From the Pastors Desk

Dear friends, Summer is finally here! This coming July 1st is the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the universal church calendar. It is also Eucharist Day for the Rogationist Fathers. The origin of the Eucharist Day dates back to 1886. Fr. Hannibal DiFrancia introduced this beautiful practice after he dedicated the chapel he built at the Avignone Quarter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Church authorities would have made it very easy to have the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel, but Fr. Hannibal had other plans. He believed that the day Jesus would start dwelling sacramentally day and night among the poor of his heart in that place should not be an ordinary day. Therefore, he began to excite the childrens holy anticipation by teaching them about the importance of the coming event and by exhorting faith, love, and the desire for Jesus. To achieve this, he composed verses set to music: Heavens of heavens, unfold, descend on us our delight Both preparation and anticipation grew with great fervor. The day came and Mass was celebrated at 7:00 am. With proper exhortation the orphans received the bread of angels. After communion, Fr. Hannibal explained how blessed were those in the Quarter, for the transformation of the slum into the royal palace of the King of kings, and for having the adorable Savior of souls in their midst. Hence it was their duty to keep him company. Shortly after the presentation, the orphans holding candles as well as the poor walked before the Blessed Sacrament through the alleys of Avignone and a street of the city. After a short walk, the procession returned to the chapel, the Eucharist was placed on the throne among burning candles and remained exposed all day long. Hymns were sung and prayers were said one after another as the children and adults worshiped the Lord. In the evening, a solemn benediction concluded the memorable day. The celebration actually continued till Sunday. Both the male and female communities had dinner outdoors. Francesco Zancone, the first poor man Fr. Hannibal met in Avignone, sat at the head of the table. The Congregation of the Rogationists of the Heart of Jesus and the Daughters of Divine Zeal, the two religious communities founded by Fr. Hannibal, celebrate the anniversary of this arrival of the Blessed Sacrament in the first chapel of the institute every July 1st since then. You are all invited to join us to prepare for this special feast with a triduum beginning this Tuesday at 6:00 pm in the old church for three consecutive days. The feast itself will be celebrated on Friday with the opening eucharistic adoration and vespers at 5:30 pm, Mass at 6:30 pm, and the concluding eucharistic benediction after 7:30 pm. A potluck reception will follow at the parish hall. As you can see now, summer is not a time to go on vacation from the Lord. It is rather a time to intensify our faith in Him and to thank him for all his gifts. It is also a time to examine how we are doing with the gifts God has given and continues to give us: of our lives, faith, family, friends, work, health, etc. Remember, God can never be outdone in generosity. Peace and love, Fr. Peter

Send, O Lord, holy apostles into your Church.

Living the Good News

The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ June 26, 2011 First Reading -- Never forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery and fed you with manna in the desert (Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a). Psalm -- Praise the Lord, Jerusalem (Psalm 147). Second Reading -- Because the loaf of bread is one, we who partake of it, though we are many, are one body (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). Gospel -- Jesus said to the crowds, "I am the living bread; whoever eats this bread will live forever" (John 6:51-58). Food from Heaven God sustained the people of Israel for forty years in the desert with manna sent down from heaven, and Moses doesn't want them to forget it. God brought forth water from stone for them to drink, and Moses doesn't want them to forget this, either. And Moses tells them--twice-that the food that God sent was a food that neither they nor their ancestors before them had ever experienced before. Jesus, too, speaks of food come down from heaven, food that the Jewish people had never experienced before. Recalling the manna in the desert, Jesus doesn't want them to forget it either, explaining that he is the food and drink of eternal life. And Paul reiterates to the Corinthians and to all of us that in the bread and in the cup, we share in the body and blood of Christ. Question of the Week What is one thing that I can do this week to make Christ present to others so that they experience him through my words and actions? What is one thing that I can do this week to make my participation during Mass more meaningful to me and to my friends? The Corpus Christi Procession In the thirteenth century, a Belgian nun by the name of Juliana had a vision: she saw the full moon silvery and radiant except for one dark spot. The meaning of the vision was revealed to her: the moon was the Church's liturgical year, the dark spot a missing feast in honor of the Blessed Sacrament. Today's feast of Corpus Christi-the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ--grew from Juliana's vision. On this feast, many parishes observe the traditional Corpus Christi procession, giving honor to the Eucharist by carrying this greatest treasure out of the safety of our churches and into our streets. At the end of every Mass we are not just let out, we are sent forth, strengthened by the Eucharist, to be the Body of Christ in the world. The Corpus Christi procession is the dismissal writ large! We take Jesus with us, not only in our hearts, but carried in our midst and exposed in a monstrance. It is a public profession of faith and a blessing of the world. Jesus walks with us on these streets that we walk day after day, among those who know him but yearn to know him better, and among those who do not know him. The Eucharist is a mystery to be believed, to be celebrated--and to be lived.

