ASSOCIATE PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3

oday’s celebration of the Lord’s Day falls between the memorials of two martyrs or groups of martyrs. Yesterday, October 17, was the memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch. Tomorrow, October 19, is the memorial of Saints John de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues and Companion martyrs. Since the words martyr and martyrdom are used by other religions and can even be used in relation to a purely secular mind set, it may be beneficial to take a look at the

Catholic understanding of martyrs and martyrdom.

A martyr is someone who bears witness to the truth with his or her own life. For this reason, the Catechism of the Catholic Church treats martyrdom with the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Ex 20:16). “Martyrdom is the supreme witness given to the truth of the faith: it means bearing witness even unto death. The mar-tyr bears witness to Christ who died and rose, to whom he is united by charity. He bears witness to the truth of the faith and of Christian doctrine. He endures death through an act of fortitude” (CCC 2473).

St. Ignatius of Antioch was martyred around 110 AD for refusing to worship the Roman gods. In one of the letters he wrote while being transported to Rome, St. Ignatius explained: “All the pleasures of the world, and all the kingdoms of this earth, shall profit me nothing. It is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth. ‘For what shall a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?’ Him I seek, who died for us: Him I desire, who rose again for our sake. This is the gain which is laid up for me.”

Saints John de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues, and six others were Jesuit missionaries sent to evangelize the Native American Indians between northern New York and southeastern Canada (at the time this was called New France). They were martyred between 1642 and 1649. The first to be martyred, Rene Goupil was struck with a tomahawk for making the Sign of the Cross on some children he was catechizing. Some, like Isaac Jogues, were captured and mis-treated for a time by one tribe of Indians or another before escaping or being released. After spending some time in Europe to recuperate, St. Isaac Jogues willing returned to New France so he could continue evangelizing the Indians. He was ultimately martyred. The martyrs are examples of men and women who remained faithful to Christ. They show that it is possible, by God’s grace, to remain faithful in difficult situations. All holy martyrs of God, pray for us! Father Richard Yevchak, IVE

One of the particular charisms of the IVE (Institute of the Incarnate Word) is to preach the Spiritual Exercises according to Ignatius of Loyola. The priests are specially trained for this, and are sought out by many in their parishes, seminar-ies, and houses of formation on both East and West coasts, but never before have they held them in Minnesota– until this year!

Father Mariano Varela, IVE is preaching the Spiritual Exercises at Schoenstatt retreat center in Sleepy Eye, Mn from Jan 4-7, 2016. There are only a number of spots available for this retreat, so if you are interested please contact the Parish office at 388-2995. Deadline for registration is November 1st. Registration infor-mation is on the bulletin board in the Gather Area.

This retreat is silent, and includes all meals, Mass, Confession, Talks, Personal Spiritual Direction, and lodging at the beautiful Schoenstatt Retreat Center. The fee of $70/day for 3 full days is made payable to Schoenstatt, and supports the Sisters and their facilities.

OCTOBER 18, 2015 4

PHÚC ÂM: Mc 10, 35-45 (bài dài) "Con Người đến để ban mạng sống Mình làm giá cứu chuộc cho nhiều người". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Marcô. Khi ấy, Giacôbê và Gioan con ông Giêbêđê đến gần Chúa Giêsu và thưa Người rằng: "Lạy Thầy, chúng con muốn Thầy ban cho chúng con điều chúng con sắp xin Thầy". Người hỏi: "Các con muốn Thầy làm gì cho các con?" Các ông thưa: "Xin cho chúng con một người ngồi bên hữu, một người ngồi bên tả Thầy trong vinh quang của Thầy". Chúa Giêsu bảo: "Các con không biết các con xin gì. Các con có thể uống chén Thầy sắp uống và chịu cùng một phép rửa Thầy sắp chịu không?" Các ông đáp: "Thưa được". Chúa Giêsu bảo: "Chén Thầy uống, các con cũng sẽ uống, và phép rửa Thầy sắp chịu, các con cũng sẽ chịu. Còn việc ngồi bên hữu hay bên tả Thầy, thì không thuộc quyền Thầy ban, nhưng là dành cho những ai đã được chỉ định". Mười môn đệ kia nghe chuyện đó liền bực tức với Giacôbê và Gioan. Chúa Giêsu gọi các ông lại gần mà bảo: "Các con biết rằng những người được coi là lãnh tụ các nước, thì sai khiến dân chúng như ông chủ, và những người làm lớn thì lấy uy quyền mà trị dân. Còn các con không như thế. Trái lại, ai trong các con muốn làm lớn, thì hãy tự làm đầy tớ anh em. Và ai muốn thành người cầm đầu trong các con, thì hãy tự làm nô lệ cho mọi người. Vì chính Con Người cũng không đến để được phục vụ, nhưng để phục vụ và ban mạng sống mình làm giá cứu chuộc cho nhiều người". Đó là lời Chúa.

