We are privileged to be here on this day of the Lord. We have gathered as disciples at the feet of the master to listen and meditate like St. Mary on the life-giving and saving words of Jesus Christ. The readings of today, speak to us about hospitality but more importantly on choosing the better part, the part that brings us closer to God in every circumstance of life.

Today we shall reflect on choosing the better part. Jesus replied to Martha “…There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part…” Let us begin by asking ourselves: Have I chosen the better part in my relationship with God and others?

Es un privilegio de estar aquí en este día del Señor. Nos hemos reunido como discípulos a los pies del maestro para escuchar y meditar, como Santa María, en las palabras vivificantes y salvadoras de Jesucristo. Las lecturas de hoy nos hablan de hospitalidad, pero sobre todo de elegir la mejor parte, la que nos acerca a Dios en cada circunstancia de la vida.

Hoy reflexionaremos sobre cómo elegir la mejor parte. Jesús le respondió a Marta: “...Solo se necesita una cosa. María ha elegido la mejor parte...”. Comencemos preguntándonos: ¿He elegido la mejor parte en mi relación con Dios y con los demás?

Backpack Drive

Each summer for more than 15 years, St. Katharine Drexel Parish has been running a back-to-school NEW backpack and NEW school supplies drive in the month of July. The drive benefits children of migrant workers in Pahokee, Florida. The collected backpacks and supplies are sorted, then delivered two weeks before Pahokee public schools reopen to St. Mary’s Church CCD program facility in Pahokee.

The drive allows our church family the opportunity to fill backpacks with school supplies for students in need. Through this, we get to be the hands and feet of Jesus — showing Christ’s love. As followers of Christ, our genuine desire is to be selfless and kind toward others. Jesus calls us to show compassion to those in need. When we are generous with our time, resources, and talents, we make a heartfelt decision of obedience toward Our Father.

We don’t often see the impact that backpacks and school supplies have on children and families in need. It brings parents relief and comfort to know that their children have the school supplies needed to learn and do well in school.

Toy Drive – Angel Tree

SKD toy drives have become an essential part of our parish, bringing parishioners together to make a difference in the lives of those who need them most. Our toy drives play a crucial role in ensuring that the children of the CCD program in Pahokee experience the joy of receiving a gift during the holidays, helping to alleviate the stress faced by migrant parents in that community.

SKD toy drives provide an opportunity for people to express their generosity and kindness. By contributing to the happiness of others, we develop a sense of loving others. — Hebrews 13:1 “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” This scripture encourages us to be committed in spirit of serving the Lord. This means that we should be passionate about our beliefs and committed to making a difference in the world.

SKD annual toy drive usually starts on Thanksgiving weekend with decorating the Angel Tree, and runs until the second weekend of December.

THE DRIVES CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THE HELP OF VOLUNTEERS

  • volunteers to help during church collections
  • volunteers to assemble and sort out the backpacks/toys
  • volunteers to deliver the backpacks/toys to Pahokee

SKD drives are excellent opportunities to teach children the values of empathy and compassion. When kids actively participate in donating or volunteering for these events, they learn the importance of giving back. These experiences contribute to the development of socially conscious individuals who understand the impact of their actions on the well-being of others. By sharing our blessings with others today, we are sowing the seeds from our Heavenly Father for a hopeful future for all of us.

For more information on how you can volunteer during either of the drives, please contact (954) 683-3584 - Marie France.

Campaña de Mochilas

Cada verano, durante más de 15 años, la Parroquia St. Katharine Drexel ha organizado una colecta de mochilas y útiles escolares NUEVOS para el regreso a clases. Esta colecta beneficia a los hijos de trabajadores migrantes en Pahokee, Florida. Se lleva a cabo durante todo el mes de julio. Las mochilas y los útiles recolectados se clasifican y se entregan dos semanas antes de la reapertura de las escuelas públicas de Pahokee. Se entregan en las instalaciones del programa CCD de la Iglesia Santa María en Pahokee.

Esta colecta brinda a nuestra familia parroquial la oportunidad de llenar mochilas con útiles escolares para estudiantes necesitados. De esta manera, nos convertimos en las manos y los pies de Jesús, mostrando su amor. Como seguidores de Cristo, nuestro deseo genuino es ser desinteresados y bondadosos con los demás. Jesús nos llama al amor y compasión por los necesitados. Cuando somos generosos con nuestro tiempo, recursos y talentos, tomamos una decisión sincera de obediencia a nuestro Padre Celestial.

No solemos ver el impacto que las mochilas y los útiles escolares tienen en los niños y las familias necesitadas. Pero para una familia con dificultades económicas, cubrir esos necesarios escolares es un alivio. A los padres les brinda alivio y consuelo saber que sus hijos tienen los útiles escolares necesarios para aprender y tener un buen rendimiento escolar.

