On July 1, the New York Times published an article titled: "36 hours in Rockaway Beach.” The author profiled a number of fun and enriching things to see and do in our neighborhood. He recommended restaurants, shops, a museum, and even surf lessons that my mother would never approve of me trying. As I read, I kept thinking: we should be on that list!

I've been here at St. Rose for about two weeks now, and already I've experienced so much of what this parish has to offer to even the most casual visitor. Starting with the deep peace of our Blessed Sacrament Chapel, open from 6am to 9pm every single day, St. Rose is a gem. The beauty of our church building, despite the visible water damage, is inspirational. Look closely at the mosaics in the sanctuary, or the stained glass--particularly the one behind the statue of St. Rose herself, a labor of love by a local artist. It is difficult to put into words the power of such beauty.

The beauty of our building doesn't compare to the people who pray and work here, for whom I am already grateful. It is for you and because of you that the building is here. It is for you and because of you that I am here. I promise to do my best to know and love Jesus more, so that together you and I can show the world Rockaway's greatest treasure: the parish we call St. Rose. ======Al principio de Julio, el periódico The New York Times publicó un perfil de Rockaway y todas las cosas que uno puede hacer para disfrutar de esta bella area. Recomendó restaurantes, tiendas, un museo, y hasta lecciones de surfear que mi madre nunca me dejaría tratar! Mientras que leía esta lista me encontré con la pregunta: Y dónde esta Santa Rosa?

En las dos semanas que he pasado aquí, ya he experimentado muchas de las bellezas que nuestra parroquia ofrece. Comenzando con la paz inmediata de nuestra capilla de adoración, abierta cada día de las 6 de la mañana hasta las 9 de la noche, Santa Rosa es una bendición en Rockaway. Palabras solas no pueden expresar la belleza del edificio- no obstante el daño causado por años de agua salada- que es inspiradora. Los mosaicos en el santuario, y los vitrales (especialmente el que está detrás del estatua de Santa Rosa, hecho por un artista local) son verdaderas obras de amor.

Toda esta belleza no compara con el pueblo que he encontrado aquí, y doy gracias a Dios por ustedes. Es por y para ustedes que este edificio existe, y es por y para ustedes que estoy yo aquí. Les prometo que haré todo en mi poder para acercarme más a Jesus, para que juntos ustedes y yo podamos enseñarle al mundo entero el mejor tesoro de Rockaway, la parroquia de Santa Rosa. ======1 lipca New York Times opublikowal artykul zatytulowany: “36 godzin w Rockaway Beach”. Autor opisal rozmaite rozrywki i ciekawe wydarzenia, ktorych mozna doswiadczyc w naszej okolicy. Polecal restauracje, sklepy, muzeum i nawet lekcje plywania na desce, ktorych moja mama nigdy nie pozwolilaby mi sprobowac. Czytajac ten artykul pomyslalem, ze my powinnismy rowniez znalezc sie na liscie autora!

Jestem w parafii St. Rose okolo dwoch tygodni i juz doswiadczylem wiele z tego, co ta parafia ma do zaoferowania nawet zwyczajnemu gosciowi. Poczynajac od glebokiego spokoju w naszej kaplicy, otwartej od 6 rano do 9 wieczorem kazdego dnia, St. Rose jest klejnotem. Piekno naszego kosciola, bez wgledu na widoczne uszkodzenia dokonane przez wode, jest inspirujace. Przyjrzyjcie sie blizej mozaikom w sanktuarium, lub popatrzcie na witraze, specjalnie ten za figura St. Rose. Ta praca lokalnego artysty ukazuje jego umilowanie sztuki i jego dziela. Trudno jest przedstawic slowami sile tego piekna!

Piekno naszego kosciola nie daje sie jednak porownac z ludzmi, ktorzy modla sie i pracuja w parafii i ktorym jestem juz gleboko wdzieczny. To dzieki Wam i ze wzgledu na Was ten kosciol jest tutaj. To dzieki Wam i ze wzgledu na Was ja jestem tutaj. Przyrzekam, ze zrobie, co w mojej mocy, aby poznawac i kochac Jezusa gleboko, zebym razem z Wami mogl pokazac swiatu najwiekszy skarb Rockaways: parafie, ktora nazywamy St. Rose.

God Wants to be Known

Today's Old Testament reading from July 14 - July 21 Deuteronomy praises God for inscribing the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time...... commandments in our very bodies. God’s law is Deuteronomy 30:10-14; Colossians 1:15-20; Luke 10:25-37 not distant or foreign, but a natural part of us. In Monday...... Exodus 1:8-14, 22; Matthew 10:34--11:1 his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul echoes Tuesday...... Exodus 2:1-15a; Matthew 11:20-24 Moses, praising God for becoming one of us. The Wednesday...... Exodus 3:1-6, 9-12; Matthew 11:25-27 truly human, flesh-and-blood Jesus reminds us that Thursday...... Exodus 3:13-20; Matthew 11:28-30 God always wants to be recognizable and familiar Friday...... Exodus 11:10--12:14; Matthew 12:1-8 to us. Jesus, who is also truly God, wants to be on Saturday...... Exodus 12:37-42; Matthew 12:14-21 intimate terms with each of us. 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time...... God’s passionate desire to be known by us is Genesis 18:1-10a; Colossians 1:24-28; Luke 10:38-42 almost too wonderful to take in. Luke’s Gospel Prayerfully Reflect on the Mass Readings helps us understand how to respond. The Good New American Bible texts online: www.usccb.org Samaritan parable provides practical advice for Daily Reflections: The Word Among Us -- www.wau.org those who believe in God’s intimate love for them and want to share that love with others.
