THIS WEEK AT THE CENTER… TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 19, 2018
The Queenship of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
Saint of the Day for August 22 Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954. But Mary’s queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary’s Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever. At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary “mother of my Lord.” As in all the mysteries of Mary’s life, she is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus’ kingship. We can also recall that in the Old Testament the mother of the king has great influence in court. In the fourth century Saint Ephrem called Mary “Lady” and “Queen.” Later Church fathers and doctors continued to use the title. Hymns of the 11th to 13th centuries address Mary as queen: “Hail, Holy Queen,” “Hail, Queen of Heaven,” “Queen of Heaven.” The Dominican rosary and the Franciscan crown as well as numerous invocations in Mary’s litany celebrate her queenship. The feast is a logical follow-up to the Assumption, and is now celebrated on the octave day of that feast. In his 1954 encyclical To the Queen of Heaven, Pius XII points out that Mary deserves the title because she is Mother of God, because she is closely associated as the New Eve with Jesus’ redemptive work, because of her preeminent perfection, and because of her intercessory power. Reflection: As Saint Paul suggests in Romans 8:28–30, God has predestined human beings from all eternity to share the image of his Son. All the more was Mary predestined to be the mother of Jesus. As Jesus was to be king of all creation, Mary, in depend-ence on Jesus, was to be queen. All other titles to queenship derive from this eternal intention of God. As Jesus exercised his kingship on earth by serving his Father and his fellow human beings, so did Mary exercise her queenship. As the glorified Jesus remains with us as our king till the end of time (Matthew 28:20), so does Mary, who was assumed into heaven and crowned queen of heaven and earth. www.franciscanmedia.org

Breaking Bread Homeless Ministries News From The Streets…
An Invitation By Mary Martha Primerano What does love look like? I see a reminder of love every time I walk into our church. Jesus on the cross and right behind the raised cross is a large portrait of Resurrected Jesus with his arms wide open. This portrait is so comforting and inviting. But if we’re not careful the cares of this life will cause us to lose sight of Him. Thinking we can handle whatever troubles that come our way alone without crying out to Him for help. But this is faulty thinking. The enemy would love for us to be isolated and alone, and if we choose this we will find our-selves growing cold, or distant to the things of God. There’s even a warning found in Revelations 2:4 concerning this: “Yet I hold this against you. You have lost your first love.” Don’t lose your first love and reach out to the hurting around you.People are hurting all around us. Just be there for them, give them the help they need, lift them up and en-courage them, and don’t forget to invite them to church where they will be surrounded with other believers. Revelation 3:20 – “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.” A simple invitation to church could be Jesus knocking at the door of our hearts. The Breaking Bread team got to see this play out during ministry a couple of weeks ago. The offer to attend church with us went out to our homeless friends, and we got a re-sponse, ‘yes, I’ll go!’ - We quickly found some nice clothing from our donations and presented them to our guest. One team member graciously brought our friend to church the next morning, where he felt God’s love displayed. We fol-lowed the service with an invitation to lunch and while there we discovered that it was his birthday which made the lunch even more special! Our guest also shared that he was a vet-eran with PTS, and has been self medicating himself for this for a long time. We were able to minister to him, pray, and encourage him to find more help. I know PTS is real and effects may of our veteran’s family and friends. Continue to pray for anyone you know hurt by this trauma because God loves them very much.

