Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 23, 2015
ENTRANCE ANTIPHON
WELCOME
ORDER OF WORSHIP
The parishioners of St. Andrew Catholic Church
are happy to extend a warm welcome to the many
visitors who join us for worship today.
August 23, 2015
The Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
Introit Antiphon
Liturgy of the Word
St. Andrew Parish,
a Roman Catholic community, seeks to nurture the faith and
serve the needs of parishioners and visitors by proclaiming
the Gospel of Jesus Christ through active stewardship,
ministries of word and sacrament, programs of Christian
formation, and works of charity and justice.
GUIDELINES FOR THE
RECEPTION OF
HOLY COMMUNION
As Catholics, we fully participate in
the celebration of the Mass when we receive Holy
Communion, the true Body and Blood of the Lord.
Yet, we Catholics should receive Holy Communion
only when we are living in communion with the
Catholic Church and in the state of sanctifying grace
and have made the appropriate fast from food and
drink.
Because of the connection we draw between being in
full communion with the Catholic Church and
receiving Holy Communion, we cannot invite those
who are not Catholic to share in Holy Communion
with us. Still, we welcome all to this celebration of the
Mass as our brothers and sisters, and pray that our
common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit will
one day draw us closer “…that all may be one.”
(John 17:22)

WORD OF LIFE
“As persons with disabilities share their gifts and
needs, they bring out the best in our mutual
humanity. They challenge us to live the Gospel
precepts of charity in the real world, to sacrifice
some of our comfort for others, to take the time to
enable them to be full members of society. They
need to feel our solidarity with them, and to know
their true dignity and worth as fellow sisters and
brothers in Christ.”
~ Excerpt from Life Matters:

ST. ANDREW SCHOLARSHIP - 2ND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND AUGUST 23
Dear St. Andrew Friends and Family,
This weekend our second collection will benefit the Scholarship Fund at St. Andrew Catholic
School. Our mission at St. Andrew is to nurture the Catholic faith, inspire academic excellence and
lead our students in a life of service to the Catholic Church and the greater community within a
safe environment where every child is known and loved.
Last year the parishioners at St. Andrew generously donated
$18,440 to our scholarship fund. Our families at school worked
diligently to raise scholarship funds through our annual Derby
Days event and this year an auction of items created by the
school children. Through these combined efforts, over $74,000
was awarded to families in need for the 2015-2016 school year.
Through your generosity and our diligence in fundraising, we
were able to provide tuition assistance to 29 students, aiding
17 families in our school.
We hope you prayerfully consider contributing to our Scholarship Fund, or even sponsoring a child for a Catholic education,
so that we can continue to educate children in light of our mission and the Gospel values of Jesus Christ.
God Bless, Debbie Wilfong, Principal

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Big News:
the Catechism of the Catholic Church
is back in the Pews!
6,144 went home already!
One of the greatest achievements of Pope John Paul II was
the promulgation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
This Catechism will serve as the standard for all future
catechisms. “A sure norm for teaching the Faith”, as the
Pope said.
Please take and study this Catechism in your own home.
This Catechism costs $5.00 each. Inside the front cover of
each book you will find an ENVELOPE as follows:
Dear Sister or Brother in Christ:
This Catechism of the Catholic Church is a most
handy summary of the Faith that we profess as
Christians. We hope you will take it to your home and
read it.
We would thank you for helping out with the costs of
this ministry - at $5.00 for each copy of this Catechism if you are able to donate that amount (or more, or less)
by placing your donation in this envelope and then into
the collection basket.
Be blessed in the study of your Catechism.

"SEÑOR TU TIENES PALABRAS DE VIDA ETERNA"
(Evangelio de San Juan 6,60-69)
Queridos Hermanos:
Jesús por varios Domingos nos ha venido hablando
acerca de la Sagrada Eucaristía. Y el Evangelio de este
Domingo, nos narra la última parte de este gran discurso
de Jesús sobre la Sagrada Eucaristía o Santa
Misa.
Aquella multitud de personas que se
entusiasmaron por Jesús, porque El les había dado de
comer a través de la multiplicación de los panes y
pescados, ahora no quieren dar el paso decisive de la
fe: Creer en Jesús. No pueden concebir y aceptar esa
verdad de Jesucristo: "Mi Carne es verdadera Comida y
mi Sangre es verdadera Bebida". Cuando la multitud
escuchó estas palabras de labios de Jesús, se
escandalizaron y se fueron. Solamente quedó Jesús
con sus doce Apóstoles. Ellos representan la Iglesia
que Cristo fundó, cuyo líder o cabeza es Pedro. Por eso
la pregunta que Jesús le hace a los doce: "Ustedes
también se quieren ir?... Y la respuesta de Pedro como
cabeza y jefe del grupo de los Apóstoles: "Señor, a
quién vamos a ir...Nosotros sabemos que Tú tienes
palabras de Vida Eterna...Nosotros sabemos que Tú
eres eres el Santo de Dios. (Jesús es Dios).
Es importante resaltar también, la diferencia que Jesús
nos hace entre "carne" y "espíritu", es decir; entre las
dos concepciones de la persona, y en consecuencia, de
Jesús y su mision. A estas dos concepciones de la
persona, corresponden dos visiones de Jesús: El
Mesías según la "carne", es el rey que ellos han querido
hacer, un rey dominante que impone su gobierno, un
Mesías politico, triunfante y guerrero. El Mesías según
el "espíritu", es el que se hace servidor de todos y
muere por todos.
Hoy, Jesús nos invita a tomar una decision radical: O
bien pongo a Cristo, en el mismo nivel que otras
grandes figuras de la humanidad; o bien me decido, a
experimentar personalmente, que Jesús es Unico en su
Persona y en su mensaje. Estamos invitados a vivir
aquellas palabras de Pedro: "Señor a quien vamos a ir,
Tú tienes palabras de Vida Eterna".
Pidámosle a la Virgen
María, para que Ella, nos
ayude a seguir a Jesús,
con nuestras palabras,
obras
y
acciones,
creyendo siempre que El
está presente en la
Sagrada Eucaristía.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.
