Readings & Intentions
A Community Centered In Christ, Nurtured by the Sacraments & Teachings of the Church; Committed to Excellence In Education, Living A Life of Service, Leadership, and Compassion.
He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it. - Mk 8:34-35
A MESSAGE FROM
My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Our identity is one of the most important qualities
about ourselves – who we are, where we come
from, and where we are going. When we lose sight
of our sense of self or place in the world, we often
go through an “identity crisis”. In those moments,
we find ourselves asking: Who am I? How we an-
swer that can heal our past, define our present, and
redirect our future. Today, let us reflect on the important
themes of IDENTITY and MISSION in our Sunday Gospel.
Jesus knew his identity and mission as the Suffering Servant
prophesied in Isaiah, but the crowds who followed often mis-
understood or even rejected him. For this reason, Jesus asked
his disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" Once again, Peter
professes his faith: “You are the Christ.” Jesus not only affirms
this but also teaches them about discipleship: “Whoever wishes
to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow
me.” To his listeners, the cross evoked a chilling image of Ro-
man execution, unlike the way we see the cross today. Jesus
gives us the same criteria for discipleship. Are we willing to
follow him, knowing what is asked of us?
When we find ourselves searching for an identity and pur-
pose, let us remember who Jesus is and what he has done for
us on the Cross. We are called to live out and share the Good
News despite trials and persecution. “Whoever loses his life for
my sake and that of the gospel will save it.” Like Peter, many of
us want to follow Jesus but are afraid of suffering. We want
the crown of life but fear martyrdom. May the Lord reassure
us and free us from our fears. May the Holy Spirit transform
our faith into works for the good of our brothers and sisters
in need.
Are we ready to renew our mission, pick up our
cross and follow Jesus? When we are misunderstood
or ridiculed for our faith, can we trust in the promis-
es of Christ?
Fr. David Vivero
Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Nuestra identidad es una de las cualidades más im-
portantes de nosotros mismos: quiénes somos, de
dónde venimos y hacia dónde vamos. Cuando perde-
mos de vista nuestro sentido de identidad o lugar en el
mundo, a menudo pasamos por una "crisis de iden-
tidad". En esos momentos, nos preguntamos: ¿Quién
soy yo? La forma en que respondemos puede sanar
nuestro pasado, definir nuestro presente y redirigir nuestro fu-
turo. Hoy, reflexionemos sobre los temas importantes de IDEN-
TIDAD y MISIÓN en nuestro Evangelio dominical.
Jesús conocía su identidad y misión como el Siervo sufriente
profetizado en Isaías, pero las multitudes que lo seguían a
menudo lo malinterpretaban o incluso lo rechazaban. Por eso
Jesús preguntó a sus discípulos: "¿Quién decís que soy?" Una vez
más, Pedro profesa su fe: "Tú eres el Cristo". Jesús no solo afirma
esto, sino que también les enseña sobre el discipulado: "El que
quiera venir en pos de mí, debe negarse a sí mismo, tomar su
cruz y seguirme". Para sus oyentes, la cruz evocaba una imagen
escalofriante de ejecución romana, a diferencia de la forma en
que vemos la cruz hoy. Jesús nos da los mismos criterios para el
discipulado. ¿Estamos dispuestos a seguirlo, sabiendo lo que se
nos pide?
Cuando nos encontremos buscando una identidad y un
propósito, recordemos quién es Jesús y qué ha hecho por no-
sotros en la Cruz. Estamos llamados a vivir y compartir las
Buenas Nuevas a pesar de las pruebas y la persecución. "El que
pierda su vida por mi causa y la del evangelio, la salvará". Como
Pedro, muchos de nosotros queremos seguir a Jesús pero tene-
mos miedo al sufrimiento. Queremos la corona de la vida pero
tememos al martirio. Que el Señor nos tranquilice y nos libere de
nuestros miedos. Que el Espíritu Santo transforme nuestra fe en
obras para el bien de nuestros hermanos y hermanas necesita-
dos.
¿Estamos listos para renovar nuestra misión, tomar nuestra cruz
y seguir a Jesús? Cuando somos incomprendidos o ridiculizados
por nuestra fe, ¿podemos confiar en las promesas de Cristo?

