4 AN INVITATION FROM FATHER ARCOLEO (WITH HELP FROM THE ROMAN MISSAL) According to Pope Francis, Saints are not supermen and neither are they perfect. They lived normal lives marked by sadness and joy, hardships and hopes, before reaching the glory of Heaven. But when they witnessed God s love, they followed Him with all their heart, unconditionally and without hypocrisy; they dedicated their life to serving others, they bore suffering and adversities without hatred and responded to evil with good, spreading joy and peace. As we celebrate the lives of four more Saints this week, let us offer the following prayers taken from the Roman Missal: Saint John Marie Vianney (Feast Day: 4 August) Almighty and merciful God, Who made the Priest Saint John Marie Vianney wonderful in his pastoral zeal, grant, we pray, that through his intercession and example we may in charity win brothers and sisters for Christ Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen Saint Sixtus II (Feast Day: 7 August) By the power of the Holy Spirit, we pray, almighty God, make us docile in believing the faith and courageous in confessing it, just as you granted Saint Sixtus and his companions that they may lay down their lives for the sake of Your Word and in witness to Jesus. Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Saint Cajetan (Feast Day: 7 August) O God, Who endowed the Priest Saint Cajetan with the grace of imitating the apostolic way of life, grant us, through his example and intercession, to trust in you at all times and to seek unceasingly Your Kingdom. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Saint Dominic (Feast Day: 8 August) May Saint Dominic come to the help of Your Church by his merits and teaching, O Lord, and may he, who was an outstanding preacher of your truth, be a devoted intercessor on our behalf. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

5 NOW A WORD FROM OUR POPE (ABOUT THE FAMILY) POPE FRANCIS GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter s Square Wednesday, 25 March 2015 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning! Prayer for the Synod of Bishops on the Family In our series of catecheses on the family, today s is a special step: it will be a pause in prayer. Indeed, on 25 March in the Church we solemnly celebrate the Annunciation, the mystery of the Incarnation begins. The Archangel Gabriel visits a humble girl in Nazareth and proclaims to her that she will conceive and bear the Son of God. With this Annunciation the Lord illuminates and strengthens Mary s faith, as He will also do for her spouse Joseph, so that Jesus could be born into a human family. This is very beautiful: it shows us how deeply the mystery of the Incarnation, as God desired, encompasses not only conception in the mother s womb, but also acceptance in a real family. Today I would like to contemplate with you the beauty of this bond, the beauty of God s condescension; and we can do this by reciting the Hail Mary together, the first part of which takes up the words of the Angel, those he addressed to the Virgin. I invite you to pray together: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. And now a second aspect: on 25 March, the Solemnity of the Annunciation, in many countries the Day for Life is cel ebrated. That is why, 20 years ago, St John Paul II on this day signed the Encyclical Evangelium Vitae. In order to commemorate this anniversary there are many followers of the Pro-Life Movement present in the Square today. In Evangelium Vitae, the family occupies a central place, as it is the womb of human life. The word of my venerable Predecessor reminds us that a human couple was blessed from the beginning to form a community of love and life, entrusted with the mission to generate life. Christian spouses, celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage, make themselves open to honour this blessing, with the grace of Christ, for their whole lives. The Church, for her part, is solemnly committed to care for the family that is born, as a gift of God for her life, in good times and in bad: the bond between the Church and the family is sacred and inviolable. The Church, as a mother, never abandons the family, even when it is downhearted, wounded and humiliated in so many ways. Neither when it falls into sin nor moves away from

