Moreno Dale Black Thomas Bono Joan Schollmyer Nikki Nunns Louise Misiano Nancy Annett Sympathy & Prayers Please pray for the recently deceased, especially Sharon Galvin, who died this week. We extend our sincerest sympathy to their families and friends. MEMORIAL DONATIONS AND FUND When a loved person dies, instead of giving gifts of specific items, we request that a donation be made to a parish memorial fund. The fund permits the family of the deceased to remember them through the purchase of an item that is both useful and necessary to the parish. In addition to the above, the following MEMORIALS can be had: BREAD & WINE for the week is available at a suggested offering of $25; FLOWERS for the altar for the week are available at a suggested offering of $35; and monthly ALTAR CANDLES at a suggested offering of $50. The Bread & Wine for the week are in memory of Thomas Murray, requested by his brothers and sisters. The Candles for the month are in memory of Thomas Murray requested by his brothers and sisters. Dear Friends, Bread For The World Bread is the most basic daily nourishment. We learn this as children. We also learn that too many live the cruel experience of hunger. The bible shows us a compassionate God, attentive to the fundamental needs of all. On the “Day of the Lord,” no one will lack nourishment. Then, all our needs will be met. Isaiah tells us no one will have to pay to eat: “You who have no money, come, receive grain and eat.” Utopia? Maybe, though not illusion; rather a project in history, in which we are protagonists, which upsets the established order. It should be abnormal for people to lack access to a healthy diet for themselves and their children, for want of money to pay for it, for something to which all are entitled. Christians must see today as the “Day of the Lord.” Isaiah reminds us that God promises life, to be lived in delight. Thus, the Lord invites all to listen and eat well. Pope John Paul II, speaking to over a million hungry people, told them that every person is entitled to have a table and bread on it, including “you who have no money.” He also often reminded the developed nations of their responsibility to collaborate in eradicating hunger within their own borders and in the developing world, where too many die daily for lack of bread. “When I was hungry…” Matthew reiterates this will for life. Jesus has compassion for those who lack bread. God never desires hunger. Jesus makes those who follow him his “companions;” i.e., he shares bread with them. This is what “companion” means: com = together, panis = bread. “Taking the loaves...he gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.” Jesus invites us to do the same, to share our bread, to embrace the poor, and indeed every person, as our “companions” in life, sisters and brothers in the project of building a more human, just, and loving society and world. So, nothing can separate us from the “love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8); even the lack of money for food. Breaking bread with Jesus entails a commitment to work for the transformation of the world’s systems to ensure access to a healthy diet for every human person. Estimados Amigos, Pan Para El Mundo El pan es el alimento diario más básico. Esto lo aprendemos como niños. También nos enteramos de que muchos viven la cruel experiencia del hambre. La Biblia nos muestra un Dios compasivo, atento a las necesidades fundamentales de todos. En el "Día del Señor", a nadie le faltará alimento. Todas nuestras necesidades se satisfarán. Isaías nos dice que nadie tendrá que pagar para comer: "los que no tienen dinero, vengan, tomen trigo y coman." Utopía? Tal vez, pero no engañoso; Es de veras un proyecto en la historia, en lo cual somos protagonistas, alterando el orden establecido. Debería ser anormal para que algunos no tengan acceso a una dieta saludable para ellos y sus hijos, por falta de dinero para costearlo, algo a que todos tenemos derecho. Para los Cristianos, hoy es el "Día del Señor." Isaías nos recuerda que Dios prometió la vida, para ser vivida en la alegría. Así, el Señor invita a todos a escuchar y comer bien. El Papa Juan Pablo II, hablando a más de un millón