3 Respect Life Judy Hyatt We must promote religious liberty for all people. Every man and woman must be free to profess his or her faith, whatever it may be. Why? Because that man and that woman are children of God. May 20, 2013 Authentic religion is a source of peace and not of violence! No one must use the name of God to commit violence! To kill in the name of God is a grave sacrilege. To discriminate in the name of God is inhuman. September 23, 2014 Let us remember a Holy Priest Killed in the Line of Duty Father James E. Coyle Memorial Mass Cathedral of St. Paul, Tuesday August 11, :10 P.M. Mass Followed by a Reception rd Avenue North Birmingham, Alabama or "Father Coyle was a martyr to duty" Rt. Rev. Edward Allen, Bishop of Mobile August 12, 1921 Re-printed from: One Voice Bicentennial Special July 2, 1976 (PART 2) Ground was broken for the new structure on June 18, Participating with Bishop Vath and Father Murphy were Mayor Lavelle Jackson, City Councilwoman, Sue Sorter, members of the Building Committee, Harold Katz, Roland Wildhagen, and E.H. Wesseley, also Lelon Rogers, Contractor, Rogers and Melton. The liturgical altar of sacrifice was erected on a raised sanctuary floor. Behind the altar is a large stained glass window depicting the Risen Christ, as a sign of hope, with miniature sumbols of the Sacraments adding further to the spiritual meaning. On the walls at each side of the altar are Italian hand carved wood statues of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph. The Stations of the Cross are of sculptured relief on wood panels. An Italian hand carved wood crucifix adds to the décor of the vestibule. Rev. Paul Donnelly succeeded Father Murphy as pastor on June 6, There were 125 Catholic families in the parish at this time. Catechism classes for children are held in the parish hall each ; Confraternity of Christian Doctrine classes held in privates homes on week days. s formerly served the people of Albertville, Arab, Boaz, Scottsboro and Fort Payne, as well as in the Guntersville area. Rev. Bernard W. Mulcahy was appointed pastor on May 14, Vincentians Meditations: Vincent de Paul, a great man of action was also a contemplative, caught up in God and consumed by his love. His contemplation of God s love overflowed into practical love for the poor. He encourages his followers: Let us all give ourselves completely to the practice of prayer, since it is by it that all good things come to us. If we persevere, it is thanks to prayer. If we succeed in our employments, it is thanks to prayer. If we do not fall into sin, it is thanks to prayer. If we remain in charity and if we are saved, all that happens is thanks to God and thanks to prayer. Just as God refuses nothing to prayer, so also He grants almost nothing without prayer. (Maloney, He Hears the Cry of the Poor, p. 98) CHRIST S PRESENCE IN THE WORLD There s a bit of a missing link in the first two sentences of today s Gospel from Mark. In the first, the apostles return from having been sent out on mission two by two ( one who is sent is the meaning of apostle ). Their instructions were to preach repentance, drive out demons, and heal the sick in Jesus name. In the second sentence, Jesus tells them to come away with him and rest a while. It would be nice for us to imagine that, between those two sentences, a look of amazed gratitude and pleasure crossed the face of Jesus as he hears of the kingdom proclaimed in his name, and how they didn t have to shake the dust off their feet anywhere. They deserved a rest! It might not be bad for us, when we gather together with Jesus as the apostles do today, to do this kind of debriefing, allowing the Lord to hear what we ve sought to do in his name, our successes, our failures, our need to get away with him for a while to be fortified for further work in God s name. For we, the baptized, are not only the flock of Jesus Christ; through water and the power of the Spirit we have also become the Body of Christ, the presence of the Shepherd for the life of the world.

4 Decimosexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario LA PRESENCIA DE CRISTO EN EL MUNDO Hay una cierta conexión que falta entre las dos primeras oraciones del Evangelio de hoy. En la primera los apóstoles regresan de la misión a la que habían sido enviados de dos en dos ( apóstol en griego significa enviado ). Habían sido enviados a predicar la conversión, a expulsar a los demonios, y a sanar a los enfermos en el nombre de Jesús. En la segunda oración, Jesús les dice que se vengan con él a un lugar solitario para descansar un poco. Nos gustaría pensar que, entre esas dos oraciones, una expresión de placer y gratitud cruzó el rostro de Jesús al oír como el Reino ha sido proclamado en su nombre, y como no tuvieron que sacudirse el polvo de los pies en ninguna parte. Bien se merecían un descanso! A nosotros tampoco nos vendría mal, cuando nos juntamos alrededor de Jesús como los apóstoles en el Evangelio de hoy, que nos tomáramos un descanso, para que el Señor pueda escuchar lo que hemos hecho en su nombre nuestros éxitos, nuestras decepciones, nuestra necesidad de escaparnos un rato con él para que nos fortalezca para seguir trabajando en el nombre de Dios. Ya que nosotros los bautizados no somos sólo el rebaño de Cristo; por el agua y el Espíritu hemos sido transformados en el Cuerpo mismo de Cristo, la presencia del pastor para dar vida al mundo.

Había también tantas otras variables que considerar,... Sentimos que no teníamos control, pero Dios nos recordó otra vez que Él siempre está en control y que podíamos confiar en Él. Relato de una adopción de amor, Programa Respetemos la Vida , USCCB LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El evangelista Mateo (14:21) recuenta que cuando Jesús multiplicó los panes, dio de comer a unos cinco mil hombres, sin contar las mujeres y los niños. Este pequeño detalle lo tiene sólo él. Mateo escribió su Evangelio para los cristianos de origen judío, por lo cual contiene muchos detalles que solamente reconocen aquellas personas de origen judío. Por ejemplo, el detalle acerca del número y la clasificación de personas que comieron del pan multiplicado. En aquella época, la religión judía sólo permitía la participación del varón. Las Mujeres y los niños no contaban para el culto, ni en la toma de decisiones en la casa. Por lo tanto, al subrayar la presencia de las mujeres y los niños, Mateo indica que en la Iglesia o comunidad cristiana, las mujeres y los niños participan activamente. También ellos comen y reciben de la bondad de Jesús. Esto engrandece la maravilla del milagro, porque el número de personas que comieron se multiplica. Pero más importante aún, subraya la apertura de la comunidad nueva, instaurada por Jesús, la Iglesia, donde ni mujeres ni niños deben ser relegados. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S.
