ETERNAL WISDOM

Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Antes, dirijam-se às ovelhas perdidas de Israel."

As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’^d

"Por onde forem, preguem esta mensagem: ‘O Reino dos céus está próximo’."

Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give. (Matthew 10: 6-8)

"Curem os enfermos, ressuscitem os mortos, purifiquem os leprosos, expulsem os demônios. Vocês receberam de graça; dêem também de graça." (Mateus 10: 6-8)

POSTSCRIPT

---

P.S. By the way, the WYD website says that everyone is welcome to attend WYD Lisbon 2023, and that if anyone needs specific information because of a motor/sensory/intellectual disability, pilgrims are invited to contact WYD at pilgrimswithdisability@lisboa2023.org.³

P.P.S. Please keep reading to learn some new music, and explore where to find the sacraments and mass times in Lisbon, etc.

P.P.P.S. Father Peter’s Rosary prayer group reminded me the other day that August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He explained that, “It is Immaculate because she was conceived without sin and also because her Heart is completely united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.” If possible, try teaching someone how-to-pray the Holy Rosary anytime this month. Click here for a how-to video led by Fr. Peter Turrone from Holy Rosary Church. Dr. Blythe Kaufman explains this Rosary at the end. ✞

✞ WHERE TO FIND THE SACRAMENT of RECONCILIATION in LISBON

According to OSV:

“Pope Francis will have nine events with young people, including hearing their confessions and eating lunch with them, during his Aug. 2-6 trip to Portugal.”

Below are some other options compiled for visitors to Lisbon this week and during the rest of the summer:

• Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Porta do Céu

  P. Carlos Santamaria

  Confissões: 16:00

https://portadoceu.org/

• Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Loreto

  Confissões: 16:00h

https://www.igrejadoloreto.pt/?lang=en

• Igreja de São João de Brito

  Pároco - Pe. João Valente

  Confissões: 17:00h

https://paroquiasjbrito.pt/

• Igreja Paroquial

  Confissões: 17:00h

• Paróquia da Sagrada Família do Calhariz de Benfica

  Confissões: 18:30h

https://www.paroquiafamilia.net/

NOTE: This list is not exhaustive, and we have not yet had time to investigate by the time of this post the languages offered at these parishes, most of which are in Portuguese but may also be in English and/or French depending on which pastors are available.

With the influx of what is expected to be 1.5 million people to Lisbon, there may be a priest from abroad who has a little time to offer a short general confession. Pray to the Holy Spirit and ask for assistance. God will provide. SEE ALSO: https://www.patriarcado-lisboa.pt/site/index.php?cont_=70&tem=61

RECAP: HELP OTHERS AT WORLD YOUTH DAY TO GRASP THE ROLE OF THE SACRAMENTS

AUGUST INTENTIONS:

---

At the end of the Rosary, we pray collectively as the Mystical Body of Christ for the Pope’s intentions for the Catholic Church.

Below is the briefing from the Holy See Press Office transcribing His Holy Father’s latest video expressing these intentions.

Video Message of the Holy Father

Questions and final prayer, recited by the young

When I go to the church in my neighborhood, I see only old people. Is the Church only for old people? 

The Church is not an old people’s club any more than it is a youth club. If it becomes something for old people, it will die. Saint John Paul II used to say that if you live with young people you become young yourself. The Church needs young people so it doesn’t grow old. 

Dear Pope Francis, why did you choose the theme “Mary arose and went with haste” for this WYD? 

Because as soon as Mary knew she was going to be the mother of God, she didn’t stay there taking a selfie or showing off. The first thing she did was to set out on a journey, in haste, to serve, to help. You too have to learn from her to set out on a journey to help others.

What is your hope for WYD in Lisbon?

In Lisbon, I would like to see a seed for the world’s future. A world where love is at the center, where we can sense that we are sisters and brothers. We are at war; we need something else. A world that is not afraid of witnessing to the Gospel. A joyful world – because if we Christians have no joy, we are not credible, no one will believe us.

Let us pray that the World Youth Day in Lisbon will help us young people to set out on the journey, witnessing to the Gospel with our own lives.

FOOTNOTES

Lê a mensagem que o Dom Manuel Clemente deixou a todos os peregrinos da #JMJ #Lisboa2023:

1. Lisboa e as cidades vizinhas estão prontas para vos receber e partilhar convosco o melhor que têm, que é a hospitalidade dos seus habitantes.

Sintam-se verdadeiramente em casa!

Sobretudo nesta grande casa que a Igreja de Cristo tem de ser, com a porta aberta a todos. Se todos cabem no coração de Deus, também devem caber no nosso e assim será de facto.

Tudo foi preparado para que estes dias, em torno do Papa Francisco, nos façam mais proximos e solidários, uns com os outros e para o mundo inteiro, que precisa de rejuvenescer também!

Convosco e para vós,

+ Manuel Clemente, Cardeal-Patriarca de Lisbon
