AUGUST 11, 2013 NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
A HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION THE DOGMA OF THE ASSUMPTION The dogma of the Assumption recognizes the Blessed Virgin Mary's singular participation in her Son's Resurrection by which she was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, when the course of her earthly life was finished. (CCC 966) After her death, the body of the Blessed Virgin, reunited with her soul, was miraculously taken up into heaven. The Church observes this event in the Feast of the Assumption, and it is a Holy Day of Obligation. We invite you and your family and friends to join us for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on this day in which we honor our Blessed Mother who was assumed into Heaven. Holy Days of Obligation are principal feast days on which, in addition to Sundays, Catholics are obliged by Church law to participate in the Eucharist (i.e., go to Mass). Please join us for Mass at Incarnation parish. The list of Mass times is posted below. Please share with your family and friends. One who misses Mass on a Holy Day of Obligation should first go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation before returning to Holy Communion.

Church of the Incarnation
813-885-7861 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In recent weeks, we have reviewed how the Churches of East and West have enriched one another, and this Thursday’s solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was born in the Eastern Church. It is a gift from the ancient Church of Jerusalem, a commemoration of the death of Mary, and a feast charged with a deep sense of the Resurrection. Mary, the first disciple, is the first to share fully in Christ’s victory over death. In the tradition of the East, today is the “Dormition of the Theotokos,” or the “Falling Asleep of the God bearer.” There is no shadow of death or gloom in the theology, since this is seen as a transformation of Mary’s life into a heavenly and immortal existence. There is a sense in the tradition that she who made earth heavenly and exalted the human race by her faithfulness is glorified today.
READINGS FOR THE WEEK
A persistent legend among Orthodox Christians tells how all the disciples, except Thomas, who was preaching in India, were present at Mary’s death and burial, and sat by the tomb for three days. On the third day, Thomas saw Mary’s body rising to heaven. She greeted him as “my friend,” and he was escorted by angels to proclaim her assumption to the others, who then realized her tomb was empty. Thus Thomas, the one who expressed doubt at the resurrection of Christ, received a gift from Mary: the chance to proclaim resurrection faith to the disciples. —James Field, Copyright © J. S.

PREPARATION Imagine the following scene: you sit down in your school desk. The teacher walks the aisle, placing the paper before you, face down. You set your watch. You will have exactly one hour to do the test. You turn the paper over. Then it hits you: you never took any notes. You never studied or did even one assignment. For a student, lack of preparation is the nightmare of nightmares. Jesus talks about the need for preparation in today’s Gospel. God is pleased to give us the kingdom, Jesus says. “Gird your loins and light your lamps.” See that you are prepared. Jesus’ teaching reminds us of the question once posed to St. Francis de Sales and his companions, who, according to the story, were playing billiards. “What would you do if you knew the end of the world was coming in one hour?” The friends of Francis shared various plottings of how they would get their affairs in order. Most mentioned prayer. Francis shrugged, “I would continue doing what I am doing.” Are you ready to meet the Lord? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Decimonoveno Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 11 de agosto de 2013 Nosotros aguardamos al Señor: él es nuestro auxilio y escudo. — Salmo 33 (32):20 Domingo 11 de Agosto. Domingo 19 Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Donde está nuestro tesoro, allí estará también nuestro corazón. Nuestro corazón es flexible: se va amasando a lo largo de la vida a imagen y semejanza de nuestro tesoro. Preguntémonos de verdad dónde está nuestro tesoro, qué es lo que en realidad deseamos, aquello hacia donde orientamos la vida. Si ponemos el corazón en el dinero, nos volvemos fríos, materialistas, interesados; nuestro corazón será frío y sin entrañas, un corazón de piedra o de metal. Porque el dinero no tiene entrañas; es decir, aquel que pone el corazón en el dinero no tiene entrañas. Si nuestro corazón se acostumbra de verdad a amar, seremos cálidos, sensibles, capaces de sacrificio, de salir de nosotros mismos: tendremos un corazón de carne. La Biblia dice que Dios tiene entrañas de madre, que su corazón es tierno. Jesús nos dice y nos recomienda hoy que no pongamos el corazón en el dinero, que seamos dueños de él, que sepamos ser desprendidos, que nos hagamos un tesoro en el cielo, que tengamos el corazón puesto en Dios. Necesitamos poseer algunos bienes para vivir, es cierto, pero estos no son la fuente de la vida ni está en ellos la clave o el secreto para ser persona. Sólo el que ama y vive solidariamente y en apertura a los demás, dándose a Dios y al prójimo, tiene vida auténtica y, en definitiva, es feliz, porque entiende la vida con sabiduría. Todo pierde sentido cuando el hombre se cierra a Dios y al hermano. Más que bienes materiales necesitamos razones para vivir y compartir. Amar en profundidad, como Cristo nos amó: he ahí la base de la solidaridad y del compartir, en ello radica el ser o no ser verdaderos cristianos, el ser o no ser felices. Examinemos dónde está de verdad nuestro deseo, qué nos mueve, qué nos empuja. Conoceremos dónde está y cómo es de verdad nuestro corazón. P. Jairo Para Orar con la Palabra de Dios YO QUIERO TU TESORO, SEÑOR Si por lo que sea, prefiero el hierro al oro, hazme recuperar el sentido común de las cosas. Que te ame por encima de todo Que te espere más que aquello de lo que yo veo y toco. Que vigile para que, si llamas de mañana o por la tarde, me encuentres despierto, anhelante, de pie interesado por todo lo tuyo YO QUIERO TU TESORO, SEÑOR Frente a lo efímero, porque sé que es eterno Frente a lo débil, porque sé que es fuerte Frente a lo caduco, porque sé que es indestructible Frente a lo presente que, hoy vive y mañana muere porque sé, que en Ti, Señor, está el futuro.

