Please have them call or email: PLEASE NOTE OUR NEW PHONE NUMBER: Help Line: 815-518-6460 X304 or email: [email protected] In this Gospel the love that Jesus reveals through the symbol of bread is: self-giving, sacrificial, healing, forgiving, in solidarity with the weak, confident in the power of God. During the hot summer months many of the elderly, especially those who are sick, are not able to find relief from the heat. Please help the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to bring respite and hope to them. FEAST DAY OF ST. CLARE OF ASSISI WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11 St. Clare of Assisi, Clare also spelled Clara, Italian Santa Chiara d’Assisi, (born July 16, 1194, Assisi, duchy of Spoleto [Italy]—died August 11, 1253, Assisi; canonized 1255; feast day August 11), abbess and founder of the Poor Clares (Clarissines). Deeply influenced by St. Francis of Assisi, Clare refused to marry, as her parents wished, and fled to the Porziuncola Chapel below Assisi. On March 18, 1212, Francis received her vows, and thus began the Second Order of St. Francis. Many joined Clare, including her mother and her sister St. Agnes of Assisi, and soon the Poor Clares were housed in the church and convent of San Damiano, near Assisi. Clare became abbess there in 1216. Her great concern was to obtain a rule reflecting the spirit of Francis to replace the Benedictine rule that Cardinal Ugolino (later Pope Gregory IX) had adapted for her order. Two days before she died Pope Innocent IV approved her definitive rule. Besides its “privilege of perfect poverty,” forbidding the ownership of property even by the community, Clare’s order is noted for its apostolic aim: she considered its penitential prayer life a spiritually vitalizing force for church and society. This view was shared by the popes and by the grateful citizens of Assisi, who credited Clare with twice saving their city from destruction. On the first occasion, Clare caused the convent chaplain to elevate the Host at the refectory window, whereupon the Moorish allies of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick II, who were storming the walls, fell back. On the second occasion, when a larger force headed by Gen. Vitale d’Aversa besieged Assisi, Clare and her nuns fervently prayed for the Assisians, and a great storm dispersed the attackers. She was credited with other miracles in life and after death. In 1958 Pope Pius XII declared her patron of television, citing an incident during her last illness when she miraculously heard and saw the Christmas midnight mass in the basilica of San Francesco on the far side of Assisi.

Eduardo Ext. 305 Tagle Agosto 8, 2021 Flores El Rito de la Comunión La Instrucción General del Misal Romano (IGMR) un su número 80-86 aclara que: “Puesto que la celebración eu- carística es el banquete pascual, conviene que, según el mandato del Señor, su Cuerpo y su Sangre sean recibidos como alimento espiritual por los fieles debidamente dispuestos…” También afirma que: “la Comunión es una par- ticipación en el sacrificio que… se está celebrando”. Además, la IGMR aclara que el canto de comunión “debe expresar, por la unión de las voces, la unión espiritual de quienes comulgan, manifestar el gozo del corazón y es- clarecer mejor la índole “comunitaria” DE LA PROCESIÓN PARA RECIBIR LA EUCARISTÍA”.