Grandparents and grandchildren share a special relationship. To help you celebrate this holiday, here are a few ideas for making this day a special time for your family.
1) Pray Together Use symbols such as candles, water, seeds, and the cross.
2) Make a Photograph Craft Grandparents love photographs of their favorite kids, so incorporate pictures into a project.
3) Interview Grandparents Times have changed since grandparents were young, and kids will be fascinated to find out what life was like when grandma and grandpa were growing up.
4) Perform a Song A performance dedicated to your grandparents will be a special memory. Sing a song for grandma and grandpa, or send an audio or video recording.
5) Bake a Treat Adult relatives can help kids bake muffins or cookies for their grandparents.
6) Offer Thoughtful Services Grandparents do many things for their grandchildren, so the kids can use their own abilities to reciprocate.
7) Record Your Family’s History Family trees, scrapbooks and personal anecdotes gathered from various relatives can all be special keepsakes.
8) Hold a Sleepover Adults can “step up and offer to coordinate a sleepover” for the grandkids at the grandparents’ house.
9) Send a Homemade Card A card is a loving gift for grandparents both near and far, especially if it’s handcrafted. Or, “Make a homemade puzzle card.
10) Cook a Meal “The kids can organize planning, preparing and serving a meal to grandma and grandpa".
No matter what you decide to do in honor of National Grandparents Day, if it’s done with love, it will be special to grandma and grandpa.
All Are Welcome Here If you are alienated or upset, we welcome you lovingly. If you are in
need of forgiveness, Jesus forgives you completely—with unconditional love. If you have been hurt by the Church, we are truly sorry. If you are angry, Jesus offers you peace. If life has become burdensome, we are here to support you. We are happy you are here and want you to stay. We would like to share our lives with you. Come join us each week so we can worship God together.

Transforming Lives Through Faith and Service
“How do we involve lay people in service to the
communities in need Florida through the Church?”
Catholic Volunteers in Florida is the answer to
that question. Originally known as the
Augustinian Volunteers, the organization was
founded by Fr. Patrick O’Neill, in 1983.
1) The interest among people (particularly Catholic
laity) to give service to the community, live out our
faith and promote Catholic Social Teachings.
2) The expanding need for human services
throughout the state of Florida due to growing
population, growing migrant labor force, and
budget cuts.
Many volunteers say that this program has
changed their lives. CVIF allows volunteers to
learn the true importance of giving back to the
community. Call CVIF for more: 407.426.7771

Brought to Constantinople after a dozen years of priestly service in Syria, John found himself the
reluctant victim of an imperial ruse to make him bishop in the greatest city of the empire. Ascetic, unimposing but dignified, and troubled by stomach ailments from his desert days as a monk, John became a bishop under the cloud of imperial politics. If his body was weak, his tongue was powerful. The content of his sermons, his exegesis of Scripture, were never without a point. Sometimes the point stung the high and mighty. Some sermons lasted up to two hours. His zeal led him to decisive action. Bishops who bribed their way into office were deposed. Many of his sermons called for concrete steps to share wealth with the poor. The rich did not appreciate hearing from John that private property existed because of Adam’s fall from grace any more than married men liked to hear that they were bound to marital fidelity just as much as their wives were. When it came to justice and charity, John acknowledged no double standards. Aloof, energetic, outspoken, especially when he became excited in the pulpit, John was a sure target for criticism and personal trouble. His ac-tions taken against unworthy bishops in Asia Minor were viewed by oth-er ecclesiastics as a greedy, uncanonical extension of his authority. Theophilus, archbishop of Alexandria, and Empress Eudoxia were deter-mined to discredit John. Theophilus feared the growth in importance of the Bishop of Constantinople and took occasion to charge John with fos-tering heresy. Theophilus and other angered bishops were supported by Eudoxia. The empress resented his sermons contrasting gospel values with the excesses of imperial court life, and she finally did manage to have John exiled. He died in exile in 407.
T Saint John Chrysostom
We often see the letters “IHS” emblazoned on vari-ous objects in our churches and homes. What do these letters stand for?
IHS is a Christogram, that is, it’s an abbreviation for the Holy Name of Jesus. In the early centuries of the Church, writers would contract the Holy Name by using the first two letters or the first and last letters. I (iota) and H (eta) are the first two letters of the name Jesus in Greek. In the Christogram “IHS,” the third letter, S (sigma), has been added.
St. Bernardine of Siena, a Franciscan priest, employed the IHS symbol as a way to calm sectarian strife, encouraging his listeners to replace the fac-tional symbols on their homes, churches, and buildings with IHS. When he preached, he kept before him a tablet emblazoned with this Christo-gram, one that had sunrays bursting forth from the holy letters.
St. Bernardine’s devotion to the Holy Name and his promotion of the IHS Christogram played a major role in reviving the Faith in 15th-century Italy.
You can continue St. Bernardine’s mission by proudly displaying the IHS symbol in your home or workplace. (Article reprinted from the Catholic Company)

