A MESSAGE FROM THE POPE
WORKING ON SUNDAY
Dear brothers and sisters of the world of work,
I thank you for your welcome. Thank you for having shared
with me the reality that you live, the struggles and
hopes. The Rector has taken a phrase that I once said: that
our God is a God of surprises. It 's true, every day there is
one, such is our Father. But he said something else about
God, that I will now take: God that breaks the mold. And if
we don't have the courage to break the mold, we will never
go forward because our God impels us to do this, to be
creative about the future.
My visit to Molise begins from this encounter with the world
of work, but the place in which we find ourselves is the
university. And this is significant: it expresses the importance
of research and training for responding to new and complex
questions that the current economic crisis poses, locally, nationally and internationally. We heard the testimony a little
while ago of a young farmer with his choice to do a degree course in agriculture and to work on the land "by vocation". A
good training program does not offer easy solutions, but it helps to have a more open and creative view to better exploit
the area's resources.
I fully agree with what has been said about "safeguarding" the earth, so that it bear fruit without being "exploited". This is
one of the greatest challenges of our time: converting ourselves to a development that respects creation. In America, my
homeland, I see many forests, which have been stripped, [areas] that become land that cannot be cultivated, that cannot
give life. This is our sin: we exploit the earth and do not let it give us what it harbors within, with the help of our
cultivation.
Another challenge has emerged from the voice of the working mom, who also spoke on behalf of her family: her husband,
the young child and the child in the womb. Hers is a plea for work and at the same time for the family. Thank you for this
testimony! In fact, this is the time to try to reconcile work with family life.
I'll tell you one thing: I hear confessions; not so much now as I did in the other dioceses. When a young mom or a dad
comes to me, I ask: 'How many children do you have?' and I have another question,: 'Tell me, do you play with your
children?' Most respond: ‘Pardon Father?' - 'Yes, yes: do you play? Do you waste time with your kids?' We are losing this
knowledge, this wisdom of how to play with our kids. The economic situation compels us to this, to lose this. Please waste
time with your children! On Sunday: she referred to Sunday as the family day, to spend time together.
This is a "critical" point, a point that allows us to discern, to assess the quality of the human economic system in which we
find ourselves. And within this context is the issue of Sunday working, which affects not only believers but everyone as an
ethical choice. The question is: to what do we want to give priority? The work-free Sunday - with the exception of
necessary services - is to say that the priority is not economic but human, to gratuity, to non-commercial relations but
family, friends, for believers to be in relation with God and with the community. Perhaps it is time to ask whether to work
on Sundays is a true freedom.
Dear friends, today I would like to add my voice to that of many workers and employers of this region in asking that it can
be implemented here as a "labour pact." I saw that in Molise you are trying to respond to the tragedy of unemployment
by joining forces in a constructive way. Many jobs could be recovered through an agreed strategy with the national
authorities, a "labour pact" that knows how to seize the opportunities offered by national and European norms. I
encourage you to go ahead on this road, which can lead to good results here as well as in other regions.
Finally, I would like to tell you that I was struck by the fact that you have given me a painting that really represents
"maternity". Motherhood involves labour, but the labour of childbirth is oriented to life, is full of hope. So not only do I
thank you for this gift, but I thank you even more for the testimony which it contains: that of a hopeful labour. Thank you!
Pope Francis, Address at the University at Campobasso, 5 July 2014
NOW A WORD FROM OUR SAINTS
Saint Cyril of Alexandria
LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM MARTHA AND MARY
You who love the virtues which adorn piety, and carefully practice every
art which become the Saints, again come and listen to the Sacred
doctrine, and let not the method of hospitality be unknown to you. For it
is a great and valuable quality, as the wise Paul testifies, where he writes,
"Forget not hospitality: for thereby some have entertained angels
unawares." Let us learn therefore of Christ, the Saviour of all, this also,
as well as all other things. For it would be a disgrace to us, that while
those who desire worldly wisdom, and gather written learning, select the
best teachers for their instructors; we who are encouraged to pay
earnest heed to doctrines of such surpassing value, and may have as our
instructor and teacher Christ the Giver of all wisdom, do not imitate this
woman in her love of learning, even Mary, who sat at the Saviour's feet,
and filled her heart with the doctrines He taught, feeling as if she could
never have enough of what so profited her.
