VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Grayson Bourke, Community Engagement Coordinator for the East Bluff Community Center, and as part of his graduate internship through ISU, is conducting a neighborhood assessment (a three question survey) in the East Bluff. The purpose of the assessment is to give the EBCC a better understanding of resident needs and to attract community partners to help fill those needs. He was wondering if members of the St. Bernard's congregation would be willing to volunteer their time to knocking on doors and conducting this survey in the coming weeks, as he would need volunteer assistance. The volunteer shifts would typically be during office hours (9:00am and 5:00pm) during the week. His phone number is (715)-281-3008, or East Bluff Community Center (309) - 839 - 0781.

Welcome to the Heart of Peoria Catholic Community 5 Sunday, September 27, 2020

“Yo les aseguro que los publicanos y las prostitutas se les han adelantado en el cami- no del Reino de Dios. Mt, 21; 30.

Querida familia; Hoy tenemos un Evangelio muy lindo. Un Evangelio que nos invi- ta a pensar en la fuerza de nuestro "Si", en lo que podemos lograr cuando decimos "Sí" y cuando decimos "no", El Evangelio de hoy nos dice en la Parabola: ‘Hijo, ve a trabajar hoy en la viña’. Él le contestó: ‘Ya voy, señor’, pero no fue. El padre se dirigió al segundo y le dijo lo mismo. Éste le respondió: ‘No quiero ir’, pero se arrepintió y fue. ¿Cuál de los dos hizo la voluntad del pa- dre?”. Yo creo que muchas veces por temor decimos "si" y "no" porque no nos animamos a enfrentar las si- tuaciones que vivimos. Pero tenemos que ser fuertes y cuando tenga que decir no, "que sea NO" y cuando tenga que decir "SI" que sea "SI". Pero mi "SI" y mi "NO" siempre debe ser en Dios. Otra idea de este hermoso evangelio es cuando Jesús les dice: “Yo les aseguro que los publicanos y las pros- titutas se les han adelantado en el camino del Reino de Dios”. ¿Por qué Jesús pregunta esto?... ¿como? ¿Las prostitutas entran primero al Reino de los cielos?, esto parece no posible. Pero Jesús aquí nos quiere decir que: "toda persona que abra el corazón y se convierta puede entrar al Reino de los cielos"... no importa si era prostituta. Solo basta convertirse para recibir la Misericordia. Y esto es algo que no podemos dejar de pensar en este día. Querida familia, a Dios no le importa si eras pecador, le importa que te conviertas y te dejes amar por la Misericordia. Rezo por cada uno de ustedes. Padre Julio Faes. Página de Facebook, Instagram y Canal de Youtube: Padre Julio Faes. Teléfono: 309-294-1365

Evangelio del Domingo 25 durante el año. Mt. 21; 28-32 En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a los sumos sacerdotes y a los ancianos del pueblo: “¿Qué opinan de esto? Un hombre que tenía dos hijos fue a ver al primero y le ordenó: ‘Hijo, ve a trabajar hoy en la viña’. Él le contestó: ‘Ya voy, señor’, pero no fue. El padre se dirigió al segundo y le dijo lo mismo. Éste le respondió: ‘No quiero ir’, pero se arrepintió y fue. ¿Cuál de los dos hizo la voluntad del padre?” Ellos le respondieron: “El segundo”.

Entonces Jesús les dijo: “Yo les aseguro que los publicanos y las prostitutas se les han adelantado en el camino del Reino de Dios. Porque vino a ustedes Juan, predicó el camino de la justicia y no le creyeron; en cambio, los publicanos y las prostitutas, sí le creyeron; ustedes, ni siquiera después de haber visto, se han arrepentido ni han creído en él’’.

