From the Desk of Father José Félix
Witness
Being Christian means to be a witness of Christ’s love, of his death and Resurrection. Throughout history many Christians were able to be witness to the point of martyrdom, giving their life to defend God’s love. The first reading today relates the story of the seven sons and their mother from the Maccabees, from the Old Testament, who “are ready to die rather than transgress the laws of our ancestors.” A heroic and memorable deed. However, Christian martyrs give their life not for the law, but for a person, to defend Christ’s love that is alive. Saint Paul is an example of this, when he is carried in front of the tribunal because he de-fends that Jesus is alive. Words convince, but only our deeds or example move hearts. We are called to be witnesses of Christ’s love, not with our words but with our example and deeds. A parish community where there are witnesses is a community that is alive, vibrant, active, and welcoming to others.
That is our plea.
God bless, Father José Félix

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the seventeenth century, English Catholics, many of them wealthy and well educated, looked to the Ameri-can colonies as a place to regain a measure of religious freedom. In Ireland, the so-called penal laws were even harsher than in England, as a minority Parliament tried to force the conversion of the population by denying the majority political and economic power. Beginning in 1691, laws were passed that punished dissenters, princi-pally Catholics, but also causing hardship for Jews, Quakers, and others. There were acts forbidding “mixed marriage” or sending children “beyond the seas” for schooling. Catholics were taxed at double the common rate, barred from the legal professions and from univer-sity, and not allowed to build churches or own a decent horse. In 1793 the situation began to change, as it became clear that the economic persecution would not drive the majority away from Catholicism. Gradually, laws were repealed until by 1829 freedom was won, although Cath-olics at university were ineligible for honors, and until the 1920s when the Republic was formed, the Church of Ireland was the state church, funded by the taxes of all citizens.

Thank you Veterans and God bless you!
SANTA FRANCESCA SAVERIO CABRINI
Nacque a Sant'Angelo Lodigiano il 15 luglio 1850, tredicesima e ultima figlia di Agostino, ricco proprietario terriero originario di Cremona e cugino di A. Depretis, e di Stella Oldini. Cresciuta in una famiglia profondamente credente, F. frequentò la scuola privata delle canossiane, diretta dalla sorella Ro-sa, maggiore di 15 anni, e fu presto pervasa dal senti-mento religioso.
Già durante l'infanzia era vivacissima d'ingegno e spiritualmente inquieta. Pregava molto, in chiesa, seguendo l'esempio della sorella, che si occupò di lei con dedizione, educandola con una certa severità. Era appassionata soprattutto alla lettura degli Annali della propaganda della fede, a cui la famiglia era abbonata. Già da bambina sognava di diventare suora missionaria; pensava soprattutto alla Cina come alla terra dove avrebbe potuto seguire l'esempio di M. Ricci e di Francesco Saverio.

PERSPECTIVE
We must often draw the comparison of time and eternity. This is the remedy of all our troubles. How small will the present moment appear when we enter that great ocean!

DESDE EL ESCRITORIO DE P. JOSE FELIX
Testigos
Ser Cristiano implica ser testigo del amor de Cristo, de su muerte y de su Resurrección. A lo largo de la historia muchos cristianos han sido testigos hasta el martirio, capaces de dar su vida por defender el amor de Dios. La primera lectura de hoy domingo nos habla del caso de los siete hijos y una madre en el libro de los Macabeos, en el Antiguo Testamento, que dan su vida antes de faltar a las leyes de sus antepasados, algo heroico y loable. Sin embargo, los mártires cristianos no dan su vida sólo por el cumplimiento de la ley, sino por una persona, por defender el amor de Cristo que vive. San Pablo es un ejemplo de ello, cuando es llevado a los tribunales es acusado de defender que Jesús está vivo. Las palabras convencen, pero el ejemplo arrastra. Estamos llamados a ser testigos del amor de Cristo, no con nuestras palabras sino con nuestro ejemplo. Una parroquia, una comunidad donde hay testigos es una comunidad viva, vibrante, activa, que invita a los demás.
Esa es nuestra petición.
Dios les bendiga P. José Félix
