From the Pastor‘s Desk
Dear brothers and sisters,
The Gospel of today is the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount of Saint Matthew. It is a fundamental passage in the Scriptures be- cause it portrays what is the new creation that God wants to do with us. Today we read the Beatitudes. This passage always brings me back to the year 2000 when I was for the first time in Israel accompanying with 500,000 youth from the whole world accompanying St.
John Paul II. On March 24, he had a Mass on the Mount of Beatitudes and I vividly remember his homily. He told us, and I paraphrase, it seems that Jesus is calling us to be losers; he calls blessed to all those we consider losers: the poor, the meek, those who cry, etc. … However, Christ is calling us to a different life… choose Christ! These words of St. John Paul II had a profound impact, he invited us in that mount to abandon our nets and to follow Christ. I also share this phrase: “To put your faith in Jesus means choosing to believe what he says, no matter how strange it may seem, and choosing to reject the claims of evil, no matter how sensible or attractive they may seem.” If you want to be happy follow Christ not your ideas or plans.
I also want to invite you all to participate in the Synod that Pope Francis is inviting us. Please see at the end of the bulletin where the schedule is posted. To be part of the Synod is to listen together what the Holy Spirit is calling us to do and go as a Church. Never for- getting who we are but we need to reflect how to bring Christ to the world today. Please make sure you participate in one of the ses- sions. Also, do not forget to give your contribution to the mission of the Church in the Annual Appeal.
Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!
Queridos hermanos y hermanas
El Evangelio de hoy es el comienzo del Sermón del Monte de San Mateo. Es un pasaje fundamental en las Escrituras porque retrata cuál es la nueva creación que Dios quiere hacer con nosotros. Hoy leemos las Bienaventuranzas. Este pasaje siempre me lleva de vuel- ta al año 2000 cuando estaba por primera vez en Israel acompañando a 500,000 jóvenes de todo el mundo que acompañaban a St.
Juan Pablo II. El 24 de marzo, tuvo una misa en el monte de las bienaventuranzas y recuerdo vívidamente su homilía. Nos lo dijo, y pa- rafraseo, parece que Jesús nos está llamando a ser perdedores; él llama bendecidos a todos aquellos que consideramos perdedores:
los pobres, los mansos, los que lloran, etc. ... ¡Sin embargo, Cristo nos está llamando a una vida diferente ... elige a Cristo! Estas pala- bras de San. Juan Pablo II tuvo un profundo impacto, nos invitó a ese monte a abandonar nuestras redes y seguir a Cristo. También comparto esta frase: “Poner tu fe en Jesús significa elegir creer lo que dice, no importa cuán extraño pueda parecer, y elegir rechazar las afirmaciones del mal, sin importar cuán sensatas o atractivas puedan parecer.“ Si quieres ser feliz, sigue a Cristo, no a tus ideas o planes.
También quiero invitarlos a todos a participar en el Sínodo que el Papa Francisco nos está invitando. Consulte al final del boletín donde se publica el horario. Ser parte del Sínodo es escuchar juntos lo que el Espíritu Santo nos está llamando a hacer e ir como Iglesia. Sin olvidar quiénes somos, pero debemos reflejar cómo llevar a Cristo al mundo de hoy. Asegúrese de participar en una de las sesiones.
Además, no olvide dar su contribución a la misión de la Iglesia en la Llamada Anual. ¡San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!
Queridos irmãos e irmãs
O Evangelho de hoje é o começo do Sermão no Monte de São Mateus. É uma passagem fundamental nas Escrituras, porque retrata qual é a nova criação que Deus quer fazer conosco. Hoje lemos as bem-aventuranças. Essa passagem sempre me traz de volta ao ano 2000, quando eu estava pela primeira vez em Israel acompanhando 500.000 jovens de todo o mundo acompanhando St. João Paulo II.
Em 24 de março, ele teve uma missa no Monte das Bem-Aventuranças e lembro-me vividamente de sua homilia. Ele nos disse, e eu parafraseio, parece que Jesus está nos chamando para ser perdedores; ele chama abençoado a todos aqueles que consideramos perdedores: os pobres, os mansos, os que choram etc. No entanto, Cristo está nos chamando para uma vida diferente ... escolha Cristo! Estas palavras de São. João Paulo II teve um impacto profundo, ele nos convidou naquele monte para abandonar nossas redes e seguir a Cristo. Também compartilho esta frase: “Colocar sua fé em Jesus significa escolher acreditar no que ele diz, por mais estranho que possa parecer, e optar por rejeitar as reivindicações do mal, por mais sensatas ou atraentes que possam parecer.” Se você quer ser feliz, siga a Cristo, não suas ideias ou planos.
Também quero convidar todos vocês a participar do Sínodo que o Papa Francisco está nos convidando. Veja no final do boletim onde a programação é publicada. Fazer parte do Sínodo é ouvir juntos o que o Espírito Santo está nos chamando para fazer e ir como Igreja.
Nunca esquecendo quem somos, mas precisamos refletir como trazer Cristo ao mundo hoje. Certifique-se de participar de uma das sessões. Além disso, não se esqueça de dar sua contribuição para a missão da Igreja no Chamado Anual.
São Francisco de Sales ora por nós!

CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE?
A LIFE OF Love A life of Prayer
Please contact Sister Rose Mary 315-788-1669 or [email protected]
400 Pratt St - Watertown, NY 13601 Www.sisterspreciousblood.org
Contemplative prayer is a gift of the Holy Spirit to the Church and to the whole world. Called by this life of prayer, Venerable Moth- er Foundress Catherine Aurelia Caouette founded the Institute of the Sisters Adorers of the Precious Blood in St. Hyacinthe, Que- bec, Canada on September 14,1861. As the recipients of the spiritual heritage of our Mother Foundress, we are called to a life wholly dedicated to the prayer of adoration and reparation. The principle end of our Institute is to give glory to the Father through the worship of His Son in the mystery of His Precious Blood and to honor Mary Immaculate in her conception. While our physical presence among the People of God is limited, our apostolic zeal for souls, purchased with the Saving Blood of Christ, finds its effectiveness in our life of prayer, contemplation and union with God.
CONSTANCY IN PRAYER IS OUR SERVICE IN THE CHURCH.
