Transcripción

1 August 12, 2012 Nineteenth Sunday in ordinary time Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary On Wednesday, August 15, we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed (taken up) body and soul into heavenly glory. She was exalted by the Lord as Queen of Heaven and Earth, and in this Assumption Mary was the first to experience the bodily Resurrection that is promised to all who believe in Christ. Our Mary altar (pictured right) depicts Mary, above the clouds, with arm raised, being taken up into heaven Peachtree Road, NE Atlanta, Georgia WHAT S INSIDE: Around the Parish Page 2 New Parishioners Page 3 Confirmation Meeting Page 4 Nursery Position Open Page 5 CTK Youth Choirs Page 6 Upcoming CHRP Retreats Page 9 Hispanic Pages Pages We have no real knowledge of the day, year, and manner of Our Lady's death. The dates which have been assigned to her death vary between three and fifteen years after Jesus Ascension. For hundreds of years, Catholics observed the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary -- but it was not until 1950 that the Church proclaimed this teaching a dogma of the Church -- one of the essential beliefs of the Catholic faith. Dear Parishioners, We are saddened to say goodbye to two of our clergy staff who have departed from CTK. Deacon Paul Root has returned to his hometown of Lexington, Kentucky where he will be an instructor at the law enforcement training academy for Kentucky and assigned to the Cathedral of Christ the King for his deaconate. Our seminarian Valery Akoh has been accepted for the Archdiocese and is preparing to make a new home in Chicago. I want to personally thank Deacon Paul and Valery for what they have done for our Christ the King parish family. I wish them God s blessings and I know that they will be missed. Yours in Christ, Fr. Frank McNamee Pastor Continued on Page 7

Stewardship of Treasure How shall I repay the Lord for his goodness to me? Psalm 116 In today s First Reading, God provides a weary and distressed prophet Elijah with physical food and drink to sustain him on his pilgrimage to Mt. Horeb. In St. John s Gospel, Jesus proclaims He is the spiritual Bread of Life. Those who eat this bread will not die, but live forever. As we partake of the Lord s consecrated Body and Blood, we become one in discipleship with Him. St. Paul teaches us to follow the way of love through Christ. On our journey to eternal life, our Lord gives us grace to live good Christian lives by making stewardship a way of life.

Los niños de tres años que van a ser presentados deben estar bautizados. El pan que da vida El relato de la vida de Elías en el libro de Reyes es uno de los más destacados del antiguo testamento: es una parábola de vida cristiana. Hoy leemos sobre el descorazonamiento de Elías; tiene un enorme trabajo frente a él, y no es mejor que otras personas. Pero Dios los empuja hacia adelante, le da pan para comer, y lo llena de energía. En este episodio, también, vemos un anuncio de la Eucaristía. No hagas nada que entristezca al Espíritu Santo, escribe San Pablo en la segunda lectura. Qué puede entristecer al Espíritu Santo? No es el llevar una vida gravemente pecadora: en ese caso nosotros expulsamos: al Espíritu Santo de nuestras vidas. Entristecemos al Espíritu cuando no le ponemos atención a nuestros pequeños pecados y defectos. No tratamos de ser mejores, cuando pasamos por alto Sus inspiraciones, dentro de nuestros corazones, de hacer un bien por Dios o por los demás. Este Evangelio es la continuación del último domingo. Jesús sigue adelante con su discurso sobre la necesidad de buscar vida espiritual y eterna. Una vida que se encuentra en El mismo. Sigamos Sus enseñanzas paso a paso: Primero. La gente, que ha seguido a Jesús hasta ahora más por interés propio que por fe, lo empieza a criticar. No están listos para creer y seguir Sus palabras, cuando les reprocha su prudencia humana y sus ideas preconcebidas. Esto no es extraño a nuestra propia experiencia: nosotros tendemos también a elegir lo que nos gustaría o no nos gustaría creer. Segundo: Aprendemos, una vez más, que la fe en Jesús es un regalo de Dios: Nadie puede venir a mi si mi Padre que me envió no lo atrae. Esto es aplicable a todos los que somos llamados a creer como cristianos. Particularmente, de acuerdo a este Evangelio, en el misterio Eucarístico. Tercero. Jesús declara explícitamente que El es el pan de vida, el de la vida eterna, enviado por Dios desde el cielo. Esto tiene dos significados: si comemos de este pan (el cuerpo de Cristo, la Eucaristía), nuestra alma tendrá vida: creceremos en fe, esperanza, amor a Dios; amor, justicia y solidaridad con los demás. El segundo significado: si comemos el cuerpo de Cristo, no moriremos para siempre; viviremos para siempre después de la muerte. La Eucaristía es la vida del mundo en estos dos sentidos. CERTIFICACIÓN DE CATEQUISTAS Comenzamos al Certificación de Catequistas el sábado 28 de Julio, de 12 a 4 pm. La preparación será hasta el sábado 15 de Septiembre. Para mayor información por favor comunicarse con la Sra. María Goretti al CATEQUESIS Ya estamos registrando a los niños y jóvenes para la catequesis que comienza en Septiembre.

