SPIRITUAL ADOPTION
Greetings to all,
WEEK 34: Baby now weighs over 5.5 pounds and her total length is 20.25 inches approx.
Because she is so snug in her mother's womb, she is not likely to be doing somersaults anymore,
but the number of times she kicks should remain about the same. Her kidneys are fully developed
and her liver can process some waste products.
To view a very moving video about an unborn child about to undergo abortion please go to www.interviewwithunborn.com
and watch "Interview With an Unborn Child." The narrator is the unborn child. This is really worth watching and sharing with
everyone you know.
God bless,
Eileen
ICF 45th ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY
RAVIOLI DINNER!
Dear Friends in Christ,
After a lot of prayer and reflection I recently came to
the very difficult conclusion that I needed to find another home for my dog, Homer. This was a very difficult decision to make and I know that many of you
will also miss him. However, I found a great place for
him in Crescent City. He now lives with a woman who
happens to be retired and has had dogs all her life.
She has 4 acres of land for Homer to run around in.
She also has an 11-year-old Boston terrier, who is
blind, and Homer gets along great with him. She has
sent me pictures of Homer and all I can say is that she
is spoiling him more than he was here. One of the pictures she sent me was of Homer sleeping on the
couch with a pillow under his head.
On a maintenance note, there are 2 things that we
need volunteer help with. The first is that some of the
pews in the Church are cracked and the need to be
repaired because the cracks are pinching people
while they are sitting.
The second is that the large tree near the Our Lady of
Guadalupe grotto needs to be trimmed because the
branches have gotten a little too long. If you can help
with either of these projects please let me know.
In Christ,
Fr. Raúl

Trigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
13 de noviembre de 2011
CAMBIA NUESTRAS VIDAS
La Eucaristía es nuestro sacrificio
Las cartas de Pablo a los tesalonicenses están entre sus primeros escritos movidos por su creencia, y la
creencia de la comunidad de la Iglesia joven, de que el retorno de Cristo era inminente, y que dedicar tiempo y atención a otras cosas era tontería.
La imagen del sacrificio en relación a la Eucaristía
nos es muy familiar, no sólo por la experiencia de vida, que
a menudo es muy sacrificada, sino porque fue la manera en
que el pueblo hispano, históricamente hablando, aprendió
a ver la Eucaristía y a celebrarla como tal: sacrificio. No hay
nada de malo en que la Eucaristía sea sacrificio, porque lo
es, es el sacrificio de Cristo por nosotros; al celebrar la Eucaristía como el sacrificio de Cristo, la Iglesia se hace consciente de que Cristo ha muerto una sola vez en la cruz y
que el sacrificio que celebramos es en memorial de su
pasión dolorosa, de su gloriosa resurrección y de su admirable ascensión al cielo. La imagen del sacrificio nos sigue
llamando aún más porque en esa palabra reflejamos nuestra vida y lo que traemos a la celebración. Refleja la historia
de nuestros pueblos, no sólo de sufrimiento, sino de la solidaridad que Dios ha tenido con nuestro propio sufrimiento.
La celebramos como un acompañamiento mutuo, de nosotros a Dios y de Dios a nosotros en la persona de Cristo,
que también es Dios y que por nosotros murió.
Con el paso del tiempo este fervor disminuyó un
poco. Hoy, cuando escuchamos sobre la llegada del fin de
los tiempos, podemos preguntarnos si la tenemos que tomar en serio, si es que realmente creemos que Cristo todavía puede venir por nosotros como “un ladrón en la noche” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:2). ¿Significa esto que debemos
ponerle un paro a establecer metas a largo plazo, despojarnos de nuestros calendarios y agendas anuales, dejar de
ahorrar para una educación universitaria? Por supuesto
que no. Lo que significa es que necesitamos cambiar nuestra vida, vivir como hijos de las luz e ir iluminando el mundo que nos rodea con la luz del Evangelio. Entonces, en
aquél día, cuando los detalles de nuestra vida diaria se tornen poco importantes, estaremos listos para encontrar
nuestra paz y seguridad en Cristo Jesús.
