Treasures from our Traditions The achievement of the late 1960s and early 1970s in enriching the "euchology" or "words of thanksgiving" available in the Church's prayer is important on many levels. Ecumenically, it means that the Latin Rite now reflects the wealth of the East in having more than one prayer available to the Church. Pastorally, it actually acknowledges the place of the assembly in prayer, which is particularly clear in the Masses with Children. In fact, the traditional prayers of the Eastern Church served as models for our new prayers. In the East, what we call the Eucharistic Prayer is called the anaphora, and there are three main families of anaphora. Each family has a different "recipe" for arranging the usual parts of these prayers. All anaphora have "intercessions" included, but the Churches of Antioch place them toward the end of the prayer, Alexandria prefers them at the beginning before the "Holy, Holy," and Syria puts them at the very end. One branch of the Syrian family is unique in not mentioning the words of Jesus at the Last Supper. The Roman Canon we once prayed exclusively has some connection with the Alexandrian family, but once the signal for creativity was given, all the wealth of every prayer tradition was on the table, and our Sunday Mass has been greatly enriched. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Compassion If you love the justice of Jesus Christ more than you fear human judgment, then you will seek to do compassion.

--Mechtilde of Magdeburg

Pray If you pray you are sure of saving your soul. If you do not pray you are just as sure to lose your soul.

Escucha Tus Sueños Dios visita a Salomón en un sueño, ¡y el relato bíblico no dice en ninguna parte que Salomón se despertó para tener esta conversación con Dios! Así, todavía en su sueño, Salomón responde a la pregunta de Dios sobre lo que más desea, y Dios le concede en abundancia su pedido de tener sabiduría. En nuestras horas de vigilia, estamos muy distraídos con el trabajo, la casa, la familia, el tráfico, la diver-sión y muchas preocupaciones. Cuando tratamos de pensar en qué es lo que realmente queremos en la vida, nos cuesta un poco imaginar lo que pueda ser. Mas allá en el fondo, moran nuestros verdaderos an-helos, que Dios y el Espíritu Santo conocen. Nuestros sueños, libres de las trabas de las defensas, pue-den guardar la clave de nuestras más hondas necesidades o lo que nos molesta más. Puede que sean el modo que Dios usa para hablarnos.

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe Esta semana celebramos la fiesta de la Virgen de Copacabana. Copacabana es la capital de Manco Cá-pac, Bolivia. En dicho lugar, un descendiente de los reyes incas, Francisco Tito Yupanqui buscó esculpir una imagen de la Candelaria. Su primera imagen fue colocada en la iglesia por su párroco, pero llegó un nuevo párroco quien la sacó del templo por tosca y fea. El pobre de Tito viajó a Potosí, Bolivia, donde em-prendió cursos de escultura. Con el tiempo esculpió otra imagen de la Candelaria. Esta vez estudió varias imágenes de María y mandó ofrecer una Misa a la Santísima Trinidad pidiéndole la inspiración necesaria para esculpir una imagen digna de la Virgen. Los años de práctica en su arte, unidos a su devoción, le ayudaron a esculpir una imagen fina y bella que en 1583 fue colocada en su propio santuario. La Virgen de Copacabana tiene uno de los primeros santuarios marianos en América Latina. Curiosamen-te, se celebra el 5 de agosto, día que María hizo nevar en la antigua ciudad de Roma, Italia, para mostrar dónde deseaba tener su primer templo. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J.

Solo Uno Dios nos ama a cada uno como si no existiese nadie más. --San Agustín

Stewardship: the new TimeTreasureTalent Time is such a valuable and limited resource. Today’s busy schedules often preclude us

from doing something good for us or even something we want to do. Many of us push aside our prayer life, even though it will help us become better Christians and better people. Most of us build weekly Mass into our schedules, but that might be the end of our spiritual development. Others attend daily Mass as well, especially during Lent. Now, attend and be present are two different things. When we attend we may have an aura of obligation and “just have to get this done and go on to my life.” When we are present, we have an aura of joy, peace, and “wouldn’t be anywhere else!” That presence can become ministry. With a little courage and training and formation, we can serve our brothers and sisters at Mass and enhance their experience and our own. We can offer our selves and our time as hospitality ministers, helping people to feel welcome at our Mass,; as choir members, helping to lead the Main Choir (all of us) in song; as lectors, delivering the Word of God in all its power to our parish family; as communion ministers, sharing the Body and Blood of Christ with others. That’s just at Mass! We could go out from Mass and serve at the Lord’s Table, Saint Joseph Family Center, Rebekah’s, or at many other places that need people power. When we do that, when we serve others, then we ARE the Body of Christ for others.

Please prayerfully consider how you can be a good steward of our world, its people, and our parish.
