St. Anthony of Padua Church www.sapparish.org 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 4, 2016

Christ makes this revelation: “If anyone comes to me without hating

wife and children, even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.” Saint

Paul demonstrates the depths of his discipleship in sending back to

Philemon the beloved Onesimus whom Paul cherishes as “my child, my

own heart.” The Lord wants to give us a grace that exceeds even the

love of a parent, a spouse, or a child. The kind of detachment that

Jesus calls for in the Gospel today creates the desire that disposes us

to receive all that God is eager to give us. Since “the earthen shelter

weighs down the mind that has many concerns,” the Lord insists that

we carry our own cross. For that cross separates us from anything that

conforms us to our own inadequate ideas and measures, so that we

can follow Christ faithfully. Reflection taken from the September 2016 Magnificat

St . Rosalia, daughter of Sini-bald, Lord of Roses and Quisquina, was a descendant of the great Charle-magne. She was born at Palermo in Sicily. In her youth, her heart turned from earthly vanities to God. She left her home and took up her abode in a cave, on the walls of which she wrote these words: "I, Rosalia, daughter of Sinibald, Lord of Roses and Quisquina, have taken the resolution to live in this cave fo r t he l ove o f my Lord, Jesus Christ." She remained there entirely hidden from the world. She practiced great mortifications and lived

in constant communion with God. After-ward she transferred her abode to Mount Pellegrino, about three miles from Palermo, in order to triumph en-tirely over the instincts of flesh and blood, in sight of her paternal home. She is said to have appeared after death and to have revealed that she spent several years in a little excava-tion near the grotto. She died alone, in 1160, ending her strange and wonder-ful life unknown to the world. Her body was discovered several centuries later, in 1625, during the pontificate of Pope Urban VIII. In 1624, a plague beset Palermo. During this hardship Saint Rosalia appeared first to a sick woman, then to a hunter, to whom she indicated where her remains were to be found. She ordered him to bring her bones to Palermo and have them carried in pro-cession through the city. The hunter climbed the mountain and found her bones in the cave as described. He did what she had asked in the apparition. After her remains were carried around the city three times, the plague ceased. After this Saint Rosalia was venerat-ed as the pa-tron saint of Palermo, and a sanctuary was built in the cave where her remains were

discovered.

XXIII Domingo Ordinario ~ 4 de Septiembre de 2016 ~ 23rd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Cristo hace esta revelación: " Si alguno viene a mí y odia a esposa e

hijos, hasta su propia vida, no puede ser mi discípulo. " San Pablo

demuestra la profundidad de su discipulado en el envío de vuelta a

Filemón el amado Onésimo quien Pablo valora como " mi hijo, mi

propio corazón. " el Señor quiere darnos una gracia que supera incluso

el amor de un padre, un esposo, o un niño. El tipo de desprendimiento

que Jesús pide que en el Evangelio de hoy crea el deseo de que nos

dispone a recibir todo lo que Dios está dispuesto a darnos. Ya que " el

refugio de tierra pesa sobre la mente que tiene muchas preocupaciones,

" el Señor insiste en que llevamos nuestra propia cruz. Por esa cruz que

nos diferencia de cualquier cosa que nos conforma con nuestras

propias ideas y medidas insuficientes, por lo que podemos seguir

fielmente a Cristo.

Santa Rosalía, hija de Sinibald, Señor de las Rosas y Quisquina, era un descendiente del gran Carlomagno. Ella nació en Palermo en Sicilia. En su juventud, su corazón se apartó de vanidades terrenales a Dios. Ella salió de su casa y tomó su residencia en una cueva, en las paredes de las cuales ella escribió estas palabras: "Yo, Rosalía, hija de Sinibald, Señor de Rosas y Quisquina, he tomado la resolución de vivir en esta cueva para el amor de mi Señor, Jesucristo”. Allí permaneció completamente oculto para el mundo. Ella practicó grandes mortificaciones y vivía en constante comunión con Dios. Después se trasladó su residencia a Monte Pellegrino, a unas tres millas de Palermo, con el fin de triunfar en su totalidad sobre los instintos de carne y hueso, a la vista de su casa paterna. Se dice que han aparecido después de la muerte y de haber revelado que pasó varios años en

