LITURGY MATTERS Reassures From Our Tradition Eucharistic Prayer IV is, like Eucharistic Prayer III, a fresh composition from the 1960s, based on a prayer from the tradition of the an-cient church of Alexandria. It has an interesting structural feature. The new prayers all nod toward the East with the epiclesis, or calling down of the Spirit, over the gifts. In this prayer the Spirit is asked to come down again, after the consecration, to make holy the communicants who “partake of this one Bread and one Chalice that, gathered into one body by the Holy Spirit, they may truly become a liv-ing sacrifice in Christ to the praise of your glory.” This beauti-ful phrase is well worth meditating on. What is the goal of your reception of Holy Communion today? The preface for this Eucharistic Prayer is firmly attached to the prayer, and the directives for using the prayer anchor it to Ordinary Time. It is not intended to be an option if the Mass has a proper preface of its own, like a funeral, a Lenten weekday, or a great feast. It is not often used these days, in part because of these limitations. At first, it was suggested that this prayer was better suited to small groups of people who were well educated in scripture. This was kind of an odd stipulation, especially since its images are so beautiful and worthy of attention.

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe La práctica de usar nudos en una cuerda para contar oraciones tiene una larga trayectoria en la fe cristiana. Origi-nalmente un cordón con 150 nudos o piedritas se usaba para contar la recitación de los 150 salmos encontrados en la Sagrada Escritura. Con el tiempo, visto que mucha gente no podía leer o recitar de memoria los salmos, se sustituye-ron por el uso de 150 Padrenuestros. A finales de la Edad Media muchos sustituyeron los Padrenuestros con el saludo del ángel Gabriel a María. En el siglo XVI se formuló lo que hoy reconocemos como el Avemaría, y en el año 1569, el Papa Pío V estableció el Rosario en su forma y uso actual. En 1592 un fraile dominico mandó hacer una imagen de la Virgen del Rosario para su convento en Guatemala. Según la leyenda, María viajaba por América con su Hijito y éste se quedó dormido en Guatemala, por lo cual se quedaron allí. En 1821 los independistas guatemaltecos tomaron a la Vir-gen del Rosario como protectora y en 1833 fue nombrada patrona oficial de Guatemala.

DID YOU KNOW? Background Checks With school starting again, it’s likely that your children are participating in a variety of after-school activities. Many school sports and club programs are run by volunteers, of-ten parents with kids of their own in the school. It’s im-portant that the school or program takes measures to pro-tect all students, but as parents, it’s critical that you follow up and confirm that the proper checks have been done. The Archdiocese of Los Angeles uses fingerprinting as its core background check. All persons, whether paid or volunteer, who have regular contact with minors or vulnerable adults are fingerprinted. For more info, visit http://handbook.la-archdiocese.org/chapter-9/section-9-3.

Join us for the 100th Anniversary Public Square Rosary Crusade

America is at a historic crossroad. Secularists are trying to push God from the public square. They reject his beneficial action upon society. But without God, where will our leaders get the wisdom to solve the great problems we face? We must stop the secularist advance and pray to God for help. He will hear us if we pray through the intercession of his Blessed Mother. That’s why we’re launching the 2017 Public Square Rosary Crusade. In “The Secret of the Rosary,” Saint Louis de Montfort said: “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down his mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suf-fering.”

Únete a nosotros para la Cruzada del Rosario de la Plaza del 100º Aniversario

América está en una encrucijada histórica. Los seglares están tratando de sacar a Dios de la plaza pública. Ellos rechazan su acción benéfica sobre la sociedad. Pero sin Dios, ¿de dónde sacarán nuestros líderes la sabiduría para resolver los problemas de hoy en día? Debemos detener el avance seglar y pedirle a Dios su ayuda. Él nos escuchará si oramos por intermedio de la in-tercesión de la Virgen María. Por esta razón estamos inician-do la: Cruzada del Santo Rosario en la Plaza Pública del 2017. En su libro “El Secreto del Rosario”, San Luís de Montfort dice: “La oración pública es mucho más ponderosa que la oración privada para aplacar la ira de Dios e invocar su mis-ericordia y la Santa Madre Iglesia, guiada por el Espíritu Santo, siempre he promovido la oración en publica en tiem-pos de tragedia y sufrimiento colectivo”.

¿SABÍA USTED? Verificación de antecedentes Con el regreso a clases, es probable que sus hijos estén participando en una variedad de actividades después de la escuela. Muchos deportes escolares y programas de clubes son dirigidos por voluntarios, a menudo padres de familia con hijos propios en la escuela. Es importante que la escue-la o el programa tome medidas para proteger a todos los estudiantes, pero como padres, es crítico que usted siga y confirme que se hayan realizado los chequeos apropiados. La Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles usa huellas dactilares co-mo su verificación de antecedentes principal. Se toman las huellas dactilares de todas las personas, pagadas o volunta-rias, que tienen contacto regular con menores o con adultos vulnerables.

Peaceful Heart While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

—St. Francis of Assisi

Corazón Apacible Cuando proclames paz con tus labios, cuídate de tenerla más ple-namente en tu corazón.

—San Francisco de Asís
