Message from Father Pergjini: Often I do share with many of you who read the bulletin an event of my past and present priestly ministry

which I do enjoy writing. This time I am not sharing any story that many of you read with interest, but I

thought to suggest and encourage you dear faithful parishioners, friends and visitors what to do when we have

a special intention or petition for ourselves or our dear ones. The first thing that come to our mind is to offer a

holy sacrifice of the mass for those who have died or for the living as we always phrase it “a special intention”

which is understood for some one or ourselves the holy mass is offered. Our staff tries their best to

accommodate every one at their request, but unfortunately here are many requests and we are almost booked

for this year. However, we encourage the faithful to support our missionary priests by passing along your

donations. They are in desperate need for mass intentions because in those remote areas where they spread the

Gospel people are very poor and are unable to offer a mass. And this is an excellent way to support our priests

abroad while honoring your intentions. Many years ago I heard a beautiful expression in Italian: “Messa pagata

in cielo e arrivata” which means in English “When a mass intention is paid in heaven has arrived.” I mention

this expression often to people who are looking for an immediate holy mass when we are booked and the next

available opportunity is too late for them. Some of them understand and are at peace and assured that their

intention is fulfilled in God eyes.

Another way to offer a special intention or petition is to offer the bread and wine for our holy masses during

the week and Sundays. Your donation will provide the bread and wine that will be consecrated at our masses

for a chosen week. This is a very beautiful way to remember those dear members of our families, friends, or

those who do not have any one to pray for them. Also, the bread and wine can be offered for some one who is

sick or for a private intention. How beautiful it is when we are attending mass and knowing that the bread and

wine during the week is offered for your special intention or petition!

Another way is to make a donation for the sanctuary lamp. As you know this lamp reminds us of the living

Presence of Lord in the tabernacle. It must always be lit when He is present. Your donation will provide

continues candlelight for a chosen week.

And finally we have the lamps of our Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph . This is another way to make a special

intention or petition. I often I see people praying before the statues where a vigil lamp is lit. They inspire and

move me seeing their faith and trust. In silence of my heart I pray that their intentions and petitions are

answered. I hope and pray that those who will have the humble patience to read these few lines will help them

to find a way how to address a petition or intention offered by our parish.

As we are in this month of July, we remember The Most Precious Blood with devotion and reverence,

participate at the holy mass and being aware of His real presence on the Altar and tabernacle, we find refuge

and peace in this short prayer:

Eternal father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ

in atonement for my sins, and supplication for the holy souls in

purgatory and for the needs of holy church.” Amen!

Mensaje del Padre Pergjini: A menudo yo comparto con muchos de los que leen el boletín de un evento de mi pasado y presente ministerio sacerdotal que me gusta escribir. Esta vez no estoy compartiendo cualquier historia que muchos de ustedes leen con interés, pero me pareció sugerir y animo, queridos fieles feligreses, amigos y visitantes lo que se puede hacer cuando tenemos una intención especial o petición para nosotros o nuestros seres queridos. La primera cosa que viene a la mente es el de ofrecer un santo sacrificio de la misa para los que han muerto o por los vivos, ya que siempre la frase "una intención especial" que se entiende por alguna uno o nosotros mismos se ofrece la santa misa. Nuestro personal hace todo lo posible para acomodar a cada uno en su petición, pero por desgracia aquí son muchas peticiones y estamos casi reservado para este año. Sin embargo, animamos a los fieles a apoyar a nuestros sacerdotes misioneros pasando a lo largo de sus donaciones. Ellos son una urgente necesidad para las intenciones de porque en esas zonas remotas donde se propagan las personas del Evangelio son muy pobres y no son capaces de ofrecer una masa. Y esta es una excelente manera de apoyar a nuestros sacerdotes en el extranjero al tiempo que respeta sus intenciones. Hace muchos años escuché una hermosa expresión en italiano: "Messa pagata en cielo e arrivata", que significa en Inglés "Cuando se paga una intención de masas en ha llegado el cielo." Menciono esta expresión a menudo a las personas que están en busca de un santo inmediata masa cuando nos reservamos y la próxima oportunidad disponible es demasiado tarde para ellos. Algunos de ellos entienden y están en paz y aseguró que su intención es cumplida en Dios ojos.

Otra manera de ofrecer una intención o petición especial es para ofrecer el pan y el vino para nuestras santas misas durante la semana y los domingos. Su donación proporcionará el pan y el vino que se consagró en nuestras masas por una semana elegido. Esta es una manera muy bonita de recordar esos queridos miembros de nuestras familias, amigos, o aquellos que no tienen a nadie a orar por ellos. Además, el pan y el vino se pueden ofrecer para alguien que está enfermo o por una intención privado. Qué hermoso es cuando estamos asistiendo en masa y sabiendo que el pan y el vino durante la semana se ofrece para su intención o petición especial!

Otra forma es hacer una donación para la lámpara del santuario. Como saben esta lámpara nos recuerda la presencia viva del Señor en el sagrario. Siempre debe estar encendido cuando está presente. Su donación proporcionará continúa luz de las velas durante una semana elegido.

Y por último tenemos las lámparas de nuestra Madre Santísima y San José. Esta es otra manera de hacer una intención o petición especial. A menudo veo a la gente que ruega antes de las estatuas, donde una lámpara de vigilia está encendido Ellos me inspiran y mueven viendo la fe y la confianza. En el silencio de mi corazón rezo para que sus intenciones y peticiones son contestadas. Espero y rezo para que aquellos que tendrán la humilde paciencia de leer estas líneas les ayudará a encontrar la manera de cómo hacer frente a una petición o la intención que ofrece nuestra parroquia.

Como estamos en este mes de julio, recordamos la Preciosísima Sangre, con devoción y reverencia, participar en la santa misa y ser consciente de su presencia real en el altar y el tabernáculo, encontramos refugio y paz en esta corta oración :

Padre Eterno, te ofrezco la Preciosísima Sangre de Jesucristo para el perdón de mis pecados, y ruego por las almas benditas del purgatorio y por las necesidades de la Santa Iglesia. "Amén!
