PRAYER AND WORSHIP

Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Each Monday, parishioners pray to seek the help and

assistance of the Lord for healing, family, children and

the needs of the world, seeking the intercession of the Blessed Mother. Following the Novena prayers, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament

takes place. The evening concludes with veneration of a relic of St. Catherine Laboure.

Take some time each Monday to join in the OLPH Novena.

Monday, July 24—7:00 p.m.

Monday, July 31—7:00 p.m.

Monday, August 7—No Devotions

REMINDER REGARDING

THE COMMUNION FAST Please remember that we are supposed to observe a Communion Fast before receiving Holy Communion. This means we do not eat

any foods or drink any liquids for one hour before receiving Holy Communion, the only

exception being water or medicine. This also means that we are not to chew gum during

Mass, and certainly not while we are coming forward to receive Holy Communion. Let’s be sure we are appropriately prepared to receive

Holy Communion by observing this important rule of the Church.

Evening

Prayer All are invited to pray Evening Prayer on Saturdays and

Sundays after the 5:00 p.m. Mass.

Here we pray the psalms, listen to the

Word of God and give thanks to God for the blessings of the day. Evening Prayer is usually about ten to fifteen minutes in length.

So come and pray…

Saturdays and Sundays

After the 5:00 p.m. Mass

“The Liturgy of the Hours is intended to become the prayer of the whole People of God. In it Christ himself ‘continues his priestly work through his Church….Pastors of souls should see to it that the principal hours, especially Vespers (Evening Prayer) are celebrated in common in church on Sundays and on the more solemn feasts.’”

-Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1175

Prayer for Peace

Please join us for a special Holy Hour devoted

to praying for world peace within our own

country and throughout the world. This Holy

Hour for Peace, with prayers focusing on the

intention of peace, will be held on the second,

third and fourth Sunday evenings of the month

from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Holy Hour of

Reparation which has been held on the first

Sunday of the month will continue every first Sunday evening as usual, with the prayers that

are usually said for that first Sunday Holy Hour. Lord Jesus Christ,

who are called the Prince of Peace,

Who are yourself our peace

and our reconciliation,

Who so often said ‘Peace to you’,

Grant us peace!

Make all men and women witnesses

of truth, justice and brotherly love.

Banish from their hearts

whatever might endanger peace.

Enlighten our rulers

that they may guarantee

and defend the great gift of peace.

May all peoples of the earth

become as brothers and sisters.

May longed-for peace blossom forth

and reign always over us all.

AMEN

Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us!

(Pope Saint John XXIII)

Lecturas del Domingo 17º del Tiempo Ordinario - Ciclo A

Domingo 30 de Julio Dios nos eligió hace mucho tiempo de una manera especial y nos destinó a ser verdaderas imágenes de su Hijo, para que Jesús sea el mayor de muchos hermanos. Que nuestro hermano Jesús esté siempre con ustedes

Primera Lectura (1 Reyes 3,5.7-12): La Sabiduría, Tesoro de Dios.

Los que buscan la sabiduría para discernir entre el bien y el mal y para hacer la voluntad de Dios como el don más excelso son bendecidos por Dios. Ésta fue la experiencia de Salomón.

Segunda Lectura (Romanos 8,28-30): El ser Sabio Plan de Dios para el Hombre

Dios nos llama, por pura iniciativa suya, a ser sus hijos e hijas.

Evangelio (Mateo 13,44-52): El Reino de Dios es el Más Preciado Tesoro

El reino de Dios vale más que cualquier otra cosa en el mundo. Por él habríamos de estar dispuestos a renunciar a todo lo demás.

1. ¿Qué Es Lo Que Más Apreciamos? Para comprender qué es lo más valioso para ustedes, no piensen en sus preocupaciones y en sus ansias habituales, porque sólo están en la superficie de las cosas. Piensen en los momentos de crisis en su vida, cuando tienen que elegir lo único que realmente importa. ¿Qué será eso? ¿Acaso ustedes mismos, las posesiones que tienen, o el Señor? ¿Tienen ustedes el valor de hacer la elección correcta? Pidan al Señor que les ayude a elegirle a él y a su reino. El resto no cuenta.

2. ¿Por Qué lo arriesgaría Todo? La gente sueña con frecuencia en encontrar un tesoro o ganar el primer premio en la lotería nacional. El

mensaje de hoy nos pregunta: Para ustedes, cristianos, ¿es su fe, su vida cristiana, su intimidad con Dios el tesoro más grande de su vida? ¿Están dispuestos a arriesgar todo por ese tesoro? Efesios 5:14 El reino de Dios, el evangelio, nuestra fe son la perla y el tesoro que tenemos que encontrar y guardar. Que el Señor nos enriquezca a todos con esos bienes. Despierta tu que duermes levántate de entre los muertos y la luz de Cristo brillara sobre ti. 15 examinen pues con mucho esmero su conducta. No anden como tontos, sino como hombres sensatos. 16 Aprovechen el momento presente, porque estos tiempos son malos, 17 por lo tanto no sean irresponsables, sino traten de comprender cuál es la voluntad del Señor.

Gospel Reflection Questions…. After reading next Sunday’s Gospel take

some time to pray on it before you come

to Mass. Use the questions below to aid

your reflection.

1. Did the pearl finder and the merchant have to be shrewd about obtaining their treasures? What about you? Are you shrewd about recognizing the “treasure” or the

Kingdom of God in your life? Do you find God, or at least look for God, in all things in your life? Do you notice when God is “whispering,” or just when God is “shouting” in your life?

2. What does Pope Francis say is the “Pearl of great price? How would you rank as treasures the graces that come from this “pearl:” truth, mercy and joy?

The good news is the precious pearl of which we read in the gospel. It is not a thing but a

mission. This is evident to anyone who has experienced the “delightful and comforting joy of evangelizing” (Evangelii Gaudium, 10). …

Good news. A single word—gospel—that, even as it is spoken, becomes truth, brimming with joy and mercy. We should never attempt to separate these three graces of the gospel: its truth, which is non-negotiable; its mercy, which is unconditional and offered to all sinners; and its joy, which is personal and open to everyone. Truth, mercy and joy: these three go together.

“The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus” (ibid., 1)

Holy Chrism Mass Homily

of His Holiness Pope Francis,

PREPARING FOR Sunday, July 30, 2017—

THE SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

We know that all things work for good for those who love God,

who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Readings for the Week

1 Kings 3:5, 7-12

When King Solomon asked the Lord for the gifts of wisdom and

understanding, rather than for greater riches and power, the Lord was pleased and granted his request. Ironically, it was through exercising this gift as king that Solomon gained great renown, and

subsequently acquired the great riches and power he did not ask for. While it was through this prosperity that Solomon was able to

build the Temple, the promised house for the Lord, the temple the Lord really wanted to dwell in was Solomon’s heart. When

Solomon lost his delight in the Lord, he would be on his way to losing everything.

Romans 8:28-30

Because of Christ, all of God’s promises are sure to be fulfilled for all who love Him. All who love God will be empowered to become

like Christ in all ways, no longer falling short of the glory of God, but following Him in life and death. Then one day we will share in

His very glory with Him.

Matthew 13:44-52

The first two parables in this reading both have the same point. The person who finds a buried treasure and the merchant who

finds a pearl of great price sell all that they have to acquire these finds. The third parable of the net cast into the sea which pulls up both good and bad fish reminds us that this life is full of both

righteous and wicked people who will be judged at the end times (and not by us). The implicit meaning of all three parables is the

same: one must value the Kingdom of God above all else in order to possess it, in this life and in the next.