6 the Church; she will always do everything to try to care for and heal it, to call it to conversion and to reconcile it to the Lord. If this then is the task, it is clear how much prayer the Church needs in order to be able, in every age, to carry out this mission! Prayer full of love for the family and for life. Prayer that can rejoice with the rejoicing and suffer with the suffering. Here then is what I, together with my co-workers, have thought to offer today: renewal of prayer for the Synod of Bishops on the Family. We relaunch this commitment until this coming October, when the Ordinary Synodal Assembly dedicated to the family will take place. I would like this prayer, as the whole journey of the Synod, to be animated by the compassion of the Good Shepherd for his flock, especially for people and families who, for different reasons, are harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd (Mt 9:36). Thus, sustained and animated by the grace of God, the Church can be ever more committed, and ever more united, in the witness of the truth of the love of God and of his mercy for the world s families, none excluded, both within the fold and without. I ask you, please do not fail to pray. Everyone the pope, cardinals, bishops, priests, men and women religious, lay faithful we are all called to pray for the Synod. This is what is needed, not gossip! I also call to prayer those who feel distant or who are no longer used to it. This prayer for the Synod on the Family is for the good of everyone. I know that this morning you were given a holy card, which you are holding in your hands. I invite you to keep it and carry it with you, so that in the coming months you can recite it often, with holy persistence, as Jesus asked us to. Now let us recite it together: Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendour of true love, to you we turn with trust. Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches. Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience violence, rejection and division: May all who have been hurt or scandalized find ready comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod of Bishops make us more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God s plan. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. Amen. Looking for a Miracle? Well, so is Venerable Father Anthony Vincent Gallo Diocesan Priest, Oblate of the Congregation of the Priests of the Sacred Heart Montforte Irpino 11 January May 1934 For more information please visit:

Yet, the one important thing, the food that endures for eternal life (See John 6:24-35) is often neglected, especially during the summer months. They rather stay home or go to the beach, than come to Mass on Sunday as it is our obligation and great blessing. Why is this? Today s readings show very clearly that God is the Grand Provider. He provided for the Israelites of old and He provides for us today. What is more, in addition to our daily food, He provides heavenly bread, the bread that endures for eternal life. Do you really believe this? Do you have friends that stay home instead of coming to Mass every Sunday? Please, tell them what they are missing. God feeds us at Mass with the true bread from heaven. Invite them to come. Remind them that as Saint Paul says in Ephesians it is only when we are fed with the Eucharist, the true bread from Heaven that we can lay aside our way of life to be created anew in His image, in righteousness and holiness of truth.

17 A MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR WOULD YOU HELP "GIVE US A LIFT"? G O I N G U P? $20, $15, $11, $40, $30, $10, Shortly before Christmas 2014, Our Holy Redeemer's outdoor lift became inoperable. And while it could be repaired (again) at a cost of a few thousand dollars, I have decided, after going up and down that route a few times before, that Our Holy Redeemer has spent enough money on repairs and that it makes more (dollars and) sense to replace it an estimated cost (based on the figures of three proposals) of $40, In order to help offset that cost, the Parish has reached out to (and is waiting to hear from) Nassau County, the Village of Freeport, and private charitable organizations that grant funds for services that assist the elderly and disabled. Any assistance you can provide will literally give us a lift! The following people have begun to lift us up: Arnold Gallo, William Gallo, The Village of Freeport, the Friends of Angie Cullin, Alan and Cathy Richartz, John Anzovino, Margaret Nyland, Diana Gibson, Our Holy Redeemer Parishioners who participate in the Oceanside Christopher Federal Credit Union Parish Revenue Sharing Program, Mr. & Mrs. Walter Shorak, Gloria Di Brizzi, Gloria Cintorino, Barbara and Raymond Burkart, Carol Sparaco, Ann Kelly, Doreen and Donald Smith, Angela and Donald Valone, Joseph F.

19 UNA INVITACIÓN DEL PADRE ARCOLEO (CON LA AYUDA DEL MISAL ROMANO) La escuela está cerrada por el verano, pero eso no significa que cesamos de aprender. De hecho, las vacaciones veraniegas nos presentan una oportunidad maravillosa de aprender de los Santos que tan a menudo se valieron de esas oportunidades. A medida que continuamos esta semana celebrando la vida de cuatro Santos, ofrezcamos las siguientes oraciones tomadas del Misal Romano: SAN JUAN MARÍA Vianney (DÍA FESTIVO: 4 DE AGOSTO) Dios de poder y misericordia, que hiciste admirable a San Juan María Vianney por su celo pastoral, concédenos por su intercesión y su ejemplo, ganar para Cristo a nuestros hermanos y alcanzar, juntamente con ellos, los premios de la vida eterna Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo. SAN SIXTO II (DÍA FESTIVO: 7 DE Agosto) Dios todopoderoso, tú que has concedido al papa san Sixto y a sus compañeros, mártires, la gracia de morir por tu palabra y por el testimonio de Jesús, concédenos que el Espíritu Santo nos haga dóciles en la fe y fuertes para confesarla ante los hombres. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. SaN Cayetano (día festivo: 7 de agosto) Dios nuestro, que concediste a san Cayetano imitar el modo de vivir de los apóstoles, concédenos, por su intercesión y ejemplo, poner en ti nuestra confianza y buscar siempre el reino de los cielos. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Amén. Santo domingo (día festivo: 8 de agosto) Te pedimos, Señor, que santo Domingo de Guzmán, insigne predicador de tu palabra, ayude a tu Iglesia con sus enseñanzas y sus méritos, e interceda también con bondad por nosotros. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Amén.

