CHURCH ETIQUETTE

It seems that we don’t have a problem to dress up for wed-dings, funerals, office parties, or dates — but seems that for

attending Mass it’s not as important. Just because weather is hot don't think that wearing summer attire to mass is

proper like, shorts, spaghetti straps or flip-flops. Just say no. Let us give proper respect the Lord.

No tenemos problema para vestirnos bien para bodas, fune-

rales, fiestas, o citas — pero vestirnos para la misa se a

vuelto no tan importante. Solo porque el clima es caliente no piense que puede usar pantalones cortos (shorts), blusas

de tirantes o chancletas. Solo diga no. Demostrémosle a Dios el respeto que se merece.

If you have not had the opportunity to donate to the Di-

ocesan Services Fund this year, please fill out an enve-lope located at the entrance of the church or go visit

The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace.—James 3:18 Pg 4

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

Toward the end of the second century, a churchman in North Africa, Tertullian, described an early form of pen-

ance. Imagine if it had survived! There were three steps to this very public ritual. The unfortunate sinner was

brought before the community in an itchy garment of

goat’s hair. The communities of the day were small and intimate, and everyone knew everyone else. The shame

of exposure for a big sin—murder, idolatry, or adultery—would have been profound. The penitent would beg the

community for prayers of intercession, and then go sit in a place assigned to penitents. After this public confession,

the penitent would be assigned some discipline, usually a

relatively severe fast, or the wearing of distinctive garb. This remedy for sin was for a certain period of time, or at

least until the bishop (every small community has its own bishop) judged that enough was enough. Then the per-

son would be readmitted to the eucharistic community,

although Tertullian doesn’t tell us how. Probably the bishop tenderly placed his hands on their heads, precisely

where they were anointed at baptism. We do know that the readmission of penitents to the eucharistic table be-

came in some churches a great celebration, and there are records from Spain of bishops leading penitents in a

dance‑like processional into the eucharistic hall on Holy

Thursday. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Cuando Jesús hablaba de sí mismo, muchas veces lo

hizo en tercera persona, refiriéndose así mismo como: “El Hijo del Hombre”. En hebreo, la expresión hijo de hombre

se escribe ben Adam (hijo de Adán/hombre) o kibar anash (hijo del humano). Normalmente pensamos que con este título Jesús se está identificando con nosotros

quienes somos ben Adam. No obstante, el Nuevo Testa-mento prefiere Huios anthropos que se encuentra en el

libro de Daniel 7:11-14. En Daniel, el Hijo del Hombre no es un simple ser humano, es un ser glorificado que llega

en las nubes y Dios le otorga dominio, honor y gloria.

En la época de Jesús se esperaba que el Hijo del Hombre sería el pobre y oprimido que, rescatado por

Dios, recibía el derecho de juzgar a sus opresores. El Hijo del Hombre sabe lo que es sufrir, por eso, en lugar de

vengarse, es misericordioso. Jesús es este “Hijo del Hom-

bre” que se identifica con los hijos e hijas de Adán, espe-cialmente con las personas más débiles y abusadas.

Vendrá para juzgar a vivos y muertos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Helping Hands Compassion Ministry

In the entrance of the church there are flyers requesting your help for our funeral ministry. Please read the infor-

mation, pray about it, and complete the checklist if you are able to help. As our parish numbers grow, so does

our need for additional helping hands for our Compassion

Ministry.

Manos de Ayuda Ministerio de Compasión En la entrada de la iglesia encontrara un volante

solicitando su ayuda para nuestro “ministerio de compasión” (Funeral). Por favor lea la información, reze

por este ministerio, y complete la lista si es que esta

dispuesta(o) a ayudar. Así como nuestra comunidad ha crecido, así también nuestras necesidades. Esa es la

razón por la que necesitamos la ayuda de sus manos y buena voluntad.