una pequeña excavación cerca de la gruta. Murió sola, en 1160, poniendo fin a su vida extraña y maravillosa desconocido para el mundo. Su cuerpo fue descubierto varios siglos más tarde, en 1625, durante el pontificado de Urbano VIII. En 1624, una plaga acosado Palermo. Durante esta dificultad Santa Rosalía apareció por primera vez a una mujer enferma, a continuación, a un cazador, a quien le indicó donde sus restos se encontraban. Ella le ordenó recoger a sus huesos a Palermo y tenerlos llevadas en procesión por la ciudad. El cazador subió a la montaña y encontraron sus huesos en la cueva como se ha descrito. Él hizo lo que había pedido en la aparición. Después de que sus restos fueron llevados por la ciudad tres veces, la plaga cesó. Después de esta Santa Rosalía fue venerado como el santo patrón de Palermo, y un santuario fue construido en la cueva donde se encontraron sus restos.

What does the Catechism of the Catholic Church say?

Paragraph 478:

Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his

Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: "The Son of God. . .

loved me and gave himself for me." He has loved us all with a human

heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins

and for our salvation, "is quite rightly considered the chief sign and

symbol of that. . . love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves

the eternal Father and all human beings" without exception.

You are just, O Lord, and your judgment is right; treat your servant in accord with your merciful love. Psalm 119

Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, our great High

Priest, Hear my

humble prayers on

behalf of your priest,

Father [N]. Give him a

deep faith, a bright and

firm hope and a

burning love

which will ever

increase in the course of

his priestly life. In his

loneliness, comfort him

in his sorrows,

strengthen him in his

frustrations, point out to

him that it is through

suffering that the soul is

purified, and show him

that he is needed by the

Church, he is needed by

souls, he is needed for

the work of

redemption. O loving

Mother Mary, Mother

of Priests, take to your

heart your son who is

close to you because of

his priestly ordination,

and because of the

power which he has

received to carry on the

work of Christ in a

world which needs him

so much. Be his

comfort, be his joy, be

his strength, and

especially help him to

live and to defend the

ideals of consecrated

celibacy. Amen.

Father in heaven, we thank You for the communion of saints so that we can draw near to You through the

prayers of St. Rosalia. Through her prayers help us to remember that our destiny is heaven. As St. Rosalia

forsook all for Your Kingdom, through her prayers may we love more fully for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ,

who together with You and the Holy Spirit are one God forever and ever. Amen.

O God, our Father, You are offended by sin but pleased by penance. Mercifully look upon Your people who come to You and grant through the intercession of St. Rosalia, who turned away from earthly delights to the joys of contemplation, that we may be delivered

from the consequences of our sins and those of the world through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Padre en el cielo, te damos gracias por la comunión de los santos, para que podamos caminar hacia ti a través

de las oraciones de Santa Rosalía. A través de sus oraciones nos ayudan a recordar que nuestro destino es el cielo. Como Santa Rosalía dejándolo todo para Su Reino, a través de sus oraciones podemos amar más

plenamente a su Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que junto contigo y el Espíritu Santo son un solo Dios por los siglos

de los siglos. Amén. Oh Dios, nuestro Padre, se siente ofendido por el

pecado, pero satisfecho por la penitencia. Por fortuna en consideración a Tu gente que viene a Usted y

otorgan a través de la intercesión de Santa Rosalía, que se apartó de las Delicias a las alegrías de la

contemplación, para que seamos librado de las consecuencias de nuestros pecados y los del mundo por

medio de Jesucristo, nuestro Señor. Amén.