de personas que padecen hambre, les dijo que toda persona tiene derecho a tener una mesa y pan, incluyendo “Vds. que no tienen dinero." Él también a menudo exhortaba a los países desarrollados a recordar su responsabilidad de colaborar en erradicar el hambre dentro de sus fronteras y en el mundo en desarrollo, donde muchos mueren diariamente por falta de pan. "Cuando tuve hambre ..." Mateo reitera esta Voluntad por la vida. Jesús tiene compasión por aquellos que carecen de pan. Dios nunca desea hambre. Jesús trata a sus seguidores como "compañeros", es decir, Él comparte el pan con ellos. Esto es lo que significa "compañero": com = juntos, panis = pan. Él "partió los panes y se los dio a sus discípulos para que los distribuyeran a la gente." Jesús nos invita a hacer lo mismo, a compartir nuestro pan, para abrazar a los pobres, y cada persona en efecto, como nuestro "compañeros" en la vida, hermanas y hermanos en el proyecto de construir un mundo más humano, justo y amante. Por lo tanto, nada puede apartarnos del "amor con que nos ama Cristo" (Romanos 8); aún la falta de dinero para la comida. Partir el pan con Jesús implica un compromiso de trabajar por la transformación de los sistemas del mundo para garantizar el acceso a una dieta saludable para toda persona humana. Chers Amis, Pen pou lemonn antye Pen se manje chak jou ki pi fondamantal la. Nou aprann sa depi nou tou piti. Nou aprann tou ke twòp moun oblije ap viv move esperyans grangou a. Bib la montre nou yon Bondye ki gen bon kè kap koute ak anpil atansyon bezwen fondamantal nou tout. Lè "jou Seyè a rive" pap gen moun kap manke manje. Lè sa a tout bezwen nou yo va disparèt. Ezayi di nou pa gen moun kap gen pou peye pou yo manje: "Ou menm ki pa gen lajan vini resevwa grenn jaden yo ak manje." Yap fè w la fil a lang? Petèt men se pa ilizyon. Se yon pwojè nan listwa ki boulvèse lòd etabli a. Li ta anòmal pou moun ta peye pou yo manje oubyen ankò pou moun ki pa gen lajan pou peye pou yon bagay ke yo gen dwa a li. Kretyen yo dwe wè jodi a kòm "Jou Seyè a." Isaiah fè nou sonje ke Bondye pwomèt lavi e nou dwe viv nan kè kontan. Se konsa Seyè a envite nou tout koute ak manje byen. Pap Jan Pòl II tape pale ak plis pase yon milyon moun ki te grangou lèl te di yo ke tout moun gen dwa gen yon tab ak pen sou li. " menm oumenm tou ki pa gen okenn lajan." Byen souvan li te raple lòt nasyon ki devlope yo reskonsablite yo nan mete tèt yo ansanm pou elimine grangou konmanse lakay yo rive jous nan mond ki devlope yo kote twòp moun ap mouri chak jou paske yo grangou. "Lè mwen te grangou ..." Matye repale de volonte sa a pou lavi. Jezi gen pitye pou moun ki manke manje. Bondye pa janm vle grangou Jezi fè moun ki swiv li yo vin "zanmi li " sa vle di li te pataje pen ak yo. Se sa ki "konpayon" ki vle di: com = ansanm panis = pen." Li pran pen yo ... li renmèt yo bay disip yo ki pote yo bay foul moun yo." Jezi envite nou fè menm bagay la. Pataje manje nou anbrase pòv yo fè tout moun vin "zanmi "nou nan lavi a vin sè ak frè nan pwojè bati yon sosyete ak yon monn ki jis ki chita sou renmen sou tè a. Konsa pa gen anyen ki ka fè nou pèdi "renmen Bondye nan Jezikri Seyè nou an" (Women 8); menm lè pa gen lajan pou manje. Fr. Bill Partager le pain avec Jésus implique un engagement à travailler à la transformation des systèmes dans le monde pour assurer l'accès à une alimentation saine pour toute personne humaine. Fr. Bill Page 3 PARISH FINANCIAL REPORT FOR WEEK OF JULY 27, 2014 Sharing our TIME, TALENT, TREASURE Weekly Budget $9,000.00 Weekly Collection Outreach collection $4,698.00 $2,635.00 Last year’s collection $3,843.00 We thank you for your continued donations. If you have already increased your donation each week, we are ever grateful. Please pray about your weekly donation and, if possible, add a little more at offertory time—the monies will be put to good use. You are the reason we are able to keep the building in working order. REFLECTION IN MEMORIAM In today’s Gospel, Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves and two fish. The message of stewardship is that God’s gifts, shared, will always be more than enough. We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who recognize that