PRAYER AND REFLECTION July 9, th Sunday in Ordinary Time INTRODUCTION Today s hopeful readings are full of promise. These words speak to people coming out of exile, to Jesus followers who are burdened, to those struggling to live as early Christians. Living in a time when we are burdened by information, negative or misleading, or disinformation as well as serious divisions and threats, we, too, need encouragement. We seek honorable leaders and words we can trust. Do we allow God s word to be a true source of good news for us? What would happen if we allowed ourselves to accept Jesus invitation to come to him for rest? PRAYER: Let us pray for all who carry heavy burdens. For all of us in the church who grow weary or frightened, despite our faith we pray, For those who have lost hope in the future, who cannot find any source of good news we pray, For believers who have lost hope or who doubt the veracity of God s word we pray, For those who have become cynical, who are overwhelmed by negativism, doubt or confusion we pray, For catechists, teachers, pastors, theologians, writers and all who are dedicated to sharing the good news we pray, For families who need time for recreation during these summer months, but especially for those who cannot afford it we pray, For the hungry, the homeless and the lonely; and for those who have died we pray, PRAYER: Good and loving God, we come to you as people who are sometimes or often burdened. Give us the strength and courage to live Jesus call, no matter how difficult that may be. Help us to encourage one another, so that we may all belong to the One in whose name we pray. Amen.

5 14 DOMINGO DO TEMPO COMUM ANO A DIA 09 DE JUNHO DE 2017 Importa que imitemos o Senhor. EVANGELHO DE SÃO MATEUS 11, EU SOU MANSO E HUMILDE DE CORAÇÃO. IMPORTA QUE IMITEMOS O SENHOR! Deus criou-nos para vivermos alegres e O louvarmos eternamente, como expressão da mais profunda e verdadeira felicidade. Para que esta meta se atinja, é necessário fazer bom uso da liberdade que Ele nos deu. Jesus, Mestre divino, veio ensinar-nos a optar pelo melhor. Hoje fala-nos da virtude fundamental do cristão, característica essencial do Seu Reino a humildade. E, como bom e excelente Mestre que é, a todos ensina, fazendo, praticando. Ele, que nos dá os mais sublimes exemplos em todas as virtudes, chama mesmo particularmente a atenção para esta: «Aprendei de mim que sou manso e humilde de coração». Não foi por acaso para Deus não há acasos que Jesus nasceu numa pobre manjedoura, pertenceu a uma família humilde, quis passar por ser «o filho do carpinteiro», viveu em Nazaré cidade por todos desprezada, não tinha onde reclinar a cabeça, entrou em Jerusalém montado num pobre jumentinho, lava os pés aos Apóstolos, é cuspido, esbofeteado, flagelado, coroado de espinhos e ridicularizado pelas ruas de Jerusalém, é pregado na cruz e morre no meio de dois ladrões. Não podia ter feito mais para nos revelar quanto nos ama, como é monstruoso o pecado e ensinar a virtude fundamental da humildade. Com a vivência tão profunda desta virtude, o Senhor provou também quão errado foi o caminho seguido pelos nossos primeiros pais e que hoje continua a iludir tantos homens o orgulho. A cegueira estonteante que este vício provoca é de tal forma dramática, que é causa de todas as tragédias humanas, arrastando homens pelos caminhos errados da vida, provocadores de tantas lágrimas, sofrimento e atraso social. Como só com a virtude da humildade existe capacidade para captar as verdades eternas e as grandes lições que Jesus nos dá, Ele proclamou esta linda oração que o Evangelho da Missa de hoje nos transmite: «Eu Te bendigo, ó Pai, Senhor do céu e da terra, porque escondestes estas verdades aos sábios e inteligentes e as revelaste aos pequeninos». Não podemos ficar indiferentes perante o apelo e o exemplo dado por Jesus. Ele continua a anunciar esta virtude vivendo humildemente conosco em todos os Sacrários da Terra e declarou que considera feito a Si mesmo tudo o que se fizer aos mais pobres, crianças, presos, abandonados e marginalizados da sociedade. Com todos e a cada um continua a identificar-se. Esta virtude fundamental será uma realidade nas nossas vidas na medida em que formos verdadeiros. A verdade, diz-nos que nosso, nosso, só é verdadeiramente o pecado. Tudo o mais são dádivas de Deus, que importa fazer render, e das quais um dia teremos de prestar contas. Que Ele nos faça verdadeiros.(extraído do site presbíteros.com) AGRADECIMENTO Por esse boletim quero agradecer a participação de todos na FESTA DE SÃO JOÃO, no dia 24 de junho no Campo do Espírito Santo. Foi um momento de verdadeira vivencia familiar e isso muito me alegrou por ter sido a primeira festa que eu participo com vocês. Vi só alegria na fisionomia de todos os que ali chegaram e permaneceram. Verdadeira festa da Sagrada Familia. Parabens a todos, sem mencionar esse ou aquele. Todos fizeram a festa. AVISO AOS HOMENS DA PARÓQUIA Toda quarta-feira as 19:30h temos a reza do Terço dos Homens na nossa Igreja Holy Family. Só está faltando você. Venha experimentar estar em comunidade para rezar o terço com Nossa Senhora. Lembrete: São apenas 20 minutos que você deixa de ficar em casa para se unir com outros irmãos. Pe Elcio Antonio dos Santos Silva pela Comunidade do Apostolado Brasileiro em Lowell a festa.
