El significado de la

Bastón de caramelo

Hace muchos años, un

fabricante de dulces

quería hacer un caramelo

que simbolizara el

verdadero significado de

la Navidad: Jesús.

El caramelo duro tenía la

forma de una "J" para

representar que Jesús es

nuestra roca de todas las

edades. El caramelo

estaba hecho de blanco

para defender la pureza

de Jesús. El rojo

representa la sangre que

Jesús derramó para

salvarnos de nuestros

pecados.

Así que la próxima vez

que veas un bastón de

caramelo tómate un

minuto para recordar el

verdadero significado de

Navidad.

The Meaning of the

Candy Cane

Many years ago a

candymaker wanted to

make a candy that would

symbolize the true

meaning of

Christmas—Jesus.

The hard candy was

shaped like a “J” to

represent that Jesus is

our rock of all ages. The

candy was made of white

to stand for the pureness

of Jesus. The red

represents the blood that

Jesus shed to save us

from our sins.

So the next time you see

a candy cane take a

minute to remember the

real meaning of

Christmas.

ST. GENEVIEVE PARISH 12 DECEMBER 2021

YOU ARE MY

INHERITANCE!

Faithful Departed Question: How can we pray for the dead throughout the year? Answer: We commemorate the faithful departed on November 2nd each year. However, we can and should continue to pray for the dead. Our growth in Christian perfection takes a long time. At the time of our death, many of us might not be saints yet. But God, in His mercy, allows for those who love Him to experience purification after death. Our word for that state is Purgatory. It’s the antechamber of heaven, so to speak. We know we’re getting in the house, but we’re not quite ready to go all the way in. There’s rain to shake off our coats and dirt that’s clogging our shoes. Here on earth, we can pray for the souls in Purgatory. One way is to request that your parish offer a Mass for the intention of a specific loved one. We can also remember the departed in our daily prayers. Just as we have special intentions for family and friends here on earth, we can pray for those who have died. It’s also a good act of Christian charity to pray for the forgotten, those who have no one else

to pray for them. God knows who they are! ©LPi

Fieles Difuntos Pregunta:

¿Cómo podemos orar por los muertos durante todo el año?

Respuesta:

Conmemoramos a los fieles que partieron el 2 de noviembre

de cada año. Sin embargo, podemos y debemos continuar

orando por los muertos. Nuestro crecimiento en la perfección

cristiana lleva mucho tiempo. En el momento de nuestra

muerte, muchos de nosotros podríamos no ser santos todavía.

Pero Dios, en Su misericordia, permite que aquellos que lo

aman experimenten la purificación después de la muerte.

RespuestaNuestra palabra para ese estado es Purgatorio. Es la

antecámara del cielo, por así decirlo. Sabemos que estamos

entrando en la casa, pero no estamos listos para llegar hasta el

final. Hay lluvia para sacudir nuestros abrigos y suciedad que

está obstruyendo nuestros zapatos.

Aquí en la tierra, podemos orar por las almas en el Purgatorio.

Una forma es solicitar que su parroquia ofrezca una misa por

la intención de un ser querido específico. También podemos

recordar a los difuntos en nuestras oraciones diarias. Así como

tenemos intenciones especiales para la familia y los amigos

aquí en la tierra, podemos orar por aquellos que han muerto.

También es un buen acto de caridad cristiana orar por los

olvidados, aquellos que no tienen a nadie más para orar por

ellos. ¡Dios sabe quiénes son!
