PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3

Jesus gives us a firm statement about himself: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world” The Eucharist transforms those who receive Communion. To participate actively in the Mass, we need to resist a tendency to passivity when gather in an audience-like setting. At Mass, we are an assembly of believers called to be a community joined in the praise and worship of God. We do this in singing of hymns, psalms, recitation of prayers and respons-es, especially in our “Yes” to God in the great Amen. Active participation also requires an inte-rior attention and a profound inner offering, as St. Paul urges in Romans 12: 1: “I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship.” When the assembly of the faithful, from the hands of the priest, offers the sacrifice of Christ to the Father, the members of the assembly are called to offer their bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, in using the word body, St. Paul does not mean simply our flesh and bones, but rather our very selves. This, then, is a spiritual sacrifice. How can we do this? In the Eucharistic Prayer, we hear that Jesus took the bread, blessed it, broke it, made it his Body, and gave it for our salvation. One way of identifying with this is to pray, “Lord, take me, bless me. Break me. Make me a part of you saving, sacrificial gift for the world’s bodily and spiritual needs.” Having of-fered ourselves to the Father in union with Christ, we practice active participation in the Mass in its highest form. When we receive Communion, we need to remember that we are not changing Christ into ourselves, Jesus is trans-forming us into himself. This requires a proper understanding of the Real Presence of Jesus under the appearance of bread and wine. It is not simply a symbol that merely points to Jesus. Nor is Christ’s presence just a projection on our part in the sense that we make him present when we receive him. As Pope Benedict XVI told the young people gather for the Twentieth World youth Day: “The Body and Blood of Christ are given to us so that we ourselves will be trans-formed in our turn. We are to become the Body of Christ, his own Flesh and Blood. We all eat the one bread, and this means that we ourselves become one…He is within us, and we are in him.”

Seminarians: The seminarians are back again for the new school year. Our annual camping trip will take place in Colorado from this Sunday until August 23rd. Please pray for us.

Food For The Poor: Next weekend of August 15, Rev. Geoffrey Wirth will speak at all the Masses about a minis-try providing direct relief to the poor through Latin American and the Caribbean. Fr. Wirth will share personal wit-ness about Food For The Poor’s mission to care for the destitute as a means of living out the Gospel mandate to love one another. Fr. Wirth was ordained in 1967 for the Diocese of Rockford. Before joining Food For The Poor to preach on behalf of those we serve, he served in the missions in Guatemala teaching in the Seminary and as a Pastor in his Diocese. Please join me in welcoming Fr. Wirth.

2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal: As you can see in page 6 the bar chart of Catholic Ministries Appeal has in-crease. Thank you for participating in this important campaign of the Diocese and please those who do not participat-ed yet, please consider doing this. Your contribution will help the ministry of our Bishop. Blessings.

PHÚC ÂM: Ga 6, 41-52 (Hl 41-51) "Ta là bánh hằng sống bởi trời mà xuống". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan. Khi ấy, những người Do-thái kêu trách Chúa Giêsu, vì Người đã phán rằng: "Ta là bánh hằng sống bởi trời mà xuống". Họ nói: "Chớ thì ông này chẳng phải là Giêsu, con ông Giuse sao? Chúng ta đều biết rõ cha mẹ của ông. Vậy làm sao ông lại nói: 'Ta bởi trời mà xuống'". Chúa Giêsu trả lời cùng họ rằng: "Các ngươi chớ thì thầm với nhau. Không ai đến được với Ta nếu Cha, là Đấng sai Ta, không lôi kéo kẻ ấy, và Ta, Ta sẽ cho họ sống lại trong ngày sau hết. Trong sách các tiên tri có chép rằng: 'Mọi người sẽ được Thiên Chúa dạy bảo'. Ai nghe lời giáo hoá của Cha, thì đến với Ta. Không một ai đã xem thấy Cha, trừ Đấng bởi Thiên Chúa mà ra, Đấng ấy đã thấy Cha. Thật, Ta bảo thật các ngươi: Ai tin vào Ta thì có sự sống đời đời. "Ta là bánh ban sự sống. Cha ông các ngươi đã ăn manna trong sa mạc và đã chết. Đây là bánh bởi trời xuống, để ai ăn bánh này thì khỏi chết. Ta là bánh hằng sống từ trời xuống. Ai ăn bánh này, sẽ sống đời đời. Và bánh Ta sẽ ban, chính là thịt Ta, để cho thế gian được sống". Đó là lời Chúa.

Pastoral Council New Members

If you would like to take part of the pastoral Council of our parish, please call to the office. Our meetings are the 4th Thursday of each month. You have to be a

register member of the SSPP. "A parish is a definite community of the Chris-tian faithful established on a stable basis within a par-ticular church; the pastoral care of the parish is en-trusted to a pastor as its own shepherd under the au-thority of the diocesan bishop" (Canon 515). Clergy, religious and laity together form a par-ish, a portion of God's People whose pastoral care is entrusted to a pastor so that all can continue the mission of Jesus here on earth. The People of God have differ-ent gifts, roles and responsibilities, yet all are under one head, Christ Jesus – sisters and brothers in Him.

XIX DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 9 DE AGOSTO 2015

EL COMIENZO DE TODO Todo el mundo reconoce la verdad de los buenos proverbios, y por eso perduran de generación en genera-ción. Los rusos tienen uno sorprendentemente audaz que le pega al Evangelio de este domingo: “El pan es el co-mienzo de todo”. De acuerdo a la primera lectura, puede ser que Elías sintiera que era demasiado tarde para ser pan –demasiado tarde para la vida misma. Este gran profeta estaba ya al final de sus fuerzas y de su aguante. Enton-ces no uno, sino dos ángeles lo visitan. Uno le ofrece comida y bebida. El otro le da unas sorprendentes ins-trucciones. Para Elías esta comida de los ángeles es pan para su camino. Fortalecido por este regalo celestial de comida, él sigue su camino a la montaña de Dios. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús se ofrece a sí mismo, no sólo como pan para el camino, sino como pan para la vida misma. Él da su carne para dar vida al mundo. “Yo soy el pan de vida” (Juan 6:48). Él es el comienzo de to-do. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