Campaña de Juguetes – Árbol de Ángeles

Las colectas de juguetes de St. Katharine Drexel se han convertido en una parte esencial de nuestra parroquia, uniendo a los feligreses para marcar la diferencia en la vida de quienes más lo necesitan. La temporada navideña puede ser un momento difícil para muchas familias que enfrentan dificultades económicas. Nuestras colectas de juguetes son cruciales para garantizar que los niños del programa CCD en Pahokee experimenten la alegría de recibir un regalo durante las fiestas. Este gesto ayuda a aliviar el estrés y la presión que enfrentan los padres migrantes en esa comunidad.

Las colectas de juguetes de SKD brindan una oportunidad para que las personas expresen su generosidad y bondad. Al contribuir a la felicidad de los demás, desarrollamos el amor por ellos. — Hebreos 13:1 “¡No se olviden de compartir y de hacer el bien, pues tales sacrificios son los que agradan a Dios.». Esta escritura nos anima a comprometernos con el espíritu de servir al Señor. Esto significa que debemos ser apasionados por nuestras creencias y comprometernos a marcar la diferencia en el mundo. Debemos usar nuestros talentos y habilidades para servir a los demás y generar un impacto positivo en nuestras comunidades o en otras comunidades necesitadas. La colecta anual de juguetes de SKD suele comenzar el fin de semana de Acción de Gracias, cuando se coloca el árbol de los ángeles, y finalizar el segundo fin de semana de diciembre.

LAS CAMPAÑAS NO PUEDEN TENER ÉXITO SIN LA AYUDA DE VOLUNTARIOS

  • voluntarios para ayudar durante las colectas en la iglesia
  • voluntarios para armar y clasificar las mochilas y los juguetes
  • voluntarios para entregar las mochilas y los juguetes a Pahokee

Las colectas de SKD son excelentes oportunidades para enseñar a los niños los valores de la empatía y la compasión. Cuando los niños participan activamente donando o haciendo voluntariado en estos eventos, aprenden la importancia de contribuir. Estas experiencias contribuyen al desarrollo de personas con conciencia social que comprenden el impacto de sus acciones en el bienestar de los demás. Los niños que crecen en entornos donde se valora la generosidad y el apoyo comunitario tienen más probabilidades de convertirse en ciudadanos activos y comprometidos que, a su vez, contribuyen positivamente a los demás. El impacto de las colectas de mochilas y juguetes puede ir más allá de los beneficios inmediatos. Al compartir nuestras bendiciones con los demás, estamos sembrando las semillas de nuestro Padre Celestial para un futuro de esperanza para todos.

Para más información sobre cómo ser voluntario en cualquiera de las campañas, comuníquese con Marie France al (954) 683–3584.

Liturgical Catechesis: The Parts of the Mass | Issue 21 / 40

The Lord be with you.
- And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
- We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.
- It is right and just.

This short dialogue introduces the second part of the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the most profound of the priestly prayers: the Eucharistic Prayer. From the 11th century until 1969, there was only one Eucharistic Prayer used in the Western Church: the Roman Canon, which we now call Eucharistic Prayer I.

Although only the priest says the Eucharistic Prayer, he does so as the representative of the whole assembly. The rest of us should listen attentively to his words and join with full voice in the acclamations of assent: the Holy, Holy, the Memorial Acclamation, and the Great Amen.

Catequesis Litúrgica: Las partes de la Misa | Edición 21 / 40

Demos gracias al Señor, nuestro Dios.
— Es justo y necesario.

Esta pequeña conversación introduce la segunda parte de la Liturgia de la Eucaristía, la más profunda de las oraciones sacerdotales, la oración eucarística. Desde el siglo XI hasta 1969 había una sola oración eucarística en la Iglesia occidental: el Canon Romano, que hoy llamamos Oración Eucarística I.

Aunque solo el sacerdote recita la oración eucarística, lo hace representando a toda la asamblea. El resto de nosotros debe escuchar atentamente sus palabras y participar con nuestras aclamaciones de asentimiento: el Santo, la Aclamación Memorial y el Gran Amén.

What is the Purpose of the Procession?

This annual motorcade procession is a significant and now traditional event with three main goals:

  1. To promote Marian devotion under the title of Our Lady of Charity, patroness of Cuba and co-patroness of the Archdiocese of Miami.
  2. To encourage participation in events surrounding the Feast of Our Lady of Charity on September 8.
  3. To inspire visits and pilgrimages to the National Shrine in Miami, especially during this Jubilee Year.

How is the Procession Developed?

The procession takes the form of a reverent caravan or motorcade, led by a pickup truck carrying the Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of Charity, beautifully adorned with flowers. The caravan is escorted by local police and accompanied by a small group of members from the Archconfraternity of Our Lady of Charity, who follow behind the statue in prayer and devotion. When the motorcade arrives at the scheduled stop, it parks in the designated location where the prayer encounter will take place. The image does not come down from the pickup truck nor enter any of the parish buildings.

On August 23rd St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Parish is planned as the sixth stop on the route, with an estimated arrival time at 2:30pm and a departure time at 3:00pm.
