Renacimiento Eucarístico (extracto de la Carta del Obispo Auxiliar de Pittsburgh, W. Waltersheid Jul 2021) “Hemos sido golpeados por una cultura que piensa que Dios es irrelevante y que Su Palabra puede cambiarse o interpre-tarse de la forma que uno elija. Se nos ha dicho que la ver-dad del Evangelio y las enseñanzas de la Iglesia están desac-tualizadas. Encuestas recientes han revelado que alrededor del 66% de los católicos no cree que la Sagrada Eucaristía sea el Cuerpo, la Sangre, el Alma y la Divinidad de Jesucris-to. Para completar este escenario, acabamos de sufrir una pandemia que obstaculizó enormemente la misión de la Iglesia. Sí, la Iglesia ha sido golpeada pero la Iglesia NO se va a ir. Solo necesitamos un Renacimiento Eucarísti-co. Necesitamos tener los ojos abiertos para ver quién está justo frente a nosotros. Necesitamos ver con los ojos de la fe renovada quién puede revivirnos: Jesucristo vivo y entre nosotros, morando en nuestros tabernáculos y viniendo sobre nuestros altares. ¡Él es el Renacimiento Eucarísti-co que tanto necesitamos! A partir de este pasado domingo en la Misa comenzamos a escuchar una serie de pasajes del sexto capítulo del Evange-lio de San Juan que continuará hasta el próximo hasta el último domingo de agosto. Estos pasajes proclaman la ver-dad de la Presencia del Señor en la Sagrada Eucaristía de Sus propios labios. Debemos orar sobre estos pasajes del Evangelio y pedirle al Señor que aumente nuestra fe y nues-tro amor por Él presente en el Santísimo Sacramento. En el primero de estos pasajes se describe cómo Nuestro Señor alimentó a la gran multitud con solo cinco panes de cebada y dos pescados (Jn 6: 1-15). Que nuestra oración sea: "¡Renuévame, Jesús, por Tu Presencia para que pueda verte claramente en la Sagrada Eucaristía en cada Misa!"

WWW.STTERESAKOLKATAPGH.ORG St. Monica and St. Augustine St. Monica prayed unceasingly, fasted, and wept for the conversion of her son, Augustine, from his wayward lifestyle. Through the trust in God and persistent prayer of his mother, St. Augustine converted and became one of the greatest bishops and theologians of the Church. What we know of St. Monica is in great part through the accounts that St. Augus-

tine gives of her in his Confessions. "It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels." St. Augustine

St. Monica and St. Augustine, pray for us.

Come, Spirit! The presider at the Euchar ist can choose from among a number of different Eucharistic Prayers, all of which follow a similar pattern. Almost always, they begin with an epiclesis, a Greek word that means “invocation upon” or “calling over here.” At this moment in the prayer, the priest calls down the Holy Spirit upon the gifts of bread and wine that we have brought to the altar: “Father, we bring you these gifts. We ask you to make them holy by the power of your Spirit, that they may become the body and blood of your Son” (Eucharistic Prayer III). The words of the prayer are accompanied by the ritual gesture of the laying on of hands, the ancient sign of the gift of the Spirit, which is also used in most sacramental cele-brations, from the rite of confirmation to the ordination of dea-cons, priests, and bishops. Liturgists sometimes call this first epiclesis the epiclesis of consecration. Later in the Eucharistic Prayer, there will be another epiclesis, the epiclesis of commun-ion, as the priest asks that the Holy Spirit be sent upon us to transform us. “Grant that we, who are nourished by his body and blood, may be filled with his Holy Spirit, and become one body, one spirit in Christ” (Eucharistic Prayer III).—Corinna Laughlin, ©J. S. Paluch co.

St. Rose was born in Lima, Peru in 1586. As a young girl she read about Catherine of Siena and became determined to imitate the great saint. Like St. Catherine she entered the Dominican Third Order and received profound graces in prayer. She endured various mortifications for the conversion of sinners and the native Peruvians. In Peru, her feast is celebrated on August 30. St.

Rose was canonized in 1671, the first saint born in the New World.

Let us allow ourselves to be "filled" with St Joseph's silence! In a world that is often too noisy, that encourages neither recollection nor listening to God's voice, we are in such deep need of it. Pope Benedict XVI, 18 December 2005