PAGINA 6 XX DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO, CICLO B 19 DE AGOSTO DEL 2018
DAOS CUENTA DE LO
QUE EL SEÑOR QUIERE
Juan 6,51-58.- ¡Eucaristía, anticipación del banquete! La li-turgia nos ofrece hoy un espacio para meditar sobre el misteriodel amor que se dona en la Santísima Eucaristía. Nos predica una religiosa, la Hna. Gloria I. Huérfano, O.P., Superiora General de las Dominicas Hijas de N. S. de Nazareth. La numeración es nuestra. ¿Dónde quieres que te hagamos los preparativos para comer el cordero de Pascua? (Mt 26, 17). Jesús celebra su Pascua como un banquete. El banquete que Jesús preside se celebra como la Pascua de los Judíos. Pero en este banquete existe una inmensa diferencia y novedad con respecto a la Pascua Hebrea. La cena de Jesús se celebra en el contexto de su pasión y muerte, y él, en la Eucaristía, anticipa simbólica y realmente su sacrificio de reden-ción. El es el sacerdote y la víctima de ese sacrificio. Jesús aque-lla noche sustituye el Antiguo por el Nuevo Testamento: "esta es mi sangre..." (Mt 26, 28). A la antigua Pascua histórica y figurati-va él une y hace suceder su Pascua también histórica, definitiva, pero figurativa también ella de otro acontecimiento último, la Parusía final: "No beberé más de este fruto de la vid hasta el día en que lo beba de nuevo con vosotros en el Reino de mi Pa-dre" (Mt 26, 29). Estas palabras dan a la Eucaristía el carácter de un banquete que tendrá su plena realización después de nuestra resurrección. La Eucaristía es, de hecho, sacramento de comunión con el Cristo Pascual, con Cristo muerto y resucitado, que ha en-trado en una nueva fase de su existencia, la gloriosa a la derecha del Padre. Comulgar con Jesús en la Eucaristía significa, por tan-to, participar ya desde esta tierra en su vida gloriosa, en su comu-nión con el Padre. "Dichosos los invitados a las bodas del Corde-ro" (Ap 19,9). Banquete Sagrado.- La liturgia canta bellamente: " Oh sagra-do banquete en el que se recibe a Cristo, se renueva el memorial de su Pasión, el alma se colma de gracia, y se nos da una prenda de gloria futura". Tomás de Aquino exclama: "¡Oh banquete pre-cioso y admirable!" Dice el texto del evangelio de hoy: "El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna, y yo le resuci-taré el último día. Porque mi carne es verdadera comida y mi san-gre verdadera bebida. El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, permanece en mí y yo en él. Lo mismo que el Padre, que vive, me ha enviado y yo vivo por el Padre, vivirá por mí. El que coma este pan vivirá para siempre" (Jn 6,54-59). San Agustín comenta: "Los hombres quieren lograr con comida y bebida no tener ham-bre ni sed. Sin embargo, esto no lo otorga más que esta comida y
esta bebida. Quien las toma se vuelve inmortal e incorruptible y se ve introducido en la comunión de los santos. Allí habrá paz y unidad completa y perfecta". Realmente es así: Jesucristo hizo en verdad un sacrificio inconcebiblemente grande, se dio a sí mismo en el Sacramento del altar, para poder permanecer entre nosotros hasta la consumación de los siglos. La Pascua completa del Señor se extiende desde el principio de los tiempos hasta la venida final y definitiva (Mt 24,3). El es el Primogénito de toda la creación. A través de la persona del Verbo todo ha sido hecho y todo se sigue haciendo "y sin ella no se hizo nada de cuanto existe" (Jn 1,3). Es más: toda la creación va convergiendo hacia la persona de Cristo resucitado como hacia un punto Omega. Todo existe a través de El, con El y por El. Prenda y Esperanza.- De esta gran esperanza de los cielos nuevos y la tierra nueva en los que habitará la justicia, no tene-mos prenda más segura, signo más manifiesto que la Eucaristía. En efecto cada vez que se celebra este misterio "se realiza la obra de nuestra redención" (Plegaria Eucarística III del Misal Ro-mano). Y "partimos un mismo pan que es remedio de inmortali-dad, antídoto para no morir, alimento para vivir en Jesucristo para siempre" (San Ignacio de Antioquia, Eph. 20,2). Concédenos Señor Jesús, por María tu Madre, gozar plenamente de tu vida divina en el banquete eterno que pregustamos en este sacramento de tu Cuerpo y de tu Sangre, y seamos ahora colmados de gracia y bendición. Amén.
Fr. Nelson Medina, O.P.