For the Saviour lodged with the holy women, but Mary, it says, listened
to Him as He taught; while the other, Martha, was distracted with much
service. She therefore besought Him that her sister might share her carefulness with her. But Christ
consented not, saying, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and busied about many things: only few things
are required, or but one." And He further praised Mary that "she had chosen the good part, which shall not
be taken away from her." For the acquisition of spiritual blessings is never lost.
The first thing however which we must examine is the manner in which the Saviour again benefits His
disciples, by setting Himself before them as an example, in order that they may know how and in what
manner to behave in the houses of such as receive them. For they must not immediately on entering
indulge themselves in relaxation, or suppose that this is the reason why they lodge with men, but rather
that they may fill them with every blessing, and the divine and sacred doctrines. So somewhere the blessed
Paul also sends a message to certain: "For I desire to see you, that I may give you some spiritual gift, that
you may be confirmed." Observe therefore, that our Lord Jesus Christ, on entering to lodge with these holy
women, did not cease from giving instruction, but still grants them, without stint, the sober doctrines of
salvation. And one of these women was steadfast in her love of hearing: but Martha was distracted with
much service. Does anyone then blame her for being occupied with careful service? By no means. For
neither does the Saviour chide her for having proposed to herself the discharge of this duty; but rather He
blamed her, as one who was labouring in vain, by wishing to procure more than was necessary. And this He
did for our benefit, that He might fix a limit to hospitality. For far better is that other part, of earnestly
desiring the divine doctrine.
We do not then say that the wish to entertain strangers, when it does not aim at anything excessive, is to
be despised, and is no service. The Saints especially are bound to be content with little, and when they eat,
and are prevailed upon to draw near to the table, they do so, rather to appease the infirmity of the body, in
accordance with the laws of nature, than as caring about pleasure and relaxation. When therefore we
lodge with the brethren, in wishing to reap their corporeal things, let us first sow for them things spiritual;
and imitating therein careful husbandmen, let us lay bare their hearts, lest some root of bitterness spring
up and injure them: lest the worm of human innovation attack them, and work in them secret decay. And
if anything like this has happened, then thrusting forthwith into their minds the saving word of instruction,
like the teeth of the mattock, let us eradicate the root of ungodliness; let us pluck up the heretical darnel
from the very bottom; let us implant the knowledge of the truth: thus we may reap the corporeal things of
those who have a superfluity, receiving them as a matter of debt: for the workman, He says, is worthy of his
hire. And the Law of Moses, hinting at the same truth, says somewhere in like manner, "You shall not
muzzle the trampling ox." And as Paul said, "Does God care about oxen? Or does He say it altogether for
our sakes?" You therefore will give things more valuable than those you receive from men: for things
temporal. You will give things eternal: for earthly things; things heavenly: for the things of sense, things
intellectual: for the things that perish, things that endure. And thus much of those who receive hospitality.
