“From the Desk of Father Jonathan”
Did you have the same feeling I had when Pope Francis' plane
left the United States en route to the Vatican? I was sad....but
also very grateful. I was sad to see him leave, but so grateful
to him, and to God, for what Francis left us. He set our hearts
on fire. He gave us hope. He showed us how to love.
The next feeling--once the plane was in the air--was one of
excitement. "Jonathan", I thought. "now you get to go back to
the parish and neighborhood and try to live out what Pope
Francis has invited you to do." I know Fr. Urbano,
Fr. Livinus, and our beloved Sisters Edna, Martina, and
Jeasmin feel the same way.
I hope you are equally as excited to carry out this mission
with us as a parish family.
On a very practical note, by now you have seen the
scaffolding that is encircling our church. Soon we will begin
the arduous project of repointing the brick, scraping the windows, fixing the bell towers and roof, and lighting up the exterior.
With God's help we will make sure Our Lady of Mt. Carmel
is in great shape for generations to come. But as we do this
work, let's not forget...our buildings mean nothing if we aren't
growing our ministry. Let’s do both at the same time.

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Sunday Gospel: Mark 10: 2-16
RIFLESSIONE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO
Vangelo della Domenica : Marco 10: 2-16
The basis of Jewish law says Jesus, is that all human
Nel contesto della manifestazione del Figlio dell’uomo
beings are created equal in the image of God. The
disciples attempt to keep some children and their parents
from disturbing Jesus, probably thinking that women and
children were not important enough to disturb the
Master! Jesus is indignant. Gathering the children, he
says self-important people should imitate them. Young
children usually accept the rules of life without
quibbling over details. They accept the love of parents
and trust that rules are for their well-being, even if they
do not fully understand them. A loving Father offers us
the gift of faith. Jesus is asking us to be child-like,
accepting this gift with simplicity and trust. Discussing
faith is fine, but we cannot stop there.
Since we do not earn faith—it is freely given to us—we
are called to express this faith in how we live our lives.
We are equal in God’s sight and equally responsible to
live up to our calling.
Living Stewardship Now
We have an equal responsibility to serve, yet in the average
parish 20 percent of the parishioners do 80 percent of the
work and the giving. What can you do, beginning today,
to change that percentage?
A Prayer for our new Pastor
~ Father Jonathan ~
May the Good Shepherd be your guide
in the months and years ahead as you
lead His people and may Our Lady of
Mt. Carmel keep you in Her tender
care.
God bless you!
Dio ti benedica!
¡Dios te bendiga!

~ Please have your pet on a leash or in a cage ~
e dopo il secondo annuncio della passione, Marco
espone - come complemento catechetico l’insegnamento sulla indissolubilità del matrimonio, e i
comportamenti richiesti per fare parte del regno di Dio.
Gesù cambia scena (Mc 10,1): va in Giudea. Espone con
autorità messianica - non a un gruppo ma al popolo l’indissolubilità del matrimonio come un principio
universale. San Marco non entra nelle discussioni dei
rabbini sulla legislazione del divorzio. Coglie con fedeltà
le parole di Gesù, senza tener conto della clausola
eccezionale trasmessa da (Mt 19,9). Marco, rivolgendosi
a comunità di gentili, e andando al di là del mondo
giudaico, ricorre alla Genesi (Gen 1,27 e 2,24):
nell’unione indissolubile del matrimonio brillano,
folgoranti, l’immagine e la somiglianza poste da Dio
nell’uomo e nella donna. Gesù spiega e chiarisce la
volontà del Creatore.
L’atteggiamento di Gesù con i bambini fa trasparire la
fiducia con la quale bisogna ricevere Dio come Padre
(Abbà), la protezione e la sicurezza della paternità
divina. Alcune tradizioni patristiche hanno scoperto
nell’atteggiamento di Gesù con i bambini un’allusione
implicita al battesimo dei bambini.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Evangelio del Domingo: Marcos 10: 2-16
La base de toda la ley judía, dice Jesús, es que todos los
seres humanos son iguales y creados a imagen de Dios.
Los discípulos intentan alejar a algunos niños y sus
padres de Jesús pensando probablemente que ¡las
mujeres y los niños no eran lo suficientemente
importantes como para molestar al Maestro! Jesús se
indigna. Acercándose a los niños dice que la gente que
se cree importante debe imitar a esos pequeños. Los
niños pequeños normalmente aceptan las reglas de la
vida sin poner objeciones con respecto a los detalles.
Ellos aceptan el amor de sus padres y confían en que las
reglas son para su beneficio aunque no las entiendan del
todo. Un Padre amoroso nos ofrece el don de la fe. Jesús
nos pide que seamos como niños para aceptar ese don
con sencillez y confianza. Dialogar sobre la fe es bueno,
pero no podemos detenernos ahí. Debido a que la fe no
se gana—se nos da gratuitamente—se nos llama a
expresar esta fe por nuestra manera de vivir. Somos
iguales ante Dios e igualmente responsables de vivir a la
altura de nuestro llamado.
Viviendo la Palabra de Dios
Todos tenemos la responsabilidad de servir en la
parroquia. El veinte por ciento de los parroquianos
hacen el ochenta por ciento del trabajo y la
contribución. ¿Qué podemos hacer ya desde hoy para
cambiar tal porcentaje?
