The Alpha and the Omega – Part 13: The Church

Once the Holy Spirit had come at Pentecost, The Church began to take shape. In the course of both human history and Church history, the birth and rapid formation and expansion of the Church is miraculous. No purely human creation can equal it. Within a span of roughly 20 years after Christ’s Ascension, the Church was established and growing. New Testament scholars believe that the first document of the New Testament was First Thessalonians, written by St. Paul in 55 AD. By that time, many churches had already been planted in the areas around the Mediterranean Sea: Rome, Corinth, Ephesus, Galatia, Colossus, Philippi and more. The Mass as we know it today wasn’t yet formed, but parts of it from that time would be very familiar to us now. There were already in place bishops, priests and deacons. All seven of the sacraments were in place. Some things were quite different then. Baptisms followed a year-long intensive training program. Initiates had to confess their sins publicly and were immersed in water without any clothing on. Who would want to try that now? The earliest churches were home churches. Someone who owned a house big enough would have the people come over. In some cases, such as in Corinth, a dinner party was held first, then came the Mass. The earliest churches were far from perfect. For one thing, many converts to Christ ran into conflict with other members of their families who did not convert and were steadfastly devout to their Jewish heritage. There were major conflicts between those who believed that, in the case of Gentiles, in order to become Christian, one first had to become Jewish. There were conflicts and arguments over circumcision. St Paul had to reprimand the church in Corinth because too many of the dinner guests were getting drunk at the pre-Mass party. The Church has had its enemies from the very start. There were some who could not fathom what Jesus was talking about when He said His followers must eat His flesh and drink His blood, so they left. The Roman authorities supposed that Christians were a cannibalistic cult. They sent spies to some of these home churches who eaves-dropped on the Mass. They heard something about eating someone’s flesh and drinking his blood, and concluded that Christians were cannibals. And then of course, Christianity was outlawed, and Christians were captured and thrown to the lions in the Colosseum. But then came Constantine, and the Church was free to grow and flourish. The Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. No one ever said it was also perfect. The Church is populated by fallen sinners, so expectations of perfection are misplaced. We can expect perfection from God, not from sinners. Still, the Church is the Body of Christ, the creation of God in the Holy Spirit, who is ever-present in The Church. God still speaks to His Church through Holy Scripture and Sacred Tradition, and He touches us and sanctifies us through the Sacraments. The Church is One because God is One, and He intends His Church to be unified. We have divisions and denominations, but both the Lord and many in the Church seek visible unity. The Church is Holy, not because its members live perfectly Holy lives, but because The Church is set apart for God and His service. The Church is Apostolic because Jesus entrusted His Church to His disciples. He didn’t leave them to themselves to build and sustain The Church on their own strength and ingenuity, but sent the Holy Spirit to strengthen the Apostles, and to recall to our minds all that Jesus taught and to lead us into all Truth. The Church is Catholic because of its wholeness: Christ’s offer of salvation is for the whole world, to each one of us, and because God is fully revealed in Jesus Christ. The Church is universal and exists in all the world. To be continued . . .

El Alfa y la Omega – 13ª Parte: La Iglesia

Una vez que el Espíritu Santo había venido en Pentecostés, la Iglesia comenzó a tomar forma. En el curso tanto de la historia humana como de la historia de la Iglesia, el nacimiento y la rápida formación y expansión de la Iglesia fue milagrosa. Ninguna creación puramente humana puede igualarla. En un lapso de aproximadamente 20 años después de la Ascensión de Cristo, la Iglesia se estableció y creció.

Los eruditos del Nuevo Testamento creen que el primer documento del Nuevo Testamento fue la 1ª Carta a los Tesalonicenses, escrito por San Pablo en el año 55 DC. Para ese entonces, muchas iglesias ya habían sido plantadas en las áreas alrededor del Mar Mediterráneo: Roma, Corinto, Éfeso, Galia, Coloso, Filipos y más. La Santa Misa tal como la conocemos hoy todavía no se había formado, pero partes de ella de esa época nos serían muy familiares ahora. Ya existían Obispos, Sacerdotes y Diáconos. Los siete sacramentos estaban en su lugar.

Algunas cosas eran muy diferentes entonces. Los bautismos siguieron un programa de entrenamiento intensivo de un año. Los iniciados tuvieron que confesar sus pecados públicamente y se sumergieron en agua sin ropa. ¿Quién querría probar eso ahora?

Las primeras iglesias eran iglesias en casa. Alguien que tuviera una casa lo suficientemente grande haría que la gente viniera. En algunos casos, como en Corinto, primero se celebró una cena, luego vino la Santa Misa.

