BLESSED, HEALTHY AND PROSPER

NEW YEAR!

We are getting to the end of the year, and 2015 was a very special year for all of us. We have celebrated a 100th anniversary of St. Anthony’s. As we celebrate, we also recalled our history, the beginning of the church, we remembered our ancestors, who built it, and today, we are St Anthony Church. Our pictures are in the centennial directory of the parish; Cardinal Sèan O’Malley came to celebrate with us. Many former parishioners were present. We were all delighted. St. Anthony feast was also a special occasion for being together both Americans and Brazilians alike. Coincidence, or not the Brazilian Community also celebrated 25th anniversary of its presence in the church. St. Anthony was one of the first parishes to welcome the Brazilian Immigrants. Therefore, we are grateful for that. Moreover, the church has been remolded, and the cafeteria and school hall renewed. It was really a year of blessings. The Community continues strong and vibrant. The New Year is around the corner. We welcome it with gratitude and joy. I would also like to thank you for your support and your generosity. You were always good to me, many thanks also to all the bingo Volunteers. They have done a great job throughout

the whole year. To both of you I would like to wish a very healthy, prosper and blessed New Year! God bless you! Fr. Ademir

HOLY FAMILY FEAST

Luke gives us a glimpse of the tension in Jesus, being the son of Mary and Joseph, and at the same time recognizing he was God’s Son and therefore had to be about his Father’s business. The fact that there was a tension in Jesus’ family makes it clear that the Holy Family was real because our families experience tension too. Though the life of any family includes challenges and stress, the life of the Holy Family encourages us to invest ourselves in the relationships that makes up family life. And each member of the Holy Family provides a model of certain values and virtues we can strive to imitate. Joseph, a man of few words but bold action, exemplifies the virtue of fidelity, which is so critical for family life. Mary, a woman who pondered all things in her heart, displays the faith and trust that are essential ingredients of authentic family relationships. Jesus, who strove always to do God’s will, even when it caused tension with his mother, exhibits the obedience to which all of us are called not only to God, but to our parents and siblings as we work to build our lives together. Like Jesus, each of us comes into the world as part of a family. And just as Jesus’ life with Joseph and Mary helped shape the man he grew into, our family forms us. The ups and downs of family life give us opportunities to offer love and forgiveness to others. Family life is most often and most profoundly deepened around the table where meals are shared. May our sharing of the Eucharistic meal nourish and deepen within each of us the desire to build good, loving families here on earth and live in perfect love and communion with God and the rest of the angels and saints in heaven.

MISSA do PRIMEIRO ANO 1 de Janeiro: 12:00 p.m.

FELIZ ANO NOVO!

Estamos chegando ao final de mais um ano: “Adeus ano velho, feliz Ano Novo, que tudo se realize no ano em vai nascer muito dinheiro no bolso saúde para dar e vender”. Muitos de nós recorda está música muitas vezes repetidas na TV. Para nós em particular este ano foi um ano especial: celebramos os 100 anos da paróquia Santo Antônio. Nossas fotos estão todas no livro do centenário, nossa festa junina foi um espetáculo e a celebração com o Cardeal Sèan O’Malley memorável. Tudo o que fizemos neste ano teve este sentimento de gratidão por estarmos aqui nesta igreja de Santo Antônio de Somerville, uma das primeiras a acolher os brasileiros neste país. Neste ano a Comunidade celebrou 25 anos de presença na igreja de Boston. Somos os continuadores das obra que início com os italianos, e gratos por todo este espaço que nos permite vivenciar nossa fé cristã, manter nossa cultura, e cultivar nossa tradição. Agora vamos saudar e dar as boas vindas ano novo ano com a festa da passagem de ano. Ao termino deste ano fica aquele sentimento gratificante por tudo o que realizamos: a igreja está refeita, o salão reconstruído e a comunidade se renovando, transformando-se numa comunidade que quer testemunhar a bondade e a misericórdia de Deus neste ano jubilar que a igreja celebra. Muito obrigado a todos os paroquianos pela sua oferte, principalmente, aos dizimistas pela sua generosidade que nos permite levar adiante as nossas obras de caridade. Obrigado a todos os grupos das pastorais, principalmente a catequese que exige uma dedicação constante e crescente. A todos quero desejar um Ano Novo de alegria, paz, saúde e prosperidade para que possamos ajudar sempre mais os mais necessitados. Muito obrigado a todos e um FELIZ ANO NOVO! Pe. Ademir

FESTA DA SAGRADA FAMILIA

Celebramos neste domingo a solenidade da Sagrada Família. Há um traço nos membros desta família, Jesus, Maria e José, que merece ser ressaltado desde já, a saber, a obediência a Deus. José é um homem justo que fez tudo conforme o Senhor lhe falou pelo anjo; Maria, serva fiel, se colocou inteiramente disponível à vontade de Deus; e Jesus, o Filho único

de Deus, resume numa frase, no momento mais angustiante da sua existência, no Getsemani, o que sustenta e orienta a sua vida “... não seja feito o que eu quero, mas o que tu queres”. Todo o relato do evangelho de hoje está centrado nas primeiras palavras de Jesus. Estas palavras estão voltadas para o futuro, evocam e confirmam a palavra do anjo a Maria, quando do anuncio do nascimento de Jesus: “será chamado filho do altíssimo”. Maria e José não compreenderam o significado do que ele lhes disseram. Certamente, foi desconcertante para eles. Ambos terão que fazer, como todo o discípulo, um longo itinerário de seguimento de Jesus, passando pelo drama da paixão e da morte, para, à luz da ressureição do Senhor, poderemos compreender que, aquele a quem eles haviam dado uma existência histórica, era o Filho de Deus. Maria guardava tudo no coração. O que é do mistério de Deus e do seu plano de salvação precisa ser tratado no âmbito do coração, pois ultrapassa o que a razão entregue a si mesma pode alcançar. É no coração que o mistério de Deus é acolhido e compreendido.

FESTA DA SAGRADA FAMILIA

Hoje vamos agradecer a Deus pelas nossas famílias, nossos pais, irmãos e irmãs, nossos filhos e filhas, netos... Todos eles são uma bênção de Deus. Por isso rezemos:
