IF I AM BUSY?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) says, “On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass” (CCC 2180).
“Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin” (CCC 2181).
This excludes those who cannot attend for unavoidable reasons such as illness or infirmity, for example. Life can get so busy that when Sunday comes around each week, it becomes just another day to run errands or catch up on sleep or chores. Yet, God intended the Sabbath (Sunday for Catholics) to be a holy day for us, when we reconnect with Him. That’s one of the reasons He gave us the Third Commandment. Attending Mass each week is not just something we have to do; it is something we get to do.
At Mass, each faithful Catholic is fed with abundant graces. We know that our Lord is truly present in the Eucharist, and we receive His body and blood in this Sacrament. The Mass is a precious gift to us. Try not to miss even one.
World Marriage Day 2012
During all Masses the weekend of February 11 and 12, married couples will renew their vows at Mass in celebration of World Marriage Day.
Considera ser un ujier (acomodador).
Necesitamos de su ayuda para dar la bienvenida a nuestros feligreses e invitados a la sagrada liturgia con una sonrisa y un saludo amigable.
Los ujieres/recibidores se paran en la entrada de la iglesia. Al final de la Liturgia de La Palabra, ellos asisten juntando los diezmos, y si es necesario, ayudan a encontrar asientos y reparten los boletines al final de la misa. Si estas interesado en ser parte de este ministerio, deja tu nombre y tu telefono en el Centro de Bienvenida o llama a Larry al 281.554.6553.
La celebración de todos y cada Bautizo es una celebración comunitaria. Al dar la bienvenida a los niños en el Cuerpo de Cristo y sus padres hacer promesas para criarlos como discípulos de Jesucristo, no sólo es una ocasión especial para la familia, sino para toda la comunidad parroquial.
En San Pablo los feligreses están invitados a ser parte de nuestro ministerio bautismal para dar la bienvenida a las familias en la celebración mensual de bautismo.
Cada mes, el primer domingo (excepto en Cuaresma) a las 2 pm se celebra el sacramento del bautismo en inglés.
Cada mes, el segundo domingo (excepto en Cuaresma) a las 2 pm celebramos el Sacramento del Bautismo en español.
Invitamos a los feligreses de habla inglesa y española a formar parte de estos eventos. Miembros del ministerio bautismal dan la bienvenida a las familias y extienden la hospitalidad. Se presentan y dan la bienvenida a las familias de San Pablo. Indican dónde sentarse y guían a los padres s a través del rito, también ayudan a los diáconos. Dan atención a los bebes, felicitan a los padres y, en general, sirven como imagen de bienvenida de la comunidad parroquial.
El tiempo de compromiso para servir en nuestro ministerio de bautismo de la parroquia es mínimo; una clase de entrenamiento y después una hora al mes. Pero usted hará una diferencia en la experiencia de las familias del día que recordaran por décadas.
Favor de llamar al 281.334.0310 para más información sobre los bautizos en inglés y José Juan Valdez 281.333.3891 ext. 339 para información sobre los bautizos en español.
OLD TEXT
In the Nicene Creed:
“We believe in one God…maker of Heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen”
“We believe in one Lord…begotten, not made, one in being with the Father”…
NEW TEXT
“I believe in one God…maker of Heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible”
“I believe in one Lord…begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father”….
One way to prepare for the new translation of the Mass is to make the new words and phrases part of your daily prayer, perhaps following the suggestions below. You might also want to remember in your prayers those who are working to help all of us to pray in these new words, especially the priests who will be learning almost the entire Missal anew.
Use “We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you” (from the Gloria) as a daily prayer. Repeat it several times, focusing on these different ways that we pray to God.
Reflect on the different ways the Creed describes Christ: (Light from Light; begotten, not made). Include “consubstantial with the Father” as you pray about how the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are one God.
Repeat the prayer “It is right and just to give thanks to the Lord our God” several times during the day.
Find a copy of the new memorial acclamations and use one as your daily offering in the morning, your night prayer before bedtime, or a table grace.
When you walk through your door at home, pray “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.”
