Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time August 13, 2017

Truth shall spring out of the earth, 

and justice shall look down from heaven.

La fidelidad brotó en la tierra

y la justicia vino del cielo.              

-- Psalm 85:12/ -- Salmo 85:12

St Joseph Catholic Church † Iglesia Catolica San Jose

In the Catholic Spiritual Tradition examination of conscience and the resolution to amend are very important. No business will succeed unless they do periodic review and assessment followed by a resolution to improve. It is all the more important in our spiritual life. The examination of our conscience will help us to recognize how holy or unholy we are and to approach the celebration of the Holy Mass in humility and devotion. The awareness of our unworthiness generates a longing for His mercy and grace that we need for the celebration.

Careful examination of the conscience will cleanse and purify us leading to contrition and humble confession. Memory of our sins will grieve us. We lament our daily transgressions. Confess to God in the secret depths of our heart all the miseries our passions have caused. We find many reasons to lament and grieve: the worldliness, carnal, unmortified, roving lust, not guarding external senses, inclined to ease and the pleasures of the flesh, covetous of abundance and greed, inconsiderate in speech and undisciplined in character, prone to judge and condemn, deaf to the Word of God, careless in daily prayers, disregarding the need to maintain a healthy spiritual life while investing all time and energy into mundane and silly social communications, and so goes the list that will alert us motivating for a renewal and reorganization.

Such a careful examination will lead to good confession and a firm determination to amend the life and to advance in goodness. With a complete resignation and with the entire will offer yourself upon the altar of your heart as an everlasting sacrifice to the honor of His Name by entrusting with faith both body and soul to His care. Thus you will be considered worthy to draw near and offer the sacrifice to God and receive the Sacrament of His Body.

Therefore, a self-cleansing and a total surrender of oneself to the Lord will prepare us to worthily celebrate the Holy Mass and enjoy His coming to us in the Holy Communion.

We must train our children for this examination of conscience and proper celebration of the Holy Mass with love and devotion. Then only it will become a personal experience which will help them to establish a personal intimacy with Jesus every time they participate in the celebration of the Holy Mass.

God bless you all.

En la Tradición Espiritual Católica, el examen de conciencia y la resolución de enmendar son muy importantes. Ningún negocio tendrá éxito a menos que realice una revisión periódica y una evaluación seguida de una resolución para mejorar. Es lo más importante en nuestra vida espiritual. El examen de nuestra conciencia nos ayudará a reconocer lo santo o impío que somos y a acercarnos a la celebración de la Santa Misa con humildad y devoción. La conciencia de nuestra indignidad genera un anhelo de Su misericordia y gracia que necesitamos para la celebración. Un examen cuidadoso de la conciencia nos limpiará y nos purificará llevando a la contrición y a la humilde confesión. La memoria de nuestros pecados nos entristecerá. Lamentamos nuestras transgresiones diarias. Confiese a Dios en las profundidades secretas de nuestro corazón todas las miserias que nuestras pasiones han causado. Encontramos muchas razones para lamentar y afligir: el mondo, la carne no mortificada, la lujuria, no guardando los sentidos externos, inclinacion a la facilidad y los placeres de la carne, codicia de la abundancia y la avaricia, lijeros al habla y el carácter indisciplinado, Y sordos a la Palabra de Dios, descuidados en las oraciones diarias, sin tener en cuenta la necesidad de mantener una vida espiritual saludable, mientras invierten todo el tiempo y energía en comunicaciones sociales tontas, y así va la lista que nos alertará motivando para la Renovación y reorganización. Tal examen cuidadoso conducirá a la buena confesión ya una determinación firme de enmendar la vida y de avanzar en bondad. Con una completa resignación y con todo se ofrecerá sobre el altar de su corazón como un sacrificio eterno al honor de Su Nombre confiando en la fe tanto cuerpo como alma a Su cuidado. Así serás considerado digno de acercarte y ofrecer el sacrificio a Dios y recibir el Sacramento de Su Cuerpo. Por lo tanto, la auto-limpieza y una entrega total de uno mismo al Señor nos prepararán para celebrar la Santa Misa y disfrutar de Su venida a nosotros en la Sagrada Comunión. Debemos enseñar a nuestros hijos este examen de conciencia y la celebración apropiada de la Santa Misa con amor y devoción. Sólo entonces se convertirá en una experiencia personal que les ayudará a establecer intimidad personal con Jesús cada vez que participen en la celebración de la Santa Misa. Dios los bendiga a todos

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

  Frecuentemente, los santos y santas son personas molestas que desafían tanto a los fieles como a los infieles. Tal es el caso del agustino Ezequiel Moreno Díaz (1848-1906), obispo de Pasto, Colombia.

