THE PRESENCE OF GOD After the miracle of Jesus walking on water, the disciples exclaimed, “Truly, you are the Son of God” (Matthew 14:33). Most Christians will probably never experience such a dramatic miracle. Like Elijah, we await the manifestation of God in other moments. Perhaps the biggest challenge for the believer is to be constantly attuned to the possible presence of God in the everyday events of life. This is a stance that takes some people years to develop. Others seem to ind the Lord easily in the simple things. As the week unfolds, let us look for the presence of God in the little things around us. Perhaps, like Elijah, we will be surprised at what we ind. And, like the disciples, we can add our voice to the confession, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Dear Parishioners,

Next Saturday is the beautiful feast of the Assumption of our Blessed Mother. It is a holy

day, but not one of obligation. When specific holydays fall on a Saturday or Monday, there is

no obligation to attend Mass. But it is still a holyday that has profound spiritual implications to

our spiritual journey. The Catholic Church teaches as dogma that the Virgin Mary “having

completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory.” This

doctrine was dogmatically defined by Pope Pius XII on November 1, 1950.

Mary enjoys what we long for when our earthly pilgrimage ends as well. Mary’s body and

soul were re-united as a glorified body. This reality that Mary enjoys, is the hope that we have

been promised. When our life on earth is over and on the day of the Lord’s coming, our body

and soul will re-unite to be like His own in glory.

Mary continues to play an important part in our spiritual journey. Please continue to pray

to Our Lady. I promise she will never let us down.

Our Lady of Angels, pray for us!

Thanks for your support!

Buenas Días!

El próximo sábado es la hermosa fiesta de la Asunción de Nuestra Santísima Madre. Es

un día de precepto pero no uno de obligación. Cuando ciertos días de precepto caen en un

sábado o lunes, no hay la obligación de asistir a Misa. Pero sigue siendo un día de precepto que

lleva implicaciones espirituales profundas para nuestra jornada espiritual. La Iglesia Católica

enseña como dogma que la Virgen María “habiendo completado el curso de su vida terrenal,

fue asumida en cuerpo y alma a la gloria celestial.” Esta doctrina fue definida dogma por el

Papa Pio XII el 1 de noviembre del 1950.

María disfruta lo que nosotros también anhelamos cuando termine nuestra peregrinación

terrena. El cuerpo y alma de María fueron reunificados como un cuerpo glorificado. Esta

realidad que disfruta María, es la esperanza que nos han prometido. Cuando nuestras vidas en

la tierra acaben, y en el día de la venida del Señor, nuestro cuerpo y alma serán reunificados pa-

ra que sean como el de Su propio en gloria.

María continúa a ser una parte importante en nuestra jornada espiritual. Por favor

continúen orando a Nuestra Señora. Yo prometo que ella jamás nos decepcionara.

¡Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles, ruega por nosotros!

¡Gracias por su apoyo!

Fr. Abels

Re lexion: Con el Senor a nuestro lado, no hay tormenta que no podamos supercar en la vida. Debemos con iar en su divina providencia, sin necesidad de buscar “pruebas ver y tocar”. Nada te turbe, Nada te espante, Todo se pasa, Dios no se muda, La paciencia Todo lo alcanza; Quien a Dios tiene Nada le falta: Solo Dios basta.
