17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“God is rich in mercy . . .” Ephesians 2:4

L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and

love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today

against violence, murder and racism.

We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the

life and dignity of all people.

Bless parents that they may form their chil-dren in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost

loved ones through violence.

Hear our prayer and give us the persever-ance to be a voice for life and human dignity

in our community.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help

us.

Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we

may be a holy family.

8:30 am Mass Entrance All Are Welcome

1. Let us build a house

where love can dwell

And all can safely live,

A place where

saints and children tell

How hearts learn to forgive.

Built of hopes and dreams and visions,

Rock of faith and vault of grace;

Here the love of Christ shall

end divisions:

Refrain

All are welcome, all are welcome,

all are welcome in this place.

2. Let us build a house

where prophets speak,

And words are strong and true,

Where all God's children dare to seek

To dream God's reign anew.

Here the cross shall stand as witness

And a symbol of God's grace;

Here as one we claim the faith of Jesus:

3. Let us build a house where

love is found

In water, wine and wheat:

A banquet hall on holy ground,

Where peace and jus5ce meet.

Here the love of God, through Jesus,

Is revealed in 5me and space;

As we share in Christ the

feast that frees us:


hands will reach

Beyond the wood and stone

To heal and strengthen,

serve and teach,

And live the Word they've known.

Here the outcast and the stranger

Bear the image of God's face;

Let us bring an end to fear and danger:


all are named,

Their songs and visions heard

And loved and treasured,

taught and claimed

As words within the Word.

Built of tears and cries and laughter,

Prayers of faith and songs of grace,

Let this house proclaim from

floor to raQer:

Immediately, we got into work:

Continued from Last Sunday: - As I stated in the first article, the Church teaches that: “At a lower level of the hierarchy are deacons, upon whom hands are imposed ‘not unto the priesthood’ but unto a ministry of service.” This service is both to the Bishop and his priests, as well as the entire peo-ple of God. Thus, The Church specifically mentioned that: “It is the duty of the deacon, according as it shall have been assigned to him by competent authority, to administer bap-tism solemnly, to be custodian and dispenser of the Eucha-rist, to assist at and bless marriages in the name of the Church, to bring Viaticum to the dying, to read the Sacred Scripture to the faithful, to instruct and exhort the people, to preside over the worship and prayer of the faithful, to ad-minister sacramentals, to officiate at funeral and burial ser-vices.” (LG. no.29). We have been prepared, throughout the years of Seminary training/formation, for these noble duties and we are joyful-ly and confidently carrying them out in the various parishes we have been assigned to. I felt so thrilled, I felt the awe when I was holding the celebrant Chalice for the Archbishop while he prays the Doxology at Our Ordination Mass. God made me begin my service to the Bishop just a few minutes after I became a deacon. What a privilege!!!. As we conclude this weeks of reflection on the Rite of Ordi-nation of Deacon, I beg you to continue to pray for me. Pray for my colleagues ordained with me. Pray for all the semi-narians in formation in the seminary and pray for the in-crease in the number of Vocations. Ask that God who has begun this GOOD WORKGOOD WORKGOOD WORKGOOD WORK in us will bring it to fulfilment. The End – I am happy to be Deacon Francis

Psalm 68:36 The following line in the psalm reads, “Too “Too “Too “Too many for my strength are my treacherous ene-many for my strength are my treacherous ene-many for my strength are my treacherous ene-many for my strength are my treacherous ene-mies.” mies.” mies.” mies.” Yes, today we Christians are wary of our foes for they seem bent on destroying our faith in order to force us to comply with their agenda. Of ourselves we really are not strong enough to withstand the coming as-saults. However, the God we believe in, the God we serve, is invincible. He alone can bring us to victory. When the storm threatened to sink the boat in which the apostles were sailing across the sea of Galilee as Jesus slept, He woke up and said, “Why are you terrified , O you of “Why are you terrified , O you of “Why are you terrified , O you of “Why are you terrified , O you of little faith” little faith” little faith” little faith” Matt. 8:26. He immediately calmed the sea by bringing it under His control, and peace returned. Jesus will use our limited faith and bring victory out of ap-parent defeat; our role is to call out to Him as the apostles did. It is not too late. The mercy flowing from the Sacred Heart of Jesus is more than enough for us all and available to all who cry out in humility and trust, “Lord, save us! We “Lord, save us! We “Lord, save us! We “Lord, save us! We are perishing.” are perishing.” are perishing.” are perishing.” His grace is enough for us. Invite Jesus into your hearts and homes by enthroning the Sacred Heart and you too will experience miracles.

