Sacred Heart Parish Family
Sacred Heart Parish Family August 23, 2015 Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Saint Monica Feast Day - August 27 St. Monica was married by arrangement to a pagan official in North Africa, who was much older than she, and although generous, was also violent tempered. His mother Lived with them and was equally difficult, which proved a constant challenge to St. Monica. She had three children; Augustine, Navigius, and Perpetua. Through her patience and prayers, she was able to convert her husband and his mother to the Catholic faith in 370. He died a year later. Perpetua and Navigius entered the religious Life. St. Augustine was much more difficult, as she had to pray for him for 17 years, begging the prayers of priests who, for a while, tried to avoid her because of her persistence at this seemingly hopeless endeavor. One priest did console her by saying, "it is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish." This thought, coupled with a vision that she had received strengthened her. St. Augustine was baptized by St. Ambrose in 387. St. Monica died later that same year, on the way back to Africa from Rome in the Italian town of Ostia. Saint Monica, pray for us!

Sacred Heart Parish Family 2 303 Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128 XXI SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 23, 2015 From the Deacon’s desk …. Back to school… A note from Fr. Wayne . . . Those who were following Jesus found His words all too much to bear. They expressed that His words and His teachings were harsh and difficult to hear. The Gospel today tells us that some left Jesus and returned to the former ways. What was He saying that was so difficult? • • • • • • • • • XXI TEMPO ORDINARIO It’s hard to believe but these beautiful summer months are almost over! Growing up, I remember my mother preparing breakfast, checking our lunches and making sure, the four of us had homework and school bags packed. A faithful Christian mother carries her child in her womb, her heart, and in her prayers. Love one another as I have loved you. . . Be merciful as your Heavenly Father is . . . Be holy like your Heavenly Father. . . Be compassionate to one another . . . Forgive as you have been forgiving . . . Give without counting the cost . . . Love your enemies . . . Pray for those who hurt you . . . Eat My Body and you will have eternal life . . . A Catholic Mother’s Prayer Holy Mary, Mother of God, help me in all my problems. Teach me patience and wisdom. Show me how to train my children to be worthy children of God. Let me be kind and loving, but keep me from foolish indulgence. Pray for my children, dear Mother. Keep them from all danger, especially from spiritual danger. Help them to become virtuous citizens, but let them not forget the Kingdom of God. Jesus of Bethlehem, make my children love each other and their home. Help them to work and pray together in holy peace. Holy Family of Nazareth, be with us all, father, mother and children, every day of our lives. Amen. All of this seems to me to be welcomed advice and good morals. I cannot imagine these words and teachings being so offensive that people just simply walked away. When we walk away from Christ, we are walking straight towards sin and death. Jesus loves us, let’s stay close to Him and see what is in store for us. Enjoy the final days of summer and be ready for a new school year. 2016 Mass Book The new 2016 Mass Book will be available on Tuesday, September 8th after 10:00 a.m. In fairness to all our parishioners, we must ask that for Weekend Mass Intentions; families will be limited to reserve only three Masses. In the past, many people were unable to have a Mass for their loved ones due to the number of people taking many Mass Intentions. There will be no limit on the Weekday Mass Intentions as long as people don’t take advantage of the amount of Masses reserved. Sacred Heart Parish Family BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!! Once again we are collecting NEW school supplies for the children at our parish school, East Boston Central Catholic. You may bring the new school items next weekend and leave them in the box provided in the back of the Church. Some helpful suggestions: Pencils, crayons, notebooks, rulers, calculators, index cards, backpacks, pencil case, pens (black, blue, and red), glue sticks, paper towels, tissues, etc. 3 303 Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128 XXI SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 23, 2015 XXI TEMPO ORDINARIO What we believe . . . The Excellence of Virtues The Christian moral life is one that seeks to cultivate and practice virtue. “A virtue is an habitual and firm disposition to do the good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of himself” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1803). An effective moral life demands the practice of both human and theological virtues. Human virtues form the soul with the habits of mind and will that support moral behavior, control passions, and avoid sin. Virtues guide our conduct according to the dictates of faith and reason, leading us toward freedom based on self-control and toward joy in living a good moral life. Compassion, responsibility, a sense of duty, selfdiscipline and restraint, honesty, loyalty, friendship, courage, and persistence are examples of desirable virtues for sustaining a moral life. Historically, we group the human virtues around what are called the Cardinal Virtues. This term comes from the Latin word cardo meaning “hinge.” All the virtues are related to or hinged to one of the Cardinal Virtues. The four Cardinal Virtues are prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. There are a number of ways in which we acquire human virtues. They are acquired by frequent repetition of virtuous acts that establish a pattern of virtuous behavior. There is a reciprocal relationship between virtue and acts because virtue, as an internal reality, disposes us to act externally in morally good ways. Yet it is through doing good acts in the concrete that the virtue within us is strengthened and grows. The human virtues are also acquired through seeing them in the good example of others and through education in their value and methods to acquire them. Stories that inspire us to want such virtues help contribute to their growth within us. They are gained by a strong will to achieve such ideals. In addition, God’s grace is offered to us to purify and strengthen our human virtues, for our growth in virtue can be hampered by the reality of sin. Especially through prayer and the Sacraments, we open ourselves to the gifts of the Holy Spirit and God’s grace as another way in which we grow in virtue. The Theological Virtues of faith, hope, and charity (love) are those virtues that relate directly to God. These are not acquired through human effort but, beginning with Baptism, they are infused within us as gifts from God. They dispose us to live in relationship with the Holy Trinity. Faith, hope, and charity influence human virtues by increasing their stability and strength for our lives. Each of the Ten Commandments forbids certain sins, but each also points to virtues that will help us avoid such sins. Virtues such as generosity, poverty of spirit, gentleness, purity of heart, temperance, and fortitude assist us in overcoming and avoiding what are called the seven deadly or Capital Sins—pride, avarice or greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth or laziness—which are those sins that engender other sins and vices.

