The Pope is coming! Thirteen of our parishioners have been selected by lottery to go to the pope's mass in Madison Square Garden. Two of the winners were not able to go on account of health issues so we decided to give those two tickets to our beloved Sisters Edna and Jiasmin to thank them for all of the work they have done for our parish family. Sr. Martina will be going to see the Pope in Philadelphia with a bus load of other parishioners. Like most of you, I will be watching Pope Francis on television!! Of course we would all love to be with him in person, but I think that even by television we will feel the grace that comes from having the successor of St. Peter in our country and city. I have a suggestion: how about we all agree to spend some each day this week in private prayer for Pope Francis and for the spiritual fruits of his visit. Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for Pope Francis! St. Anthony, pray for Pope Francis! St. Francis, pray for Pope Francis!

CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD Sunday Gospel: Mark 9: 30-37 In today’s second reading James counsels Christians living in conflict by contrasting human and heavenly wisdom. Human wisdom is limited, and intertwined with our tendency to sinful self-centeredness and behaviors. Heavenly wisdom is pure, peaceable, merciful, and expressed in good deeds, leading to the perfect happiness God desires for us. All of us are tempted by status, wealth, and power—even Jesus’ disciples, who squabble about who is the greatest! We are like them when our behavior contradicts who we say we are. Reproaching the pastor, complaining about the parish, gossiping, or withholding money harms our parish. Heavenly wisdom shines in everyone who freely gives time to a ministry, prays for parishioners, welcomes and helps the poor and forgotten, and gives to the offertory collection. Following Christ requires hard work, commitment, perseverance, and courage. Success in the Christian life is achieved by becoming not the greatest, but the servant of all. The prize is life eternal.
Living Stewardship Now “Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, selfcontrol with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love.”

RIFLESSIONE SULLA PAROLA DI DIO Vangelo della Domenica : Marco 9: 30-37 Il santo battesimo ci ha inseriti nella morte del Signore, ci ha resi conformi al suo sacrificio. Questa è la radice della nostra esistenza cristiana, la sua sorgente profonda: il frutto deve essere l’umiltà, l’esistenza che ne sgorga deve essere un’esistenza donata nel servizio. È questo un punto centrale della vita cristiana. In essa, e dunque nella Chiesa, la logica delle “precedenze” è completamente rovesciata: il primo è colui che si fa il servo di tutti, come Gesù, il cui primato è stato posto dalla sua obbedienza ed immolazione sulla croce. La vera dignità è nella possibilità offerta all’uomo di imitare l’umiltà del Verbo Incarnato. Una conseguenza sconvolgente: il piccolo è il “sacramento” di Gesù e quindi in lui accogliamo il Padre.

REFLEXIONEMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS Evangelio del Domingo: Marcos 9: 30-37
En la segunda lectura de hoy Santiago aconseja a los cristianos que viven en conflicto y a la vez contrasta la sabiduría humana con la divina. La sabiduría humana es limitada y se entrecruza con nuestra tendencia a la maldad y a comportamientos egoístas. La sabiduría divina es pura, apacible y misericordiosa; se manifiesta en las buenas obras y nos lleva a la felicidad perfecta que Dios quiere para nosotros. Todos somos tentados por la posición social, la riqueza y el poder—¡aun los discípulos de Jesús que reñían sobre quién era el primero! Igual que ellos somos nosotros cuando nuestro comportamiento contradice lo que decimos ser. Cuando reprochamos al párroco, nos quejamos de la parroquia, chismorreamos o evitamos dar dinero a la parroquia eso le perjudica. La sabiduría divina resplandece en toda persona que da gratuitamente su tiempo a un ministerio, ora por los parroquianos, acoge y ayuda a los pobres y desamparados, y pone su contribución en la colecta del ofertorio. Seguir a Cristo conlleva empeño, compromiso, perseverancia y valor. En la vida cristiana el éxito no se mide por la grandeza, sino por estar al servicio de todos. El premio es la vida eterna. Viviendo la Palabra de Dios “Pongan el máximo empeño en incrementar su fe con la firmeza, la firmeza con el conocimiento, el conocimiento con el dominio de los instintos, el dominio de los instintos con la constancia, la constancia con la piedad, la piedad con el amor fraterno y el amor fraterno con la caridad.”
