The pilgrim experience of going by foot to Santiago de Compostella, the shrine of St. James, reaches its high point a month from now at the feast of the Apostle. By now, tens of thousands of pilgrims are already on the road. Typically, they cover twelve to twenty miles a day through rough territory. The difficult journey and the often primitive lodging facilities are made bearable by the joy of the pilgrims, their songs and prayers. When their journey is documented properly, they receive the scallop shell, a reminder not only of James the fisherman, but also his call to fish for human beings and to baptize the nations. In the Middle Ages, those who wore this badge on their hats were granted lodging and hospitality wherever they went. Next to the palm, the sign of a Jerusalem pilgrim, the scallop shell was most highly prized.

In the Middle Ages, some people so enjoyed the pilgrim road, although it was filled with discomfort and danger, that they spent most of their lives on the road. Today, some people take up the route for exercise, but are drawn gradually into the spirituality of the journey. As you make your summer travels, always fold in an element of pilgrimage: a long walk through beautiful countryside, a visit to a church, a prayer of gratitude for your journey through life’s hills and valleys. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch

JESUS’ EXAMPLE OF HELPING OTHERS In today’s second reading Paul offers a wonderful argument to his converts at Corinth for seeking to help those in need. He is dealing with a practical problem, arranging a collection for the poor of the church of Jerusalem; but as he often does, he develops an important teaching about Jesus to make his point. After asking that they show their faith by generous gifts, he reminds them of the “gracious act of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he became poor, so that by his pov-erty you might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9). In the Incarnation our Lord assumed our human nature, certainly becoming poor for one who is God. The ultimate gracious act of this poverty was going to the cross with all its terrible sufferings. By this act of poverty we definitely become rich. Now our sins can be forgiven; we can share in the very life of God through the sacraments; we can attain eternal salvation! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK O God, who through the grace of adoption chose us to be children of light, grant, we pray, that we may not be wrapped in the darkness of error but always be seen to stand in the

bright light of truth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Reflection question: Am I someone whom others see as standing in the bright light of truth?

Your contribution to the 2012 Annual Pastoral Appeal helps to serve thousands in need throughout our diocese, and lightens the financial responsibility of our parish.

Please consider a gift.

The Monument to the Unborn was recently moved to a more prominent area of the church grounds. Fr. Michael’s decision to move the monument was to serve as a witness of our pro-life community. This project required special skills and equipment and so we approached Carol Clobridge, the Chapel Manager of Blount & Curry Funeral Home on Hillsborough Ave. whose parent company, Stewart Enterprises, owns not only funeral chapels but cemeteries also. Their area cemetery managers reviewed the work to be done and Carol spoke to the parent company, who agreed to do it as a "Community Outreach Project" for our Incarnation community. With the above in mind, we wish to thank Carol Clobridge, Stewart Enterprises, Ben Marshall, General Manager of Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park, Memorial Park & Woodlawn Memory Gardens, Mike Rubio, Operations Manager of Garden of Memories and Myrtle Hill Cemeteries and all their staff that worked so hard to accomplish our goal.


In keeping with our tradition, we at incarnation catholic school: Inspire life-long learning,

Challenge each individual to be a disciple of Christ and Strive to live our Catholic faith through service to each other and the community.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW PAROCHIAL VICAR Fr. Jairo Leon Atehortua, age 51 is the second oldest of five children born to Aurora Bermudez and Arturo Atehortua in Belen de Umbria, Colombia. In his middle/high school years he stud-ied with the Claretian Fathers, who nur-tured his faith and planted within him a deep spirituality which led him to seek Christ in the religious life. He entered the

seminary in 1986 after being introduced to the Congregation of the Missions who minister to people all over the world. After ordination to the deaconate in 1994, he taught in the semi-nary and continued to teach after ordination to the priesthood as well as working and ministering to surrounding communities. (Ordained on 6/25/1995 for the Congregation of Mission at Funza Colombia) He came to America after a priest friend from Colombia who was ministering to Catholic communities in America shared his apos-tolate experiences with him. This led him to seek permission from his Community to come to America and work with God’s people here. In June 1999, he arrived at Our Lady Queen of Peace, New Port Richey where he ministered to both the English & Spanish com-munities

