�It’s that time of year when Bridget and I are reaching out

to all with an invitation to become a catechist (Religious

Ed. teacher) for the Stoughton Collaborative. Actually,

this is the time of year we are “on the prowl” seeking out

those who have the potential to serve in this role but are

reluctant to accept our invitation. These are some of the

responses we receive when we extend our invitation.�

�

Top ten reasons why “I’m hesitant to �

become a catechist because…..”�

�

1. I don’t know if I can handle a group of kids.�

2. I’m not sure that I have anything to share.�

3. I’m not sure that I know just what the Church teaches.�

4. I’m afraid I’ll say something wrong.�

5. I don’t know if I’ll be able to answer kids questions.�

6. I’m not that holy…..I’m just a regular person.�

7. I don’t know if I have the time.�

8. I don’t have any formal training to teach.�

9. I don’t know if kids will like me�

10. I’ve never taught before. �

�

I offer the following top ten reasons for �

becoming a catechist.�

�

1. You will grow in your own faith, learn the teachings of

the Church, and deepen your relationship with Jesus.�

2. Your Baptism calls you to share in Jesus’ ministry.�

3. Children, teens, and adults in today’s world, more than

ever, need to hear the Good News of Jesus.�

4. Children, teens, and adults in today’s world, more than

ever, need to encounter good role models of faith.�

5. You have much to share with those you’ll teach,

and you’ll have opportunities to share faith with other

catechists.�

6. Today’s catechetical textbooks/resources offer

outstanding support.�

7. You’ll be challenged, you’ll have fun, and you’ll make

new friends.�

8. You’ll be helping people deepen their relationship with

Jesus. (You’ll be evangelizing!)�

9. You’ll be handing on a 2000�year�old Tradition that

changes lives.�

10. It’s our job: Jesus sent us to “go and teach all

nations.”�

�

The youth of the Parishes needs your help!! �

We ask that you please take time to think and pray �

about joining the catechetical team. If you have any

questions or concerns regarding teaching, please do

not hesitate to call the Religious Ed. office. �

The celebration of the Eucharist is the highest form of worship in the Catholic Church and it is our long standing tradition to pray for the dead at

Mass. Anyone can ask for a Mass to be offered for a special intention; the most common being for the repose of the soul of someone who died.

We reserve one intention per Mass and you can schedule a Mass by contacting the respective parish office.

Please pray for the patients of the New England

Sinai, Kindred, and Good Samaritan Hospitals.

Also for the patients and residents in treatment

at Blue Hills Alzheimer’s Care Center,

The Arbors Assisted Living, and Copley Nursing

Home; and their caregivers.

Please pray for our sick:

23° Domingo Comum Bole�m em Português 9 de Setembro de 2018�

Mensagem do Pastor

Caros paroquianos:

As últimas semanas têm sido difíceis e penosas para Católicos em todo o mundo. A

divulgação do relatório do Grande Júri da Pensilvânia há três semanas, associado às

acusações credíveis de má conduta sexual do Arcebispo McCarrick (ele demitiu-se do

Colégio dos Cardeais a 28 de Julho e foi retirado do ministério público) são devastadoras,

vergonhosas e profundamente perturbantes. Este é um momento de trevas na história da

Igreja. Partilho da vossa frustração e da vossa tristeza. Embora muito tenha sido feito nos

últimos 14 anos para corrigir o assunto do assédio sexual na igreja, principalmente na

nossa arquidiocese, é evidente que muito mais terá que ser feito. Tenho que admitir que não

consigo compreender como é possível a predominância de tão grande mal no mundo. É

desolador para mim que este pecado em particular arruína não somente a nossa igreja, mas

também as nossas escolas, os nossos programas desportivos, universidades e todas as

outras áreas. Existe uma grande indignação justificável para com aqueles que foram

cúmplices em esconder estes pecados. Compreendo esta indignação e, na verdade, também

partilho dela. Devo dizer que nunca imaginei que um dia, como sacerdote, teria que escrever

sobre um assunto tão feio. A minha experiencia da Igreja foi cheia somente de nos exemplos

do seu ministério: os bons padres paroquiais em criança, os padres da Congregação da

Santa Cruz em Notre Dame e tantos sacerdotes admiráveis da Arquidiocese de Boston.

Recordo, também, as maravilhosas irmãs religiosas que conheci e de quem me tornei amigo

ao longo dos anos: as Filhas de São Paulo, As Irmãs Carmelitas dos Idosos e Enfermos, as

Cistercienses em Wrentham e tantas outras. Fazem parte do meu chamamento vocacional e

continuam a dar-me grande esperança na minha caminhada.

É verdade que o caminho que temos pela frente apresenta grandes desafios. Temos pela

frente semanas, meses e, sim, anos difíceis. A minha oração em primeiro lugar é pelas

vítimas, para que recebam a cura e a paz de Jesus Cristo e que sejam tratadas com

compaixão e justiça . Rezo, também, para que a nossa Igreja continue a ser purificada.

Amigos, rezai pelos nossos sacerdotes, por todos eles, vivos e defuntos. É por causa de vós e

pelas vossas orações que nos é possível oferecermo-nos a Deus no dia da nossa ordenação e

foi para vós que nos tornamos sacerdotes. Gosto muito de ser sacerdote e luto todos os dias

para ser um sacerdote humilde e santo. Confio na graça do nosso bom Deus e nas vossas

orações para que me ajude a sê-lo.

Amigos, mesmo com todos os desafios destes tempos, não percamos a nossa esperança.

Compreendo a tentação de desesperar. Contudo, tenho que me recordar das palavras que de

S. Pedro no Evangelho das últimas semanas: “Senhor, a quem iremos? Só tu tens palavras

de vida eterna.” Temos o nosso Salvador, Jesus, para nos guiar como pastor durante estes

tempos difíceis. Têmo-lo no Sacramento da Eucaristia para nos fortalecer quando somos

tentados a desistir. Temos a Sua Igreja que, apesar da presença de pecados graves de

alguns dos seus membros, tem sido um instrumento poderoso da paz, justiça e de serviço

aos mais pobres durante séculos. Jesus não abandonará o Seu povo. Ele é a nossa luz nas

trevas. Confiai nisto. Confiai n’Ele.

N’Ele,
