The eyes of all look hopefully to you, and you give them their food

in due season.

— Psalm 145:15

ONE LORD, ONE FAITH. Do you suppose the authors of the four Gospels were aware of today’s first reading from the second book of Kings? Of course they were. The prophet Elisha fed a hundred men with twenty barley loaves in order to prove God’s power. This same miracle, now multiplied by more people fed by fewer loaves, is attributed to Jesus in all four Gospels. In today’s passage from John we even have the detail that the loaves were barley, reminding every pious Jew of that miracle that Elisha worked. Yet Jesus went into hiding when they wanted to make him king. It is the passage from Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians that gives us the reason for this. The power of Jesus comes from God. It is not meant merely to feed us, or to provide one group with a king. There is one Lord, one faith, one God and Father of all who works through Jesus Christ and through us all.

The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass

The Preface Dialogue

“Lift up your hearts.” “We lift them up to the Lord.”

“Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.” “It is right to give him thanks and praise.” With this ancient dialogue we enter the Eucharistic Prayer, the heart of the Mass.

These venerable words have been part of the Christian liturgy almost from the beginning—by the time of Hippolytus of Rome (c. 215) they were already fixed in the liturgy.

Several times during the Mass the priest has invited us to pray. There is something different here. We are invited to be “lifted up,” to ascend, to climb the Lord’s mountain, as it were, to go to a new place for this most solemn part of the Mass. And we are invited to a new frame of mind, a sense of joy, of focused dedication:

our hearts must not be cast down, but lifted up, and lifted to the Lord. Why? Because we are going to give thanks—we are going to “eucharist!” It is right and just that we do this.

—Corinna Laughlin, © J. S. Paluch Co.

GOD WITHIN

God dwells in a secret and hidden way in all souls, in their very substance, for if God did not, they could not exist at all. —St. John of the Cross

Understanding the need for “likes”

Children and teenagers are spending more and more time connecting with their friends on social media.

Research shows that people are hardwired to find social interaction and communication rewarding, and on social media, rewards come in the form of “likes.” Although apps like Instagram have recently moved to change how

“likes” are seen on photos and videos, the drive to post something “likeable” is still there, and many users may feel the need to test boundaries to drive them up. It’s important for parents to understand the enticing nature of these apps, and to talk to their children and teens about internet safety and social media use.

Domingo: Decimoséptimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario; Jornada Mundial de los Abuelos y de los Mayores

Lunes: Santos Joaquín y Ana

Jueves: Santos Marta, María y Lázaro Viernes: San Pedro Crisólogo

Sábado: San Ignacio de Loyola UN SEÑOR, UNA FE. ¿Crees que los cuatro

evangelistas estaban conscientes de la primera lectura de hoy, tomada del Segundo Libro de los Reyes? Por supuesto que lo estaban. El profeta Eliseo alimentó a 100 hombres con veinte panes de cebada a fin de demostrar el poder de Dios. Este mismo milagro, ahora multiplicado por más personas alimentadas con menos panes, se le atribuye a Jesús en los cuatro Evangelios.

En el pasaje de hoy, tomado de Juan, incluso tenemos el detalle de que los panes eran de cebada, recordando a cada judío devoto de aquel milagro que hizo Eliseo. Sin embargo, Jesús se escondió cuando querían hacerlo rey.

Es el pasaje de la Carta de Pablo a los Efesios que nos explica por qué. El poder de Jesús viene de Dios. No es simplemente para darnos de comer, o para proporcionarle un rey a un grupo. Hay un solo Señor, una sola fe, un solo Dios y Padre de todos quien obra por medio de Jesucristo y por todos nosotros.

De la epíclesis a la narración

La narración es una parte de la Plegaria Eucarística y comienza después de la epíclesis, es decir, quien preside la Eucaristía (y quien concelebra, si es el caso), invocan el poder del Espíritu Santo para que consagre los dones que la Iglesia ha ofrecido; que se conviertan en el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo. El signo visible que acompaña este momento es la imposición de manos sobre los dones. A partir de esta invocación, comienza la narración de la Institución en que Nuestro Señor Jesucristo nos deja la Eucaristía en el contexto de una comida. Esta narración es esencial a la fe cristiana porque describe el dinamismo de su Tradición de una forma pura y fiel. Pablo nos lo recuerda en la primera carta a los corintios: “Yo he recibido del Señor lo que a mi vez les he transmitido” (23). Así pues, el recuerdo de la institución eucarística en el contexto de una comida, no sólo era una historia bonita para recordar, sino un precepto del mismo Jesús que identificará a la comunidad con una historia nueva, una nueva Pascua, un nuevo pan, una Nueva Alianza que se renueva cada vez que se come de este pan y se bebe de este cáliz. Todo esto sucede ahí mismo, frente a nuestros ojos. —

Miguel Arias, © J. S. Paluch

Comprender la necesidad de los “likes”

Los niños y adolescentes pasan cada vez más tiempo conectándose con sus amigos en las redes sociales. Las investigaciones muestran que las personas están programadas para encontrar gratificante la interacción social y la comunicación, y en las redes sociales, las recompensas vienen en forma de los “likes”. Aunque aplicaciones como Instagram han Avanzado para cambiar la forma en que se ven los “likes” en las fotos y los videos, el impulso para publicar algo “agradable”

sigue presente, y muchos usuarios pueden sentir la necesidad de sobrepasar los límites para aumentarlos. Es importante que los padres de familia comprendan la naturaleza atractiva de estas aplicaciones y hablen con sus hijos y pequeños y con los adolescentes sobre la seguridad de Internet y el uso de las redes sociales.

