Sacrament of Marriage
A couple wishing to be married
in St. Patrick Parish must contact
the parish six months prior
to the intended wedding date.
J
esus, gentle and humble of heart (Matthew 11:25-30),
came to bring peace to all people (Zechariah 9:9-10).
We are called to live in his spirit (Romans 8:9, 11-13),
to be gracious, merciful and compassionate to all
(Psalm 145).
Today’s Gospel readings must surely rank among
the most beautiful and consoling passages in all of
scripture. Wouldn’t it be just wonderful if the church
were to repeat those final sentences of this Gospel in
every Mass. Those beautiful words fly in the face of a
mindset and culture that is selfish and self-centered.
The expression “the wise and the intelligent” refers
to the teachers of the Law, the high priests and the
scribes. They held the social and religious power in
Jesus’ time. They were the ones “who sat on Moses’
seat” and who had taken over the “key of knowledge.”
They generally despised the poor and marginalized,
the sinners and the afflicted.
Yet it is to these very “outcasts” that Jesus
addresses his words and his ministry. He would have
been familiar with those gentle and peaceful words of
the prophet Zechariah in today’s first reading
(Zechariah 9:9-10). He would know the mind of the
Father, where all people were children of that same
Father.
The prayer of Jesus, “I thank you Father,” invites
us all to do the same. In the gracious will of the
Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit the love of God
has been given to us. We are invited to relax and
rejoice in that love. So rightly we should all repeat—
“the Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all his
works. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down
and raises up all who are falling.”

J
Decimocuarto Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
6 de julio de 2008
esús, de corazón generoso y humilde
(Mateo 11:25-30), vino a traer paz a toda la
gente (Zacarías 9:9-10). Nosotros hemos sido
llamados a vivir con su Espíritu (Romanos 8:9,
11-113) a ser amables, piadosos y compasionados
de todos (Salmo 145).
La lectura del Evangelio de hoy, seguramente
es uno de las mas hermosas y consoladores
pasajes de todas las escrituras. ¿No sería
maravilloso si la iglesia repitiera esas palabras
finales del Evangelio en cada Misa? Esas
hermosas palabras vuelan en la cara de una
cultura cuya mentalidad es egoísta y egocentrista.
La expresión “El sabio y el Inteligente” se refiere
a los maestros de la ley, los altos sacerdotes y los
escribanos. Ellos sostenían el poder social y
religioso en los tiempos de Jesús. Fueron ellos
que “ocuparon la silla de Moisés” y quienes se
encargaron la “llave del conocimiento.” Ellos
generalmente despreciaron al pobre y al marginado,
al pecador y al afligido.
Sin embargo a esos mismos marginados
Jesús dirige sus palabras y su ministerio. El
habría conocido las palabras gentiles y pacificas
del profeta Zacarías en la primera lectura de
hoy (Zacarías 9:9-10). El conocería la mente del
Padre, donde toda la gente serán hijos del
mismo Padre.
La oración de Jesús, “Te agradezco Padre,”
nos invita a todos a hacer lo mismo. Con la
voluntad misericordiosa del Padre, del Hijo, y
del Espíritu Santo, el amor de Dios nos ha sido
dado. Estamos invitados a relajarnos y regocijarnos en ese amor. Entonces correctamente
todos debemos repetir, “El Señor esta fiel en todas
sus palabras y santo en todas sus acciones.” El
Señor alza a los doblegados y levanta a los caídos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
E
n Uruguay se celebra la
fiesta patronal más grande
durante el mes de junio.
Celebran a San Cono, un
santo Italiano del siglo doce. En el
siglo diecinueve los inmigrantes
italianos que vivían en Uruguay
deseaban tener una capilla para
honrar la memoria de este santo,
oriundo de la provincia de Salerno,
Italia.
En junio de 1885, las campanas
de una modesta capillita anunciaron
el recibimiento de una imagen de
san Cono que llegó en procesión.
Desde entonces esta costumbre
italiana se fue haciendo parte
integral de la devoción cristiana
en Uruguay.
Cono fue el hijo único de una
pareja anciana que vivía en la
ciudad de Teggiano, Salerno. Según
la leyenda, una noche mientras
dormían, esta pareja soñó un cono
de luz que brotaba de la madre. Al
nacer el niño decidieron llamarlo
Cono. Desde muy niño, Cono
mostró un afán por las cosas de
Dios y a los dieciséis años ingresó a
un monasterio benedictino siguiendo
el consejo de una voz interior que lo
invitaba a consagrase al Señor. A
los dieciocho, su monasterio se
llenó de luz y una voz anunció su
muerte, y al día siguiente falleció.

ST. JAMES, GEORGETOWN
St. James Society: Next week... take a moment and come to a meeting and see how things get accomplished around here. Questions,
contact our president, Jerry Hayes at 333.4486.
Western Barbecue: Yikes! Time is flying by and still no chairperson.
We need you. Today! What am I talking
about? We need a chairperson for this big
fundraiser. It will be our 8th annual western
barbecue. We have great food and lots of fun,
entertainment. We have many people who do
the same jobs year after year. We need a coordinator to pull it all
together and make sure the “i”s are dotted and the “t”s crossed. You
don’t have to do a lot of heavy labor, just brain power. Contact Trish
Lyons at 622.5299.
Church coffee: We haven’t been having coffee after Mass because our
kitchen has been torn up. Won’t it be nice to have coffee and croissants
in our new hall? Thanks, everyone, for your understanding.
Bible Study: Bible study will begin anew the first week
of September, on Thursdays from 12:00-2:00 at St.
James. We will be studying the Gospel according to
Luke through Little Rock Scripture Study. If you are
interested, please talk to Trish Lyons after Mass or
call her at 622.5299. Books need to be ordered so get
in touch soon.
Thank you, thank you... thank you to all who have helped Mary
Mailloux, our building committee chairperson, over the last few
weeks with all the building jobs that you promised to do. You
are truly amazing. Thanks also to all who helped on the fourth
of July fundraiser. I’m sure it was a rousing success! (more
about that later... deadline for insert before the 4th).
Questions, comments, inserts…contact Trish Lyons at 622.5299.

I
t’s Independence Day weekend, and we are in the middle of a series
on the Eucharistic Prayer. There is a link worth tracing between the
Declaration of Independence and the language of liturgy. One of the
signers of the Declaration on that July 4 long ago was Charles Carroll,
probably the wealthiest man in the colonies and one of the few Catholics
on the political scene. As a flourish to his signature, he sought to
distinguish himself from other prominent citizens bearing the same
name by penning “Charles Carroll of Carrolltown”—a defiant “come
and get me if you dare” postscript aimed at the British.
Carroll’s brother John was a priest and patriot who in 1789 was
given the task of organizing the Catholic Church in this country. By
1791 he had assembled a synod, or assembly of delegates, to launch
that task formally. Archbishop Carroll wanted to gain acceptance of
our faith by American people who mistrusted our customs and could
not comprehend our liturgy. He made the amazing proposal to Rome
that our liturgy should be prayed not in Latin, but in the vernacular,
English. His wish was denied, but one hundred sixty years later, his
deep desire helped the American bishops and scholars at the Second
Vatican Council to win the vote in favor of the vernacular not just for
the United States, but for the Church throughout the world.
