Charity

Charity is that with which no one is lost, and without which no one is saved.

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe

Los cristianos creemos que Jesucristo esta físicamente presente en el pan y el vino consagrado durante la Misa. Esta creencia es tan antigua como nuestra Iglesia, pero fue solo en el siglo XIII que los cristianos comenzaron a venerar la presencia sacramentada de Jesús en la hostia. Fue durante esta época que nació la fiesta de Corpus Cristi o la actual celebración del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Muchas comunidades cristianas celebran esta fiesta con procesiones y cantos en honor al Santísimo Sacramento del altar. Recuerdo que en Texas el pueblo méxicoamericano cantaba: “Bendito, bendito, bendito sea Dios, / los ángeles cantan y alaban a Dios (2x). Yo creo Dios mío que estas en el altar / oculto en la hostia ten vengo adorar (2x)”. Este canto enfatiza la verdadera presencia de Jesús en el pan consagrado, pero sus cantores ignoran el hecho que nosotros también fuimos consagrados en el Bautismo; consagrados para “alter Cristus” (otro Cristo) en el vecindario. En un mundo donde menos gente asiste a Misa el único Corpus Cristi que la mayoría de la gente secularizada verá es tu cuerpo. Ojalá podamos comportarnos como buenos testigos de la fe y que proclamemos “bendito, bendito” siempre y en todo lugar. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

A Walk Through the Year With Our Pilgrims

Calendar Fundraiser We are blessed to have active youth in our parish -

this means to say that our Church has a future. The youth are essential members of our Church. The calendar fundraiser is for our Youth Pilgrimage in July to different Holy sites such as Lourdes, Assisi, Rome and Vatican City. On the pilgrimage, we have 2 priests, a deacon, 13 youth pilgrims and their chaperones

To donate to the Calendar fundraiser:

Pick a special date on the calendar when you would like to offer a Mass intention. For example, a birthday, wedding anniversary, requiem mass or death anniversary of a loved one, or feast day of a favorite Saint.

Donate the amount for that day: January 1st is $1, January 2nd is $2, January 3rd is $3, but it’s past those dates already. So we begin on Monday, January 22nd is $22, February 1st is $32, February 2nd is $33 all the way to December 31st is $365.

Keep in mind that this is different from our usual Mass intentions that go to our parish funds. This calendar fundraiser has been used in other parishes and it’s been very effective such as in St. Mary’s Church in Vacaville. We do hope that you support our Youth in our parish. Any monetary support you can give is greatly appreciated. God bless your generosity.

Treasures From Our Tradition

The origins of today’s solemnity lie in thirteenth-century Belgium. In those days, people seldom received Holy Communion, and never from the chalice. A nun in a troubled convent, Juliana of Liège, devoted her life to stirring up love for the Eucharist, lobbying for a feast day to honor the Blessed Sacrament with Masses and processions.

Juliana may have been inspired by the Ascension Day processions in nearby Bruges. Crusaders brought a treasure home to Bruges from Constantinople in 1204: a reliquary said to contain a cloth from Joseph of Arimathea with which he had helped prepare the body of Jesus for burial. The stain on the cloth was said to be the holy blood itself, and so the people of Bruges built a great basilica to house the relic. Bruges became a great center of pilgrimage because of this treasure, and the procession of the Holy Blood is still one of the greatest festivals in Belgium today. The bishop carries the relic through the narrow streets, and the people wear medieval costumes and act out scenes from the Bible. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
