Mass IntentionsMass Intentions AUGUST 29, 2021

The Gospel today hits home closer than we may think. What traditions do we blindly cling to? Perhaps it is enough for us just to go to Mass on Sunday? Do we keep the letter of the law and miss entirely

the spirit of the law. Interior righteousness means a heart turned to God. Purity of heart is expressed in righteous living: self-giving for the sake of others. As you give your gift to the poor through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in your heart you also will find the good news of God’s love. El mensaje del Evangelio de hoy nos llega mas cerca al corazan de lo que nos imaginamos. Cuales tradiciones seguimos ciegamente? Quizas es sufi-ciente assistir a la Santa Misa cada Domingo? Nos mantenemos a la letra de ley pero se nos escapa suu espiritu? Honestidad interior significa un Corazon dirigido a Dios. Pureza de Corazon es expresado en una vida recta: generosidad por el bien de otros. Asi como presentas tu regalo a los pobres por medio de la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl de nuestra parroquia, en tu Corazon tambien hallaras la Buena Nueva del amor de Dios.

Please keep them and all those enrolled in our Purgatorial Society in your prayers.

American’s celebration of Labor Day began in 1878 in Boston. It became a federal holiday in

1894. It originated as an opportunity for workers to unite in mutual support and evolved into a cele-

bration of the dignity of honest work and the faithful work-er. No one is ever demeaned by the work he or she does – just as no one is made “a better person” because of the nature of his or her work. The quality of labor is based not on what we do but on how and why we do it. Today, let us examine how we do the tasks God places before us and be grateful for those who make our lives easier by doing their jobs well. La celebración de American del Día del Trabajo comenzó en 1878 en Boston. Se convirtió en feriado federal en 1894. Se originó como una oportunidad para que los trabajadores se unieran en apoyo mutuo y se convirtió en una celebración de la dignidad del trabajo honesto y del trabajador fiel. Nadie se degrada nunca por el trabajo que hace, al igual que nadie se convierte en "una mejor persona" debido a la naturaleza de su trabajo. La calidad del trabajo no se basa en lo que hacemos, sino en cómo y por qué lo hacemos. Hoy, examinemos cómo hacemos las tareas que Dios nos pone ante nosotros y estemos agradecidos por aquellos que nos hacen la vida más fácil haci-endo bien su trabajo.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective, in-cluding against the new variants.

Scientists used decades of research for other vaccines to develop COVID-19 vaccines. The vaccines went through large clinical studies that showed they protect people from severe COVID-19 illness, hospitalization and death, and have been given safely to millions of people in the U.S.

COVID-19 vaccines are free. Insurance, social security number or sharing im-migration status is not required. Find a site to get vaccinated. To find a site to get vaccinated, visit nyc.gov/vaccinefinder, call

877-VAX-4NYC (877-829-4692), or scan the QR code. No appointment is needed at many sites. For free in-home vaccination, visit nyc.gov/homevaccine or call 877-829-4692.

You may experience some side effects. Common side effects include arm soreness, headache, body aches, tiredness and fever.

Serious side effects are very rare. The vaccines do not contain the virus that causes COVID-19, change your DNA or give you COVID-19.

You can start easing precautions after being fully vaccinated. Once fully vaccinated, you can do many activities

without a face mask. However, we recommend you keep your mask on in all public indoor settings to protect oth-ers, including children under age 12 and people who are immunocompromised. Also, you must follow the mask requirements of any place you go, such as a business, school or workplace, or while using public transportation. If you have been exposed to COVID-19 or are symptomatic, get tested. People who are not fully vaccinated must continue to wear a face covering and maintain physical dis-tance whenever in public. They may also be asked to provide proof of a negative test to enter some settings or not be allowed altogether in others. The NYC Health Department may change recom-mendations as the situation evolves. For accommoda-tions (such as a wheelchair or ASL interpretation) at City-run vaccination sites, call 877-829-4692 or visit vax4nyc.nyc.gov ahead of time. To give feedback or file an accessibility complaint, call 311, text 311692 or email hubaccess@health.nyc.gov. For more information, visit nyc.gov/covidvaccine.

Las vacunas contra el COVID-19 son seguras y efec-tivas, inclusive contra las nuevas variantes. Los científicos se basaron en décadas de investi-

gación de otras vacunas para desarrollar las vacunas con-tra el COVID-19. Las vacunas fueron sometidas a im-portantes estudios clínicos, en los que se demostró que protegen a las personas contra la forma grave del COVID-19, la hospitalización y la muerte, y se han administrado de manera segura a millones de personas en los EE. UU.

Las vacunas contra el COVID-19 son gratuitas. No es necesario informar si tiene seguro médico, ni cuál es su número de Seguro Social o su estado migratorio. Busque un sitio para vacunarse. Para buscar un sitio donde vacu-narse, visite nyc.gov/vaccinefinder,

llame al 877-829-4692 o escanee el código QR. En muchos sitios, no se necesita pro-gramar una cita. Para solicitar la vacunación gratuita en su casa, visite nyc.gov/homevaccine o llame al 877-829-4692.

Puede presentar algunos efectos secundarios. Los efectos secundarios más comunes incluyen dolor en el brazo, dolor de cabeza, dolor cor-

poral, cansancio y fiebre. Los efectos secundarios graves son muy poco frecuentes. Las vacunas no contienen el virus que causa el COVID-19, no cambian su ADN ni lo contagian de COVID-19.

Puede comenzar a reducir las medidas de precau-ción una vez que esté completamente vacunado. Una vez que esté completamente vacunado, puede hacer muchas actividades sin usar una mascarilla.

Sin embargo, le recomendamos usar una mascarilla en todos los lugares públicos cerrados para proteger a los demás, inclui-dos los niños menores de 12 años y las personas que están inmunodeprimidas. Además, debe cumplir con los requisitos sobre el uso de las mascarillas de cualquier lugar al que vaya, por ejemplo, un negocio, la escuela o el lugar de trabajo, y cuan-do use el transporte público. Si ha estado expuesto al COVID-19 o presenta algún síntoma, hágase la prueba. Las personas que no estén completamente vacunadas deben continuar usando una cobertura facial y mantener el distanciamiento físico cuando estén en público. También es posible que se les pida que muestren una prueba de detección de COVID con resultado negativo para ingresar a algunos lugares o que no se les permita ingresar a otros. El Departamento de Salud de NYC puede modificar las recomendaciones a medida que la situación evoluciona. Si necesita alguna adaptación (como una silla de ruedas o inter-pretación del lenguaje de señas estadounidense) en los sitios de vacunación operados por la Ciudad, llame al 877-829-4692 o visite vax4nyc.nyc.gov con anticipación. Si quiere dejarnos un comentario o presentar un reclamo sobre accesibilidad, llame al 311, envíe un mensaje de texto al 311692 o envíe un correo elec-trónico a hubaess@health.nyc.gov. Para obtener más información, visite nyc.gov/covidvaccine.
