Formal Blessings The new Parish Year is about to begin. Liturgical Ministers and Catechists will be blessed at Sunday Masses in September. We do this to help everyone understand that there are many parts to the Body of Christ and each has its responsibilities. More to come. * * * * * * * *

A Capital Campaign FOR US! The Archdiocese of New York, in an effort to improve the physical condition of all parishes (or pay off debts), is asking all pastors to unveil an Autumn Capital Campaign (similar to the one we ran in 2006).The local parish will retain 74% of their specified goal, with the rest going to support poor parishes (who cannot run such a campaign) and the regional schools. IMPORTANT: THERE WILL BE NO CARDINAL’S STEWARDSHIP APPEAL IN 2017. Therefore, as required, Monsignor Sandi is building a solid foundation of support among parishioners in anticipation of a parish-wide appeal beginning in September. Please pray for the enthusiasm we need to make this campaign successful.

Intense Temperatures No doubt you have noticed the debilitating heat in the church. [We are not thinking about it now but, as we all know, the same thing happens in the dead of winter with the cold.] There is a genuine need for stabilizing the temperature in our “sacred space.” Various parts of the historic, physical structure of the building suffer in intense heat and intense cold. We have both. Additionally, many parishioners choose to attend neighboring churches during the summer months. We feel very bad. Something to think about. More to come. * * * * * * * *

Calling All Lectors! Save the Date!

Monsignor and Stephanie Miller, Lector Chair, would like to meet in the rectory parlor with all our Lectors on Wednesday evening, September 7th at 7:00 PM to pray, update and encourage one another. This ministry is critical to our parish and we would like to affirm these men and women who are so dependable. Makeup date is Sunday, Sept. 11th, 4:00 PM * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * A Reflection – “STRENGTHEN YOUR DROOPING HANDS …” “Today’s Second Reading and Gospel emphasize how difficult faith can be and the necessity for discipline and patience. Spiritual life is about formation, growth, and change; we should be different at the end of the journey that when we began. But this transformation, while glorious in its effect, can be humbling and harsh in the process. The Second Reading, from one of the ‘wisdom books,’ the Book of Proverbs, urges the reader not to dismiss or be disheartened by the ‘discipline of the Lord.’ We might interpret this to mean that we should not see roadblocks in life as signs of disfavor. God’s processes for forming us spiritually are mysterious; setbacks may in fact help us grow. We should take heart that instruction from the Lord is a loving gesture meant to teach and prepare us for future earthly challenges and for salvation.” – At Home with the Word

SANTA ROSA DE LIMA (23 de Agosto)

Santa Rosa de Lima nació el 30 de abril de 1586 en la vecindad del hospital del Espíritu Santo de la ciudad de Lima, entonces capital del virreinato del Perú. Su nombre original fue Isabel Flores de Oliva. Era una de los trece hijos habidos en el matrimonio de Gaspar Flores, arcabucero de la guardia virreinal, natural de San Juan de Puerto Rico, con la limeña María de Oliva. A Santa Rosa de Lima le tocó vivir en Lima un ambiente de efervescencia religiosa, una época en que abundaban las atribuciones de milagros, curaciones y todo tipo de maravillas por parte de una población que ponía gran énfasis en las virtudes y calidad de vida cristianas. Alrededor de sesenta personas fallecieron en "olor de santidad" en la capital peruana entre finales del siglo XVI y mediados del XVIII. De aquí se originó por cierto una larga serie de biografías de santos, beatos y siervos de Dios, obras muy parecidas en su contenido, regidas por las mismas estructuras formales y por análogas categorías de pensamiento.

A Santa Rosa le atraía con singular fuerza el modelo de la dominica Catalina de Siena (santa toscana del siglo XIV), y esto la decidió a cambiar el sayal franciscano por el hábito blanco de terciaria de la Orden de Predicadores, aparentemente desde 1606. Se afirma que estaba bien dotada para las labores de costura, con las cuales ayudaba a sostener el presupuesto familiar, pero fueron muy contadas las personas con quienes Rosa llegó a tener alguna intimidad. En su círculo más estrecho se hallaban mujeres virtuosas como doña Luisa Melgarejo y su grupo de "beatas", junto con amigos de la casa paterna y allegados al hogar del contador Gonzalo de la Maza. El proceso que condujo a la beatificación y canonización de Rosa empezó casi de inmediato, con la información de testigos promovida en 1617-1618 por el arzobispo de Lima, Bartolomé Lobo Guerrero. Tras un largo procedimiento, Clemente X la canonizó en 1671. Desde un punto de vista histórico, Santa Rosa de Lima sobresale por ser la primera santa de América. Actualmente es patrona de Lima, América, Filipinas e Indias Orientales.
