A PRAYER FOR HOLINESS
Lord, I pray that you may be a light for me in
darkness. Touch my soul and kindle a fire within
it, that it may burn brightly and give light to my
life, that I may truly become your temple.
May the light within me shine on others that it
may drive away the darkness of sin in them, too.
Let us be a light to the world, making visible the
light of the Gospel to all those we meet. Amen.
--from a prayer by St. Columbanus

QUESTIONS CATHOLICS ARE ASKED
Do you pray to statues?
No Catholic who knows anything about the
Catholic faith has ever worshiped a statue (as in
pagan idolatry). If we cherish the memory of
mere political heroes with statues, and that of war
heroes with monuments, then there can be no
objection to honoring saints and righteous men
and women: “Honor all men. Love the
brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor”
(1 Pet 2:17; Rom 12:10; Heb 12:22-23).
Statues are simply a visual reminder of great
saints and heroes of the faith (Heb 11), who are
more alive than we are (2 Cor 3:18), as is evident
by their praying: “O Sovereign Lord…how long
before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on
those who dwell upon the earth?” (Rev 6:10;
Ps 35:17). The saints in heaven were never
intended by God to be cut off from the Body of
Christ on earth. They are involved in
intercession, just as the saints on earth are, and
they are described as “so great a cloud of
witnesses” (Heb 12:1).

Primera Comunión
Domingo, 18 de Mayo, 2014
“Tomen, esto es mi cuerpo…Esto es mi
sangre, la sangre de la Alianza, que sera
derramada por muchos” (Marcos 14, 22)
Oración para Vivir en Santidad
Señor, te pido que seas mi luz en la oscuridad.
Toca mi alma y enciende tu fuego en ella, que
arda y de luz a mi vida, que me convierta
verdaderamente en tu templo.
Que la luz en mi ser brille sobre mis amigos
para que también aleje la oscuridad del pecado
que hay en ellos.
Permítenos ser luz para el mundo y revelar la
luz del Evangelio a todos los que conocemos.
Amen.
--Basado en una oración de San Columbano
