20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Sunday, August 14th, 2016
20th Sunday in Ordinary Time "From now on a household of five will be divided, three against two and two against three." What a sad image Jesus paints in today's Gospel. Causing family strife--fathers against sons and mothers against daughters--is not the effect we like to imagine Jesus having on people. But as he says today, "Do you think that I have come to establish peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division." The fact is, and always has been, that not everyone chooses to follow Christ. This causes conflict.
Perhaps it is most tragic when this tension takes place within families. When certain members of the family desire to live a full Christian life, to follow the commandments and worship God as he asks, this can be irritating at best and infuriating at worst to other family members who want nothing to do with Jesus or his church. But faith must persist in spite of domestic turmoil. Following Jesus is the ultimate good; preserving peace is secondary. In a sense, today's Gospel gives faithful Christians permission to move forward in their faith even if it doesn't make everybody happy.
However, all of this needs to be understood in the light of Jesus' desire to bring peace. He often used the greeting, "Peace be with you," and clearly promised peace to his disciples. Today's Gospel should not be taken to mean that Jesus desires division. Rather, he is acknowledging the fact that division will inevitably result as people declare their differing allegiances. But thankfully, when we align ourselves with Christ, we are also uniting ourselves to the One who can restore peace even in the midst of conflict. So when we see turmoil arise, let's call upon the power of the true Prince of Peace.
Year of Mercy: Book Discussion
This year’s Book Discussion will be September 8th 2016,
save the date and get your book now!
As we venture together through this Jubilee Year of Mercy, why not let the Lord show you His great Love and Mercy
through Pope Francis’s inspiring book, The Church of Mercy.
We will be sharing how God’s divine Mercy has shined down upon us through the words of one of the greatest spiritual teachers, Pope Francis. Book requests are still being taken by the rectory office.

Explaining the Assumption In 1950, Pope Pius XII, in his encyclical Munificentissimus Deus, dogmatically defined the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In his teaching he states that "at the end of her earthly course, Mary was assumed into heavenly glory, body and soul." He also wrote that it was not new doctrine he was defining, but rather formalizing the revelation given us through the Apostles. Interesting to note is that the encyclical simply speaks of the end of her life and does not talk about her death. The Church leaves it to pious opinion and does not have a defined position on if or how Mary died.
Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
(Not a Holy Day of
Obligation this year.)
- Solemn Mass 8:30am.
From 9am to 6pm the
Blessed Sacrament will be
exposed ending with
benediction at 6pm.
- Bishop Libasci is urging
all Catholics to pray for
peace on this day.
“Mass will be celebrated with highest solemnity. Because
the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary falls on a Monday this year, the
obligation to attend Mass is abrogated. However, I urge all Catholics to make every attempt to attend Mass that
day regardless.” - Bishop Libasci

La Asuncion de la
Virgen Maria
(La obligacion de asistir a
la misa se suprime)
- La santa misa se
realizara a las 8:30 de
la mañana
- De 9 de la mañana a 6
de la tarde, estara
expuesto en Santisimo
y al final se llevara a
cabo la benediction..
- Nuestro Obispo
Libasci nos pide que
rezemos por la paz este
dia.
*** “La Misa se celebrará con la mayor solemnidad. Debido
a que éste año la Fiesta de la Asunción de la Virgen María cae en lunes, la obligación de asistir a la misa se
suprime. Sin embargo, insto a todos los católicos a hacer todo lo posible para asistir a la misa de ese día
independientemente.” - Obispo Libasci
Explicación de la Asunción de la Virgen En 1950, el Papa Pío XII, en su encíclica dogmática Deus Munificentissimus, define la Asunción de la Virgen María. En su enseñanza afirma que "al final de su vida terrenal, María fue asunta a la gloria celeste, en cuerpo y alma." También escribió que no era nueva la doctrina que él estaba definiendo, sino más bien formalización de la revelación nos han dado a través de los Apóstoles. Es interesante señalar que la encíclica simplemente habla del fin de su vida y no habla de su muerte. La Iglesia deja a la opinión piadosa y no tiene una posición definida sobre si o cómo María murió.
