The purpose of the Salvatorian is to strengthen, to defend and to spread the Catholic faith everywhere insofar as this is committed to it by Divine Providence. Therefore, by exercising this ecclesiastical teaching function in word and writing, it intends to achieve the end that all people might know more and more the one true God and Him whom He sent, Jesus Christ.

Benediction. We invite our Altar Servers (in their alb or cassock and surplice) to help lead the

procession followed by those who made their 1st Communion and Confirmation this year. All are invited to join us as we make a public mani-festation of our faith in celebration of the Most

Holy Body and Blood of the Lord, Corpus Christi.

Our Lady of Fatima appeared to the children on the 13th of the month from May to Octo-ber in 1917. Each year pil-grims relive this experience

with a candlelit proces-sion. Pope Francis dedicated

his papacy to Our Lady of Fati-ma so let us pray for our Uni-versal Church for Our Lady's

help and protection. Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

A procession is representative of our life journey as the Church, the Bride of Christ, going to meet her Divine Spouse. We offer these processions for an

increased devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the conversion of sinners, and for the souls of the

faithful departed. Join us at our parish for our monthly Fatima

Devotions (in three languages) Rosary & proces-sions on the 13th of the month.

Some Church Etiquette

Please return all Missalettes to the shelf

from which you had tak-en them.

Please close the doors after you enter or leave the church. This preserves the

air-conditioned environment for others. On rainy days, please use the umbrella

receptacles. This prevents water on the floor, kneelers and pews. Please take all items home with you:

bulletins, keys, glasses, papers, etc. Please turn off your cell phone. God does not need

it to talk to you!

YEARLY INTENTION CANDLES We have available year-long Intention candles as a Memorial for deceased loved ones or Prayers for the living. The decorative glass sheath with gold intention plate may be placed at any of the red

votive candle stands. Those who ordered candles will find them at the designated stands.

LA FESTA DI GESU NAZARENO

La festa di Gesu’ Nazareno si svolge a San Giovanni Gem-ini (AG) la seconda domenica di Giugno, ha origini an-tiche essendo stata celebrata la prima volta nel lontano 1677. Da un’antica tradizione popolare pare che la statua sia stata trovata da alcuni contadini nei pressi della Monta-gnola Puzzillo e da lì, su di un carro trainato da buoi, por-tata in paese; la statua venne collocata nella Chiesa Madre, prima nel Transetto, poi nel 1758, nell’Altare Maggiore. Il Nazareno è una scultura lignea di autore sconosciuto di colore marrone scuro, attorno ad Esso vi sono le statue di San Giovanni Evangelista, di Maria Maddalena in ginoc-chio da una parte e la Vergine Addolorata dall’altra.

La devozione a Gesù Nazareno è radicata nel cuore e nella vita di ogni Sangiovannese, Cammaratese e abitanti dei paesi vicini. Questa devozione si esprime nelle invocazioni di aiuto e di grazia particolari, che trovano il loro momento culminante nel “ viaggio a piedi scalzi” per grazia ricevuta, con la commovente processione dei ceri che si svolge la domenica mattina.

Tra le feste popolari della Sicilia, la festa di Gesù Naza-reno conserva ancora oggi una caratteristica unica, il Carro Trionfale, per la sua particolare struttura artigianale e per la sua imponenza. Sulle vere motivazioni che hanno origi-nato la costruzione del Carro non si sa praticamente nulla, ma è certo però, che durante la dominazione spagnola, nei secoli XVI e XVII in Sicilia, ebbe larga diffusione l’usan-za di costruire un Carro Trionfale in legno, di forma piramidale, arricchito da sculture e stoffe, in occasione della ricorrenza della festa più importante o del santo patrono, questo spiega il perché venga costruito per Gesù Nazareno. Raggiunge un’altezza di circa 21 m. è costruito da settori quadrangolari sovrapposti a scalare fino a rag-giungere la vetta dove viene posta la croce. Ha la base, a forma di barca, allungato a poppa e a prua, dove vengono posizionate le bande musicali. L’intera struttura del Carro poggia su una base alla quale sono legati, con corde di canapa, gli assi in legno di olmo e le ruote raggiate cos-truite artigianalmente.

Solennita di Pentecoste

Vieni o Santo Spirito! Illumina la mia mente, per cono-scere i tuoi precetti: dà forza al mio cuore contro le insidie del nemico: infiamma la mia volontà. Ho udito la tua voce, e non voglio indurire il mio cuore e resisterti, dicendo: dopo…, domani. Adesso! Non sia che il domani mi man-chi! Oh, Spirito di verità e di sapienza, Spirito di conoscenza e di consiglio, Spirito di gioia e di pace!: amo quello che vuoi tu, perchè lo vuoi tu, come lo vuoi tu, e quando lo vuoi tu.

San Josemaría Escrivá

Niedziela Zesłania Ducha Świętego

Pięćdziesiąte-go dnia po swoim zmartwychwstaniu Pan Jezus zesłał Du-cha Świętego na Maryję i Apostołów zgromadzonych w Wieczerniku, wypeł-niając tym samym swoją obietnicę:

"Gdy przyjdzie Duch Pocieszyciel, którego Ja wam poślę od Ojca, Duch Prawdy, który od Oj-ca pochodzi, On będzie świadczył o Mnie" (J 15, 26). W dniu Pięćdziesiątnicy Kościół, ożywiony Duchem Świętym, rozpoczyna przepowiadanie radosnej nowiny o zbawieniu wszystkim naro-dom. Zielone Świątki, bo tak brzmi popularna nazwa dzisiejszej uroczystości, to jedno z najstarszych świąt Kościoła, obchodzone już w czasach apo-stolskich. Dzień ten posiadał wtedy praktycznie tę samą rangę, co uroczystość Paschy. Kościół przypomina, że Pięćdziesiątnica jest wypełnieniem i zakończeniem Świąt Pas-chalnych. Duch Święty - Nowe Życie w Chry-stusie - był celem całej działalności Chrystusa. Zgodnie z obietnicą, po wywyższeniu Chrystusa na drzewie krzyża, gdy dostęp do Ojca został otwarty, a dziecięctwo Boże stało się rzeczywi-stością, posłany zostaje Duch Ojca i Syna, by prowadził dalej dzieło Jezusa. Dzisiaj za pobożne, publiczne odmówie-nie całego hymnu: "O Stworzycielu Duchu, przyjdź..." można dostąpić odpustu zupełnego, pod zwykłymi warunkami.
