ALIVE IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST!

SEPTEMBER 23, 2012

Like us on

It is a terrible and frightening thing we’ve all witnessed these recent days with the rioting and destruction occurring in the Muslim world. And all because of a film insulting their faith.

Observe the way that such people stand united and outraged to face an affront to their religion.

In America we’ve lost that outrage. When Jesus or Our Blessed Mother is shown in the most obscene “art” we accept it and look the other way. When our God is insulted

and disrespected we don’t stand up against the attacks to our religion. Why not?

When our Catholic faith is challenged by our government’s laws forcing us to accept rules offensive to our beliefs where is our united stand and indignation. Why doesn’t our government, our democratically

elected government, hear our concerns. Maybe we need to speak louder as Catholics.

PASTOR´S MESSAGE

THE HEALING POWER OF CHRIST

IN THE ANOINTING OF THE SICK

In light of some recent privacy motivated patient visitation changes at Boca Raton Regional Hospital,

I thought it might be a good idea to discuss the Sacraments that are so essential to our understanding

and practice of our faith. What follows below applies especially to the Holy Eucharist and to the

Anointing of the Sick, the two particularly significant Sacraments at the time of sickness or prolonged illness.

One of the unique characteristics of Roman Catholicism is our Sacred Tradition of celebrating seven

sacraments. They are often grouped into the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Holy

Eucharist), Sacraments of Healing (Penance and Anointing of the Sick), and the Sacraments of

Commitment (Marriage and Holy Orders). This system of interrelated sacraments evolved over the first

centuries of our Church’s history and are all rooted in the life and ministry of Jesus.

In fact, the truth of the sacraments is that they are all the words and actions of Christ expressed in and through the Church, the Body of Christ. Christ is the

Celebrant of all of the sacraments and it is His saving presence and activity that makes them holy, transformational and efficacious. The Priest Celebrant acting

in the person of Christ allows His presence to be visible and powerful for us. It is important to remember that because the sacraments are the words and actions

of Christ expressed in and through the Church, His Body, they are always objectively speaking an occasion of grace (power, presence and life of God). Christ’s

offering of Himself as Savior and Lord is always present, always powerful. However, subjectively speaking, our faith, preparation and participation are also

critical in determining what difference Christ’s saving words and actions will make in our lives.

The Anointing of the Sick traces its origin to the many times that Our Lord showed compassion, anointed, laid hands upon, prayed for and healed the sick

during His Public Ministry. In fact, some of the most compelling encounters that occur in the Gospels involve Jesus healing the physically disabled and those

struggling with physical or emotional illnesses. Often, Jesus would drive out demonic forces that bedeviled and kept people captive and suffering. His words of

healing and compassion had such power as to transform and set people free not only from the power of sin but also from the power of sickness and disease.

His command to His apostles and disciples was to imitate Him in their ministry to the sick and suffering, so our Church has always shown special love and care

for the sick. Sacramental healing that may be spiritual, emotional or physical continues to be Christ’s way of continuing His compassionate presence for all times.

In our parish, the Anointing of the Sick has a very important place in pastoral care. Every day, the priests and Eucharistic Ministers of our parish visit

patients in the hospital, those in hospice care and others who are home bound with the Anointing of the Sick and Holy Communion. The Anointing of the Sick

has several important elements: prayer, imposition of hands on the person’s forehead, anointing of the forehead and the hands, scripture readings and

blessings. Sometimes the Anointing of the Sick is also accompanied by Penance and often with the reception of Holy Communion. This powerful combination of

the words and actions of Christ strengthens the faith of the sick person and often is an occasion of physical healing as well.

Church practice usually reserves the Anointing of the Sick to those who have a serious or protracted illness. The sacrament may be received more than once

but a reasonable period of time between anointings is recommended. The Anointing of the Sick is such a saving encounter with Christ, that the sacrament itself

accomplishes freeing from sin especially for those who are very sick or terminally ill. Because the Anointing of the Sick is best received while the person is alert

and conscious so as to be able to actively participate, past practices when the sacrament was delayed until near death are discouraged today. It is an incredibly

powerful experience for a sick person to be surrounded by loved ones, prayed for, read scripture, anointed, blessed and given Holy Communion. As is the case

with all of the sacraments, the invisible love and power of God made visible in the words and actions of the Anointing of the Sick, make Christ as present and as

real as He was in His earthly life. True to His promise, through the sacraments, Christ The Divine Physician remains with us today and until the end of time.

Due to a newly implemented privacy policy at Boca Raton

Regional Hospital, we urgently ask that any Saint Joan of Arc

parishioner who is being admitted into the hospital call the

parish office if you would like to receive visitation from a

priest or receive Holy Communion from an Extraordinary

Minister. When being admitted to the hospital please let

them know that you are a Catholic and wish to have

clergy visitation during your stay. It is very important,

in addition, that you or a family member also contact

the parish office to ensure that you are visited and can

receive the spiritual care that should accompany the

physical care that you are receiving. Patients at

Hospice By The Sea should also inform both Hospice

and Saint Joan of Arc of their presence and desire for

pastoral visitation.

