The Sacrament of Matrimony Fr. Joe Kuharski, Guest Writer

Greetings in Christ!

It has been a joy to read up more about the great gift

of the Sacrament of Matrimony as I have been prepar-

ing for the series on marriage that I’ve been having on

Tuesday evenings. St. John Paul II would say that all of

the sacraments “! nd their prototype in some way in marriage as the pri-

mordial sacrament” – and what he means here is that marriage is an inter-

pretive key to understanding all of the sacraments, and, indeed, our whole

relationship with God. It’s no coincidence that at the beginning of the Bible,

with Adam and Eve, and at the end of the Bible, with the Wedding feast of

the Lamb, we see marriage. And all in between, as well, we see consistent

references to God’s “marriage” with his chosen people Israel, like this one:

“For your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is his name” (Is 54:5).

Israel, though, continued to be a “faithless wife” and to turn away from ! del-

ity to the one true God, even after the Lord sent countless prophets to try

to bring her back. They would continue to break their end of the covenant,

or “marriage bond”, and so God would then form a new covenant. In the

fullness of time, God sent His own Son, who would form the “new and ever-

lasting covenant” in His own Body and Blood.

The Sacrament of Marriage, then, is called to a great dignity – to be a living

symbol of the love between Christ and His Church, the Bride. Just as Christ

gave himself completely, even to the point of laying down his life, so the

husband is called to lay down his life for his bride, and the two are called

love each other “in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, as long

as they both shall live.” And what a beautiful witness it is to the rest of our

culture when it is faithfully lived out for 30, 40, or even 50 years!

In order to live out this steadfast, self-giving love, we know from experience

that more is needed than our own e% orts. Statistics tell us the sad news

that relatively few married couples are very happy with their marriage, and

we all know how the divorce rate has skyrocketed in recent decades, so that

it’s now at about 50%. On the other hand, the University of Virginia and the

University of Texas at San Antonio found that up to 83% of couples who

pray together are happy with each other and their marriage. Sociologist

Andrew Greeley even claims that couple prayer has been found amongst

all other factors as the most powerful correlate to contribute to marital

happiness and stability. Our faith could have already told us this, of course:

when a couple builds their marriage on Christ, the sure foundation, then

they are sure to weather the storms of life (see Mt 7:24-27).

To all of our married couples: how have you built your marriage on your

relationship with Christ? If you’re unfamiliar with couple prayer and are

unsure of how to begin, it’s never too late! Just try starting out with a Hail

Mary or an Our Father for the intention of your marriage.

New Mass Setting Begins Next Weekend: Mass of Christ, Light of the Nations Bernie Leach

Parish musicians will lead us in a new Mass setting next weekend. The Mass

of Christ, Light of the Nations is a newer musical Mass setting composed

by Tony Alonso (with GIA – The Gregorian Institute of America) in 2015. It

includes a “through composed” Glory to God, which means the words for

the Glory are sung from beginning to end with no repeat of a refrain. One

of the reasons for starting the setting in November is so that we may learn

the “Glory to God” before the great Solemnity of Christmas. This setting

also includes two penitential acts, one of which will be used during Ad-

vent. In his introduction to the Mass Setting Tony wrote, “My composing

was guided by a deeper sense of how the words sing in the voice of the

liturgical assembly…”

All Saints Mass ScheduleMasses for this holy day of obligation are sched-

uled for October 31 at 5:30 p.m. and November 1

at 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in the Church.

Mass in Spanish will be celebrated November 1 at

7:00 p.m. in the FCC.

Please note there is NO 8:00 a.m. Mass November 1 and there will be NO Confessions November 1.

All Souls Mass of RemembranceA Mass of Remembrance will be celebrated on All Souls’ Day November 2,

at 7:00 p.m. in the Church. We pray especially for all parishioners who have

died since November 2016.

Mass in Spanish will be celebrated at 7:00 p.m. in the FCC.

