Pastor’s CornerPastor’s CornerPastor’s Corner Rincón del PastorRincón del PastorRincón del Pastor A young seminarian was speaking to a group of teenag-ers that were on retreat. He told them about one of his favorite parts of seminary life - waking up early in the morning to go to the chapel for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration. From his time meditating in front of the Body of Christ in the tabernacle, he developed his own prayer for adoration and receiving Eucharist: “Jesus, I want to be you.” Some could see this as an audacious request. That we, in all our human frailty, might approach the Creator of the universe, truly present in the bread and wine of the Eu-charist, and beg to not be just like him, or draw close to him, but to actually become him. And yet, when we process forward for Communion and hear the words spoken, “the Body of Christ” and “the Blood of Christ,” our “amen” signifies not only our belief that the bread and wine have in fact been transformed into the sacred flesh of Jesus, but also that this is our own true nature and who we are called to be, the Body of Christ alive and active in our world. St. Augustine puts it this way: “If you, therefore, are Christ’s body and members, it is your own mystery that is placed on the Lord’s table! It is your own mystery that you are receiving! You are say-ing ‘Amen’ to what you are.” In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the gathered crowds, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” Throughout the Gospel of John, re-maining in Jesus is perhaps the most important duty of a disciple. Later in the Gospel, Jesus will use the word “remain” 12 times in 17 verses in the parable of the true vine (John 15:1-17). Often, we might think that it is our actions that should be the focus of the spiritual life, and yet within this para-ble , Jesus gives the commandment to “remain” twice as many times as he mentions bearing fruit on the vine. Re-maining is the starting point and the only way to carry out our mission as disciples - to bring the love of Christ to the broken places of our world. Our identity as Christ’s body and blood is not a status symbol or a conveyor of power, instead it marks us for a life of servanthood and radical self-gift to others. Our Lord is the “living bread that came down from heaven” who desires to be our food and drink. This is the humility that we are called to emulate: to seek to be nourishment for others instead of worrying about satisfying our own hungers for recognition or material possessions. If Jesus’ call for us to be bread that is broken and wine that is poured out seems nearly impossible, we can take courage that he does not ask us to do it on our own. At the altar, we encounter the bread of life, Jesus, the risen one, who desires to feed us with himself. In hope and trust, we pray “Jesus, I want to be you,” and then say “amen” to who we truly are. The Eucharist is the greatest gift that Jesus left for us to celebrate. It is a gift that we should all want to share with others. Through the RCIA process others can come to know what we know and what we love, namely, Jesus in the Eucharist. If you have not celebrated all your Sac-raments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation) then the RCIA is for you. If you have contemplating join-ing the Church, or you know someone who is interested, then the RCIA is for you or them. Please contact our new RCIA Director Sister Marie Paul, SND, through our par-ish office. All are welcome to inquire and come and see. Father Michael Rocha
Un joven seminarista estaba hablando con un grupo de adolescentes que estaban en retiro. Les contó sobre una de sus partes favoritas de la vida en el seminario: despertarse temprano en la mañana para ir a la capilla por una hora de Adoración Eucarística. Desde su tiempo de meditación frente al Cuerpo de Cristo en el tabernáculo, desarrolló su propia oración de adoración y de recibir la Eucaristía: "Jesús, quiero ser tú". Algunos podrían ver esto como una solicitud audaz. Para que nosotros, en toda nuestra fragilidad humana, po-damos acercarnos al Creador del universo, verdaderamente presente en el pan y el vino de la Eucaristía, y supliquemos no ser como él o acercarnos a él, sino convertirnos en él. Y, sin embargo, cuando hacemos la procesión para reci-bir la Comunión y escuchamos las palabras pronunciadas, "el Cuerpo de Cristo" y "la Sangre de Cristo", nuestro "amén" significa no solo nuestra creencia de que el pan y el vino se han transformado en el carne sagrada de Jesús, sino también que esta es nuestra verdadera naturaleza propia y que estamos llamados a ser, el Cuerpo de Cristo vivo y ac-tivo en nuestro mundo. San Agustín lo expresa de esta ma-nera: "Si tú, por lo tanto, eres el cuerpo y los miembros de Cristo, ¡es tu propio misterio el que se coloca en la mesa del Señor! ¡Es tu propio misterio lo que estás recibiendo! Estás diciendo 'Amén' a lo que tú eres". En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús les dice a las multitudes reunidas: "El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre perma-nece en mí y yo en él". A lo largo del Evangelio de Juan, permanecer en Jesús es quizás el deber más importante de un discípulo. Más tarde en el Evangelio, Jesús usará la pa-labra "permanecer" 12 veces en 17 versículos en la parábo-la de la vid verdadera (Juan 15: 1-17). A menudo, podríamos pensar que nuestras acciones de-berían ser el centro de la vida espiritual, y sin embargo, dentro de esta parábola, Jesús da el mandamiento de "permanecer" el doble de veces de lo que dice al dar fruto en la vid. Permanecer es el punto de partida y la única for-ma de llevar a cabo nuestra misión como discípulos: llevar el amor de Cristo a los lugares quebrantados de nuestro mundo. Nuestra identidad como el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo no es un símbolo de estatus o un instrumento de poder, sino que nos marca una vida de servicio y entrega radical a los demás. Nuestro Señor es el "pan vivo que bajó del cielo" que desea ser nuestro alimento y nuestra bebida. Esta es la humildad que estamos llamados a emular: buscar ser ali-mento para los demás en lugar de preocuparnos por satisfa-cer nuestras propias ansias de reconocimiento o de posesio-nes materiales. Si el llamado de Jesús para que seamos pan partido y vino vertido parece casi imposible, podemos tomar valor en el hecho de que él no nos pide que lo hagamos por nues-tra cuenta. En el altar, encontramos el pan de vida, Jesús resucitado, que desea alimentarnos consigo mismo. Con esperanza y confianza, rezamos "Jesús, quiero ser tú", y luego digo "amén" a lo realmente somos. La Eucaristía es el mayor regalo que Jesús nos dejó para celebrar. Es un regalo que todos deberíamos compartir con los demás. A través del proceso RICA, otros pueden llegar a saber lo que sabemos y lo que amamos, a saber, Jesús en la Eucaristía. Si no ha celebrado todos sus Sacramentos de Iniciación (Bautismo, Eucaristía, Confirmación), entonces el RICA es para usted. Si ha pensado en unirse a la Iglesia, o si conoce a alguien que esté interesado, RCIA es para usted o para ellos. Comuníquese con nuestra nueva directo-ra de RICA, hermana Marie Paul, SND, a través de nuestra oficina parroquial. Todos son bienvenidos, tanto como para preguntar como para venir a ver.

