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.

Riflessione del mese di giugno
LA PETTEGOLA E LA GALLINA
A una donna che si accusava di frequenti maldicenze,
San Filippo Neri domandò: "Vi capita proprio spesso di
sparlare così del prossimo?".
Molto spesso, Padre", rispose la donna.
"Figliola, il vostro errore è grande. E' necessario che ne
facciate penitenza. Ecco cosa farete: uccidete una gallina
e portatemela subito, spennandola lungo la strada da
casa vostra fin qui".
La donna ubbidì, e si presentò al santo con la gallina
spiumata.
"Ora", le disse Filippo, "ritornate per le strade attraversate
e raccogliete ad una ad una le penne della gallina...".
"Ma è impossibile, Padre", ribattè la donna; "col vento
che tira oggi non si troveranno più".
"Lo so anch'io", concluse il santo, "ma ho voluto farvi
comprendere che se non potete raccogliere le penne di
una gallina sparpagliate dal vento, come potrete riparare
a tutte le maldicenze gettate in mezzo alla gente, a danno
del vostro prossimo?".
“L’angolo della Sapienza”
L'invidia
L'invidia è il metro delle nostre insicurezze, del nostro
fallimento, del nostro rammarico.
Quando si spezzano le catene, forgiati da questo peccato
capitale, si scopre la gioia di condividere il bene del
prossimo e di non perdersi nel proprio assurdo egoismo.

il Santissimo Sacramento esposto tutto il giorno e

XIII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
En el Evangelio de hoy , Jairo y la enferma de hemorragias decidieron confiar en Cristo y dar un
audaz paso de fe para buscar la curación. Creyeron en lo que aun no habían visto y por eso
recibieron el premio que buscaban : Jairo vio con gozo ineffable que su hija volvía a la vida, y la mujer
sanó instantaneamente . Que bendición !!!
Estos son ejemplos patentes del tipo de fe que el Señor quiere ver en sus hijos. Probablemente todos hemos estado en situaciones en las que no nos hemos atrevido a actuar por timidez o por no
querer asumir riesgos. Tal vez no hemos estado dispuestos a exponer nuestra propia integridad ,
nos inquieta el qué dirán o no queremos exponernos al fracaso .
Por ejemplo, se nos ha ocurrido visitar a un vecino enfermo y ofrecerle orar por el para que sane?
Lo haría usted si supiera que Jesús lo está invitando a hacerlo ? Muchas personas dicen que el Señor les ha puesto inspiraciones como éstas en el Corazón! Y sucede a veces que , cuando uno
actúa con fe y se arriesga , descubre que los demas reciben esta demostración de amor y solidaridad con mucho agrado, aunque tal vez con un poco de nerviosismo.
Pero lo bueno es que posiblemente descubramos que el Señor ha tocado un enfermo o un necesitado coo fruto de nuestra oración y del testimonio de la confianza en Jesús que hemos demostrado.
Dile hoy al Señor que esperas con gran atención las inspiraciones que él quiera darte;dile que
quieres superar cualquier temor y duda , y hacer lo que él te diga. Pídele la gracia de actuar por fe,
siguiendo su guía y decídete a tocar a la puerta del Señor y ésta se abrirá, la puerta que conduce a
una fe más profunda ; la puerta que lleva a una mejor comunión con Jesus y las multiples
bendiciones para todos los demas.
