From the Desk of Father Jonathan

One of the takeaways from the brutal death of Lesandro "Junior" Guzman this Summer was the need for more safe and productive activities for our youth, especially during the several hours after school and before parents return from work. With this in mind, we have been working with local politicians and charitable individuals to find the funding and build the structure for this type of programming at Mt. Carmel. I'm happy to say that we have secured initial funding for this project and will be moving forward in the Fall with an after-school pilot program. Catholic Charities of New York is partnering with us to manage this ministry. Over the next few weeks, Michelle Bialeck, a long-time organizer within our Bronx community, and Sofia Hernandez (the Assistant Director of Youth Ministry at Mt. Carmel) will be canvassing the community to determine the specific needs and interests of the families and young people. While the easiest pro-gram to fill-up and execute would be for young children, we want to focus on older kids, probably middle school and high school aged. These are critical years when our youth can either be directed toward the good or fall into the grips of evil. Please pray for this ministry. We will keep everyone informed of ways you can contribute your time and talent to form our youth. Of course, the goal of all that we do at Mt. Carmel, for both adults and children, is the same as the Church's mission, to help us live in communion with God, to become the people he created us to be, and to announce the Good News of Jesus Christ to our neighborhood.

God bless, Father Jonathan

Giuseppe Vedovino and all the faithful departed

GOD’S WORK We are so busy! Most of us have more than one job to do, and we never seem to have enough time. We are workers, volunteers, parents, friends, and most of us are more than one thing at a time. But which of these is the work of God? We seldom view our ordinary work as being the work of God. We may think that we have to be ministers or priests, missionaries or charity workers, engaged full-time in works formally identified as being “God’s work.” But everything we do with a faithful heart and with love for others is God’s work. We each have our own role to fill in the world, and many gifts are necessary. We cannot always see the direct connection of our daily work to the plan of God. But we trust and we believe that God leads us to do what is needed, where it is needed. What is “God’s work?” “This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent” (John 6:29).

IL LAVORO DI DIO

Il Vangelo secondo san Giovanni ci offre vari discorsi che Gesù ha tenuto nella sinagoga di Cafarnao per spiegare ai credenti il significato della manna ricevuta nel deserto. Queste spiegazioni devono aiutare i credenti del tempo della Chiesa a vivere in modo giusto. Il Vangelo di oggi riferisce il discorso che parla dell’importanza della fede in Gesù Cristo. Gesù Cristo è l’inviato di Dio, egli porta l’ultima rivelazione ed apre la via che conduce a Dio. Colui che segue Gesù con fede, che entra con Gesù nella comunità mediante il battesimo, che prende Gesù come modello e lo ascolta, troverà attraverso di lui la verità che calma la fame di vita. Perché questa verità è Dio stesso che, attraverso Gesù Cristo, offre a tutti gli uomini la possibilità di condividere la sua vita. Quello che hanno cercato, presentito, e in parte riconosciuto i pensatori, i profeti e i nostalgici di Dio di tutte le nazioni e di tutti i tempi, raggiunge attraverso Gesù la chiarezza e la verità di Dio. Questa verità è presente e può essere colta nella parola e nell’esempio di Gesù, ma soprattutto nella sua persona. Perché egli è la verità, egli è la via, egli è la vita di Dio in persona! E ci è offerto di vivere con devoto rispetto in modo assolutamente diretto, oggi, nella festa liturgica della

sua Chiesa. © lachiesa.it

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In 1794, a young Irishwoman befriended two widows aboard ship while emigrating to America. They bought a house in Philadelphia and began to live a community life under the direction of a priest. Soon they relocated to Washington. There, the “pious ladies,” as the neighbors called them, were asked by their priest friend, by then the president of Georgetown University, to begin a religious community. In 1799 they established a branch of the Vis-itation Order founded by Saint Jane de Chantal and Saint Francis de Sales in the 1620s. The unique vision of this order followed a sensible routine, less arduous and more flexible than most traditions, and also accepted widows and older women. Amazingly, this American outpost of the Visitation began without ref-erence to the “rule” of the Order. Most of the European convents had been lost under the “reign of terror,” and the rules and customs of the community could not be obtained. A copy of the rule was discovered in 1812, and in 1816 the pope officially established the monastery. By then, some French nuns had regrouped, and they sent a habit and cross to be copied. (No religious wore the habit in public in the United States until after the Civil War.) From the begin-ning, the Georgetown nuns had an educational mission, even though they discovered in the “rule” that such work was officially off-limits for the contemplative life. In America, the nuns depended on a school for their liveli-hood, so the rule was adapted. Today, the Academy of the Visitation is a thriving example of excellence in Catholic education, and the adjacent monastery is the oldest monas-tic foundation in the original thirteen United States.

NO HARSHNESS

Fight all error, but do it with good humor, patience, kindness, and love. Harshness will damage your own soul and spoil the best cause.

—St. John Kanty

EL TRABAJO QUE DIOS QUIERE ¡Estamos tan ocupados! Muchos de nosotros tenemos más de un trabajo y parecería que nunca tenemos suficiente tiempo. Somos trabajadores, voluntarios, padres, amigos y la mayoría es más de una cosa a la vez. Pero, ¿cuál de estos es el trabajo que Dios quiere? Rara vez vemos nuestro trabajo común como el trabajo que Dios quiere. Quizás pensamos que debemos ser ministros o sacerdotes, misioneros o benefactores, que debemos realizar trabajos de tiempo completo que se consideran como “las obras de Dios”. Pero todo lo que hacemos con un corazón fiel y con amor por el prójimo es una obra de Dios. Cada uno tiene un papel que cumplir en el mundo y muchos dones son necesarios. No siempre podemos ver la relación directa que existe entre nuestro trabajo diario y los designios de Dios. Pero confiamos y tenemos fe en que Dios nos guía a hacer lo que es necesario, cuando es necesario. ¿Cuál es “la obra de Dios?” “La obra de Dios consiste en que crean en aquél a quien él ha enviado” (Juan 6:29).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Y el día 6 de agosto de 1726, Fray Antonio Margil de Jesús, el fundador de las misiones en Texas dijo “Ya es hora de ir a ver a Dios” y tomó su último paso. Desde su llegada a América en 1683 el indomable Hermano Menor trazó caminos para llevar el Evangelio de Jesu-cristo a los nativos. Él emprendía sus caminos al estilo de los primeros misioneros seráficos de dos en dos, a pie, descalzo, ali-mentado sólo por virtud de la generosidad de los fieles, pasando las noches donde pudiera, armado sólo de un crucifijo, un bastón y su libro de oraciones y cantando mientras caminaba. De esta manera propagó la fe cami-nando hacia el norte llegando a la Bahía del Espíritu Santo en el Misisipí; y hacia el sur, llegando al istmo de Panamá. A pesar del éxito de sus esfuerzos misioneros, Mar-gil fue un hombre humilde que nunca quiso enorgulle-cerse de sus victorias. Solía firmar sus cartas “la misma nada” recordando así que Dios es todo y uno no es nada, porque la misión, en fin, es de Dios, uno es sólo un ins-trumento.
