Thanks be to God for all these beautiful children who are receiving their First Holy Communion on 25 July and 1 August here at Corpus Christi. They are true signs of light and love in these dark days of the pandemic. Special gratitude to Mrs. Anaischik, Mary Ann Cabo and all our catechists for their dedicated work in the formation of the youngsters. And especially we are so thankful for all the parents and godparents of the children, who faithfully entrust our parish with the privilege of educating and celebrating Jesus Christ in your families! Please pray that First Communion marks a renewed beginning for us all, in weekly worship of the Lord every Sunday in the Eucharist! Yours in Christ, Father Malcolm

Parish Outreach proudly sponsors our 3rd Annual: “Learning can be fun if you have the right tools”
In order to learn, children need the right tools at the right time. Some children in our community don’t have or can’t afford the right tools. Buying school supplies may be difficult for local families going through tough financial times especially in this time of Covid-19. We, as a parish, we as members of the Mineola community, want to make a difference in their lives by providing the right tools they need to succeed. Through our “Learning can be fun if you have the right tools” school supply drive, we will be able to provide children with the basic supplies they need to be prepared for school this September whether in person or virtual learning. Will you help us make that difference by meeting this need? Parish Outreach is sponsoring a school supplies drive running from now until Labor Day weekend. The children need the following supplies:
• Backpacks • Staples Gift Cards • New notebooks, both spiral (single or multiple sectioned) and marble (all colors) • Pens (blue & black ink), pencils • Basic Calculators • 1” & 3” Binders • Dividers, 2 Pocket & Hole Punched Folders • Post-Its of all sizes • Highlighters, Markers, Glue Sticks • Black Sharpies & Dry Erase Markers & Erasers • New Assignment Pads • Baby Wipes & Tissues • Kid’s Scissors
With your generous help, we can make learning easier, fun and successful for students in need. Donations of school supplies may be left in the lobby of the Church. Please place them in the same chest that we now use for food donations. You may also bring these supplies directly to Parish Outreach, Monday – Friday between 9am & 3pm.

Español DECIMOSÉPTIMO DOMINGO
EVANGELIO DE SAN MATEO 13,44-46
En aquel tempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: El Reino de los cielos se parece a un tesoro escondido en un campço. El que lo encuentra lo vuelve a esconder y, lleno de alegría, va y vende cuanto tiene y compra aquel campo. El Reino de los cielos se parece también a un comerciante en perlas finas que, al encontrar una perla muy valiosa, va y vende cuanto tiene y la compra.
La palavra de Dios nos propone, en este domingo, una reflexión sobre los valores más importantes de la vida del hombre: la primera lectura nos habla de la sabiduría práctica para la vida, que consiste en el conocimiento de la voluntad de Dios, conforme la cual se ha de ordenar la vida humana. Salomón sucedió en el trono a su padre, el rey David. El era muy joven e inexperto en las artes del gobierno. Dios le pregunta lo que quiere el y Salomón no pide a Dios las cosas que normalmente anhelan los seres humanos: riquezas, larga vida, el triunfo sobre los enemigos. Salomón pide a Dios la saabiduría de corazón, para que sepa governar a su Pueblo y distinguir entre el bien y el mal. En el evangelio Jesús utiliza dos comparaciones para encarecernos el valor del Reino de los cielos, por acima de todos los demás bienes de este mundo. Jesús propone como valor supremo el Reino de los cielos, al que compara con un tesoro y una perla preciosa. En el caso de la Parábola del
Tesoro escondido y la de la Perla fina, ambas plantean cuán valioso es el Reino de los Cielos si se compara con otras riquezas. En el primer caso, se trata de un tesoro que alguien encuentra y, “lleno de alegría, vende todo lo que tiene”, para poder comprar ese terreno. La segunda parábola cuenta que un comerciante de perlas finas encuentra “una perla muy valiosa” y, entonces, va y vende todo lo que tiene para comprarla. Como vemos, ambas comparaciones dadas por el Señor nos indican la superioridad que tiene el Reino de los Cielos frente a cualquier otra cosa, y nos hace ver la actitud que tiene quien lo llega a descubrir: se propone adquirirlo a cualquier costo, vende todo lo que tiene, para poder lograr tener lo que verdaderamente vale.
HERMANO, VEN CON NOSOTROS DESCOBRIR EL VERDADERO TESORO DE ESTA VIDA: JESUCRISTO. SIN ÉL NADA TIENE VALOR.
El Reino de los cielos – que Jesús anunció al mundo y por el que dio su vida – es Dios mismo, que se da al hombre para hacerlo partícipe de su própria natureza y vida divina.

Português DÉCIMO SÉTIMO DOMINGO DO
TEMPO COMUM
EVANGELHO DE MATEUS 13, 44-46 Naquele tempo, disse Jesus às multidões: “O reino dos Céus é semelhante a um tesouro escondido num campo. O homem que o encontrou tornou a escondê-lo e ficou tão contente que foi vender tudo quanto possuía e comprou aquele campo O reino os Céus é semelhante a um negociante que procura pérolas preciosas. Ao encontrar uma de grande valor foi vender tudo quanto possuía e comprou essa pérola”.
Com o Evangelho deste domingo termina o Sermão das parábolas de Jesus sobre o mistério do Reino. São Mateus no capítulo 13 apresenta sete parábolas sobre o Reino de Deus. Neste domingo temos as três últimas: o tesouro no campo, a pérola preciosa e a rede com os peixes. Aqui vamos
examinar somente as duas primeiras parábolas. Elas nos apresentam o Reino como bem supremo. Basicamente Jesus nos coloca diante de algo muito importante na nossa vida: as escolhas que fazemos. Para alguns, a vida não passa de uma luta para conseguir mais dinheiro, ou mais fama ou mais poder. Jesus nos ensina que o Reino de Deus é um tesouro. Ele vale mais do que todos os outros bens que um homem possa ter. Para se conquistar o Reino de Deus, vale a pena desfazer-se de tudo o que se tem. Não importa termos muito ou pouco. Nem os apóstolos Pedro e André nem João e Tiago eram ricos. Mas deixaram imediatamente tupo por Jesus. O centro da mensagem evangélica deste domingo é a renúncia. Podemos primeiro ver o exemplo de Salomão, na primeira leitura. Ele é convidado por Deus para pedir o que quisesse e ele não escolheu o poder e riqueza, mas, sim sabedoria para julgar com justiça. Jesus ensina o povo a escolher o que mais vale: o Reino de Deus. Por ele devemos colocar tudo em jogo, como faz um negociante para comprar um campo com o tesouro, ou uma pérola cujo valor somente ele conhece.