20 AHORA UN MENSAJE DE NUESTRO PAPA (ACERCA DE LA FAMILIA) PAPA FRANCISCO AUDIENCIA GENERAL Plaza San Pedro Miércoles, 25 Marzo de 2015 Queridos hermanos y hermanas, buenos días! Oración por el Sínodo de Obispos sobre la Familia En nuestro camino de catequesis sobre la familia, hoy tenemos una etapa un poco especial: será una pausa de oración. El 25 de marzo en la Iglesia celebramos solemnemente la Anunciación, inicio del misterio de la Encarnación. El arcángel Gabriel visita a la humilde joven de Nazaret y le anuncia que concebirá y dará a luz al Hijo de Dios. Con este anuncio el Señor ilumina y fortalece la fe de María, como lo hará luego también con su esposo José, para que Jesús pueda nacer en una familia humana. Esto es muy hermoso: nos muestra en qué medida el misterio de la Encarnación, tal como Dios lo quiso, comprende no sólo la concepción en el seno de la madre, sino también la acogida en una familia auténtica. Hoy quisiera contemplar con vosotros la belleza de este vínculo, la belleza de esta condescendencia de Dios; y podemos hacerlo rezando juntos el Avemaría, que en la primera parte retoma precisamente las palabras del ángel, las que dirigió a la Virgen. Os invito a rezar juntos: «Dios te salve, María, llena eres de gracia, el Señor es contigo. Bendita Tú eres entre todas las mujeres, y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre, Jesús. Santa María, Madre de Dios, ruega por nosotros pecadores ahora y en la hora de nuestra muerte. Amén». Y ahora un segundo aspecto: el 25 de marzo, solemnidad de la Anunciación, en muchos países se celebra la Jornada por la vida. Por eso, hace veinte años, san Juan Pablo II en esta fecha firmó la encíclica Evangelium vitae. Para recordar este aniversario hoy están presentes en la plaza muchos simpatizantes del Movimiento por la vida. En la «Evangelium vitae» la

