement of the furnishings in the chapel took on an odd cast. Nothing was where it should have been. There was a door partway behind the altar, which was not on the long axis of the room; the tabernacle was unbalanced. No processions were possible. Eucharistic Adoration was impeded by the angle of sight. Everything was arranged as if the room was not shaped the way it was, a willful denial of reality. (Architecture can lie so easily.) The 氣 (qi or ch’i) was all wrong! For anyone who appreciates the goal and principles (even if not the particular practice) of 風 水 (feng shui)9, you know how disordered and disturbing this can be. The day we put everything back where it was supposed to be – that is, where it reflected its proper use in the liturgy and in the particular space we were using (and this was relatively easy to do) – I had a great and peaceful feeling of sublime accomplishment: not that I had created or designed anything new, but that everything “was as it should be”. The people who attended daily Mass loved it; some who never came to daily Mass grumbled, like philotasters often do. But those who loved the chapel, loved it even more in the form proper to its purpose. Such a great sense of accomplishment – to set something right. An analogy might be found in our recently restored bells. For a while, the last note of the melody was not ringing – the silence where a note should be in the melody, the absence of the expected, a gaping hole in the pattern – this all leaves one (if not, or even if, desensitized) uneasy and unnerved. It’s like singing a scale – do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti … and never finishing it off with – wait for it – do.10 Anyway, today, the fifth anniversary of our arrival here, we have had a similar moment at St Rocco. We’ve been doing some repair work to the marble pavement of the sanctuary there, and, thanks to a very generous but anonymous benefactor, we have been able to include in this work a “perfecting” of the altar area. The front edge of the altar there – unlike ours here – was placed right up against the edge of the platform on which the altar stood, at the very edge, so to speak, of a “cliff.” This meant that one could only approach the altar from behind and that one was prevented from properly circling the altar during its incensations (since the platform was on two different levels), and, most egregiously, from being able to stand before the altar and celebrate, if one wished, “ad orientem” or facing (liturgically) east. This was not the intention of the Second Vatican Council!! The Council called for the altar to be free-standing so that 1) its centrality (as the principle symbol of Christ in the church) would be clear and so that 2) one could circumnavigate, the altar for incensations, and 3) so that one might be free to (but need not) celebrate “facing the people.” The extending and completing on all sides of the platform – beautifully accomplished – and the slight movement of the altar (which had to happen anyway, given the need to repair the marble) to balance the proportions of the sanctuary (which is hardly noticeable – and that’s the genius of it!) presents us now with a perfect Vatican II altar at St Rocco (as we already have here), capable of all of the ritual movements the Church offers and envisions. What a joy to see something become completely what it was called into existence to be! There was, however, one little problem, which, as many problems often do if we view them with confidence and faith, became an opportunity for something lovely. There was no relic anywhere to be found inside the altar! While this isn’t a crisis, it is a sadness. Since the earliest days of the Church, we have celebrated the Eucharist in close proximity to the remains of martyrs – at first, in the Catacombs, and, later, over altars in which the relics of a martyr (or many) had been placed. For reasons escaping understanding, there was no relic in St Rocco’s altar. Fortunately, we have a number of relics here at St Patrick. On behalf of the parish, and our common (at times complicated) history with St Rocco (but that’s much better now, thank God!), and as a sign of the communion of saints, I donated a relic we had of St Pancratius – an early Roman martyr who refused to sacrifice to the gods (he was 14!) – which we placed in the altar today. Stop by, when you get a chance, to see the beautifully restored – fulfilled, I would say – altar and sanctuary, remember that a little bit of our parish, through our gift of the relic, is in the heart of the Church of Saint Rocco, and say a prayer for the generous benefactor who helped us allow something to be fully what it was meant to be. In all the chaos and disorder of the world, living in the heart of Christ, may we always become who we are called to be! God bless! Fr Daniel ____________________________ 9 Which is more than just about arranging furniture! Father Ambros, entranced by the concept and the successful execution of feng shui in the skyline of Hong Kong, would very much like to be a practitioner of the art, but would prefer the more amusing title of geomancer. His rates are quite reasonable. Ask for the parish discount. 10 I couldn’t have slept had I not completed the scale. The origin of those syllables – do, re, mi, etc. – have nothing to do with frolicking Austrian ex-nuns, but rather with the hymn for the (upcoming or just past, depending on whether one is writing or reading this) Feast (June 24) of St John the Baptist, Ut Queant Laxis, which, much as I would love to discuss it now, will have to wait. ~ The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul ~ Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul. Our Conference meets on the first Tuesday of the month. Join us at our next meeting on Tuesday, July 5 at St. Rocco’s Parish Center, starting at 7:30 PM We also connect on a spiritual level at every monthly meeting and each visit. June 26 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s Gospel we see how Jesus, on his way to Jerusalem, sent a “messenger on ahead of Him.” To be the messengers of God, we must know well what it is God wants to say and do through us, as he sends us out to bring his love to others. In the month of June, you were the “messenger of God” in bringing hope to the poor. Your gifts enabled the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to assist families – by providing food, furniture, and money needed for utility and rent bills. Your financial support as a benefactor/donor will help families who have fallen on hard times. “Poor Box” donations and/or Checks payable to: Glen Cove Conference of St. Vincent de Paul PLEASE VOLUNTEER - you can help us respond to requests from our neediest neighbors and help coordinate Parish events.

