Seventeenth Sunday In Ordinary Time PRAYER AND WORSHIP 4:00 PM SATURDAY MASS Beginning June 11th through September 3rd, there will be a Mass at 4:00 PM every Saturday at Holy Trinity Catholic School in Longs. There will be Confession before Mass from 2:30 to 3:30 PM. We hope this additional Mass will be the perfect solution for you if you wish to avoid the busy summer traffic in North Myrtle Beach on a Saturday afternoon. Directions to Holy Trinity from Our Lady Star of the Sea. Turn left onto Highway 17, turn right on Robert Edge Parkway. Continue on the parkway (2 traffic lights). After second light, go straight and the road will continue on to Highway 90 (toward Conway). After approximately 4 miles, look for large billboard with ad for Holy Trinity Catholic School and make a right onto Star Bluff Rd. Continue for about one mile and make a right turn at the sign for Holy Trinity. W V M While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful is to turn to the Blessed Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As human beings, we can’t do everything. But the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do wonders. The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that every family may experience visitation for one week from our Visiting Madonna.

Reason for Optimism for LIFE Following South Dakota's enactment of the most pro-life law in America, Roe v. Wade may well be revisited in the not too distant future. As a result, USA Today recently published an article (based largely on data from the pro-abortion group, the Alan Guttmacher Institute) which predicts what would be likely to happen if Roe v. Wade were overturned and abortion became a state-by-state issue again. The results are quite surprising and positive for LIFE. Only 16 states are likely to continue abortion on demand---any time, any place, for any reason---if Roe v Wade were overturned. This would include seven states on the West Coast and almost every state in the Northeast, but only a third of the U.S population. By contrast, at least 22 states containing half of all Americans would almost definitely enact either complete or near-complete abortion bans, recognizing that the unborn child is a person, deserving of basic human rights like the rest of us. This is very encouraging and underlines the importance of using our influence to enact laws like the Unborn Child Amendment in South Dakota. RETROUVAILLE Retrouvaille (the French word for “rediscovery”), is a program to help married couples who are having difficulties “rediscover” that their marriage and their love for each other is worth saving. This program gives them new communications tools and attempts to re-establish trust and communication in damaged relationships. Have you ever participated in a Retrouvaille program, have you been on a weekend and want to join in furthering this program in our diocese, or are you interested in attending? If so, please contact the Office of Family Life at [email protected] or (803) 547-5063. FAMILY AND RESPECT LIFE WORKSHOP Save the date for the upcoming Family and Respect Life Workshop on September 17, 2016 at St. John Neumann Catholic School located at 721 Polo Road Columbia, SC. Registration begins at 9 am, followed by Mass at 10 am celebrated by Bishop Guglielmone. The conference will conclude at 4 pm. A $10 donation is suggested. Respect Life Coordinators at no cost. GROW YOUR FAITH Are you looking for a way to grow in your relationship with Christ? Would you like to better understand Catholic teaching on moral issues? Do you want to get more involved in service to families? Or maybe you are a ministry leader who needs continuing education or a parent looking for ways to strengthen your family? One of the best things you can do for yourself is to sign up for Family Honor’s online course, The Truth and Meaning of Sexuality, Love and Family. This online course provides useful information on topics relating to chastity education, child development, the family, theology of the body and current moral issues. Plus, the flexible online format works with your busy schedule. Go to: www.FamilyHonor.org and click the Training tab. Questions? Call or email the Family Honor office: 803.929.0858 or [email protected] Summer Semester starts June 1 and ends August 31.

