RACIÓN Y HUMILDAD Ármate con oración en lugar de espada; vístete con humildad en lugar de ropa fina. —Santo Domingo de Guzmán Hijos míos, la fe, la esperanza y la cari-dad, las tres, encierran toda la felicidad de la humanidad en la tierra. —San Juan María Vianney AND HUMILITY Arm yourself with prayer rather than a sword; wear humility rather than fine clothes. —St. Dominic THIRST You have put salt in our mouths that we may thirst for you. —St. Augustine

2 de agosto de 2020 Decimoctavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario NUESTRAS NECESIDADES MÁS PROFUNDAS La Palabra de Dios nos brinda hoy una tremenda fiesta. Isaías llama a todos los que tienen hambre y sed para que vengan a satisfacerse en el Señor. El salmista proclama: “Abres tú la mano, y sacias de favores a todo viviente” (Salmo 145:16). San Pablo nos dice que nada puede sepa-rarnos del amor de Dios. Finalmente, en el Evangelio, escuchamos sobre el milagro de la multiplicación de los cinco panes y dos pescados con que se alimentaron a más de cinco mil personas. Nuestras necesidades diarias suelen estar cubiertas. Sin embargo, estas lecturas tienen mucho que decir al creyente contemporáneo. Debemos preguntarnos: “¿Dónde está mi hambre más profunda? ¿De qué estoy sediento?”. Una vez satis-fechas las necesidades materiales y, en algunos casos, más que satisfe-chas, mucha gente sigue ansiando tener equilibrio y bienestar espiritual. Al multiplicarse los panes y pescados en el Evangelio de hoy, tal vez nuestra oración es anhelar que nuestras necesidades más hondas sean satisfechas por el único que puede hacerlo: Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — A ver ustedes, que andan con sed, ¡vengan a to-mar agua! (Isaías 55:1-3). Salmo — La mano del Señor nos alimenta; responde a todas nuestras necesidades (Salmo 145 [144]). Segunda lectura — Nada podrá apartarnos del amor de Dios que encontramos en Cristo Jesús (Romanos 8:35, 37-39). Evangelio — Todos comieron hasta saciarse (Mateo 14:13-21).

August 2, 2020--- Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time OUR DEEPEST NEEDS The word of God serves up a tremendous feast for us today. Isai-ah beckons all who hunger and thirst to come to the Lord for satisfac-tion. The psalmist cries out, “The hand of the Lord feeds us; he an-swers all our needs” (Psalm 145:16). Saint Paul tells us that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Finally, in the Gospel, we hear the story of the miraculous feeding of over five thousand people from a mere five loaves and two fish. Most of us have our material needs met on a day-to-day basis. These scriptures, nevertheless, have much to say to the contemporary believer. We must ask ourselves, “Where are my deepest hungers? Where are my thirsts?” After material needs are satisfied and, in some cases, over-satisfied, many people still expe-rience a deep longing for spiritual balance and well-being. As the loaves and fish are multiplied in today’s Gospel, perhaps our prayer can be a longing for the satisfaction of the deepest needs that only God can fill. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — All you who thirst, come to the water! You without money, come to the feast! (Isaiah 55:1-3). Psalm — The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs (Psalm 145). Second Reading — Nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ (Romans 8:35, 37-39). Gospel — All ate until satisfied; they collected twelve baskets of what was left over (Matthew 14:13-21).

