20th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 16, 2020 I pray these lines find all doing well. Things here are pretty much the same. I really pray that our current situation of donning the mask does not become the new norm. Masks are for creating sterile environments for medical professionals and for super-heroes not the norm of life – at least I hope not.
Lord, Give Us Grace
As people in a society that judges others by looks, social status, money and much more, it’s notable that in the Gospel of Matthew this weekend, we find Jesus healing a Canaanite woman. The many stories of Jesus’ encounters with people are often with those who many would judge to be on the fringes of society, sinners, outcasts, criminals, foreigners, and even corrupt government and temple officials. He does this to challenge the authority of the day, and to create a new way of thinking and encountering others. Canaanites were pagans for the most part. Yet, this woman cries out, “Lord, Son of David, help me”. She recognizes the divinity of Christ and addresses Him as such. She wanted nothing more than to free her daughter from torment from a demon. Jesus took the opportunity to show that His saving works were not only for the Jews, but for all people regardless of their nationality, belief, or unbelief. The woman showed faith, earnestly and unceasingly praying, and Jesus answered her prayer. He said to her, “O woman, great is your faith, let it be done for you as you wish,” and her daughter was healed. Let this serve as a lesson for us that unceasing and persistent prayer is powerful and is answered. It may not be the answer we want, but we trust that it is the will of God. Today more than ever our families, our churches, our nation and our world need prayer…prayers of healing, prayers for peace, prayers for love of our fellow man regardless of skin color, nationality, politics, faith, or past action. Today we pray, “Lord give us the grace to open our hearts to bring healing and compassion to all”. Bishop Gregory Parkes Confessions Every Saturday From 2:30 - 3:30pm

Today Jesus teaches his disciples a valuable lesson through an encounter with a Canaanite woman in need. The need is not for her directly but for her daughter who is tormented by a demon. The disciples are learning something new, not their fault they were just a product of their environment of the normal thought process at that time. People of religious faiths did not inter-mingle and a Rabbi ministered to the Jewish people only. This woman realized that what she was doing was not appropriate to that time, but two things propelled her into this act – her love for her daughter and her faith and confidence that Jesus could cure her daughter. Jesus, in curing the girl, gives a very clear sign to the crowd and especially to His disciples that God’s love and power is available to anyone who has faith. Jesus says to the woman a phrase which is one of the greatest lines anyone could ever hear from Jesus Himself “Great is your faith.” This line also reminds us of another truth – it is our faith and the amount we choose to bring to a situation that Jesus will work with. Jesus has total un-limitless power to do whatever He desires but He is not going to force Himself upon us, he chooses to need our faith and the amount we bring to a situation. This Canaanite woman had the faith necessary for Jesus to act. How is our faith, and where is our faith? I pray it is in Jesus alone! Have a great week! Love, Fr. Mike

AUGUST 16, 2020
Our Public Masses Have Resumed With Nuestra Misas Publicas Se Reanuden Con Revised Mass Schedule and Safety Horario de Misas Revisado y Protocolos Protocols In Effect de Seguridad En Efecto (We are requesting our parishioners to please wear a mask during Mass).
Here are some details of some changes to expect. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still in effect and will be until further notice. Everyone must use main entrance and follow the instructions of the ushers. Please be patient. The side doors are ONLY emergency exits. Incarnation is limited to a maximum seating of 128 due to social distancing. They are marked by green crosses. Once we reach 128 people there will be no more permitted to enter. People who live in the same home may sit together. Ushers will greet each person and show them to their seat. In order to properly disinfect after each Mass, the Sunday schedule will be:
Saturday 4:00 pm Sunday 7am, 9am & 11am, Spanish at 1pm Please limit private prayer after mass to no longer than 5 minutes so our volunteers can properly disinfect the church. The chapel and cry room will remain closed. There will be a collection basket at the entrance. No basket will be passed around and there will be no basket bearers. Hand sanitizer dispensers are in the Narthex as you enter and leave. No holding hands at Our Father and no contact peace. Ushers will direct section by section in a single line at three communion spots. Communion is ONLY distributed on the hand, not the tongue, for the time being at Incarnation. Please respect other’s space in communion line with proper distance.
Rogamos a nuestros apreciados feligreses, que lleven puesta una "mascara" durante la Misa.
A continuación, detalles de algunos cambios a implementar: Continúa la dispensa de no asistir a la Misa de Domingo, hasta próximo aviso. Todos debemos usar la puerta principal de la iglesia, así como seguir las instrucciones de los acomodadores (ujieres). Por favor ejercitemos la paciencia. Las puertas laterales de la iglesia se usarían SOLO en emergencia. En atención a la situación actual y la necesidad de usar “distanciamiento”, nuestra iglesia acepta un cupo máximo de 128 personas. Siga la guía de las marcas con cinta verde en los bancos. Por lo antes dicho, sobre la capacidad. Una vez llenado el cupo de 128 y por la protección de todos, no podran entrar otras personas. Los ujieres (acomodadores) cortésmente le indicarán los espacios disponibles. Las personas que viven en una misma casa pueden sentarse juntos en el mismo banco. En atención al hecho de que debemos desinfectar los bancos después de cada misa, el horario de celebración de misas es como sigue:
Sábado: 4:00 p.m. Domingo: 7am, 9am & 11am, 1:00 p.m. en Español La capilla y el cuarto para familias con niños pequeños permanecerán cerrados. Canasta de colecta: las encontraremos a la entrada. No pasaremos la canasta dentro de la misa y por el momento las especies para la consagración serán colocados en la mesa cerca del altar en lugar de llevarlos en procesión. Tendrá la oportunidad de higienizar sus manos a la entrada/ salida del templo. No unirnos de manos durante el Padre Nuestro; no contacto en el saludo de la Paz. Los Ujieres dirigen a los comulgantes a formar una sola fila para la comunión, la cual se hará por sección, habrán tres estaciones para recibir la Comunión. Por el momento, La Comunión será distribuida solo en la mano, no sobre la lengua. Por favor mantenga la distancia entre personas en la fila para recibir la Comunión.

