<< It is most important that the Holy Eucharist becomes life’s focal point: that the Eucharistic Savior is the center of existence; that every day is received from his hand and laid back therein; that the day’s happenings are deliberated with him. In this way, God is given the best opportunity to be heard in the heart. >>
† St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)

August 11, 2019—19th Sunday in Ordinary Time Introduction My friends, it’s easy to put our faith on the back burner as we deal with life’s demands. But today’s Gospel is clear that we are always expected to be aware and prepared. Jesus usually shows up in our lives under unexpected circumstances and in unexpected people. We will only recognize these many opportunities if we’re paying attention. We coast along at our own risk. Faith and readiness are lifelong attitudes, honed one careful day at a time. Prayer of the Faithful My friends, we are aware of our needs and the needs of those around us, and so we pray for them.
For the whole church: that we may live with deep faith and awareness even in the face of contrary evidence … we pray,
For those who have grown weary of believing or have lost faith … we pray,
For faith in the God of peace and for awareness of opportunities for peacemaking … we pray,
For faith in the God of justice and for the courage to work for a just world … we pray,
For faith in the God of healing and for the commitment to serve the sick and discouraged … we pray,
For faith in the God of truth and for the gift of discernment in a culture of exaggerations and half-truths … we pray,
For all who are suffering in our community and for renewed efforts to meet their needs … we pray,
PRAYER: God who fulfills all promises, you call us into unknown territory and urge us to be open to unseen possibilities. Keep us alert when the duties of life distract us and when our focus on the coming of your kingdom wanes. We pray in the name of your Son, Jesus, who calls us to be ready. Amen.

A Prayer to Jesus in Time of Distress by Padre Pio
Oh my Jesus, give m Your strength when my human nature is weak and I become downcast
because of the distress and suffering of this life. Help me to accept all things with serenity an peace.
With all my heart I pray to draw strength from your merits, Your pain, Your sufferings and
Your tears, so that I may with You in saving souls.
Grant me the Strength to turn away from sin, which is the cause of Your agony, Your sweat of blood
and your death on the Cross.
Cleanse me of all that displeases You and fill my heart with the fire of Your holy love.
Draw me tenderly, powerfully, close to You, that I may never leave You alone and
Your harsh Passion.
I ask only for a place of rest in Your Sacred Heart. I wish only to share in Your agony and be beside
You in the Garden.
May my soul be joyously filled with Your love and nourished by the graces of Your sufferings and sorrows.
~Amen

<< It is the wisdom of the just to love the truth as it is and to avoid what is false, to do what is right without reward and to be more willing to put up with evil than to do it, not to seek revenge for wrong, and to consider as gain any insult for truth’s sake.>> † Pope St. Gregory the Great
HOLY FAMILY PARISH 19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
A quem muito foi dado, muito será cobrado! 19º Dom Tempo Comum (Ano C): Sabedoria 18,6- 9; Sl 33(32); Hebreus 11,1-2.8-19; Lucas 12,32-48
O nosso texto começa com uma referência ao “verdadeiro tesouro” que os discípulos devem procurar e que não está nos bens deste mundo (vers. 33-34): trata-se do “Reino” e dos seus valores. A questão fundamental é: como descobrir e guardar esse “tesouro”? A resposta é dada em três quadros ou “parábolas”, que apelam à vigilância.
A primeira parábola (vers. 35-38) convida a ter os rins cingidos e as lâmpadas acesas (o que parece aludir a Ex 12,11 e à noite da primeira Páscoa, celebrada de pé e “com os rins cingidos”, antes da viagem para a liberdade), como homens que esperam o senhor que volta da sua festa de casamento. Os crentes são, assim, convidados a estarem preparados para acolher a libertação que Jesus veio trazer e que os levará da terra da escravidão para a terra da liberdade; e são também convidados a acolherem “o noivo” (Jesus) que veio propor à “noiva” (os homens) a comunhão plena com Deus (a “nova aliança”, representada na teologia judaica através da imagem do casamento).
A segunda parábola (vers. 39-40) aponta para a incerteza da hora em que o Senhor virá. A imagem do ladrão que chega a qualquer hora, sem ser esperado, é uma imagem estranha para falar de Deus; mas é uma imagem sugestiva para mostrar que o discípulo fiel é aquele que está sempre preparado, a qualquer hora e em qualquer circunstância, para acolher o Senhor que vem.
A terceira parábola (vers. 41-48) parece dirigir-se (é nesse contexto que a pergunta de Pedro nos coloca) aos responsáveis da comunidade. Nas palavras originais de Jesus, a parábola devia ser uma crítica aos responsáveis do Povo de Israel; mas, na interpretação de Lucas, a parábola dirige-se aos animadores da comunidade cristã, que devem permanecer fiéis às suas tarefas de animação e de serviço: se algum deles descuida as suas responsabilidades no serviço aos irmãos e usa as funções que lhe foram confiadas de forma negligente ou em benefício próprio, será castigado. Nos dois últimos versículos, o castigo diversifica-se de acordo o tipo de desobediência: os que desobedeceram intencionalmente serão mais castigados; os que desobedeceram não intencionalmente serão menos castigados. A referência às “vergastadas” deve ser entendida no contexto da linguagem dos pregadores da época e manifesta a repulsa de Deus por aqueles que negligenciam a missão que lhes foi confiada. Provavelmente Lucas tem diante dos olhos o exemplo de alguns animadores cristãos que, pela sua preguiça ou pela sua maldade, perturbavam seriamente a vida das comunidades a que presidiam. Em qualquer caso, estas linhas sublinham a maior responsabilidade daqueles que, na Igreja, desempenham funções de responsabilidade… A última afirmação (“a quem muito foi dado, muito será exigido, a quem muito foi confiado, mais se lhe pedirá – vers. 48b) é claramente dirigida aos responsáveis da comunidade; mas pode aplicar-se a todos os que receberam dons materiais ou espirituais.
Everyone can help end Parkinson’s disease. That's why I've registered for the 12th annual New England Parkinson's Ride on Satur-
day, September 7, 2019 where over 1,000 cyclists will gather to help pedal closer to a cure.
Last year with your help I was able to raise $1,450 and Howell Team reached over $12,000. With your support this year I hope we can go over this mark.
An estimated five million people worldwide live with Parkinson's today. It is the second most common neurological disorder. In the
United States, approximately 60,000 new cases will be diagnosed this year alone. There is no known cure.
Together, we can change this.
Team Fox is the grassroots community fundraising program at The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF). MJFF accelerates high-impact science through smart risk taking and problem solving with a commitment to urgency and efficiency. I’m one of thousands of people around the globe who are turning their passions into Team Fox fundraisers to help them speed a cure
for Parkinson’s. When you give today, 100 percent of Team Fox proceeds go straight to MJFF’s programmatic efforts.
Thank you for supporting the New England Parkinson's Ride and the mission of The Michael J. Fox Foundation to help speed a cure for Parkinson's! https://www.neparkinsonsride.com
