Living God’s Word
The Eucharist has been called the “bread of angels” (Psalm 78:25). It is a free gift from
God. It is offered to give us eternal life because through it we receive the life of Christ, “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32). Jesus promised that those who believe and eat it will hunger and thirst for nothing
throughout all eternity. Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

R.C.I.A.
Adults Catholics who have not received their First Communion
or Confirmation, as well as members of other religions or no
religion seeking to become a Catholic, are invited to contact
the rectory to begin the process of inquiry. Please leave your
name and phone number, indicating whether you would prefer
the sessions of formation in English or in Spanish, and one of
our deacons will be in touch with you. The Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults (El Rito de la Iniciación Cristiana para los
Adultos) has its sessions on Sunday mornings in the Parish
Life Center.
CARNIVAL NOTICE
We continue to monitor our necessary planning for our
Parish Carnival, scheduled for September 21-25. We
hope that we will still be able to enjoy the traditional
rides and games, while providing a more limited menu
of foods that are easily eaten and carried by hand. We
will be asking for your help as we get closer, either in
donations of items or volunteering in a booth.
A Warm Welcome to Our New Deacon Airán Negrín!
¡Una cálida bienvenida a nuestro nuevo Diácono
Airán Negrín!
In union with CDC and State guidelines, we STRONGLY
RECOMMEND that EVERYONE WEAR A MASK when coming for Mass or other
more crowded gatherings indoors, as everyone’s vaccine status is not known and the
Delta variant of the Covid virus seems to be increasing. This includes when coming forward for Communion.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners, Next weekend, you are invited to stand with Africa by supporting the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. Through this special second collection, Catholics in the United States help the Church share the Gospel through evangelization, catechesis, formation of priests and religious sisters, and mass media, while also working to build peace and reconciliation between neighbors. Your support helps the young and growing Church minister to the ongoing pastoral needs of the faithful throughout Africa.
On the following weekend (Aug. 14-15), you will also be asked, through the Missionary Cooperation Plan of the Archdiocese, to support the AMEN Foundation. This Catholic Organization, founded in 1990, strives to promote, support, and strengthen Catholic religious vocations and ministries, enabling a sharing of ministry personnel and resources between several American dioceses with the churches in many African countries as well. We will share more about their specific efforts in next week’s bulletin.
Msgr. Richard Arnhols, Pastor
Reflection on Today’s Scripture Readings
Unlike mortals, angels do not die. Nor do they need to eat or drink. Without corruptible bodies, they live eternally with God. But the psalm for today describes the manna that the Israelites ate in the desert as “the bread of angels” (78:25). As the first reading tells us, it seemed to them that it came down from heaven every night. Through the manna, God gave them life when death seemed imminent. Through the manna, their faith in God’s eternal care for them was revived. In the case of the Israelites, they received life by eating the bread from heaven. And the life they were given allowed them to believe. In the case of the disciples of Jesus it’s the other way around. We must believe in Jesus as “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32) in order to receive the eternal life that he provides. —Virginia Stillwell Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications.

Stewardship: Sharing our Time, Talent, and Treasure!
“Each day the people are to go out and gather their daily portion; thus will I test them, to see whether they follow my instructions or not.” E 16:4
When the Israelites gathered more than their daily portion of manna, the surplus became wormy and rotten. In the same way today, self-reliance, pride and ego lead to hoarding and excessive surplus of goods and money. Living a stewardship lifestyle helps us discern our “wants” from our “needs”. Living a grateful and generous lifestyle reminds us that God will provide all that we need and that we have plenty to share.

Escritorio del Párroco Estimados Feligreses, El próximo fin de semana, están invitados a compartir con África apoyando al Fondo de Solidaridad para la Iglesia en África. A través de esta segunda colecta especial, los católicos de los Estados Unidos ayudan a la Iglesia a compartir el Evangelio a través de la evangelización, la catequesis, la formación de sacerdotes y religiosas y los medios de comunicación, al mismo tiempo que trabajan para construir la paz y la reconciliación entre vecinos. Su apoyo ayuda a la Iglesia joven al crecimiento a atender las necesidades pastorales actuales de los fieles en toda África. El siguiente fin de semana (14-15 de agosto), también se le pedirá, a través del Plan de Cooperación Misionera de la Arquidiócesis, que apoye a la Fundación AMEN. Esta Organización Católica, fundada en 1990, se esfuerza por promover, apoyar y fortalecer las vocaciones y ministerios religiosos católicos, lo que permite compartir el personal y los recursos del ministerio entre varias diócesis estadounidenses con las iglesias de muchos países africanos también. Compartiremos más sobre sus esfuerzos específicos en el boletín la próxima semana.
Monseñor Richard Arnhols, Párroco
Reflexión de las Escrituras de Hoy
Los ángeles, por el contrario de los mortales, no mueren. Ni necesitan comer y beber. Al no tener cuerpos corruptibles viven eternamente con Dios. Pero el salmo de hoy describe el maná que los israelitas comieron en el desierto como “pan de ángeles” (78:25). Parece que para ellos, tal como nos dice la primera lectura, el maná venía del cielo cada mañana. Por medio del maná Dios les dio la vida cuando la muerte parecía inminente. Por medio del maná su fe en la protección eterna de Dios se avivó. En el caso de los israelitas, recibieron la vida por comer el pan del cielo, y la vida que recibieron les permitió creer. En el caso de los discípulos de Jesús sucedió al revés. Nosotros debemos creer en Jesús como “el verdadero pan del cielo” (Juan 6:32) para poder recibir la vida eterna que Jesús nos ofrece. —Virginia Stillwell Derechos de autor © 2014, World Library Publications.

