Sacred Heart Parish Family July 26, 2015 Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time The Memorare REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to Thy protection, implored Thy help, or sought Thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to Thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to Thee do I come; before Thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

A note from Fr. Wayne . . . THE HOLY MASS The most important thing that we do as a parish family is the celebration of Holy Mass. It is in this most holy sacrament that Jesus comes to us in an extraordinary way. The Eucharistic Host that we receive is truly the Real Presence of Jesus; that is, it is the actual Body and Blood of Christ. For us, the altar is the central and the focal point of the celebration of the Holy Mass. The Church teaches us through the Catechism: Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood Please join us on Tuesday, July 28 at 6:45 p.m. in the Rectory Chapel as we pray the Chaplet of the Most Precious Blood and the Litany of the Most Precious Blood. This will be a grace-filled time of prayer and reflection on the spilling of Our Lord’s Blood for our redemption. “The altar, around which the Church is gathered in the celebration of the Eucharist, represents the two aspects of the same mystery: the altar of the sacrifice and the table of the Lord. This is all the more so since the Christian altar is the symbol of Christ himself, present in the midst of the assembly of his faithful, both as the victim offered for our reconciliation and as food from heaven who is giving himself to us. “For what is the altar of Christ if not the image of the Body of Christ?” asks St. Ambrose. He says elsewhere, “The altar represents the body [of Christ] and the Body of Christ is on the altar.” The liturgy expresses this unity of sacrifice and communion in many prayers.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1383) In keeping with the teachings of the Church, we will at the beginning of each Holy Mass place an image of the Blessed Mother and the Infant Child in front of the Tabernacle (where the Sacred Hosts are always reserved). The image on the cover of the bulletin will be that which is placed directly in front of the Tabernacle only at the beginning of Holy Mass. After the Holy Mass, the image will be removed so as to allow people the opportunity to pray before the Lord present there.

Please consider joining us for a fun and informative time. 3 303 Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128 XVII SUNDAY IN ORDIANRY TIME JULY 26, 2015 XVII TEMPO ORDINARIO Summer is just about here! It is important to examine our “dress code” for Holy Mass. There is a time and place for just about everything. How we dress for Church fits into this category. How we dress should be guided by the spirit of respect and modesty we have for ourselves, Church, and the people around us. The Parish Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a House of Worship and Prayer; it is the House of God where we gather as God's people. It is "The Temple of God" where we celebrate the Sacred Mysteries of our Faith. Does it matter what we wear when we enter Church to participate in Religious services? The answer is yes! Absolutely!! Despite changing cultures, some things do not and should not change. RESPECT is the key word. We can be casual and comfortable and still be respectful and modest in our attire. In recent years, we have become lax and careless in this area. The Church of God is not a beach, a backyard, a mall, a sporting event, or a park. Styles change, but RESPECT for God's House, for yourself, and for others, does not. We have forgotten that how we look and dress for different occasions makes a statement about who we are and what values guide our personal lives. Parents need to teach their sons and daughters what is modest, appropriate, and respectful for church, as well as, many social events. But parents must first look at the example they give by the way they dress. Church is no place for tee-shirts with inappropriate or vulgar words and expressions, cut offs, (male or female); halter tops; tank tops, crop tops. At times it is embarrassing to see how some enter the House of God. Does it matter? YES!!!! It is about RESPECT for God, for self and for others!! Just something to think about in the weeks ahead. What we believe . . . Some Catholic Preliminaries to the Presidential Campaign by Fr. C.J. McCloskey Political differences on these sorts of questions do not fall into the category of "prudential judgments," such as what is the proper level of military funding or which is the fairest tax system. The more basic issues are either/or questions that derive directly from the moral law. Made in the Image of God But we should always remember that Christ's dying and rising offers us new life in the Spirit, whose saving grace delivers us from sin and heals sin's damage within us. Thus we speak of the value, dignity, and goal of human life, even with its imperfections and struggles. Human life, as a profound unity of physical and spiritual dimensions, is sacred. It is distinct from all other forms of life, since it alone is imprinted with the very image of its Creator. - continued next week Interested in learning about the priesthood?