6 Welcome to the Heart of Peoria Catholic Community Querida Familia: Porque sabemos lo importante que es llegar con la Eucaristía inclusive a aquellos que alguna limitación le impide asistir a Misa, más en estos tiempos de pandemia, queremos estar presentes con ustedes de las formas po- sibles que la tecnología nos permite. Volvemos recargados para las transmisio- nes en vivo de las Misas Dominicales para la gente que no puede participar de la Eucaristía, tendremos las transmisiones desde la “Catedral Santa María” a las 12:15pm a través de las páginas de Facebook: “Ministerios Hispano Diocesis de Peoria” y “Padre Julio Faes”. Es una de las formas con las cuales queremos llegar a ustedes en estos tiempos en donde una vez más somos puestos a prueba en un mundo que cada vez necesita más de Dios. Te esperamos, Diocesis de Peoria.

El Sacramento de la Comunión. Continuamos… segunda parte. El mismo Cristo – después de la multiplicación de los panes – profetiza su presencia real, corporal y sustancial, en Cafarnaúm, cuando dice: “Yo soy el pan de vida …… Si uno come de este pan vivirá para siempre, pues el pan que yo daré es mi carne, para la vida del mundo”. (Jn. 6, 32-34;51)

Cristo, sabiendo que había llegado su “hora”, después de lavar los pies a sus apóstoles y de darles el mandamiento del amor, instituye este sacramento el Jueves Santo, en la Última Cena (Mt. 26, 26 -28; Mc. 14, 22 -25; Lc. 22, 19 - 20). Todo esto con el fin de quedarse entre los hombres, de nunca separarse de los suyos y hacerlos partícipes de su Pasión. El sacramento de la Eucaristía surge del infinito amor de Jesucristo por el hombre.

El Concilio de Trento declaró como verdad de fe, que la Eucaristía es verdadero y propio sacramento porque en él están presente los elementos esenciales de los sacramentos: el signo externo; materia (pan y vino) y forma; confiere la gracia; y fue instituido por Cristo.

Cristo deja el mandato de celebrar el Sacramento de la Eucaristía e insiste, como se puede constatar en el Evangelio, en la necesidad de recibirlo. Dice que hay que comer y beber su sangre para poder salvarnos. (Jn. 6, 54).

La Iglesia siempre ha sido fiel a la orden de Nuestro Señor. Los primeros cristianos se reunían en las sinagogas, donde leían unas Lecturas del Antiguo Testamento y luego se daba lugar a lo que llamaban “fracción del pan”, cuando fueron expulsados de las sinagogas, seguían reuniéndose en algún lugar una vez a la semana para distribuir el pan, cumpliendo así el mandato que Cristo les dejó a los Apóstoles.

Poco a poco se le fueron añadiendo nuevas lecturas, oraciones, etc. hasta que en 1570 San Pío V determinó como debería ser el rito de la Misa, mismo que se mantuvo hasta el Concilio Vaticano II. Así, es como debemos entender la Eucaristía. Ella siempre será el centro de nuestra vida cristiana y nunca nos deberá faltar la misma para poder enfrentar las luchas cotidianas de este mundo.

Es muy importante tener en cuenta que para crecer en el amor a la Eucaristía debemos ir a la Misa Dominical, tratar de pasar tiempo en las Adoraciones que las Parroquias ofrecen, rezar actos devocionales a la Eucaristía para unirnos más íntimamente y así hacer un proceso de cristificación

Solo quiero terminar con la frase del Apóstol que dice: “Los atletas corren por una corona de Gloria que se marchita, en cambio nosotros por una que es eterna” (1 Cor 9; 25) pero querida familia, esta corona de Gloria eterna no la alcanzaremos si no nos centramos en la Eucaristía.

“El subir siempre será el desafío de nuestra vida espiritual… La clave será no quedarse en lo estancado… El barro será la peor tragedia… El lavarse y seguir subiendo la mejor gracia”

La experiencia de subir siempre es difícil, aquellos que han hecho la experiencia de subir la montaña saben que no es nada fácil, sobre todo cuando vamos llegando a la cima. Esta experiencia es una de las más exigentes pero cuando estamos llegando descubrimos la belleza de la naturaleza que se levanta frente a nuestros ojos, la inmensidad de lo creado. La vida espiritual se trata de esto, de ascender, de subir. A lo mejor muchas veces en medio de dificultades y cansancios pero cuando hayamos llegado a la cima experimentaremos la alegría del esfuerzo. Sigamos subiendo!
