A Prayer of Hope
Jesus, thank You for
desiring to dwell in me.
Thank You for having
made me to receive You,
to bear Your life into a
world that needs You
desperately. I wonder how
it could possibly be that
I am meant to bear that
kind of hope within me.
But You assure me that
all You need is my
simple yes and You will do
the rest. Amen.

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
"Who brought you out of the land of Egypt?” The reading from the Book of Exodus uses
this phrase three times, and each differently. First God reminds Moses he is the leader of the
people, and it’s his job to tell them about God’s wrath. Then God tells Moses what to say,
reminding the Israelites of what the God they are betraying did for them. Finally Moses
turns these words on God: “Don’t forget that you who saved them made a promise, and that
means you have an obligation not to destroy those to whom you made that promise.”
This story reminds us that it can be easy to let someone else do the dirty work, to shift
blame, to hold others to standards you yourself are not maintaining. It’s also easy to forget
promises, especially when you’re angry.
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters
.
in Jesus,
.
.
.
.
Today marks the 15th Anniversary
.
of the four coordinated terrorist
.
.
attacks by the Islamic terrorist
.
.
group al-Qaeda against our country
.
.
on the morning of September 11,
.
.
2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people and injured over 6,000 oth.
ers and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure
.
damage and $3 trillion in total costs. It was a day that all of us wish ..
.
had never happened.
.
.
.
I was just getting ready to cross the parking lot at Saint Aloysius to
.
.
offer a funeral mass in the church, when I received a call from a
.
.
friend urging me to hurry up and turn on the TV for a plane had
.
crashed into the one of the World Trade Center Towers. And so be- .
.
gan possibly the most horrific tragedy visited upon our country. All .
of us were changed. Our way of life was never to be quite the same. ..
.
.
As I reflect on the aftermath, I remember that one of the transform- .
.
ing experiences of those sad days was that everyone really had to
.
.
ask themselves what was important in life. Certainly the normal
.
.
things that we get so excited by were all cast aside by the magni.
tude of what had happened. The preciousness and also the precari- .
ous and vulnerable nature of the fundamental gift of life burned its ..
.
way into the depth of our souls.
.
.
.
Years later, the 9/11 Memorial opened in lower Manhattan and I
.
.
didn’t get there right away. I don’t know why. Strangely enough I
.
.
had been scheduled to visit the site with a group from Donovan
.
.
Catholic…it was the day after my brother, John died. I went any.
way. I saw where Eileen Fagan’s sister Patricia’s name was in.
scribed and said a prayer. Then, inside the museum, I was overcome ..
.
(and I wasn’t alone) by the immensity of it all – the people, the
.
.
building, the scale of everything… and a deep, deep sense of loss.
.
.
.
A lesson learned from the whole experience was the realization
.
that, although it is a constant struggle, we ought not to cling to too ..
much. In a moment, everything in our lives can be thrown up in
.
the air and without a clear sense of what can truly survive. The way ..
forward can be almost impossible. Yet, with God’s grace, we were ..
.
able to experience the height of human sacrifice and the ability of
.
.
our brothers and sisters to manifest heroic love. Today, as we re.
member, let us pray for God’s grace and for an ever-increasing
.
.
capacity to love one another as Christ has loved us.
.

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION AVAILABLE: Saint Joseph’s is now offering
Spiritual Direction on a limited basis. In Spiritual Direction, the trained Director helps directees to become more aware of God in their own life experiences. The director focuses on God’s presence in each one’s life, prayer and communication. Spiritual Direction sessions are not geared to problem solving or
counseling, rather, the goal of Spiritual Direction is to gain a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus. Sessions are conducted one-on-one and are completely confidential. Again, it is not therapy.
If you are interested or have questions, please contact:

ST. JOSEPH’S
PAGINA OCHO
MENSAJE DEL PARROCO
Estimados Hermanos y
Hermanas en Jesús,
Hoy marca el 15 aniversario
del ataque terrorista contra
los Estados Unidos la
mañana del 11 de
septiembre, 2001 por el
estado Islámico el grupo alQaeda. En el cual murieron
2,996 personas y más de
6000 resultaron heridos. Hubo daños de $10 billones en propiedades e
infraestructura y $3 trillones fue el costo total. Fue un día que deseamos
que no hubiera ocurrido. Así comenzó la tragedia más terrible infligida
a nuestro país. Todos nosotros hemos sido cambiados, y nuestra forma
de vida nunca más será igual.
Al reflexionar sobre los eventos, recuerdo que una de las experiencias
transformadoras de aquellos tristes días fue que la gente se preguntaba
¿qué es importante en la vida? Ya las cosas por la cual nos
preocupábamos no tenía sentido. Y en nuestros corazones se quedo
grabado lo vulnerable que es la vida.
La lección para nosotros es, que no debemos aferrarnos a las cosas, pues
en cualquier momento tu vida puede cambiar, sin saber el porqué. Sin
embargo, con la gracia de Dios somos capaces de experimentar el
sacrificio humano. Hoy día, oremos por la gracia de Dios para que nos
dé una capacidad mayor para amarnos unos a otros como Cristo nos
ama.
Fr. Scott

Nuestra Señora del Milagro,
patrona de Republica
Dominicana. Fiesta, 13 de
septiembre.
En el año 1692 la imagen de
Inmaculada Concepción de María,
que luego se llamaría Virgen del
Milagro, se encontraba a tres
metros de altura en un nicho del retablo del Altar
Mayor. Cuenta la historia que aquel 13 de septiembre,
después de los fuertes y reiterados temblores que
destruyeron la ciudad de Esteco y fueron percibidos
con singular intensidad en la ciudad de Salta, se
encontró la imagen de la Inmaculada en el suelo sin
que sufrieran daño su rostro y manos y según la
tradición perdió los colores del rostro que quedó
pardo y macilento. La imagen fue llevada a la casa
del alcalde Bernardo Diez Zambrano donde se oró
toda la noche.
Al día siguiente, 14 de septiembre, se colocó la
imagen, que todos querían venerar, en el exterior de
la Iglesia Matriz donde continuaron los cambios de
colores del rostro y fue entonces cuando muchos
fieles comenzaron a llamarla “del Milagro”.
Una nueva historia empezaba para esta sencilla
imagen y para los salteños, que jamás abandonarían
su culto y su devoción Según la tradición oral y el
exhorto de Chávez y Abreu, el padre jesuita José
Carrión recibe la revelación de que el Santo Cristo
Crucificado de la Iglesia Matriz, que tenían sin
devoción y sin sacarlo en procesión, habría perdonado
a Salta a pedido y súplica de la Madre de Dios del
Milagro. Los padres jesuitas recordaron al Santo
Cristo y lo liberaron de su encierro; lo colocaron
frente a la iglesia que la Compañía de Jesús tenía en
el centro de la ciudad. La imagen fue sacada en
procesión por los fieles salteños con el ruego de
que cesaran los temblores, lo que finalmente
ocurrió.

Milagro. Es la mayor manifestación de fe de la

Señor y la Virgen del Milagro, patronos de Salta.