IL PANE AI POVERI Il mangiare è una funzione così essenziale nella vita umana che quasi tutte le religioni ne fanno un simbolo e l'accompagnano con un rito liturgico. Il cristianesimo propone la salvezza sotto forma di un banchetto, che è simbolo ed anticipazione del banchetto eterno. Gli occhi di tutti a te sono rivolti in attesa e tu dai loro il cibo a tempo opportuno. Tu apri la tua mano e sazi il desiderio di ogni vivente. Giusto è il Signore in tutte le sue vie e buono in tutte le sue opere. Il Signore è vicino a chiunque lo invoca, a quanti lo invocano con sincerità. L’INGRESSO Rit: Dov’è carità e amore, qui c’è Dio. Ci ha riuniti tutti insieme Cristo amore; Godiamo esutanti nel Signore! Temiamo e amiamo il Dio vivente, e amiamoci tra noi con cuore sincero. Rit. SECONDA LETTURA Seconda Lettura Dalla lettera di san Paolo apostolo agli Efesini Noi formiamo, qui riuniti, un solo corpo; evitiamo di dividerci tra noi; via le lotte maligne, via le liti e regni in mezzo a noi Cristo Dio. Rit. Fratelli, io, prigioniero a motivo del Signore, vi esorto: comportatevi in maniera degna della chiamata che avete ricevuto, con ogni umiltà, dolcezza e magnanimità, sopportandovi a vicenda nell’amore, avendo a cuore di conservare l’unità dello spirito per mezzo del vincolo della pace. Un solo corpo e un solo spirito, come una sola è la speranza alla quale siete stati chiamati, quella della vostra vocazione; un solo Signore, una sola fede, un solo battesimo. Un solo Dio e Padre di tutti, che è al di sopra di tutti, opera per mezzo di tutti ed è presente in tutti. GLORIA Gloria a Dio nell'alto dei cieli e pace in terra agli uomini di buona volontà. Noi ti lodiamo, ti benediciamo, ti adoriamo, ti glorifichiamo, ti rendiamo grazie per la tua gloria immensa, Signore Dio, Re del cielo, Dio Padre onnipotente. Signore, Figlio unigenito, Gesù Cristo, Signore Dio, Agnello di Dio, Figlio del Padre; tu che togli i peccati del mondo, abbi pietà di noi; tu che togli i peccati del mondo, accogli la nostra supplica; tu che siedi alla destra del Padre, abbi pietà di noi. Perché tu solo il Santo, tu solo il Signore, tu solo l'Altissimo Gesù Cristo, con lo Spirito Santo nella gloria di Dio Padre. Amen. Verbum Domini Deo Gratias Alleluia, alleluia. Un grande profeta è sorto tra noi, e Dio ha visitato il suo popolo. Alleluia. Alleluia PRIMA LETTURA Dal secondo libro dei Re Vangelo In quei giorni, da Baal Salisà venne un uomo, che portò pane di primizie all’uomo di Dio: venti pani d’orzo e grano novello che aveva nella bisaccia. Eliseo disse: «Dallo da mangiare alla gente». Ma il suo servitore disse: «Come posso mettere questo davanti a cento persone?». Egli replicò: «Dallo da mangiare alla gente. Poiché così dice il Signore: “Ne mangeranno e ne faranno avanzare”». Lo pose davanti a quelli, che mangiarono e ne fecero avanzare, secondo la parola del Signore. Il Signore con tutti voi E con il tuo spirito Dal vangelo secondo Giovanni Gloria a Te, O Signore Verbum Domini In quel tempo, Gesù passò all’altra riva del mare di Galilea, cioè di Tiberìade, e lo seguiva una grande folla, perché vedeva i segni che compiva sugli infermi. Gesù salì sul monte e là si pose a sedere con i suoi discepoli. Era vicina la Pasqua, la festa dei Giudei. Allora Gesù, alzàti gli occhi, vide che una grande folla veniva da lui e disse a Filippo: «Dove potremo comprare il pane perché costoro abbiano da mangiare?». Diceva così per metterlo alla prova; egli infatti sapeva quello che stava per compiere. Gli rispose Filippo: «Duecento denari di pane non sono sufficienti neppure perché ognuno possa riceverne un pezzo». Gli disse allora uno dei suoi discepoli, Andrea, fratello