Liturgy of the weekOUR PARISH - 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time /20° Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
The king ordered Ebed-melech the Cushite to take three men along with him, and draw the prophet Jeremiah out of the cistern before he should die. - Jeremiah 38:10
The Lord heard my cry. He drew me out of the pit of destruction. . . . - Psalm 40:2, 3 . . . keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. . . . - Hebrews 12:2 From now on a household of five will be divided. . . . - Luke 12:52 Ebed-melech interceded for Jeremiah, and he was heard. For whom will we intercede this week? God hears our cries and saves us from destruction. Whose cries will we hear this week? How will we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus? Will we accept division in our own lives as a result of putting God first?
Vigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "10.Entonces ordenó el rey a Ebed Mélek el kusita: «Toma tú mismo de aquí treinta hombres, y subes al profeta Jeremías del pozo antes de que muera.»" - Jeremías, 38 - Bíblia Católica Online "Yahveh escuchó mi clamor". "Me sacó de la fosa fatal" - Salmos, 40 - Bíblia Católica Online . . ."2.fijos los ojos en Jesús" - Hebreos, 12 - Bíblia Católica Online "52.Porque desde ahora habrá cinco en una casa y estarán divididos" - Lucas, 12 - Bíblia Católica Online Ebed-melec intercedió por Jeremías, y fue oído. ¿Por quién intercederemos esta semana?