Did You Know?
Review your family phone numbers As a family, you should have a list of family emergen-cy phone numbers that your children know from an early age. Review these numbers together a few times a year. Children should know their parents’ cell and work phone numbers, and they should know who to call — and how— in an emergency. Include the numbers for the police, the fire department, and stress the importance of knowing when and how to con-tact 911. For little children who cannot memorize all that yet, try writing the parents’ phone numbers inside their shoes.

THIS EUCHARISTIC FEAST
Some things about human nature don’t change, even over the course of centuries. When we celebrate a holiday, we have a meal; when we celebrate a significant event, we have a feast. In today’s first reading, Lady Wisdom is setting a feast, a sign of celebrating the covenant that Israel has with God. Israel’s central remembrance of its saving Exodus covenant is the Passover meal. So it is natural—and not coincidental—that the Christian celebration of the new cove-nant sealed by the blood of Christ on the cross happens at a meal, our Eucharist, offered first by Jesus in the context of Passover remembrance. It is easy for us, sometimes, to forget the very long and rich religious and human origins of our eucharistic feasting on the bread and cup that are the Body and Blood of Jesus. Today, and for the next few Sundays that we hear the “Bread of Life” discourse from John, let us bring to mind the loving covenant that God makes with us, and be filled with great joy at this marvelous feast that we have come to attend!

Sometimes the heat of summer translates into unrest in a city’s streets. In the summer of 1834, popular sentiment against the presence of the Ursuline nuns near Boston reached a boiling point. An influx of Irish laborers had an impact on the work force in the city, and a deep-seated resentment against Catholics fueled the fire. The nuns supported them-selves with a school, and most of the young women students were drawn from patrician Protestant families. Neverthe-less, rumors fed by the saga of an unhappy junior sister and a later episode of a senior sister fleeing the place increased tensions. The city’s selectmen were given a tour by the disgruntled sister, who by then had returned, and found all things in good order. That didn’t please the mob, and the mother superior didn’t help matters when she said that the bishop had platoons of Irishmen at hand, twenty thousand strong, to do marauders harm. By August 11, the convent had been invaded, ransacked, and burned to the ground. The nuns fled to Maine and Canada. The diocese attempted to re-cover losses, but the commonwealth offered only ten thousand dollars, which was rejected. Years later, a legislative bill for the state to rebuild the convent and school was roundly defeated. Yet the enterprise of Catholic education had great resilience, and in 1946, more than a hundred years after the riots, the Ursulines returned to Boston to re-establish an academy that endures to the present day. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