August 2, 2020 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

From Pastors Desk

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Recently I came across an online article about a man who takes the drawings of children and uses photoshop to bring them to life. This pursuit has led to the depiction of horses and other animals looking absurd compared to their real-life counterparts, although many of these creations are also cute in their absurdity. It is one of the joys of those with chil-dren to display their artistic renderings on refrigerators, and a great aide to the rest of us when an accompanying title has been written on the page (i.e.: ‘Elephant’). This is one of the ways in which children come to understand their world, by interpreting it as they see it, with the talents that they have available to them. A four-year-old views and de-picts trees with large trunks and small tops, because that is the view they have from down low, only when we elevate them, give them new perspectives, and pass on skills and knowledge that we have do they come to see the world differ-ently. As adults, we come have a pretty good grip on the world. We tend to know the things we need to know to get us by day to day, and sometimes we pick up other bits of information that may or may not come in handy, as well as different hobbies that keep us entertained and our bodies and minds occupied. My own love of the arts, whether the performing arts, such as music and theatre, and the plastic arts, such as painting and sculpture, gives me great joy. Not that I can participate in these endeavors. My own artistic talents are limited, while attempting to learn the tin whistle I lost two roommates, and the only way I could paint a landscape is with a paint by numbers kit. But there is something about art that elevates the spirit, and even though it is not necessary for survival, I do not think I would survive without the artis-tic expressions of others in my life. Msgr. Luigi Giussani, in his book The Religious Sense gives a great understanding of the role of art in our lives: “In every civilization, art always originates in connection with a desire to see God, because art is "the unnecessary" and if man were defined only by his relationship with appearances, there would be no expression more foolish than art. But on the contrary, man is defined by his search of what lies beyond the sign, and here enters the artistic expression: man is relationship with the infinite through art, the high road of beauty.” Art serves so many purposes in my life and the lives of others, from the immediacy of lifting my gaze to another place, possibly even to evoking those feelings that can be described as worshiping God or coming to understand Him more deeply in my life. It can also be a challenge to my complacency with life, forcing me to look at my experiences from another point of view, much like a child comes to understand a tree better through various vantage points. There are those who try to use art as a means of disruption or even destruction; for the former, I can appreciate the effects of art to communicate something that needs to be said, even if it is said in a manner that disturbs the viewer. When art be-comes destructive, when it is weaponized for the sole purpose of death and destruction, even for the purpose of oppres-sion, it needs to be confronted, challenged. As with the given understanding of art versus pornography, we search for the intention behind the creation, so it is with other forms of art. Yet even at these times, we can come to understand the world which other people see through their art. Whatever our preference for art, it should allow us to go beyond ourselves, to focus on something other than our every-day lives, while giving expression and meaning to our lives and activities. At its best, art should elevate us to the Great-est of Artists, to the One who created everything out of His passion for creating. Pax, Fr. Henry

So we may better communicate with you and your household we ask you to fill out the form so we may en-ter it into our new media. No one except OLMC Church will receive the information.

Diocese of Rockville Centre announces Morning Star Initiative

As you may have heard, the Diocese of Rockville Centre has decided to launch a bold plan, called the Morn-ing Star Initiative, to revitalize Catholic elementary school education on Long Island. The goal of this initia-tive is to restore a robust Catholic culture to the DRVC schools, improve academics, and create a more fis-cally sustainable model for schools. The Diocese will partner with the Marianists, who have two centuries of Catholic educational commitment and expertise. The Diocese has asked Brother Thomas Cleary, S.M., President of Chaminade High School, to serve as the Chief Revitalization Officer and to spearhead this ef-fort. He will be assisted by his fellow Marianists, who will seek feedback and ideas from the full spectrum of those with a stake in a revitalized Catholic elementary education, including our parishioners. We value your input, so please share your thoughts. Please visit the Diocese of Rockville Centre’s website at Morningsta-rinitiative.org .

2020 The Year of Laudato Si’, Care of --Our Common Home How do you care for our common home?

“In the encyclical Laudato Si,, Pope Francis observed that “the ecological crisis is also a summons to profound interior conver-sion.” where “living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue, it is not an optional or secondary aspect of our Christian experience ”(no 217). On occasion of the fifth anniversary of the encyclical, the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development has announced a year of celebration to encourage the faithful to embrace it’s message on the care of our common home. The Catholic Church throughout the United States has joyfully received and implemented the invitation of Laudato Si’ in diverse and creative ways..” Excerpt from USCCB.org Check In at FORMED for new releases on Our Common Home. There will be links to discussion questions for journaling and/or discussions with family and friends. This will be on our Facebook page each week along with articles, and thought’s. Five years ago Pope Francis formed the Global Catholic Climate Network to see to the implementation of Laudato Si’, GCCM trains, teaches and holds weekly worldwide prayer sessions. They protest, train, enable and listen to the cry’s of the poorest in our home. first to aid and educate then to make everyone aware and how we can help. It is Catholic Social Justice teachings brought into digestible pieces for you. Have some ideas please write then on our Facebook page to start a discussion. If enough of you comment we will create a new page. You may explain how you do your part or send in pictures. We have only one planet and most would like it to be beautiful for our future generations. So what can we do?