WHY IS IT A man wakes up after sleeping under an ADVERTISED blanket on an ADVERTISED mattress and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth with ADVERTISED toothpaste washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes drinks a cup of ADVERTISED coffee

drives to work in an ADVERTISED car

and then . . . . refuses to ADVERTISE believing it doesn’t pay.

Later if business is poor he ADVERTISES it for sale.

WHY IS IT?

Queridos parroquianos de San Pio X,

Atraves de la pagina web quisiera compartir con Ustedes algunas fotos que enseñan el progreso logrado desde mi visita en Septiembre de 2019. Me refiero a la ejecucion de nuestros proyectos en la parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Asuncion en la Mision de Quillazu del Vicariato Apostolico de San Ramon en la selva central de Peru:

1. Construcción de nueva Casa de Retiros (inicio en 2016) 2. Reconstrucción de la iglesia más antigua de del vicariato, toda hecha en madera (inicio 2018) 3. Reparación del techo de la casa parroquial - rectoría (inicio marzo 2019)

Nuestra iglesia abrió nuevamente sus puertas a los fieles en Octubre de 2020 gracias a la ayuda de 4 fuentes financieras:

organización católica de ADVENIAT en Alemania, colecta en su parroquia de San Pio X, colectas de las parroquias de mi diócesis en Polonia, numerosas actividades pro-fondo en mi misión en Perú. Actualmente batallamos para terminar el tercer piso del Centro de Retiros y segundo piso de la rectoría. En este segundo caso, tuvimos que reparar el techo debido a muchos daños que causaban las lluvias tropicales.

La suma de dinero que necesitamos para acabar con estos proyectos alcanza unos 30 000 dólares. En actualidad no es fácil conseguirlos debido a la pandemia, desempleo y protocolos vigentes que impiden mayor participación de la gente en las liturgias dominicales y actividades sociales tanto en Perú como en países auspiciadores de nuestros proyectos, donde se siente también recortes presupuestarios por las mismas razones. Cabe mencionar que a pesar de tener nuestras propias necesidades, nuestros parroquianos contribuyeron generosamente en la campaña de “Oxigeno para Oxapampa”. Su finalidad era recuadrar 200 000 dólares para adquirir e instalar una nueva planta para generar oxigeno medicinal que hoy en día salva muchas vidas infectadas por COVID.

A nombre de mi obispo y mis fieles les agradezco mucho por ayuda brindada anteriormente y les animo a colaborar con nosotros con la segunda colecta pro misiones que ha sido programada para el domingo 8 de agosto. Su apreciada generosidad nos servirá para seguir con los acabados de los proyectos en mención y para cubrir nuestros gastos de la acción pastoral en la parroquia. Agradecido por su comprensión y colaboración aseguro mis oraciones pidiendo a Dios que abundantemente bendiga sus familias y sus vidas. Bendiciones.

P. Gerard Tyralla Mision Quillazu, Peru Dear Parishioners,

Using parish web site, I would like to share with you some pictures showing a progress we were able to make since my last vist at. St Pius X in September 2019. The pictures show three projects in our Mission Quillazu (The Apostolic Vicariate of St. Ramon) in the Central Rainforest of Peru:

1. Construccion of the new retreat center started in 2016.

2. Reconstruccion of the oldest, wooden Church in our area:

Our Lady of the Asumption started in 2018.

3. Repair of the rectory started in March 2019.

The Church has been reopened to the faithfull in October 2020 thanks to 4 resources we got: German Catholic Organization of Adveniat, your economic support in 2019, collection of several parishes of my diocese in Poland and numerous fundraiser of our parishioners in Peru. We are still struggling with the finishing of the third store of the Retreat Center and with second store of our rectory. It was necesary to fix its roof last year, because of some demages coused by heavy tropical rains.

The money we need to continue and finish those projects are aproximately 30 000 dollares. It is hard today to reach this goal due the pandemic and COVID’s protocols that reduce the participation of our people in the liturgy and social activities and consequently led to the budget’s cuts all over the world. In spite of those difficulties our parishioners contributed generously in campaign “Oxygen for Oxapampa”

last year. The goal was to gather 200 000 dollars to purchase and install a new plant of medical oxygen. Thanks to this initiative taken and let by the Catholic parishes of our deanery, we could save many lives since it has started operating and producing oxygen.

On behalf of my bishop and parishioners and thankful for your kindness and previous help, I would appreciate any kind of support your might give to us, so we may continue and finish our projects and may cover also our pastoral needs.

The second collection for my mission was scheduled for Sunday, August 8th. Thanks a lot in advance. I ensure my prayers and ask God to pour out his blessings upon your families and lives. God bless.

From the old church we could save only the bell tower, which was renewed several years before.
