friends to encounter Christ through the liturgy and sacraments,

“Although change is part of the working of

complex systems, the speed with which human

activity has developed contrasts with the naturally

slow pace of biological evolution. Moreover, the

goals of this rapid and constant change are not

necessarily geared to the common good or to

integral and sustainable human development.

Change is something desirable, yet it becomes a

source of anxiety when it causes harm to the world

and to the quality of life of much of humanity.” (18)

- Pope Francis, Laudato Si’

LAUDATO SI’

ON CARE FOR OUR COMMON HOME

Choose one of the following activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings: Jesus is our living bread. For what

do you hunger? How can Jesus fill that hunger?

Talk about ways to nourish your family life. What food does your family need for the journey of life? Write down a nutrition plan for your family. A standard nutrition plan may include more fruits and vegetables. This alternative family plan may include more and better communication. Post the results somewhere so that everyone can see them and can follow the plan.

Go on a family picnic. Bring food and a Bible for nourishment. Read from the Gospel of John, 6:41-51. Talk about what nourishes your life.

Arrange to visit someone in your parish who is homebound and cannot attend the Eucharist. Perhaps an adult in the family can also bring the Eucharist to this person.

Catholic faith. This means that you and your children participate at Sunday Mass

and educate them about the Catholic faith. G.I.F.T. Program will begins in August.

Busy schedules or financial problems are no reason to skip catechesis this year.

Begin the primary catechist of your children is not an easy task these days. To help

support you in that work and to deepen your own faith life, we offer adult faith

formation sessions at the same time your children are in their class. These sessions

are meant to renew your faith and love for God.

ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK

G.I.F.T. REGISTRATION

Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : 1 Kings 19:4-8

The angel of the Lord came back to him.

Elijah, discouraged and fearing for his life, flees into the desert and prays

for death.

God's answer to his prayer echoes the Exodus and desert experience of

Israel.

Though he is discouraged and desperate when he flees into the desert, Elijah

is transformed by the bread and water sent from God.

Reading II : Ephesians 4:30-5:2

Live in love.

Today's passage describes the undeniable love that Christ has shown.

Paul reminds the Ephesians that they share in new life with God.

Christ gave his life for love of us; we must in turn show love to our

neighbor.

Gospel : John 6:41-51

No one can come to me unless my Father draws him or her.

Those who hear Jesus describe himself as “bread from heaven,” murmur

about Jesus being the Bread of Life.

This echoes Israel murmuring in the desert about food and water and

leadership. Jesus is the manna, the provision from God to quench spiritual

hunger; he is the Bread of Life.

The difference between manna and Jesus is that those who ate the manna

died, but those who eat the Bread of Life will live forever.

TODAY’S READINGS

7

Elija una de las siguientes actividades para seguir reflexionando sobre las lecturas del domingo: Jesús es nuestro pan vivo. ¿De qué tiene

hambre? ¿Cómo puede Jesús saciar esa hambre?

Hable acerca de las maneras de nutrir su vida familiar. ¿Qué alimento necesita su familia para el camino de la vida? Escriba un plan de nutrición para su familia. Un plan de nutrición común puede incluir más frutas y verduras. Este plan familiar alternativo puede incluir más y mejor comunicación. Pegue los resultados en algún lugar donde todos puedan verlos y seguir el plan.

Hagan un picnic familiar. Lleven alimentos y una Biblia para nutrirse. Lean el Evangelio según San Juan 6, 41-51. Hablen acerca de qué es lo que nutre sus vidas.

Organice una visita a algún miembro de su parroquia que no puede salir de su casa ni asistir a la Eucaristía. Tal vez un adulto de la familia pueda llevar la Eucaristía a esa persona.

FORMACION EN LA FE

La catequesis de niños, adolescentes y adultos comenzará en el mes de agosto.

Todos los padres de familia son requeridos

a participar en la reunión informativa del programa de GIFT (catequesis).

Habrá dos reuniones, pero solamente debe asistir a una de las siguientes fechas:

Sábado, 8 de agosto 2:oo-3:00 p.m.

Domingo, 9 de agosto 10:15 a.m-11:15 a.m.

Ambas reuniones serán en la cafetería de la escuela de IHM.

Si aún no han registrado a sus hijos, les informamos que las clases ya se están

llenando.

