Etiqueta apropiada para la Misa - continuación

Además de tener un silencio de tiempo antes de la Misa, la Instrucción General para el Misal Romano (GIRM) también menciona otros momentos durante la Misa donde se observa silencio. Por ejemplo, en la introducción del rito penitencial, el sacerdote dice "Reconozcamos nuestros pecados para poder celebrar dignamente estos sagrados misterio..." Sigue un breve momento de silencio que nos permite recordar conscientemente nuestros fracasos y solicitar la misericordia del Señor.

Otro momento breve de silencio debe seguir a cada lectura de las Escrituras. Este ritmo algo lento y deliberado permite que la mente absorba el significado de las lecturas de las Escrituras. Si los pasajes de las Escrituras se leen rápidamente sin pausa, es como tratar de tomar un trago de una manguera contra incendios

Proper Etiquette for Mass - continued

In addition to having a time silence before Mass the General Instruction for the Roman Missal (GIRM) also mentions other times during Mass where silence is observed. For example, at the introduction of the penitential rite the priest says “Let us acknowledge our sins that we might worthily celebrate these sacred mysteries…” A brief moment of silence follows to allow us to consciously remember our failings and request the Lord’s mercy.

Another brief moment of silence should follow each scripture reading. This somewhat slow and deliberate pace allows the mind to absorb the meaning of the scripture readings. If the scripture passages are read quickly with no pause, it‘s like trying to take a drink from a fire hose.

This week our young parishioners preparing for the Sacrament of Reconcilia on for the first me began receiving the sacrament. Please keep them in your prayers.

Parents of 10-12th Graders preparing for Confirma on, you should have received the registra on informa on for their 20-22 March Retreat. The registra on forms are due back to the parish office this Monday, 9 March. Please contact the Religious Educa on office if you have any ques ons.

All parents, there will be no classes on Sunday, 22 March or Wednesday, 25 March due to the LCPS Spring Break. All

classes will resume on Sunday, 29 March or Wednesday, 1 April.

A message from Bishop Peter Baldacchino: Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, and I ask for your support for this important mission.

The collection helps our brothers and sisters like the people of Armenia, who have experienced persecution and displacement throughout their history and now live scattered throughout the world—many in areas of the former Soviet bloc countries such as Georgia, Russia, and other areas of Eastern Europe. Coping with difficult life circumstances and often isolated from their religious and cultural heritage, Armenian Catholic youth are particularly vulnerable.

Please be generous to the collection, because your support helps foster nurturing communities in which youth can share and grow in faith. For more information about the collection and who it supports, visit www.usccb.org/ccee.Thank you for your help to restore the Church and build the future in Central and Eastern Europe.

This collection will take place the weekend of Saturday, and Sunday, March 21-22, 2020.

Educa onal Opportuni es Sponsored by the New Mexico Chapter of the Alzheimers Associa on - Las Cruces Worldwide, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer's and other demen as, and the number of Americans living with Alzheimer's is growing. Eighty-three percent of the help provided to older adults in the United States comes from family members, friends or other unpaid caregivers. Nearly half of all caregivers who provide help to older adults do so for someone living with Alzheimer's or another demen a. Alzheimer's takes a devasta ng toll on caregivers. Compared with caregivers of people without demen a, twice as many caregivers of those with demen a indicate substan al emo onal, financial and physical difficul es. To help be er understand Alzheimer's and demen a, and learn about available programs and resources, the Alzheimer's Associa on in Las Cruces is sponsoring "Communica ons and Behavior", on Tuesday, March 31, 2020, from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m., at Crossroads in Home, 189 Howard Place, Las Cruces, and "Introduc on to Alzheimer's" on Tuesday, April 28, 2020 from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m., at Crossroads in Home, 189 Howard Place, Las Cruces. These classes are free of charge and open to caregivers and others interested in this subject ma er.

Are you, or is someone you love, interested in the Catholic faith?

Would you like to be Baptized?

Perhaps you are already a Catholic adult, but are missing some of your sacraments?

If your answer is, “Yes!” to any of these questions, then we have the classes for you!

You are cordially invited to join us for the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