Prayer for Protection against Storms & Hurricanes O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed Your order and returned to its former quietude. You are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control: the Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land, and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our beloved Mother, we ask you to Plead with your Son on our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem, where stormless eternity awaits us. Amen. PRAYER FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS God of everlasting goodness, you sent your Son among us to bring healing, peace, and reconciliation to our weary world. Be with all health care workers and their assistants in this time of the Coronavirus pandemic. As they continue Jesus’ ministry of care, renew them in mind, body, and spirit. Keep them safe from infection and illness, and may Christ’s healing presence flow through Them as they serve those entrusted to their care. We ask this in His name, Christ the healer, who is Lord forever and ever. Amen.

Señor, danos la gracia

Como personas en una sociedad que juzga a los demás por su apariencia, estatus social, dinero y mucho más, es notable que en el Evangelio de san Mateo de este fin de semana, encontremos a Jesús curando a una mujer cananea. Las muchas historias de los encuentros de Jesús con la gente son a menudo con personas que muchos juzgarían estar al margen de la sociedad, los pecadores, los rechazados, los criminales, los extranjeros, e incluso los funcionarios corruptos del gobierno y del templo. Él hace esto para desafiar a la autoridad del día, y crear una nueva manera de pensar y de llegar a los demás. Los cananeos eran paganos en su mayoría. Sin embargo, esta mujer grita: "Señor, hijo de David, ten compasión de mí". Ella reconoce la divinidad de Cristo y se dirige a él como tal. Ella no quería nada más que liberar a su hija del tormento de un demonio. Jesús aprovechó la oportunidad para mostrar que sus obras salvíficas no eran sólo para los judíos, sino para todas las personas sin importar nacionalidad, creencia o incredulidad. La mujer demostró fe, orando ferviente e incesantemente, y Jesús respondió a su oración. Le dijo: “Mujer, ¡qué grande es tu fe! Que se cumpla lo que deseas”, y su hija fue curada. Que esto nos sirva de lección de cómo la oración incesante y persistente es poderosa y es atendida. Puede que no sea la respuesta que queremos, pero confiamos en que es la voluntad de Dios. Hoy más que nunca nuestras familias, nuestras iglesias, nuestra nación y nuestro mundo necesitan oraciones...oraciones de curación, oraciones por la paz, oraciones por el amor a nuestro prójimo sin importar el color de la piel, la nacionalidad, la política, la fe o las acciones pasadas. Hoy rezamos: "Señor danos la gracia de abrir nuestros corazones para llevar la sanación y la compasión a todos". - Monseñor Gregory Parkes
LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Martes: Miércoles: Jueves: Viernes: Sábado: Domingo:
Ez 24:15-24; Dt 32:18-21; Mt 19:16-22 Ez 28:1-10; Dt 32:26-28, 30, 35cd-36ab; Mt 19:23-30 Ez 34:1-11; Sal 23 (22):1-6; Mt 20:1-16 Ez 36:23-28; Sal 51 (50):12-15, 18-19; Mt 22:1-14 Ez 37:1-14; Sal 107 (106):2-9; Mt 22:34-40 Ez 43:1-7ab; Sal 85 (84):9ab, 10-14; Mt 23:1-12 Is 22:19-23; Sal 138 (137):1-3, 6, 8; Rom 11:33-36; Mt 16:13-20
Ruego que estas líneas les encuentren disfrutando de buena salud. Por aquí todo marcha sin novedad. Continúo mis oraciones suplicando que pronto podamos prescindir del uso de una máscara protectora, la cual se ha convertido en una forma de vida. Normalmente el uso de las máscaras sirve para crear un ambiente estéril para los profesionales médicos y para superhéroes, no como una norma dentro de nuestras vidas – por lo menos, eso espero. El texto de hoy nos dice que Jesús enseña sus discípulos una valiosa lección a través de un encuentro con una mujer cananea que se encuentra en gran necesidad. La necesidad de ésta mujer no es directamente de ella, sino de su hija, quien es atormentada por un demonio. Los discípulos aprenden algo nuevo, no es su culpa, ellos eran un producto del ambiente en ese momento de sus vidas. En aquel tiempo, la gente de diversidad religiosa no se mezclaba, sino que un Rabino servía solo a los Judíos. Esta mujer se dio cuenta de que lo que estaba haciendo no era propio para su tiempo; ella fue dirigida por dos fuerzas – el amor por su hija además de por su fe y confianza de que Jesús podía sanar su hija. Al curar a su hija, Jesús le muestra a la gente una evidente señal, especialmente a Sus discípulos; que el amor y el poder de Dios están disponibles a la persona que tiene fe. Jesús le dice a la mujer una frase, que además es una de las mas impactantes que persona alguna pudiese escuchar de la boca del mismo Jesús: “Grande es tu fe”. Esta frase también nos recuerda otra gran verdad – Jesús procede desde nuestra fe y cuanta fe estamos trayendo a una situación dada en el momento que le presentamos nuestra súplica . Jesús tiene poder ilimitado para lo que Él quiere llevar a cabo en un momento dado. La mujer Cananea tuvo la fe que motivó a Jesús para actuar en su favor; ¿ Cómo es nuestra fe, y donde está nuestra Fe ? Ruego que esté solo en Jesús ! Les deseo una buena semana ! Reciban mi cariño. Padre Mike
