Welcome to our Parish Saint Benedict the Moor Bienvenidos a nuestra parroquia San Benito el moro Rectory and Parish 1625 E. 12th St. Winston-Salem, N.C. 27101 Phone: 336-725-9200 Fax: 336-397-0898 August 18, 2019 Today’s Readings Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10 Psalm 40:2, 3, 4, 18 (R/. 14b) Hebrews 12:1-4 Luke 12:49-53 Pastor, Fr. Henry A. Tutuwan (980)616-6676 [email protected]Lectura, as de Hoy Jeremias 38:4-6, 8-10 Salmo 39:2, 3, 4, 18 Hebreos 12:1-4 Lucas 12:49-53 The first two readings today show us another side of evangelization: the role of the martyr. A martyr is a witness to God’s word. That witness is often met by the world’s hostility and rejection. Jeremiah is fol- lowing his commission from God to speak truth to Israel. But it is a word Israel does not want to hear; and Jeremiah is cast into the cistern. Jesus also suf- fers such rejection. Although we have the good news, the gospel to announce; such good news is not always easy or nice to hear. We know this from our own lives; not only in the past but again and again the gospel challenges us to abandon sinful ways and embrace the way of life. Proclaiming the good news often reveals the tragedy of our situation, and we do not like having our misery so exposed. We too are called to be witnesses. And we must sometimes witness to unpopular causes. The gospel does not always go down like honey. Sometimes it tastes of gall. We live in a society that does not val- ue life, yet we are called to prize life supremely and to take stands against death, whether abortion, capi- tal punishment, euthanasia, or economic oppression. We may be hated or ridiculed for espousing such causes. We need to find the appropriate ways so that our message of life can be heard. It is not enough to shout out our cause obnoxiously. It is not permitted to use the tactics of violence and threat in the cause of life. But let us be on fire, like Jesus, to endure the cross for the joy set before us. Las dos primeras lecturas de hoy nos muestran otro lado de la evangelización: el papel del mártir. Un mártir es testigo de la palabra de Dios. Ese testigo a menudo se encuentra con la hostilidad y el rechazo del mundo. Jeremías está siguien- do su comisión de parte de Dios para decir la verdad a Israel. Pero es una palabra que Israel no quiere escuchar; y Jeremías es arrojado a la cisterna. Jesús también sufre tal rechazo. Aunque tenemos las buenas noticias que anunciar; estas buenas noticias no siempre son fáciles o agradables de escuchar. Sabemos esto de nuestras propias vidas; no solo en el pasado sino que una y otra vez el evangelio nos desafía a abandonar las formas pecaminosas y abrazar la forma de vida. Proclamar las buenas noticias a menudo revela la tragedia de nuestra situación, y no nos gusta tener nuestra miseria tan expuesta. Nosotros también estamos llamados a ser testigos. Y a veces debemos ser testigos de causas impopulares. El evangelio no siempre baja como la miel. A veces sabe a hiel. Vivimos en una sociedad que no valora la vida, Sin embargo, estamos llamados a valorar la vida suprema- mente y tomar posiciones contra la muerte, ya sea el aborto, la pena capital, la eutanasia o la opresión económica. Po- demos ser odiados o ridiculizados por defender tales causas. Necesitamos encontrar las formas apropiadas para que nues- tro mensaje de vida pueda ser escuchado. No es suficiente gritar nuestra causa desagradablemente. No se nos permite usar las tácticas de violencia y amenaza en la causa de la vida. Pero ardamos, como Jesús, para soportar la cruz por el gozo que tenemos ante nosotros. 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The theme for the 15th Eucharistic Congress of the Diocese of Charlotte has been announced by Bishop Peter Jugis:
“Stay With Us, Lord.
”The Holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation … The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that
communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being.
The origins of the Eucharist are found in the Last Supper that Jesus shared with his Apostles. “In order to leave them a pledge of this love, in order never to depart from his own and to make them sharers in his Passover, he instituted the
Eucharist as the memorial of his death and Resurrection and commanded his apostles to celebrate it until his return; ‘thereby he constituted them priests of the New Testa-
ment’” (ccc.no 1337)
The 2019 theme is taken from the Gospel book of Luke (24:29), telling of two dejected disciples leaving Jerusalem
after Christ was crucified and died.

Thank you to those who represented us. This year we hope more people will be there to join the Bishop and the Church in the Diocese of Charlotte to celebrate and pray adoring Jesus Christ physically present in the Eucharist.
El tema del 15º Congreso Eucarístico de la Dióce-sis de Charlotte ha sido anunciado por el obispo Peter Jugis: "Quédate con nosotros, Señor". El tema de 2019 está tomado del libro del Evange-lio de Lucas (24:29), que habla de dos discípulos abatidos que abandonaron Jerusalén después de que Cristo fue crucificado y murió. En www.goeucharist.com: Obtenga información sobre el próximo Congreso Eucarístico, en inglés y español. Gracias a quienes nos representaron. Este año espe-ramos que haya más personas para unirse al Obispo y la Iglesia en la Diócesis de Charlotte para cele-brar y rezar adorando a Jesucristo físicamente pre-sente en la Eucaristía.
La Sagrada Eucaristía completa la iniciación cris-tiana... La Eucaristía es el signo eficaz y la causa sublime de esa comunión en la vida divina y esa unidad del Pueblo de Dios por la cual la Iglesia se mantiene.
