Christian burial and
cremation
Part 4 of 4
The reservation of the ashes of the departed in a sacred place ensures that they are not excluded from the prayers and remembrance of their family or the Christian community.
It prevents the faithful departed from being forgotten, or their remains from being shown a lack of respect,
which eventuality is possible, most especially once the immediately subsequent generation has too passed away.
Also, it prevents any unfitting or superstitious practices.
For the reasons given above, the conservation of the ashes of the departed in a domestic residence is not permitted. Only in grave and exceptional cases dependent on cultural conditions of a lo-calized nature, may the Ordinary, in agreement with the Episcopal Conference or the Synod of Bishops of the Oriental Churches, concede permission for the conservation of the ashes of the departed in a domestic residence.
Nonetheless, the ashes may not be divided among various family members and due respect must be maintained regarding the circumstances of such a conservation.
In order that every appearance of pantheism, naturalism or nihilism be avoided,
it is not permitted to scatter the ashes of the faithful departed in the air, on land, at sea
or in some other way, nor may they be preserved in mementos,
pieces of jewelry or other objects.
These courses of action cannot be legitimized by an appeal to the sanitary, social, or economic motives that may have occasioned the choice of cremation.
When the deceased notoriously has requested cremation and the scattering of their ashes for reasons contrary to the Christian faith, a Christian funeral must be denied to that person according to the norms of the law. The Sovereign Pontiff Francis, in the Audience granted to the undersigned Cardinal Prefect on 18 March 2016, approved the present Instruction, adopted in the Ordinary Session of this Congregation on 2 March 2016, and ordered its publication. Rome, from the Offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, 15 August 2016, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Gerhard Card. Müller, Prefect Luis F. Ladaria, S.I., Titular Archbishop of Thibica, Secretary

What Is Confirmation? Part 3
Traditionally, the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude (courage), knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. These gifts are supernatural graces given to the soul. The 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit are charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, long-suffering, mildness, faith, modesty, continency, and chastity — human qualities that can be activated by the Holy Spirit.
FAITH FORMATION
Would you like to help lead our youth closer to Christ? Join the
Youth Ministry Hospitality Team on the 1st & 3rd Wednesdays
of the month during our Life Teen and Edge nights. Team mem-
bers assist with greeting our youth, serving them dinner and
helping with the "before & after" prep. The time commitment
is 6:00-7:30PM. Interested? Contact [email protected] or
Being confirmed in the Church means accepting responsibility for your faith and destiny. Adulthood, even young adulthood, means that you must do what’s right on your own, not for the recognition or reward but merely because it’s the right thing to do.
Remember!
How Does God Make The Sun And Moon Go Up And Down? God made powerful laws to govern the universe. These laws control the movements of the sun, moon, earth, and other planets and stars. For example, one law called "gravity" draws objects toward each other. Other natural laws control the weather. Many forces determine whether the day will be sunny or cloudy, warm or cold, such as the heat from the sun, the currents in the ocean, the wind, and many others. God set up the rules that make all these forces work together. And because God controls the entire universe, he can interrupt the laws if he wants to - bring rain to dry land or bright sunshine to flooded areas. How power-ful God must be to control all that!
Key Verse: The heavens are telling the glory of God. They are a great display of what God can do. (Psalm 19:1)
Related Verse Joshua 10:13; 1 Kings 18:1ff.; 2 Kings 20:8-11; 2 Chronicles 7:12ff.; Psalm 19:1-6; 104:19; 148:3; Hebrews 1:2-3
Note to Parents Part of this is a science issue. If your children are wondering how the forces of nature work, don't be afraid of encouraging them to learn more about the natural sciences. The power and wonder of nature can be used to inspire awe and worship of God. The heavens declare his glory! (See Psalm 19)
Presentation of the Lord—Feb. 2nd
Forty days after Jesus was born, Mary and Joseph brought him to the great
Temple in Jerusalem. There they presented Baby Jesus to the Heavenly
Father. That was the Jewish law. The Holy Family obeyed it with loving hearts.

KIOSK CORNER
Have you taken a few minutes to look over the Catholic media displayed on the kiosk in the narthex? We have a wide variety of titles available in print, DVD and CD format. This month, in anticipation of St. Valentine's Day, the spotlight is on a CD called, “For Love and Marriage”. This CD contains inspiration and help for those of us who travel our spiritual jour-ney in the married state. Johnnette Benkovic shares her conversion back to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church and the struggles that came when her husband didn't share her faith. She explains how the Lord blessed her in unexpected ways and, through the promptings of his Holy Spirit, showed her how she could better love her spouse through it all. Parishioner Comments... Just what I needed to hear! It's what I have been looking for to help me in my marriage and spiritual journey. Janie - Kyle, TX This is the best CD I've ever heard on marriage. Johnnette's honesty and vibrant faith touch us to the core. It is such an inspiration for married couples to grow stronger in the Lord. Fabienne - Wilbraham, MA

Vengan a mí “es la invitación de Jesús a
todos nosotros para atraernos hacia El.
Jesús anhela ser una parte íntima de nuestras vidas para re-
novarnos, sostenernos y darnos la plenitud que buscamos.
En esta invitación, Jesús describe la actitud perfecta para
hacer una hora de adoración: soltar nuestras cargas para
escuchar y ser transformados por El. Estas palabras pueden
ser vistas como una invitación directa a cada uno de noso-
tros para visitar a Jesús en la Eucaristía.

ACTO PENITENCIAL
Puestos en la presencia de Dios, la Iglesia nos invita a reconocer con humildad que somos pecadores. Porque como dice San Pablo: “Mi proceder no lo comprendo, pues no hago el bien que quiero, sino el mal que no quiero” (Rm 7, 15). Algo así nos sucede a todos… Por eso, al empezar la Eucaristía reconocemos humildemen-te frente a todos nuestros hermanos, que somos pecadores. Y para pedirle perdón a Dios, usamos las palabras del ciego que oyó que Jesús pasaba cerca, y como sabía que no podía curarse a sí mismo, sino necesitaba del auxilio de Dios, se puso a gritar en medio de la multitud: “Señor, ten piedad de mí”. Así, con confianza en la misericordia de Dios, rezamos también el “Señor ten piedad”.
CANTO DE GLORIA En los domingos y solemnidades se reza este himno, que resume el sentido máximo de la vida cristiana: darle gloria a Dios. Alabar a Dios, no sólo porque es bueno, o porque nos ayuda, o por las cosas que nos da. Darle gloria por quién es Él, porque es Dios. Nos ayuda a estar bien orientados, a afirmar que el sentido máximo de nuestra vida es Él.
De acuerdo a lo informado por el obispo Zarama en la misa del domingo, el padre Herrera sufrió un derrame cerebral leve y fue llevado ayer al hospital St. Mary's. Él padre será sometido a varias pruebas de diagnóstico para determinar qué causó el derrame. El padre Herrera no puede recibir visitas ni llamadas telefónicas. Mantendremos a todos actualizados a través de la página en el sitio web de la iglesia COKAS.ORG. Por favor oren para que el Padre tenga una pronta recuperación. John estara coordinando con la Arquidiócesis para cubrir misas y funerales durante el período de recuperación del Padre. Por favor dirija cualquier problema o pregunta que pueda tener directamente a John Steadman al: [email protected]
