The RC Church of St. Leo Sunday, February 16, 2020
Mount Rushmore, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is the site of this magnificent carving - in the side of a mountain—of four US presidents: Washington (1st), Jefferson (3rd), Theodore Roosevelt (26th), and Lincoln (16th). Both Washington and Lincoln were born in February, and so this holiday honors them.
From de pastor desk:
If our memories go to our childhood, we will remember
how our parents corrected our behaviors and through
discipline they wanted to mold our personalities to be
good people. I am convinced that true values are
formed in the family and that is where the essential
lessons of life are learned. It is not in vain that the
family is called "Domestic Church", where one
educates, prays, celebrates.
Today Jesus in the Gospel reminds us that He has not
come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. And it is
precisely in the fulfillment of the commandments from
the heart, not from the exteriority that we can please
God and do his will. At no time feeling forced or forced
direct life, on the contrary, will produce pressure and
anguish, and finally fatigue in the fulfillment of duties
leading to act with hypocrisy and falsehood. The
invitation of the Lord is to always act in good intention
and clean heart. "Blessed are the pure in heart
because they will see God." Imagine a world moved by
the force of love and sincerity of heart, unlike we would
be even in spite of our shortcomings we would be able
to recover more easily.
This week we will have our encounter of love and
friendship, since I already put it in the hands of God to
be a moment of joy and sharing. Finally, we ask all
Reading and Eucharist ministers, Ushers, Catechists,
and assistants, and even all volunteers to bring a copy
of their official identity document with address, this
requirement is mandatory, the final deadline will be
March 8, to comply with the data update of our files.
I appreciate your understanding and wish you a nice
week.
Blessings. Father Carlos Agudelo.

EL RITO DE ELECCION SERA EL PRIMERO DE MARZO
De Conrado Hernández
Todos los años al principio de la Cuaresma llevamos a cabo EL RITO DE ELECCION. A éste deben de asistir los candidatos que van a recibir los sacramentos del Bautismo, la Sagrada Eucaristía y la Confirmación. Estos son los llamados CATECUMENOS; son los iniciados en la fe católica. Este año EL RITO DE ELECCION será el domingo, 1ro. de marzo, comenzando a las 2 de la tarde, en el 500 de la calle 19 de Brooklyn. Los candidatos saldrán de la escuela San León a las 11:30 de la mañana. Estos mismos candidatos recibirán los tres sacramentos en la Vigilia Pascual, que este año se celebrará el sábado, 11 de abril (Sábado de Gloria). Se espera que concurran siete aspirantes. Hay otro grupo que procederán a su completa iniciación.
Estos son los que recibirán los sacramentos de
Eucaristía y Confirmación, porque ya están bautizados.
Estos representan un total de 51 candidatos. Estos
asistirán a una ceremonia de iniciación el sábado, 29 de
febrero, en la iglesia de San Nicolás de Tolentino en
Queens. La ceremonia ha de comenzar a las 3 de la
tarde, pero los candidatos deben estar en el auditorio de
la academia San León a las 12: 30 del mediodía. Ellos
se unirán al grupo de catecúmenos en la gran ceremonia
de la Vigilia Pascual, el sábado, 11 de abril (Sábado de
Gloria).

Ministro Extraordinario de la Sagrada Eucaristía, Lectores, Ujieres, Voluntarios, Catequista y
Ayudante
Por favor traiga a la oficina de la rectoría su documentos oficial de identificación, Licencia de conducir, Pasaporte de Estados Unidos o de otro país con su prueba de dirección...Si no trae una prueba de identificación no podría servir en los Ministerio Parroquiales. Plazo final es el 8 de marzo de lo contrario será removido de su asignación.
Padre Carlos Agudelo, Pastor
Del escritorio del Párroco:
Si nuestras memorias se van a nuestra niñez,
recordaremos como nuestros padres corrigieron
nuestros comportamientos y a través de la disciplina
quisieron moldear nuestras personalidades para ser
personas de bien. Soy un convencido que en familia
se forman los verdaderos valores y que es allí
donde se aprenden las lecciones esenciales de la
vida. No en vano la familia es llamada “Iglesia
Domestica”, donde se educa, se ora, se celebra.
Hoy Jesús en el Evangelio nos recuerda que El no
ha venido a abolir la ley sino a darle cumplimiento. Y
es precisamente en el cumplimiento de los
mandamientos desde el corazón, no desde la
exterioridad que podremos agradar a Dios y hacer
su voluntad. En ningún momento el sentirnos
forzados u obligados direccionan la vida, por el
contrario, producirá presión y angustia, y finalmente
cansancio en el cumplimiento de los deberes
llevando a actuar con hipocresía y falsedad. La
invitación del Señor es a actuar siempre en buena
intención y corazón limpio. “Dichosos los limpios de
corazón porque ellos verán a Dios”. Imaginen un
mundo movido por la fuerza del amor y de la
sinceridad de corazón, a diferente que seriamos
incluso a pesar de nuestras falencias seriamos
capaces de reponernos con mayor facilidad.
Esta semana tendremos nuestro encuentro de amor
y amistad, desde ya lo pongo en las manos de Dios
para sea un momento de alegría y compartir.
Finalmente, les pedimos a todos los ministros
Lectores y Eucaristía, Ujieres, Catequistas, y
ayudantes, e incluso todos los voluntarios traer
copia de su documento oficial de identidad con
dirección, este requerimiento es obligatorio, el plazo
final será el 8 de marzo, para cumplir con la
actualización de datos de nuestros archivos.
Les agradezco su entendimiento y les deseo una
bonita semana.
Bendiciones. Padre Carlos Agudelo.
