Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

3 July 2016South Boston-Seaport Catholic Collaborative

As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.

P a s t o r a l L e t t e r C a r t a P a s t o r a l

D a t e ( C o l o r o f b o x e s / b o r d e r s t o m a t c h c o v e r )3 J u l y 2 0 1 6Friends, July 4th to many means family gatherings, a day at the beach, cook outs with the all-American Cheeseburger and Hot Dogs, and ending the day with a Fireworks Display and singing God Bless America. This is how I remember celebrating the 4th of July growing up and this is how I continue to celebrate with my family today. I cherish traditions and I love creating memories with my family.

My dad who was very patriotic and loved his country, instilled in me the true meaning of the 4th of July. The Fourth of July is our Country’s Birthday, it is the day we declared Independence from Great Britain. It was the day that we shared the common idea that people should have their freedom

to live the way they want, to work and play the way they want and to me, most importantly, the freedom to pray. I feel so blessed to live in this great country, and I thank God for all he has provided.

So what can we do today for our great country? As members of the US “family” we all have basic responsibilities, for example, going to school, working, voting & obeying the laws, but we also need to take care of our country by keeping it clean, taking care of the environment, looking out for others, being kind to all we meet and helping those in need.

This is everything that I know Jesus would do and how he would encourage others to live their life. As we are one body

with many parts, we are one Country with many different kinds of people, but we are one nation under God, with unalienable rights endowed equally to all, among this life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I would like to thank and pray for all who serve and protect our great country as well as other foreign countries. As a mother watches over her child, I know God is watching over you. May we continue to pray for peace, love and hope and be thankful for this great country.

God Bless and Happy Fourth of July!

Susan

Queridos, El 4 de julio es un día para unir la familia, pasarlo en la playa o con una fiesta, comiéndonos de hamburguesas y hot dogs, un día que termina con un muestro de fireworks, cantando “God Bless America.” Siempre celebraba este día así, y sigo celebrando de esta manera hoy en día con mi familia. Me gustan mucho estos recuerdos y tradiciones con mi familia.

Fue mi papá, un patriota que amó mucho a su país, que me instiló la significación de este Día de Independencia. Es el cumpleaños de nuestro país; es el día que declaramos nuestra libertad de la corona de Inglaterra. Es el día para compartir la idea común que gente tiene el derecho de vivir como quieran, de trabajar y jugar como quieran, y lo más importante, el

derecho de rezar y alabar a Dios como quieran. Me siento tan bendecido vivir en este país tan bueno, y doy gracias a Dios por todo que Él me provee.

Ahora, ¿qué podemos hacer para apoyar el bienestar de nuestro país? Como miembros de la “familia” americana, todos tenemos responsabilidades básicas: ir a la escuela, ir al trabajo, votar en las elecciones, obedecer las leyes. Pero también tenemos que cuidar para el país por mantenerlo limpio, cuidar del ambiente, apoyar a nuestros prójimos, y estar amable con todos los que nos conocemos.

Todo esto yo sé que Jesús hiciera y lo que él nos desea de nosotros. Como somos un solo cuerpo con muchos miembros, somos un país con muchas clases de personas, una

nación bajo Dios, con derechos que nadie nos puede quitar: los derechos de vida, libertad, y la búsqueda de la alegría.

Yo les quiero dar gracias y ofrecer mis oraciones a todos que sirven y protegen a nuestro país y otros países. Como una madre que mira y consuela a su hijo, yo sé bien Dios les mira y protege. Que todos nosotros sigamos rezando por la paz, el amor, y la esperanza, y tengamos la gratitud por este país tan bueno.

Que Dios les bendiga, y que gocen ustedes de las celebraciones del 4 de julio.

Oh Lord, I am weak. You know this.

In fear I seek the way to you. Do not despise me.

Do not forsake me when I fall. Draw near even to me,

Although I am of no account, Because I thirst after you.

Come Lord, and dwell in me, and work yourself in me

all that you have commanded. Make me yours

for ever and ever, in love unshakeable.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer for Grace and Guidance

The Pilot is an important voice in the public square that brings you the Catholic perspective on current events.

Inspired by the vision of our publisher, Cardinal Seán O’Malley, The Pilot covers it all — from in-depth reporting on Pope Francis to the good works of Boston parishes.

Each week, The Pilot brings you the stories of Boston Catholics who bring the Works of Mercy to life on a daily basis.

Proclaiming the present Holy Year of Mercy, Pope Francis said he wants to make it evident that the Church’s mission is to be a witness of compassion. “Let us not forget that God forgives and God forgives always,” Pope Francis said. “Let us never tire of asking for forgiveness.”
