Dear Parishioners and Friends: Tuesday the church honors Saint Monica,mother of Saint Augustine, whose feast wecelebrate Wednesday. Monica, a devoutChristian born in modern day Algeria, was aclose friend of the Bishop, Saint Ambrose.Monica spent much of her life praying for theconversion of both her husband, Patricius, aviolent man, as well as her son, Augustine. Augustine himself was an academic and aseeker, never content with the manyphilosophical schools of his day. Patricius wouldeventually accept Baptism. Augustine’sintellectual journey took him through manyphilosophies, but it wasn't until he read Scriptureand discovered Christ that he found meaning inhis search. Monica prayed twenty seven yearsfor the conversion of her son, and finally at theEaster Vigil in 387, Augustine and his son,Adeodatus (‘given by God’), were both baptizedby Bishop Ambrose. in Milan, Italy. Augustinewould go on to become Bishop of Hippo in NorthAfrica, and became one of the great Doctors ofthe Church, writing his Confessions and City ofGod. We are reminded of the power of the familyand friends in the spiritual life, and the need forfraternal support in the living out of our Christianfaith- Monica, Patricius, Augustine, Adeodatus,Ambrose all came closer to God through theirmutual patience and support. After a mysticalvision, Monica died in 387 at Ostia Antica in Italy.Augustine recounts her words to him: “Son,nothing in this world affords me delight. I do notknow what there is left for me…all my hopes inthis world now being fulfilled.” School begins in a week a half, and this year wemark a new beginning in the history of BlessedSacrament School with the opening of our twocampuses. The Lower School, headed by Mr.Nick Fargione opens here at Blessed Sacramentwith the Upper School, headed by Mrs. MeganGonzales, opening at Sacred Heart on52ndStreet. We pray for all our faculty, staff, andstudents, that they might have a successful year,and we welcome Mrs. Maureen Noonan as ournew Principal. We continue to pray for Father John Duffell, forresolution and peace, and we prepare towelcome Father David Nolan, who begins histerm as Pastor here on September 1. As always, pray for peace.
Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time • August 25th,2019
Queridos Feligreses y Amigos; El martes la iglesia rinde homenaje a Santa Mónica,madre de San Agustín, cuya fiesta celebramos elmiércoles. Mónica, una cristiana devota nacida en lo quees hoy Argelia, era una amiga íntima del Obispo, SanAmbrosio. Mónica pasó gran parte de su vida rezandopor la conversión tanto de su esposo, Patricio, un hombreviolento, como de su hijo, Agustín. Agustín mismo era un académico y un buscador, nuncacontento con las muchas escuelas filosóficas de suépoca. Patricio finalmente aceptaría el Bautismo. El viajeintelectual de Agustin lo llevo a través de muchasfilosofías, pero no fue hasta que leyó las Escrituras ydescubrió a Cristo que encontró significado en subúsqueda. Monica oro veintisiete años por la conversionde su hijo, y finalmente en la Vigilia de Pascua en 387Agustín y su hijo, Adeodato ("dado por Dios"), fueronbautizados por el obispo Ambrosio. en Milán, Italia. Agustín se convertiría en obispo de Hippo en el norte deÁfrica y llegaría a ser uno de los grandes doctores de laIglesia, escribiendo sus Confesiones y Ciudad de Dios.Se nos recuerda el poder de la familia y los amigos en lavida espiritual, y la necesidad de un apoyo fraterno paravivir nuestra fe cristiana: Mónica, Patricio, Agustín,Adeodato, Ambrosio se acercaron a Dios a través de supaciencia mutua y apoyo. Después de una visión mística,Mónica murió en el año 387, Agustin y su hijo, Adeodato(“dado por Dios”), fueron bautizados por el ObispoAmbrosio en Milan, Italia. Agustin se convertiría enObispo de Hippo en el norte de Africa y llego a ser unode los grandes Doctores de la Iglesia, escribiendo sus“Confesiones” y “Ciudad de Dios.” Se nos recuerda elpoder de la familia y los amigos en la vida espiritual, y lanecesidad de un apoyo fraterno para vivir nuestra fecristiana: Monica, Patricio, Agustin, Adeodato, Ambrosiose acercaron a Dios a través de su paciencia mutua yapoyo. Después de una vision mística, Monica murió enel año 387 en Ostia Antica en Italia. Agustín le cuentasus palabras: “Hijo, nada en este mundo me deleita. Nosé lo que me queda ... todas mis esperanzas en estemundo ahora se están cumpliendo “.

