- Feast of the Queenship of Mary
  
  August 16
  
  Thursday, August 22 is the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. Venerable Pius XII established this feast in 1954. The dogma of the Assumption, which we celebrated last week, leads in a natural way to the Feast of Mary’s Queenship. Since the first centuries, Christian art has represented Mary as Queen, surrounded by angels and seated on a royal throne. Click the article title for more information.

From the Pastor's Desk

Dear Parishioners:

“Go, set the world on fire!” was exhortation of Saint Ignatius of Loyola to the priests of the Society of Jesus. It is the appeal of Christ to every disciple. Zeal is the hallmark of the saints. Mediocre Christians are not what the Church or our world needs. How often we gradually settle into a routine—living like those around us. After a while, compromises with the world can become less hard to make and our spiritual life can begin to grow cold. Today’s Gospel calls us to resist this temptation and to have a zeal, to be so “on fire” with love for the Faith that we shall want to share it with others.

Our celebration of Mass and reception of the Eucharist should ignite God’s fire within us. In the 3 ^rd century, Origen said “Whoever draws near Christ draws near the fire.” St. Catherine of Siena said, “If you are what you should be, you will set the world ablaze!” Mass is the place where Christ helps us to become who we should be. In our prayer of thanksgiving after receiving the Lord in Holy Communion, how often have we prayed that we might be more zealous in living and spreading the faith?

My prayer this week is that every member of our parish be so zealous as to set Hamilton ablaze with the fire of Christ’s truth and love!
With affection,
Msgr. Gervasio

Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,
“Ale mete mond lan sou dife!” se te deklarasyon St Ignase de Loyola te fè ak pè yo ki nan Sosyete Jezi a. Se appel sa Jezi Kri fè a chak disip. Zèl nan Kris la se mak fabrik sen yo. Kretyen ki mediok se pa sa Legliz epi mònd lan bezwen. Konbyen fwa nou plonje nou nan youn routine-viv tankou sila yo ki ozanviron nou. Aprè yon titan, li ka vini moins di pou kapab rive fè youn ak mond lan epi lavi spirityèl nou kapab frèt. Levanjil jodia mande nou pou resiste tantasyon sa epi genyen yon zèl, pou n enflame avèk lanmou lafwa ke nou ap gen pou pataje avèk lot yo.

Selebrasyon lamès nou yo epi resevwa Lekaristie kapab mete dife Bondye nan nou. Nan 3em sièk, Origen te di “Nempòt moun ki rete prè Kris la rete prè dife.” St Catherine of Siena te di, “Si ou sa ou ye, ou dwe fè mond lan briye!” Lamès se espas kote Kris la ede nou pou nou vini sa nou dwe ye. Nan Lapriyè pou di mèsi aprè nou resevwa Granmèt la nan la kominyon . konbyen fwa nou lapriyè pou nou rive gen plis zèl nan viv epi simaye lafwa.?

Priyè mwen pou semen sa se pou chak manm pawas la rive gen zèl sa konsa Hamilton ap gen pou briye avèk dife laverite ak lanmou Kris la.
Avèk afeksyon,
Msgr Gervasio