11 de agosto de 2013 Conozcamos al Papa Francisco. Parte 1 (Juan Vicente Boo. Corresponsal en el vaticano) Han pasado un poco más de cien días de la elección del papa Francisco, se ha dado inicio a un cambio en el modo de entender la Iglesia y de ser cristiano. Estas diez claves nos pueden ayudar también a cada uno de nosotros. 1.

SENCILLEZ. Desde que era profesor de filosofía y literatura, el padre Jorge sabe que los pedestales no sirven para nada. Es mejor acercarse al alumno de igual a igual, a su altura. Como párroco y obispo aprendió a hablar a los más pequeños. Los títulos y los tronos crean barreras innecesarias. Se llama Francisco no Francisco I. No utiliza como antefirma “P. P.” ni “S. S.”. Es un Papa con zapatos negros. AFECTO. Es un vendaval de cariño. Con las personas que conoce y con personas desconocidas, especialmente si son niños, pobres o enfermos. Cada miércoles dedica 45 minutos a recorrer la plaza de San Pedro en el papamóvil para que todos puedan verle de cerca. Sonríe, bendice, besa en un despliegue de energía asombroso en un hombre de 76 años con ligera insuficiencia pulmonar y que no hace deporte. Reparte besos y abrazos sin cansarse, especialmente a los enfermos de ELA, Down, etc.

HUMILDAD. Aunque regaló a Benedicto XVI el icono de la Virgen de la Humildad recibido de la Iglesia Ortodoxa rusa, lo cierto es que ambos son ejemplo de esa virtud. Joseph Ratzinger fue toda su vida una persona sencilla y sobria, espartana en sus gastos personales. Jorge Bergoglio siempre ha sabido cocinar, lavarse la ropa, tomar el autobús y el metro. Al día siguiente de ser elegido Papa fue a la residencia del clero a recoger su maleta y pagar su factura.

FORTALEZA. Cuando despedía a la presidenta brasileña Dilma Roussef, antigua militante y prisionera política durante la dictadura militar, el Papa le dio un consejo de su propia experiencia como rector del Colegio Máximo, provincial de los Jesuitas de Argentina y cardenal arzobispo de Buenos Aires: Recuerde: fuerte pero con ternura. Siempre ha sido cariñoso con todos pero, al mismo tiempo, lo que tiene que hacer, lo hace. Sus antiguos colaboradores están seguros de que hará poda y limpieza en la Curia vaticana. Fustiga la hipocresía.

LIBERTAD. Francisco es un hombre libre. No aspira a nada. No le importa lo que digan de él. Desde hace tiempo no se molestaba en responder a calumnias contra su persona sino sólo a tergiversaciones sobre lo que decía en público o en privado. Es un Papa low cost. No necesita nada. Nunca tuvo coche oficial ni secretarios, tan sólo una agenda. Llama directamente por teléfono a quien quiere. Escribe y habla con libertad pues las críticas no le importan.