XXIX DOMINGO TIEMPO ORDINARIO 18 DE OCTUBRE DE 2015

LA OBRA DIVINA DE SALVACIÓN La obra de Dios de la salvación es el enfoque de las lecturas este fin de semana. Desde el acontecer proféti-co de Isaías hasta la visión de Jesús sobre la condición humana en Hebreos, y terminando con el rescate que paga Jesús por nosotros en san Marcos, Dios está al mando. Puede que ocurran caídas e incomprensiones por el camino. Puede que nos alejemos de Dios, pero Dios nos trae de vuelta a su lado mediante la conver-sión. Al igual que Santiago y Juan, a veces dejamos que la avaricia y el poder empañen nuestra visión de lo que Jesús nos quiere enseñar sobre el Reino; pero sin tregua nos enseña y nos repite cómo ha de ser la vida en el Reino. Jesús ha pagado por nuestro rescate para garantizar que compartamos el Reino con él. No es raro que pensemos sobre el rescate que pagó Jesús en términos de un castigo que tuvo que sufrir. Sin embargo, es más acertado y más como Jesús, reconocer que el rescate es un regalo de Dios para nosotros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Rom 4:20-25; Lc 1:69-75; Lc 12:13-21 Martes: Rom 5:12, 15b, 17-19, 20b-21; Sal 40 (39):7-10, 17; Lc 12:35-38 Miércoles: Rom 6:12-18; Sal 124 (123):1b-8; Lc 12:39-48 Jueves: Rom 6:19-23; Sal 1:1-4, 6; Lc 12:49-53 Viernes: Rom 7:18-25a; Sal 119 (118):66, 68, 76-77, 93-94; Lc 12:54-59 Sábado: Rom 8:1-11; Sal 24 (23):1b-4ab, 5-6; Lc 13:1-9 Domingo: Jer 31:7-9; Sal 126 (125):1-6; Heb 5:1-6; Mc 10:46-52

Domingo Mundial de las Misiones En todos los países del mundo hoy se hace ora-ción por las misio-nes y por los misio-neros que se encar-gan de llevar la palabra de Dios a los que no lo cono-cen o a los que lo han olvidado. ¿Por qué se dedica este día a las misiones? Se tiene un domingo dedicado a las misiones porque todas las personas necesitamos de Dios para poder lle-gar al cielo. Los misioneros tienen como tarea enseñar-nos el Evangelio para poder alcanzar la vida eterna. Su labor es de capital importancia. Un poco de historia Los misioneros son personas que van a otros lugares para hablar a los hombres de Jesús, para enseñarles a rezar, para decirles que todos debemos amarnos y ayu-darnos los unos a los otros, para anunciarles la buena nueva: que Dios nos ama y quiere que todos los hom-bres se salven. En el mundo existen actualmente 983 "territorios de misión" y en ellos trabajan casi 50 mil sacerdotes y 370 mil catequistas, casados o solteros, que trabajan a tiem-po completo o parcial. Todos estos misioneros se han comprometido a anun-ciar el Evangelio a los 3,500 millones de hombres que todavía no lo conocen y que representan las dos terce-ras partes de la humanidad. ¿Cuál es su labor? Atienden leprosorios, hospitales, hogares para huérfa-nos y ancianos, dispensarios, colegios, universidades. Su labor no es fácil, se les presentan muchas dificulta-des que tienen que vencer para lograr transmitir la pa-labra de Dios a los demás. Necesitan de nuestra ayuda espiritual, humana y material. Los misioneros son personas que van a otros lugares para hablar a los hombres de Jesús llevándoles el Evan-gelio. La labor de un misionero es muy valiosa. Mensaje del Santo Padre Francisco para la Jornada mundial de las Misio-nes 2015 Oración María, ayúdanos a anunciar y dar testimo-nio de Cristo y del Evangelio en el lugar donde nos encontremos. Si quieres conocer una obra de apostola-do internacional formada por jóvenes y familias que buscan responder al llamado de la Nueva Evangeliza-ción visita el sitio de Juventud y Familia Misionera