All Saints and All Souls Bernie Leach

The Solemnity of All Saints this Wednesday is followed by the Commemo-

ration of all the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day) this Thursday. All Saints

commemorates the saints – extraordinary men and women who have lived

lives of holiness. The Catholic tradition teaches that the saints enjoy God’s

presence in death and can intercede for us before God. After having com-

memorated the saints, who enjoy the face of God, we turn our thoughts

every year to other souls who await the fullness of God’s glory. They are the

people we remember on All Souls’ Day. To demonstrate how close these

days are the Catholic Catechism #962 states: “We believe in the commu-

nion of all the faithful of Christ, those who are pilgrims on earth, the dead

who are being puri! ed, and the blessed in heaven, all together forming one

Church.”

The Grapevine

Lights of Love to Be Displayed During NovemberLights of Love has been a tradition at St. Stephen’s since 1992. It has been a

wonderful way to remember and pray for loved ones who have passed away,

while raising funds for the parish’s charity account. With Lights of Love we

remember the way these special individuals let their light shine before us in

the past (Mt. 5:16) and pray that they may now enjoy everlasting light.

Throughout the month of November, the lights will be artfully displayed

behind the statue of St. Stephen, our patron saint. As the light fades out-

side, the lights of remembrance for our loved ones will grow in that beauti-

ful corner of our Worship space.

Those who are interested in reserving one or more lights are invited to

complete the form in the bulletin and return it to the parish o! ce any time

now, with a " nal deadline of November 6. The minimum donation is $10.00

per name. The funds generated by this worthwhile project will be set aside

for outreach to those who are in need.

As names are turned in, they will be recorded on sheets that will be placed near

the St. Stephen statue and the number of lights behind St. Stephen will re# ect

the number of names each week. May our loved ones who have gone before

us in death share Christ’s victory and enjoy forever the vision of his glory.

Please light a “Light of Love and Remembrance” in MEMORY of:

Vocations Committee of St. Stephen’s ParishWhere do vocations to the priest-

hood and religious life come

from? From prayer. We are begin-

ning a Vocations Committee here

at St. Stephen’s to pray for and

support vocations to the priest-

hood, religious life, and diaconate.

God calls many men and women

to serve Him as a priest, deacon,

or religious sister or brother and

they need our prayerful assistance

to answer the call and to remain

faithful to this call. Not only do we

pray for religious vocations, but

also our families are in great need

of strengthening and support.

Please join Father Matthew

Quail Tuesday, November 14 at

7:00 p.m. in the Archbishop

Romero Room to learn how you

can help more men and women

answer God’s call in their lives.

Stewardship Re! ection“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind.” – MATTHEW 22:37

Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of money, power, status or some person-al possession greater than your love for God? Do you really recognize that everything you have and everything you are is a gift from God? The good news – it’s not too late to put God ! rst in your life in all things.

Un Mensaje del Padre Joe Kuharski¡Saludos en Cristo!

Ha sido una alegría leer más del gran don del Sacramen-to de Matrimonio, mientras prepare por el serie de clases acerca del matrimonio, que voy a estar enseñando los mar-tes en la noche. El Santo Papa Juan Pablo Segundo diría

que todos los sacramentos “encuentran su prototipo de alguna manera en el matrimonio, como el sacramento primordial”, y lo que quiere decir aquí es que el matrimonio es una clave para entender a todos los sacramentos y también nuestra relación entera con Dios. No es coincidencia que al prin-cipio de La Biblia, con Adán y Eva, y al ! nal de la Biblia, con el banquete de bodas del cordero, vemos el matrimonio. Y con todo entre medio, vemos las referencias consistentes del “matrimonio” de Dios con su pueblo elegi-do, Israel, como esto: “Porque tu esposo es aquel que te hizo: su nombre es Señor de los ejércitos” (Is 54:5). Israel siguió siendo una “esposa sin fe” y se alejó de la ! delidad al Único Dios verdadero, aun después que el Señor mandó a muchísimos profetas a tratar de acercarla de nuevo. Continuaban rompiendo su parte de la alianza, o “el lazo del matrimonio”, entonces Dios formó una alianza nueva. En la plenitud del tiempo, Dios mandó a su pro-pio Hijo, quien formó la alianza nueva, para siempre, con su propio Cuerpo y Sangre.