Perciò anche noi serviremo il Signore, perché egli è il nostro Dio». SCEGLIERE CRISTO Giovanni descrive sempre con interesse le reazioni degli ascoltatori di Gesù. Precedentemente ha analizzato gli atteggiamenti di un dottore della Legge (Gv 3), di una donna del popolo (Gv 4) e di un funzionario (Gv 4,43-53); ora passa a descrivere le reazioni di coloro che circondano Gesù, di fronte al suo discorso sul pane di vita. Verbum Domini Deo Gratias SALMO RESPONSORIALE Gustate e vedete com'è buono il Signore. Benedirò il Signore in ogni tempo, sulla mia bocca sempre la sua lode. Io mi glorio nel Signore: i poveri ascoltino e si rallegrino. L’INGRESSO Lodate Dio, schiere beate del cielo, Lodate Dio, genti di tutta la terra; Cantate a lui, che l’universo creò, Somma sapienza e splendore. Gli occhi del Signore sui giusti, i suoi orecchi al loro grido di aiuto. Il volto del Signore contro i malfattori, per eliminarne dalla terra il ricordo. Lodate Dio, Padre che dona ogni bene, Lodate Dio, ricco di grazia e perdono; Cantate a lui, che tanto gli uomini amò, Da dare l’unico Figlio. Gridano e il Signore li ascolta, li libera da tutte le loro angosce. Il Signore è vicino a chi ha il cuore spezzato, egli salva gli spiriti affranti. Molti sono i mali del giusto, ma da tutti lo libera il Signore. Custodisce tutte le sue ossa: neppure uno sarà spezzato. GLORIA Gloria a Dio nell'alto dei cieli e pace in terra agli uomini di buona volontà. Noi ti lodiamo, ti benediciamo, ti adoriamo, ti glorifichiamo, ti rendiamo grazie per la tua gloria immensa, Signore Dio, Re del cielo, Dio Padre onnipotente. Signore, Figlio unigenito, Gesù Cristo, Signore Dio, Agnello di Dio, Figlio del Padre; tu che togli i peccati del mondo, abbi pietà di noi; tu che togli i peccati del mondo, accogli la nostra supplica; tu che siedi alla destra del Padre, abbi pietà di noi. Perché tu solo il Santo, tu solo il Signore, tu solo l'Altissimo Gesù Cristo, con lo Spirito Santo nella gloria di Dio Padre. Amen. Il male fa morire il malvagio e chi odia il giusto sarà condannato. Il Signore riscatta la vita dei suoi servi; non sarà condannato chi in lui si rifugia. SECONDA LETTURA Dalla lettera di san Paolo apostolo agli Efesini Fratelli, nel timore di Cristo, siate sottomessi gli uni agli altri: le mogli lo siano ai loro mariti, come al Signore; il marito infatti è capo della moglie, così come Cristo è capo della Chiesa, lui che è salvatore del corpo. E come la Chiesa è sottomessa a Cristo, così anche le mogli lo siano ai loro mariti in tutto. E voi, mariti, amate le vostre mogli, come anche Cristo ha amato la Chiesa e ha dato se stesso per lei, per renderla santa, purificandola con il lavacro dell'acqua mediante la parola, e per presentare a se stesso la Chiesa tutta gloriosa, senza macchia né ruga o alcunché di simile, ma santa e immacolata. Così anche i mariti hanno il dovere di amare le mogli come il proprio corpo: chi ama la propria moglie, ama se stesso. Nessuno infatti ha mai odiato la propria carne, anzi la nutre e la cura, come anche Cristo fa con la Chiesa, poiché siamo membra del suo corpo. Per questo l'uomo lascerà il padre e la madre e si unirà a sua moglie e i due diventeranno una sola carne. Questo mistero è grande: io lo dico in riferimento a Cristo e alla Chiesa! PRIMA LETTURA Dal libro di Giosuè In quei giorni, Giosuè radunò tutte le tribù d'Israele a Sichem e convocò gli anziani d'Israele, i capi, i giudici e gli scribi, ed essi si presentarono davanti a Dio. Giosuè disse a tutto il popolo: «Se sembra male ai vostri occhi servire il Signore, sceglietevi oggi chi servire: se gli dèi che i vostri padri hanno servito oltre il Fiume oppure gli dèi degli Amorrèi, nel cui territorio abitate. Quanto a me e alla mia casa, serviremo il Signore». Il popolo rispose: «Lontano da noi abbandonare il Signore per servire altri dèi! Poiché è il