WELCOME THE VISITING MADONNA While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross, perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful is to turn to the Blessed Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As human beings, we can’t do everything. But the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do wonders. The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that every family may experience visitation for one week from our Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email him at [email protected]. This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to Nello & Fran Signorino at the 12:00 Noon Mass.

A Prayer for Hurricane Season O God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son on our behalf, so that we are spared from the calamities common to this area, and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen.

NO SECOND COLLECTION This Week SECOND COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND

PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Saint John Paul II spoke about World Mission Sunday as a day when the Church faithful make an offering to God for distribution to the missionaries of the world. “The offerings that will be collected are destined for a common fund of solidarity distributed, in the Pope’s name, by the Society for the Propagation of the Faith among the missions and missionaries of the entire world.” Every year the needs of the Catholic Church in the Missions grows; new dioceses are formed, new seminaries are opened, long suppressed areas now open to hear the gospel message of Christ and areas devastated by war or natural disasters are rebuilt. The involvement and commitment of Catholics around the world is so urgently needed. Approximately 1,100 missionary dioceses receive assistance from this vital fund. In our Diocese, the Office of the Propagation of the Faith has been actively involved in mission work in Fiji and Nigeria. This summer Msgr. Lofton helped to install a dedication plaque in the newly completed church in the village of Nasalesele, thanks to your generosity. The village of Nawi will see construction begin on a new church after their old sanctuary was torn down because of severe deterioration. Again, your generosity made this possible. I urge all the faithful in the Diocese of Charleston to be active participants in the World Mission Sunday offering. Vatican II in the document, Ad Gentes, reminds us that the Church is never more Church than when it is in mission. Your offering on World Mission Sunday will allow you personally to be a missionary for Christ. In the Lord’s Peace, Most Reverend Robert E. Guglielmone Bishop of the Diocese of Charleston.

Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar

VIGESIMO OCTAVO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO "SEÑOR, QUE TENGO QUE HACER PARA ENTRAR A LA VIDA ETERNA" (San Marcos 10,17-30) Queridos Hermanos: El Evangelio de este Domingo, nos cuenta que un joven, "honrado, impecable y piadoso, educado y profundamente cumplidor de la Ley", se presenta ante Jesús y con gran respeto religioso se pone de rodillas frente a El. Aquel joven le pregunta a Jesús: "¿Qué tengo que hacer para entrar a la Vida Eterna?." Jesús le recuerda los Mandamientos, especialmente los deberes para con el prójimo. Aquel joven se cree un gran cumplidor de todo. Y por eso responde: "Todo eso lo he cumplido desde muy joven." Jesús lo mira con gran cariño y le abre una posibilidad al seguimiento: "Anda, vende todo lo que tienes, dáselo a los pobres... Y luego ven y sígueme." Es decir; Jesús lo invita a salir de las preocupaciones de su propia vida, salir de sus seguridades, salir de su egoísmo, salir de "hombre ético y moralista" a ser verdadero DISCIPULO DE JESUS. Jesús no está en contra ni de la pobreza ni de la riqueza. Lo que a Jesús le interesa es que las personas sepan compartir lo poco o mucho que tienen, que sean responsables frente a los demás, que se colaboren y se apoyen mutuamente. Pero este joven, no está dispuesto a aceptar la invitación de Jesús. Este joven no está dispuesto a compartir lo que Dios le ha regalado. Para este joven, el paso del tener al compartir; de la seguridad a la inseguridad; del privilegio social a la marginación; le causa horror, no está dispuesto a pagar ese precio, ni siquiera para ganar la Vida Eterna." Por lo tanto; aquel joven apenas escuchó las palabras de Jesús; "se puso muy triste y se alejó porque era muy rico". Qué tristeza; que la riqueza de aquel joven, lo hizo alejarse de Jesús. Los discípulos, al escuchar a Jesús, también quedan desconcertados y perplejos. Ellos tampoco pueden comprender las palabras de Jesús, puesto que ellos todavía tienen la mentalidad judía: "Los ricos son bendecidos por Dios y los pobres son castigados por Dios." Pero Jesús concluye diciendo: "Para los hombres es imposible pero para Dios todo es posible". Muchos ricos que saben compartir con los pobres, lo que Dios les ha regalado, pueden entrar al Reino de los cielos. Dios no quiere que caigamos en la tentación de poseer y acaparar, sino saber compartir. Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a vivir como comunidad de amor, y sepamos compartir con los demás, lo que Dios nos ha regalado. Dios los bendiga. Padre Orlando.

EVANGELIZACION CATEQUESIS PARA ADULTOS (R.I.C.A.) El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos es un proceso de conversión y crecimiento espiritual, que toma tiempo, en nuestra relación con Dios y la Iglesia. Es un camino de fe donde los adultos están totalmente bienvenidos en la Iglesia Católica. Si usted está interesado en la exploración de una relación con Jesucristo y se a preguntado acerca de la Iglesia Católica, o convirtiéndose a la fe católica, la iniciación en la Iglesia Católica a través de la celebración de los sacramentos del Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía. LE DAMOS UNA CORDIAL BIENVENIDA! Para obtener más información acerca del proceso, R.I.C.A. por favor póngase en contacto con la Hermana Glafira Ortega a los teléfonos 843-742-0341 o 249-2356.