El Sacramento de Matrimonio, entonces, está llamado a una gran dignidad, de ser un símbolo viviente del amor entre Cristo y su Iglesia, la Novia. Como Cristo se entregó completamente, aun al punto de dar su vida por su espo-sa, y los dos son llamados a amarse en las buenas, en las malas, en la salud y en la enfermedad, para toda la vida. Y que testimonio tan bello para el resto de nuestra cultura cuando se vive ! elmente esto, por 30, 40 o aun 50 años.

Para poder vivir este amor fuerte, dando de si mismo, sabemos por expe-riencia que se necesita más que nuestro propio esfuerzo. Las estadísticas nos dicen la noticia triste que relativamente son pocas las parejas que viven un matrimonio feliz, y sabemos que la tasa de los divorcios ha incrementa-do muy rápidamente en las últimas décadas, y ahora está en unos 50%. Por la otra mano, La Universidad de Virginia y La Universidad de Texas en San Antonio descubrieron que hasta 83% de las parejas que oran juntos están felices entre sí en su matrimonio. El sociólogo Andrew Greely aun dice que la oración en pareja ha sido el factor más poderoso, para contribuir a la feli-cidad y la estabilidad marital. Nuestra fe ya nos ha dicho esto: cuando una pareja edi! ca a su matrimonio en Cristo, la fundación seguro, van a poder aguantar las tormentas de la vida (ver Mt 7:24-27).

A todas nuestras parejas casadas: ¿cómo han construido su matrimonio, en su relación con Cristo? Si desconocen la oración en pareja, y no saben cómo empezar, nunca es demasiado tarde. Solo comiencen con un Dios Te Salve o un Padre Nuestro, con la intención de su matrimonio

El Sacramento de La Reconciliación

El sacramento de la Reconciliación es uno de los tesoros más grandes de nues-tra fe católica, porque es por medio de la confesión que experimentamos la sanación y la misericordia de nuestro Señor, por todos nuestros pecados.

por lo menos una vez al año, y nos invita a frecuentar el sacramento aún más.

Una Re" exíon De La Corresponsabilidad“Amarás al Señor, tu Dios, con todo

tu corazón, con toda tu alma y con

toda tu mente” Mateo 22:37.

¿Pones otros “dioses” delante de

Dios? ¿Es tu amor por el dinero, pod-

er, estatus o alguna posesión per-

sonal mayor que tu amor por Dios?

¿Realmente reconoces que todo lo

que tienes y todo lo que eres es un

regalo de Dios? La buena noticia -

no es demasiado tarde para poner a

Dios primero en tu vida en todas las

cosas.

Las Luces de AmorLights of Love (Las Luces de Amor) han sido una tradicion en San Esteban

desde 1992. Ha sido una manera maravillosa para orar y para acordarnos

de nuestros seres queridos que han fallecido, mientras también levanta-

mos fondos para la cuenta de caridad de la parroquia.

Con Las Luces de Amor, acordamos de las personas especiales, dejando que

su luz brille ante nosotros (Mt 5:16) y oramos que disfruten de la luz eterna.

Esta tradición venerable se llevará a cabo durante el mes de noviembre, un

mes en que La Iglesia Católica siempre ha designado para acordarnos de

los que se nos fueron. El mes de noviembre comienza con El Día de Todos

Los Santos y El Día de los Fieles Difuntos precisamente por esta razón.

A lo largo del mes de noviembre, las luces estarán detrás de la estatua de

San Esteban, nuestro santo patrón. Al oscurecer, las luces de nuestros seres

queridos van a alumbrar a nuestra iglesia.

Los que quisieran reservar una o más luces están invitados a completar el

formulario en el boletín y entregarla a la o# cina parroquial antes del 31 de

octubre. La donación mínima es $10.00 por nombre. Los fondos recibidos

de este proyecto útil van a ser apartados para los necesitados. Al recibir los

nombres, se apuntan en unas hojas cerca de la estatua, y la cantidad de las

luces será lo mismo que la cantidad de nombres de los seres queridos. Que

nuestros # eles difuntos compartan la victoria de Cristo, y que disfruten la

visión de su gloria.