Gospel Meditation
The Ups and Downs of Following Jesus
It is said that in the Book of Psalms, there are basically two kinds of Psalms: the “Wow” Psalms, which praise God for his greatness, and the “Ouch” Psalms, which express lamentation and pleas for God’s help. Today our Psalm Response is “Lord, come to my aid!” It is from Psalm 40, which is a plea to God to rescue someone who is “afflicted and poor” and to lift him “from the pit of destruction, out of the mud . . . ” Today’s first reading describes how Jeremiah was rescued just before he died of thirst in a muddy cistern. The Scriptures often describe life in terms of highs and lows. The spiritual life is full of extremes. We are either doing penance or we are celebrating. We are either carrying the cross or we are rejoicing in the Resurrection. We are either cold or hot. Jesus tells us not to be lukewarm, or he will vomit us out of his mouth! (Rev. 3:16) In today’s Gospel Jesus says “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!” Then Jesus immediately continues by speaking about his baptism of suffering, and about the divisions and persecutions that occur even within our own families (Luke 12:49-53). It seems that Jesus may have been speaking of our modern world with its “woke” and “cancel” culture. Within our own families, there are those who accuse us of being unenlightened and who would like to silence us. Children often come home from school or from college and challenge their parents about their Catholic beliefs and our family values. Jesus foresaw all of this. He understands what we are going through because he predicted that it would happen. The blazing fire of love that Jesus came to light upon the earth is not accepted by everyone. Nevertheless, we must not become lukewarm. We must not fail to hold high the torch of truth in our dark world. We must stand by the true teachings of the Catholic church about marriage and family and respect for all human life. We must uphold God’s law of love, even if we are attacked and told that we are the ones who are “haters.” We must keep loving. We must keep smiling. If we want to become saints, we must warm up to the idea of these extremes of joy and suffering. We must profess our faith and sing our psalms. We must keep praying even for our enemies. We must love even those who might make us suffer because that is what Jesus did. We must walk forward, even when we see opposition all around us, never taking our eyes off of the Lord: “Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader, and perfecter of faith. For the sake of the joy that lay before him he endured the cross . . . ” (Heb. 12:2).
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO Altibajos en el Seguimiento de Jesús Se dice que en el Libro de los Salmos hay básicamente dos tipos de Salmos: los Salmos alabanza y los Salmos de lamento. ¡En inglés se dice que son los Salmos “wow!” y los Salmos “ouch!” ¡Los Salmos “wow!” son los Salmos que alaban a Dios por su grandeza. Los Salmos “ouch” expresen el dolor. ¡En español se dice “ay ya yai” o bien “pobre de mí” o “qué dolor!” Los Salmos de “ouch” expresan lamentación y súplicas por la ayuda de Dios. Hoy nuestro Salmo Responsorial es “¡Señor, ven en mi ayuda!” Es del Salmo 40, que es una súplica a Dios para que rescate a una persona que está "afligido y pobre" y lo levante "del pozo de la destrucción, del lodo..." Esto es los que paso con Jeremías cuando lo echaron en un poso donde había puro lodo, y estaba muriendo de sed: “En el pozo no había agua, sino lodo, y Jeremías quedó hundido en el lodo.” Pero Jeremías fue rescatado a la ultima hora. (Jeremías 38:6,13). Las Escrituras a menudo describen la vida en términos de altibajos. La vida espiritual está llena de extremos. O estamos haciendo penitencia, o estamos celebrando. O llevamos la cruz o nos regocijamos en la Resurrección. Somos fríos o calientes. ¡Jesús nos dice que, si somos tibios, Él nos vomitará de su boca! (Apoc. 3:16) En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús dice: “He venido a traer fuego a la tierra, ¡y cuánto desearía que ya estuviera ardiendo!” Enseguida, Jesús habla inmediatamente del “bautismo de dolor” que tendría que sufrir. Luego habla de las divisiones y persecuciones que ocurren incluso dentro de nuestras propias familias (Lucas 12:49-53). Puede ser que Jesús estaba pensando en nuestro ahora en este país. Se habla de “woke” y de “cancel culture”. Esto quiere decir "despertar" y "cancelar". Muchos quieren insultarnos con la acusación que no somos “despiertos” y que nuestras creencias deberían ser “canceladas.” Aun dentro de nuestras propias familias tenemos a veces familiares que nos acusan de no estar “iluminados” y quisieran silenciarnos. Los niños a menudo regresan a casa de su escuela pública o de su universidad y se ponen a criticar a sus padres. Vuelven a casa y se burlan de nuestras creencias católicas y nuestros valores familiares. Jesús previó todo esto. Jesús nos entiende. Jesús sabía exactamente lo que estamos pasando ahora. Jesús predijo que sucedería. El fuego ardiente de amor que Jesús quiso traer es el fuego de amor de los que obedecen a los mandamientos y tienen amor autentico por Dios y por su prójimo. Este fuego ardiente no es apreciado por todos. Sin embargo, no debemos volvernos tibios. Debemos levantar la antorcha de la verdad para iluminar la oscuridad de nuestro mundo confundido. Debemos defender las enseñanzas morales de la iglesia católica. La iglesia tiene enseñanzas muy sabias sobre el matrimonio, sobre la familia y sobre el respeto que se debe por toda vida humana. Debemos defender la ley divina que es una ley de amor autentico. Debemos profesar el amor de Dios, incluso si se nos ataca y nos acusan. Nos insultan y nos acusan, diciendo que somos nosotros los que tenemos odio. Debemos seguir amando. Debemos seguir sonriendo. Si queremos llegar a ser santos, debemos acostumbrarnos a estos extremos de alegría y sufrimiento. ¡Debemos proclamar nuestra fe y seguir cantar los salmos de alta voz! Debemos seguir orando incluso por nuestros enemigos. Debemos amar incluso a aquellos que nos puedan hacer sufrir, porque eso es lo que hizo Jesús. Debemos seguir adelante, incluso cuando vemos oposición a cada lado. No debemos desviar la vista del Señor: “Fija la mirada en Jesús, autor y consumador de nuestra fe. Él, en vista del gozo que se le proponía, aceptó la cruz, sin temer su ignominia …” (Heb. 12:2)

The Woman
In the Gospels we hear Jesus refer to his mother Mary as “Woman.” This reference should draw our attention to both Genesis and Revelation. But who is this “Woman,” and why is she so central to salvation history? This powerful film presents the Catholic teaching about Mary and her important role in the life of the Church today. On this Solemnity of the Assumption, let us ponder Mary’s role in our own lives! To watch this film, visit https://watch.formed.org/the-woman-1/videos/the-woman

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”

