Part II of the Catechism of the Catholic Church deals with the celebration of the Christian Mystery. Church proclaims and celebrates the mystery of Christ in her liturgy so that the faithful may live from it and bear witness to it in the world (1068). This part has two chapters. The first one dedicated to the Paschal Mystery in the age of the church. The introduction itself is very enlightening. Here the involvement of the Trinitarian God in our liturgy is very clearly explained. The important role of the Father, the involving presence of Jesus and the enlightening and inspiring role of the Holy Spirit in the liturgy make this section very experiential for the reader. Chapter two of the Part two explains the Sacramental Celebration of the Paschal Mystery. The “Who”, “How”, “When” and “Where” of the sacramental celebrations are considered in sufficient detail. An average Catholic who has sufficient Faith Formation instructions while growing up this portion of the book is a revision and a deepening of learning. Sufficient teachings are given on the various elements of the liturgy, the liturgical seasons, and the liturgy of the hours. Section two of this second chapter gives a de-tailed explanation of all the sacraments of the church. It ends with an explanation of the Sacramentals, funerals, and popular piety. Sacramentals are sacred signs instituted by the church, such as prayers accompanied by signs like laying on of hands, sign of the cross, or the sprinkling of the holy water. They prepare a person to receive the fruit of the sacraments and sanctify different circumstances of life. Lay people may preside at certain blessings. When a blessing concerns ecclesial and sacramental life, its administration is reserved to the ordained ministry – Bishops, priests or deacons. Christian life is also nourished by popular piety rooted in different cultures. Church fosters the forms of popular piety that express an evangelical instinct and a human wisdom that enrich Christian life. Reading of this part of the catechism with the whole family and discussing each one’s understanding of the teachings of the Church is an excellent Sunday family celebration. Parents have made that promise at the baptism of the children. Then make no effort to fulfill that promise. When we spend all our resources to educate our children on what the world and secular media are telling us they should be into, how little energy do we spend for teaching our children on the matters of faith which will help their eternal salvation?.

God bless you all.

From the Pastor’s Desk / Del Escritorio del Padre

La Parte II del Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica trata de la celebración del misterio cristiano. La Iglesia proclama y celebra el misterio de Cristo en su liturgia para que los fieles puedan vivir de ella y dar testimonio de ello en el mundo (1068). Esta parte tiene dos capítulos. El primero dedicado al misterio pascual en la era de la iglesia. La introducción en sí es muy esclarecedora. Aquí la participación del Dios trinitario en nuestra liturgia se explica muy claramente. El importante papel del Padre, la presencia envolvente de Jesús y el papel esclarecedor e inspirador del Espíritu Santo en la liturgia hacen que esta sección sea muy experiencial para el lector. El capítulo dos de la Parte dos explica la celebración sacramental del misterio pascual. El "Quién", "Cómo", "Cuándo" y "Dónde" de las celebraciones sacramentales se consideran con suficiente detalle. Un católico promedio que tiene suficientes instrucciones de formación de fe mientras crece esta porción del libro es una revisión y una profundización del aprendizaje. Se dan suficientes enseñanzas sobre los diversos elementos de la liturgia, las estaciones litúrgicas y la liturgia de las horas. La sección dos de este segundo capítulo brinda una explicación detallada de todos los sacramentos de la iglesia. Termina con una explicación de los sacramentales, los funerales y la piedad popular. Los sacramentales son signos sagrados instituidos por la iglesia, como oraciones acompañadas de signos como la imposición de manos, el signo de la cruz o el rociado del agua bendita. Preparan a una persona para recibir el fruto de los sacramentos y santificar las diferentes circunstancias de la vida. Los laicos pueden presidir ciertas bendiciones. Cuando una bendición concierne a la vida eclesial y sacramental, su administración está reservada al ministerio ordenado: obispos, sacerdotes o diáconos. La vida cristiana también se nutre de la piedad popular arraigada en diferentes culturas. La Iglesia fomenta las formas de piedad popular que expresan un instinto evangélico y una sabiduría humana que enriquecen la vida cristiana. Leer esta parte del catecismo con toda la familia y discutir la comprensión de cada uno de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia es una excelente celebración familiar dominical. Los padres han hecho esa promesa en el bautismo de los niños. Entonces no hagas ningún esfuer-zo por cumplir esa promesa. Cuando gastamos todos nuestros recursos para educar a nuestros hijos sobre lo que el mundo y los medios seculares nos dicen que deberían interesarles, ¿qué poca energía gastamos para enseñar a nuestros hijos sobre los asuntos de fe que ayudarán a su salvación eterna? Dios los bendiga a todos.