I think we were all a little intimidated with each other. I will miss the lunches I spent with the kindergarteners and the silly things they said and thought. I will always remember the relationships and the journey that the Kindergarteners and I have shared. I think by having an eighth grader down in the cafeteria has really helped the Kindergarteners to be more mature because they have someone to look up to. This is one of my favorite things I will miss about ASR. ~ Samantha Horton Class of 2016 St. Patrick’s Summer Production – Godspell Update Auditions are complete and callbacks will be this weekend with rehearsals starting in early July We’re about six weeks away from production and we need assistance in the following areas: Fundraising – soliciting sponsorships, donations, and program ads Advertising – promoting the show Ticket Sales Concessions Stage Crew – need people between the ages of 15 and 25 to help with lighting, sound, props and set building Pit Band – need people who can play one of the following and read music: Bass Guitar Guitar Drums Please contact us at [email protected] or call the Parish Office (676-0276) and leave your contact information for us to call you.

Carta de uno de nuestros Graduados Mi recuerdo más bonito de All Saints es la primera Misa con los niños de Jardín de la Infancia. Me parece que estábamos un poco tímidos los unos con los otros. Extrañaré los almuerzos que compartíamos junto con ellos y el escuchar sus conversaciones típicas de dicha edad. Recordaré siempre de la amistad y los viajes compartidos. Pienso que el haber tenido a un alumno del octavo grado en la cafeteria ha ayudado bastante a los niños más pequeños porque hemos sido un ejemplo para ellos. Este es uno de los recuerdos que nunca olvidaré de All Saints. ~ Samantha Horton Clase del 2016 Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Legion of Mary Saturday, July 9th Will meet at 10:30 am. in the Parish Hall.

Enviado por Dios, Elías escoge a Eliseo para que tome su lugar. Elías tira su capa, símbolo de su vocación profética, en los hombros de Eliseo. Sin preguntar, Eliseo inmediatamente dice adiós a su familia y abandona su buey y su arado. Deja todo y responde al llamado de Dios. Gálatas 5:1, 13-18 Cuando Eliseo dejó todo para hacer la voluntad de Dios, debió sentirse verdaderamente libre. En la segunda lectura, Pablo recuerda a los gálatas que los cristianos han sido llamados a vivir en libertad. Los que han aceptado a Cristo siguen su ejemplo de amar. Los que escuchan a la "carne", cuando los invita a actuar en contra de la voluntad de Dios, son esclavos. Actúan en contra de su propio interés cuando escuchan la voz del egoísmo. Lucas 9:51-62 Jesús va camino a Jerusalén. Se está preparando para enfrentar el sufrimiento y la muerte. Perdona a la samaritana que se niega a ayudarle, mostrando así a sus discípulos como tienen que actuar con sus enemigos. Entonces responde a tres personas que quieren seguirle. Les dice Jesús, "Vengan conmi- La afirmación “dejad que los muertos entierren a sus muertos” no contradice, en forma alguna, una de las obras de misericordia practicada con diligencia a través de la historia, la de enterrar a los muertos. Se trata, más bien, de una invitación a dejar el mundo, superar los valores de la carne, dejar a un lado las preocupaciones materiales para seguir en plenitud la llamada del Señor, sin dejar, por supuesto, de atender las obligaciones propias de la familia. Cristo enamora, fascina, mueve corazones y nos proporciona “vida abundante” si le seguimos con fidelidad. Volver la vista atrás supone servir a dos señores, fraccionar las exigencias del compromiso de fe. Las medias tintas no gustan a nuestro Dios. Construir el Reino de Dios es una tarea que no