WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE PRAYERS AT MASS? At Masses today, Catholic parishes in the United States are for the first time in about forty years using a new English translation of all the prayers. These prayers are found in The Roman Missal, the large book that we are accustomed to seeing the priest use at our Eucharistic liturgies. In the early part of this century, the late Blessed Pope John Paul II called for the original Latin Missal (the official prayer book for Mass for the entire Catholic Church worldwide) to be re-translated into the various languages prayed throughout the world. In particular, he and other Church leaders felt that the English translation could be improved. He called for new translations that would be much more like the Latin texts upon which they are based, so that all Catholics throughout the world would become more closely united by praying translations that were closer to the original. The words that we pray at Mass express our beliefs; it is important that the translations capture and express these beliefs clearly. The translation process has come to a culmination now, and today we begin using this new translation at Mass. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Monitoring Your Child’s Text Messages Recent news reports included the story of a 35-year-old man exchang-ing explicit text messages with a 14-year-old girl. Being able to recog-

nize text messaging “meeting codes” can help parents be more effective monitors of their child’s safety. Meeting codes are used by strangers to

gain information about people they don’t know or to arrange a first meeting. They can be used between friends, but most are more com-

monly used in other circumstances. For example, “S2R” means “Send to receive (pictures),” and “WYRN” means “What’s your real name?”

A helpful tutorial for parents is located at www.mahalo.com. Type: “How to understand your kids’ text messages” in the search box. For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

El significado de la palabra “¡Adviento!” es muy

interesante. Viene del latín y quiere decir “Allí viene” o

“Ya está llegando”. Pero, ¿de quién hablamos cuando

proclamamos “adviento”? ¿Del Rey de la Gloria?, ¿del Príncipe de la Paz?, ¿del Hijo del Dios Altísimo?, ¿del Salvador de

Israel? Sí, sí, sí y otra vez, sí, pero más todavía del Hijo del Hombre, del niñito de María. Allí viene y ya está llegando.

Tenemos que estar preparados. Pero ¿cómo prepararnos para la llegada de un rey que es pobre?, ¿de un príncipe que nació entre

una mula y un buey? ¿de un niñito que ya es todo un hombre

y además es Dios? He allí el dilema del Adviento cristiano.

Es un llamado a vivir la paradoja de un tiempo que está a medias, donde el Reino de los Cielos ya existe pero no en su

plenitud. Es un llamado a buscar en el templo, en el mall, en el barrio, en el hogar y en el

propio corazón, para ver si “allí viene” el dueño de la

casa. Es un llamado a estar atentos y vigilantes.
