It is a time of relaxation and reflection and thus we recreate ourselves. This summer I have spent time reading some spiritual books that have energize and renewed me. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux said that "spiritual reading and prayer are the arms by which hell is conquered and paradise won." Saint Ambrose of Milan stated: "We address him when we pray; we hear him when we read." A couple of week’s ago I read the book The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II - The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy by George Weigel regarding Pope John Paul II and his impact on the world and the Church. Pope John Paul II was singularly responsible, during his pontificate, for the renewal of the priests and the encouragement of young men to enter a vocation to the priesthood as well as young men and women seeking a vocation to the consecrated life. Many evangelical protestants, on average, read about eight books a year regarding their faith. Catholics on average read less than one a year. Please read at least five pages a day of a great Catholic book that will stimulate your life as a practicing Catholic and offer you the opportunity for God to speak to you in the pages you read. El verano es un momento para disfrutar de actividades recreativas como pasar tiempo en la playa, vacaciones, barbacoas y estar con la familia y amigos. Es un momento de relajación y reflexión, y así nos recreamos. Este verano he pasado tiempo leyendo algunos libros espirituales que me energizan y me han renovado. Saint Bernard de Clairvaux dijo que “oración y lectura espiritual son las armas para que el infierno sea derrotado y el paraíso haya triunfado.” San Ambrosio de Milán declarado: “Lo mencionamos cuando oramos; lo escuchamos cuando leemos.” Hace un par de semana leí el libro Al Final y al Principio: Papa Juan Pablo II - La victoria de la Libertad, los Últimos Años, el Legado de George Weigel respecto al Papa Juan Pablo II y su impacto en el mundo y la Iglesia. El Papa Juan Pablo II fue singularmente responsable, durante su pontificado, para la renovación de los sacerdotes y el estímulo de los jóvenes a entrar en una vocación al sacerdocio, así como jóvenes y mujeres que buscan una vocación a la vida consagrada. Muchos protestantes evangélicos, leen un promedio, unos ocho libros al año con respecto a su fe. Los Católicos leemos un promedio de uno o menos al año. Por favor lean por lo menos cinco páginas al día de un gran libro Católico que estimule su vida como un Católico practicante y que esas páginas les den la oportunidad de que Dios pueda hablar a través de lo que han leído.

In other words, how to confidently explain our faith in a way others will listen and understand. HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION - AUGUST 15 We are an informal group of men who discuss topics about faith, fatherhood, and fraternity through Catholic eyes. We meet in McGowan Hall the 2nd and 4th Saturday mornings of each month, and our casual setting allows us to share modern issues that are sometimes up-close and personal. The celebration of the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary has its roots in the very early Church of Jerusalem. However, due to the Christian unrest in that area of the world during the first three centuries, little documented evidence exists. The solemnity was celebrated on different days in various parts of the world until sometime in the sixth or seventh century, when August 15 became the norm. An interesting story recounts that Emperor Marcian asked the Bishop of Jerusalem to bring the relics of Mary to the capital in 451, at the Council of Chalcedon. The bishop’s response was that Mary had no relics because she was assumed into Heaven. This ancient belief of our faith was made doctrine in 1950 by Pope Pius XII, confirming the ancient tradition of celebrating this event. Join us at Mass to enter into this ancient celebration. JustFaith Program Groups Forming Are you seeking to live more deeply with a greater sense of purpose? Our Lady of Fatima’s Social Awareness Leadership Team is offering the JustFaith program beginning this fall. The JustFaith program is a small-group process that offers an opportunity for people of faith to experience a spiritual journey that leads to compassionate commitment. If you want to help transform the world through love and service, and are willing to change in the process, then please email salt@olfchurch.net or call Lisa Grace at 233-3794. Pick up a flyer for more information. The program begins this fall and meets weekly for 4 phases of 6 sessions each over the course of 6-9 months. Bible Timeline Class Certificates of Completion Our Lady of Fatima had two classes that completed The Bible Timeline Study Class. This was a 23-week class that took the participants on inspiring an in-depth overview from the Old Testament through the New Testament. The Tuesday morning class had 29 students and the Thursday evening class had 18 students that completed the class and received their Certificates of Completion. Congratulations to all on your accomplishment. Are you interested in helping with the RCIA? There are two major ministries that serve those interested in becoming Catholic – sponsors and catechists & team members. Sponsors are members of the parish who are willing to walk with the catechumens and candidates throughout the process. Your duties are to be in contact with a catechumen or candidate once a week, helping them find answers to their questions. This ministry does not require prior experience or special training, just a welcoming spirit. Catechists & team members facilitate adult learning through small group gatherings. Catechists are required to move toward getting diocesan certification. Team members are parishioners who have a sincere interest in the catechumens & candidates - welcoming them and encouraging them along their journey. Contact Rosa Rama at 492-4101, x119 or rrama@olfchurch.net for more details. 4 W E LCO M E TO our lady of fatima parish MASS TIMES: 8/14 8/15 7pm 8:30am, 6pm & 7:30pm (Español) Día sagrado de obligación 15 DE AGOSTO HORARIO DE MISAS: 8/14 8/15 7pm 8:30am, 6pm y 7:30pm (Español) La celebración de la solemnidad de la asunción de la Virgen María tiene sus antiguas raíces en la iglesia de Jerusalén. Sin embargo, debido a los disturbios Cristiano en esa zona del mundo durante los primeros tres siglos, existe muy poco documentado y evidencias. La solemnidad se celebró en días distintos en diversas partes del mundo hasta que en algún momento en el sexto o séptimo siglo, cuando el 15 de agosto se convirtió en la norma. Una interesante historia relata que el emperador Marciano pidió al Obispo de Jerusalén que trajeran las reliquias de María a la capital en el año 451, en el Concilio de Calcedonia. La respuesta del obispo fue que María no tenía reliquias porque ella fue asumida al cielo. Esta antigua creencia de nuestra fe se hizo doctrina en 1950 por el Papa Pio XII, confirmando la antigua tradición de la celebración de este evento. Únase a nosotros en la misa para entrar en esta antigua celebración. OLF Road Trip to San Manuel Casino SEPTEMBER 18 Are you ready for a fun time with fellow parishioners?
