3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 I am happy to be back in the parish after having a wonderful time with my family and friends, the most that I enjoyed on vacation was the company of my little nephews and nieces, being able to play and pray with them. August will be my last month of duty as Pastor of SSPP. On September 1, Fr. Javier Ibarra will take the responsibility of pastoring the parish. Needless to say we need to pray and support our new pastor. What encouraging is this Sunday s gospel as we see the disciples struggling to survive in a moment of turmoil! In the hour of the disciples need, Jesus came to them. When the wind was contrary and life was a struggle, Jesus was there to help. In life the wind is often contrary. There are times when we are up against it and life is a desperate struggle with ourselves, with our temptations, with our sorrows and decisions. At such a time no one needs to struggle alone, for the Lord comes to us across the storms of life with hand stretched out to save, and with his calm clear voice telling us take heart and have no fear, I am with you. Pope Francis comments on this gospel is very encouraging too, he says: This story is a beautiful icon of the faith of the Apostle Peter. In the voice of Jesus who tells him: Come!, he recognizes the echo of the first encounter on the shore of that very lake, and right away, once again, he leaves the boat and goes toward the Teacher. And he walks on the waters! The faithful and ready response to the Lord s call always enables one to achieve extraordinary things. But Jesus himself told us that we are capable of performing miracles with our faith, faith in Him, faith in His word, faith in His voice. Peter however begins to sink the moment he looks away from Jesus and he allows himself to be overwhelmed by the hardships around him. But the Lord is always there, and when Peter calls him, Jesus saves him from danger. Peter s character, with his passion and his weaknesses, can describe our faith: ever fragile and impoverished, anxious yet victorious, Christian faith walks to meet the Risen Lord, amid the world s storms and dangers. the key of happiness and perseverance in our faith is to follow the Lord Jesus and His message. If we begin to negotiate with the world, we are keeping away from the presence of the Lord and the result is that we may sink in ourselves, in our own selfish desires that will lead us to desperation and sadness. Lord I will follow you wherever you go, that has to be our resolution. He will lead us to the fulfilment of our vocation. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd: Please consider bringing your child for an earthly Christian formation. The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children. It is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an "atrium," a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials they use to help them absorb the most essential proclamations of the Christian faith. In an atrium the child can ponder a biblical passage or a prayer from the liturgy by taking the material for that text and working with it - placing wood figures of sheep in a sheepfold of the Good Shepherd, setting sculpted apostles around a Last Supper table, or preparing a small altar with the furnishings used for the Eucharist. Seminarians: the seminarians are back just for a day. They will be leaving for their annual camping trip in Colorado from the 13 to the 26 of August. Pray for them. YÜA `tü tçé Our Lady of Fatima Devotion Sunday August 13 - Celebration of Our Lady of Fatima 6:30 pm Rosary 6:50 pm Reflection on our Lady followed by outdoor procession Pray very much, and make sacrifices for sinners, for many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and sacrifice for them.

4 AUGUST 13, Sick Call Visiting If you know of any parishioner of SSPP who is sick in the hospital or nursing home, that need to be anointed or receive the sacrament of confession, or see a priest, please do not hesitate to call the parish office at Any of the priests will be happy to go to visit. Thanks Fitzgerald Building With the move of Loyola to Good Counsel Campus we are looking for ideas from the parish for use of the Fitzgerald building. Please contact Mark Frederick at or at ssppadmin@hickorytech.net with your ideas. Thank you for your support. The Vietnamese Catholic Community of Mankato will celebrate the Assumption of The Blessed Virgin Mary with a Mass in Vietnamese. All are invited. Where: St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church 105 th N. 5 St., Mankato, MN When: Saturday, August 26, 2017 Time: 10:30 am Procession around the Church 10:50 am Mass Starts PHÚC ÂM: Mt 14, "Xin truyền cho con đi trên mặt nước mà đến cùng Thầy". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Matthêu. Khi dân chúng đã ăn no, lập tức Chúa Giêsu giục môn đệ trở xuống thuyền mà qua bờ bên kia trước, trong lúc Người giải tán dân chúng. Giải tán họ xong, Người lên núi cầu nguyện một mình. Đến chiều, Người vẫn ở đó một mình. Còn thuyền thì đã ra giữa biển, bị sóng đánh chập chờn vì ngược gió. Canh tư đêm tối, Người đi trên mặt biển mà đến với các ông. Thấy Người đi trên mặt biển, các ông hoảng hồn mà nói rằng: "Ma kìa!", và các ông sợ hãi kêu la lớn tiếng. Lập tức, Chúa Giêsu nói với các ông rằng: "Hãy yên tâm. Thầy đây, đừng sợ!" Phêrô thưa lại rằng: "Lạy Thầy, nếu quả là Thầy, thì xin truyền cho con đi trên mặt nước mà đến cùng Thầy". Chúa phán: "Hãy đến!" Phêrô xuống khỏi thuyền, bước đi trên mặt nước mà đến cùng Chúa Giêsu. Khi thấy gió mạnh, ông sợ hãi và sắp chìm xuống nên la lên rằng: "Lạy Thầy, xin cứu con!" Lập tức, Chúa Giêsu giơ tay nắm lấy ông mà nói: "Người hèn tin, tại sao mà nghi ngờ?" Khi cả hai đã lên thuyền thì gió liền yên lặng. Những người ở trong thuyền đến lạy Người mà rằng: "Thật, Thầy là Con Thiên Chúa". Đó là lời Chúa.

7 XIX DOMINGO TIEMPO ORDINARIO 13 DE AGOSTO 2017 Peregrinación Parroquial al Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe La Crosse, WI Viernes 8 de Septiembre 2017 desde 7:30 am - 7:00 pm NADA QUE TEMER A un rabino le preguntaron por qué Dios envía pruebas y tribulaciones a los humanos. Porque Dios siente la ausencia de su pueblo, fue la respuesta. Hay ecos de esta sabiduría en el Evangelio de hoy, cuando Jesús hace que sus discípulos se suban a la barca sin él y se va por su cuenta mientras ellos se aventuran en aguas turbulentas. Por cierto, ni judíos ni cristianos creen que el Todopoderoso hace este tipo de jugadas antojadizas con ellos, pero tiene algo de verdad la afirmación de que no acudimos a Dios pidiendo que nos salve sino cuando estamos en un apuro. Hoy el papel de Pedro, como aparece en todo el Nuevo Testamento, es ser un signo o representación de cada miembro de la Iglesia y de toda la Iglesia. Nuestra historia es el relato que se narra hoy sobre la fe de Pedro. Lo que puede aumentar nuestra fe es que aunque Cristo nos llama a encarar con valentía las tormentas de la vida, si las atravesamos con los ojos de la fe fijos en él, nada hemos de temer. Aunque demos un traspié o nos hundamos, basta gritar Señor, sálvame! para conocer la firmeza con la que Dios nos toma de la mano. Entonces, protegidos dentro de los muros de la fe, las tormentas que nos azoten no nos vencerán. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
