Dear Parishioners:
The Octave of the Assumption of Mary, which we are celebrating now, culminates tomorrow with the traditional feast of the Immaculate Heart of
Mary (in the modern calendar, it's the Queenship of Mary). It's beautiful that the Church honors our Mother's glory by venerating especially her
Heart. This veneration is the reason why August is traditionally called the Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This feast of Mary's Heart is
the octave feast of the feast of her Assumption into Heaven, which means the two feasts are connected in the logic of the Sacred Liturgy.
The truth of Mary's Assumption means that her physical Heart is in Heaven, glorified in its resurrection and ascension in her Son. Mary is the first
to share in her Son's Resurrection and Ascension. She followed where He went first. Her Heart, which was always in Heaven by faith, hope and
love, is now in Heaven by glory. As we saw last Sunday, she had first suffered and died with Him in her Heart. We celebrate on August 22 that she
has also risen with Him!
Each Christian is invited by grace to this same sharing in Jesus's Resurrection and Ascension. We are all called and empowered to live, like Mary,
with our hearts already in Heaven by faith, hope and charity, so that they can one day be in Heaven in glory. This is the key to happiness even in
this life: to have our treasures and hearts already in the Heavenly happiness that never passes away. We are called by Jesus to live like Mary, suffering and dying with Him so as to rise with Him.
The easiest and most accessible way for us to keep our hearts in Heaven, and thus achieve real happiness, is by the life of prayer, which exercises
the theological virtues of faith, hopeand charity. This is one of the reasons why daily time of prayer is a duty for all Christians. Daily prayer is
ordinarily necessary for salvation. It is the way I keep my heart locked in to my eternal happiness so that I don't deviate by sin from the good path.
In my daily prayer, I meditate on divine things and ask for the help I need to be saved. Prayer, along with the sacraments, is the way for me to follow Jesus and Mary.
The Holy Rosary is a most excellent way to exercise our duty and privilege of prayer. If I pray the Rosary with devout meditation on the mysteries,
I have entered into the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who "kept these things in her Heart." In this way, the Rosary is the best and easiest way for me
to keep my heart in Heaven, in the glorious abode of Mary's Heart.
This time of the octave of the Assumption is an excellent opportunity to commit ourselves to the daily recitation of the Holy Rosary. One could,
for example, pray five decades of the Rosary upon rising, another five decades on his lunch break or during afternoon naps for the kids, and then
another five decades with the whole family at the end of the day. Let this be a kind of back-to-school resolution for us all. If we pray this way, with
devotion and attention and love, we will be saints in no time! Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cause of Our Joy, pray for us!!
May God Bless you all
Father Joseph Previtali
Parish Announcements
Queridos feligreses:
La octava de la Asunción de María, que estamos celebrando ahora,
culmina mañana con la tradicional fiesta del Inmaculado Corazón de
María (en el calendario moderno, es la Realeza de María). Es hermoso que la Iglesia rinde homenaje a la gloria de nuestra Madre
venerando especialmente su corazón. Esta veneración es la razón
por la que Agosto es tradicionalmente llamado el Mes del Corazón
Inmaculado de María. Esta fiesta del Corazón de María es la fiesta
octava de la fiesta de su Asunción al cielo, lo que significa que las
dos fiestas están conectados en la lógica de la sagrada Liturgia. La
verdad de la Asunción de María significa que su corazón físico está
en los cielos, glorificado en su resurrección y ascensión de su Hijo.
María es la primera en participar de la Resurrección y la Ascensión
de su Hijo. Siguió a donde Él fue primero. Su corazón, que estaba
siempre en el Cielo por la fe, la esperanza y el amor, ahora esta en el
cielo por la gloria. Como vimos el domingo pasado, que había sufrido primero y murió con él en su corazón. Celebramos el 22 de agosto que ella también ha resucitado con Él! Cada cristiano es invitado
por la gracia a esta misma participación en la resurrección y ascensión de Jesús. Todos estamos llamados y capacitados para vivir,
como María, con el corazón que ya están en el cielo por la fe, la
esperanza y la caridad, de modo que puedan estar un día de cielo y
la gloria. Esta es la clave de la felicidad en esta vida: tener nuestros
tesoros y corazones en la felicidad celestial que nunca se muere.
Hemos sido llamados por Jesús para vivir como María, sufrir y morir con él a fin de resucitar con Él. La forma más fácil y más accesible para nosotros de mantener el corazón en el Cielo, y así lograr la
verdadera felicidad, por la vida de oración que ejerce las virtudes
teologales de la fe, la esperanza y la caridad. Esta es una de las razones por las que el tiempo diario de oración es un deber de todos los
cristianos. La oración diaria es normalmente necesario para la salvación. Es la manera en que yo guardo mi corazón encerrado en mi
felicidad eterna para que no se aparta por el pecado de la buena
senda. En mi oración diaria, medito en las cosas divinas y pido la
ayuda que necesito para ser salvo. La oración, junto con los sacramentos, es el camino para mí para seguir a Jesús y María. El Santo
Rosario es un camino más excelente para ejercer nuestro deber y
privilegio de la oración. Si oro el Rosario con devota meditación
sobre los misterios, he entrado en el Corazón Inmaculado de María,
que "guardaba estas cosas en su corazón." De este modo, el Rosario
es la mejor manera y más fácil para mí, para mantener mi corazón
en el cielo, en la morada gloriosa del Corazón de María. Esta vez de
la octava de la Asunción es una excelente oportunidad para comprometernos con el rezo diario del Santo Rosario. Se podría, por ejemplo, rezar cinco decenas del Rosario al levantarse, otros cinco décadas en su hora de almuerzo o durante la siesta de la tarde para los
niños, y luego otros cinco décadas con toda la familia al final del
día. Que esto sea una especie de resolución de regreso a la escuela
para todos nosotros. Si oramos de esta manera, con la dedicación y
la atención y el amor, vamos a ser santos en muy poco tiempo! Inmaculado Corazón de María, causa de nuestra alegría, ruega por
nosotros !!
Que Dios los bendiga a todos

WEDDINGS/ BODAS
Couples planning to be married must contact a priest well in
advance of the wedding date. They must also receive personal
preparation for entering marriage.
If either party has previously gone through any forma of civil
or religious marriage with another person, the priest is not
permitted to set a date for the wedding until the Archbishop
office has been consulted.
It should be noted that Catholics, in order
to marry validly, must marry before the
parish priest or his delegate and two witnesses. A civil marriage or a marriage
before non-Catholic minister is not a valid marriage. Couples in such “marriages”
should contact a priest to have the situation rectified.

THANK YOU!!!!
The St. Vincent de Paul Society
would like to thank our parishioners for your generous donations. Thanks to your kindness
our Back to School program at
Our Lady of the Pillar was able to
assist 201 children with gift cards
to purchase new school clothes, as
well as back packs and school supplies for 50 children. At our
food pantry at St. Anthony’s we assisted 132 children with
gift cards to purchase new school shoes. Thank you for giving our needy children a happy start to the new school year.
WORTHY TEACHERS
All who undertake to teach must be endowed with deep love, the
greatest patience, and, most of all, profound humility. The Lord will
find them worthy to become fellow workers with him in the cause of
truth. —St. Joseph Calasanz
