  • St Veronica Blessed Teresa Bracco
    . Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. …For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. John 3: 14 St Veronica St Veronica is remembered in the 6th station of the cross for the kindness and charity she showed to Christ in wiping her face. Even before the resurrection, she showed her love for Christ. We need to have that same faith and love for Christ. Blessed Teresa Bracco As a young girl and throughout her adolescence Blessed Teresa was often found in church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. She spared no sacrifice to nourish her love for Christ in the Eucharist, walking over a mile to attend Mass and receive Holy Communion. She appreciated the sacrifice Christ made for her on the cross.

  • La-Mia-Fede-Nei-Santi-Di-Ogni-Giorno
    1 MARTINO CARBOTTI LA MIA FEDE nei Santi di ogni giorno Pugliesi Editore 2 Introduzione Non è assolutamente semplice per me, figlio, delineare la figura di mio padre: Ninuccio Carbotti. Non vi nascondo di averci pensato per molto tempo, dubbioso, circa i tanti aspetti su cui avrei dovuto soffermarmi e una delle domande che mi sono subito posto è stata: ma oltre alla figura di padre modello che io conoscevo, cos'altro conosco della vita di mio padre? E qui ho avuto delle perplessità ..... sì dico perplessità perché tutti i padri presumo hanno un determinato comportamento con i figli, dettato dal ruolo, c'è chi lo fà con più severità e chi meno, chi è pedante e chi meno, chi è accondiscendente e chi meno e via dicendo ma sicuramente tutti si apprestano a svolgere questo compito basilare con uno sconfinato e immenso amore !!! Ma un padre oltre a questo è anche un “uomo”ed è proprio il profilo umano, di uomo tra gli uomini, che mi ha portato ad iniziare questo lavoro, oserei dire di ricerca, esegetico, di tutti gli scritti e archiviazioni varie che con pazienza e passione certosina egli aveva iniziato ed implementato nei vari anni della sua vita. Ho avuto la fortuna di crescere in una famiglia molto unita, sotto tutti gli aspetti. Mio padre apparteneva a quelle belle famiglie di una volta, numerose: erano otto figli, madre, padre e “zizì” a carico (una zia di mia padre, sorella minore di mia nonna, la quale viveva sotto lo stesso tetto a causa di lievi problemi invalidanti) e come tradizione comanda, tutti i figli maschi e dico tutti nessuno escluso, hanno ereditato dal padre l'arte della lavorazione del legno.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See PASTORAL VISIT OF HIS HOLINESS JOHN PAUL II TO VERCELLI AND TURIN (ITALY) (MAY 23-24, 1998) BEATIFICATION OF THE SERVANTS OF GOD: GIOVANNI MARIA BOCCARDO, TERESA GRILLO MICHEL, AND TERESA BRACCO HOMILY OF POPE JOHN PAUL II Solemnity of the Ascension, 24 May 1998 “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8). 1. Jesus speaks these words before his Ascension into heaven. With them he outlines for his Church her future programme, her mission, and calls those who have been his witnesses to carry it out. First of all, the Apostles who had “seen” the events of the Passion: they had been overcome with fear when he was crucified, and later rejoiced at his Resurrection. In the paschal mystery, Christ thus expresses the whole truth of his divine sonship and his messianic mission. On the road to Emmaus, he explains to the two disciples that the Messiah had to bear all these things in order to enter into the Father’s glory (cf. Lk 24:26). Now, at the moment when he is leaving the world to return to heaven, he asks “his” followers to bear witness to these events in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria and to the ends of the earth. The teaching they must spread is not an abstract system of ideas, but the Word about a living reality. And it is precisely by virtue of this Word that the Church will spread throughout the world. This Word, taken beyond the borders of Palestine by the first witnesses, has given rise to countless throngs of other 2 witnesses in every corner of the globe, most of whose names we do not know; but the Church retains a vivid memory of others.

    Church of the Holy Spirit 16 South 6th Street, New Hyde Park, New York 11040 March 27th 2016 OUR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES GRADES 1 - 3 ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE PASTOR’S PAGE Most people don’t realize that Easter is more than just one day. Easter is a 50 day period, a liturgical season that lasts fifty days! The Easter season continues to the feast of Pentecost. Although Lent seems to go on forever, Easter is actually a longer period of time. During this time, one way the church helps us see how God is present to us is through the reading of the Acts of the Apostles. At all Masses, all through the Easter season, our usual practice of reading from the Old Testament is replaced by reading the Acts of the Apostles. These readings tell the story of the Church’s earliest days, and the beginnings of our faith spreading throughout the ancient world. These stories of heroism, controversies, persecutions and miracles all testify to the continued presence of the Risen Christ in the world, through the lives of his disciples, and the actions of the Holy Spirit. Personally, I find the Acts of the Apostles the most inspiring book of the Bible. These readings should be an encouragement and a sign of hope for us today. Despite war, violence, personal struggles and under-performing economy, God has not abandoned us. The risen Savior is still with us! These 50 days of Easter ask us to reflect on His presence and, even in the face of uncertainty or fear, live with hope.