But let those who open to them their house, meet them cheerfully, and with alacrity, and as their fellows:
and not so much as those who give, but as those who receive: as those who gain, and not as those who
expend. And the more so as they profit doubly; for in the first place they enjoy the instruction of those
whom they hospitably entertain: and secondly, they also win the reward of hospitality. Every way
therefore they are profited. When however they receive the brethren into their house, let them not be
distracted with much service. Let them not seek anything beyond their means, or more than sufficient. For
everywhere and in everything excess is injurious. For often it produces hesitation in those who otherwise
would be glad to receive strangers, and causes but few [houses] to be found fit for the purpose: while it
proves a cause of annoyance to those who are entertained. For the rich in this world delight in costly
banquets; and in many kinds of viands, prepared curiously often with sauces and flavours; a mere
sufficiency is utterly scorned, while that which is extravagant is
praised, and a profusion beyond all satiety is admired, and
crowned with words of flattery. The drinkings and revellings are
excessive; and the draining of cups, and courses of wines, the
means of intoxication and gluttony. But when holy men are
assembled at the house of one who fears God, let the table be
plain and temperate, the viands simple, and free from
superfluities: but little to eat, and that meagre and scant: and a
limited sufficiency of drink. In everything a small supply of such
necessaries as will allay the bodily appetite with simple fare. So
must men receive strangers. So too Abraham by the oak at
Mamre, received those three men, and won as the reward of his
carefulness, the promise of his beloved son Isaac. So Lot in Sodom
honoured the angels, and for so doing, was not destroyed by fire
with the rest; nor became the prey of the inextinguishable flame.
Very great therefore is the virtue of hospitality, and especially
worthy of the Saints: let us therefore also practice it, for so will the
heavenly Teacher lodge and rest in our hearts, even Christ; by
Whom and with Whom, to God the Father be praise and
dominion, with the Holy Ghost, for ever and ever, Amen.

SCHOOL’S OUT DRIVE CAREFULLY (both on and off the road)
NEWS FROM THE DE LA SALLE SCHOOL
From 27 June – 8 July, ten young men from The De La Salle School in grades 5 and 6 attended
Old Westbury Summer Camp at Holy Child Academy. Our students were able to attend on a
scholarship provided through the generosity of a benefactor and the kindness of Holy Child
Academy. Funds were raised to provide busing and lunch for these young men through the sale
of balloons at the annual Gala held this year at Chateau Briand.
The day started at 9:00 A.M. and ended at 4:00 P.M. and was packed with a variety of programs and activities to
fill out the day. The daily program included two workshops of each camper’s choice, tennis lessons, and mixed
sports along with other rotating activities throughout the two-week session. Brother Thomas, Brother Timothy
and Mr. Gault had an opportunity to visit the camp and witness first-hand the great time our students had during
their camping experience.

THE SPIRIT OF GENEROSITY
AND THE MERRICK CAR WASH
(1820 SUNRISE HIGHWAY)
Ever since my arrival as Our Holy Redeemer’s tenth Pastor I have experienced and acknowledged the
Spirit of Generosity by which the Church in Freeport lives! That Spirit continues to express itself in new
ways, and in new places as well, such as the Merrick Car Wash located at 1820 Sunrise Highway. The
owner of that carwash (a parishioner of Our Holy Redeemer), nourished at the Altar in our absolutely
beautiful church, is offering bearers of this bulletin page, $3.00 off their car wash! Not only that, a
percentage of that sale – in fact a percentage of EVERY sale – will be sent to Our Holy Redeemer!
Please cut and use the coupons (expire 30 September 2016) below for your next three visits! Make
sure you tell them that Our Holy Redeemer sent you, and let us pray in thanksgiving for the Spirit of
Generosity that not only will help keep our cars clean, but thanks to Our Holy Redeemer, made us
clean too!

A Prayer for Priests by John Cardinal O'Connor, March 1995
Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for OUR needs. We pray for them in THEIR
needs. We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of your own priesthood. You have consecrated them, set them
aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive, and to
feed us with Your Body and Blood. Yet we know, too, that they are one with us and share our human weaknesses. We know too that
they are tempted to sin and discouragement, as are we, needing to be ministered to, as do we, to be consoled and forgiven, as do
we. Indeed, we thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they understand us as we understand them, suffer with us and
rejoice with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our lives, our faith.
We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your chosen ones on the way to Emmaus:
Your presence in their hearts, Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits.
And let them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic Bread.
