S�������� 6, 2020�

Welcome Back! . . .�

So we’re inching toward re�opening. I’m delighted to see so

many more people gaining the confidence to come back to

Mass. It kinda reminds me of the old Vaudeville skit made

famous by the Three Stooges: “Slowly I turn, step by step, inch

by inch . . .” It feels a lot like that’s the way we’re progressing

toward coming back full�force: one stride at a time.�

We’ve been open since June, and in these three months we’ve

been flirting with relaxing the strictures we’ve needed to stress

on folks returning. Some of these have proven positive, others

may need to tightened back up again. The past few weeks, for

instance, I’ve kept the fronts doors on Manning Street open as

well as the Cross Street door. Unfortunately, that’s not

working out very well: it’s becoming unmanageable to keep

track of who’s coming in and being able to bring them to seats

so as to ensure proper social distancing. This is especially

tricky now that we’re doing first Communions at Sunday Mass

through September; many of those joining our congregation

aren’t frequent worshippers with us, so they need to be guided

a bit more than those who’ve been coming since June. So,

unfortunately, I’m thinking we’re going to have to keep those

doors closed during Mass and only open them up afterwards

for folks to come in for a few moments of private prayer.�

Much of the safe practices also are being disregarded. We still

need to maintain appropriate social distancing in the

Communion line and when entering and exiting. To make

things a bit clearer and more consistent, we’ll all exit from the

same door used to come in by�on Cross Street.�

I know this seems like a case of one step forward, two steps

back (well, maybe two steps forward and one step back). But

this also can be a practical reminder of the spiritual life: In our

own journey toward God, our progression in holiness, we often

make advances and then recede. There are times when we feel

spiritually strong and close to God; then there are other phases

of our life when we feel estranged from God�the experience

of what’s called acedia. St. Ignatius of Loyola refers to this

cycle as spiritual consolation and spiritual desolation. So as we

negotiate this ballet of opening up our parish in baby steps,

inching forward then inching back, we should try to bear in

mind that life is a process of ebbs and flows. Hopefully, we

can appreciate God’s infinite patience with us a little better by

exercising patience with this process�and maybe even learn

to be more patient with ourselves when we stumble from time

to time.�

I know many are getting frustrated with the protocols we have

in place as safeguards against Covid�19. But please remember

that there are just as many who are grateful for these

precautions and only feel comfortable joining us for Mass

because of these measures. As your pastor, I encourage you all

to put on the mind of Christ, who did not please Himself but

always sacrificed for the good of others. As St. Paul says:

“Each of us should please his neighbor for the good purpose of

building him up”; “Let each of you look not to your own

interests, but to the interests of others.”�

I’m glad to see you all again�I can’t tell you how much I’ve

missed you! May God continue to bless you all abundantly!�

Sejam Todos Bem Vindos!. . .�

Estamos avançando em direção ao reabrir as portas da igreja.

Sinto�me feliz por ver muitas pessoas a ganhar a confiança de

voltar à igreja para assistir à missa. Com um passo de cada vez,

pouco a pouco chegaremos lá.�

Abrimos a igreja em Junho, e nestes três mêses temos facilitado

em relaxando com as estruturas que deveriamos esforçar nas

pessoas que estão voltando. Algumas destas formas teem

provado ser positivo, mas outras teem que ser reforçadas. Por

exemplo nas duas ultimas semanas, temos mantido as portas da

entrada abertas como tambem a porta da rampa. Infelizmente

este método não está a dar muito certo, porque se torna

impossivel de controlar quem entra e ajudar onde sentarem�se

para manter o adequado sistema de distanciamento social. Se

torna um pouco dificil de controlar agora que estamos

celebrando a primeira comunhão nas missas de Domingo até

Setembro. Muitos dos participantes não são paroquianos

regulares das missas, por isso necessitam de especial ajuda mais

do que os que frequentam as missas regularmente desde Junho.

Por isso infelizmente eu estou pensando manter as portas da

frente fechadas durante a missa e só as abrir após a missa para as

pessoas que gostariam de vir à igreja para orar.�

Muitas das regras de segurança tambem estão a ser ignoradas.

Temos que continuar a manter a regra de distancia social durante

a comunhão e ao entrar e sair da igreja. Para tornar a coisas mais

esclarecidas e consistentes, todos nós precisamos sair pela

mesma porta que usamos para entar � a da rampa.�

Eu que tudo isto parece que estamos dando um passo em frente e

dois para trás (bem, talvez dois passos em frente e um pra trás).

Mas isto pode ser um relembrar da nossa vida spiritual: Da nossa

jornada em direção a Deus, o nosso progresso à santidade que

muitas vezes avançamos e outras vezes recuamos. Por vezes nos

sentimos fortes e perto de Deus; e por vezes nos sentimos em

outras faces na nossa vida em que estamos longe de Deus. Santo

Inácio de Loyola se refere a este ciclo como spiritual consolação

e spiritual desolação. Ao negociar�mos este ballet de abrirmos a

nossa paróquia em passos de bebé, avançando e recuando,

deveriamos tentar de ter em mente que a vida é um processo de

altos e baixos. Esperamos poder apreciar a infinita paciência de

Deus para connosco um pouco melhor tendo paciência com o

Seu processo � e até mesmo aprender a ter mais paciência com

nós mesmos quando às vezez tropeçamos.�

Eu sei que muitos de vós se sentem frustrados com o protocol

que usamos para nos defender contra o Covid 19. Mas lembrem�

se que muitos estão agradecidos por estas precauções e se

sentem confortáveis em vir à missa por causa destas medidas. Eu

como vosso Pastor, vos encorajo a terem a mente de Cristo, que

nunca fez nada para seu próprio prazer, mas que sempre Se

sacrificou pelo bem dos outros. Como diz São Paulo: “cada um

de nós deveria agradar ao seu visinho com o propósito de

construir a sua felicidade”; “que cada um de vós não olhe

somente nos seus próprios interesses, mas tambem nos interesses

dos outros.”�

Estou muito feliz por vos ver a todos de novo � não há palavras

para vos dizer o quanto senti a vossa falta! Que Deus vos

continue a abençoar abundantemente! �
