There was a time when the liberal movements snubbed all traditions and devotions in the Catholic Church. Many good faithful believers were confused as to what to believe and what not to, on their faith journey. Church published the Catechism of the Catholic Church clearly enumerating all the teachings, prayers, and practices that are accepted and taught by the church for every member and for those who want to learn about and become an active member of the church. Since the publication of this book there is no anxiety or ambiguity on matters of faith and doctrines in the church. There is an original Catechism text and there are several handbooks where those teachings are summarized for easy access and understanding. Once we take few minutes to familiarize with the book, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is very easy to use.

The materials in the book are organized to “allow a better knowledge of the Christian mystery and for enlivening the faith of the people of God. The text has four parts, (1) The Creed, (2) the Sacred Liturgy with the Sacraments, (3) the Christian way of life with the ten commandments, and (4) the Christian Prayer. All these flow from one to the other at the same time they are interwoven as well in the believer’s life. The book provides the wonderful unity of the mystery of God, His saving will, as well as the central place of Jesus Christ , the only begotten Son of God, sent by the Father, made man in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit to be our Savior. Having died and Risen, Christ is always present in His church, especially in the sacraments. He is the source of our faith, the model of Christian conduct, and the Teacher of our prayer. This book is a reference to all the Catholic Doctrines. It helps us to deepen our knowledge of the unfathomable riches of salvation.

As a reference book on the teachings of the Church, this book helps us to free ourselves form the false narratives of the social media and the liberal world regarding matters of faith and Catholic conduct. It gives us a clarity on right and wrong and helps us to form our conscious according to the teachings of the Lord through His Church. We can help our children to use this as a guide regarding our life and life styles, and protect them from being misled by the propaganda media and antichristian ideologies out in the world.

God bless you all.

From the Pastor’s Desk / Del Escritorio del Padre

Hubo un tiempo en que los movimientos liberales rechazaron todas las tradiciones y devociones en la Iglesia Católica. Muchos buenos creyentes fieles estaban confundidos en cuanto a qué creer y qué no hacer, en su camino de fe. La Iglesia publicó el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica que enumera claramente todas las enseñanzas, oraciones y prácticas aceptadas y enseñadas por la iglesia para cada miembro y para aquellos que desean aprender y convertirse en miembros activos de la iglesia. Desde la publicación de este libro, no hay ansiedad o ambigüedad en asuntos de fe y doctrinas en la iglesia. Hay un texto original de Catecismo y hay varios manuales donde se resumen esas enseñanzas para facilitar el acceso y la comprensión. Una vez que nos tomamos unos minutos para familiarizarnos con el libro, el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica es muy fácil de usar. Los materiales en el libro están organizados para “permitir un mejor conocimiento del misterio cristiano y para animar la fe del pueblo de Dios. El texto tiene cuatro partes, (1) El Credo, (2) la Sagrada Liturgia con los Sacramentos, (3) el modo de vida cristiano con los diez mandamientos, y (4) la Oración cristiana. Todos estos fluyen de uno a otro al mismo tiempo que se entrelazan también en la vida del creyente. El libro proporciona la maravillosa unidad del misterio de Dios, Su salvación, así como el lugar central de Jesucristo, el Hijo unigénito de Dios, enviado por el Padre, hecho hombre en el vientre de la Santísima Virgen María por el Poder del Espíritu Santo para ser nuestro Salvador. Habiendo muerto y resucitado, Cristo siempre está presente en su iglesia, especialmente en los sacramentos. Él es la fuente de nuestra fe, el modelo de conducta cristiana y el Maestro de nuestra oración. Este libro es una referencia a todas las Doctrinas Católicas. Nos ayuda a profundizar nuestro conocimiento de las riquezas insondables de la salvación. Como libro de referencia sobre las enseñanzas de la Iglesia, este libro nos ayuda a liberarnos de las falsas narrativas de las redes sociales y el mundo liberal en relación con los asuntos de fe y la conducta católica. Nos da claridad sobre el bien y el mal y nos ayuda a formar nuestra conciencia de acuerdo con las enseñanzas del Señor a través de Su Iglesia. Podemos ayudar a nuestros hijos a usar esto como una guía con respecto a nuestra vida y estilos de vida, y protegerlos de ser engañados por los medios de propaganda y las ideologías anticristianas en el mundo. Dios los bendiga a todos.

Los cristianos deben ofrecer a sus hermanos hospitalidad simple y sin

pretensiones. —San Basilio

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

América es un continente nacido del mestizaje

que tomó a los europeos, los indígenas y los africanos

para engendrar algo nuevo. Normalmente pensamos en el

mestizaje de sangre que produjo nuevas razas

latinoamericanas. Pero también existe el mestizaje cultural

que produce nuevos elementos latinoamericanos. Uno de

estos es el sarape, hijo de la tilma pre-colombina y el

manto español. Este mestizaje en tela tiene sus principios

en el siglo XVIII con una proliferación de talleres en

Zacatecas, Saltillo y otros lugares. Esta cobija colorida, de

algodón o lana, fue desarrollada para añadir color y

belleza a los charros de siglos pasados.

A través de la historia el sarape ha sido usado por

vaqueros, jinetes, soldados y revolucionarios. Hoy día el

sarape, jorongo, frazada, gabán o cobija se ha convertido

en símbolo de tradición mexicana y se encuentro

decorando hogares, restaurantes e iglesias. México no es

el único país que ha desarrollado un mestizaje en tela,

también Guatemala, Colombia, El Salvador y otros más

tienen sus telas y tapetes particulares que mezclan los

colores y los diseños para celebrar el talento y la

creatividad del mestizaje latinoamericano.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There’s a different pace to a summer Sunday, especially on those days when we dream of air conditioning and wave any available paper to stir the air. Yet we persist in gathering, even with so many breaks from the usual routines. We distance ourselves not only from routines, but from schedules and familiar well-worn paths. These are playful days and contemplative days. We see long-lost friends and visit almost-forgotten places. We have more leisure than any people before in the history of the world, and we need it because our lives are so care-worn and tiring. More of us walk barefoot and look up at the stars or dip our toes in the lake or sea, sing around campfires, read novels on the beach, and eat comfort food with our fingers. We see how beautiful life can be, and are more aware than usual of how God is always breaking in with signs of love.

In Genesis today, Abraham and Sarah practice hospitality to their visitors, who turn out to be God dropping in. During the summer months, God practices hospitality in return, inviting us into a season of celebration. Keeping Sunday holy is a good habit to cultivate in these days when our spirits are especially receptive to God’s deep desire for us to know divine love.—James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

A MINDSET OF SERVICE

There’s a lot of traveling, delivering, and visiting going on in our readings today. In Genesis Abraham cares for the needs of three mysterious travelers. The psalm responds, celebrating the kind of righteousness that Abraham practices. Then, in his letter to the Colossians, Saint Paul describes his own ministry as almost like a delivery service: he, God’s steward, brings the word of God to their community. Finally, Luke’s Gospel shares the well-known story of Mary and Martha, and the different ways they welcome Jesus into their home. Amid all this coming and going, we are invited to pay attention to the ways we tend to the needs of others. Each of us can ask, How am I present to God and others in my life? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

UNA MENTALIDAD DE SERVICIO

Hay varios viajes, entregas y visitas que pasan en las

lecturas de hoy. En el libro del Génesis, Abraham

atiende las necesidades de los tres viajeros

misteriosos. La respuesta del salmo, celebra la

justicia que Abraham practica. Entonces, en su carta

a los colosenses, san Pablo describe su propio

ministerio como algo que es para darse como

servicio: él, administrador de Dios, trae la palabra de

Dios a su comunidad. Finalmente, el Evangelio de

Lucas, comparte la historia bien conocida de Marta y

María, y la manera diferente como recibieron en su

casa a Jesús. En medio de todo este trajinar, se nos

invita a poner atención en las formas que atendemos

las necesidades de los demás. Cada uno de nosotros

podemos preguntar, ¿cómo presento mi vida a Dios

y a otros? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
