The word "catechism" comes from Greek verb katechein, which means
sion, death and resurrection for our redemption, the Church, Mary, heaven,
to teach orally Early Christians used the term to refer to instruction in the elements of the faith. Those who were being instructed were called catechumens. Over the centuries there were many commentaries and manuals for instructing people in the faith, but "catechism" became the standard term for such texts only after the appearance of Martin Luther's Kleiner Katechismus {Little Catechism) in 1529. His Grosser Katechismus (Big Catechism), a more detailed compendium for teachers and preachers, appeared the following year.

Although not required to do so, Johnson wears her Tau around her neck every day as a personal reminder of her commitment. The Tau T-shaped icon for the Franciscans symbolized for St. Francis hope amid confusion. A sign of a "new and humble people of God," it is a mark of Jesus and his work of love. Another cherished item for Johnson is an "ugly, gray bowl with a crack in it." To her, however, the bowl is "beautiful." "It reminds me of my sinful nature and my need to empty myself of my own agendas so I can leave room for God." As a Franciscan, she doesn't have to be perfect. She just has to leave room and plenty of it for God. For information about the Charlotte St. Maximilian Kolbe Fraternity, call Marcia Ebner, (704)362-2705. The

Pope Hopes To Be Out Of ROME (CNS) — Greeting visitors from the window of the hospital room where he has been recovering from a broken leg for more than three weeks, Pope John Paul II said he hoped his next Sunday address would take place at the Vatican as normal. The pope explained part of the reason he was kept in the hospital past his
expected release date of May 21 for treatment of a broken thigh bone. Orthopedic surgeons and a variety of other specialists "have cared for me and have examined me," he said May 22, making his first public appearance at the window of the Gemelli hospital. "I have never been examined like this in my life," he said. "They are thoroughly examining me. I hadn't known that some of those organs existed." But, he said, the doctors and nurses have promised he could leave soon. "I hope you don' t come here again," he told the small crowd gathered outside

For the fourth Sunday in a row, the pope recorded his Sunday midday prayer and address. The message was broadcast to St. Peter's Square, where thousands usually gather under his apartment window to see him and receive his blessing.

I express my gratitude to you and to all in the Diocese of Charlotte for the generous 1993 offering of $37,017 for the Propagation of the Faith and $539 for the Society of St. Peter Apostle. I recently had the great joy of visiting the Central African Republic where the Church is celebrating the first centenary of the initial arrival of missionaries. To see how much God has accomplished in so short a time and those through these dedicated missionaries is whose prayers and sacrifices have supported them truly to witness a miracle of His transforming grace. It is our support of this missionary activity, Pope John Paul reminds us, which "renews the Church, revitalizes faith and Christian identity, and offers fresh enthusiasm and new incentive" (Redemptoris Missio 2). Animating the missionary spirit is the paramount objective of the Propagation of the Faith and I know you will encourage this spirit. I am very grateful for the effective collaboration of your Diocesan Director, Msgr.

No estamos solos. La liturgia de este domingo nos invita a reflexionar sobre el fundamento de nuestra fe. Nosotros creemos en Dios Padre, Hijo y Espiritu Santo. Dios no es un idea, sino una Persona. El es la vida. Es la salvacion que se nos ofrece a todos nosotros en Jesucristo. Dios se nos ha manifestado para salvarnos y para salvarnos en la mas alta manifestation de si mismo: un solo Dios en tres personas divinas, la Santisima Trinidad: Padre, Hijo y Espiritu Santo. El Padre es la primera persona de la Trinidad y nos llama a la salvacion con inmensa benevolencia: quere la felicidad de todos sus hijos. El Hijo, Jesucristo, es la segunda persona y se hizonuestro hermano y por nosotros murio en la cruz, pagando con su sangre por todos nuestros pecados. El Espiritu Santo es la tercera persona de la
Trinidad
Santisima Trinidad que, enviado por Padre y el Hijo, lleva a cabo la obra de
el la
salvacion.
Las
tres divinas
personas son unico
Espiritu purfsimo, unico ser perfectfsimo,
unico principio y fin de todas las cosas. Un solo Dios que nos habla a todos nosotros como amigos personales y a todos nos invita para que vayamos jubilosos a la casa comun, como cantamos

liturgia.
