TRANSCRIPT
From the RectorVery Rev. Joseph Tizio, C.Ss.R.
Staffed byThe Redemptorists
Saturday, September 11th marked the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. Like everyone else, I remember perfectly who told me to turn on the television that day, I remember where I was and what I was doing. At the time of the attacks, I was serving in St. Peter the Apostle Church in Philadelphia and the church was packed for the daily 12:10 p.m. mass. I decided to
pray the rosary with the congregation before that start of the mass, I can still feel the emotion of that day as we prayed together. There was one scripture quote which kept running through my mind: “This demon can only come out by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21). That scripture comes from a story in which the apos-tles tried to expel a demon from a young boy but could not do it. The father of
faith and then added that the demon could only be cast out by prayer and fasting.
-ing asking the Lord to expel the demon of hate and violence from our world, we ended the day with solemn evening prayer for peace. I have to tell you that we truly felt Christ’s presence when we gathered for prayer that evening, it was a powerful experience! I remember when we invaded Afghanistan several months later, the headline on one news program was “America Fights Back”, it sounds foolish but sometimes I wonder, what if we fought back with nonviolence? What if we fought
-violence is a powerful and just weapon which cuts without wounding and ennobles the one who wields it. It is a sword that heals.

“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.” (Mark 8:34)
Living a stewardship lifestyle means not only being responsible for my own life, but for the lives of others as well. We realize that our gifts are not intended for ourselves, rather they are meant to be shared with others. “Taking up my cross” means doing things when someone else needs me and not when it’s convenient for me.g. When we put faith over possessions we truly realize it is better to give than receive.

MASS INTENTIONS FROM THE RECTOR
En Español
El sábado 11de septiembre se cumplió el 20º aniversario de los ataques terroristas. Como todo el mundo, recuerdo perfecta-mente quién me dijo que encienda la televisión ese día, recu-erdo dónde estaba y qué estaba haciendo. En el momento de los ataques, estaba sirviendo en la Iglesia de San Pedro Apóstol
12:10 p.m. Decidí rezar el rosario con la congregación antes de ese inicio de la misa, todavía puedo sentir la emoción de ese día mientras orábamos juntos. Había una cita de las Escrituras que seguía corriendo por mi mente: “Este demonio puede salir por medio de la oración y el ayuno” (Mateo 17:21). Esa escritura proviene de una historia en la que los apóstoles trataron de expulsar a un demonio de un niño, pero no pudieron hacerlo.
-
no podían expulsarlo, él respondió que era por la falta de fe y luego agregó que el demonio sólo podía ser expulsado por la oración y el ayuno.
-uras, tuvimos un día parroquial de oración y ayuno pidiendo al Señor que expulsara al demonio del odio y la violencia de nues-tro mundo, terminamos el día con una solemne oración vesper-tina por la paz. ¡Tengo que decirles que realmente habíamos sentido la presencia de Cristo cuando nos reunimos para la oración esa noche, fue una experiencia poderosa! Recuerdo que cuando invadimos Afganistán varios meses después, el tit-ular de un programa de noticias era “Estados Unidos contraat-aca”, suena tonto, pero a veces me pregunto, ¿qué pasaría si nos defendiéramos con no-violencia? ¿Qué pasaría si nos de-fendíamos con oración y ayuno? Termino con las palabras de Martin Luther King, Jr: “La noviolencia es un arma poderosa y justa que corta sin herir y ennoblece al que la empuña. Es una espada que sana.”
Reflexión
“Quienquiera que desee venir conmigo debe negarse a sí mismo, tomar su cruz, y seguirme.” (Marcos 8:34)
Vivir un estilo de vida de corresponsabilidad no solamente es ser responsable de mi propia vida, sino también de las vidas de otros. Nos damos cuenta de que nuestros dones no son solo para nosotros, sino más bien para compartirlos con los demás.
necesita y no cuando es conveniente para mí.
Please remember that we depend on your weekly offering to con-tinue the ministry of our parish. We ask that you consider giving the equivalent of one hour of your weekly salary. It’s a goal that would strengthen the offertory to be in line with current expenses. If you can not commit one hour at this time, we ask that you contribute at least $5 as a minimum offering for the upkeep and mission of the church. Every gift will be used wisely and carefully. Thank you for the
