4 Father Matthew Buettner, Pastor 10 June 2018 Dear Parish Family, On July 10, Fr. Christian and I will be reporting to new pastoral assignments. Bishop Jugis has appointed Fr. Christian as Pastor of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Tryon a beautiful town located 90 minutes west of Gastonia in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. He will continue his work as a professor and the Academic Dean of St. Joseph College Seminary. Due to the grace of God and your prayers, St. Joseph College Seminary continues to grow, from 16 to 22 seminarians for the upcoming academic year. Consequently, Bishop Jugis has appointed me full time Spiritual Director of the seminary. On July 10, Fr. Lucas Rossi will discontinue his current assignment as Parochial Vicar of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Salisbury to become Pastor of St. Michael Catholic Church. Change is difficult and demanding. However, I am confident that Fr. Rossi will continue the good work that has begun at St. Michael s through the leadership of the priests and the faithful alike who have served so generously. St. Michael s will benefit greatly from Fr. Rossi s gifts, including his enthusiasm, joy, and commitment to his pastoral charge. It has been a privilege and a delight to serve the Lord and our parish and school family for the past five years. On behalf of Fr. Christian, thank you for your ardent prayers, your inspiring response to the grace of God, your spiritual support, and above all, your generous love, which was expressed at times in the form of bottles of red wine. May God continue to bestow His abundant grace and mercy upon our parish family. Be assured of my love and prayers and please continue to pray for us. Sincerely in Christ, 708 St. Michael s Lane Gastonia, North Carolina Telephone Fax frbuettner@gmail.com

9 Un Reino no Puede Estar Dividido Marcos 3: Del santo Evangelio según san Marcos 3, Los escribas que habían bajado de Jerusalén decían: «Está poseído por Beelzebul» y «por el príncipe de los demonios expulsa los demonios». El, llamándoles junto a sí, les decía en parábolas: «Cómo puede Satanás expulsar a Satanás? Si un reino está dividido contra sí mismo, ese reino no puede subsistir. Si una casa está dividida contra sí misma, esa casa no podrá subsistir. Y si Satanás se ha alzado contra sí mismo y está dividido, no puede subsistir, pues ha llegado su fin. Pero nadie puede entrar en la casa del fuerte y saquear su ajuar, si no ata primero al fuerte; entonces podrá saquear su casa. Yo os aseguro que se perdonará todo a los hijos de los hombres, los pecados y las blasfemias, por muchas que éstas sean. Pero el que blasfeme contra el Espíritu Santo, no tendrá perdón nunca, antes bien, será reo de pecado eterno». Es que decían: «Está poseído por un espíritu inmundo». Oración introductoria Gracias, Padre mío, por recordarme la importancia de la unidad. Tú conoces mis limitaciones y mis miserias y sabes cuánto falta me hace tu gracia para crecer en el amor y ser factor de unidad en todas mis relaciones familiares y sociales. Concédeme tu luz en esta oración para que sea la caridad la que me mueva siempre a buscar la unión contigo y con los demás. Petición Jesús, ayúdame a conocer, vivir y transmitir tu amor. Meditación del Papa Benedicto XVI La búsqueda del restablecimiento de la unidad entre los cristianos divididos no puede reducirse por tanto a un reconocimiento de las diferencias recíprocas y a la consecución de una convivencia pacífica: lo que anhelamos es esa unidad por la que Cristo mismo rezó y que por su naturaleza se manifiesta en la comunión de la fe, de los sacramentos, del ministerio. El camino hacia esta unidad debe ser advertido como imperativo moral, respuesta a una llamada precisa del Señor. Por esto es necesario vencer la tentación de la resignación y del pesimismo, que es falta de confianza en el poder del Espíritu Santo. Nuestro deber es proseguir con pasión el camino hacia esta meta con un diálogo serio y riguroso para profundizar en el común patrimonio teológico, litúrgico y espiritual; con el conocimiento recíproco; con la formación ecuménica de las nuevas generaciones y, sobre todo, con la conversión del corazón y con la oración. (Benedicto XVI, 25 de enero de 2011). He visto esta división en muchos lugares. Veamos un partido de fútbol: si el portero hace lo que le da la gana, no ganarán; si los delanteros van por su lado, la defensa está cansada y el director técnico está enojado con todos, ese equipo es un verdadero desastre. Pasa lo mismo en la vida interior. El hombre que está continuamente dividido, pensando en sí mismo, diciendo una cosa y haciendo otra, es un verdadero desastre. No se puede vivir feliz así. La felicidad en la vida se encuentra en Jesucristo, y en hacer siempre aquello que él quiere de cada uno de nosotros. Por lo tanto hay que ser hombres de una sola pieza para no destruirnos al igual que el reino dividido. Propósito Reconciliar a todos los cristianos en la unidad de una sola y única Iglesia de Cristo, supera las fuerzas y las capacidades humanas, por eso hoy haré una oración por la unidad. Diálogo con Cristo Una iglesia dividida, como cualquier familia, no puede subsistir. La persona misma, dividida interiormente, tampoco puede subsistir. El pecado, particularmente aquel que hiere la caridad, causa división. Los primeros cristianos me dan ejemplo clarísimo de cómo vivir la unidad. Ellos superaron las barreras sociales, económicas y culturales. Rezaban por los demás y se animaban unos a otros a perseverar en la fe en Jesucristo. Ayúdame, Señor, a vivir así la caridad, no permitas que hiera nunca la unidad. Que todas mis palabras y acciones sean para construir la caridad. Reflexión "Un reino dividido no puede subsistir" Si una persona está haciendo dos cosas está dividida. Esto porque si se tienen dos pensamientos y se desea concluir cada uno al mismo tiempo se crearía un problema serio.
