MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of our community is rooted in Jesus the Christ. This mission is to hear, respond to and proclaim the word of God as found in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures.

Through the Sunday Eucharist we are called to ongoing conversion and personal spiritual formation. As a community, we are challenged to provide mutual support for a Catholic Christian lifestyle and are empowered to use our gifts to minister to the needs of others. We commit our selves to the beatitudes, to the spiritual and corporal works of mercy, and to minister to the larger communities in which we live and work. We respect the dignity of every person, at all ages and stages of life.

We hand on our Catholic heritage through catechesis, worship, service and witness.

In carrying out this mission we further the kingdom of God in our midst.

NEW VISION

Jesus proclaimed that he came into the world to make the sightless see and the seeing blind. A difficult saying! But surely it must mean that Jesus intended to take our ordinary ways of looking at things and turn them inside out. Jesus came to change our perspective. When the prophet Samuel went out to select the new king, he chose a young man who had the look of royalty about him. But God told him not to judge by appearances. God told Samuel—and today tells us—to change our perspective and to look at things and people differently. We are like the Ephesians, whom Paul urged to live as children of the light. With the light of faith, we have a new way of looking at things, and we are called to bring that new vision to the world around us. This is a great vocation, a calling to wake people up to what’s really important. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

NUEVA VISIÓN

Jesús proclamó que él vino al mundo para que los ciegos vean, y los que ven queden ciegos. ¡Algo difícil de aceptar! Pero seguramente deberá significar que Jesús quería cambiar radicalmente nuestra manera de ver las cosas. Jesús vino a cam-biar nuestra perspectiva. Cuando el profeta Samuel salió a

seleccionar un nuevo rey, escogió a un joven que tenía las apariencias de rey. Pero Dios le dijo que no juzgara por las apariencias. Dios le dijo a Samuel, y a nosotros hoy, que cambiemos nuestra perspectiva y miremos a las cosas y a las personas de manera diferente. Somos como los efesios, a quien Pablo pidió que vivie-ran como hijos de la luz. Con la luz de la fe, tenemos una nueva manera de ver las cosas y se nos pide que llevemos esa nueva visión al mundo a nuestro alrededor. Esta es una gran vocación, una llamada a despertar a la gente a lo que realmente es importante. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LITURGIA DE LAS HORAS IV

LL AA CC O L U M N AO L U M N A D E LD E L PP A S T O RA S T O R

En las últimas dos semanas he estado explicando los seis movimientos de la Misa. Me gustaría enfatizar en la parte más importante de la Misa esta semana: la Oración Eucarística. Como habrás notado en la carta de la semana pasada, aprendimos que la Eucaristía es la fuente y la cumbre de nuestra vida Cristiana y que contiene el tesoro completo de la Iglesia Católica. Es la presencia real de nuestro Señor Jesucristo en nuestro mundo de hoy. La Sagrada Eucaristía nos hace uno con Jesús cuando lo recibimos. Esta semana tuve la oportunidad de presenciar la preparación para la Ordenación Episcopal del Reverendo Myron Cotta como Obispo Auxiliar de la Diócesis de Sacramento. En su homilía, en la tarde de oración, nos recordó que cuando estamos presentes en la Sagrada Eucaristía, experimentamos las mismas cosas que sintieron los Apóstoles. Vemos, oímos, tocamos, y sentimos la presencia real de Nuestro Señor, Jesucristo. Esta presencia de Cristo es la que podemos llevar a otros a través de nuestra propia experiencia con el Señor. Nos mantenemos unidos al permanecer uno con la Iglesia, la Iglesia que Nuestro Señor, Jesucristo nos dejó para continuar Su misión de salvación. Como Católicos, necesitamos recordar que la Sagrada Eucaristía hace la Iglesia y que la Iglesia hace la Sagrada Eucaristía. No hay Iglesia sin la presencia real de nuestro Señor Jesucristo; que es la Sagrada Eucaristía. Nos reunimos para celebrar la Sagrada Eucaristía, para hacer presente a Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Su sufrimiento, Su muerte en la cruz, y Su gloriosa resurrección. Celebramos la Eucaristía siguiendo Sus palabras de la Última Cena: “Hagan esto en memoria mía.” (1 Cor 11:23-25). La Oración Eucarística es el movimiento más sagrada de la Misa.

He estado experimentando muchas interrupciones y distracciones durante la Misa, especialmente durante la Oración Eucarística—teléfonos celulares sonando, gente hablando, niños jugando, gente caminando, saliendo afuera, llegando tarde y saliendo temprano y personas contestando sus teléfonos durante la Misa. ¿Son estas distracciones más importantes que celebrar y ser participantes activos y consientes en la Misa mientras as estamos en completa comunión con Cristo? Durante la Misa entera, de principio a fin, deberíamos enfocarnos en todos los movimientos de la Misa participando consiente y activamente especialmente durante la Oración Eucarística. Probablemente habrás notado que recientemente los monaguillos usan las campanas. Esta práctica es para llamar la atención a que a algo especial y glorioso va a pasar. Es también para recordarnos de lo que está pasando en el altar. Los regalos del pan y el vino que ofrecemos como Iglesia pronto se transformarán en el cuerpo y la sangre de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

Permitamos que esta Cuaresma nos ayude a estar más atentos a lo Sagrado de la Misa y a su verdadera reverencia y que a través de esta reverencia de la Sagrada Eucaristía puedas hacer que la presencia de Cristo sea visible para tu familia, amigos y comunidad.