Continuación del domingo pasado: - Como dije en el primer artículo, la Iglesia enseña que: "En un nivel inferior de la je-rarquía, están los diáconos, a quienes se les imponen las manos 'no al sacerdocio' sino, hasta un ministerio de servi-cio." Este servicio es tanto para el Obispo, y para los sacerdo-tes, así como todo del pueblo de Dios. Por lo tanto, la Iglesia menciona específicamente que: "Es deber del diácono, con-forme a lo que se le haya asignado por la autoridad compe-tente, para administrar el bautismo solemne, para ser custo-dio, y para administrar la Eucaristía, para asistir, y bendecir al matrimonio en nombre de la Iglesia, para llevar los Santos Oleos a los moribundos, leer la Sagrada Escritura a los fieles, instruir, y exhortar al pueblo, presidir el culto, y la oración de los fieles, administrar los sacramentos, para oficiar en el funeral, y los servicios funerarios”. (LG. No.29). Se nos ha preparado, a través de los años de entrenamiento / forma-ción en el seminario, para estas tareas nobles, con alegría, y con confianza lo estamos llevando a cabo en las distintas parroquias donde se nos ha asignado. Me sentí muy emocio-nado, sentí el asombro cuando estaba sosteniendo el Cáliz de celebración para el arzobispo, mientras él rezaba la Doxo-logía en Nuestra Misa de Ordenación. Dios me hizo comenzar mi servicio con el Obispo, a pocos minutos después de ha-ber sido un diácono. ¡Qué privilegio! Al concluir esta semana de reflexión sobre el Rito de la orde-nación de diácono, le ruego que continúen orando por mí. Oren por mis colegas ordenados conmigo. Oremos por todos los seminaristas en formación en el seminario, y orar por el aumento en el número de vocaciones. Pida a Dios, que ha comenzado esta BUENA OBRABUENA OBRABUENA OBRABUENA OBRA en nosotros, para que la po-damos cumplir. -El final- Estoy feliz de ser el diácono Francis-co.

Dios es Temible desde Su Santuario, él es el Dios de Israel, él da Dios es Temible desde Su Santuario, él es el Dios de Israel, él da Dios es Temible desde Su Santuario, él es el Dios de Israel, él da Dios es Temible desde Su Santuario, él es el Dios de Israel, él da fuerza, y poder a su pueblo. Bendito sea Dios. Salmo 68:36fuerza, y poder a su pueblo. Bendito sea Dios. Salmo 68:36fuerza, y poder a su pueblo. Bendito sea Dios. Salmo 68:36fuerza, y poder a su pueblo. Bendito sea Dios. Salmo 68:36 La siguiente línea en el salmo dice: "Mucha de mi fortaleza, viene "Mucha de mi fortaleza, viene "Mucha de mi fortaleza, viene "Mucha de mi fortaleza, viene de de de de mis enemigos traicioneros."mis enemigos traicioneros."mis enemigos traicioneros."mis enemigos traicioneros." Sí, hoy en día los cristianos somos cuidadosos con nuestros enemigos que parecen empeñados en destruir nuestra fe, con el fin de obligarnos a cumplir con su agenda. De nosotros mismos, es que realmente no somos lo suficientemente fuertes como para resistir los próximos asaltos. Sin embargo, el Dios en quien creemos, el Dios al que servimos, es invencible. Sólo Él, nos puede llevar a la victoria. Cuando la tormenta amenazaba con hundir la barca en el que los apóstoles estaban navegando, a través del mar de Galilea, Jesús dormía. Él se despertó, y les dijo: "¿Por qué tienen miedo, hombres de poca fe?" Mat. 08:26. Él, de inmediato calmó el mar, llevándolo bajo su control, y la paz regresó. Jesús utiliza nuestra fe limitada, y trae la victoria de la aparente derrota; nuestro papel, es llamarlo como lo hicieron los apóstoles. No es demasiado tarde. La misericordia fluye desde el Sagrado Cora-zón de Jesús, es más que suficiente para todos, y está disponi-ble para todos los que claman con humildad, y confianza, "Señor, sálvanos! Estamos pereciendo."Señor, sálvanos! Estamos pereciendo."Señor, sálvanos! Estamos pereciendo."Señor, sálvanos! Estamos pereciendo. "Su gracia es suficiente para nosotros. Invite a Jesús a su corazón, y a su hogar, al entro-nizar al Sagrado Corazón, y usted también, experimentará mila-gros.

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself en-tirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.

Acto de Comunión Espiritual

Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te

amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no pue-do recibirte sacramental-mente, al me-

nos ven a mi corazón espiritual-mente. Como ya has venido, Yo te abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.
