La Historia de Mission San Jose

The mesquite tree from bark to thorns to sap was used by the Coahuiltecans and others. It was the bean pod that provided the greatest benefit, as a food staple. The beans were usually harvested after they turned hard and golden, but they would also be eaten green. Both pods and seeds were ground into meal by the use of a metate or by digging a deep hole in the ground. The beans were thrown into the hole and pounded with a club until well mashed. The ground meal would then be sprinkled with water and formed into small round cakes which were eaten raw, fried like mush, or used to thicken stew. Today there is new interest in natural desert food, and mesquite bean flour can be purchased or, you can make your own. The flour is a good source of protein. Recipes are on the internet.

The Holy Mass has 4 parts • Entrance Rites • Liturgy of the Word • Liturgy of the Eucharist • Concluding Rites

In every mass we remember what Jesus did and said in the Last Supper and so Jesus becomes present when the priest says the words of consecration, the same words that Jesus pronounced…” this is my body….this is my blood”. It is the Spirit of God who consecrates, makes holy the bread and wine and transforms them into the body and blood of Christ.

If we can think of the mass as going up to a mountain, when we begin the mass we start climbing little by little and this moment of the consecration, when Jesus becomes Body and Blood in the bread and wine, is the peak of the mountain, the most important moment of the mass, and then we start to descend until the end when we are sent again into the world. For other Christian religions the bread and wine are just bread and wine, but for us Catholics they are really the Body and Blood our Jesus Christ. This is our belief and that is why people from other Christians Churches cannot take communion in our Church and we cannot take communion in their churches. It would be disrespectful and also dishonest because we would not be doing what Jesus told us when he said “this is my body…. this is my blood”. To be continued next Sunday En cada Misa recordamos lo que Jesús hicieron y dijo en la última cena y así Jesús se hace presente cuando el sacerdote dice las palabras de la consagración, las mismas palabras que Jesús pronuncian... "Esto es mi cuerpo... esta es mi sangre". Es el espíritu de Dios que consagra, hace Santo el pan y el vino y las transforma en el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo. Si podemos pensar en la masa como subir a una montaña, cuando empezamos la masa que empezamos a subir poco a poco y este momento de la consagración, cuando Jesús se convierte en cuerpo y sangre en el pan y el vino, es el pico de la montaña , el momento más importante de la masa y luego comenzar a descender hasta el final cuando estamos enviados otra vez en el mundo. Para otras religiones cristianas el pan y el vino son sólo pan y vino, pero para nosotros los católicos son realmente el cuerpo y sangre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Esta es nuestra creencia y es por qué la gente de otras iglesias de los cristianos no puede hacer la comunión en nuestra iglesia y nosotros no podemos hacer la comunión en sus iglesias. Sería irrespetuoso y también deshonesto porque nosotros no estaría haciendo lo que Jesús nos dijo que cuando dijo "Esto es mi cuerpo... esta es mi sangre”.