Llamen a Alicia Guerrero para confirmar su asistencia al 404.636.1418 x 227.

ACTIVIDAD DE LA SEMANA

Cuando bautizaron a sus hijos ustedes prometieron que los educarían en la fe católica. Esto significa que ustedes y sus hijos participan en la Santa Misa y

que les enseñen acerca de su fe católica. El programa de G.I.F.T. comienza en

agosto. Su vida ocupada o problemas financieros no son obstáculos para no participar en la catequesis de este año.

Ser los primeros catequistas de sus hijos no es una tarea fácil en estos días. Para ayudarles con esta tarea y para que profundicen en su propia vida de fe,

le ofrecemos sesiones de formación en la fe para adultos al mismo tiempo en que sus hijos están en clase. Estas sesiones tienen como propósito renovar su

fe y su amor por Dios.

Formulario de registración: Las formas están disponibles en la iglesia, en la

oficina parroquial o en el sitio: www.ihmatlanta.org/creciendo-juntos-en-fe-gift. Deben tener manera de imprimir las formas y entregarlas en la oficina

con su pago. ¡Estamos aceptando pagos con tarjeta de crédito!

ANOTEN EN SUS CALENDARIOS: LA CATEQUESIS

COMIENZA EL FIN DE SEMANA DEL 15 Y 16 DE AGOSTO.

REGISTRACIONES DE G.I.F.T.

Decimonoveno domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

Primera Lectura: Reyes 19, 4-8 Por segunda vez el ángel de Yavé se le acercó.

Elías, desalentado y temiendo por su vida, huye al desierto y ora pidiendo

la muerte.

La respuesta de Dios a su oración nos recuerda el Éxodo y la experiencia

en el desierto de Israel.

Aunque está desalentado y desesperado cuando huye al desierto, Elías es

transformado por el pan y el agua que Dios le envía.

Segunda Lectura: Efesios 4, 30; 5, 2 Sigan el camino del amor.

El pasaje de hoy describe el innegable amor que Cristo ha demostrado.

Pablo recuerda a los Efesios que comparten una nueva vida con Dios.

Cristo dio su vida por amor a nosotros; nosotros, a su vez, debemos

mostrar amor por el prójimo.

Evangelio: Juan 6, 44-51

Nadie puede venir a mí si no lo atrae el Padre que me envió.

Los que escuchan a Jesús describirse a sí mismo como el “pan vivo que ha

bajado del cielo,” critican a Jesús por llamarse el “pan de vida.”

Esto recuerda a Israel quejándose en el desierto por el alimento, el agua y

el liderazgo.

La diferencia entre el maná y Jesús es que los que comieron el maná

murieron, pero los que comen el pan de vida viven para siempre.

STEWARDSHIP

SPACE FOR ADS

PRAYER Prayer is the cornerstone of stewardship. Only when we spend time with God in prayer are we

spiritually prepared to offer ourselves in service to others. Just as we schedule the other important

parts of daily life, we need to make a conscious effort to make time for prayer.

ANNUAL APPEAL 2015

“All This I Do For the Sake of the Gospel”

We have reached our goal in pledges for the 2015 Archbishop’s Annual

Appeal! But we really should be achieving TWICE our goal each year,

since AAA funds received over and above our goal return to us at IHM

without any Archdiocesan assessment! Our gifts help the charitable

works of the Archdiocese AND they help our parish. If you have not

already made a pledge to the 2015 AAA, please visit

http://appeal.archatl.com to make your pledge today!

Thank you to all who have already pledged! Remember to look for

your monthly pledge reminders, and please do your best to honor your

pledge before the end of the year. If you are having any

difficulty whatsoever with your pledge or pledge reminders, please

contact Richard Plachta at rplachta@ihmatlanta.org or 404-636-1418,

ext. 245.

Deo Gratias! We are grateful to all of our parishioners who have remembered this parish in their wills or estate

plans. Did you know that persons who have made a planned gift for our parish automatically receive membership

in the Deo Gratias Society of the Catholic Foundations of North Georgia? Among other benefits, this member-

ship includes an invitation to the annual Deo Gratias Society Mass and luncheon with Archbishop Gregory in

September. If you have already included our parish in your will or estate plans, but have not informed the parish

office, please let us know so we can coordinate your invitation to the September event—or call The Catholic

Foundation directly at 404-497-9440.
