STEWARDSHIP CORNER Sharing Time, Talent and Treasure

Stewardship is not optional! “None of us lives as his own master and none of us dies as his own master,” says St. Paul. “While we live, we are responsible to the Lord, and when we die, we die as His servants.” See Romans 14:7-9 (Our Sunday Visitor, ibid., page 13).

Actual Collection = $8,810 Mail-In Donations $4,767 Total Collection = $12,947 Attendance = 645

CMA Numbers for 2020 Goal = $99,400 Pledges = $45,170 Payments = $41,568 Donors = 187 Average = $242

Thank you to all the families who already have made a sacrificial gift. Please consider a yearly offering.


Reception of Holy Communion at Mass

For the last three and a half months, all parishioners have been invited to receive the Eucharist after the priest’s final blessing, as a way of keeping the congregation safer and more separate in this time of the pandemic. As of this weekend (September 13), we will now return to the traditional way of receiving; that is, right after the priest, and before the final prayer and blessing. We will also return to an entrance procession as well as a recessional at the end of the celebration. So please try to arrive before the Mass begins, and never leave until the priest exits. Thank you for continuing to wear a mask in Church, purifying your hands, and remaining socially distant in the pews and on

line for Communion! We will continue to record for internet viewing at home all three Masses in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Also realize that our Bishop has extended the dispensation for all Catholics from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, so that your Spiritual Communion at home is still valid. May God Bless our faithful parish and people of Corpus Christi!

Religious Education Update

Good luck to all of our families as we begin a new school year, whether on site, virtual, or homeschooling. The new school year is a blessing and brings with it a strong sense of hope and optimism. I am very happy to announce that the school building will re-open for religious education classes this month with the necessary modifications. Wearing masks, sanitizing and distancing are part of our regular routine. The children will attend class every other week to help maintain spacing and small groups in our full sized classrooms. The desks have been spaced apart and will also serve as the dividers between children. The classrooms are only used by the Religious Education Program. The desks, chairs, and surfaces will be sanitized by our maintenance staff. “Twenty Minutes with the Director’, special events, and a condensed syllabi will help supplement our classes. Confirmation candidates in grades 6, 7, 8 will work on their Confirmation workbooks on their “off” weeks. At this early start of the year, our veteran families and families with first graders or those who have just moved into the parish are given priority for placement first. Those on a waiting list will be processed next. If you are comfortable in doing so, we can use two catechists for on site instruction in grades 5 and 6. Please contact me at [email protected] or 516-294-0631. The first session of classes will begin on Tuesday, September 15th, a week earlier than usual, and we will combine our classes during the last three sessions of the year, for review and assessments, if it is safe to do so. As the saying goes, “the longest journey begins with the first step”. Godspeed as we go forward. Prayerfully,

Susan M. Anaischik Susan M. Anasichik Dirctor of Religious Education


Corpus Christi School Then and Now Our Corpus Christi School has come a long way since its dedication in 1953, to what it now looks like today, sixty-seven years later! The new additions in the last few years include:

All the windows; the whole roof; the parking lot for 25 vehicles; wrap around driveway with entrance and exit; new signs and landscaping; new sidewalks and street lights; brand new gym floor; improved bathrooms; hand rails at both doorways; all new fencing surrounding the property; security lighting and pending cameras. Next year we will be installing a new heating system and boiler. God bless all of our children and young people of Corpus Christi!

Starting on Thursday, 1st of October, Corpus Christi Church will open its “Mass Intention” book for the New Year 2021. If you wish to have Masses offered for your deceased loved ones, particularly on those special dates such as anniversaries and birthdays, please bring your requests to the Parish Office beginning on October 1st. We will try to accommodate all of your intentions. The suggested Mass offering is $20. It would be very helpful if you could bring a written list of names and dates with you. The weekday Mass schedule will be different starting January 1, 2021. There will be a Mass at 7:30am and one at 12pm. On special National Holidays we will have only one Mass at 9am.

Thanks be to God for these wonderful adults (and teenagers too) who had been preparing for the Sacrament of Initiation (Baptism, Communion and Confirmation). The pandemic stopped us from celebrating their spiritual growth in the Spring. But August 29/30 saw them receiving the Grace of Jesus Christ after patiently awaiting!

Español XXIV DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO

ORDINARIO

EVANGELIO DE SAN MATEO 18, 21-35 En aquel tempo, Pedro se acercó a Jesús y le preguntó: “Si mi Hermano me ofende, cuántas veces tengo que perdonarlo? Hasta siete veces”? Jesús le contestó: “No sólo hasta siete, sino hasta setente veces siete. Entonces Jesús les dijo: El Reino de los cielos es semejante a un rey que quiso ajustar cuentas con sus servidores. El primero que le presentaron le debía muchos millones. Como no tenía con qué pagar, el señor mandó que lo vendieran a él, a su mujer, a sus hijos y todas sus posesiones para saldar la deuda. El servidor, arrojándose a sus pies, le suplicaba, diciendo: Ten paciencia conmigo y te lo pagaré todo. El rey tuvo lástima de aquel servidor, lo soltó y hasta le perdonó la deuda. Pero, apenas había salido aquel servidor se encontró con uno de sus compañeros, que le debía poco dinero. Entonces lo agarró por el cuello y casi lo estrangulaba, mientras le decía: Págame lo que me debes. El compañero se le arrodilló y le rogaba: Tem paciência conmigo y te lo pagaré todo. Pero el otro no quiso escucharlo, sino que fue y lo metió en la cárcel hasta que le pagara la deuda. Al ver lo ocorrido, sus compañeros se llenaron de indignación y fueron a contar al rey lo sucedido Entonces el señor lo llamó y le dijo: Siervo malvado. Te perdoné toda aquella deuda porque me lo suplicaste. No debías tú también haber tenido compasión de tu compañero como yo tuve compasión de ti? Y el señor, encolerizado, lo entregó a los verdugos para que no lo soltaran hasta que pagara lo que debia. Pues lo mismo hará mi Padre celestial con ustedes, si cada cual no perdona de corazón a su Hermano.

