From the Desk of the Pastor

(Continued on page 3) (Continúa en la página 3)

Dear Parishioners,Each year on July 31st we celebrate the feast of St. Ig-

natius Loyola, the patron and namesake of our parish. Born in 1491, Ignatius was at first a brave, committed sol-dier. Sometime after the battle of Pamplona in 1521, he begins a conversion that would turn his life around. He would become a pilgrim, mystic, priest, teacher, spiritual guide and writer, the founder of a religious order, and a brave, committed disciple of Christ who shaped our Catholic tradition with a distinct spirituality.

That spirituality is cap-tured, of course, in his Spiritual Exercises. Part of his spirituality is also cap-tured in what are known as the Scintillae Ignatianae (or Sparks of Ignatius). Initial-ly compiled in 1715 from Ignatius’ letters and other writings by Jesuit scholar Gabriel Hevenesi, this col-lection of 365 maxims, one for every day of the year, continues to challenge, en-lighten and encourage us today. Here are a few that I hope you might reflect upon during these longer summer days.

There is only one worthy ambition – to love God, and as a reward of that love to grow in loving Him.

Take care lest the children of the world spend more care and attention on transitory things than you do on seeking those that are eternal.

Lord, what do I desire except You. What could I wish for besides You?

It is not enough that I should serve God by myself: I must help the hearts of all to love him and the tongues of all to praise him.

Nothing is more pleasant than to love God, provided this love moves you to undergo many tribulations.

If you wish to advance in the love of God, speak of it. Spiritual conversations are to charity what the wind is to flame.

God love me. He loves me much more than I love myself.I prefer the servants of God to stand out in virtue rather than in

number, and to be distinguished more by deeds than by an honorable name.

You may be sure that the progress you make in spiritual things will be in proportion to the degree of your withdrawal from self-love

Estimados feligreses:Cada año, el 31 de julio, celebramos la fiesta de San

Ignacio de Loyola, el santo patrón de nuestra parroquia. Nacido en 1491, Ignacio fue, al principio, un soldado valiente y comprometido. Algo después de la batalla de Pamplona, en 1521, comenzó una conversión que cambi-aría completamente su vida. Se convertiría en peregrino, místico, sacerdote, maestro, guía espiritual y escritor, el fundador de una orden religiosa, y un valiente y compro-metido discípulo de Cristo que moldeó nuestra tradición

católica con una distintiva espiritualidad.

Esa espiritualidad está captada, por supuesto, en sus Ejercicios Espirituales. Parte de su espiritualidad también está captada en lo que se conoce como la Scintillae Ignatianae (o Chispas Ignacianas). Ini-cialmente compilada en 1715 a partir de las cartas de Ignacio y otros escritos por el académico jesuita

Gabriel Hevenesi, esta colección de 365 máximas, una para cada día del año, continúa desafiándonos, iluminán-donos y animándonos hoy. He aquí algunas, que espero que ustedes reflexionen durante estos largos días del ve-rano.

Solo hay una ambición digna – amar a Dios, y como recompensa de ese amor, crecer en amarlo.

Cuida de que los hijos del mundo no les presten más atención y cuidado a las cosas transitorias que a buscar las que son eternas.

Señor, ¿qué más anhelo sino a Ti? ¿Qué más deseo además de Ti?

No es suficiente que sirva a Dios por mí mismo: debo ayudar a los corazones de todos para amarlo y las lenguas de todos para alabarlo.

No hay nada más placentero que amar a Dios, siempre que este amor los mueva a sobrellevar muchas tribulaciones.

Si quieres avanzar en el amor de Dios, habla sobre él. Las con-versaciones espirituales son a la caridad lo que el viento es al fuego

Dios me ama. Me ama mucho más de lo que yo me amo.Prefiero que los servidores de Dios se distingan por su virtud que

por su número, y distinguirse aún más por los hechos que por un

and concern for your own welfare. The way to avoid distress and affliction of mind in this world is

to strive to conform our will wholly to God’s. Never say or do anything until you have asked yourself whether

it will be pleasing to God, good for yourself, and edifying to your neighbor.

Go and set the whole world on fire. Blessings,

Fr. JoeNote: This letter previously appeared in our July 29, 2018 bulletin. In April of this year, we published on-line and had a Zoom seminar on the prayer and meditation book, “With Christ Alive.” Some of these Scintillae Ignatianae were interspersed at the start of each of the 7-weeks of Jesuit reflections compiled for the 50-day Easter season. I hope these sparks will once again provide all of us a bit of summer spiritual inspiration and enrichment as we approach St. Ignatius Day this Friday.

nombre honorable.Pueden estar seguros de que el progreso que hagan en las cosas

espirituales será en proporción al grado de apartamiento del amarse a uno mismo y a la preocupación por su propio bienestar.

La manera de evitar la angustia y la aflicción de la mente en este mundo es esforzándose por ajustar totalmente nuestra voluntad con la de Dios.

Nunca digan o hagan algo sin preguntarse si será agradable a Dios, bueno para ustedes y edificante para su prójimo.

Vayan y enciendan el mundo.Con Bendiciones:

P. JoeNota: Esta carta apareció anteriormente en nuestro bo-letín del 29 de julio de 2018. En abril de este año, publica-mos en línea y tuvimos un seminario Zoom sobre el libro de oración y meditación, "Con Cristo vivo". Algunos de estas Scintillae Ignatianae se intercalaron al comienzo de cada una de las 7 semanas de reflexiones jesuitas compi-ladas para los 50 días de la época de Pascua. Espero que estas chispas nos proporcionen una vez más a todos un poco de inspiración espiritual y enriquecimiento para el verano, a medida que nos acercamos al Día de San Igna-cio este viernes.

7/Seventeenth Sunday

Notice:Dr. Anthony Compagnone, a parishioner and member of the Liturgy

Commission, has advised us that masks are effective ONLY if they cover both your nose and your mouth, with a snug fit over the nasal bridge. This is the best way to prevent your

respiratory droplets from escaping into the space around you and onto others.

Further, he pointed out that recent studies have shown that, while valved masks may make it easier for you to inhale, they are ineffective in preventing your exhaled breath from

contaminating the air around you.

Valved masks of any kind, therefore, will be prohibited for use during Mass at St. Ignatius. The Greeter at your liturgy will happily provide you with an acceptable mask to wear as you enter the church. We also ask that you wear your mask properly throughout the Mass.

This is for the safety of us all. We appreciate your cooperation.-Fr. Joe

Action:Switch from Shower Gel to Bar Soap During ‘Plastic Free July,' Posted on June 28, 2020 by Green Newton

One way to decrease the amount of plastic we have in our lives is to eliminate single use plastic bottles that hold shampoo, conditioner, and liquid soaps and opt for bar equivalents. Bar soaps come in different blends to suit

body washing, face wash, shampoo and shaving, so your line-up of bottles may become a line-up of bars. You may never go back to the bottle.

Tip: check the ingredients of the soap to ensure they don’t contain palm oil who’s production plays a role in deforestation.