Signore, nostro Dio, che ha fatto salire noi e i padri nostri dalla terra d'Egitto, dalla condizione servile; egli ha compiuto quei grandi segni dinanzi ai nostri occhi e ci ha custodito per tutto il cammino che abbiamo percorso e in mezzo a tutti Sacred Heart Parish Family XXI TEMPO ORDINARIO Verbum Domini 5 Deo Gratias 303 Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128 XXI SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AUGUST 23, 2015 OFFERTORIO Rit: Com’è bello, Signor, stare insieme ed amarci come ami Tu; qui c’è Dio, Alleluia! La carità è paziente, la carità è benigna, comprende, non si adirà e non dispera mai. Rit. Alleluia, alleluia. Le tue parole, Signore,sono spirito e vita; tu hai parole di vita eterna. Alleluia. Vangelo Il Signore con tutti voi E con il tuo spirito Dal vangelo secondo Giovanni Gloria a Te, O Signore La carità perdona, la carità si adatta, si dona senza sosta con gioia e umiltà. Rit. In quel tempo, molti dei discepoli di Gesù, dopo aver ascoltato, dissero: «Questa parola è dura! Chi può ascoltarla?». Gesù, sapendo dentro di sé che i suoi discepoli mormoravano riguardo a questo, disse loro: «Questo vi scandalizza? E se vedeste il Figlio dell'uomo salire là dov'era prima? È lo Spirito che dà la vita, la carne non giova a nulla; le parole che io vi ho detto sono spirito e sono vita. Ma tra voi vi sono alcuni che non credono». Gesù infatti sapeva fin da principio chi erano quelli che non credevano e chi era colui che lo avrebbe tradito. E diceva: «Per questo vi ho detto che nessuno può venire a me, se non gli è concesso dal Padre». Da quel momento molti dei suoi discepoli tornarono indietro e non andavano più con lui. Disse allora Gesù ai Dodici: «Volete andarvene anche voi?». Gli rispose Simon Pietro: «Signore, da chi andremo? Tu hai parole di vita eterna e noi abbiamo creduto e conosciuto che tu sei il Santo di Dio». Verbum Domini La carità è la legge, la carità è la vita, abbraccia tutto il mondo e in ciel si compirà. Rit. Il pane che mangiamo, il corpo del Signore, di carità è sorgente e centro d’unità. Rit. COMUNIONE Rit: Signore, fa di me uno strumento Della tua pace, del tuo amore. Signore fa di me uno strumento. Della tua pace, del tuo amore. Dove c’e’ l’odio, ch’io porti l’amore, dov’ e’ l’offesa, ch’io porti il perdono. Rit. Dove c’e’ tristezza, ch’io porti la gioia, dov’ e’ l’errore, ch’io porti la verità. Rit. Laus Tibi, Christe FINALE IL CREDO DEGLI APOSTOLI Credo in Dio, Padre onnipotente, Creatore del cielo e della terra. E in Gesù Cristo, Suo Figlio unigenito, Signore nostro; il quale fu concepito di Spirito Santo, nato dalla vergine Maria; soffrì sotto Ponzio Pilato, fu crocifisso, morì e fu sepolto; discese agli inferi; il terzo giorno risuscitò dai morti; ascese al cielo; siede alla destra di Dio Padre onnipotente; da dove verrà per giudicare i vivi ed i morti. Io credo nello Spirito Santo; la santa Chiesa universale; la comunione dei santi; la remissione dei peccati; la risurrezione della carne; la vita eterna. Amen. Lodate Dio, uno e trino Signore, Lodate Dio, meta e primio dei buoni; Cantate a lui, sorgente d’ogni bontà Per tutti i secoli. Amen. L’Angelus V. L’Angelo del Signore portò l’annunzio a Maria; R. Ed ella concepì per opera dello Spirito Santo. V. Eccomi, sono la serva del Signore. R. Si compia in me la tua parola. V. E il Verbo si fece carne. R. E venne ad abitare in mezzo a noi. V. Prega per noi, santa Madre di Dio. R. Perché siamo fatti degni delle promesse di Cristo. Preghiamo: Infondi nel nostro spirito la Tua grazia, o Padre: Tu che all’annuncio dell’Angelo ci hai rivelato l’Incarnazione del Tuo Figlio, per la Sua Passione e la Sua Croce guidaci alla gloria della Risurrezione. Per Cristo nostro Signore. Amen. Mistero della fede Tu ci hai redenti con la tua croce e la tua risurrezione: salvaci, o Salvatore del mondo.
