Living Our Faith

Often times, we can view the apostles as being much stronger and wiser than we are. However, that isn’t the case. They differentiated themselves because they said ‘yes’ to Jesus. But even then, even in his presence, they still doubted and worried... much like each of us can do from time to time. It can be hard to stay the course in a world that often fights against us. However, just as Jesus continued to have strong faith in the apostles, even when they had little faith in him, he has strong faith in each and every one of us regardless of the mistakes we make. He simply asks us if we are willing to say ‘yes’. And if we are, we have him, God the Father and the Holy Spirit on our side to help do his work to make disciples of all nations. This does not mean we go door-to-door asking people if they know Jesus. All of us are called, however, to show Jesus to others through our actions. St. Francis of Assisi told his followers, “Go and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and, if necessary, use words.” With Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit, our lives are the best examples of God’s love and his forgiving mercy.

Viviendo Nuestra Fe

En cuanto celebramos la Fiesta del Santísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo, ¿recordamos este maravilloso regalo que Jesucristo nos ha dado a cada uno de nosotros—Su Cuerpo y Sangre— para que podamos vivir eternamente con El? Hay algunos que consideran la Santa Comunión solamente como un símbolo en vez de lo que verdaderamente es: Dios presente en el altar por uno de los más grandes misterios que continuamente se manifiesta. Pero si escucha cuidadosamente notará que Cristo dice, “...este ES mi cuerpo,” y “...esta ES mi sangre.” El no hablo de esto como habla de otras enseñanzas como cuando dijo, “... fe COMO un granito de mostaza.” Si deseamos la vida eterna, tenemos que comer de Su Cuerpo y beber de Su Sangre en la Eucaristía. Jesús esta verdaderamente presente de manera física en cada Misa para que podamos unirnos a El en la Santa Comunión más allá de la oración y la alabanza. Es uno de los regalos más esenciales y más preciosos de nuestra fe católica. Permanecemos en Jesús, y Jesús permanece en nosotros a través de la Eucaristía. Por eso es sumamente importante que tomemos tiempo para preparar nuestro corazón antes y durante la Misa para que podamos aceptar este regalo con reverencia y amor. Ojalá que tengamos la fe para realmente honrar la presencia de Cristo en la Eucaristía. Y que nosotros, a través de la recepción de la Comunión, seamos testigos del amor de Dios y pongamos primero a Dios en nuestras vidas. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADVERTISE IN OUR BULLETIN?

With the year winding down, our Pre-K through 1st grade is taking liberties with some fun and creative ideas. As part of creative time during class, students decorated life-size box cars. As an additional part of the fun, students watched the movie "Cars" in Wozniak Hall for an old fashioned drive-in movie. They shared popcorn and snacks with their friends across grades and had a great afternoon. Blessings, Ms. Tamara Luera Director of Advancement