UPCOMING

EVENTS

High School

Every charitable gift of any size to St. Joan helps to

support and safeguard the financial future of our

church, its ministries and the school. There are a

variety of ways to give, and certain gifts and gift

planning techniques can generate tax benefits.

Several tax benefits related to charitable giving

are scheduled to expire, however, on December 31,

2012, along with the current reduced income tax

rates (all part of the so-called looming “fiscal cliff”

or “taxmageddon”). The good news is that there is

still time to take advantage of these opportunities in

2012, while we are sure we have them. These

opportunities include low transfer tax rates, high

transfer tax exemptions, low interest rates, low

values, low long-term capital gain rates, low

qualified dividend rates, and the tax value of

itemized deductions.

The “how” and “when” to make charitable

gifts to St. Joan are critical to maximize the tax

benefits, particularly this year. That is why St. Joan

has organized a team of fellow parishioners that are

financial advisors, accountants and attorneys to

present to you not only how to “lock in” tax

benefits available only for 2012, but also to discuss

other gifting strategies that any person or family can

incorporate into their finances to maximize their

value and impact.

We invite you to attend and learn more about

planned giving strategies at the Financial

Workshop on October 24, 2012 at 5:30 p.m. in

Our Lady of Mercy Center.

Contact Wendy Horton in the Development Office,

561-952-2838, horton_wendy@stjoan.org,

for additional information.

through September so we can review with you how simple it is for you to

exercise your constitutional right to vote. Not all countries give their citizens

the freedom to vote for the candidates of their choice. It is important for your

voice to be heard at the polls.

Your voting application must be at the election offices by October 9.

Let our volunteers assist you and answer your questions. Stop and visit us

after mass in the front of church.

the “Religious Freedom and Conscience Protection” image. Click on that image for

VOTE TO PROTECT RELIGIOUS FREEDOMThe faithful of the Diocese of Palm Beach and Floridians have an

opportunity this November to take direct action towards the protection

of religious freedom by voting ‘yes’ on both Amendments 6 and 8. Amendment 6

protects taxpayers from funding services against their conscience by prohibiting

public funds for abortion and requires parents to give their consent in order for their

child to obtain an abortion. By preserving time-honored public-private partnerships,

Amendment 8 eliminates discrimination against churches and religious organizations

that provide social services. It provides that neither the government nor any agent

of the government may deny to any individual or entity the benefits of any

program, funding, or other support on the basis of religious identity and belief.

For more information on these amendments, please visit the Florida Conference of

Catholic Bishops at www.flaccb.org. If you want to sign up for advocacy and action

alerts, look at the Take Action section of the site and click on Join The Network

and/or Grassroots Action Center. Information can also be found on the diocesan

website www.diocesepb.org.

SEPTIEMBRE 23 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 19

Ministerio Hispano

Vigésimo Quinto domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

En el Evangelio de la Misa (Mc9,29-36), San Marcos nos relata que Jesús atravesaba Galilea con los suyos, y en el camino los instruía acerca de su

muerte y resurrección. Pero los discípulos no entendían las palabras y temían preguntarle. Al contrario ellos discutían a sus espaldas sobre quien seria

el mayor. Mas tarde Jesús les dijo “Si alguien quiere ser el primero, hágase el ultimo de todos y servidor de todos.” Mandar es servir toda autoridad

es un servicio que se presta. El ejercicio de la autoridad y la obediencia en la Iglesia proceden de una misma fuente: el amor a Cristo. En la Iglesia la

autoridad se ejerce como lo hizo Cristo que no vino a ser servido sino a servir. Por eso los Papas son: “El Siervo de los siervos de Dios”. La autoridad

en la Iglesia es un gran bien, debemos obedecer como lo hizo Cristo.

COMPENDIO DEL CATECISMO

281. ¿De qué modo la Iglesia participa del Sacrificio eucarístico?

En la Eucaristía, el sacrificio de Cristo se hace también sacrificio de los miembros

de su Cuerpo. La vida de los fieles, su alabanza, su sufrimiento, su oración y

su trabajo se unen a los de Cristo. En cuanto sacrificio, la Eucaristía se ofrece

también por todos los fieles, vivos y difuntos, en reparación de los pecados de

todos los hombres y para obtener de Dios beneficios espirituales y temporales.

También la Iglesia del cielo está unida a la ofrenda de Cristo.

282. ¿Cómo está Jesucristo presente en la Eucaristía?

Jesucristo está presente en la Eucaristía de modo único e incomparable. Está

presente, en efecto, de modo verdadero, real y sustancial: con su Cuerpo y con

su Sangre, con su Alma y su Divinidad. Cristo, todo entero, Dios y hombre, está

presente en ella de manera