El valor de la vida no depende del lugar que ocupemos. Depende de cómo

ocupemos ese lugar. —Santa Teresita del Niño Jesús

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

El otro día leí un artículo escrito por un pastor bautista sobre la necesidad de tener un altar en casa para educar a nuestros hijos en la fe y la oración. Lo leí con interés ya que el uso del altarcito tiene una larga historia en la Iglesia católica. En casa de mis abuelos paternos, en México, había un bello altarcito en forma de pirámide que contenía flores, velas y figuras de Jesús, María y algunos santos. Además de esto estaban también algunos instrumentos de oración como el rosario, la Biblia y algún otro libro de oración. También en casa de mi abuela materna, en Texas, había un rinconcito sagrado. Muchos latinos tenemos altarcitos familiares. Algunos son verdaderos altares como el de mi abuela, mamá Lilia. Otros son rincones especiales como el de mamá María, con alguna imagen y libro de oración y fotografías de nuestros parientes. A fin de cuentas no importa ni su tamaño ni su forma. Importa su existencia y sobre todo su uso para recordarnos de la presencia e importancia de Dios en nuestros hogares y familias. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In recent weeks, we have reviewed how the Churches of East and West have enriched one another, and this past Thursday’s solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was born in the Eastern Church. It is a gift from the ancient Church of Jerusalem, a commemoration of the death of Mary, and a feast charged with a deep sense of the Resurrection. Mary, the first disciple, is the first to share fully in Christ’s victory over death. In the tradition of the East, August 15 is the “Dormition of the Theotokos,” or the “Falling Asleep of the God-bearer.” There is no shadow of death or gloom in the theology, since this is seen as a transformation of Mary’s life into a heavenly and immortal existence. There is a sense in the tradition that she who made earth heavenly and exalted the human race by her faithfulness is glorified today.

A persistent legend among Orthodox Christians tells how all the disciples, except Thomas, who was preaching in India, were present at Mary’s death and burial, and sat by the tomb for three days. On the third day, Thomas saw Mary’s body rising to heaven. She greeted him as “my friend,” and he was escorted by angels to proclaim her assumption to the others, who then realized her tomb was empty. Thus Thomas, the one who expressed doubt at the resurrection of Christ, received a gift from Mary: the chance to proclaim resurrection faith to the disciples. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LISTEN TO JESUS AND THE PROPHETS

Prophets have always had a tough row to hoe. Their words, often unwelcome, are used against them to persecute and even kill them. Such was the fate of the Old Testament prophets, and Jeremiah is a great example of this. Jesus endured opposition from sinners, and did not turn back from a shameful death in order to rise to a glorious new life. The ultimate prophet, Jesus sought to warn the people of his time and ours of the divisions that his words would cause, showing himself to be the prophet of all time. We all need to look at our divisions and dilemmas in light of Jesus’ teachings and warnings, and seek to understand all that he has proclaimed and taught about what will happen if we fail to listen. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ESCUCHA A JESÚS Y A LOS PROFETAS

Los profetas siempre han tenido un hueso muy duro que roer. Sus palabras, a menudo poco deseadas ser escuchadas, se usan en contra de ellos para perseguirlos y aún para matarlos. Ese fue el destino de muchos profetas del Antiguo Testamento, y Jeremías es uno de esos grandes ejemplos. Jesús trato con pecadores y aceptó su muerte y luego resucitó a una vida gloriosa. El último profeta, Jesús buscó prevenir a las personas de su tiempo y del nuestro de las divisiones que sus palabras causarían, mostrándose él mismo ser el profeta de todo el tiempo. Todos necesitamos ver a nuestras divisiones y dilemas a la luz de las enseñanzas y advertencias, y buscar comprender todo lo que él proclamó y enseñó de las cosas que pasarían si no lo escuchamos.

The value of life does not depend upon the place we occupy. It depends upon how we occupy that place. —St. Thérèse of Lisieux
