Today I will celebrate Mass in Lourdes, France. Lourdes is the place where the
sick are received and are treated as very special people. They are given many
privileges. Many come to Lourdes to be healed physically. For some this does
not happen; rather, they are cured spiritually of mind and soul. They learn the
importance of suffering and how suffering can lead us to a closer union with God.
Mary, our mother, shows us the way to her son. “Avoid the melodrama and
self-pity over minor problems in life,” Pope Francis said in a homily last month.
“Instead, use life's inevitable difficulties to pray for strength and pray for those
who are suffering real tragedy. Our life is too easy, our complaints are
melodramatic complaints compared to the many people suffering from
debilitating disease, hunger and persecution. When people experience hardship,
they may be plagued by doubt; even Jesus on the cross asked God, ‘Why have
you forsaken me?’” The pope said that when people talk to him about their
difficult or painful situation he encourages them to keep asking God, "Why?"
“Because this, too, is a prayer…Real prayer involves being absolutely honest
before God about one's thoughts and feelings. Real prayer comes from the heart,
out of the moments one is living." People turn to prayer "… in times of darkness,
when there is no hope in life, when you can't see the light at the end of the
tunnel....” The great miracle of Lourdes today helps people who have prayed
from the depths of their heart to come out of the darkness of their infirmities and
see the light of God’s presence in their lives.
On the other hand the pope warns us that some people are “not sick, not hungry,
without pressing needs; when there's a little darkness in the soul we think we’re
martyrs and we stop praying. Someone might say, ‘I'm angry with God. I'm not
going to Mass anymore!’ But why? For such a little thing.” And he continued,
"Prepare your heart" for the inevitable moments of darkness, and “Pray as the
church prays, pray with the church for so many brothers and sisters who suffer in
exile from themselves, who are in darkness and suffering, without any hope at
hand.” Lourdes is a place of hope. Being faithful to participation in the
Eucharist, the great prayer of the Church, gives all, when praying from the depths
of their hearts, a place of hope, a place of light in the darkness of their souls.
A word of appreciation goes out to members of the Parish who participated in
St. Vincent de Paul’s first “Walk for Poor.” This was a good lesson for our young
people to help the poor. Hopefully, they now appreciate the many gifts God has
given them and not to take them for granted. Thanks also to the Bingo volunteers
who are faithful in helping the Parish; Bingo just celebrated its 4th birthday.
I am praying at the Grotto of Lourdes for the Parish; be assured that your petitions
have been placed in the Grotto.
Yours in Christ,
Father John

Powerful
Study on the
Blessed
Mother
Begins Soon
Filmed on
location in the
Holy Land,
Mary: A Biblical Walk with the
Blessed Mother will place you in
the midst of the powerful drama
of Mary’s earthly life, taking you
through her joys and her
sorrows. You will learn how she
works in our lives today, drawing
us ever closer to her divine Son.
Seeing Mary in this way will
change you forever. She will
become a part of your daily life
and help you to become more
like Christ.
Join us for Mary: A Biblical Walk
with the Blessed Mother in Saint
Joachim Hall every Wednesday
for 8 weeks, beginning October
29 at 7 PM.
Next week’s second collecƟon
supports Catholic World Missions.
By BapƟsm, all Catholics are called
to parƟcipate in the mission of the
Church and share their faith as
missionaries. World Mission Sunday gathers support for the pastoral and
evangelizing programs and needs of more than 1,150 mission dioceses in Africa, Asia,
the Pacific Islands, and remote regions of LaƟn America. The funds gathered on
World Mission Sunday are distributed in the pope’s name by the Society for the
PropagaƟon of the Faith—a PonƟfical Mission Society.
This valuable ministry has
provided over 175 Prayer
Shawls to the sick and countless
Rosaries and scapulars to the
parish.
With high demand for prayer
shawls, the ministry could use
your help making prayer shawls
and prayer shawl bags. The
group meets on most Thursday
mornings at 9:00 a.m. in FFC 5.
Contact Joyce Schoonover at
941-228-1987 or at
[email protected] if you
have quesƟons.

Hoy voy a estar celebrando misa en Lourdes, Francia. Lourdes es el lugar donde se recibe a
los enfermos y son tratados como personas muy especiales. A ellos se les dan muchos
privilegios. Muchos vienen a Lourdes a ser sanados físicamente. Para algunos de ellos esto
no sucede; más bien, ellos son curados espiritualmente de mente y alma. Ellos aprenden la
importancia del sufrimiento y cómo sufrir nos lleva a una unión más cercana con Dios.
María, nuestra madre, nos muestra el camino hacia su hijo. “Eviten el melodrama y la auto
compasión por los problemas menores en la vida,” dijo el Papa Francisco en su homilía el
mes pasado. “En cambio, usen las inevitables dificultades para orar por fortaleza y por
aquellos que están sufriendo una tragedia real. Nuestra vida es muy fácil, nuestras quejas son
quejas melodramáticas comparadas con muchas personas que están sufriendo de
enfermedades debilitantes, hambre y persecución. Cuando las personas experimentan
adversidad, ellos pueden estar plagados de dudas, aún Jesús en la cruz le preguntó a Dios,
‘¿Por qué me has abandonado?’” El papa dijo que cuando la gente le habla acerca de sus
dificultades o situaciones penosas él los alienta a seguirle preguntando a Dios, "¿Por qué?"
“Porque esto, también es una oración…La oración real involucra ser absolutamente honesto
ante Dios acerca de nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos. La oración real viene del
corazón, de los momentos que uno está viviendo." La gente se vuelve a la oración "… en
tiempos de oscuridad, cuando no hay esperanza en la vida, cuando no podemos ver la luz al
final del túnel....” El gran milagro de Lourdes ayuda hoy a la gente que ha orado desde el
fondo de su corazón a salir de la oscuridad de sus enfermedades y ver la luz de la presencia
de Dios en sus vidas.
Por otro lado el papa nos advierte que algunas personas “no están enfermas, hambrientas o
sin necesidades apremiantes; cuando hay un poquito de oscuridad en el alma nosotros
creemos que somos mártires y dejamos de orar. Alguno podrá decir, ‘Yo estoy molesto con
Dios. ¡Ya no voy más a misa!’ ¿Pero por qué? Por algo tan pequeño.” Y él continúa,
"Prepare su corazón" para los inevitables momentos de oscuridad, y “Ore como ora la iglesia,
ore con la iglesia por muchos hermanos y hermanas que sufren el exilio de sí mismos,
quienes están en la oscuridad y sufriendo, sin ninguna esperanza a la mano.” Lourdes es un
lugar de esperanza. Ser fiel a la participación en la Eucaristía, la oración más grande de la
Iglesia, les da a todos, cuando oran desde lo profundo de sus corazones, un lugar de
esperanza, un lugar de luz en la oscuridad de sus almas.
Unas palabras de aprecio van hacia los miembros de la Parroquia que participaron en la
primera “Caminata por los Pobres” de San Vicente De Paúl. Esta fue una buena lección para
nuestros jóvenes de ayudar a nuestros pobres. Con esperanza, ahora ellos apreciarán los
muchos dones que Dios les ha dado y no los tomen por seguro. También gracias a los
voluntarios del Bingo quienes fielmente han ayudado a la Parroquia; el Bingo celebra su
cuarto aniversario.
Yo estoy orando desde la Gruta en Lourdes por la Parroquia, estén seguros que sus peticiones
fueron colocadas en la Gruta.
Suyos en Cristo,
Padre John