Nació en La Rioja, España, en el seno de una familia pobre. En 1865 ingresó en la orden de los agustinos y fue enviado como misionero a Filipinas. Luego se ofreció como misionero en Colombia donde buscó renovar la orden de los agustinos. En 1895 el Papa León XIII lo nombró obispo de Parma, lugar en el que le esperaba un martirio moral de calumnias, desprecios y humillaciones por parte de las autoridades civiles.

Sus mensajes y desafíos pastorales llevaron a los fieles a un mayor fervor apostólico a tal grado, que incomodó al gobierno.En 1898 buscó renunciar a su puesto como obispo para no continuar como causa de polémicas y problemas para la Iglesia. El Papa no per-mitió su renuncia, más bien lo animó a seguir promoviendo el celo apostólico por el bien del pueblo. La polémica nunca debe desanimar a los fieles en Cristo cuando se trata de mejorar la vida moral de la sociedad en la que se encuentran.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Roman Canon, called Eucharistic Prayer I, is probably seldom heard in your parish. Some priests will choose it for at least one of the Masses of Christmas, or the Easter Vigil. Such sparing use of this prayer seems strange, especially since it was the only Eucharistic Prayer in the Latin Rite for many centuries, from as long ago as 500 right up to 1970. In 1965, the vernacular language was approved for the canon of the Mass. Almost immediately, some experimental texts began to surface in the Netherlands, and priests began to use new Dutch texts without permission. By 1966, Pope Paul VI had set up a committee to consider whether or not it was time to approve such experimentation and extend it to non-Dutch churches. No sooner had the committee been formed than other individuals copied the Dutch by just plunging on ahead. The Dutch bishops had approved the use of the new prayers nationwide in 1968, and Flemish bishops in Belgium quickly agreed. By then, German translations of the Dutch prayers were in wide use, and before long nearly one hundred Eucharistic Prayers, all unapproved, were in circulation in France. The Vatican heard the widespread desire for more variety in Eucharistic Prayer forms, and, with the pope’s approval, the process of creating new official prayers began. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

NOTHING TO FEAR

A rabbi was asked why God sends trials and troubles into human lives. “Because God gets lonely for his people” was the reply. There is some resonance with this wisdom in today’s Gospel, as Jesus makes his disciples get into a boat without him and goes off alone while they venture into stormy waters. Of course, neither Jews nor Christians believe that the Almighty plays this sort of whimsical game with them, but there is some truth in the statement that we don’t turn to God for saving help until we’re in a bind. Peter’s role today, as it is throughout the New Testament, is to be a sign or to represent each member of the church and the whole church. Our story is the tale told about Peter’s faith today. What can bolster our faith is that even when Christ calls us to face bravely the tempests of life, if we are walking through them with our eyes fixed on him in faith, we have nothing to fear. Even when we falter or sink, simply crying “Lord, save me!” is enough to help us know the steady grasp of God’s hand. Then, sheltered inside the walls of faith, the storms we endure lose their power over us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

NADA QUE TEMER

A un rabino le preguntaron por qué Dios envía pruebas y tribulaciones a los humanos. “Porque Dios siente la ausencia de su pueblo”, fue la respuesta. Hay ecos de esta sabiduría en el Evangelio de hoy, cuando Jesús hace que sus discípulos se suban a la barca sin él y se va por su cuenta mientras ellos se aventuran en aguas turbulentas. Por cierto, ni judíos ni cristianos creen que el Todopoderoso hace este tipo de jugadas antojadizas con ellos, pero tiene algo de verdad la afirmación de que no acudimos a Dios pidiendo que nos salve sino cuando estamos en un apuro. Hoy el papel de Pedro, como aparece en todo el Nuevo Testamento, es ser un signo o representación de cada miembro de la Iglesia y de toda la Iglesia. Nuestra historia es el relato que se narra hoy sobre la fe de Pedro. Lo que puede aumentar nuestra fe es que aunque Cristo nos llama a encarar con valentía las tormentas de la vida, si las atravesamos con los ojos de la fe fijos en él, nada hemos de temer. Aunque demos un traspié o nos hundamos, basta gritar “¡Señor, sálvame!” para conocer la firmeza con la que Dios nos toma de la mano. Entonces, protegidos dentro de los muros de la fe, las tormentas que nos azoten no nos vencerán. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
