ETIQUETA DE MISAS Piense en la iglesia, siempre y en todo momento, ya que el espacio sagrado y un lugar sagrado. La Iglesia es, ante todo, un lugar de culto. No se trata de un salón de actos, centro de convenciones, o sala de reuniones. No estamos llenando en el tiempo antes de que comience el espectáculo. La iglesia es el lugar principal llegamos a pasar el tiempo con y tener intimidad con Dios. Escucha el coro y deja que te mueve a la oración. We are Christian communities in the Roman Catholic Tradition, and we commit ourselves to become more Christ-like through the service to God and neighbor. Our Mission Statement Declaración de Misión Nosotros somos las comunidades Cristianas en la Tradición Católica Romana, y nos comprometemos a hacer modelos de Cristo al servicio de Dios y de projimo. We share in the joy of the children, their families, and catechists as they receive their First Holy Communion today at St. Paul. May our Lord bless them as they grow in faith. 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 BISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL 2014 Thank you to those who have given to the Bishop’s Annual Appeal, 2014.

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). COMING UP AT HOLY FAMILY Graduation Recognition—May 18 We will honor our graduating seniors at Mass; also, there will be a reception after Mass. Baccalaureate—May 21 Wednesday, May 21, 7:00pm, Holy Family will host the Atkinson County Baccalaureate, followed by a reception in the social hall. First Holy Communion—May 25 We will celebrate the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, with a reception after. COFFEE & ATKINSON STUDENTS 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.
