Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Singing a new song unto the Lord
Cantemos un cántico nuevo al Señor
Today’s readings and prayers focus on the call that
each of us must answer in order to gain eternal life.
Saint Paul tells us in his epistle that suffering is inherent
to answering God’s call. This is illustrated in the Old
Testament reading where Jeremiah is thrown into a
cistern for advising the king to surrender Jerusalem to
avoid its destruction. The cistern is without water, a
muddy pit that will be Jeremiah’s end if he is not rescued. His situation is described in the Responsorial
Psalm, “the Lord drew me out of the pit of destruction,
out of the mud of the swamp; he set my feet upon a
crag; he made firm my steps.” God’s hand was upon
Jeremiah just as it is on us. Answering God’s call is not
easy as Jesus explains in the Gospel. Jesus’ presence
on earth has caused division. He tells his disciples that
he has come to set the “earth on fire,” to establish a
new order. He shares that in order to do this “there is a
baptism with which I must be baptized and how great
my anguish is until it is accomplished.” Throughout his
years on earth, Jesus knew that his life would end in his
passion and death on the cross.
Saint Paul reminds us that Jesus
carried that knowledge with him
each and every day. He bore the
knowledge long before his actual
physical ordeal so that “we could
rid ourselves of every burden and
sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies
before us while keeping our eyes
fixed on Jesus, the leader and
perfecter of faith.” Jesus has
made it possible for us to believe,
trust, and love. He has “put a
new song into [our mouths], a
hymn to our God” (Responsorial
Psalm).
Las lecturas y oraciones de hoy se centran en la
llamada que cada uno de nosotros debe responder con
el fin de alcanzar la vida eterna. San Pablo nos dice en
su epístola que el sufrimiento es inherente a la
respuesta del llamado de Dios. Esto se ilustra en la
lectura del Antiguo Testamento donde Jeremías es
arrojado a una cisterna por asesorar al rey que entregue
a Jerusalén para evitar su destrucción. La cisterna es
un pozo fangoso sin agua que será el final de Jeremías
si no es rescatado; de esta manera se describe en el
Salmo responsorial: “me levantó de la fosa fatal, de la
charca fangosa; afianzó mis pies sobre roca y aseguró
mis pasos”. La mano de Dios estaba sobre Jeremías tal
como está sobre nosotros. Responder al llamado de
Dios no es fácil, tal y como Jesús lo explica en el
Evangelio. La presencia de Jesús en la tierra ha
causado división. Él le dice a sus discípulos que ha
venido a traer “fuego a la tierra” para establecer un
nuevo orden y continúa diciendo “tengo que recibir un
bautismo y ¡cómo me angustio mientras llega! En su
tiempo en la tierra, Jesús sabía que su
vida terminaría con la pasión y muerte en
la cruz. San Pablo nos recuerda que
Jesús conllevó dicho conocimiento con él
todos y cada uno de sus días; aún mucho
antes de pasar por su padecimiento físico
de manera que “dejemos todo lo que nos
estorba; librémonos del pecado que nos
ata, para correr con perseverancia en la
carrera que tenemos por delante, fija la
mirada en Jesús, autor y consumador de
nuestra fe”. Jesús ha hecho posible que
nosotros
creeamos,
confiemos
y
amemos. Él “[nos] puso en la boca un
cántico nuevo, un himno a nuestro
Dios” (Salmo Responsorial).
Living our Catholic Faith Through Eternity
Part Two of Two
As a Catholic may I be Cremated ?
The practice of cremation in the Catholic Church has been accepted since 1963 and has grown
and become more commonplace in the United States. It may be presented as a more affordable
alternative to traditional burial. What is often overlooked is the Church’s teaching regarding the respect and honor due
to the human body. The Order of Christian Funerals’ Appendix on Cremation states: “Although cremation is now permitted by the Church, it does not enjoy the same value as burial of the body. The Church clearly prefers and urges that the
body of the deceased be present for the funeral rites, since the presence of the human body better expresses the values which the Church affirms in those rites” (no. 413).
Ref; USCCB “Order of Christian Funerals” and “From Death to life” by Fr. Joseph M. Champlain.

