A Letter from Father... Page 2 August 28, 2016

HUMILITY

Have you ever been in a group of people—maybe on a tour, at a social gathering, or at church—and discovered that you have just been talking with a well-known author, corporate CEO, great scholar or politician? Your first thought is the hope that you didn’t say anything to embarrass yourself; but your second thought is how much they seemed like such “regular” folks. What is it that makes people seem so “regular”? Today’s readings give us a clue when they stress the importance of humility. It is so hard for us not to tell the first person who will listen how busy we are, how hard we work, how much money we donate and how important our job titles are. We think these accolades make a difference to people and if we don’t tell them, how will they ever know? But if our actions demonstrate our values, people will recognize our worth on their own. The words of Jesus show us how much better it is to let someone else recognize our worth than to be embarrassed because someone did not.

HUMILDAD ¿Has estado alguna vez con un grupo de personas –quizás en un crucero, en una reunión social, o en la iglesia– y descubres que has estado hablando con un autor muy conocido, un alto ejecutivo de una empresa poderosa, un gran intelectual o una figura política? Tu primer pensamiento es que ojalá no hayas dicho nada embarazoso, pero el segundo es tu asombro al notar que se comporten como una persona “normal”. ¿Qué es lo que hace a una persona “normal”? Las lecturas de hoy nos dan una pista cuando ponen de relieve la importancia de la humildad. Es tan difícil no decirle a la primera persona que nos escuche lo ocupados que estamos, lo mucho que trabajamos, cuánto dinero donamos y cuán importantes son nuestros títulos en el trabajo. Pensamos que estas distinciones tienen influencia en las personas, y si no se lo decimos, ¿cómo van a saberlo? Pero si nuestras acciones demuestran nuestros valores, la gente reconocerá lo que valemos, por sí solas. Las palabras de Jesús nos muestran que es mucho mejor dejar que los demás reconozcan nuestros méritos que apenarnos porque al-guien no los reconoce.

Next Sunday, September 4th, we will return to our Regular Mass Hours:

Saturday Vigil; 8:00 AM, Sunday 7:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 11:30 AM ( English) and 5:00 PM (Español)

NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR PEACE

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishop is calling for a Day of Prayer for Peace in our Communities on Friday, September 9, 2016. Recent months of escalating violence continues to gravely harm our local communities. As people of faith we turn to the power

of prayer to shine the light of Christ into areas of darkness. Therefore, as family you are invited to bring next week, September 3rd and 4th, a candle that will be blessed at Mass. Then, Friday, September 9, 2016, as a family you will be asked to light your blessed candle in your home while offering the prayer for peace. Included with the Prayer will be a reflection question for personal or family reflec-tion . Let us all join in This National Day of Prayer for Peace in our Communities.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Perhaps the most familiar traditional symbol that identifies bishops is the crosier that they carry. We see the shepherd’s staff and immediately rich images from scripture come to mind, as well as the recollection that the first to respond to Christ’s presence in our world were the shepherds. The staff is more than a walk-ing stick; its crooked top is useful in snaring errant sheep but also in keeping the flock united. Bishops carry the curve outward, indicating their ministry to the wider flock, while abbots (and some abbesses, too) carry the crosier with the curve pointing in, indicating that their ministry is to the monastery alone. The crosier was once also carried by the pope, but was phased out centuries ago. You may recall that in pre-“popemobile” days, the pope was often carried around on a portable throne called a sedia gestatoria. Since he didn’t do much walking, the need for a crosier was minimal. Pope Paul VI introduced the innova-tion of a walking staff in the 1960s and everyone remembers Pope John Paul II’s walking staff, not a crook, but a delicately sculptured crucifix. Thus, the pope carries a “pastoral staff” rather than a crosier. Precisely because the pope’s ministry is universal, to the whole world, popes will likely leave crosiers in the hands of the bishops they commission for care of specific flocks.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Por esta época recordamos la natividad de María, madre de Jesús. María es muy popular entre muchos pueblos y en especial en los pueblos latinos. Al principio del mes de septiembre dos naciones toman la fies-ta de su nacimiento para recordarla bajo el titulo de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba y de Nuestra Señora de Coromoto en Venezuela. La Virgen del Cobre fue descubierta en el siglo XVI por dos indígenas y un niño africano llamados los tres Juanes, cuando estos fueron al mar en busca de sal. Después de una fuerte tempestad ellos encontraron flotando sobre las olas una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios en brazos. La imagen flotaba sobre una tabla que decía yo soy la Virgen de la Caridad. Milagrosamente la imagen estaba seca. También en el siglo XVI la Virgen se le apareció al cacique de los indígenas Coromoto en Venezuela. Estos resistían la evangelización y ella se apareció sobre las aguas invitándolos al bautizo cristiano. Estas dos manifestaciones marianas llevan a Jesús en brazos recordándonos que María nada puede sin Cristo.
