Seventeenth Sunday in
Ordinary Time July 29, 2018 The eyes of all look hopefully to you and you give them
their food in due season.-Psalm 145:15 ************************************************************************
WEEKLY MIRACLE This week marks the beginning of a kind of “liturgical detour.” We have been listening to Saint Mark’s Gospel during this liturgical year (Year B). Today we begin to hear a long section from John’s Gospel, starting with the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes. This miracle story is a prelude to the Lord’s statements that we will begin hearing in a few weeks, in which Jesus refers to himself as the “bread of life.” Each week we witness a miracle at Mass. We do not see a multiplication of loaves before us. What our eyes of faith allow us to see is the miracle of the transformation of common elements—bread and wine—into the Lord’s Body and Blood. Once we have received the Lord, the multiplication begins, for in the Eucharist we are strengthened to multiply our efforts to feed the poor, shelter the homeless, and bring comfort to the despairing. ************************************************************************

MASS SCHEDULE
Please pardon our Appearance, while we
are working on the restoration of the
Sanctuary.
Remember CHURCH and chapel ETIQUETTE
Please arrive to Mass on time. If you are late,
wait for an appropriate time during the Mass to enter and avoid drawing attention to yourself.
Please turn off all electronic devices, including cellular phones, pagers, mobile devices, or games.
Please be respectful of persons praying before or after Mass. Please refrain from socializing in Church. Catch up with friends, neighbors, and others outside of Church or in the Gathering Space.
Please do not slam the kneelers against the floor. Please be an active participant in the liturgy
with your body, mind, and spirit - listen to the readings attentively, join in song, pray and attend to God interiorly.
Please remain until after the final recessional hymn is complete.
Please remember that when you are in Church, you are in the presence of Jesus Christ in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Therefore, please dress in a manner that shows respect to God and His house – even during the warmer summer months!
Remember that God the Father listens to our prayers with loving and unfailing attention; we should worship together as a community, in His Presence, in exactly the same way. Let us give our whole, undivided hearts to God with reverence, respect, and participation in the sacred liturgy. It is our privilege as Catholics to prayerfully lift up our hearts and minds and offer ourselves with Christ at the altar. ******************************************* Fr.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Last Wednesday, the greatest pilgrimage in our tradition ended with the feast of Saint James at his shrine in Compostela, Spain. Every year, as many as a hundred thousand persons walk a portion of the medieval way of the pilgrim, earning the right to wear the scallop shell symbol of this journey of faith. In legend, this city on the northern coast of Spain is the final resting place of the apostle, and the full name of the cathedral is “Saint James of the Field of Stars.” There is a tradition that Saint James the Great preached there. In the Roman Catholic tradition, the pilgrimage, like any procession, is a symbol, life’s journey distilled, a powerful sign of our journey toward a certain goal. The perils of the road, the support of companions, the contemplative slower pace of life, have the potential to transform and renew the pilgrims in ways that last a lifetime. Along the way, the distinctions between rich and poor fall away, and everyone shares humble rustic food and stops for the night in hostels or under the stars. After a long walk, the experience of entering through the great doors into the vast cathedral filled with incense, light, and song is a foretaste of heaven. The pilgrims often say that their whole lives are redirected toward that moment of entry into the heavenly Jerusalem. The most memorable feature of the cathedral is called the botofumeiro, an incense burner on pulleys and chains that sweeps through the cathedral in immense circles, swirling clouds of sweet-smelling incense around the vast nave . ***************************************** No donations of clothing Thank you to All who have donated clothes in the past for the less fortunate. Please do not leave packages in the church vestibule or gathering space, or outside any entrance doors. You can donate directly to St. Margaret Mary at: 9-18 27th Ave, Astoria, NY 11102, or Hour Children on 26th Ave. Between 12th and 134th Streets. ***************************************** Donación de alimentos Nuestra dispensa de alimentos está abierto todos los jueves de 8:00 – 9:00, para ayudar a cualquier feligrés con necesidad de alimentos.

Decimoséptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
29 de julio de 2018 A ti, Señor, sus ojos vuelven todos y tú los alimentas a su tiempo.— Salmo 145 (144):15 ************************************************************************ MILAGRO SEMANAL Esta semana señala el comienzo de una especie de “desvío litúrgico”. Hemos estado escuchando el Evangelio según san Marcos durante este año litúrgico (Ciclo B). Hoy comenzamos a escuchar una larga sección del Evangelio según san Juan que empieza con el milagro de la multiplicación de los panes y peces. Este milagro es un preludio de las declaraciones del Señor, que comenzaremos a escuchar en algunas semanas, en las que Jesús se llama a sí mismo el “Pan de Vida”. Cada semana somos testigos de un milagro en la Misa. No vemos la multiplicación de panes. Lo que vemos con los ojos de la fe es el milagro de la transformación de elementos comunes, pan y vino, en el Cuerpo y la Sangre del Señor. Una vez que hemos recibido al Señor, comienza la multiplicación, porque en la Eucaristía se nos fortalece para multiplicar nuestros esfuerzos por alimentar a los pobres, darles refugio a los que no tienen hogar y brindarles consuelo a los afligidos. ************************************************************************
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 2 de agosto es la fiesta de Santa María de los Ángeles, patrona de Costa Rica y de los franciscanos. En 1635 la mestiza Juana Pereira descubrió una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios. Varias veces la imagen se le perdió y regresaba al sitio donde la había encontrado el día 2 de agosto. Por esta razón el lugar a donde regresaba se convirtió en su santuario y se le dio el título de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles en honor de la capilla dedicada a Santa María de los Ángeles afuera del pueblito de Asís en Italia. Esta capillita reconocida como la Porciúncula (pedacito de tierra) fue restaurada por san Francisco. Allí nació la familia franciscana y Francisco insistió que los frailes nunca abandonaran ese lugar porque era consagrado a Dios. Allí María y los ángeles alababan a Dios cuando los seres humanos habían dejado de hacerlo. Según parece, la imagen costarricense también insistió en quedarse en un pedacito de tierra consagrado a Dios donde sus hijos e hijas pueden recurrir a ella y adorar al Dios eterno.
