FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
My good friends,
Our parish committee dedicated to the ‘Black Christ’ celebrated the annual mass for their church in Panama. What a sight! As we imitate what has been done in Panama for centuries, a group of men carry Jesus as he holds on to his cross. But as they lift the statue of the Lord up on high, the image of Jesus tends to ‘dance’ as well – because the men carrying the image of Jesus are themselves dancing to the beat of the music. How awesome to observe what we believe. Even when life throws crosses at us, we can dance. Like our Blessed Mother Mary who STOOD at the foot of the cross, we don’t fold and fall into depression. We laugh at the crosses to come! God bless the magnificent example given to us by the church in Panama! On some other notes, great news in that our semi-narian and friend, Edwin Ortiz is about to be ordained a transitional deacon on Saturday, November 3rd. Eddie will become FATHER Edwin next June. How proud St. Mary/St. Gertrude is of their son. We are happy to say that a young friend from the Dominican Republic, Father Nelson, will be with us for the month of November. We welcome him with open arms…and maybe some of us might help him learn some English!
DESDE EL ESCRITORIO DEL PASTOR
Mis queridos amigos, El comité de Jesús Nazareno "el Cristo Negro" de la parroquia celebraron la misa anual para su
iglesia en Panamá. ¡Qué hermoso! Imitando lo que se ha hecho en Panamá durante siglos, un grupo de hombres lleva a Jesús mientras sostiene su cruz. Pero al levantar la estatua del Señor en lo alto, la imagen de Jesús tiende a "bailar", porque los hombres que llevan la imagen de Jesús bailan al ritmo de la música. Qué asombroso observar lo que creemos. Aùn cuando la vida nos hace cargar
cruces, podemos bailar. Al igual que nuestra Santísima Madre María, que PERMANECIO al pie de la cruz, no nos doblegamos o caemos en depresión. ¡Esperamos la cruces por venir con alegría! ¡Dios bendiga el magnífico ejemplo que nos dio la iglesia
en Panamá! Entre otras cosas, una gran noticia, ya que nuestro seminarista y amigo, Edwin Ortiz, está a punto de ser ordenado diácono de transición el sábado 3 de noviembre. Eddie se convertirá en PADRE Edwin el próximo junio. Que orgullosa esta Santa María y Santa Gertrudis de su hijo. Nos complace decir que un joven amigo de la República Dominicana, el
Padre Nelson, estará con nosotros durante el mes de noviembre. Le damos la bienvenida con los brazos abiertos ... ¡y quizás algunos de nosotros podamos ayudarlo a aprender algo de inglés!

Prayer for Priests
O Jesus, our great High Priest, hear my humble prayers on behalf of your priests. Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm hope and a burning love which will ever increase
in the course of their priestly life.
In their loneliness, comfort them. In their sorrows, strengthen them. In their frustrations, point out to them that it is through suffering that the soul is purified, and
show them that they are needed by the Church; they are needed by souls; they are needed for the work of
redemption.
Amen.
Oración por los Sacerdotes
Oh Jesús, nuestro Sumo Sacerdote, escucha mi humilde oración en nombre de tus sacerdotes. Dales una fe pro-
funda, una esperanza firme y brillante y un amor ardiente que crezca en el curso de su vida sacerdotal.
En su soledad, confórtalos. En sus tristezas, fortalécelos. En sus frustraciones, señálales que es a través del sufri-miento que el alma se purifica, y muéstrales que son ne-cesarios para la Iglesia, que son necesarios para las al-mas, y ante todo que son necesarios para la obra de la
redención.
Amén.
Finalmente, mientras hablamos sobre el sacerdocio, su comunidad religiosa le ha pedido al Padre Innasi que regrese al su trabajo en India y Canadá. Como muchos de ustedes saben, el Padre Innasi es uno de los líderes de su gran y creciente comunidad de Hermanos y Sacerdotes. Estoy tratando de que el Padre Innasi regrese por unos días y nos ofrezca una Misa de acción de gracias. Los mantendré informados. En este fin de semana del sacerdocio, estoy personalmente agradecido por todo el apoyo y el amor que siempre ha mostrado a sus sacerdotes. Todos los sacerdotes y seminaristas que han servido aquí siempre hablan maravillosamente de
Santa María y Santa Gertrudis! Padre Frank
Finally, as we are talking about clergy, Father Innasi has been asked by his religious com-munity to take up work back in India and Canada. As most of you know, Father Innasi is one of the leaders of his large, and growing, community of Brothers and Priests. I’m trying to arrange for Father Innasi to come back for a few days and offer a mass of thanksgiving. I’ll keep you all post-ed on that. On this priesthood weekend, I am personally grateful for the support and love that you have always shown to your priests. Every priest and semi-narian who has ever served here al-ways speak glowingly of St. Mary/St. Gertrude! Father Frank
5 Ways to Let Your Parish Priests Know You Appreciate Them
1. Tell them that you love and appreciate them. 2. Pray for them; pray more, complain less. 3. Write them a note expressing your gratitude. 4. Give him space. 5. Save the drama for ‘yo mama.’
Happy Priesthood Appreciation Day to: Father Frank, Father David and Father White
5 maneras de que nuestros sacerdotes sepan que los apreciamos
1. Diles que los amas y los aprecias. 2. Ora por ellos; Reza más, y quéjate menos. 3. Escríbeles una nota expresando tu gratitud. 4. Dale su espacio. 5. Deja el drama para 'Tu mamá'.
Feliz día de apreciación al sacerdocio al: el Padre Frank, el Padre David y el Padre White.
