“Grab Your Glove – Let’s Go Outside”
Men to boys passing American torches
Lighting the way to “got it!”manhood
Sharing smiles and sore arms and the beautiful singular bonding of a catch.
Jim Hart - Author - "Ramblings Of A One-Eyed Garbage Man"
St Ignatius of Loyola – July 31st
The founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame and fortune when a cannon ball shattered
his leg. Because there were no books of romance on hand during his convalescence, Ignatius whiled
away the time reading a life of Christ and lives of the saints. His conscience was deeply touched, and a
long, painful turning to Christ began. Having seen the Mother of God in a vision, he made a pilgrimage
to her shrine at Montserrat (near Barcelona). He remained for almost a year at nearby Manresa, sometimes with the Dominicans, sometimes in a pauper’s hospice, often in a cave in the hills praying. After a
period of great peace of mind, he went through a harrowing trial of scruples. There was no comfort in
anything—prayer, fasting, sacraments, penance. At length, his peace of mind returned. During this
year of conversion that Ignatius began to write down material that later became his greatest work, the
Spiritual Exercises.
He finally achieved his purpose of going to the Holy Land, but could not remain, as he planned, because of the hostility of the Turks. He spent the next 11 years in various European universities, studying with great difficulty, beginning almost as a child. Like many others, his orthodoxy was questioned;
Ignatius was twice jailed for brief periods.
In 1534, at the age of 43, he and six others (one of whom was St. Francis Xavier, December 2) vowed
to live in poverty and chastity and to go to the Holy Land. If this became impossible, they vowed to offer
themselves to the apostolic service of the pope. The latter became the only choice. Four years later
Ignatius made the association permanent. The new Society of Jesus was approved by Paul III, and
Ignatius was elected to serve as the first general. When companions were sent on various missions by
the pope, Ignatius remained in Rome, consolidating the new venture, but still finding time to found
homes for orphans, catechumens and penitents. He founded the Roman College, intended to be the
model of all other colleges of the Society.
Ignatius was a true mystic. He centered his spiritual life on the essential foundations of Christianity—
the Trinity, Christ, the Eucharist. His spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, ad majorem Dei gloriam—“for the greater glory of God.” In his concept, obedience was to be the prominent virtue, to assure the effectiveness and mobility of his men. All activity was to be guided by a true love of the
Church and unconditional obedience to the Holy Father, for which reason all professed members took a
fourth vow to go wherever the pope should send them for the salvation of souls.
Ignatius recommended this prayer to penitents: “Receive, Lord, all my liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. You have given me all that I have, all that I am, and I surrender all to your
divine will, that you dispose of me. Give me only your love and your grace. With this I am rich enough,
and I have no more to ask.”

