Dear Parishioners: The Octave of the Assumption of Mary, which we are celebrating now, culminates tomorrow with the traditional feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (in the modern calendar, it's the Queenship of Mary). It's beautiful that the Church honors our Mother's glory by venerating especially her Heart. This veneration is the reason why August is traditionally called the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This feast of Mary's Heart is the octave feast of the feast of her Assumption into Heaven, which means the two feasts are connected in the logic of the Sacred Liturgy. The truth of Mary's Assumption means that her physical Heart is in Heaven, glorified in its resurrection and ascension in her Son. Mary is the first to share in her Son's Resurrection and Ascension. She followed where He went first. Her Heart, which was always in Heaven by faith, hope and love, is now in Heaven by glory. As we saw last Sunday, she had first suffered and died with Him in her Heart. We celebrate on August 22 that she has also risen with Him! Each Christian is invited by grace to this same sharing in Jesus's Resurrection and Ascension. We are all called and empowered to live, like Mary, with our hearts already in Heaven by faith, hope and charity, so that they can one day be in Heaven in glory. This is the key to happiness even in this life: to have our treasures and hearts already in the Heavenly happiness that never passes away. We are called by Jesus to live like Mary, suf-fering and dying with Him so as to rise with Him. The easiest and most accessible way for us to keep our hearts in Heaven, and thus achieve real happiness, is by the life of prayer, which exercises the theological virtues of faith, hopeand charity. This is one of the reasons why daily time of prayer is a duty for all Christians. Daily prayer is ordinarily necessary for salvation. It is the way I keep my heart locked in to my eternal happiness so that I don't deviate by sin from the good path. In my daily prayer, I meditate on divine things and ask for the help I need to be saved. Prayer, along with the sacraments, is the way for me to fol-low Jesus and Mary. The Holy Rosary is a most excellent way to exercise our duty and privilege of prayer. If I pray the Rosary with devout meditation on the mysteries, I have entered into the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who "kept these things in her Heart." In this way, the Rosary is the best and easiest way for me to keep my heart in Heaven, in the glorious abode of Mary's Heart. This time of the octave of the Assumption is an excellent opportunity to commit ourselves to the daily recitation of the Holy Rosary. One could, for example, pray five decades of the Rosary upon rising, another five decades on his lunch break or during afternoon naps for the kids, and then another five decades with the whole family at the end of the day. Let this be a kind of back-to-school resolution for us all. If we pray this way, with devotion and attention and love, we will be saints in no time! Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for us!! May God Bless you all Father Joseph Previtali

Queridos feligreses: La octava de la Asunción de María, que estamos celebrando ahora, culmina mañana con la tradicional fiesta del Inmaculado Corazón de María (en el calendario moderno, es la Realeza de María). Es her-moso que la Iglesia rinde homenaje a la gloria de nuestra Madre venerando especialmente su corazón. Esta veneración es la razón por la que Agosto es tradicionalmente llamado el Mes del Corazón Inmaculado de María. Esta fiesta del Corazón de María es la fiesta octava de la fiesta de su Asunción al cielo, lo que significa que las dos fiestas están conectados en la lógica de la sagrada Liturgia. La verdad de la Asunción de María significa que su corazón físico está en los cielos, glorificado en su resurrección y ascensión de su Hijo. María es la primera en participar de la Resurrección y la Ascensión de su Hijo. Siguió a donde Él fue primero. Su corazón, que estaba siempre en el Cielo por la fe, la esperanza y el amor, ahora esta en el cielo por la gloria. Como vimos el domingo pasado, que había sufri-do primero y murió con él en su corazón. Celebramos el 22 de agos-to que ella también ha resucitado con Él! Cada cristiano es invitado por la gracia a esta misma participación en la resurrección y ascen-sión de Jesús. Todos estamos llamados y capacitados para vivir, como María, con el corazón que ya están en el cielo por la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, de modo que puedan estar un día de cielo y la gloria. Esta es la clave de la felicidad en esta vida: tener nuestros tesoros y corazones en la felicidad celestial que nunca se muere. Hemos sido llamados por Jesús para vivir como María, sufrir y mo-rir con él a fin de resucitar con Él. La forma más fácil y más accesi-ble para nosotros de mantener el corazón en el Cielo, y así lograr la verdadera felicidad, por la vida de oración que ejerce las virtudes teologales de la fe, la esperanza y la caridad. Esta es una de las razo-nes por las que el tiempo diario de oración es un deber de todos los cristianos. La oración diaria es normalmente necesario para la salva-ción. Es la manera en que yo guardo mi corazón encerrado en mi felicidad eterna para que no se aparta por el pecado de la buena senda. En mi oración diaria, medito en las cosas divinas y pido la ayuda que necesito para ser salvo. La oración, junto con los sacra-mentos, es el camino para mí para seguir a Jesús y María. El Santo Rosario es un camino más excelente para ejercer nuestro deber y privilegio de la oración. Si oro el Rosario con devota meditación sobre los misterios, he entrado en el Corazón Inmaculado de María, que "guardaba estas cosas en su corazón." De este modo, el Rosario es la mejor manera y más fácil para mí, para mantener mi corazón en el cielo, en la morada gloriosa del Corazón de María. Esta vez de la octava de la Asunción es una excelente oportunidad para compro-meternos con el rezo diario del Santo Rosario. Se podría, por ejem-plo, rezar cinco decenas del Rosario al levantarse, otros cinco déca-das en su hora de almuerzo o durante la siesta de la tarde para los niños, y luego otros cinco décadas con toda la familia al final del día. Que esto sea una especie de resolución de regreso a la escuela para todos nosotros. Si oramos de esta manera, con la dedicación y la atención y el amor, vamos a ser santos en muy poco tiempo! In-maculado Corazón de María, causa de nuestra alegría, ruega por nosotros !! Que Dios los bendiga a todos Padre José Previtali

WEDDINGS/ BODAS Couples planning to be married must contact a priest well in advance of the wedding date. They must also receive personal preparation for entering marriage. If either party has previously gone through any forma of civil or religious marriage with another person, the priest is not permitted to set a date for the wedding until the Archbishop office has been consulted. It should be noted that Catholics, in order to marry validly, must marry before the parish priest or his delegate and two wit-nesses. A civil marriage or a marriage before non-Catholic minister is not a val-id marriage. Couples in such “marriages” should contact a priest to have the situa-tion rectified.
