NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Fear has been the major obstacle in our loving relationship with God and with one another. St. John wrote in h is first letter: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear.” Contemporary psychology confirms John’s teaching that fear, not hate, is the real enemy of love. People fear love because it requires them to be open and vulnerable to the beloved. It demands a passion and a commitment. This makes many people nervous, whereas joyful abandonment is to be preferred to the cautious, timid commitment of ourselves to God and others. To his followers Jesus says, “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom.”

DICIANNOVESIMA DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO
In mezzo alle onde violente il Cristo ci viene incontro. Ma dal momento in cui si rivela a noi, è necessario abbandonare come Pietro la sicurezza apparente della barca e affrontare il rischio dell’incontro in mare aperto. In mezzo alle tempeste del mondo la fede del cristiano cammina incontro al suo Signore risorto. La stessa potenza divina che ha sottratto Gesù dall’abisso della morte, darà al cristiano l’audacia di sfidare la paura.

THE SECOND COLLECTION TODAY is for the Catholic Communication Campaign, which provides a way to help bring the Gospel message into homes not only in our community, but also nationally. Your support of the Catholic Communication Campaign funds our archdiocesan website, www.adw.org, ensures we can bring the Sunday TV Mass to thousands of homebound parishioners each week and Christ’s message of hope over the airwave via our Spanish-language radio program as well as supporting the Catholic Standard. Please help bring the Gospel to the world by generously supporting the Catholic Communication Campaign collection next Sunday.
