Pope Francis Page 3 Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time - A, 2014 DALLO SCRITTORIO DEL PARROCO FROM THE DESK OF THE PASTOR Questo fine settimana, come Famiglia Salesiana, noi celebriamo 199° compleanno di Don Bosco!! Ringraziamo Dio per il grande dono che Don Bosco è la Chiesa, soprattutto ai giovani, e per il dono che egli è stato e continuerà ad essere per la parrocchia di S. Antonio a Elizabeth. Certo, questo fine settimana è dolce-amaro per tutti noi ... ..è è difficile dire "addio", e come vi perdete la comunità salesiana, abbiamo sicuramente mancherà a tutti voi! Padre Tom, Padre Javier ed io, voglio che tu sappia che rimarrete molto nei nostri cuori e nelle nostre preghiere, come ognuno di noi va nostre strade separate. Inoltre, di S. Antonio a Elizabeth rimarrà sempre nel cuore e le preghiere della nostra provincia. Grazie per aver dato i figli di Don Bosco una casa in questi ultimi 91 anni! Tutta la nostra provincia sarà sempre grato per l'amore e il sostegno che abbiamo trovato qui ... e per la grande cura ti ha dato tanti nostri fratelli salesiani nel corso degli anni. Grazie! Mentre lasciamo oggi di S. Antonio, vogliamo che il nostro messaggio d'addio a voi di essere nelle parole di Don Bosco ... le parole che scrisse ai suoi amici come un "addio", prima che lui li ha lasciati pel cielo. Sebbene stanco e sfinito de forze, io non lasciere píù di parlarvi e raccomandarvi i miei fanciulli, che sto per abbandonare; ma pur debbo far punto e deporre la penna. Addio, miei cari Benefattori, Cooperatori Salesiani e Cooperatrici, addio. Molti di voi io non ho potuto conoscere di persona in questa vita, ma non importa: nell’altro mondo ci conosceremo tutti, e in eterno ci rallegreremo insieme del bene, che colla grazia di Dio abbiamo fatto in questa terra, specialmente a vantaggio della povera gioventù. Se dopo la mia morte, la Divina Misericordia, pei meriti di Gesù Cristo, e per la protezione di Maria Ausiliatrice, mi troverà degno di essere ricevuto in Paradiso, io pregherò sempre per voi, pregherò per le vostre famiglie, prehgerò pei vostri cari, affinchè un giorno vengano tutti a lodare in eterno la Maestà del Creatore, ad inebriarsi delle sue divine delizie, a cantare le sue infinite misericordie. Amen. Sempre Vostro obb.mo Servitore Sac. Giovanni Bosco Mentre la comunità salesiana lascia di parrocchia Sant'Antonio oggi, sapere che, come Don Bosco, vi teniamo nei nostri cuori e che sollevare voi e le vostre famiglie in preghiera ogni giorno fino a quando tutti siamo arrivati a incontrarsi di nuovo in quel giardino salesiano promesso da Don Bosco a tutti i suoi figli. Dio vi benedica! Arrivederci! Adios! Until later! This weekend, as a Salesian Family, we celebrate Don Bosco’s 199th birthday!! We thank God for the great gift that Don Bosco is to the Church, especially to young people, and for the gift that he has been and will continue to be for St. Anthony’s parish in Elizabeth. Certainly, this weekend is bitter-sweet for all of us…..it is hard to say “good-bye” and as you will miss the Salesian community, we surely will miss all of you! Father Tom, Father Javier and myself, want you to know that you will remain very much in our hearts and in our prayers as we each go our separate ways. Moreover, St. Anthony’s in Elizabeth will always remain in the heart and prayers of our province. Thank you for giving Don Bosco’s sons a home these past 91 years! All of our province will always be grateful for the love and support we have found here….and for the great care you gave so many of our brother Salesians throughout the years. Thank you! As we leave St. Anthony’s today, we want our parting message to you to be in Don Bosco’s own words….the words he wrote to his friends as a “farewell” before he left them for heaven. “Now that I am at the end of my life, and though I am tired and completely exhausted, I don’t want to leave my children without speaking to them and advising them, jotting down a few thoughts, before putting down my