di Simon Pietro: «C’è qui un ragazzo che ha cinque pani d’orzo e due pesci; Deo Gratias SALMO RESPONSORIALE Apri la tua mano, Signore, e sazia ogni vivente. Ti lodino, Signore, tutte le tue opere e ti benedicano i tuoi fedeli. Dicano la gloria del tuo regno e parlino della tua potenza. Sacred Heart Parish Family 5 303 Paris Street, East Boston, MA 02128 XVII SUNDAY IN ORDIANRY TIME JULY 26, 2015 ma che cos’è questo per tanta gente?». Rispose Gesù: «Fateli sedere». C’era molta erba in quel luogo. Si misero dunque a sedere ed erano circa cinquemila uomini. Allora Gesù prese i pani e, dopo aver reso grazie, li diede a quelli che erano seduti, e lo stesso fece dei pesci, quanto ne volevano. E quando furono saziati, disse ai suoi discepoli: «Raccogliete i pezzi avanzati, perché nulla vada perduto». Li raccolsero e riempirono dodici canestri con i pezzi dei cinque pani d’orzo, avanzati a coloro che avevano mangiato. Allora la gente, visto il segno che egli aveva compiuto, diceva: «Questi è davvero il profeta, colui che viene nel mondo!». Ma Gesù, sapendo che venivano a prenderlo per farlo re, si ritirò di nuovo sul monte, lui da solo. Verbum Domini Mistero della fede Tu ci hai redenti con la tua croce e la tua risurrezione: salvaci, o Salvatore del mondo. COMUNIONE È giunta l’ora, Padre, per me. Ai miei amici ho detto che questa è la vita; conscere Te e il Figlio Tuo, Cristo Gesù. Erano Tuoi, li hai dati a me; ed ora sanno che torno a Te. Hanno creduto: conservali Tu nel Tuo amore, nell’unità. Tu mi hai mandato ai figli Tuoi, la Tua parola è verità. E il loro cuore sia pieno di gioia; la gioia vera viene da Te. Laus Tibi, Christe Io sono in loro e Tu in me; che siam perfetti nell’unità, e il mondo creda che Tu mi hai mandato, li hai amati come ami me. IL CREDO DEGLI APOSTOLI Credo in Dio, Padre onnipotente, Creatore del cielo e della terra. E in Gesù Cristo, Suo Figlio unigenito, Signore nostro; il quale fu concepito di Spirito Santo, nato dalla vergine Maria; soffrì sotto Ponzio Pilato, fu crocifisso, morì e fu sepolto; discese agli inferi; il terzo giorno risuscitò dai morti; ascese al cielo; siede alla destra di Dio Padre onnipotente; da dove verrà per giudicare i vivi ed i morti. Io credo nello Spirito Santo; la santa Chiesa universale; la comunione dei santi; la remissione dei peccati; la risurrezione della carne; la vita eterna. Amen. FINALE Rit: Dov’è carità e amore, qui c’è Dio. Chi non ama resta sempre nella notte e dall’ombra della morte non risorge; ma se noi camminiamo nell’amore, noi saremo veri figli della luce. Rit . L’Angelus V. L’Angelo del Signore portò l’annunzio a Maria; R. Ed ella concepì per opera dello Spirito Santo. V. Eccomi, sono la serva del Signore. R. Si compia in me la tua parola. V. E il Verbo si fece carne. R. E venne ad abitare in mezzo a noi. OFFERTORIO Rit: Signore, sei tu il mio pastor, V. Prega per noi, santa Madre di Dio. R. Perché siamo fatti degni delle promesse di Cristo. Nulla mi può mancar nel tuoi pascoli. Tra l’erbe verdeggianti mi guidi a riposar, all’acque tue tranquille mi fai tu dissetar. Rit. Preghiamo: Infondi nel nostro spirito la Tua grazia, o Padre: Tu che all’annuncio dell’Angelo ci hai rivelato l’Incarnazione del Tuo Figlio, per la Sua Passione e la Sua Croce guidaci alla gloria della Risurrezione. Per Cristo nostro Signore. Amen. Se in valle tutta oscura io camminar dovrò, vicino a Te, Signore, più nulla temerò. Rit. Per me hai preparato il pane tuo immortal, il calice m’hai colmo di vino celestial. Rit. Buona Domenica E Buon Pranzo a Tutti Voi. La luce e la tua grazia mi guideranno ognor, da Te m’introdurranno per sempre, o mio Signor. Rit.