DOMINGO XXI DEL T. ORDINARIO /CCONFIANZA, SÍ. FRIVOLIDAD, NOLa sociedad moderna va imponiendo cada vez con más fuerza unestilo de vida marcado por el pragmatismo de lo inmediato.Apenas interesan las grandes cuestiones de la existencia. Ya notenemos certezas firmes ni convicciones profundas. Poco a poco,nos vamos convirtiendo en seres triviales, cargados de tópicos, sinconsistencia interior ni ideales que alienten nuestro vivir diario,más allá del bienestar y la seguridad del momento. Es muy significativo observar la actitud generalizada de no pocoscristianos ante la cuestión de la “salvación eterna” que tantopreocupaba solo hace pocos años: bastantes la han borrado sinmás de su conciencia; algunos, no se sabe bien por qué, sesienten con derecho a un “final feliz”; otros no quieren recordarexperiencias religiosas que les han hecho mucho daño. Según el relato de Lucas, un desconocido hace a Jesús unapregunta frecuente en aquella sociedad religiosa: “¿Serán pocoslos que se salven?” Jesús no responde directamente a supregunta. No le interesa especular sobre ese tipo de cuestionesestériles, tan queridas por algunos maestros de la época. Vadirectamente a lo esencial y decisivo: ¿cómo hemos de actuarpara no quedar excluidos de la salvación que Dios ofrece a todos?“Esforzaos en entrar por la puerta estrecha”. Estas son susprimeras palabras. Dios nos abre a todos la puerta de la vidaeterna, pero hemos de esforzarnos y trabajar para entrar por ella.Esta es la actitud sana. Confianza en Dios, sí; frivolidad,despreocupación y falsas seguridades, no.Jesús insiste, sobre todo, en no engañarnos con falsasseguridades. No basta pertenecer al pueblo de Israel; no essuficiente haber conocido personalmente a Jesús por los caminosde Galilea. Lo decisivo es entrar desde ahora en el reino Dios y sujusticia. De hecho, los que quedan fuera del banquete final son,literalmente, “los que practican la injusticia”. Jesús invita a la confianza y la responsabilidad. En el banquetefinal del reino de Dios no se sentarán solo los patriarcas y profetasde Israel. Estarán también paganos venidos de todos los rinconesdel mundo. Estar dentro o estar fuera depende de cómo respondecada uno a la salvación que Dios ofrece a todos. Jesús termina con un proverbio que resume su mensaje. Enrelación al reino de Dios, “hay últimos que serán primeros, yprimeros que serán últimos”. Su advertencia es clara. Algunos quese sienten seguros de ser admitidos pueden quedar fuera. Otrosque parecen excluidos de antemano pueden quedar dentro. Rev D’Angelo Jiménez Bibliografía P. A. Pagola. Welcome to Your New Pastor.

Gifts from BethlehemOlivewood Handcrafted from the Holy Land
A Traditional Art and Livelihood for holy Land Christians
The handicrafts trade evolved as a cultural tradition of Christians in the Holy Land for many centuries. This indigenous formof art has since become an industry of great importance to the local people of the Holy Land who rely on it for livelihood,and to Christian pilgrims from all around the world whose holy pilgrimage can be memorialized for a lifetime in cherishedolive wood or mother of pearl souvenirs. The olive wood carving market is the major source of income in the Bethlehem
area. More than 65 percent of the income of the community in Bethlehem comes from this work.
In recent years, however, the holy crafts trade has suffered many hardships due to social and economical pressures.Because of a sharp fall in tourism and also as a result of diminishing numbers of craftsmen who leave their traditional trade
and emigrate due to the difficult conditions in their homeland, the Holy Land handicraft market is facing serious danger,and so is the Christian community in the Land. Sixty five years ago the Christians represented more than 28% of the total
population in the Holy Land, today they are less than 1.5%.The loss of Christians in the land of Christianity’s birth willrepresent a tragedy of immeasurable proportions for the billions of Christians worldwide.
Please make sure to visit our table this weekend after every mass in the vestibule.
Thank you for your vital support for a Christian tradition and in protecting this very important culture and industry.
