But the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do wonders. The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that every family may experience visitation for one week from our Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email him at [email protected]. This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to Joe & JoAnne Morrone at the 12:00 Noon Mass. EVANGELIZATION R.C.I.A.

Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar VIGESIMO OCTAVO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO JESUS CURA A UN CIEGO LLAMADO BARTIMEO (Evangelio de San Marcos 10, 46-52) Queridos Hermanos: En la época de Jesús y quizá actualmente todavía, la ceguera es relativamente frecuente en el Medio Oriente. El desierto, el polvo, la falta de hygiene y el extraordinario resplandor de la luz solar, son causa de la inflamación de los ojos, que en en algunos casos ocasiona la ceguera. Jesucristo conoció a muchos ciegos. Ellos eran un reflejo de miseria, desamparo y desesperanza. La mayoría de ellos no tenían otra salida que la de ser mendigos. Pero este milagro que hizo Jesucristo de curar al ciego Bartimeo, no solamente se trata de un milagro, o de una obra de caridad. La curación de Bartimeo, es una fuerte crítica de Jesús contra sus discípulos y denuncia su incomprensión y torpeza, ellos se han opuesto sistemáticamente a Jesús, cuando El les ha hablado de dar la vida, de compartir, de ser los últimos, de ser como niños, de "sacarse los ojos" si son ocasión de pecado, de ser fieles en el Matrimonio, de ser servidores, etc. Este milagro, es toda una catequesis, que nos invita a un cambio interior y a la conversion. A Bartimeo le falta la luz y la orientación, está sentado porque teme tropezar si camina, está al borde del camino, es decir, no hay una trayectoria definida en su vida, él es un mendigo, es decir, su vida depende de los demás. Pero dentro de este "ciego" hay una fe profunda que lo hace reaccionar para ponerlo de nuevo en el verdadero camino, aunque no puede ver, escucha perfectamente que Jesús está pasando por allí, y por eso empieza a gritar para pedirle ayuda. La curación de Bartimeo, expresa el paso del alejamiento (está al borde del camino), a la proximidad (se acercó a Jesús); de la pasividad (estaba sentado), a la acción (lo siguió por el camino); de la marginación (muchos lo regañaban), a la liberación (recobró la vista). Este Evangelio maravilloso, es el itinerario de un convertido a Jesús, que desea formar parte de la comunidad cristiana: Reconoce su situación, ora con humildad, invoca a Dios a pesar de las dificultades, se deja interrogar, abre los ojos a la luz de la fe, y se compromete en seguir a Jesús. Bartimeo no creyó por haber sido curado, sino que fue curado por haber creído. Por su fe, Jesús lo curó. Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a dejar aquel "manto" de pecados que nos esclaviza y demos un salto, para acercarnos más a Jesús y contemplarlo especialmente con los ojos de la fe. Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando. EVANGELIZACION CATEQUESIS PARA ADULTOS (R.I.C.A.) El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos es un proceso de conversión y crecimiento espiritual, que toma tiempo, en nuestra relación con Dios y la Iglesia. Es un camino de fe donde los adultos están totalmente bienvenidos en la Iglesia Católica. Si usted está interesado en la exploración de una relación con Jesucristo y se a preguntado acerca de la Iglesia Católica, o convirtiéndose a la fe católica, la iniciación en la Iglesia Católica a través de la celebración de los sacramentos del Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía. LE DAMOS UNA CORDIAL BIENVENIDA! Para obtener más información acerca del proceso, R.I.C.A. por favor póngase en contacto con la Hermana Glafira Ortega a los teléfonos 843-742-0341 o 249-2356.

OLSS OUTREACH MINISTRY OLSS (Outreach Ministry) Ministerio de Ayuda de Nuestra Parroquia estará aceptando donaciones después de la misa. Todas las donaciones son realmente apreciadas. "Porque tuve hambre, y me disteis de comer ... " Gracias por su continuo apoyo a la Cocina de Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar y nuestras familias en el Programa de Distribución de Alimentos. Nuestra necesidad es muy grande. Muchos han tenido poco trabajo en esta temporada y el ingreso familiar ha sido mínimo. Nuestro programa de seguridad alimentaria y la Cocina de la Virgen han sido un apoyo real para las familias que tienen dificultades económicas. Sus donaciones financieras y contribuciones de alimentos son nuestro único medio de apoyo a esta necesidad creciente en nuestra comunidad de North Myrtle Beach. Estos programas no podrían existir sin su ayuda. GRACIAS Y QUE DIOS LOS SIGA BENDICIENDO.