Name_____________________________________ Address___________________________________ City_______________________St_______Zip____ Telephone___________________________________ Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar DECIMO SEPTIMO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO EL PODER DE LA ORACION (Evangelio de San Lucas 11, 1-13) Queridos Hermanos: La Liturgia de este Domingo nos presenta el gran poder que tiene la Oración, si nosotros le pedimos con fe a Dios cuando acudimos a El. Especialmente, la Liturgia nos presenta como Jesús nos enseña a orar a través de la Oración del "Padre Nuestro". Por lo tanto; ayudado del Internet, quiero compartir la siguiente meditación del "Padre Nuestro". "Padre Nuestro que estás en los cielos"...Pero, ¿Cómo puedes decir Padre Nuestro, sin recordar que todos son tus hermanos, cómo puedes decir que estás en el cielo, si tú no sabes que el cielo es la paz , que el cielo es el amor a todos?... "Santificado sea tu Nombre..." Recuerda que: Santificado significa: Digno de respeto, Santo, Sagrado. "Venga a nosotros tu reino, hágase tu voluntad , así en la tierra como en el cielo..." ¿Y que es lo que tú haces para que eso suceda?...Que tal el hecho de que tratas a tus hermanos igual que como gastas tu dinero, el mucho tiempo que miras la televisión, las revelaciones por las que corres detrás, y el poco tiempo que dedicas a Dios?... Si estás pidiendo la voluntad de Dios, tienes que aceptar el frío, el sol, la lluvia, la naturaleza , la comunidad, tus vecinos, las tristezas y las alegrías..."Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día"... Pero recuerda que, "No solo de pan vive el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios"...Por lo tanto; preocúpese más por el pan espiritual que por el pan material; vive mucho más de la Palabra de Dios, vive más la Sagrada Eucaristía. Recuerda ayudar a los pobres y necesitados...El pan y la comida se deben compartir... "Perdona nuestras ofensas, así como nosotros perdonamos aquellos que nos han ofendido..." ...Reflexiona; si tú eres capaz y estás dispuesto a perdonar a tus enemigos...¿No haz pensado en la venganza y desquite?...Recuerda, que la venganza no es tan dulce como parece. Piensa en la tristeza que más te causaría, piensa en tu tristeza de ahora, piensa en tu tristeza y soledad del después. Es importante un cambio interior, una actitud de perdón... Solo basta con que tú lo quieras!! Por eso; perdona a tu hermano, perdona a quien te ha ofendido, y así; Dios también te perdonará de todas tus culpas y pecados. Porque de lo contrario; si no lo haces, entonces no le pida a Dios que te perdone...Porque para que Dios perdone nuestros pecados, es necesario que nosotros perdonemos a nuestros enemigos. Dios es maravilloso y siempre nos ofrece su perdón, su amor y su misericordia. " Líbranos de caer en la tentación mas líbranos de todo mal"... Si eso quieres, entonces, deja de andar en compañía de personas que llevan a participar de cosas malas, intrigas, injurias, que alimentan siempre el odio y la discriminación. Abandona la maldad, el odio, el desamor, el desapego... muchas cosas que tú sabes que te hacen daño. Todo eso te va a librar del camino errado; pero...No uses todo esto como salida de emergencia!! ... Porque muchas veces, entras en el error por tu terquedad, y después corres a pedirle auxilio y socorro a Dios. "AMÉN!"... Recuerdas o sabes lo que quiere decir Amén?...Es el final de la oración!.. Y por lo tanto; tú debes decir AMEN, cuando aceptas todo lo que Dios quiere... Cuando estás de acuerdo con la voluntad de Dios, cuando sigues sus mandamientos y enseñanzas... Porque, AMEN, quiere decir , ASÍ SEA... Es decir; tú estás de acuerdo con Dios... y haces todo lo que El te manda... y tú estás dispuesto a obedecer a Dios... Recuerda que Dios siempre nos bendice, nos ama y nos perdona siempre. Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a meditar y vivir esta bella oración que Cristo nos enseñó, como es la Oración del Padre Nuestro. Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando. EVANGELIZACION CATEQUESIS PARA ADULTOS (R.I.C.A.) El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos es un proceso de conversión y crecimiento espiritual, que toma tiempo, en nuestra relación con Dios y la Iglesia. Es un camino de fe donde los adultos están totalmente bienvenidos en la Iglesia Católica.