VIVIR PARA SIEMPRE El pasaje del evangelio de San Juan que proclama la liturgia de este domingo, comienza con una afirmación de Jesús: “Soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo”. Jesús habla en una sinagoga a una comunidad a la que él mismo pertenecía, y que avivaba la memoria histórica de haber sido alimentada en sus padres o antepasados, con un pan desconocido, el “maná” que Moisés había hecho bajar del cielo. Esa memoria avivaba la protección divina, y afian-zaba el orgullo de ser el pueblo escogido por Dios. Pero en ese caminar, el pueblo también experimentó sus limi-taciones, su debilidad y su dureza de corazón. Si entendemos literalmente este párrafo inicial, como aquella comunidad de Cafarnaun, sin penetrar el misterio de la enseñanza de Jesús, nos encontraremos confundi-dos, ¿comer la carne de Jesús? ¡Es una locura! Sólo con una catequesis sacramental podremos acercarnos a ese misterio que llamamos Jesús-Eucaristía. Todos los que participamos en la Eucaristía dominical tenemos la gracia de atestiguar el gran misterio del pan celeste, porque por la plegaría de la Iglesia el pan y el vino se nos convierten en cuerpo y sangre de Jesús, a eso lo llamamos transubs-tanciación. Mucho se ha explicado ese misterio de la pre-sencia de Cristo-Eucaristía, pero lo sustancial es que nos alimenta para la vida eterna. El Concilio Vaticano II nos ha enseñado que la Euca-ristía es “fuente y cumbre de toda la vida cristiana”, des-graciadamente, para muchos cristianos bautizados, la par-ticipación dominical en la Eucaristía no es una prioridad. ¿De dónde alimentan ellos su espíritu cristiano? Muchos están experimentando la muerte espiritual, porque quieren extraer vitalidad de pozos secos, de aguas encharca-das….donde sólo hay muerte. Hay que acudir a la fuente de la vida. Como diría Juan Pablo II en su encíclica sobre la Eucaristía, “La Iglesia vive del Cristo eucarístico, de él se alimenta y por él su vida es iluminada y su existencia y de algún modo, los fieles reviven la experiencia de los dos discípulos de Emaús, a quienes se le abrieron los ojos y lo reconocieron al momento en que Jesús bendice y par-te el pan”. Vamos al banquete, Cristo nos espera. ¿Qué recursos tienes a tu alcance para alimentar tu espi-ritualidad?
VIVIENDO NUESTRA FE El Consejo Pontificio de la Cultura en el estudio ¿Dónde está tu Dios?, detecta que los canales tradicionales para trasmitir la fe ya no son tan efectivos como eran. El en-torno familiar actual se deteriora , por ejemplo, cuando ambos cónyuges se ven obligados a trabajar, y los niños pasan poco tiempo en familia, sin adquirir el sentido co-munitario básico, ni valorar la familia, o cuando los abue-los son alejados del círculo inmediato; ocuando la pre-sencia masiva de la televisión no deja espacio a la inter-acción. ¿Cómo estamos trasmitiendo la fe?.

Las inscripciones para las clases de Educación Reli-giosa en español darán inicio a partir de esta semana. Al momento de registrar a su hijo/ja, deberán de en-tregar la copia de bautismo del estudiante y un depó-sito de $20.00. Para más información llamar a la ofi-cina.
¿SABÍA USTED?
Revise los números de teléfono de su familia Como familia, debe tener una lista de números tele-fónicos de emergencia familiar que sus hijos conozcan desde temprana edad. Repase estos números juntos en familia algunas veces al año. Los niños deben conocer los números de teléfono del celular y del trabajo de sus padres, y deben saber a quién llamar, y cómo hacerlo, en caso de emergencia. Incluya los números de la policía, el departamento de bomberos y haga énfasis de la im-portancia de saber cuándo y cómo contactar al 911. Para los niños pequeños que aún no pueden memorizar todo eso, intente escribir los números de teléfono de los pa-dres de familia dentro de sus zapatos.
