From the Desk of Father Jonathan

This week was the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, promulgated by Pope John Paul II on October 11, 1992. The Catechism is a presentation of the beliefs of the Catholic Church. It has universal teaching authority, meaning, if you want to know what the Catholic Church believes about anything related to faith and morals, all you have to do is open up the Catechism! This clarity of belief is one of the most important gifts we have as Catholics. This cannot be said for many other Christian ecclesial communities. For example, the Lutheran church in Africa may have very different beliefs than the Lutheran church in Germany or the United States. Our unity comes from the authority Jesus gave to Peter, our first pope. When John Paul II officially promulgated the Catechism, he did so with the authority of the See of Peter. He was confirming us in our faith. He was saying "this here, in these pages, in this book" you will find a summary of the Good News of Jesus Christ. The Catechism doesn't take away anything from the Bible. The Catechism is a fuller explanation of what is already present in the Bible, and what the Lord has given to us through Tradition, that is, what the Church has passed down to us through the ages as Revelation. Have you read the Catechism? Do you have a copy in your home? If not, I recommend you get one. You can find them at major book stores or you can order one on-line. Just look up "The Universal Catechism of the Catholic Church". I think you will find it to be a wonderful source of knowledge and inspiration. It will help you mature in your faith. Pope John Paul II, pray for us!

God bless,

Father Jonathan

WEDDING BANNS

III. Carlos Bravo & Yadira Ayala

II. Luis M. Diaz & Monica R. Rodriguez

October 15, 2017 CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL 3

THE HEAVENLY BANQUET The mountain of the Lord described in today’s first reading is a place where there is no more hunger, no more weeping, and no more division of any kind. We need to pause and ponder these images every now and then, especially given the fact that we live in such a fractured world. The responsorial psalm continues to paint a picture of a place where only goodness and kindness flourish. These readings describe the heavenly banquet, to which God calls each of us through baptism and continues to call us throughout our lives. Let us “RSVP” to God’s invitation and live our lives consistent with gospel values so that one day we will be welcomed to the table of the kingdom.

IL BANCHETTO CELESTIALE

Come riuscirà la Chiesa, Sposa di Cristo, a presentare agli uomini del nostro mondo, della nostra società post-cristiana, l’incredibile invito del Padre alle nozze di suo Figlio? Come far sedere alla tavola di questo “banchetto di grasse vivande, di cibi succulenti, di vini raffinati” un’umanità apparentemente senza appetito? Questo compito appassionante di tutta la Chiesa - questa nuova evangelizzazione - deve occupare tutti i figli del nuovo popolo di Dio. Ne va di mezzo la vita e la

vita del mondo. Sembra che annunciare l’invito con un nuovo ardore, con nuovi metodi, con una nuova espressione non sia un mezzo superato. Alcuni tra coloro che trasmettono questo invito alle nozze saranno forse maltrattati, forse uccisi. Ci saranno certamente quelli che rifiutano l’invito. Poco importa. C’è gente agli angoli delle strade. Basta annunciare con convinzione che noi andiamo a un banchetto, che l’invito di Cristo è arrivato fino a noi e che noi conosciamo le portate. Basta sapere che noi possiamo tutto in colui che ci conforta. L’annunciamo così? Siamo convincenti perché abbiamo già partecipato a questo banchetto? Non c’è niente di più ripugnante di coloro le cui parole ripetono quello che dicono gli altri, senza dare prova di alcuna esperienza.

The Miracle of the Sun at Fatima

“...St. Joseph traced the Sign of the Cross…the Redeemer also gave His blessing...as this vision faded it was succeeded by another seen by Sr. Lucia alone, of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel…”

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, pray for us!

EL BANQUETE CELESTIAL El monte del Señor descrito en la primera lectura de hoy es un lugar donde no hay más hambre, ni llanto, ni ningún tipo de división. Necesitamos detenernos y pensar sobre estas imágenes de cuando en cuando, especialmente dado el hecho de que vivimos en un mundo tan fragmentado. El salmo responsorial continúa pintando el cuadro de un lugar donde sólo florecen la bondad y la generosidad. Estas lecturas describen el banquete celestial, al que Dios nos llama mediante el bautismo y continúa llamándonos a lo largo de nuestra vida. Respondamos a la invitación de Dios y vivamos nuestra vida conforme a los valores del Evangelio para que un día seamos bienvenidos a la mesa del banquete en el Reino.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

En 2006, en la plaza de Taos se erigió una estatua de bronce que conmemora al “cura de Taos”, Antonio José Martínez, un sacerdote recordado como controversial ante varios gobiernos por defender a su pueblo. Él fue sacerdote en Taos, Nuevo México cuando era territorio español, luego mexicano y finalmente cuando pasa a manos de EE. UU. Durante la época española y mexicana Antonio estableció escuelas para niños y niñas y fundó un seminario para preparar un clero nativo. En 1830 empezó a imprimir libros y estableció el primer pe-riódico Nuevo Mexicano. De esta manera estableció Taos como un centro de educación. En 1851 llegaron los representantes del gobierno es-tadounidense con la intención de “americanizar” a los nuevos mexicanos prohibiéndoles sus tradiciones decla-rando que eran ignorantes y supersticiosas. Antonio José contradijo este movimiento convirtien-do su seminario en una escuela de leyes. Decía que el go-bierno de EE. UU es un burro que debe ser montado por abogados. Muchos se opusieron a su obra pero él conti-nuó luchando por su pueblo hasta su muerte en 1867. Su tumba lo declara: “La honra de su país”.