4th Sunday of 3280 W. 1st Street (SR#46)
Ordinary Time, 3:00pm Sanford, FL 32771
Canonized by St. Pope John Paul II in Rome on Oct. 18, 1987, St. Lorenzo
Ruiz was martyred during the persecution of Christians in Japan during
the 17th century while on a missionary expedition. A layman with a wife
and three children, he lived out his faith as an active member of his parish
community. In addition to being a patron for laypersons and married people, he is
known for being a saint of the poor because he was a poor sacristan from Binondo,
Manila. He is also a patron saint for artists because he was skilled in calligraphy when
he was employed by the Dominican Fathers. His feast day is Sept. 28.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI canonized St. Pedro Calungsod on World
Mission Sunday in 2012. The saint was martyred April 2, 1672 when he
was 17 — one week before Palm Sunday. He began serving God when he
was 13 as a missionary for the Jesuits. With Jesuit Father Diego Luis de San
Vitores, he traveled to Guam to catechize the native Chamorros. They were
attacked and killed when the village chief learned his baby daughter was
baptized. It is believed St. Pedro could have escaped the attackers but did
not want to leave Father Diego alone. His feast day is April 2.

The Apostleship of the Sea of
the United States of America
(AOS-USA) is pleased to
confirm that our two
organizations have formed an
alliance wherein Catholic Cruises and Tours (CC&T) will
source all of their priests for
cruises and tours through AOS-
USA.
The alliance between our two organizations ensures that, by our organizations working together, Catholics sailing on cruises will
have priests ministering to them that are vetted by AOS-USA and
certified as priests in good standing by their respective Competent
Authorities.
Help support our Priest program onboard our cruise lines. Our
responsibility is to vet each Priest that boards any of our over 1000
cruises. So that Catholics can feel comfortable knowing that they can
take their FAITH ON A JOURNEY.
Ministry onboard cruise ships may sound like a great vacation, and it
is...but that's not all it is. It is also a wonderful opportunity for the Catholic priest to encounter and accompany people during a very
special time in their life. Many people on cruise ships are taking a
once in a lifetime cruise. Others are celebrating major events such as
Wedding Anniversaries, Retirement, etc. Still others are traveling
because they've lost a loved one, and are perhaps traveling during the Christmas season because it is too hard to be home without their
loved one at Christmas. Help us continue our efforts to make sure
that Catholics can attend Mass daily on their journey.
For oh so many reasons....the priest is needed and appreciated
onboard ship!
St. Vincent De Paul (1581—1660)
In today’s Gospel
Jesus says: “Whoever
wishes to come after
me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and
follow me.” The cross
of Jesus and the crosses
of his members can
evangelize us: the sick,
who bear illness with
courage; the grieving,
who hope against
hope; the dying, who
clearly trust in the
resurrection; the
suffering of our poor
brothers and sisters
who are hungry and
homeless, but who still
trust in God’s love. ”

Our Faith Community
A New Academic Year Begins
Dear SVDP Family,
Greetings to you on this day dedicated to
the mother of the great St. Augustine, the
Patron Saint of the mother Diocese of Flori-
da and of the oldest Catholic community in
our region, indeed, of the whole United
States. As St. Monica prayed for her son, we
know that she is praying for us and for the
mission of our seminary from heaven.
We are concluding orientation this weekend
and preparing to begin classes on Monday
with a total of 118 seminarians enrolled at
St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary. I
would like to let you know of three events
in the coming days that will be live-
streamed, so that you can join with us,
whether you prefer to do watch the live
transmission or the recording. While we
have begun the year more normally than
last, we are still not able to extend open invi-
tations for all to come to campus for
Wednesday Masses. I hope that these op-
portunities will allow you to join with us in
prayer and reflection as we continue our
essential mission.
On Monday, August 30, at 4:30 pm, we will
celebrate the Mass of the Holy Spirit, to ask
the Holy Spirit to guide us throughout the
new year of formation. Later that same
evening, at 7:30 pm, we will have the
Opening Academic Exercises, officially
inaugurating the academic year. Finally,
on Wednesday, September 1st, we will
livestream the first Wednesday 12:15 pm
Mass of the year, which will be a Memori-
al Mass for our beloved Fr. Nicholas Cach-
ia, who passed away on July 28. All of
these livestreams will be available at
www.svdp.edu/live or on the Seminary
Facebook page.
Know of our prayers for you; please pray
constantly for us. In a particular way we
remember our mothers, living and de-
ceased, as we honor today the special pa-
tron saint of mothers. I am certain that
God will respond to our prayers, as He
did to those of St. Monica.
In Christ the Good Shepherd,
Very Rev. Alfredo I. Hernández, PhD, STL Rector/President