Dal nostro DIACONO DANTE COLANDREA
Riflessione del mese di luglio
ACCETTA
Siamo convinti che la nostra vita sarà migliore quando
saremo sposati, quando avremo un primo figlio o un
secondo. Poi ci sentiamo frustrati perché i nostri figli
sono troppo piccoli per questo o per quello e
pensiamo che le cose andranno meglio quando
saranno cresciuti.
In seguito siamo esasperati per il loro comportamento
da adolescenti.
Siamo convinti che saremo più felici quando avranno
superato quest'età.
Pensiamo di sentirci meglio quando il nostro partner
avrà risolto i suoi problemi, quando cambieremo
l'auto, quando faremo delle vacanze meravigliose,
quando non saremo più costretti a lavorare.
Ma se non cominciamo una vita piena e felice ora,
quando lo faremo?
Dovremo sempre affrontare delle difficoltà di qualsiasi
genere.
Tanto vale accettare questa realtà e decidere
d'essere felici, qualunque cosa accada.
Alfied Souza diceva:
"Per tanto tempo ho avuto la sensazione che la mia
vita sarebbe presto cominciata, la vera vita! Ma
c'erano sempre ostacoli da superare strada facendo,
qualcosa d'irrisolto, un affare che richiedeva ancora
tempo, dei debiti che non erano stati ancora regolati.
In seguito la vita sarebbe cominciata. Finalmente ho
capito che questi ostacoli: erano la vita."
Questo modo di percepire le cose ci aiuta a capire
che non c'è un mezzo per essere felici ma la felicità è
il mezzo.
Di conseguenza gustate ogni istante della vostra vita
e gustatelo ancora di più quando potete dividerlo con
una persona cara, una persona molto cara per
passare insieme dei momenti preziosi della vita.
Ricordatevi che il tempo non aspetta nessuno.
Allora smettete di aspettare di finire la scuola, di
tornare da scuola, di perdere 5 kg, di avere dei figli, di
vederli andare via di casa.
Smettete di aspettare di cominciare a lavorare, di
andare in pensione, di sposarvi.
Smettete di aspettare il venerdì sera, la domenica
mattina, di avere una nuova macchina o una casa
nuova.
Smettete di aspettare la primavera, l'estate, l'autunno
o l'inverno.
Smettete di aspettare di lasciare questa vita, e
decidete che non c'è momento migliore per essere
felici che il momento presente. Quello donato da Dio.
La felicità e le gioie della vita non sono delle mete, ma
un viaggio. Un pensiero per oggi:
Lavorate, come se non aveste bisogno di soldi.
Amate, come se non doveste soffrire mai.
Ballate, come se nessuno vi guardasse.
Ora rifletti bene e cerca di rispondere a queste
domande:
Nomina le 5 persone più ricche del mondo.
Nomina le 5 ultime vincitrici del concorso Miss
Universo.
Nomina 10 vincitori del premio Nobel.
Nomina i 5 ultimi vincitori del premio Oscar come
migliore attore od attrice.
Come va? Male? Non preoccuparti.
Nessuno di noi ricorda i migliori di ieri.
E gli applausi se ne vanno! E i trofei si impolverano!
I vincitori sì dimenticano!
Adesso rispondi a queste altre:
Nomina 3 professori che ti hanno aiutato nella tua
formazione. Nomina 3 amici che ti hanno aiutato in
tempi difficili. Pensa ad alcune persone che ti hanno
fatto sentire speciale.
Nomina 5 persone con cui passi volentieri il tuo tempo.
Come va? Meglio? Le persone che segnano la
differenza nella tua vita non sono quelle con le migliori
credenziali, con molti soldi, o i migliori premi... sono
quelle che si preoccupano per te, che si prendono cura
di te, quelle che ad ogni modo stanno con te.
Rifletti un momento. La vita è molto corta!
Tu, in che lista sei? Non lo sai?... Permettimi di darti un
aiuto...
Non sei tra i famosi,... però sei tra quelli perché il
Signore ha voluto che tu fossi mio fratello o mia
sorella.

XVII DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Tomado del Libro “La Palabra entre nosotros” :
El reino de Dios tiene un valor incalculable e intracendente, que brinda un gozo inmenso.
Cuanto valor le atribuimos realmente a ese reino de Dios? Para Mateo el problema era entender el valor del Reino, por que si uno lo entendia, reconoceria su valor, comenzaría a desearlo
y a participar de El. Así, esta comprensión es un don de Dios que produce fruto.
Pero no basta con comprender unicamente el valor del reino . Hay que actuar con fe segun el
entendimiento que se tenga. Dirigir todas nuestras acciones hacia la consecucion de ese reino
y hacerlo con amor, por que el amor verdadero se muestra en acciones concretas no solo con
palabras, las llaves que abren las puertas del reino son la Fe y el amor.
“Gracias Señor y Dios nuestro, por que quieres vernos en tu reino . Gracias Jesucristo, por que tu muerte y resurrección nos ha justificado y nos
permites entrar al reino. Gracias Espiritu Santo, por que nos vas santificando para que seamos encontrados dignos del reino.”

have an E-form so you complete this form without writing. Just e-mail it back to us, or print it out and drop it off. All Requests
must be made using our form. E-mail completed form to AnnaMarie Scuteri at [email protected]. This is the ONLY
