INVITATION–
on Monday, September 26, at7:00pm, the Catholic Cemeteries Ministry of our Arch- diocese will be hosting an informational seminar in the Banquet Room on the lower level of the Activity Cen- ter to acquaint all parishioners with many services available through their ministry. They are a wonderful
“one stop shop” for comprehensive Catholic burial and funeral planning. It is never too early to learn and/or plan for this eventuality….. And their information and assistance is delivered in a faith-filled, educational and Cost-free manner.
Everyone will be contacted by a counselor and be giv- en the opportunity to receive important planning mate- rials and information. They will also be available after each Mass the weekend of September 24th and 25th to invite everyone to the seminar and help anyone with an interest or need.
The seminar is of course, cost-free and refreshments will be served. There will be a short presentation and valuable Q & A time!
Speaking Words of Love
Often we remain silent when we need to speak. With- out words, it is hard to love well. When we say to our parents, children, lovers, or friends: "I love you very much" or "I care for you" or "I think of you often" or
"You are my greatest gift," we choose to give life.
It is not always easy to express our love directly in words. But whenever we do, we discover we have of- fered a blessing that will be long remembered. When a son can say to his father, "Dad, I love you," and when a mother can say to her daughter, "Child, I love you," a whole new blessed place can be opened up, a space where it is good to dwell. Indeed, words have the pow- er to create life.

¿ SABÍAS CÓMO CATOLICO QUE ?
Gestos y Símbolos de la Celebración Eucarística EL FUEGO
En nuestras celebraciones:
- Aparece en forma de lámparas y cirios encendidos durante la celebración o delante del sagrario.
Aparte del simbolismo de la luz entra aquí también esa misteriosa realidad que se llama fuego: la llama que se va consumiendo lentamente mientras alum- bra, embellece, calienta, dando sentido familiar a la celebración.
- Vigilia de Pascua: Es la celebración que queda en- riquecida de modo más explícito con el simbolismo del fuego. La hoguera que arde fuera de la Iglesia y de la que se va a encender el Cirio Pascual remite intensamente al triunfo de la luz sobre la tiniebla, del calor sobre el frío, de la vida sobre la muerte. De allí partirá la procesión con su festivo grito: "Luz de Cristo", y la luz se irá comunicando progresivamente a cada uno de los participantes.
El simbolismo de la luz está realmente muy aprove- chado en el lenguaje festivo de la Noche Pascual.
Pero en su raíz está el fuego que tiene sus direccio- nes propias y riquísimas.
Su simbolismo natural
El lenguaje del fuego tiene en nuestra sensibilidad humana y social, una interesante serie de sentidos.
El fuego calienta, consume, quema, ilumina, purifi- ca, es fuente de energía. Es origen de innumerables beneficios para la humanidad, pero también destru- ye, castiga, asusta y mata. Es un elemento bienhe- chor pero a la vez peligroso. Un rayo o un incendio pueden generar calamidades enormes. Sin el fuego no podemos vivir, pero puede causarnos también la muerte. No es nada extraño que en torno a este mis- terioso elemento natural se haya creado todo un sim- bolismo:
-Para expresar la presencia misma de la divinidad, invisible pero fuerte, incontrolable, purificadora, cas- tigadora,
-o para designar los sentimientos humanos, como la pasión, que está escondida pero que puede alcanzar una fuerza inaudita, para bien o para mal: el amor , el odio, el entusiasmo...etc.

Próximo retiro de 15era:

En la Revelación:
Para saber toda la densidad de significado que el fuego puede llegar a tener y lo que puede expresar también en nuestras celebraciones, no hay mejor medio que re- pasar, que de lo que él dicen el Antiguo y Nuevo Tes- tamento.
Ante todo, el fuego sirve para expresar de algún modo lo que es imposible de expresar: la presencia misterio- sa de Dios mismo en la historia humana. Recordemos el misterioso episodio de la zarza que arde sin consu- mirse (Ex 3). Moisés se acerca a un lugar que en segui-

“ My Lord God. I have no Idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for cer- tain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it . Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.”
