MEssage from our MinistersTwenty-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hugs them tight. . . . Forgive your neighbor’s injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven. - Sirach 27:30 – 28:2
He pardons all your iniquities, heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, crowns you with kindness and compassion. - Psalm 103:3-4 For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. - Romans 14:7-8 Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan. . . . Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you? - Matthew 18:27, 33 Do we hug tight the wrath and anger that choke our soul? Or do we pardon, let go, and forgive so we can be freed from the chokehold that imprisons us? Perhaps this week we can sit with Jesus and ask him to show us how he was able to forgive even those who crucified him. Perhaps we can ask him for the grace and strength to forgive someone or even ourselves. Let us pray for the grace and desire to open our hearts and release the grip of unforgiveness so the light of love will rise in our hearts and compassion will live and act in our very being.

"30.Rencor e ira son también abominables, esa es la propiedad del pecador." Eclesiástico, 27 - Bíblia Católica Online "2.Perdona a tu prójimo el agravio, y, en cuanto lo pidas, te serán perdonados tus pecados." Eclesiástico, 28 - Bíblia Católica Online "3.El, que todas tus culpas perdona, que cura todas tus dolencias, 4.rescata tu vida de la fosa, te corona de amor y de ternura," Salmos, 103 - Bíblia Católica Online "7.Porque ninguno de nosotros vive para sí mismo; como tampoco muere nadie para sí mismo. 8.Si vivimos, para el Señor vivimos; y si morimos, para el Señor morimos. Así que, ya vivamos ya muramos, del Señor somos." Romanos, 14 - Bíblia Católica Online "27.Movido a compasión el señor de aquel siervo, le dejó en libertad y le perdonó la deuda." Mateo, 18 - Bíblia Católica Online Leia mais em: https://www.bibliacatolica.com.br/es/la-biblia-de-jerusalen/mateo/18/ . . . . "33.¿No debías tú también compadecerte de tu compañero, del mismo modo que yo me compadecí de ti?" Mateo, 18 - Bíblia Católica Online Leia mais em: https://www.bibliacatolica.com.br/es/la-biblia-de-jerusalen/mateo/18/ ¿Abrazamos con fuerza la ira y esta ahoga nuestra alma? ¿O perdonamos, soltamos y disculpamos; para que podamos ser liberados del estrangulamiento que nos aprisiona? Quizás esta semana podamos sentarnos con Jesús y pedirle que nos muestre cómo pudo perdonar, incluso a los que lo crucificaron. Quizás podamos pedirle la gracia y la fortaleza para perdonar a alguien o incluso a nosotros mismos. Oremos por la gracia y el deseo de abrir nuestros corazones y soltar las garras de la falta de perdón para que la luz del amor se eleve en nuestros corazones y la compasión viva y actúe en nuestro mismo ser. AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Sincerely, Fr. Mark PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19
Actualización de los Procedimientos de la Pandemia Parroquial
Durante este tiempo de pandemia, la Iglesia de la Presentación de la Santísima Virgen María está implementando todos los procedimientos de seguridad que se requieren, así como muchas precauciones adicionales que se recomiendan para la seguridad de los miembros de nuestra comunidad. Estos incluyen la limpieza, desinfección y el uso de máscarillas, termómetros y distanciamiento social adecuado. Recopilamos información de contacto de todos los que asisten a todas las Misas, en caso de que tengamos que llamar a todos los que asistieron a una Misa en particular. Esto ha sucedido dos veces en las últimas semanas. Tuvimos que notificar a todos los que asistieron a dos de nuestras Misas aquí en Presentación, porque más tarde supimos que esas dos Misas habían sido atendidas por alguien que luego dio positivo por coronavirus. En ambos casos, la persona que asistía a la Misa no tenía ningún síntoma mientras asistía a la Misa, practicaba el distanciamiento social mientras asistía a la Misa y se había conformado con todos los protocolos establecidos de la parroquia. Nos aseguraron que no entraron en contacto cercano con otros en la Misa. Sin embargo, un miembro del personal de la parroquia notificó a cada uno de los que habían asistido a esas Misas, solo para informarles que deberían estar atentos a los síntomas. También los llamamos nuevamente dos semanas después en un esfuerzo por asegurarnos de que nuestros protocolos de seguridad en la Misa fueran efectivos y que nadie se infectara al asistir a cualquiera de las Misas. Una de estas Misas fue una Misa de confirmación celebrada el 29 de junio para las familias de nuestras escuelas parroquiales, y la otra fue a la Misa de 5:00 p.m. el 5 de julio. Estamos proporcionando esta información para que todos puedan tomar decisiones informadas sobre si desean asistir a nuestras Misas durante la pandemia. Si alguien da positivo por coronavirus, notifique a la parroquia de inmediato (209-472-2150) para que podamos notificar a quienes estuvieron presentes en la Misa o al servicio al que asistió. La información recibida será tratada de manera confidencial. La Misa será AFUERA con el altar frente al Centro Comunitario.