A message from Fr. Mark:
Happy Feast of St. Andre Bessette! January 6 is the anniversary of the death of “Frere Andre”, the miracle-worker of Montreal. When he died in 1937, approximately one million people came to his funeral services because he was famous for curing sick people. He would pray to St. Joseph, and many thousands of people were cured during his lifetime as well as after his death. Pope Francis has declared this year 2021 to be the year of St. Joseph, who is the most powerful saint in heaven! Let us be like St. Andre Bessette and try to increase our love for St. Joseph, so that he will help us love Our Lord and Our Lady as he did! I have written an article on St. Andre Bessette and St. Joseph. To read it, please click here. Fr. Mark Wagner To read Fr. Mark's articles, please click on the links below.

CELEBRATING MASS DURING COVID-19 / MISA DURANTE COVID-19
New Guidelines for Sunday Masses as of July 31, 2021
1. Since June 27, it has once again been made obligatory for Catholics in our diocese to attend Mass on Sundays, unless they are unable to do so because of ill health or other serious reasons. The dispensation from the obligation to participate in Mass which had been given to us during the pandemic will now be abrogated and the obligation will be reinstated. However, those who are not comfortable attending in-person may request further dispensation from their pastor. Those who are ill, vulnerable to serious illness, or caring for a vulnerable person have a serious reason to refrain from participation in Sunday Mass and do not need to obtain this special dispensation. 2. Please DO NOT ATTEND MASS if you are unwell. Just as in pre-Pandemic, we should all be respectful of others if we are not well. Those who are not feeling well or have symptoms consistent with COVID-19 must not attend Mass. 3. Our parish will continue to provide Livestream Masses for the sake of those who are sick and homebound. 4. Outdoor Masses will be discontinued because the distancing requirements within the church have been removed. Outdoor seating will be allowed at all Masses in shaded areas outside the open doors of the church. Please bring your own chairs for outdoor seating. 5. Be respectful of those who might still feel afraid to return to Mass. The diocese has directed that those who are not fully vaccinated are to wear a mask at Mass, and that even those who are vaccinated are highly encouraged to wear a mask. However, this will not be enforced by means of verification, but rather on an honor system. Some vaccinated persons may choose to wear a mask because they are taking care of a vulnerable loved one. Please be considerate of those who might be afraid of sitting next to someone who is not wearing a mask. Those who feel most concerned about contagion may sit in the South transept of the church where there will be increased social distancing (two pews closed between each open pew). Please be respectful and do not judge others for their decisions as regards wearing or not wearing a mask at Mass. 6. We are no longer required to enforce social distancing and capacity limits in the church, but at Presentation Parish we will continue to close some of the pews so that there is at least one empty pew between each pew that is occupied. Parishioners may sit in any open pew. Some particularly vulnerable persons may choose to sit outside the church, or in the Southwest section of our church where there will be increased distancing between occupied pews (two empty pews between each occupied pew). 7. Holy Water fonts will again be made available to the faithful and will be cleaned/emptied regularly. 8. Congregational singing is now permitted. You may prefer to just listen to the cantor, but if you wish to sing you can sing out loud to the Lord! 9. Click here to read the full statement given by the bishop and our diocese. Wearing masks is highly recommended! Alert your friends who do not have access to the internet. Thank you to all the faithful who have continued to strengthen their faith with us both in-person and online. May we continue to serve the Lord together while looking out for the spiritual and physical well-being of our brothers and sisters in Christ. |
Reglas y Recomendaciones para las Misas dominicales a partir del 31 de julio de 2021
