Magnificat Prayer Group Invites You Women, are you looking for a place to meet new people

and praise our God in song and prayer? Join our Thursday

morning prayer group! The new season will begin on

Thursday, September 10, at 9:45 AM in Apostles Bay.

This prayer group is sponsored by the McHenry Chapter

supplies, 815-996-0076 or mrivas8520@comcast.net.

This week we served 107 guests.

Every week we host new guests who have not come to

the Community Kitchen before, and other guests who join

us often. Our gathering has become a community of folks

who know and appreciate the good meal and the friend-

ship of one another. Over the weeks and years, however,

some guests have moved away, some have moved to

nursing facilities, some have become sick or disabled,

and some have died. We miss each one. Please remem-

ber our guests and their many needs in your prayers.

Christ has touched them in a way they will never forget,

and they have touched us in a way we will never forget.

We are blessings to one another from Christ.

Raices Biblicas del Cristianismo Herederos del Pueblo de Dios. Se denomina cristianismo a la

religión en conjunto que fue fundada por Cristo Jesús, “piedra

angular de toda su doctrina” (1Corintios 3,10-11 ; 1Pedro

2,4.6-8). Esta religión heredó del pueblo judío la fe en un úni-

co y verdadero Dios (Exodo 20,2-3), que tiene sus inicios des-

de la “santa alianza” entre Yahvé con el patriarca Abraham

(Génesis 12,1-2); convirtiendo al pueblo de Israel, en una

“nación santa y reino de sacerdotes” (Exodo 19,5-6). De la

Antigua a la Nueva Alianza. Sin embargo, “cuando se cumplió

el tiempo, Dios envió a su Hijo, que nació de una mujer, some-

tido a la ley de Moisés”(Gálatas 4,4). El es el “gran sumo sa-

cerdote” (Hebreos 4,14), que establece un “nuevo pac-

to” (Hebreos 8,6), por su muerte salvadora en la cruz (Efesios

2,16; Colosenses 1,20 ), dando origen al “verdadero pueblo

de Dios” (Gálatas 6,16). Por consiguiente, “Ya no importa el

ser judío o griego, esclavo o libre, hombre o mujer; porque

unidos a Cristo Jesús, todos ustedes son uno solo. Y si son de

Cristo, son descendientes de Abraham y herederos de la pro-

mesa que Dios le hizo” (Gálatas 3,28-29). Ya en cuanto al

término “cristiano” con que se identifica a los discípulos de

Cristo, empezó a utilizarse en la provincia romana de Antio-

quía (actual Antakya, en Turquía) (Hechos 11,26). Este nom-

bre fue aceptado por todos aquellos que soportaban los sufri-

mientos de su fe (1Pedro 4,16); convirtiéndose así en auténti-

cos soldados de Cristo (2Timoteo 2,3). Mi nombre es Cristiano

y mi apellido es Católico. El cristianismo estuvo conformado

en sus mismo albores históricos por el catolicismo, que tiene

a Jesús como cabeza (Coloseses 1,18; Efesios 5,23), al fun-

dar su congregación sobre el apóstol Pedro (roca) (Jn 1,42;

Mateo 16,16-18; Lucas 22,32; Juan 21,15-17). La palabra

griega“ Iglesia“ asamblea de fieles (1 Corintios 1,2)“Católica”

universal (apocalipsis 7,9); fue utilizada por primera vez por

san Ignacio de Antioquía a principios del siglo segundo de

nuestra era (8). Ella es “la familia de Dios, que es la iglesia

del Dios viviente, la cual sostiene y defiende la vedad.
