While Fr. Antony is on vacation we are printing a past article that Father had written. A Pastor once travelling in a plane

describes a beautiful episode. It was a long fight and there was the sign of a storm and all were asked to fasten their seat belts. Then, after a while, a calm voice of the Pilot said, “We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened.” The Pastor looked around the aircraft to see many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the announcer said, “We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us.” And then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightning lit up the darkening skies, and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash. The pastor confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. As he looked around the plane, he could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed and some started praying. Then he saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat and was reading a book. Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. The plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark, he lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time. Having commented about the storm and asked her why she had not been afraid. The sweet child replied, “Sir, my Dad is the pilot, and he is taking me home.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I lack. In green pastures you let me graze; to safe waters you lead me; you restore my strength. You guide me along the right path for the sake of your name. Even when I walk through a dark valley, I fear no harm for you are at my side; Your rod and staff give me courage.” (Psalm 23:1-4)

Mientras que el Padre Antony está de vacaciones estamos imprimiendo un artículo pasado que el Padre había escrito.

Un Pastor una vez viajando en un avión describe un episodio hermoso. Fue

un largo vuelo, hubo señal de una tormenta y se les pidió a todos que abrocharan sus cinturones. Entonces, después de un tiempo, la voz calma

del piloto dijo, "no vamos a servir las bebidas en este momento porque es-tamos esperando un poco de turbulencia. Por favor, asegúrese de que el cinturón este sujeto." El Pastor miró a su alrededor del avión y vio que mu-

chos de los pasajeros estaban muy aprensivos. Más tarde, la voz del locutor dijo: "Estamos muy apenados pero somos incapaces de servir la comida en este momento. La turbulencia está todavía por delante de nosotros". Y entonces estalló la tormenta. Las grietas ominosas del trueno se oían aún

por encima del rugido de los motores. Relámpagos iluminaron el cielo oscurecido, y en pocos momentos ese gran avión era como un corcho sacu-dido alrededor de un océano celestial. Un momento que el avión se levantaba en magníficas corrientes de aire; al siguiente, caía como si se fuera a

estrellar. El Pastor confesó que compartía el malestar y el miedo de los que le rodeaban. Mientras miraba alrededor del avión, pudo ver que casi todos los pasajeros estaban incomodos y alarmados y algunos empezaron a orar. Entonces vio a una niña a quien la tormenta no le significaba nada.

Había doblado sus pies debajo de ella mientras sentada en su asiento leía un libro. Todo dentro de su pequeño mundo era tranquilo y ordenado. A veces cerraba los ojos, y después leía de nuevo; después ella estrechaba sus piernas, pero no había preocupación y miedo en su mundo. El avión

finalmente llegó a su destino y todos los pasajeros se apresuraron para desembarcar, él se quedó para hablar con la muchacha que había estado observando desde hace mucho tiempo. Comentando sobre la tormenta le preguntó por qué ella no había tenido miedo. La dulce niña contestó:

"Señor, mi padre es el piloto, y él me lleva a casa". ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“El Señor es mi pastor: nada me falta; En verdes pastos el me hace reposar. A las aguas de descanso me conduce, y reconforta mi alma.

Por el camino del bueno me dirige, por amor de su nombre. Aunque pase por quebradas oscuras, no temo ningún mal, porque tú estás conmigo con tu vara y tu bastón, y al verlas voy sin miedo.” (Salmo 23:1-4)

Vatican Corner

Continued … A 135,000 square foot media hub is being prepared in Philadelphia with all its cable feeds, work-stations, translators and coffee for the expected 5,000 to 7,000 journalist who will cover the Pope’s visit and the World Meeting of Families event. In the past Archbishop Chaput has been critical of the media, saying he believes his words have been twisted (in the past) to advance certain ideological agendas. He said he suspects some journalists have intentionally tried to “drive a wedge between me and the pope,” which he called “a sin, a sin against the unity of the Church. They love to sell newspapers doing that.” The archdiocese of Philadelphia has brought in experts in large-event staging to head the major operational components such as security and transportation. Credentialing, background checks, adherence to labor law, competitive bidding for contractors, insurance, attracting corporate and individual sponsors are all issues the non-profit World Meeting of Families Organization finds itself dealing with. Money is being raised online and through texting and selling items to benefit the cause. Many area museums and cultural institutions are in the process of developing programs related to Pope Francis or to themes of family or religion. The Philadelphia Museum of Art, for example, will be directing visitors to it Jan Van Eyck portrait of “St Francis of Assisi Receiving the Stigmata” while the National Constitution Center will likely foster discussion about religious freedom, a motivating principle for Pennsylvania’s founder, Quaker William Penn. A group of black churches is hosting a “Faithful Family Forum.” The World Meeting of Families will have 70-plus speakers varying in religion and denomination and 20,000 conference attendees from around the world. The Meeting is planning to recognize Yom Kippur, which begins Sept. 22. Much of the event will be ecumenical, with about 60 percent appealing to Christians in general and 40 percent geared for those of any or no faith. Muslims, Jewish and Mormons will be involved in the event. Archbishop Chaput said the World Meeting would not focus on hot-button issues familiar to Americans, like same-sex marriage and contraception. “Families with children with disabilities is a big issue,” he said. “Spouses who have been abandoned by their spouses, and how does the Church reach out to them. This is a really big issue, because it’s not just the spouses, but the children. Mixed families, where there are children from two families who come together when their parents marry each other. How do you work those things out?” Those are some of the planned discussions. The Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates the events will generate $417 million, an economic momentum set to continue with the arrival of the Democratic National Convention in 2016. to be continued … Sources : Religious News Service, Cruxnow.com
