CATEDRAL DE ST. EUGENE’S – 14 de Junio del 2015
Undécimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
PARA LA PARTICIPACION EN LA MISA
Desde el Escritorio del P. Roa:
CREDO
Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador
del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible.
Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de
Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos:
Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios
verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; Que
por nosotros lo hombres, y por nuestra salvación
bajó del cielo, Y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; Y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato; padeció y fue sepultado, Y resucitó al tercer día,
según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a
la derecha del Padre; Y de nuevo vendrá con gloria
para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá
fin.
Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida,
que procede del Padre y del Hijo, Que con el Padre y
el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que
habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una,
santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo
Bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la
resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.
Solemnidad del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús

MATRIMONIOS COMUNITARIOS
La Parroquia de San Eugenio invita a todas las parejas que no están casadas por la Iglesia Católica,
que viven juntos a un periodo de preparación que
comenzara prontamente. Por favor comuníquese a la
oficina, para anotarse en la lista.
La tradición de la Iglesia Católica dedica cada mes del
año a ciertas devociones. En junio, es el Sagrado Corazón de
Jesús, la Fiesta del Sagrado Corazón normalmente se celebra en
este mes. Esta devoción practicada por muchos años privadamente, fue oficialmente aprobada durante los años 1800s, siendo esta fiesta incorporada en la liturgia de la Iglesia. La devoción al Sagrado Corazón nos invita a la adoración de la Eucaristía durante la Hora Santa y a la recepción de la Santa Eucaristía
los primeros viernes de cada mes. El Sagrado Corazón representa el amor de Cristo por toda la humanidad, y nuestra devoción es una expresión de nuestra fe en Su misericordia.
El 01 de junio del 2008, el Papa Emérito Benedicto
XVI instó a los católicos de todo el mundo a renovar su devoción al Sagrado Corazón durante el mes de junio. Esta devoción
y la devoción de la Divina Misericordia nos invitan y mueven a
una mayor devoción de adoración a nuestro Señor Jesucristo
verdaderamente y sacramentalmente presente en la Sagrada
Eucaristía.
El viernes pasado celebramos la Solemnidad del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Este es un buen momento para recordar que la Eucaristía es el corazón de la Iglesia. La Eucaristía es
“fuente y cumbre de la vida cristiana”. “Los demás sacramentos, como también todos los ministerios eclesiales y las obras de
apostolado, están unidos a la Eucaristía y a ella se ordenan.
Pues en la Sagrada Eucaristía se contiene todo el bien espiritual
de la Iglesia, es decir, Cristo mismo, nuestra Pascua”. (Pope
Emérito Benedicto XVI). ¡Gocémonos y alegrémonos por el
más grande regalo que Dios Padre nos ha dado, Su Hijo Eucaristía!
Consagración al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús
Yo, __________, me doy y consagro al Sagrado Corazón de
Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, mi persona y mi vida, mis oraciones,
penas y sufrimientos, para no querer servirme de ninguna parte
de mi ser sino para honrarlo, amarlo y glorificarlo. Es mi voluntad irrevocable ser todo de Él y hacer todo por su amor, renunciando de todo corazón a todo lo que pueda disgustarle.
Yo os tomo, pues, Oh Sagrado Corazón, por el único objeto de
mi amor, el protector de mi vida, la seguridad de mi salvación,
el remedio de mi fragilidad y de mi inconstancia, el reparador
de todos los defectos de mi vida, y mi asilo en la hora de mi
muerte.
Sed, por tanto, ¡Oh Corazón de bondad! mi justificación para
con Dios vuestro Padre, y alejad de mi los rayos de su justa
cólera. ¡Oh Corazón de amor! yo pongo toda mi confianza en
vos, pues todo lo temo de mi malicia y de mi debilidad, pero
todo espero de vuestra bondad. ¡Extinguid pues en mí todo lo
que os pueda desagradar o resistir! Que vuestro puro amor os
imprima con tanta presteza en mi corazón que no pueda jamás
olvidaros, ni estar separado de vos, a quien conjuro, por todas
vuestras bondades, que mi nombre sea escrito en vos, pues yo
quiero hacer construir mi gloria en vivir y morir en calidad de
esclavo vuestro. Amen.

MY CATHOLIC FAITH
~A SOBERING THOUGHT~
~OUR FINAL DESTINY~
In today’s 2nd reading we read, “For we must all
appear before the judgment seat of Christ,
so that each may receive recompense,
according to what he did in the body, whether good
or evil.” This is a sobering thought. It also puts to
rest the argument often made that we are saved by
faith alone and that works are unimportant. We see
here that works are important and that our eternal
destination depends on faith plus works. Let’s take
a look at what Fr. John Hardon, SJ, wrote about this.
Our final destiny, therefore, is decided before the
general judgment of the last day. In fact, we may say
that our destiny is decided even before we actually
die. Why? Because our moral conduct during life on
earth is already the decisive factor which determines
our destiny. It cannot be over-stressed how important is our faith in the particular judgment. It
provides the foundation not only for the veneration
of saints, but for our prayers and sacrifices for the
souls in purgatory.
~THE PARTICULAR JUDGEMENT~
The general judgment means that all human beings
from the dawn of history until the end of time will
be judged by Christ when He comes on the last day
of the world. This does not mean only passing negative judgment on sinners. It also, and emphatically,
means the universal manifestation of God’s mercy
and of man’s cooperation with divine grace. Thus
Christ will glorify the virtues of the saints no less
than testify to the sinful conduct of the wicked. In
both cases, however, the last judgement will glorify
God; His infinite justice no less than His infinite
mercy.