Grande es la importania del perdon para toda vida en comunidad, sea famíliar, eclesial o social. Preludio del perdón era la corrección fraterna, a la que nos llamaba Jesús el domingo passado. San Mateo en el capítulo 18 de su evangelio habla del perdón de las ofensas. A Pedro le parecia que había que poner un límite al perdón, porque el que ofende podía abusar y dificilmente se corregiría, por lo que le plantea la cuestión en estos términos: “Señor, si mi hermano me ofende, cuántas veces tengo que perdonarlo? Hasta siete veces”? Y la respuesta de Jesús: “No te digo hasta siete veces, sino hasta setenta veces siete. Es decir, siempre. Dios es un Dios que siempre nos perdona si nosotros perdonamos. Y esto quiso dejarlo bien claro en la oración del Padre Nuestro: Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. En la parábola de Jesús, un señor que perdona a un empleado que no quiere perdonar a su compañero. Jesús quiere acentur el contraste: el Señor le perdona una deuda muy grande, mientras que el perdonado no quiere perdonar a su compañero un cantidad insignificante.

AVISO IMPORTANTE El domingo 13 de septiembre, la missa en español será grabada a las 5 de la tarde y solamente estará disponible en el YouTube a partir de las 9 de la noche. Vá a ser así todos los domingos. Ustedes poderán mirar la misa a partir de las 9 de la noche.

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Corpus Christi Church September 6, 2020

Português XXIV DOMINGO DO TEMPO

COMUM

EVANGELHO DE MATEUS 18, 21-35 Naquele tempo, Pedro aproximou-se de Jesus e perguntou-lhe: “Se meu irmão me ofender, quantas vezes deverei perdoar-lhe? Até sete vezes”? Jesus respondeu: “Não te digo até sete vezes, mas até setenta vezes sete. Na verdade, o reino de Deus pode comparar-se a um rei que quis ajustar contas com os seus servos. Logo de começo, apresentaram-lhe um homem que devia dez mil talentos. Não tendo com o que pagar, o senhor mandou que fosse vendido, com a mulher, os filhos e tudo quanto possuía, para assim pagar a dívida. Então o servo prostrou-se a seus pés, dizendo: Senhor, concede-me um prazo e tudo te pagarei. Cheio de compaixão, o senhor daquele servo deu-lhe a liberdade e perdoou-lhe a dívida. Ao sair, o servo encontrou um dos seus companheiros que lhe devia cem denários. Segurando-o, começou a apertar-lhe o pescoço, dizendo: Paga o que me deves. Então o companheiro caiu a seus pés e suplicou-lhe dizendo: Concede-me um prazo e pagar-te-ei . Ele, porém, não consentiu e mandou-o prender, até que pagasse tudo quanto devia. Testemunhas desta cena, os seus companheiros ficaram muito tristes e foram contar ao senhor tudo o que havia sucedido. Então, o senhor mandou-o chamar e disse: Servo mau, perdoei-te tudo o que me devias, porque mo pediste. Não devias, também tu, compadecer-te do teu companheiro, como eu tive compaixão de ti? E o senhor, indignado, entregou-o aos verdugos, até que pagasse tudo o que lhe devia. Assim procederá convosco meu Pai celeste, se cada um de vós não perdoar a seu irmão de todo o coração”.

O perdão das ofensas é um dos pontos mais acentuados pelos Evangelhos e pelas Cartas dos Apóstolos. É condição fundamental para se entrar e permanecer no Reino. A correção fraterna e o perdão fazem parte das exigências do Reino dos Céus. Uma das últimas palavras de Jesus foi de perdão: Pai, perdoai-lhes. E o perdão entrou destacado no modelo de oração que Jesus deixou à comunidade: o Pai-Nosso. No final do Evangelho Jesus diz o modo de perdoar: perdoar de coração. No início dissera a quantidade de vezes: sempre. O nosso Pai Celestial comportar-se-á conosco da mesma maneira que nós nos comportamos com os demais. Para explicar melhor o seu pensamento, Jesus conta uma parábola.

Na primeira leitura deste domingo, do Livro de Ben-Sirá, nos ensina uma grande verdade: Lembra-te do teu fim e deixa de ter ódio. Quem se sente vítima de uma injustiça é levado a agredir os responsáveis. Daqui derivam os ajustes de contas, a ira, os rancores, o ódio. No Livro do Levítico 19, 18, ordena-se: não te vingarás nem guardarás rancor aos filhos do teu povo, mas amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. É o ponto mais alto a que chegaram os sábios de Israel.