Administradores: ¡Compartiendo Nuestro Tiempo, Talento, Y Tesoro!
"Cada día la gente saldrá y recogerá su ración diaria;
entonces los probaremos, para ver si ellos siguen mis instrucciones o no.” É 16:4 Cuando los israelitas recogían más de su ración diaria de maná, el excedente se llenaba de gusanos y se descomponía. De la misma manera hoy en día, la autosuficiencia, el orgullo y el ego conducen al acaparamiento y a la acumulación excesiva de bienes y dinero. Vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad nos ayuda a distinguir nuestros "deseos" de nuestras "necesidades”. Vivir un estilo de vida agradecido y generoso nos recuerda que Dios nos proveerá todo lo que necesitamos y hará que tengamos más que suficiente para compartir.

THE BREAD OF LIFE
Today’s Gospel has the crowd asking Jesus three questions. First, “When did you get here,” to which Jesus responds by rebuking them for their failure to grasp his miracle as a “sign,” an occasion to put faith in him. Their second question about accomplishing the “works of God” has Jesus respond that faith is the “work” that God wishes. Many scholars believe this is John’s answer to the faith-works dichotomy emerging in the early Christian community. Faith is the work of God in the believer, John would have us understand. The third question asked by the crowd is a request for a “sign” that would allow them to put faith in Jesus, as the manna in the desert allowed the Israelites to put faith in the Lord God. Jesus answers by revealing himself as the “bread of life” that “comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Bereavement Support Program: Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Tenafly
September 25 - October 16
Grief is a time of deep sorrow following the loss of a loved one. Bereavement support allows for the confidential sharing of the struggles that you experience mourning your loved one. Our Bereavement Support Group will meet for four weeks on
Saturday mornings beginning September 25th. Topics covered include the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the
grieving process. Each session will run one and a half hours and begin and end with prayer.
Feel free to come and listen, sharing is optional.
If you are interested in joining the meetings, please contact the OLMC church office at 201-568-0545.
Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures
for eternal life.
— John 6:27a

Vivamos la Palabra de Dios A la Eucaristía se le conoce como el “pan de ángeles” (Salmo 78:25). Es un don gratuito de Dios. Se nos ofrece para que tengamos la vida eterna, pues por medio de ella recibimos la vida de Cristo, “el verdadero pan del cielo” (Juan 6:32). Jesús promete que todos los que crean y coman de ese pan llegarán a no sentir hambre ni sed de nada por toda la eternidad.

en más del 107.6% de la meta por lo que si todas las promesas de $112,621.00 se completan para fin de año, ¡la parroquia recibirá cualquier cantidad recaudada que sobrepasa la meta! Todavía hay tiempo para hacer una promesa o una donación.

EL PAN DE VIDA El Evangelio de hoy presenta a la gente haciéndole tres preguntas a Jesús. Primero: “¿cuándo llegaste acá?”, a la que Jesús responde con una reprimenda por su incapacidad para entender el milagro como una “señal”, una ocasión para poner la fe en él. La segunda pregunta tenía que ver con la realización de las “obras de Dios” a la que Jesús responde que la fe es la “obra” que Dios desea. Muchos eruditos creen que esta es la respuesta de Juan a la dicotomía fe-obras que estaba surgiendo en la primera comunidad cristiana. La fe es la obra de Dios en el creyente, Juan nos quiere hacer entender. La tercera pregunta que hace la multitud es una “señal” que les permita poner su fe en Jesús, como el maná en el desierto permitió a los israelitas poner su fe en el Señor Dios. Jesús responde con la revelación de que él es el “pan de vida” que “baja del cielo y da la vida al mundo”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
AVISO DEL CARNAVAL Continuamos monitoreando nuestra planificación necesaria para nuestro Carnaval Parroquial, programado para el 21 al 25 de septiembre. Esperamos que aún podamos disfrutar de los juegos y atracciones tradicionales, al tiempo que proporcionamos un menú más limitado de alimentos que se pueden comer y llevar fácilmente a mano. Estaremos pidiendo su ayuda a medida que nos acerquemos, ya sea en donaciones de artículos o como voluntario en un puesto.
R.I.C.A.
Los adultos católicos que no hayan recibido su Primera Comunión o Confirmación, así como los miembros de otras religiones o ninguna religión que busquen convertirse en católicos, están invitados a ponerse en contacto con la rectoría para comenzar el proceso. Por favor deje su nombre y número de teléfono, indicando si prefiere las sesiones de formación en inglés o en español, y uno de nuestros diáconos se pondrá en contacto con usted. El Rito de la Iniciación Cristiana para los Adultos tiene sus sesiones los domingos por la mañana en el Parish Life Center.
En unión con las pautas del CDC y el Estado, RECOMENDAMOS ENCARECIDAMENTE
que TODOS USEN TAPABOCAS cuando vengan a Misa u otras reuniones más
concurridas en interiores, ya que no se conoce el estado de la vacuna de todos y la variante
Delta del virus parece estar aumentando. Esto incluye cuando vengas a comulgar.
¡Gracias por su cooperación!
