For Those Not Receiving Holy Communion
Aware that there are often those who come to Mass who are not Catholic,
or for some reason cannot partake in Communion, we would like to invite
those people in our assemblies to still come forward in the Communion
procession and, as they approach the Priest or Extraordinary Minister of
Holy Communion, to simply cross their arms over their chest, so that they
might receive a simple blessing.
This is a practice that is utilized in may parts of our country, as a way of
making people feel more welcomed and included.

Riflessione del mese di luglio
CHE COS’È UN SACERDOTE?
MEDITAZIONE DETTATA IN OCCASIONE
DI UNA PRIMA MESSA
(Karl Rahner, Sul sacerdozio)
Nella prima messa si compie un sacrificio tutto particolare
dell'eterno rendimento di grazie. Celebriamo infatti il
momento in cui un uomo, consacrato prete di Gesù
Cristo, compie per la prima volta ciò che d'ora in poi, con
sublime, divina monotonia, dovrà compiere tutti i giorni
della sua vita...
Come popolo dei redenti in Gesù Cristo, noi presentiamo
sugli altari della Chiesa il sacrificio della Nuova Alleanza.
Anche in un giorno come questo, non possiamo far niente
di più di quello che facciamo sempre. Si compie infatti
qualcosa che è così alto da non essere suscettibile di
reale accrescimento: si fa presente in mezzo a noi il
Signore di tutti i secoli, il cuore del mondo e, insieme,
l'azione del suo amore che muove le stelle e tutto
accoglie nella gloria di Dio.
E tuttavia nella prima messa si compie un sacrificio tutto
particolare dell'eterno rendimento di grazie. Celebriamo
infatti il momento in cui un uomo, consacrato prete di
Gesù Cristo, compie per la prima volta ciò che d'ora in
poi, con sublime, divina monotonia, dovrà compiere tutti i
giorni della sua vita, finché un giorno la sua vita intera
sarà consumata in quel sacrificio, che egli celebra ogni
giorno e nella cui accettazione soltanto tutta la realtà
terrena trova la propria accettazione nell'infinita maestà di
Dio. Perché celebriamo solennemente questo giorno?
Forse che la Chiesa vuol indurre i suoi fedeli a
concedere, per così dire, anticipati allori ad un giovane, il
quale non ha fatto ancora niente altro che offrire a Dio il
suo cuore e la sua vita, mentre sarebbe lecito glorificare
solo il sacrificio interamente compiuto?
No, noi non celebriamo un uomo: celebriamo solo il
sacerdozio di Gesù Cristo. Celebriamo la Chiesa, tutta la
Chiesa di tutti i redenti, i santificati, i chiamati alla vita
eterna: quella di cui noi tutti facciamo parte, sia che
siamo preti o 'soltanto' credenti e santificati.
Poiché noi tutti apparteniamo all'unico Corpo del Cristo in
modo tale che ciò che ad uno viene concesso di grazia,
dignità e potenza è grazia ed elevazione per tutti, ed in
maniera tale che nel servizio e nella vocazione di uno si
manifesta la santa dignità di tutti.
ESTATE – TEMPO DI VACANZA – con l’arrivo
dell’estate arriva il meritato riposo e anche le vacanze.
Vi preghiamo di cortesemente leggere l’interno del
nostro bollettino per i vari annunci su vacanze estive,
crociere, ecc., che potete fare insieme alla vostra
famiglia e alla famiglia di Sant’Atanasio. Vi ricordiamo
anche di continuare ad attendere a Messa domenicale e
rimanare sempre vicino al Signore anche durante le
vacanze.

PREGHIERE DEL CRISTIANO - Raccolta di preghiere
di religione cattolica, a cui i cristiani si rivolgono per
chiedere aiuto a nostro Signore.
A cosa serve pregare?
La preghiera è una relazione con Dio, e pregando si è
vicini al Signore. La preghiera deve essere una parte
importante della nostra vita, perchè non si può non stare
lontani da chi ci ama. La preghiera ci mette in contatto
con Dio, in cambio dal Signore riceviamo una grande
sensazione di pace e serenità. Imparare a pregare è
importante come imparare a camminare, più cresciamo
e più diventeremo bravi a pregare e crescendo ci
accorgeremo che pregare sarà il momento più bello
della nostra giornata. Non è importante come si recita la
preghiera, possiamo dirla anche con parole nostre,
questo ci aiuterà a crescere spiritualmente e avvicinarci
sempre di più a Gesù. La nostra vita diventa bellissima
quando incontriamo la persona che il Signore ci ha
donato, questo deve succedere anche tra noi e Dio.

XVII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
La multitude se maravillaba cuando veía que Jesús curaba a los enfermos y
la gente lo seguía por todas partes. Que significarían estas señales? Quien
era este Jesús?
Jesús sabía que la gente que lo seguía tenía necesidades físicas y
espirituales. Por su gran amor y compasión , realizó el milagro de la
multiplicación de los panes y los peces como señal de su identidad. Viendo
las doce canastas de lo que habia sobrado , querían llevarse a Jesús para
hacerlo Rey.
Pero Jesús no quería ser conocido como hacedor de milagros ni como el
líder político enviado a liberar a los judíos de la opresión romana . La
multiplicación de los panes y los peces era una señal que demostraba que Jesús era el hijo de
Dios. El Señor quería que esta señal les hiciera ver la inmensidad de su amor , amor que
finalmente quedaría ratificado en su muerte en la Cruz.
Cristo desea obrar constantemente en nuestra vida y acercarnos al Padre. Su obra es generosa y
rebosante de amor,por que el Señor sabe lo que es mejor para nuestro bienestar espiritual. Y
nosotros , como le responderemos? Que esperamos de él? Lo buscamos solo para que satisfaga
nuestras necesidades personales y terrenales, o vemos que tambien desea atender nuestras
necesidades espirituales mas profundas ? Sabemos que él quiere darnos la vida eterna, es decir la
vida del mundo venidero? Este milagro de la multiplicación de los panes debería hacernos ver que
Jesús es el Salvador y el Señor y que su voluntad para nosotros se proyecta mucho mas allá de
este mundo fisico.
Queridos hermanos , pidamosle al Espiritu Santo que nos haga conocer personalmente a Cristo
hoy y nos de un Corazón puro que desee llenarse de él. No limites a Jesús viendolo solo con ojos
terrenales,sino con ojos que anhelan ver al Salvador tal como lo ve todo el cielo.