Las primeras iglesias estaban lejos de ser perfectas. Por un lado, muchos conversos a Cristo entraron en conflicto con otros miembros de sus familias que no se convirtieron y eran firmemente devotos de su herencia Judía. Hubo conflictos importantes entre quienes creían que, en el caso de los Gentiles, para convertirse en Cristianos, primero debía hacerse Judíos. Hubo conflictos y discusiones sobre la circuncisión. San Pablo tuvo que reprender a la Iglesia en Corinto porque muchos de los invitados a la cena se estaban emborrachando en la fiesta previa a la Santa Misa.

La Iglesia ha tenido sus enemigos desde el principio. Hubo algunos que no pudieron comprender de qué estaba hablando Jesús cuando dijo que sus seguidores debían comer su carne y beber su sangre, así que se fueron. Las autoridades Romanas suponían que los Cristianos eran un culto caníbal. Enviaron espías a algunas de estas iglesias hogareñas que escucharon a escondidas la Santa Misa. Escucharon algo sobre comer la carne de alguien y beber su sangre, y concluyeron que los Cristianos eran caníbales. Y luego, por supuesto, el Cristianismo fue ilegalizado, y los Cristianos fueron capturados y arrojados a los leones en el Coliseo.

Pero luego vino Constantino, y la Iglesia fue libre de crecer y florecer.

La Iglesia es Una, Santa, Católica y Apostólica. Nadie dijo que todo fuera perfecto. La Iglesia está poblada por pecadores caídos, por lo que las expectativas de perfección están fuera de lugar. Podemos esperar la perfección de Dios, no de los pecadores.

Aún así, la Iglesia es el Cuerpo de Cristo, la creación de Dios en el Espíritu Santo, que está siempre presente en la Iglesia. Dios todavía habla a su Iglesia a través de las Sagradas Escrituras, la Sagrada Tradición, y nos toca y nos santifica a través de los Sacramentos.

La Iglesia es Una porque Dios es Uno, y Él pretende que Su Iglesia se unifique. Tenemos divisiones y denominaciones, pero tanto el Señor como muchos en la Iglesia buscan la unidad visible. La Iglesia es Santa, no porque sus miembros vivan perfectamente en la santidad, sino porque la Iglesia está apartada para Dios y su servicio. La Iglesia es Apostólica porque Jesús confió su Iglesia a sus Discípulos. No los dejó solos para construir y sostener la Iglesia con su propia fuerza e ingenio, sino que envió al Espíritu Santo para fortalecer a los Apóstoles y recordarnos a todos lo que Jesús enseñó y guiarnos a toda la Verdad. La Iglesia es Católica por su integridad: el ofrecimiento de salvación de Cristo es para todo el mundo, para cada uno de nosotros, y porque Dios se revela plenamente en Jesucristo. La Iglesia es universal y existe en todo el mundo. Continuará . . .

CASINO NIGHT VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE

Dear Parents and Friends of Notre Dame Catholic School,

Due to COVID 19, we were unable to have our traditional Casino Night fundraiser event. The proceeds from this fundraiser represent a significant amount on our school budget. Therefore, we would like to offer a “virtual Casino Night” centered around 6 spectacular events with suggested donations.

If you are interested in participating in any of these events, please call the school office at 830.257.6707. All items are offered on a first come, first served basis.

Many of these events involve large groups and have proposed dates. In the event COVID 19 issues prevents us from offering these events at the proposed date, we will reschedule to a later date. We will always adhere to the recommended guidelines to maintain the safety and health of everyone.

We have pre-sold over $7,000 in sponsorships. These donors have elected to let the school keep the donations. If you are interested in donating to the school to support our fundraising effort in lieu of purchasing an auction item, please contact the school office.

We appreciate your continued support of our parish and school.

Blessings, Sandi Killo

EXPERIENCIA VIRTUAL DE NOCHE DE CASINO

Estimados padres y amigos de la escuela Católica de Notre Dame:

Debido a Covid 19, no pudimos tener nuestro evento tradicional de recaudación de fondos en la Noche de Casino. Los ingresos de esta recaudación de fondos representan una cantidad significativa en nuestro presupuesto escolar. Por lo tanto, nos gustaría ofrecer una "Noche de Casino virtual" centrada en eventos espectaculares con donaciones sugeridas.

Si está interesado en participar en alguno de estos eventos, llame a la oficina de la escuela al 830.257.6707. Todos los artículos se ofrecen por orden de llegada.

Muchos de estos eventos involucran a grupos grandes y tienen fechas proscritas. En caso de que los problemas de Covid19 nos impidan ofrecer estos eventos en la fecha propuesta, lo reprogramaremos para una fecha posterior. Siempre cumpliremos con las pautas recomendadas para mantener la seguridad y la salud de todos.

Hemos vendido más de $7000 en patrocinios. Estos donantes han elegido dejar que la escuela se quede con las donaciones. Si está interesado en donar a la escuela para apoyar nuestro esfuerzo de recaudación de fondos en lugar de comprar un artículo de subasta, comuníquese con la oficina de la escuela.

Agradecemos su continuo amor y apoyo a nuestra parroquia y escuela, Bendiciones, Sandi Killo
