STEWARDSHIP CORNER Sharing Time, Talent and Treasure

Elijah recognized the voice of God not in the strong and heavy wind, not in the earthquake, and not in the fire, but in a tiny whispering sound. May we find enough quiet in our clamorous world to hear His voice and discern what He is calling us to do and be (Our Sunday Visitor, ibid., page 12).

July 29, 2020

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Our Catholic schools and the tuition-paying families that support them are facing enormous challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One month ago I shared with you the sad news that due in part to the pandemic, three of our elementary schools would close and not reopen in September. Our Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is expecting and planning for what they forecast to be a dramatic increase in requests for tuition assistance due to the effects of the pandemic. Many of our elected officials recognize that this pandemic is affecting all schools, including Catholic and other non-government schools. And, now the United States Congress is working on another stimulus bill to provide relief from the COVID-19 pandemic for critical parts of the economy and society, including schools. Catholic and other religious and independent schools must be included in this relief package! On behalf of the thousands of our Catholic school parents and students, I am urging you to contact our U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and your local Congressional Representative to insist that Catholic and other religious and independent schools receive their fair share of funds to safely reopen. These funds are needed so that our struggling tuition-paying families can keep their children enrolled in our Catholic schools. Time is of the essence, so please I urge you to add your voice today by sending your message to your legislators. An easy way to act is by visiting the New York State Catholic Conference Website. There, you can send email messages to your U.S. Senate representatives and your U.S. Representative with only a few mouse clicks. Visit https://www.nyscatholic.org/nys-catholic-conference-action-center/ You can also email Senator Schumer by visiting: https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/email-chuck Senator Gillibrand can be emailed by visiting: https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/email-me. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. You and your family are remembered in my daily prayers.

Sincerely in Christ,

Most Reverend John O. Barres Bishop of Rockville Centre

The19thWeekofOrdinaryTime

On the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Elijah finds God not in the thunder and driving wind, but in a gentle breeze. Peter's fear gets the best of him, when Jesus calls him out of his boat in a stormy sea. Peter takes his eyes off of Jesus and would have perished without Jesus' rescuing him. Monday is the Feast of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr. Tuesday is the Memorial of Saint Clare. Friday is the Memorial of Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe, priest and martyr. Saturday is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with its own special readings.

Español DECIMONOVENO DOMINGO

EVANGELIO DE SAN MATEO 14, 22-33 En aquel tempo, imediatamente después de la multiplicación de los panes, Jesus hizo que sus discípulos subieran a la barca y se dirigieran a la otra orilla, mientras él despedia a la gente. Después de despedirla, subió al monte a solas para orar. Leegada la noche, estaba él solo allí. Entretanto, la barca iba ya muy lejos de la costa y las olas la sacudían, porque el viento era contrario. A la madrugada, Jesús fue hacia ellos, caminhando sobre el agua. Los discípulos, al verlo andar sobre el agua, se espantaron y decían: Es un fantasma! Y daban gritos de terror. Pero Jesús les dijo enseguida: Tranquilícense y no teman. Soy yo. Entonces le dijo Pedro: Señor, si eres tú, mándame ir a ti caminhando sobre el agua. Jesús le contestó. Ven. Pedro bajo de la barca y comenzó a caminhar sobre el agua hacia Jesús; pero al sentir la fuerza del viento, le entró miedo, omenzó a hundirse y grito: Sálvame, Señor! Inmediatamente Jesús le tendió la mano, lo sostuvo y le dijo: Hombre de poca fe, por qué dudaste? En cuanto subieron a la barca, el viento se calmó. Los que estaban en la barca se postraron ante Jesús, diciendo: Verdaderamente tú eres el Hijo de Dios.

Cuando nosotroos nos encerramos en nuestros problemas y quitamos nuestros ojos de Cristo, nuestra fe se tambalea, comenzamos a dudar, a tener miedo y comenzamos a hundirnos como Pedro. No es f]acil. Pero lo mismo que ]el, podemos experimentar que Jes]us extiende su mano y nos salva, mientras nos disse> Hombre, mujer de poca fe! Por qué has dudado? Por qué dudamos tanto? Por qué seguimos buscando falsas seguridades para sobrevivir, sin aprender a caminhar con una fe renovada hacia Jesús? Las crisis son inevitables, al tiempo que son también oportunidades para recuperar a Jesús, para una renovación profunda, no solo en la forma, sino tmbién en el fondo. Cristo actúa en la crisis que estamos vivendo. Cuando las cosas transcurren con normalidade en mi vida pienso que tengo fe y que Jesús está a mi lado, acompanhando mi caminho, pero cuando surge algún problema, alguna tempestade en mi vida, que tambalea mi barca y me descentra, mi fe se nubla.

Pero el Señor no estaba ni en el viento, ni en el terremoto, ni en el fuego. Dios estaba presente en la brisa. Dios está presente en las cosas más sencillas de nuestras vidas.


Português XIX DOMINGO DO TEMPO

COMUM

EVANGELHO DE MATEUS 14, 22-33

Depois de ter saciado a fome à multidão, Jesus obrigou os discípulos a subir para o barco e a espera-lo na outra margem, enquanto Ele despedia a multidão. Logo que a despediu, subiu a um monte, para orar a sós. Ao cair da tarde, estava ali sozinho. O barco ia já no meio do mar, açoitado pelas ondas, pois o vento era contrário. Na quarta vigília da noite, Jesus foi ter com eles, caminhando sobre o mar. Os discípulos, vendo-O a caminhar sobre o mar, assustaram-se, pensando que fosse um fantasma. E gritaram cheios de medo. Mas logo Jesus lhes dirigiu a palavra, dizendo: Tende confiança. Sou Eu. Não temais. Respondeu-lhe Pedro: Se és Tu, Senhor, manda-me ir ter contigo sobre as águas. Vem! – disse Jesus. Então Pedro desceu do barco e caminhou sobre as águas, para ir ter com Jesus. Mas, sentindo a violência do vento e começando a afundar-se, gritou: Salva-me, Senhor! Jesus estendeu-lhe logo a mão e segurou-o. Depois disse-lhe: Homem de pouca fé, porque duvidaste? Logo saíram para o barco, o vento amainou. Então, os que estavam no barco prostraram-se diante de Jesus, e disseram-LHE: Tu és verdadeiramente o Filho de Deus.

Quando as coisas caminham bem na nossa vida, pensamos que temos fé e que Jesus está presente na nossa vida. Quando surge um problema, uma tempestade na nossa vida, então a nossa fé vacila e temos a impressão de que Jesus está ausente na nossa vida. Jesus passa a ser como um fantasma, longe da nossa vida. Ele convida os seus discípulos a não terem medo, nos convida a confiar nele. Somente temos que deixa-lo subir na nossa barca, deixa-lo que entre na nossa vida. Quando nós nos encerramos nos nossos problemas e deixamos de olhar para Jesus, então parece-nos afundar na vida. Devemos ter os olhos sempre dirigidos ao Senhor, pois somente assim podemos caminhar sobre os problemas da nossa vida.

Muitas vezes procuramos a presença de Deus em milagres, em sinais grandiosos. Na primeira leitura deste domingo, Deus se revela ao profeta Elias, não na rajada de vendo, no terremoto ou no fogo. Deus se revela ao profeta numa ligeira brisa. Deus está se revelando constantemente a todos nós nas pequenas coisas da vida e nós não pomos atenção. Toda a nossa vida está cheia da presença de Deus.
