RUBÉN Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family: Thank you to all the people who worked very hard in preparing and decorating the float for McHenry’s Fiesta Days Parade. Despite the heat, many families from around the area came out and enjoyed the parade. It was a great joy to see the participation and unity of the three parish in McHenry. Though we all have our unique differences, St. Patrick, St, Mary, and the Church of the Holy Apostles came together to show this unity to our brothers and sisters in Christ. So thank you for your willingness to build up and be wonderful witness to the City of McHenry. This weekend Father Joseph Jablonski, a missionary priest with the Sacred Heart will be with us. Father is here on behalf of his order, asking for support for his religious community and the many missions they have in South America, Canada, Australia and here in the United States. Thanks to the generosity of the people of God, the missionaries continue to carry the word of God to remote locations, and help the needy. May God multiply the generosity of each one of you. God bless and have a wonderful weekend.

Pagina 9 Décimo Octavo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Año del Jubileo de la Misericordia Lo que debemos saber sobre la Puerta Santa. Han pasado más de ocho meses desde que el Papa Francisco dio inicio al Jubileo de la Misericordia abriendo la Puerta Santa de la Basílica de San Pedro en el Vaticano, tras lo cual se abrieron otras en todo el mundo. La Puerta Santa permite que una persona, en el marco del Año Santo, gane una indulgencia plenaria si cumple con los requisitos mínimos. Pero : 1.- ¿Qué es una Puerta Santa? La puerta es un “símbolo humano” y ha estado presente desde siempre en todas las culturas. “El hombre tiene unas actitudes respecto a la puerta”: entrar y salir. Por ejemplo: “todos le decimos a un amigo ‘Oye mi casa está abierta, cuando quieras llama a la puerta’ y a un enemigo le dices ‘no te quiero ver más por esta puerta’”. En el caso de una Puerta Santa también se entra y se sale pero hay un elemento importante: se derraman unas bendiciones y gracias especiales cuando la cruzamos. En un Jubileo, la Puerta Santa sirve para “indicar a los fieles que pasar por la puerta de la iglesia significa una actitud de acogida, de agradecimiento, de pedir perdón, de pedir nuevas gracias o saber con seguridad que vamos a recibir una bendición y eso es lo que significa”, 2.- ¿Qué significa pasar por la Puerta Santa? Cada vez que cruzamos una Puerta Santa ganamos una gracia especial y esa es la indulgencia plenaria. Cruzar la Puerta Santa supone una “renovación” y una “actitud de conversión y de arrepentimiento”. “La Puerta Santa significa todas esas cosas buenas y renovadas que tiene que poner el cristiano para cambiar de vida”. Cuando Cristo se refiere a sí mismo como la “puerta” significa que la persona encontrará en Él “la salvación, la seguridad, la acogida y el calor. Todas las condiciones para que esté seguro el redil dentro de la puerta y el que entre por ella está en libertad. Puede entrar y salir”. 3.- ¿Por qué la Puerta Santa solo se abre en un Jubileo? En el Nuevo Testamento hay una palabra llamada “kairos” que hace referencia al tiempo más propicio en el que Dios concede todos sus bienes. “Sabemos que Dios está listo para concedernos sus bienes en cualquier momento, pero hay un tiempo en especial donde Dios está más dispuesto a darnos lo que le pidamos. Este tiempo es el año del perdón, el Año de la Misericordia. Continuamos el próximo domingo 7 de agosto con más explicación. Feria de Ministerios Parroquiales Sábado 20 y domingo 21 de agosto al terminar las misas venga a conocer los ministerios que tiene la iglesia y pueda ser parte de uno de ellos. Limpieza de la Iglesia Segundo y cuarto miércoles de cada mes a las 6:45 PM en la iglesia. El 10 de agosto la próxima fecha, Gracias. 31 julio, 2016 El Viñedo de Raquel. Sanando el Dolor del Aborto.

Page 10 The Church of Holy Apostles, McHenry, IL Your Gifts Help Struggling Families A local family has struggled to make ends meet since their primary breadwinner was severely burned in a workplace accident. Suffering from seizures and complications from the injuries, this middle-aged man is unable to work. His wife works full time in a minimum wage job, however this meager income does not support their family of four while waiting to hear about disability. The St. Vincent de Paul Society recently helped their family by paying their overdue gas bill, providing a tank of gas for the family vehicle and providing several bags of groceries. This couple prayed with visiting Vincentians for courage and grace as well as in appreciation for God's presence in their lives. Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor. Proverbs 22:9 Help free our parish of the debt “anchor!” Make your pledge today!
