The Presentation of the Lord February 2, 2020

Presentación del Señor

2 de Febrero de 2020

How can I properly prepare for Mass? This week I continue my catechesis on the Eucharist and Mass. The previous 3 weeks I reminded parishioners that the Eucharist IS the Real Body and Blood of Jesus, and NOT a symbol of Jesus. I reminded you that the 1 hour fast from food and water is still in effect, except for those taking medication or for other health related reasons. Last week I wrote about the proper reception of Holy Communion. This week I write about how to prepare for Holy Mass. First, I encourage you to read the readings before Mass. They are available on line (USCCB.org) or you can purchase a Sunday or Weekday Missalette. Being familiar with the readings helps you to better listen to God speaking to you. You can also attend our Thursday evening Gospel Reflection Group. Second, do your best to be on time for Mass, this helps you to pray before Mass begins. Third, try to maintain a respectful silence while others pray, and when talking and greeting each other in the lobby or entrance way, use your ‘inside voices.’ Also, don’t forget to turn off or silence your cell phones. Fourth, at the risk of sounding old fashion, let’s talk about dress. Please remember that you are in God’s house, and not a nightclub or Citizens Bank Park. So, your clothes for Mass should reflect the sacredness of the moment. Be modest in your dress. Fifth, you should not bring food, drink, or gum inside the main body of the Church (except of course for toddlers and babies, I have lots of nieces and nephews so I understand that). Sixth, actively participate in the Mass by responding to the prayers and by singing. The choir and cantor are there to lead us in song. Finally, although I know some people need to leave Mass after reception of Holy Communion for health or work reasons, but please try to stay until the final blessing and dismissal. Remember, you just received the Sacred Body of Jesus, remain for a few minutes and give thanks to the Lord.

God Bless you and your family, Father Vince

¿Cómo puedo prepararme correctamente para la misa?

En esta semana continúo mi catequesis sobre la Eucaristía y la Misa. Las 3 semanas anteriores les he recordado a los feligreses que la Eucaristía ES el verdadero cuerpo y la sangre de Jesús, y NO un símbolo de Jesús. Les recordé que el ayuno de 1 hora en comida y agua todavía está vigente, excepto para aquellos que toman medicamentos o por otras razones relacionadas con la salud. En la semana pasada escribí sobre la adecuada recepción de la Sagrada Comunión. Esta semana escribo sobre cómo prepararse para la Santa Misa. Primero, les animo a leer las lecturas antes de la misa. Están disponibles en línea (USCCB.org) o puede comprar una Missalette de domingo o de lunes a viernes. Estar familiarizado con las lecturas les ayudara a escuchar mejor a Dios que les habla. También puede asistir a nuestro Grupo de Reflexión del Evangelio el jueves por la noche. El Segundo, hagan su mejor esfuerzo para llegar a tiempo a la misa, esto les ayudara a orar antes de que comience

la misa. El Tercero, trate de permanecer en un silencio respetuoso mientras otros oran, y cuando hablen y se saluden en el vestíbulo o en la entrada, usen sus "voces silenciosas ". Además, no olvide apagar o poner en silencio sus teléfonos celulares. El Cuarto, me a riesgo de sonar un poco anticuado, hablemos del vestido. Recuerde que está en la casa de Dios y no en un club nocturno o en Citizens Bank Park. Entonces, tu ropa para la misa debe reflejar lo sagrado del momento. Sean modestos en sus vestuarios. El Quinto, no debe traer comida, bebida o chicle dentro del cuerpo principal de la Iglesia (excepto, por supuesto, para los niños pequeños y los bebés, tengo muchas sobrinas y sobrinos, así que entiendo eso).

El Sexto, participa activamente en la misa respondiendo a las oraciones y cantando. El coro y el cantor están allí para guiarnos en las canciones. Finalmente, aunque sé que algunas personas necesitan irse de la Misa después de la recepción de la Sagrada Comunión por razones de salud o de trabajo, pero por

favor trate de quedarse hasta la bendición final y el envió. Recuerda, acaban de recibir el Sagrado Cuerpo de Jesús, quédense unos minutos y den gracias al Señor.

Dios les Bendiga a usted y su familia, Padre Vicente

San Felipe de Jesús (1572-1597); 5 de febrero

Felipillo, como era conocido, nació en la Ciudad de México en una familia de comerciantes. Dado que su vida era un desastre, una de las africanas que cuidaba dijo que la higuera seca del patio “florecería cuando Felipillo fuera santo”. Luego de explorar la vida franciscana y huir de ella, su padre lo envió a Filipinas para que probara suerte en los negocios, pero esta vida tampoco le llenó. Ingresó nuevamente a la Orden Franciscana en Filipinas y, con el paso de los años fue enviado a México para ser ordenado sacerdote. Su barco naufragó en Japón durante un período de persecución contra los cristianos liderado por el emperador Taicosama. En su calidad de extranjero, Felipillo podía evitar el martirio, pero decidió unirse a sus compañeros franciscanos y jesuitas y sufrir con ellos la muerte por Cristo. Lo colgaron de una cruz, lo sujetaron con argollas y dos lanzas lo traspasaron. En su agonía repetía una y otra vez: “Jesús, Jesús, Jesús”, de ahí que se le venere como Felipe de Jesús. El día de su muerte, la higuera floreció. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