1. Desde Junio, se ha vuelto a obligar a los católicos de nuestra diócesis a asistir a Misa los domingos, a menos que no puedan hacerlo por problemas de salud u otras razones graves. La dispensa de la obligación de participar en la Misa que se nos había dado durante la pandemia ahora será abrogada y la obligación se restablecerá. Sin embargo, aquellos que no se sientan cómodos asistiendo en persona pueden solicitar más dispensa de su pastor. Aquellos que están enfermos, vulnerables a enfermedades graves o que cuidan a una persona vulnerable tienen una razón seria para abstenerse de participar en la Misa dominical y no necesitan obtener esta dispensa especial. 2. NO ASISTA A MISA si no se encuentra bien. Al igual que en la etapa prepandémica, todos debemos ser respetuosos con los demás si no estamos bien. Aquellos que no se sientan bien o tengan síntomas compatibles con COVID-19 no deben asistir a Misa. 3. Nuestra parroquia continuará brindando Misas en vivo por el bien de aquellos que están enfermos y confinados en casa. 4. Se suspenderán las Misas al aire libre porque se eliminaron los requisitos de distanciamiento dentro de la iglesia. Se permitirán asientos al aire libre en todas las Misas en áreas sombreadas afuera de las puertas abiertas de la iglesia. Traiga sus propias sillas para sentarse al aire libre. 5. Sea respetuoso con aquellos que todavía puedan tener miedo de regresar a la Misa. La diócesis ha ordenado que aquellos que no estén completamente vacunados deben usar una máscara en la Misa, y se recomienda vivamente que aquellos que están vacunados usen también una máscara. Sin embargo, esto no se hará cumplir mediante verificación, sino más bien en un sistema de honor. Algunas personas vacunadas pueden optar por usar una máscara porque están cuidando a un ser querido vulnerable. Sea considerado con aquellos que puedan tener miedo de sentarse al lado de alguien que no esté usando una máscara. Aquellos que se sientan más preocupados por el contagio pueden sentarse en el crucero sur de la iglesia donde habrá un mayor distanciamiento social (dos bancos cerrados entre cada banco abierto). Por favor, sea respetuoso y no juzgue a los demás por sus decisiones en cuanto a usar o no una máscara en la Misa. 6. Ya no estamos obligados a imponer el distanciamiento social y los límites de capacidad en la iglesia, pero en la iglesia de la Presentación continuaremos cerrando algunos de los bancos para que haya al menos un banco vacío entre cada banco que esté ocupado. Los feligreses pueden sentarse en cualquier banco abierto. Algunas personas particularmente vulnerables pueden optar por sentarse fuera de la iglesia, o en la sección suroeste de nuestra iglesia, donde habrá un mayor distanciamiento entre los bancos ocupados (dos bancos vacíos entre cada banco ocupado). 7. Las fuentes de agua bendita se pondrán nuevamente a disposición de los fieles y se limpiarán / vaciarán con regularidad. 8. Ahora se permite el canto congregacional. Puede que prefieras simplemente escuchar al cantor, pero si deseas cantar, ¡puedes cantar en voz alta al Señor! 9.Haga clic aquí para leer la declaración completa dada por el obispo y nuestra diócesis. Se recomienda encarecidamente el uso de mascarilla. Avise a sus amigos que no tienen acceso aInternet. Gracias a todos los fieles que han continuado fortaleciendo su fe con nosotros tanto en persona como en línea. Que podamos seguir sirviendo al Señor juntos mientras buscamos el bienestar espiritual y físico de nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo. |

CONFESSIONS/CONFESIONES
Confessions will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 5:00 PM and Saturday at 9:00 AM inside the church.
“Peace be with you!” With these words, the Risen Lord greeted his frightened Apostles in the Upper Room on the day of his Resurrection. They were troubled, anxious, and fearful—much like each one of us at some point in our lives. Christ repeated the words, “Peace be with you.” But then he added, Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them” (Jn 20:19-23).
For your protection and the protection of our priests and everyone around you, please wear a mask and maintain safe social distancing of at least six (6) feet.

“¡La paz esté con ustedes!” Con estas palabras el Señor Resucitado saludó a sus asustados Apóstoles en el Cenáculo el día de su Resurrección. Estaban confundidos, ansiosos y temerosos, muy parecido a como nos sentimos nosotros en algún momento de nuestras vidas. Cristo repitió estas palabras, “La paz esté con ustedes.” Pero entonces añadió, “Reciban el Espíritu Santo. A quienes ustedes perdonen los pecados, queden perdonados” (Jn 20:19-23).
Para su protección y la protección de nuestros sacerdotes y de todos los que lo rodean, use un máscara y mantenga un distanciamiento social seguro de al menos seis (6) pies.