Sacramentos: signos que dan vida

Una buena definición que explica muy claramente lo que es un sacramento es la que daba un catecismo antiguo: Los sacramentos son signos visibles de una gracia invisible, que realizan lo que significan. Veamos como se explica esto. Los sacramentos son signos. Estamos rodeados de signos y símbolos por todas partes, desde señales de tráfico hasta gestos no verbales que nos comunican sentimientos y actitudes. Los signos y símbolos nos llevan a otra realidad. Son como un lenguaje. Así, los sacramentos son el lenguaje que expresa la realidad de Dios. Al expresar la realidad de Dios, los sacramentos desde esos signos visibles (pan, agua, vino, aceite…) expresan la gracia de vida, alimento, limpieza, perdón y entrega de Dios y, por lo tanto, nuestra salvación. La gracia es don gratuito (gracia: gratis, tiene la misma raíz) y es ese don lo que expresan los sacramentos. Realizan lo que significan. Los símbolos y signos pueden evocar grandes sentimientos de patriotismo (la bandera, por ejemplo), de respeto por la ley, o de respuesta a una comunicación. Aunque en muchas maneras mueven a las personas a actuar, en realidad no tienen el poder de efectuar un cambio dentro de las personas. Todos esos signos no tienen fuerza de salvación. Lo sacramentos, sin embargo, poseen esa fuerza para hacer actuar la gracia de Dios en nosotros. En un resumen muy breve los sacramentos se clasifican en:

Sacramentos de Iniciación. Los que nos introducen a la vida de Dios.

El Bautismo, que señala nuestra entrada a la familia de Dios y da nueva vida. Utiliza el símbolo del agua para indicar por un lado la vida (que no se da sin agua), la resurrección (entrar en las aguas del Bautismo es enterrarse en la muerte de Cristo para resucitar con Él a una nueva vida); y por otro la limpieza del pecado y la muerte. La Confirmación. Es el don el Espíritu que se expresa en el aceite de la unción de los seguidores de Cristo como reyes, profetas y sacerdotes, y evangelizadores y en la imposición de manos. La Eucaristía. El alimento del propio Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo expresado en el Pan y el Vino, que nos hace un Cuerpo como comunidad, el Cuerpo de Cristo. Sacramentos de Sanación:

La Reconciliación, que repara el daño hecho por el pecado a la relación con Dios, con los demás y con nosotros mismos. La Unción de los enfermos. Sacramentos de Servicio:

El matrimonio, que es la base de la familia, iglesia domestica. El Orden Sacerdotal, que unge a presbíteros, puentes entre Dios y la comunidad cristiana. —©Nuestra Parroquia

ADORACIÓN AL SANTÍSIMO 6 de julio, 2012

El Santísimo estará expuesto para la Adoración después de la Misa de 8:30am hasta las 6:15pm en la capilla. Esta es una excelente oportunidad para que nos acompañen en oración. Jesús preguntó “¿De modo que no han tenido valor de acompañarme ni una hora?”

1 de julio de 2012 pg. 10

EL EJEMPLO DE JESÚS DE AYUDAR A OTROS

En la segunda lectura de hoy Pablo ofrece un argumento maravilloso a sus convertidos en Corinto para tratar de ayudar a los necesitados. Está tratando con un problema práctico, la organización de una colecta para los pobres de la iglesia de Jerusalén; pero, como hace a menudo, saca una importante lección acerca de Jesús para resaltar un punto.

Después de pedirles que demostraran su fe con generosos donativos, les recuerda lo "generoso que ha sido nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que siendo rico, se hizo pobre por ustedes, para que ustedes se hicieran ricos con su pobreza" (2 Corintios 8:9). Con su encarnación nuestro Señor asumió nuestra naturaleza humana, sin duda haciéndose pobre para uno que es Dios. El último acto de gracia de esta pobreza fue subir a la cruz y sus terribles sufrimientos. Con este acto de pobreza sin duda nos hemos hecho ricos. Ahora nuestros pecados pueden ser perdonados; podemos compartir la vida de Dios por medio de los sacramentos; ¡podemos alcanzar la salvación eterna! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Sabías que... La unción, en el simbolismo bíblico y antiguo, contiene varias significaciones: el aceite es signo de abundancia y de alegría; purifica y da agilidad; es signo de curación, pues suaviza las contusiones y las

heridas y el ungido irradia belleza, santidad y fuerza.

ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA 1o de julio de 2012 Padre de bondad, que por medio de tu gracia nos has hecho hijos de la luz, concédenos vivir fuera de las tinieblas del error y permanecer siempre en el esplendor de la verdad. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.