admite demoras. Llegó la hora del compromiso. San Pedro y san Pablo. Fiesta: 29 de Junio Qué nos enseña la vida de San Pedro y de San Pablo hoy? San Pablo y San Pedro son apóstoles, testigos de Jesús que dieron un gran testimonio. Dieron su vida por Jesús y gracias a ellos el cristianismo se extendió por todo el mundo. Esta fiesta doble de San Pedro y San Pablo conmemoramos el 29 de Junio cada año. El Lavarse las m a n o s ahora o después. Contestar en eguida este mensaje o dejarlo para mañana. Cambiar hoy o mañana las sábanas: son decisiones sencillas que no implican, normalmente, grandes dificultades. Dejar la ciudad en la que uno vive para ir a otra a buscar un nuevo trabajo. Terminar la relación con una persona que parecía buena pero que estaba asfixiando la propia existencia. Vender este terreno para pagar una deuda que nos agobia: son decisiones difíciles, que tienen consecuencias enormes. En los momentos de decisiones difíciles damos vueltas y vueltas a las posibilidades que tenemos ante los ojos. ¿Esta ciudad u otra? ¿Dejar este trabajo y lanzarse a otro? ¿Abandonar este piso y buscar un alquiler en un barrio no bien conocido? El corazón desea mejoras importantes. No vale la pena arriesgar algo “seguro”, con sus muchos límites, para lanzarse a algo que podría empeorar las cosas. Porque un cambio vale la pena sólo cuando sentido de tener una fiesta es recordar lo que estos dos grandes santos hicieron, aprender de su ejemplo y pedirles en este día especialmente su intercesión por nosotros. La vida de Pedro nos enseña que, a pesar de la debilidad humana, Dios nos ama y nos llama a la santidad. A pesar de todos los defectos que tenía, Pedro logró cumplir con su misión. Nos enseña que el Espíritu Santo puede obrar maravillas en un hombre común y corriente. Lo puede hacer capaz de superar los más grandes obstáculos. La vida de San Pablo nos enseña la importancia de la labor apostólica de los cristianos. Todos los cristianos debemos ser apóstoles, anunciar a Cristo comunicando su mensaje nos libra de males y dolores del presente y nos conduce a mejoras para uno mismo y para los seres queridos. Pero el corazón duda: hay tantos aspectos que considerar, hay tantos puntos dudosos en el horizonte, hay tantos riesgos que correr, hay tantas cosas buenas de la situación actual que no quisiéramos perder... El reloj tiene prisa, las hojas del calendario caen una tras otra. La vida ha llegado a un nuevo cruce de caminos. Puedo optar por mantener (cuando es posible) lo que ya conozco, con sus límites y sus seguridades, o puedo lanzarme hacia un nuevo rumbo desde una esperanza: habrá mejoras. En medio de las dudas, una voz humilde parece susurrar a mi corazón que Dios existe y que vale la pena todo lo que hagamos por amor y para amar. Ese es el criterio decisivo a la hora de tomar nuevas decisiones, pequeñas o grandes, sencillas o difíciles. Luego, el resultado podrá ser favorable o desfavorable, esperado o sorprendente. Pero siempre quedará en pie una certeza: Dios es bueno y ofrece su luz y su consuelo a quienes acuden a Él en medio de las mil encrucijadas y misterios de la existencia humana.. Por: P. Fernando Pascual, L.C. | Fuente: Catholic.net con la palabra y el ejemplo, cada uno en el lugar donde viva, y de diferentes maneras. Nos enseña el valor de la conversión. Nos enseña a hacer caso a Jesús dejando nuestra vida antigua de pecado para comenzar una vida dedicada a la santidad, a las buenas obras y al apostolado. Estos mismos pasos son los que Cristo utiliza en cada uno de nosotros. Nosotros podemos dar una respuesta personal a esta llamada. Así como lo hicieron Pablo y Pedro en su época y con las circunstancias de la vida, así cada uno de nosotros hoy puede dar una respuesta a la llamada de Jesús.