it is through the open hands of generous stewards, willing to share their many gifts, that God’s people are fed and their needs met. For those who suffer from the effects of abortion; for mothers, fathers, children, and friends; that God might wipe the tears from their eyes and heal their broken hearts: In 2013, 11,419 people were killed by gun violence. This equates to 502,025 stolen years of life. Let us turn to our Lord in prayer that we make a commitment to the control of firearms and bring about a culture of love and peace. We pray to the Lord: Marriage Encounter—1-866-499-6354 Lord, hear our prayer. Retrouvaille—1-800-470-2230 Beginning Experience—516-739-0973/516-822-0635 Page 4 A PEEK at the WEEK’S ACTIVITIES here at OLMM Monday—*Baptism Instruction—English 7 p.m., Maria Regina room Tuesday—*K of C Business meeting 7:30 p.m., Maria Regina room Wednesday— Thursday— Friday— Saturday— Sunday— Peace Begins With Us Christianity is a personal religion. Leave dogma to those who enjoy it; The true Christian is simply one of Christ’s followers. I cannot understand the nature of Infinite Energy; but I can follow Jesus Christ because we have the story of His life, actions and words. I have more faith in the practical wisdom and knowledge of Jesus than I have in that of any statesman, soldier, or philosopher. Jesus has given us the most glorious interpretation of life’s meaning of any person who has ever lived. William Lyon Phelps American author and scholar Sponsored by the OLMM Roundtable for the Common Good Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety, or by the handle of faith. ~Author Unknown MAY I REMEMBER……. God, I find myself heartbroken by the hatred I see all around me. So I ask that I may never forget…. That behind every brown, yellow, red, black or white face, there is a family like mine and souls trying to live in a world that often tells them they are less than or unworthy, aliens that are not wanted. May I never lose sight of the soul behind each face, the souls of Your children. That behind every homeless person there is a story that may be so familiar to me as to be uncomfortable. May I never be comfortable until there are no more homeless faces seeking a kind word, or an opportunity, or just a smile and a little love. That I never forget the truth of Your gospel, that storing up riches here, withholding from others out of some misguided sense of superiority or right to judge, that treating any one of Your children as unworthy to come to Your table is not the Christian love You came to teach us. That I count as treasures the friends who stand beside me, encouraging, loving, supporting and accepting me, through word and deed. Sometimes just being available, sometimes through prayer, sometimes through sacrifice of their own. Let me never take them for granted, and always see them as the blessing You meant them to be, and do my very best to love them as well as they have loved me. That when I see actions or hear words that mean harm to the ‘other’, to never stand still or be quiet in the face of injustice, cruelty, racism, to call out behavior that seeks to harm my neighbor. To always see in each face the potential of a child of God no matter how I might disagree with their manner or actions. To protect those who are being shunned, criticized, or even threatened because they are considered different. That I see and cherish each small blessing from a spontaneous hug given by a grandchild, to a moment of clarity when I realize that my grown children love and understand me despite my obvious imperfections, a gesture or look from a husband who shows devotion and commitment each day, an unexpected phone call or card from someone reminding me that I matter, to the sunset, birdsong, moonlight, joyous bark or laugh that sweeten my life.

No puedo entender la naturaleza de la Energía Infinita; pero puedo seguir a Jesucristo, porque tenemos la historia de su vida, acciones y palabras. Tengo más fe en la práctica, la sabiduría y el conocimiento de Jesús que en la de cualquier hombre de Estado, soldado, o filósofo. Jesús nos ha dado la interpretación más gloriosa del sentido de la vida de cualquier persona que haya vivido.
