The feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated each year on the eighth of September. Usually it is the custom of the church to celebrate the feast day of a saint on the date of their death as this is truly their "die natalis", the day remembered as their birth into everlasting happiness. Mary, however, entered this world sinless through the privilege of the Immaculate Conception and is the firstborn of the redeemed.

It is not a Holy Day of Obligation. However, Mary's Nativity is a cause for great joy as it is considered the" dawn of our salvation" as Pope Paul VI wrote in the document, Marialis Cultus in 1972.

THE MESSIAH FORETOLDTHE MESSIAH FORETOLDToday’s story of the cure of a deaf man with a speech impediment is a good example of how much is contained in a simple miracle story. The Greek word mogilalos appears only here in all of the New Testament. It is a technical term referring to someone with a stammer. It is also used only once in the entire Jewish scriptures, in the passage that we read today as our first reading from Isaiah. Clearly, by his choice of this precise word Mark wants us to recognize that what Jesus is doing is the fulfillment of what Isaiah had predicted centuries earlier. In fact, Mark wants us to recognize that Jesus is the Messiah foretold by Isaiah and the other Jewish prophets of old.The word ephphatha, “be opened,” used to describe the restoration of the man’s speech, is another example of a subtle allusion to an earlier prophecy. This time the prophecy in question is from Ezekiel, when he foretells that in the messianic age, “your mouth shall be opened to speak” (24:26). The sophistication of Mark’s narrative is further revealed when we realize that there are multiple levels within a single reference. Mark not only draws our attention back to Israel’s prophetic past, he also points to the initiatory practice of his contemporaries by his mention of such things as spittle, touching of ears, and the use of the word ephphatha, all of which were practices incorporated into the early Church’s baptismal ritual.

appointment.

CALLING... Catechists and Assistants Too often we ask ourselves, “What can I do to help change the world?”

One thing you can do is help children come to know and love the Lord. You do not need a degree in Theology to help them learn about God. All you need is to share your Love for God and want to serve others to grow yourself personally and spiritually in the process of teaching the Word of God. This is a golden opportunity to help our parish’s children who are seeking to learn about God. Please stand up and say “HERE I AM, LORD” since HE is the one calling YOU!

“It takes a big heart to help shape little minds.”

If you would like to know more or if you are ready to say YES, please call the rectory at 954-431-3600 to make an appointment with Mrs. Brown.

REGISTRATION for Religious Education classes will begin NEXT SUNDAY in the Parish Hall. You will not be able to register at the rectory during the week so please stop by the hall on Sundays after Mass to register

the children for class. Classes start on September 12Classes start on September 12thth.. A wide variety of religious programs assist the spiritual and the moral development of our young parishioners who attend public schools. Beginning with classes in pre-kindergarten (4 years old) and continuing through high school, students not only learn their Catholic Christian heritage but are also led to develop a personal relationship with Christ and a commitment to his Gospel’s moral principles.

They develop an understanding of the Scriptures, the meaning of the Sacraments and the richness of the Catholic tradition. At various stages of their religious development, students prepare for the celebration of First Penance, First Communion, and Confirmation. Classes start in September and run through Easter.

Registration will take place on August 22, 29 and September 5

in the Parish Hall from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM

Registration Fee: Cash or check1 child - $150.00 - each additional child - $50.00

Please bring the child’s Birth and Baptismal certificates with you to registration

A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC

O Mary, you always brighten our

path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus,the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen.

Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not

our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Entendre et parlerPour moi, la parole de Jésus s’adresse à la fois au ciel et au sourd-muet. A vrai dire, elle peut nous surprendre: on attendrait plutôt “parle”, “entends”, ou “sois guéri”. “Ouvre-toi” suggère que cet homme est “fermé”, enfermé dans sa solitude comme dans un tombeau, et c’est bien l’effet de la surdité et de la mutité. Jésus va le rendre au monde, à la communauté des hommes. Plus radicalement (penser aux “yeux levés au ciel”), il le rend au dialogue avec le vrai Dieu. Cette histoire peut nous sembler bien lointaine, même si nous la prenons en toute sa signification, qui est notre accès à la “vie éternelle”à la vie de Dieu par et dans le Christ. Non plus semblables aux idoles mortes que nous nous fabriquons, mais images et ressemblances d’un Dieu qui entend et qui parle. Mais il y a plus: nous sommes nous aussi, dans un monde plein d’aveugles, de muets et de sourds en tout ce qui concerne notre foi. Nous n’avons pas à nous en évader, ni à le tenir à distance. Nous avons à y aller, au plus près, avec le Christ pour porter tout ce qu’il y a à porter. Nous avons à trouver les paroles qui ouvrent; pas forcément tout de suite à la foi, mais à l’amitié, à l’écoute, à l’échange. Sans oublier que nous sommes à tous les postes des personnages du récit de Marc: à la place du Christ porteur de guérison, mais aussi à la place de l’homme sourd et muet que nous sommes si souvent, enfin à la place des témoins qui se réjouissent quand se manifeste la victoire de Dieu sur notre mort.@copyright 2015 - P.

EL MESÍAS ANUNCIADOEl relato de hoy sobre la curación de un sordo y

tartamudo es un buen ejemplo de lo mucho que contiene la descripción de un simple milagro. La palabra griega mogilalos aparece solamente aquí en todo el Nuevo Testamento. Es un término técnico que se refiere a alguien que es tartamudo. También se utiliza una sola vez en todas las Escrituras judías, en el pasaje que leemos hoy en la primera lectura de Isaías. Es evidente que, por su selección de esta precisa palabra Marcos quiere que reconozcamos que lo que Jesús está haciendo es el cumplimiento de lo que Isaías había profetizado siglos antes. De hecho, Marcos quiere que reconozcamos que Jesús es el Mesías anunciado por Isaías y otros profetas judíos de la antigüedad.

La palabra effetá, “ábrete”, que se utiliza para describir la curación de la voz del hombre, es otro ejemplo de una sutil alusión a una profecía anterior. Esta vez la profecía a la que se refiere es de Ezequiel, cuando anuncia que en la era mesiánica, “se abrirá tu boca para hablar” (24:27). La compleja sutileza de la narración de Marcos se manifiesta más aún cuando nos damos cuenta de que hay múltiples capas dentro de una sola referencia. Marcos no sólo llama nuestra atención al pasado profético de Israel, sino también nos señala la práctica de iniciación de sus contemporáneos al mencionar tales cosas como la saliva, el contacto con las orejas y el uso de la palabra effetá, elementos todos que eran parte del rito del Bautismo durante la primera Iglesia.