We pray to You, O Lord, with Mary, the mother of priests, for Your priests and for ours. Amen.

SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one
thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her” (See Luke 10:38-42)..
Martha and Mary were good friends of Jesus. The above words are preceded by the fact that
“Martha welcomed Him” into their house. Sometimes we look up to Mary and put Martha down.
But we must realize that both Martha and Mary are necessary in the church. The ideal thing is to
combine both in our hearts. We need to be Mary sitting at the feet of Jesus and listening to Him.
We all need to have a prayer life. No question about that. But, we also need to busy ourselves in
the affairs of the kingdom and thus, be like Martha. We need to pray. We also need to work. In
fact, true prayer leads to action. It is wonderful to be with people that are not lazy and that go
out of their way to lend a helping hand. It is also wonderful to be with those that treasure prayer.
Both things should not be opposites. To the contrary they should complement each other in the
Christian life. So, instead of being Martha or Mary, be Martha Mary!

 MENSAJE DE MLK Y FDA 
17 DE JULIO DE 2016
“EL MUNDO ESTÁ EN MAL ESTADO. LA NACIÓN ENFERMA.
EL PAÍS EN PROBLEMAS; CONFUSIÓN POR TODAS PARTES.”
(Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)
“Esa es una declaración extraña” dijo King en su discurso “He subido a la
Montaña” del 3 de abril de 1968, “pero sé” continuó “que solo cuando
está muy oscuro se pueden ver las estrellas. Y veo a Dios trabajando en
esta parte del siglo veinte de tal modo que los hombres, aunque parezca
extraño, están respondiendo.”
Si hombres del siglo veinte como Martin Luther King Jr. respondieron de
un modo pacífico, sin violencia, a las injusticias de su época, entonces no
hay razón para que nosotros en el siglo veintiuno no podamos responder
a la injusticia del mismo modo. Como dijo King en el mismo discurso: “No
tenemos que discutir con nadie. No tenemos que maldecir ni hablar mal.
No tenemos que tirar ladrillos o botellas.” ¡Tenemos que dirigirnos a
Jesús! Eso fue lo que hizo el Reverendo King. Y eso es lo que lo que “un
doctor en leyes” hizo. Así es como lo explica King:
“Un día un hombre vino a Jesús, que quería plantear algunas preguntas acerca de ciertas cuestiones
fundamentales de la vida. En ciertos puntos quería engatusar a Jesús, y mostrarle que sabía más que Él y
sacarlo fuera de base....
La cuestión hubiera podido terminar en un debate filosófico y teológico. Pero Jesús inmediatamente sacó la
pregunta de su estado rarificado y la colocó en camino de Jerusalén a Jericó y le habló acerca de un hombre
que cayó entre ladrones. Usted se recordará que un sacerdote y un levita le pasaron de lado y no se detuvieron
para ayudarle. Y finalmente un hombre de otra raza pasó por allí. Se bajó de su animal, le administró los
primeros auxilios y lo ayudó en su necesidad. Jesús terminó diciendo, que éste fue el hombre bueno, que este
fue el gran hombre, porque tuvo la capacidad de proyectar su “Yo” en “ti,” e interesarse en su hermano.
A veces usamos nuestra imaginación para tratar de determinar por qué el sacerdote y el Levita no se
detuvieron. A veces decimos que iban de prisa a una reunión en la iglesia o a una convocación eclesiástica y
tenían que seguir en su camino a Jerusalén para no llegar tarde. Otras veces especulamos que había una ley
religiosa que no les permitía tocar un cuerpo humano veinticuatro horas antes de la ceremonia. Y entonces
comenzamos a preguntarnos si en realidad iban a Jerusalén. Quizá se dirigían a Jericó para organizar una
“Asociación de Mejoras para el Camino a Jericó.” Esa es una posibilidad. Quizás les pareció que era mejor
tratar con el problema en sus raíces causales, en vez de enredarse con un efecto individual.
