ALTAR LINENS: St. Nicholas Church August – Mary Emma Sartorio

THE SANCTUARY CANDLE THIS WEEK

(ST. NICHOLAS CHURCH) In memory of Doris Bauman

Requested by: Her Mom

Pastor’s Corner

“Bear much fruit and…Be my Disciple!

Be my Disciple and…Bear much fruit!” So let’s review (once again) the teaching of the Church concerning Holy Days of Obligation. In the Universal Church there are 10 solemnities that have been assigned as Holy Days of Obligation; however, each Conference of Bishops (a geographical grouping of dioceses/Bishops) can add or subtract from this number. In 1991 the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) chose 6 Days of Obligation: January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God; Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, the solemnity of the Ascension; August 15, the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary; November 1, the solemnity of All Saints; December 8, the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and December 25, the solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. But the Conference also stated that, “Whenever January 1, the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the solemnity of the Assumption, or November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated” – meaning that these celebrations remain Holy Days but without the obligation to attend Mass. So, Monday – being the Solemnity of the Assumption – is a Holy Day but without the obligation to attend Mass. Still, many people desire to make the effort to ‘go to Mass’ (and participate in Mass) on this day. Therefore, in addition to the 7:00 AM Mass at our St. Nicholas Church and the 8:00 AM Mass at our Church of the Assumption we will have a 6:00 PM Mass at our Church of the Assumption. The Assumption is a gift to us. God wanted to show us that like Jesus, new life – Eternal Life – will be given to those who follow His will. Mary is the perfect role model of Discipleship for us! In her Assumption we find hope. Hope that like her, by having a relationship with Jesus Christ and living according to the teaching He left us in the Catholic Church, we too shall share in the Glory of her Son.

Peace, Fr. Nick

BREVE COMENTARIO A LA LITURGIA DE HOY

SANTOS DE AGOSTO (SEGUNDA PARTE) Continuando con la presentación de nuestros santos de Agosto:

El día 11 celebramos a Santa Clara de Asís, seguidora de Cristo por el camino de la pobreza. Ella se inspiró en Francisco (San Francisco de Asís) para la realización de su vocación. Correspondió a ella fundar la rama femenina del franciscanismo, siendo también ella misma quien escribió la regla para la vida religiosa de las hermanas. Clara comprendió que el modo de vida pobre testimoniado por el joven Francisco era el que a ella le señalaba el Señor.

San Maximiliano Kolbe se celebra el día 14. Era un sacerdote franciscano asesinado por los nazis en los campos de concentración Auschwitz durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Devoto del Inmaculado Corazón de María y acérrimo combatiente contra el modernismo y los peligros que acechaban a la Iglesia en su tiempo (siglo XX). A fines de julio de 1941 se fugó un preso del campo de concentración de Auschwitz y dieron la alarma. Como escarmiento, los oficiales nazis darían muerte a diez prisioneros señalados al azar. Entre ellos sería matado un hombre que murmuraba lastimosamente por sus hijos y su esposa. Entonces el padre Maximiliano Kolbe, afectado por una tuberculosis desde bastante antes, estaba cerca y lo oyó. Enseguida, dio un paso adelante y le dijo al coronel: «Yo soy un sacerdote católico polaco, estoy ya viejo. Quiero ocupar el puesto de ese hombre que tiene esposa e hijos». El oficial nazi, aceptó su ofrecimiento y Maximiliano Kolbe, que tenía entonces 47 años, fue puesto, junto con otros nueve prisioneros, en ayuno obligado para que muriera. Pero como logró sobrevivir sin comer durante tres semanas, y los oficiales necesitaban de más celdas, Kolbe y tres de sus compañeros fueron asesinados administrándoles una inyección mortal. Después quemaron los cuerpos hasta consumirse.

El 19 de Agosto celebramos a San Juan Eudes, sacerdote que fundó la orden de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad, destinada a recibir prostitutas en albergues o refugios, que después se expandieron por todo el mundo. Creó una sociedad de sacerdotes consagrados a la formación de seminaristas y de predicaciones populares: La Congregación de Jesús y María llamados familiarmente padres eudistas.

El 27 de Agosto celebramos a Santa Mónica, madre de San Agustín de Hipona (en el Norte de África). Y, un día después, el 28 de Agosto, celebramos a San Agustín, hijo de Santa Mónica. Padre y Doctor de la Iglesia; el máximo pensador del cristianismo del primer milenio; considerado como uno de los más grandes genios de la humanidad. Dedicó gran parte de su vida a escribir sobre filosofía y teología, siendo "Confesiones" y "La ciudad de Dios" sus obras más destacadas.

Monday is the

Feast of the Assumption and not a holy day of obligation this year.

MASSES will be 7:00 am (SN),

8:00 am and 6:00 pm (A).

My Rock *

When I got angry with you, You looked the other way.

When I felt teary, You changed the color of my day.

A lonely night, Then the phone rang.

You’d gotten a great job, My heart truly sang.

I see your kids

Grow up safe and strong. Because of you,

They know right from wrong. You’re big in size bigger in heart.

I recall days ago, But where do I start?

You loved your shepherds,

You hated school. You were gentle at times,

but never a fool. I recall our movies

and eating out. We were best friends,

There’s really no doubt. We read each other

Like an old book; A joke, a smile

sometimes just a look.

Your love of God, Hunting and Harleys, too

All through my life, My rock has always been….You!

*For Erik
