Have no fear for what

The same loving God who
cares for you today will

either shield you from
suffering or give you
unfailing strength to bear
it. Be at peace, then, put
aside all anxious thoughts
and imaginations. Amen.

WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART?
Do you have what it takes to be a disciple? Don’t panic: You don’t have to “hate” your
family. Though Jesus’ words sound as strong then as they do now, see them in terms
of the rest of what he says in the gospel passage, the big message of which is: Measure
your resources before starting on something, like a king contemplating giving battle or
a builder sizing up whether he can afford to complete a structure. That means being
ready to renounce your possessions and to put your faith ahead of all else—including
your family if it came to that, though it probably never will. More certain is the
possibility that following Jesus will involve taking up the cross at some point. Are we
prepared to make the necessary sacrifices?
WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,
& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

FROM THE PASTOR
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
.
.
.
.
There are big doings in Rome this weekend. Pope Francis is
.
canonizing Blessed Teresa of Kolkata (Calcutta) on Sunday,
.
.
September 4. She will now be formally known as St. Teresa of
.
Kolkata, but I have a feeling most of us will remember and refer ..
to her always as Mother Teresa, much like most still refer to St. ..
.
Pio as Padre Pio. And St. John Paul II and St. John XXVIII.
.
.
Whatever we call them, they are Saints of our day, our life.
.
time… and models of holiness for us all. Starting this weekend
.
we will include a quote from our newest saint each week. She is .
.
infinitely quotable and her thoughts profoundly simple.
.
.
.
Last Saturday, I had the privilege of officiating my “baby broth- ..
er’s” (he’s not going to like me calling him this!) 25th wedding ..
anniversary renewal of vows. It was a beautiful day as we gath- .
.
.
ered in their backyard with friends and families in attendance.
.
With their three boys flanking them, Roger and Mary restated
.
.
their vows to love and honor and cherish. The “look of love”
.
.
that was evident in their eyes took me back 25 years to their
.
.
wedding day. Thank God that look is still the same, more
.
knowing and experienced, but still the same. Much like the con- ..
stant consistent love that God has for each one of us, their love ..
.
has been patient and kind, humble and quick to forgive.
.
.
There was celebration and some tears as we remembered those ..
of our family who were no longer physically with us. The wed- ..
.
ding video brought us back to big eyeglasses and ‘Jersey girl
.
hair,’ when we were all so much younger (and thinner!). Life is .
.
.
a journey and I am so glad we were able to enjoy another stop
.
along the way.
.
.
.
Enjoy what’s left of the weekend and God bless us all as anoth- ..
.
er school year begins!

END OF MONTH 4: Developing Baby
“I can suck my thumb!”
Spiritual Adoption Program
Your spiritually adopted baby has hit many
milestones in the 2nd trimester! The baby is
now 6-1/2 to 7 inches long and weighs about 6
to 7 ounces. Baby is developing reflexes and may even be sucking his
thumb! Tooth buds are also developing. Fingers and toes are well
defined. Gender is identifiable. Although recognizably human in appearance, the baby would not be able to survive outside the mother’s body. Pray that the Lord of Life might move the heart of her
mother to give her the most precious gift of all...THE GIFT OF LIFE!
“Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare
the life of [baby’s name] the unborn baby that I have spiritually
adopted who is in danger of abortion.”
- Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Our Youth Choir will begin its practices in
September. We are changing our practice

Please let Gina and Claire know if your
child is interested to sing with the Youth
Choir. There will be approximately 3
rehearsals per month and the Youth Choir
will sing at mass twice per month. A fall
schedule will be given out at the first
rehearsal. For more info, email Gina at

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 Cristo,
Este domingo, 4 de septiembre el Papa Francisco canonizara, a la
Bendecida Madre Teresa de Kolkata (Calcuta) y oficialmente se llamara
Santa Teresa de Kolkata. Muchos de nosotros, le seguiremos llamando
por el nombre de Madre Teresa al igual que hacemos con Padre Pio,
Papa Juan Pablo II y Papa San Juan XXVIII. No importa cómo le
llamemos, lo importante es que ellos son Santos de nuestra era. Por lo
cual debemos admirarlos y verlos como modelos, por su dedicación a
una vida de Santidad.
El Sabado pasado, yo tuve el privilegio de oficiar el 25 aniversario de
boda de mi hermano. Fue un día magnifico rodeado de amistades y
familia. Cuando Roger y Mary reafirmaron sus votos matrimoniales, la
mirada de “amor” era evidente, igual que fue el día de su boda. Gracias
a Dios que esa Mirada es la misma, constante en amor con más sabiduría
y experiencia. Muy similar al amor de Dios que es constante,
compasivo, paciente, humilde y ligero en perdonar. La vida es un
camino, y me allegro mucho poder estar juntos una vez más.
¡Que Dios los Bendiga!
Fr. Scott
“Debemos proteger la creación porque es un don que
el Señor nos ha dado, es el regalo de Dios para
nosotros; somos los guardianes de la creación.”
- Papa Francisco
Oración
No temas de lo que el mañana pueda traer. El mismo Dios amoroso
que se preocupa por ti, se hará cargo de ti, mañana y todos los días.
Dios, te protege de sufrimiento o te da una inmensa fuerza para
soportarlo. Manténgase en paz, y, deja a un lado los pensamientos e
imaginaciones de ansiedad.
San Francisco de Sales.
Cita de Santa Teresa de Calcuta
Siempre que nos encontremos con otra persona, debemos de
sonreír, pues la sonrisa es el comienzo del amor.

Nuestra Señora de la
Caridad del Cobre,
patrona de Cuba. Fiesta,
8 de septiembre.
Alrededor de 1612 o 1613, unos
campesinos que habían ido por sal se encontraron
con una imagen de la Virgen flotando sobre las
aguas de la bahía de Nipe, dichos son conocidos
como "los tres Juanes".
La imagen llevaba un cartel en el que se leía:
"Yo soy la Virgen de la Caridad". La imagen fue
trasladada al pueblecito de Barajaguas. Años más
tarde la trasladaron a la Parroquia del Cobre.
De ambos lugares desaparecía y volvía a ocupar
el mismo sitio. El pueblo entendió que quizás
la Virgen quería dar a entender con estas
desapariciones y apariciones que quería estar en
otro lugar. Una niña llamada Apolonia decía que
la veía en la montaña del Cobre... El pueblo,
después de haber orado, contempló una noche en
ese mismo lugar un gran resplandor, con gran
preocupación. Al asumir que la Virgen deseaba
estar en ese monte, le hicieron una pequeña
ermita donde la trasladaron y donde se encuentra
actualmente en el Santuario Nacional.
El Santo Padre Benedicto XV la proclamó Patrona
de Cuba a petición de los Veteranos de la Guerra
de la Independencia el 10 de mayo de 1916.
Desde los primeros tiempos se le honró bajo el
título de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad a cuyo
amparo los fieles acuden en oración.
En 1977, el Papa Pablo VI eleva a la dignidad de
Basílica al Santuario Nacional de Nuestra Señora
de la Caridad del Cobre.
La Virgen de la Caridad fue coronada por el Papa
Juan Pablo II como Reina y Patrona de Cuba el 24 de
Enero de 1998, durante la Santa Misa que celebró en
su visita apostólica a Santiago de Cuba.
El 28 de agosto de 2014, el Papa Francisco presidió
un encuentro de oración, para el acto de colocación
de una copia de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre
en los jardines vaticanos.