Vivir las Buenas Noticias

El Santsimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo 26 de junio, 2011 Primera lectura -- El hombre no vive solamente de pan, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios (Deuteronomio 8:2-3, 14b-16a). Salmo -- Glorifica al Seor, Jerusaln (Salmo 147 [146]). Segunda lectura -- El pan es uno, y as nosotros, aunque somos muchos, formamos un solo cuerpo (1 Corintios 10:16-17). Evangelio -- El que come mi carne y bebe mi sangre, tiene vida eterna (Juan 6:51-58). Alimento Celestial Dios sostent al pueblo de Israel por cuarenta aos en el desierto con man venido del cielo, y Moiss no quiere que lo olviden. Dios hizo brotar agua de la roca para que bebieran, y Moiss tampoco quiere que olviden esto. Y Moiss se lo dice -dos veces--que el alimento que Dios envi era comida que ni ellos ni sus antepasados jams haban probado antes. Jess, tambin habla del pan venido del cielo, comida que el pueblo judo jams haba probado antes. Recordando el man del desierto, Jess tampoco quiere que ellos lo olviden, explicndoles que l es pan y bebida para la vida eterna. Y Pablo les reitera a los corintios y a todos nosotros que en el pan y en la copa participamos en el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Preguntas para dialogar Qu puedo hacer esta semana para hacer que Cristo est presente en la vida de otros a travs de mis palabras y acciones? Qu puedo hacer esta semana para que mi participacin en la Misa tenga ms significado para m y para mis amigos? Fiesta de la Fe El pan es un alimento ordinario, es propio de ricos y pobres. Hay que trabajar para conseguirlo. As como es de real, tiene mucho de simblico. Pap y mam se alegran en poder llevar a casa el pan de los hijos, para compartirlo con todos, indistintamente de su grado de bondad. Para los judos del Mediterrneo, el pan, mezclado con aceite era el elemento ms comn de su alimentacin. El pan de trigo lo coman los ricos, mientras que los pobres coman el pan de cebada. An as, el pan es sabroso y lleva en l la providencia divina que cuida de nosotros. Se recibe, incluso, de manos de los pobres, quienes comparten su propio pan porque saben lo que es carecer de l. Al compartirlo, cumplimos el mandato de Jess: "tomen y coman". Por eso es que nuestro pan se ha de poner en la mesa, para ser compartido, slo as tiene sentido. Alimentados todos del mismo pan, en la misma mesa, esperando la misma promesa. Comer o no comer.

Enva, Seor, apstoles santos a tu Iglesia

DO NOT FEAR Stanley Francis Rother was born in Oklahoma. He recognized a priestly vocation in his teens, but after five years in the seminary he was turned away. His bishop believed the best priests are not necessarily the intellectuals, but the most committed, so he enrolled Stan in another seminary where the young man studied diligently. After ordination in 1963, Father Rother served five years in parishes before volunteering for mission work in western Guatemala. He ministered to people's spiritual needs, learned the Tzutuhil language, and taught people to read, write, and do basic math. He built a small hospital. Right-wing elites and the military ruled Guatemala. They blamed the Church for "civil unrest." In 1981 beatings, tortures, and murders escalated. Yet Father Rother stayed because he believed Jesus' words, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul" (Matthew 10:28). He was shot by a death squad. His body lies in Oklahoma, but his heart is buried among the Tzutuhil people. Living Stewardship Many missionaries are risking their lives for Christ today. Find a priest, religious, or lay person serving in some dangerous or difficult place and send them e-mails, letters, packages of useful materials, donations, and prayers. Your support can help give them the courage to continue.

NO TENGAN MIEDO
Stanley Francis Rother naci en Oklahoma. Reconoci ya desde la adolescencia su llamado al sacerdocio, pero despus de cinco aos en el seminario lo despidieron. Mas, su obispo crea que los mejores sacerdotes no eran necesariamente los intelectuales, sino los comprometidos, por eso matricul a Stan en otro seminario donde el joven estudi diligentemente. Despus de su ordenacin en 1963 el padre Rother sirvi cinco aos en parroquias antes de ofrecerse para una misin en la regin occidental de Guatemala. All atendi las necesidades espirituales de la gente, aprendi el idioma Tzutuhil, y ense a leer y escribir, y tambin una matemtica bsica. Construy adems un hospital pequeo. La lite derechista y los militares que gobernaban Guatemala culpaban a la Iglesia por los "disturbios civiles". En 1981 las golpizas, las torturas y los asesinatos escalaron. Con todo y eso el padre Rother se qued porque crea en las palabras de Jesus: "No teman a los que slo pueden matar el cuerpo, pero no el alma" (Mateo 10:28). Fue asesinado por un escuadrn de la muerte y su cuerpo yace en Oklahoma, pero su corazn fue enterrado en el pueblo de Tzutuhil.

La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora Muchos misioneros arriesgan hoy su vida por Cristo. Busca un sacerdote, religioso o religiosa, o una persona laica que trabaje en un lugar difcil o peligroso y envales correos-e, cartas, materiales tiles, donaciones y oraciones. Tu apoyo puede ayudarles y animarles para continuar su misin.

We ask that the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for us, and Saint Therese, our patroness, join us in this prayer, which we make through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