Pero voy a decirle lo que me dice mi imaginación. Es posible que esos hombres tuvieran miedo. El camino a
Jericó es un camino peligroso. Recuerdo que cuando la Sra. King y yo fuimos por primera vez a Jerusalén
alquilamos un auto e hicimos el viaje de Jerusalén a Jericó. Y en cuanto emprendimos la marcha le dije a mi
esposa, “Puedo ver por qué Jesús usó este camino como marco para su parábola.” Es un camino serpenteante
y sinuoso que se presta a emboscadas. Uno comienza en Jerusalén que está cerca de 1200 millas, o más bien
1,200 pies sobre el nivel del mal y cuando llega a Jericó quince o veinte minutos después está a
aproximadamente 2,200 pies bajo el nivel del mar. Es un camino peligroso. En los días de Jesús se le conocía
como “El Paso Sangriento”. Y es posible que el sacerdote y el levita al ver al hombre en el suelo se preguntaran
si los ladrones seguían por allí. O es posible que hayan pensado que tal vez el hombre estaba fingiendo y
estaba actuando como si le hubieran robado y herido, a fin de atrapar al incauto para robarle. Y por eso la
primera pregunta que el sacerdote y el levita se hicieron fue: “si me detengo para ayudar a este hombre, ¿qué
me va a pasar a mí? Pero entonces pasó el Buen Samaritano y él invirtió la pregunta: “¿Si no me detengo a
ayudar a este hombre que le va a pasar a él?”
REFLEXIÓN SEMANAL
“Marta, Marta, muchas cosas te preocupan y te inquietan, siendo así que una sola es necesaria.
María escogió la mejor parte y nadie se la quitará” (Vea Lucas 10:38-42). Marta y María eran
buenas amigas de Jesús. Las palabras anteriores son precedidas en el Evangelio de hoy por el
hecho de que “Marta, lo recibió en su casa.” A veces algunos de nosotros admiramos a María y
desdeñamos a Marta. Pero tenemos que comprender que tanto Marta como María son necesarias
en la iglesia. Lo ideal sería combinar a ambas en nuestro corazón. Necesitamos al igual que María
sentarnos a los pies de Jesús y escucharlo. Es decir, necesitamos tener una vida de oración. Eso no
se puede dudar. Pero, también tenemos que afanarnos por los asuntos del reino y de ese modo
también ser como Marta. Necesitamos orar, pero también necesitamos trabajar. De hecho, la
oración verdadera conduce a la obra. Es maravilloso estar con gente que no son vagas y que se
desviven por prestar ayuda a otros. También es maravilloso estar con gente que se deleita en la
oración. Ambas cosas no deben estar opuestas. Al contrario deben complementarse una a otra en la vida cristiana. Por
eso en vez de ser una Marta, o una María, ¡sea Marta María!

Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
Los Diez Mandamientos Explicados por el Catecismo
2638 Al igual que en la oración de petición, todo acontecimiento y toda necesidad pueden convertirse en ofrenda de
acción de gracias. Las cartas de san Pablo comienzan y terminan frecuentemente con una acción de gracias, y el Señor
Jesús siempre está presente en ella. “En todo dad gracias, pues esto es lo que Dios, en Cristo Jesús, quiere de vosotros”
(1 Ts 5, 18). “Sed perseverantes en la oración, velando en ella con acción de gracias” (Col 4, 2).

CHOOSING
THE
BETTER PART
Jesus entered a village where
a woman whose name was
Martha welcomed Him. She
had a sister named Mary who
sat beside the Lord at His
feet listening to Him speak.
Martha, burdened with much
serving, came to Him and
said, “Lord, do you not care
that my sister has left me by
myself to do the serving?
Tell her to help me.” The
Lord said to her in reply,
“Martha, Martha, you are
anxious and worried about
many things. There is need
of only one thing. Mary has
chosen the better part and it
will not be taken from her.”
