What a beautiful celebration in honour of St. Joseph, Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Patron Saint of the Universal Church, and Patron Saint of Canada, our parish gathered for a beautiful and spiritual celebration.
The liturgy was prayerfully presided over by Fr.
Martin, Fr. Jesús, Fr. Isaias, and visiting priest Fr.
Kevin, whose presence enriched the solemnity of the occasion.
The celebration continued with a Solemn Mass, including the traditional Blessing of St. Joseph's Bread, a cherished sign of gratitude, humility, and trust in God's providence.
We concluded with a warm and joyful coffee hour in the parish hall, sharing fellowship, stories, and the spirit of community that St. Joseph inspires.
St. Joseph, pray for us.🙏🏽✝️🤍🤍🤍

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 11,20-24)

Jesus began to reproach the towns where most of his mighty deeds had been done, since they had not repented. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

And as for you, Capernaum: ‘Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld.’ For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in S***m, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of S***m on the day of judgment than for you.”

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 10,34-42.11,1)

Jesus said to his Apostles: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man ‘against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s enemies will be those of his household.’

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man’s reward.

And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple—amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.” When Jesus finished giving these commands to his twelve disciples, he went away from that place to teach and to preach in their towns.

Buongiorno! Oggi, 13 luglio la Parola del giorno è tratta dal Vangelo di Luca.

“Lc 10,25-37

In quel tempo, un dottore della Legge si alzò per mettere alla prova Gesù e chiese: «Maestro, che cosa devo fare per ereditare la vita eterna?». Gesù gli disse: «Che cosa sta scritto nella Legge? Come leggi?». Costui rispose: «Amerai il Signore tuo Dio con tutto il tuo cuore, con tutta la tua anima, con tutta la tua forza e con tutta la tua mente, e il tuo prossimo come te stesso». Gli disse: «Hai risposto bene; fa’ questo e vivrai».
Ma quello, volendo giustificarsi, disse a Gesù: «E chi è mio prossimo?». Gesù riprese: «Un uomo scendeva da Gerusalemme a Gèrico e cadde nelle mani dei briganti, che gli portarono via tutto, lo percossero a sangue e se ne andarono, lasciandolo mezzo morto. Per caso, un sacerdote scendeva per quella medesima strada e, quando lo vide, passò oltre. Anche un levìta, giunto in quel luogo, vide e passò oltre. Invece un Samaritano, che era in viaggio, passandogli accanto, vide e ne ebbe compassione. Gli si fece vicino, gli fasciò le ferite, versandovi olio e vino; poi lo caricò sulla sua cavalcatura, lo portò in un albergo e si prese cura di lui. Il giorno seguente, tirò fuori due denari e li diede all’albergatore, dicendo: “Abbi cura di lui; ciò che spenderai in più, te lo pagherò al mio ritorno”. Chi di questi tre ti sembra sia stato prossimo di colui che è caduto nelle mani dei briganti?». Quello rispose: «Chi ha avuto compassione di lui». Gesù gli disse: «Va’ e anche tu fa’ così».”

Gospel of the Day (Luke 10,25-37)

There was a scholar of the law who stood up to test Jesus and said, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus said to him, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”

He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” But because he wished to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man fell victim to robbers as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. They stripped and beat him and went off leaving him half-dead. A priest happened to be going down that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. Likewise a Levite came to the place, and when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side.

But a Samaritan traveler who came upon him was moved with compassion at the sight. He approached the victim, poured oil and wine over his wounds and bandaged them. Then he lifted him up on his own animal, took him to an inn and cared for him.

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper with the instruction, ‘Take care of him. If you spend more than what I have given you, I shall repay you on my way back.’ Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” He answered, “The one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