11 NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 12, 2012 ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LOS BIENES DE DIOS En la primera lectura de hoy, Dios le da alimento y bebida al profeta Elías, que estaba cansado y afligido, para sostenerlo en su peregrinaje al monte Horeb. En el Evangelio de San Juan, Jesús proclama que El es el Pan de Vida. Quienes coman de ese pan no morirán y vivirán para siempre. Cuando recibimos el Cuerpo y la Sangre del Señor, nos convertimos en uno en discipulado con El. San Pablo nos enseña a seguir el camino del amor a través de Cristo. En nuestro peregrinaje hacia la vida eterna, el Señor nos da la gracia de vivir como buenos Cristianos haciendo de la administración de los bienes del Señor nuestro estilo de vida. Catedral: $1,325 Lindbergh: $416 ASUNCIÓN DE LA VIRGEN MARÍA El miércoles 15 de Agosto celebramos la Asunción de la Virgen María. La Inmaculada Madre de Dios, la siempre Virgen María, habiendo completado su tiempo de vida terrenal, fue asunta (llevada) en cuerpo y alma a la Gloria celestial. Fue exaltada por el Señor como Reina del Cielo y la Tierra, y con la Asunción, María fue la primera en experimentar la Resurrección corporal que es prometida a todos los que creemos en Cristo. Nuestro altar de la Virgen María, cuya fotografía acompaña esta nota, tiene la imagen de María, sobre las nubes, con los brazos levantados, mientras es llevada al cielo. No tenemos conocimiento real del día, año o manera de la muerte de Nuestra Señora. Las fechas que han sido asignadas a su muerte varían entre tres y quince años luego de la Ascensión de Jesús. Por cientos de años, los Católicos observamos la solemnidad de la Asunción de la Siempre Virgen María, pero no fue hasta 1950 que la Iglesia proclamó esta enseñanza como un Dogma de la Iglesia, una de las creencias esenciales de la fe Católica. En reconocimiento de la Asunción de la Siempre Virgen María y de nuestro 75 Aniversario, la imagen de la Virgen María que se encuentra normalmente en la Capilla D Youville será exhibida en la Catedral el 15 de Agosto. Esta imagen de la Virgen María data de El área donde se encuentra la capilla, que forma actualmente parte de la escuela, fue originalmente el convento de las Religiosas del Sagrado Corazón quienes estuvieron a cargo de la escuela y fueron pieza fundamental de la misma. La Asunción de la Virgen María es una fiesta de precepto y por lo tanto debemos participar de la Santa Misa. Por ello, el 15 de Agosto, tendremos Misa en español a las 8:10 pm en la Catedral. ADORACIÓN AL SANTISIMO SACRAMENTO Se necesitan voluntarios para adoración al Santísimo Sacramento.