Our Lady of the Assumption
School
We Celebrate
Our Patron:
Mary the Beloved of
God
It’s time for school to start again! We
welcome new students and welcome
back our returning students and families!
Our Lady of the Assumption School's first
day for the 2016-2017 school year will be on Thursday,
August 18. This will be a noon dismissal day for all
grades. Friday will be a full day of school for grades 2 8, with K and 1st continuing with half days for another
week. After school care begins
on the first day of school, and
Choice Lunch service will start
on Friday. Mrs. Groff will host a
New Parent Meeting on Monday, August 22 at 7 PM in Mulcahy Center. Back-To-School
Night for all parents will be at
6:30 PM on Wednesday, August 24, beginning in the
church.
It is not uncommon for an
artist to find a patron who will
support their craft. The patron offers the necessary resources for the artist to be
creative in order to produce
great art. The greatest artists of the Renaissance, Da
Vinci, Michelangelo, and Rafael relied on the support of
their patrons and a community of fellow artists to produce
their masterpieces.
During this month of the
Mary’s Assumption, we celebrate as a community, our
patronal feast. This is a time
for all in our parish family to
re-discover Mary’s singular gift for us as “one specially
favored by God” and blessed by God’s grace to receive
the ultimate reward of life-everlasting in heaven. We set
our sights on this goal because we believe that through
God’s grace in our own lives we are destined for reunion
with God our loving Creator.
During every Eucharistic celebration, we remind ourselves that we are joined together to offer simple gifts of
bread and wine. These represent us, all our efforts and
desires, in union with Jesus. In the words of blessing we
hear, “Blessed are you Lord God of all creation, through
your goodness we have this bread, and wine we offer
You, fruit of the earth and the work of human hands«”
Just as Mary was fashioned by God to be the “Handmaid
of the Lord”, so we are fashioned, for very special service
in the Kingdom of God. We are the precious fruit of
God’s creative grace and the work of human desires.
We are fashioned by the hand of God and by the hands
of so many others who walk the journey of life with us.
What better way to do this than to first realize that we
have been created and called by name as God’s beloved. We walk in imitation of Mary by pondering the
great Mysteries of Faith and being renewed as God’s
Faithful People. Our patron, Mary, shows us how we
bring Christ into the world through acts of charity and
mercy. As we celebrate our patronal Feast of Mary’s Assumption into Heaven, may we never take our eyes off
the eternal prize of life everlasting with God, our Father
and Creator. As we prepare for the upcoming Outdoor
Parish Mass on September 17th, we will have an opportunity to witness the power of this special relationship as
the Body of Christ. May Our Lady of the Assumption
lead us to her Son and show us the way to heaven.

Did you Know?
Road to priesthood involves a rigorous formation process
Seminary formation involves much more than academic
study. Prior to ordination, a candidate for priesthood goes
through a lengthy evaluation period, including an internship during which he lives in a rectory and works with
priests, staff and parishioners. During this time, the candidate is evaluated as to his suitability to be a priest. No
one is ordained unless the staff of St. John’s Seminary,
including the lay faculty and formation advisers, concludes that the candidate has attained an emotional, psychological and sexual maturity appropriate for his age and
for the celibate life of a priest. For more information,
please visit www.lavocations.org or call the Office for Vocations at (213) 637-7248.

Each day find a quiet place where there are no
distractions and then be still before God. Read
the prayer of the day: Remind us, Creator, of
the humanity we share with every other person
on this Earth. Close your eyes, slow down your breathing
by breathing God’s Spirit in deeply«.Holding your breath,
you hold your sense of the indwelling Holy Spirit, then
slowly exhaling«you share God’s loving presence with
others (family, friends and strangers).

Camino Hacia el Sacerdocio Implica Un Proceso
de Formación Rigurosa.
Formación en el seminario implica mucho más que los
estudios académicos. Antes de la ordenación, el
candidato al sacerdocio debe pasar a través de un largo
proceso de evaluación, incluyendo un internado en el que
vive en la rectoría y trabaja con sacerdotes, empleados y
feligreses de la parroquia. Durante este tiempo, el
candidato es evaluado en cuanto a su competitividad
para ser un sacerdote. No es ordenado sin que el
personal del Seminario de St. John, incluyendo el
personal laico y los asesores de formación, lleguen a la
conclusión de que el candidato haya alcanzado una
madurez emocional, psicológica y sexual apropiada para
su edad, y para la vida de celibato de un sacerdote. Para