Que Dios los bendiga.

TT H EH E PP A S T O RA S T O R ’’ SS CC O L U M NO L U M N For the last two weeks, I have been explaining the six movements of the Mass. I would like to emphasize the most important part of the Mass this week, the Eucharistic Prayer. As you have noticed, in last week’s letter, we learned that the Eucharist is the source and summit of our Christian life, and it contains the full treasure of the Catholic Church. It is the real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in our world today. The Holy Eucharist makes us one with Jesus when we receive it. This week I had the opportunity to be present at the Most Reverend Myron J. Cotta’s preparation for his Episcopal Ordination as Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento. In his homily at the evening prayer, he reminded us that when we are present in the Holy Eucharist, we experience the same things as the Apostles experienced. We see, we hear, we touch, and we feel the true presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ. This presence of Christ is the one that we can bring to others through our own experience with the Lord. We become united as we remain one Church, the Church that our Lord, Jesus Christ, left us in order to carry on His mission of salvation. As Catholics, we need to be reminded that the Holy Eucharist makes the Church, and the Church makes the Holy Eucharist. There is no Church without the real presence of our Lord, Jesus Christ; that is, the Holy Eucharist. We gather together and celebrate the Holy Eucharist to make present, our Lord Jesus Christ and His suffering, His dying on the cross, and His glorious resurrection. We celebrate the Holy Eucharist following His words at the Last Supper: “Do this in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11:23-25). The Eucharistic Prayer is the most sacred movement of the Mass.

I have been experiencing a lot of interruptions and distractions during the Mass; especially during the Eucharistic Prayer—cell phones ringing, people talking, children playing, people walking around, going outside, arriving late and leaving early, even people actually answering their phones during the Mass. Are these distractions more important than celebrating and being active and conscious participants in the Mass while being in full communion with Christ? During the entire Mass, from beginning to end we should be focused on all of the movements of the Mass with our full, conscious and active participation, especially during the Eucharistic Prayer. You have probably noticed recently that I have started having the altar servers use the bells. This practice is to call attention that something special and glorious is about to happen. It is also to remind us of what is happening on the altar. The gifts of bread and wine that we offer as a Church will soon become the body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Let this Lenten season help you become more aware of the sacredness of the Mass and its true reverence, and through this reverence of the Holy Eucharist may you make the presence of Christ be visible to your family, friends and community.

God Bless You.

AÑO DE LA FE: NOVIEMBRE DE 2013

Su reino no tendrá fin: cuando llegues a tu reino acuérdate de mí Meditación: Nosotros creemos con firme certeza que el Señor Jesús ha vencido el mal y la muerte. Con esta segura confianza nos encomendamos a él. Presente entre nosotros, el Señor Jesús vence el poder del maligno (ver Lucas 11:20); la Iglesia, comunidad visible de su misericordia, permanece en Jesús como signo de la reconciliación definitiva con el Padre (ver Benedicto XVI, La puerta de la fe, 15). El último mes del Año de la Fe empieza con Todos los Santos (Catecismo, 946–259; Compendio, 194–195; YouCat, 146) y Todos los Fieles Difuntos (Catecismo, 1030–1032; Compendio, 210–211; YouCat, 159–160). Esperamos que un día, como Zaqueo que intentó ver a Jesús y solo descubrió que Jesús ya había llegado buscándole a él, que oigamos decir a Jesús: “¡Hoy ha venido la salvación a esta casa!” La liturgia de noviembre y el Leccionario nos mandan que meditemos sobre el fin de la vida y el juicio final (Catecismo, 1021–1022; Compendio, 207–208; YouCat, 154–155). Lucas, un artista según la tradición, concluye este Año de la Fe presentando un retrato único de Cristo Rey. “Entronizado” en la cruz, Jesús moribundo da la bienvenida al primer ciudadano de su reino, a un criminal que pide ni liberación del sufrimiento ni perdón—ni siquiera la salvación; solo dice: “Jesús, cuando llegues a tu reino acuérdate de mí”. La respuesta de Jesús promete mucho más: “Te aseguro que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso”: la paz y la abundancia, la consolación y la alegría, toda la creación en armonía con sí misma y con su Creador. Esta es nuestra fe y la fe de la Iglesia. Que sea también nuestro futuro. ¡Amén! ¡Ven, Señor Jesús! Misión: Buscar el perdón de Jesús con fe segura; es fácil decir a otras personas “lo siento”, porque Jesús lo ha hecho tan fácil para mí. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
