Transfiguration Parish

Tarrytown, NY

The Vatican just published an instruction document on the parish community that encourages the whole Church to reflect on what it means and how to evangelize as a parish in the world today.  I invite all of you to read it and to think about what the instruction can mean for our parish, especially at this time. 
In the near future, I would like to open up a dialogue on the matter, so that we can pool our ideas together and move forward as a parish family in proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ.  So please pray to the Holy Spirit for wisdom and insight as you read the document below.  God bless.

Instruction on the parish community

RESPONSORIAL PSALM  9
R/. You forsake not those who seek you, O Lord.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you were already there, I embrace you and unite myself wholly to you. Permit not that I should ever be separated from you. AMEN.


PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

Lord of the Harvest,
BLESS young people with the gift of courage to respond to your call. Open their hearts to great ideals, to great things. INSPIRE all of your disciples to mutual love and giving––for vocations blossom in the good soil of faithful people. INSTILL those in religious life, parish ministries, and families with the confidence and grace to invite others to embrace the bold and noble path of a life consecrated to you. UNITE us to Jesus through prayer and sacrament so that we may cooperate with you in building your reign of mercy and truth, of justice and peace. AMEN.


MARIAN ANTHEM

Flos Carmeli
vitis florigera
Splendor caeli
virgo puerpera
singularis

Mater mitis
sed viri nescia
Carmelitis
esto propitia
stella maris.


TRANSLATION

Flower of Carmel,
Tall vine blossom laden;
Splendor of heaven,
Childbearing yet maiden.
None equals thee.

Mother so tender,
Who no man didst know,
On Carmel's children
Thy favors bestow.

You are legally required to quarantine for two weeks upon arrival in New York. 

If you do not and you are caught, you risk having tracers put on you and closing the church because of your neglectful behavior, regardless of whether you feel sick or not. 



IF YOU ARE SICK, DO NOT COME TO CHURCH!
Please see your doctor, or if you are showing flu-like symptoms or a loss of taste or smell, please go to the hospital.  Your physical health is most important at this time. 



FOLLOWING THE READINGS
For hygiene reasons, most parishes are not using missalettes, including ours.  Instead, there are a plethora of resources to help you to follow along with the readings, and even introduce you to other ways in which the Church prayers. 

I like to use ibreviary.  It is also an app that you can download to your phone.  Included are the prayers of the priest, as well as the readings of the day.  You can also use the app to pray the Office of Psalms of the Church.

Universalis is another website and app that I use.  It is very similar to ibreviary.

The US Catholic Conference of Bishops' website offers a calendar whose date you click to access the readings.  The calendar is in the sidebar on the right.