pen. Farewell, my dear benefactors and cooperators; farewell! I have not been able to meet many of you in person in this life, but it doesn’t matter; in the next world we will all meet each other, and in eternity, we will rejoice together over the good, that, by the grace of God, we have done on this earth, especially for the benefit of poor young people. If, after my death, the Divine Mercy, through the merits of Jesus Christ, and with the protection of Mary Help of Christians, finds me worthy of being received into paradise, I will always pray for you; I will pray for your families; I will pray for your dear ones, so that one day, in eternity, everyone will come together to praise the majesty of the Creator, and to become intoxicated with his divine joys and to sing his infinite mercies. Amen. Always your servant, Don Giovanni Bosco As the Salesian community leaves St. Anthony’s parish today, know that like Don Bosco, we hold you in our hearts and will lift you and your families in prayer every day until we all come to meet again in that Salesian Garden promised by Don Bosco to all of his children. God bless you! Arrivederci! Adios! Until later! Page 4 DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PÁRROCO Al celebrar la Familia Salesiana, este fin de semana, el 199 cumpleaños de Don Bosco, damos gracias a Dios por el don de Don Bosco a la Iglesia, especialmente a los jóvenes, y por el don que ha sido y continuará siéndolo a la parroquia de San Antonio en Elizabeth. Este fin de semana es ciertamente agridulce para todos nosotros… cuesta tener que decir “adiós” porque Ustedes echarán de menos la presencia de la comunidad salesiana, y nosotros pueden estar seguros, ¡los echaremos de menos a todos Ustedes! El P. Tom, el P. Javier y yo, queremos que sepan que los llevamos a todos Ustedes en nuestro corazón y en nuestras oraciones al ir cada uno al lugar de su destino. Y también pueden estar seguros que San Antonio se quedará en el corazón y oraciones de nuestra provincia salesiana. ¡Gracias por la hospitalidad que han ofrecido Ustedes a los hijos de Don Bosco por 91 años! Nuestra provincia estará siempre agradecida por el amor y el apoyo que hemos encontrado aquí… y por el cuidado que han tenido de tantos de nuestros hermanos Salesianos durante estos años. ¡Gracias, mil! Al dejar hoy la parroquia de San Antonio, queremos que el mensaje de despedida sea con palabras del mismo Don Bosco… las palabras que él escribió a sus amigos como el “último adiós” antes de dejarles para ir al Cielo. “Ahora que sé que he llegado al final de mi vida, y aunque estoy cansado y casi sin fuerzas, no quiero dejar a mis hijos sin hablarles y darles algún buen consejo, dejándoles escritos algunos pensamientos. ¡Adiós, mis queridos cooperadores y bienhechores; adiós! No he podido conocer a muchos de Ustedes en persona, pero da lo mismo; nos veremos en el otro mundo, y por toda la eternidad, nos regocijaremos por todo el bien que, por la gracia de Dios, hemos hecho en esta tierra, especialmente a favor de los jóvenes pobres. Si, después de mi muerte, la Divina Misericordia, por los méritos de Jesucristo, y la protección de María Auxilio de los Cristianos, me consideran digno de entrar en el paraíso, Rogaré siempre por Ustedes; rogaré por sus familias; rogaré por todas sus personas queridas, para que un día, en la eternidad, todos nos unamos para alabar la majestad del Creador, y quedemos intoxicados con el gozo divino de cantar su infinita misericordia. Siempre su servidor, Don Juan Bosco Al dejar hoy la parroquia de San Antonio, sepan que como Don Bosco, les llevamos en nuestros corazones y elevaremos nuestras oraciones al Cielo por Ustedes y por todas sus familias hasta que todos unidos nos reunamos en el Jardín Salesiano que Don Bosco prometió a sus hijos. ¡Que el Señor los bendigo a todos! Arrivederci! Adios! Until later! Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time - A, 2014 SALESIAN PASTORS OF ST. ANTHONY’S 1923—2014 1923—1931 Rev. Leonard Ruvolo, SDB 1931—1933 Rev.