21 familia ocupa un sitio central, en cuanto que es el seno de la vida humana. La palabra de mi venerado predecesor nos recuerda que la pareja humana ha sido bendecida por Dios desde el principio para formar una comunidad de amor y de vida, a la que se le confía la misión de la procreación. Los esposos cristianos, al celebrar el sacramento del Matrimonio, se muestran disponibles para honrar esta bendición, con la gracia de Cristo, para toda la vida. La Iglesia, por su parte, se compromete solemnemente a ocuparse de la familia que nace en ella, como don de Dios para su vida misma, en las situaciones buenas y malas: el vínculo entre Iglesia y familia es sagrado e inviolable. La Iglesia, como madre, nunca abandona a la familia, incluso cuando está desanimada, herida y de muchos modos mortificada. Ni siquiera cuando cae en el pecado, o cuando se aleja de la Iglesia; siempre hará todo lo posible por tratar de atenderla y sanarla, invitarla a la conversión y reconciliarla con el Señor. Pues bien, si esta es la tarea, se ve claro cuánta oración necesita la Iglesia para ser capaz, en cada época, de llevar a cabo esta misión. Una oración llena de amor por la familia y por la vida. Una oración que sabe alegrarse con quien se alegra y sufrir con quien sufre. He aquí entonces lo que, juntamente con mis colaboradores, hemos pensado proponer hoy: renovar la oración por el Sínodo de los obispos sobre la familia. Relanzamos este compromiso hasta el próximo mes de octubre, cuando tendrá lugar la Asamblea sinodal ordinaria dedicada a la familia. Quisiera que esta oración, como todo el camino sinodal, esté animada por la compasión del buen Pastor por su rebaño, especialmente por las personas y las familias que por diversos motivos están «extenuadas y abandonadas, como ovejas que no tienen pastor» (Mt 9, 36). Así, sostenida y animada por la gracia de Dios, la Iglesia podrá estar aún más comprometida, y aún más unida, en el testimonio de la verdad del amor de Dios y de su misericordia por las familias del mundo, ninguna excluida, tanto dentro como fuera del redil. Os pido, por favor, que no falte vuestra oración. Todos Papa, cardenales, obispos, sacerdotes, religiosos y religiosas, fieles laicos, todos estamos llamados a rezar por el Sínodo. Esto es lo que se necesita, no de habladurías. Invito también a rezar a quienes se sienten alejados, o que ya no están acostumbrados a hacerlo. Esta oración por el Sínodo sobre la familia es para el bien de todos. Sé que esta mañana os han entregado una estampa, y que la tenéis entre las manos. Os invito a conservarla y llevarla con vosotros, para que en los próximos meses podáis rezarla con frecuencia, con santa insistencia, como nos lo pidió Jesús. Ahora la recitamos juntos: Jesús, María y José en vosotros contemplamos el esplendor del verdadero amor, a vosotros, confiados, nos dirigimos. Santa Familia de Nazaret, haz también de nuestras familias lugar de comunión y cenáculo de oración, auténticas escuelas del Evangelio y pequeñas Iglesias domésticas. Santa Familia de Nazaret, que nunca más haya en las familias episodios de violencia, de cerrazón y división; que quien haya sido herido o escandalizado sea pronto consolado y curado. Santa Familia de Nazaret, que el próximo Sínodo de los obispos haga tomar conciencia a todos del carácter sagrado e inviolable de la familia, de su belleza en el proyecto de Dios. Jesús, María y José, escuchad, acoged nuestra súplica. Amén.

22 El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo El comenzó a Enseñarles Muchas Cosas Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo 2588 Las múltiples expresiones de oración de los Salmos se hacen realidad viva tanto en la liturgia del templo como en el corazón del hombre. Tanto si se trata de un himno como de una oración de desamparo o de acción de gracias, de súplica individual o comunitaria, de canto real o de peregrinación, o de meditación sapiencial, los salmos son el espejo de las maravillas de Dios en la historia de su pueblo y en las situaciones humanas vividas por el salmista. Un salmo puede reflejar un acontecimiento pasado, pero es de una sobriedad tal que verdaderamente pueden orar con él los hombres de toda condición y de todo tiempo.

Desean muchas cosas y trabajan arduamente para obtenerlas. Sin embargo, lo único realmente importante, el alimento que dura para la vida eterna a menudo es menospreciado, especialmente durante los meses veraniegos. Prefieren quedarse en casa o ir a la playa que venir a la Misa el domingo como es nuestra obligación y gran bendición. Por qué? Las lecturas de hoy muestran claramente que Dios es el Gran Proveedor. El proveyó por los Israelitas de ayer y El provee para nosotros hoy. Lo que es más, además de nuestro alimento diario, El provee pan celestial, el alimento que dura para la vida eterna. De veras cree Usted esto? Tiene Usted amigos que se quedan en casa en vez de venir a la Misa todos los domingos? Por favor, dígales lo que se están perdiendo. Dios nos alimenta durante la Santa Misa con el verdadero pan del cielo. Invítelos a venir. Recuérdeles que como dijo San Pablo en Efesios es solo cuando somos alimentados con la Eucaristía, el verdadero pan del cielo que podemos abandonar nuestro antiguo modo de vivir para ser creados de nuevo en Su imagen, en justicia y santidad. Vea también Éxodo 16, 2-4, y Efesios 4:17, 20-24) LA VIRGEN MARÍA VISITA TU HOGAR Este grupo visita los hogares con la imagen de la Virgen de Fátima para rezar el Rosario con la familia tan a menudo como lo deseen.
