August 19, 2012 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 19, 2012 Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. — John 6:53 WE SHARE GOD’S LIFE NOW Over the past few weeks, second readings at Sunday Mass have been taken from Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. Paul has been providing an ongoing instruction on what it means to live and share God’s life now. Paul was writing to people who lived in the midst of pagan activity. That is why Paul’s words are still applicable to us. This is not to say that our world is monstrously evil, that nastiness surrounds us, or that everyone is out to get us. That’s not true. What is true, however, is that times are tough. Our society pressures us to look out for ourselves, to take the best advantage we can, often without giving much thought to the other person. Paul also urges us to take the best advantage we can, but with constant regard for the other person. And the best advantage we can take is to remember that Christ is with us—is in us—now.

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This week we observe another Marian celebration, the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its original date was May 31, when it was instituted by Pius XII in 1954, but it was eventually moved to August 22 so that its close relationship with the Assumption might be made clear. Mary’s queenship is multi-dimensional: she reigns gloriously in heaven as queen and mother; she is the queen who intercedes; she is the sign of the Church in its future glory. Of course, the traditions surrounding the Blessed Mother’s queenship extend much further back than the establishment of this feast. In the eighth century St. John Damascene could write, “When she became Mother of the Creator, she truly became Queen of every creature.” According to Jewish tradition, the mother of the king was accorded a seat of honor at the right of the king. With Jesus’ royal heritage as a descendant and member of the house of David, Mary quite naturally takes her proper place as the queen mother. Pius XII simply recalled these traditions and gave us a day to remind us of how we can direct our prayers to Mary, our Queen. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK August 19, 2012, Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time O God, who have prepared for those who love you good things which no eye can see, fill our hearts, we pray, with the warmth of your love, so that, loving you in all things and above all things, we may attain your promises, which surpass every human desire. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Reflection question: What has God promised to me?

Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Disposing of Religious Articles
AROUND THE DIOCESE NATIVE AMERICAN MASS AND DINNER CELEBRATION The Native American Ministry invites you to join them at St. Anne Church, 106 11th Ave. NE, Ruskin, on Saturday, August 25, 2012 for the 5:00 PM Mass and Dinner following. Music during the Liturgy will include the Native drum, flute, and hymns in Native languages. For more information and dinner tickets, please contact Maureen Biebrich from the Many Nations Kateri Circle at 813-641 -8803. ALL ARE WELCOME!
Paul Turner When religious articles deteriorate to a point when they can no longer be used effectively, they may be disposed of with dignity. Your parish may burn old palm branches to make ashes for Ash Wednesday. But the proper disposal of other religious articles is not so clear. The Code of Canon Law says that sacred objects designated for divine worship by dedication or blessing are to be treated reverently. They are not to be employed for profane or inappropriate use (1171). Regarding large buildings, the code says they lose their dedication or blessing if they have been destroyed in large part, or if they have been turned over permanently to profane use (1212). But the code does not directly answer a very practical question many Catholics have: “What do I do with a broken rosary, a tarnished medal, or a deteriorating statue?” In the past, the Vatican has offered several different solutions. If possible, put the object to some other sacred use. If not, burn it, melt it or bury it. Try to avoid letting the object enter secular or profane use. If you have old religious articles at home, you may bury them in the ground. When you do, you might read a passage from the bible such as Revelation 21:1-5, which speaks about the passing away of a former world and the coming of something new. Recall the occasions you have used these items. Pray the Lord’s Prayer. Do it in a spirit of thankfulness for all that these objects have meant and out of respect for the sacred realities they have represented. Copyright © 2006 Resource Publications, Inc., 160 E.

Vigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 19 de agosto de 2012 Si no comen la carne del Hijo del hombre y no beben su sangre, no podrán tener vida en ustedes. — Juan 6:53 Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Domingo 20 Tiempo Ordinario Lamentablemente, a veces, nos comportamos como irracionales o como gente que no sabe lo que hace; hecho que ocurre cuando nos dejamos fascinar por bienes de valor escasos o dudoso y decidimos ir a la búsqueda de valores que, una vez conseguidos, nos decepcionan radicalmente por engañosos. La palabra de Dios nos propone estar a la escucha y alerta para descubrir y entender qué quiere de nosotros el Señor, para sacar provecho del momento presente; es decir, para vivir en positivo, abandonado la ignorancia y avanzando por el camino del conocimiento y de la verdadera sabiduría de vida. La sabiduría verdadera nos sale al paso y nos invita a escucharla y seguirla. El libro de los Proverbios, sirviéndose del sentido figurado, dice que la sabiduría ha preparado el banquete, mezclado el vino y puesto la mesa, y nos invita diciendo: Vengan a comer de mi pan y a beber el vino que he mezclado, dejen su ignorancia y vivirán. Ahora bien, el manjar y la bebida son apetitosos tan solo para aquellos que tienen salud, hambre y sed; lo cual quiere decir que tendrán acceso a la sabiduría únicamente aquellos que la desean y la buscan de verdad y disponen espacio para ella en su corazón. El que viene con el estómago lleno no puede comer ni beber, y al que tiene su corazón y su pensamiento llenos de sí mismo o de cosas triviales, no le queda espacio para la sabiduría verdadera. Jesús, siguiendo el mismo sentido figurado del libro de los Proverbios, nos convida a comer su carne y a beber su sangre, no ciertamente en el sentido material y literal, sino espiritual y místico; para que, unidos a Él íntimamente por la fe y el amor sin reserva alguna, con un verdadero deseo semejante al que tiene hambre y sed, percibamos su presencia y nos identifiquemos con Él. Y, para que nos quedase constancia sensible de su estrecha proximidad, nos dejó el pan y el vino. Así, cuando comemos el pan y bebemos el vino de la Eucaristía, Jesús, que es la sabiduría de Dios, esta realmente con nosotros produciendo lo efectos admirables de su contacto personal: El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre habita en mí y yo en él. Ese tiene vida eterna, y yo lo resucitaré en el último día. Cuando recibimos la Comunión atentos a su significado profundo, estamos en las mejores condiciones posibles para acceder a la sabiduría y a los beneficios de su amor infinito. El momento sagrado de la comunión debería ser el más deseado preparado y consciente de nuestra vida espiritual.
Nuestro organismo necesita de todo para poder vivir: vitaminas, proteínas, para ello ingerimos distintos tipos de alimentos. Todo lo que necesita nuestra vida espiritual lo tenemos en Jesús. ¡Cuantas personas acuden en busca de alimento espiritual a muchas mesas y a muchos platos, pero de ninguno salen satisfechos! ¿Qué es en el fondo el ser humano sin sino un buscador de eternidad que quiere ser saciado por alguien que de verdad llene su vida? Preguntémonos si realmente vivimos la Eucaristía, si la Eucaristía es importante en nuestra vida. Haciendo eco de la Palabra de Dios Cuando comemos el cuerpo y bebemos la sangre de Cristo nos hacemos un poco más cristianos. Los primeros cristianos decían “no podemos vivir sin celebrar el día del Señor”. Cuando celebramos el día del Señor y compartimos su mesa nos comprometemos a: Mejorar nuestras vidas. Crear unidad. Compartir nuestro pan. Amar a los hermanos. Luchar por la justicia y la paz. Abrir nuestros corazones a todo lo que es bueno. Ser fieles a esta mesa, la mesa del Señor. Discernir tanta necedad de tantos anuncios de consumo. La dieta de Jesús contra las dietas de adelgazamiento.

Fiesta de María: 22 de agosto Realeza de María Por siglos, los fieles aclamaron a Jesús como Rey de reyes y Señor de Señores. Era, por consiguiente, lógico que su Madre tuviera también una dignidad real. Papas y doctores de la iglesia, durante toda la historia, celebraron esta profunda convicción de los fieles. En 1954, el Papa Pío XII en su encíclica Ad Coeli Reginam reafirmó esta devoción, concediendo el deseo de los fieles e instituyendo la fiesta de la Realeza de María el 22 de agosto. Dice Pío XII en su carta: “Con la certeza de la fe sabemos que Jesucristo es rey en el sentido más absoluto de la palabra, porque es verdadero Dios y verdadero hombre. Esto, sin embargo, no impide que María comparta estas prerrogativas reales...porque fue la Madre de Cristo y Cristo es Dios; ella compartió en la obra del divino Redentor, en su lucha contra los enemigos, y en el triunfo que alcanzó sobre ellos...Sin duda, nuestra santa Virgen posee una dignidad superior a la de las demás criaturas. A los ojos de su Hijo, ella esta por encima de todos los demás...Animados por esta piedad y fe, gloriémonos en estar sujetos al dominio de la Virgen Madre de Dios; ella lleva el cetro, pero su corazón siempre esta ardiendo de amor maternal”. (Pío XII, Ad Coeli Reginam) ©Nuestra Parroquia 2012 Un pensamiento: La complacencia es el despertar del corazón; el amor es la acción. San Francisco de Sales
