The Redemptorists - The Boston Pilot

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
From the Rector
Very Rev. Joseph Tizio, C.Ss.R.
This week we celebrate two great feasts which demand our attention and give us a reason to be joyful. First and foremost, this
Monday, June 27th is the feast of our Patroness, Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Sometimes, when I worry about the parish and how
we are going to continue or how we are going to pay all our bills, I
always remind myself that Our Lady of Perpetual Help has guided
this parish for well over one hundred years. She has guided it through the great depression, two world wars, and countless other crises and difficulties. However, this basilica still
stands and it continues to be a vibrant faith community which proclaims the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to all our neighbors. So, if Our Lady of Perpetual Help has guided us through
all that, she is not going to abandon us now! We celebrate this week that the Virgin Mary
in indeed our Perpetual Help, the word “perpetual” is most important. As we say in the
novena prayers, she is ALWAYS ready to help us and that help will be perpetual, it will
never cease. We give thanks to our dear Mother of Perpetual Help for her love, protection, and guidance through all these years and we renew our confidence that she will
never abandon this wonderful parish community!
The other great feast this week is the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul this Wednesday,
June 29th. If Jesus Christ is the foundation and head of the Church, Peter and Paul are
the two great pillars which support it. Peter was chosen to lead the Church not because
of his strength but because of his weakness. Through failure and struggle he learned to
place all his trust in Christ alone. Once Paul was converted from persecuting the Church
to being a member of the Church; he gave his unstoppable energy and love to Christ and
became the second founder of Christianity after Christ himself. So, celebrate this week
and know that we will never be abandoned.

FROM THE RECTOR
En Español
Esta semana celebramos dos grandes fiestas que exigen
nuestra atención y nos dan una razón para estar alegre. En
primer lugar, este lunes 27, junio es la fiesta de nuestra Patrona, Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro. A veces, cuando
me preocupo por la parroquia y cómo vamos a continuar o
cómo vamos a pagar todas nuestras facturas, siempre me
recuerdo a mí mismo que la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro ha
guiado a esta parroquia desde hace más de cien años. Ella
ha guiado a través de la gran depresión, dos guerras mundiales, y un sinnúmero de otras crisis y dificultades. Sin embargo,
esta basílica sigue en pie y que sigue siendo una comunidad
vibrante en fe anunciando el Evangelio de Jesucristo a todos
nuestros vecinos. ¡Por lo tanto, si la Virgen del Perpetuo Socorro nos ha guiado a través de todo eso, ella no va a abandonarnos ahora! Celebramos esta semana que la Virgen María,
en efecto, nuestra ayuda perpetúa, la palabra “perpetuo” es
más importante, como decimos en las oraciones de la novena,
Siempre está dispuesta a ayudarnos y que la ayuda será perpetua, nunca cesará. ¡Damos gracias a nuestra querida Madre
del Perpetuo Socorro por su amor, protección y guía a través
de todos estos años y renovamos nuestra confianza en que ella
nunca va a abandonar esta maravillosa comunidad parroquial!
La otra gran fiesta esta semana es la Solemnidad de los Santos
Pedro y Pablo, este miércoles, 29 de junio. Si Jesucristo es el
fundamento y cabeza de la Iglesia, Pedro y Pablo son los dos
grandes pilares que lo soportan. Pedro fue elegido para dirigir
la Iglesia, no por su fuerza sino por su debilidad; a través del
fracaso y la lucha aprendió a poner toda su confianza en Cristo.
Una vez que Pablo se convirtió de perseguidor de la Iglesia
para ser miembro de la Iglesia; ha dado a su imparable energía y amor a Cristo y se convirtió en el segundo fundador del
cristianismo después de Cristo mismo. Por lo tanto, celebrar
esta semana y sabemos que nunca seremos abandonados.
Healing Service
