A few items of interest from Fr. Fitzgerald:
A new priest resident… On August 16, we will be
hosting a new priest resident, Fr. Carlo Calleja, a
priest from Malta who will be pursuing a Doctoral
degree in Theology at Boston College. I have asked
Fr. Carlo to provide some biographical information
as follows:
“My name is Fr. Carlo and I am 34 years old from
Malta, a tiny island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea with a population of about 450,000 people.
After working for two and one half years in an acute
rehabilitation hospital as a qualified physical therapist, in 2008, I decided to finally respond to God’s
call and to start my formation towards the priesthood. I was ordained a deacon on November 9,
2014 and a priest on July 3, 2015, during which time
I was serving in a village in the south of the island
while completing my final studies in theology. I
have now been asked by my Bishop to pursue a
course in Christian ethics at Boston College, which
will last 4 or 5 years. Fr. Fitzgerald has been so kind
as to welcome me to the parish community. I enjoy
swimming and going on long walks – when I am not
buried under my books, that is!”
I know that all will give Fr. Carlo the usual Saint
Columbkille hospitality when he arrives.
_
RCIA… The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
will start up again this fall. The program is for individuals who are interested in becoming Catholic
who have never been baptized or have been baptized
in a Protestant denomination. Also, it is for Catholics who have not received the sacraments beyond
Baptism. Details about the program will be forthcoming in future bulletins and Mass announcements
for anyone you know who may be interested in the
program. Spread the word to anyone you may know
who may have interest.

El consumo de fuego
Nuestro Dios es un fuego consumidor, nos dicen las Escrituras (véase Hebreos 12:29; Deuteronomio 4:24).
Y en el Evangelio de esta semana, Jesús usa la imagen del
fuego para describir las demandas del discipulado.
El incendio que ha venido a traer a la tierra es el fuego
que él quiere para arder en cada uno de nuestros corazones. Él nos hizo a partir del polvo de la tierra (véase
Génesis 2: 7), y nos llenó con el fuego del Espíritu Santo
en el bautismo (ver Lucas 3:16).
Fuimos bautizados en su muerte (véase Romanos 6: 3).
Este es el bautismo de nuestro Señor habla en el Evangelio de esta semana. El bautismo con que Él debe ser
bautizado es su pasión y muerte, por el cual Él llevó a
cabo nuestra redención y envió el fuego del Espíritu en la
tierra (ver Hechos 2: 3).
El fuego se ha establecido, pero aún no está ardiendo. Estamos llamados a entrar más profundamente en el amor
de Dios que consume. Debemos examinar nuestras conciencias y nuestras acciones, sometiéndonos al fuego dactilar de la Palabra de Dios (véase 1 Corintios 3:13).
En nuestra lucha contra el pecado, todavía no hemos resistido hasta el punto de derramar nuestra propia sangre,
Pablo nos dice en la epístola de esta semana. No hemos
experimentado el sufrimiento que padece Jeremías en la
primera lectura de esta semana.
Pero esto es lo que requiere el verdadero discipulado. Ser
discípulo es estar inflamado con el amor de Dios. Que es
tener un deseo insaciable por la santidad y celo por la
salvación de nuestros hermanos y hermanas.
Al ser su discípulo no trae la paz en el camino falso que el
mundo proclama la paz (véase Jeremías 8:11). Esto significa que la división y de la dificultad. Puede que nos
lleve a entrar en conflicto con nuestra propia carne y sangre.
Pero Cristo es nuestra paz (véase Efesios 2:14). Por su
cruz, nos ha levantado del fango del pecado y la muerte,
ya que rescatará el profeta Jeremías (véase Jeremías
38:10).
Y como cantamos en el salmo de esta semana, confiamos
en nuestro libertador.