During this time of pandemic, the Church of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is implementing all the safety procedures that are required, as well as many additional precautions that are recommended for the safety of our community members. These include cleaning, disinfecting, and the use of masks, thermometers, and proper social distancing. We gather contact information of everyone who attends all Masses, just in case we have to call everyone who attended a particular Mass. This has happened two times in recent weeks. We had to notify everyone who attended two of our Masses here at Presentation, because we later learned that those two Masses had been attended by someone who later tested positive for coronavirus. In both cases, the person attending the Mass did not have any symptoms while attending the Mass, practiced social distancing while attending the Mass, and had conformed to the all established protocols of the parish. They assured us that they did not come in close contact with others at the Mass. Nevertheless, a parish staff member notified each of those who had attended those Masses, just to inform them that they should be alert for symptoms. We also called them again two weeks later in an effort to make sure that our safety protocols at Mass were effective and that no one became infected by attending either of the Masses. One of these Masses was a Confirmation Mass celebrated on June 29 for our parish school families, and the other was our 5:00 p.m. Mass on July 5. We are providing this information so that everyone can make informed decisions about whether they wish to attend our Masses during the pandemic. If anyone tests positive for coronavirus, please notify the parish right away (209-472-2150) so that we can notify those who were present at the Mass or service you attended. The information received will be handled in a confidential manner. Al 19 de JuLio de 2020PrayerspRAYER FOR THE sICK

Stewardship ReflEctions
From our Stewardship Council
24th Sunday of Ordinary Time
“For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; so then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.” – Romans 14:8
This is the essence of stewardship – everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God. We aren’t “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts that God has given us, especially our very own lives. Pray to God, daily, and ask Him how He is calling you to live the life that He intended for you.

24º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“Porque si vivimos, vivimos para el Señor, y si morimos, morimos por el Señor; entonces, si vivimos o morimos, somos del Señor". - ROMANOS 14: 8
Esta es la esencia de la corresponsabilidad: todo lo que tenemos y todo lo que somos es un regalo de Dios. No somos "dueños" de nada, somos simplemente "administradores" de los dones que Dios nos ha dado, especialmente nuestras propias vidas. Ore a Dios todos los días y pregúntele cómo le está llamando a vivir la vida que Él pensó para usted.
Children's PRayer
From our Minister of religious Education
Sharing the Gospel
Jesus says to forgive each other seventy times seven or 490 times. That's forgiving once each day for more than a year. Put 490 jelly beans in a gallon "Forgiveness Jug." Each time you forgive someone, eat a jelly bean. When you realize that God has forgiven you, it is easier to forgive others from your heart. God fills you with his love, which is even better than jelly beans. Then you can forgive without holding a grudge.
Prayer
God, teach me to forgive other people the way you forgive me.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of you and your friend forgiving each other and playing together.
Mission for the Week
Name one person you are angry with. Pray to God. Ask God to help you let go of your anger and really forgive.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

St. Cyprian of Carthage
|
c. 200-258
Feast Day: September 16th One of the first great theologians in the church, this Latin father is remembered today for his writings, which are quoted in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. A late convert, Thascius Cecilianus Cyprianus was a lawyer, rhetorician and teacher before being chosen by the people and clergy of Carthage, in North Africa, as their bishop. He was drawn into papal controversies and schisms, but he also was known for pastoral zeal and aiding plague victims. Having survived one Roman persecution, he later was beheaded for refusing to participate in state religious ceremonies. He wrote biblical commentary and treatises on church unity and the sacraments. Cyprian is the patron saint of North Africa and Algeria. Copyright © 2020, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC. All rights reserved. |

San Cipriano de Cartago
c. 200-258
Día de fiesta—16 de Septiembre
Este sacerdote latino, uno de los más grandes teólogos de la iglesia, es recordado hoy por sus escritos los cuales se citan en los documentos del Concilio Vaticano II. Un converso tardío, Thascius Cecilianus Cyprianus fue abogado, retórico y maestro antes de ser elegido por el pueblo y por el clero de Cartago, al norte de África, como su obispo. Cipriano se vio envuelto en controversias papales y cismas pero también era conocido por su celo pastoral y por su ayuda a las víctimas de la plaga. Él sobrevivió una persecución romana pero más adelante fue decapitado por rehusar a participar en unas ceremonias religiosas estatales. Cipriano escribió comentarios bíblicos y tratados sobre la unidad de la Iglesia y los sacramentos. Él es el santo patrón de África del Norte y de Argelia.