~THE GENERAL JUDGEMENT~
“Although never formally defined, it is commonly
taught by the Church that each person is judged by
God on entering eternity. This is a logical conclusion from the teaching of Sacred Scripture. Lazarus
is immediately taken into the bosom of Abraham,
and the rich man is immediately sent to hell. Jesus
on the cross says to the penitent thief, “This day you
shall be with me in paradise.” For St. Paul, death is
the gate to happiness and to be with Christ.
~FREE WILL~
We shall be judged on our good and bad actions.
The critical term in distinguishing good and bad
actions is “freedom.” We shall be judged on how we
have used our free will, whether in cooperating
with God’s grace, or resisting His grace. There is
nothing more fundamental in our understanding of
God’s judgement than the fact that we have a truly
free will. It is so free that we can actually say, “No,”
to the will of the Almighty. However, we are free
not only to choose the will of God, we are also free,
that is, we have the power to say, “Yes,” to God’s
grace, with no less generosity. On all these counts,
we shall be judged when we are called by God into
eternity.
~CONSEQUENCES~
The consequences of our human actions will also be
a part of the general judgment. One of the reasons
for this final judgment is that the consequence of our
human actions will be revealed to the whole world.
Every moral action we perform, which means everything we do with our free will, will be manifest on
the last day. However, what we have done is not
only the actual choice we make when we perform an
action. It is also the humanly unpredictable consequences of our free choices. Every virtuous action
we perform, no matter how trivial, has a ripple of
consequences that go on and on until the end of
time. So too, every single action we perform has
results that will literally never end. On both levels,
therefore, the general judgment is meant to reveal
to the whole world, both the human actions that
people have voluntarily done, and the effects of
these actions, whether anticipated or never foreseen.
~DRAWING GOOD FROM EVIL~
One more observation should be made. The evil
that we have done will not be revealed to our humiliation, provided we have repented. Indeed, one
of the marvels of the general judgment will be the
revelation of God’s providence. We will then see
how mysteriously God has drawn good from the
evil that people have done.
~CONSEQUENCES~
This raises a serious question. Are we responsible
for what we immediately do and not for the consequences for our actions? No, there are two kinds of
responsibility we have for the actions we perform.
Both need to be clearly understood if we are to appreciate the purpose of the general judgment. We
are obviously responsible for the real choices that
we make. This is the first meaning of the word
“responsible.” We have true internal freedom to
choose whether to cooperate with the will of God or
resist the divine will. We are free human beings.
But we are also responsible for the consequences of
our actions. The choices we make during life include not only the immediate actions that we
choose to make. We are also accountable for what
will follow as a result of our choice. Actions have
consequences. There is no such thing as a sterile human act. The mystery lies in the unspeakable power
of our free will to determine the future, our own
future and that of others. Under God, we shape the
history of the human race. “ By: Fr. John Hardon,
SJ To read more, go to:www.therealpresence.org/archives/
Q&A
~ON THE USE OF PARABLES~
Q: What exactly is a parable?
A: It has been said that a parable is an earthly story
with a heavenly meaning. The Lord Jesus frequently
used parables as a means of illustrating profound,
divine truths. Stories such as these are easily remembered, the characters bold, and the symbolism
rich in meaning. Parables were a common form of
teaching in Judaism. Before a certain point in His
ministry, Jesus had employed many graphic
analogies using common things that would be familiar to everyone (salt, bread, sheep, etc.) and their
meaning was fairly clear in the context of His teaching. www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-parables.
Q: But why did Jesus not explain the meaning to
those people who didn’t understand them?
A: Jesus told his disciples that not everyone would
understand his parables. “To you it has been given
to know the secrets of the kingdom of God; but for
others they are in parables, so that seeing they may
not see, and hearing they may not hear” (Luke 8:10).
Did Jesus mean to say that he was deliberately confusing his listeners? Very likely not. Jesus was
speaking from experience. He was aware that some
who heard his parables refused to understand them.
It was not that they could not intellectually understand them, but rather, their hearts were closed to
what Jesus was saying. They had already made up
their minds to not believe. God can only reveal the
secrets of his kingdom to the humble and trusting
person who acknowledges the need for God and for
his truth. The parables of Jesus will enlighten us if
we approach them with an open mind and heart,
ready to let them challenge us. If we approach them
with the conviction that we already know the answer, then we, too, may look but not see, listen but
not hear or understand. by Don Schwager http://
www.rc.net/wcc/parable1.htm
~THE REAL PRESENCE~
If we really believe what we profess—that Jesus is
fully and truly present in the Tabernacle—our actions, dress and demeanor will reflect this. How?
”Genuflect when entering and leaving the Church and
whenever passing before the Tabernacle or the Altar on
which the Body and Blood of Christ rest. Dress modestly—avoiding revealing and sloppy clothes—and do not
chew gum. Speak accurately about the Most Holy Eucharist, never referring to It as “bread and wine.” These
four points: genuflection, mode of dress, demeanor
and our choice of wording are so very important.
Looking, for a moment, at mode of dress, imagine
how we would dress if we had an audience with a
head of state or royalty. We would put on the very
best clothing that we had. So, when we approach
the home of our King, let us once again consider
putting on our “Sunday Best”! Italicized portion Taken
