Reconciliation & Eucharist
Parents of students in 2nd grade and older who have not yet received the Sacraments

High school juniors (11th grade) wishing to receive the Sacrament of
Confirmation at St. Clement during the Spring of 2016 are invited to register now

ST. CLEMENT OF ROME
2015 OYSTER FESTIVAL
NOVEMBER 13, 14 AND 15, 2015
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
If the alb is the premier baptismal garment, then why
are there so many other styles of vesture in evidence in
our parishes? In some places, altar servers and other
ministers might wear a garment, usually black, called a
cassock. Over that is normally worn a white garment (a
“surplice”), reminiscent of the alb but much shorter,
often of starched linen and trimmed with lace. The
cassock is not a liturgical garment, but a clerical robe.
Its origins lie in the religious habit of monks. By the late
Middle Ages, diocesan priests and clerics increasingly
were encouraged to emulate religious priests. Very
small boys were often apprenticed to monasteries,
especially for music education, and would be invested
with a cassock and sometimes even inducted into the
ranks of clerics.
For centuries before the Reformation, it was required
that all men entering higher education be clerics, and so
the cassock and its variations became familiar academic
garb. At the Reformation, many ministers retained a
form of the cassock as ordinary dress, rejecting
liturgical garments. In the seventeenth century, the
English Civil War was in part provoked by the
Archbishop of Canterbury’s insistence that ministers
wear surplices. Although the Episcopal Church now
retains “cassock and surplice” as the normal dress for
lay men and women assisting at liturgy, Catholics are
increasingly attentive to the deeply traditional treasure
of the alb, our baptismal robe, when special liturgical
vesture is needed.

PRAY FOR VOCATIONS
The best way of supporting our
New Orleans Seminarians is by
praying for them. Please pray this
week for John Yike.
With humor, story, and lecture, this marriage retreat engages couples to see the great gift God has
given them in their marriage and practical ways to
love their spouse in their day-to-day encounters.
Whether you are looking for something to bolster your marriage or
need tangible skills to help through
some troubled times, this is the
event for you. Come and
discover the mysteries of Marriage
and the grace that flows from this
great Sacrament! Led by Mario
Sacasa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
and director of counseling services at Notre Dame
Seminary in New Orleans, LA, Mr. Sacasa has
made a career of integrating Catholic faith into
sound clinical practice and delivered numerous
lectures applying the Theology of the Body to
present day marital issues. Mr. Sacasa is married to
his beautiful wife of 12 years, Kristin, and together
they share the joy of parenting their four sons. They
are parishioners of St. Clement of Rome.

Vigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Si no coméis la carne del Hijo del Hombre
y bebéis de su sangre,
no tendréis vida en vosotros.
Juan 6:53
AMAR A AMBOS
Debemos amar a ambos –aquellos cuyas
opiniones compartimos y aquellos cuyas opiniones
rechazamos. Ambos han procurado buscar la
verdad, y ambos nos han ayudado a encontrarla.
Santo Tomás de Aquino
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Según la creencia de los aztecas, toltecas y otros indígenas, los niños y las niñas nacen sin rostro y corazón.
Corresponde a la familia formar en ellos y ellas el rostro
(la personalidad), y el corazón (ánimo/ motivación) durante los primeros siete años de su vida.
Rostro y corazón son una combinación para hablar de
un tercer aspecto. En este caso rostro y corazón indican la
persona bien formada. Los judíos de la época de Jesús
también usaban ciertas palabras para indicar otras realidades. Cuerpo y sangre, por ejemplo, indican a la persona en
su totalidad. El cuerpo muestra el carácter de la persona,
mientras que la sangre indica su ánimo o motivación.
Cuando Jesús nos invita a comer su Cuerpo y beber
su Sangre nos está invitando a tomar su rostro y corazón.
Nuestra personalidad debe ser como la suya y nuestra motivación también. De esta manera entramos en íntima comunión con él, a quien comulgamos. En nuestro interior
vamos aprendiendo a pensar y amar como él, mientras
que exteriormente vamos aprendiendo a comportarnos
como él.

.A LA MESA
En la primera lectura de hoy, la sabiduría se presenta
como una mujer rica en aplomo y gracia. Se mueve
fácilmente y con confianza en torno a su templo-hogar.
No anda mariposeando, nerviosa y preocupada. La
sabiduría envía a sus doncellas a invitar a todos a su casa.
Los invitados no tienen que tener ningún talento o
conocimiento en particular. Tan sólo necesitan ser
personas de buena voluntad y sentido común. Se les llama
a dejar atrás las tonterías y buscar para sí mismos un lugar
a la mesa de la sabiduría. Ahí pueden comer y beber a
fondo.
El Evangelio de hoy nos lleva de nuevo a la mesa de
la Eucaristía. Jesús les habla a aquellos que buscan
entender sus palabras, y, tristemente, a aquellos que tratan
de evadirlas. Como pueblo nacido de Dios, estamos
llamados y preparados para buscar la voluntad de Dios y
ponerla en práctica. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
En una calle de mucho tráfico un carro seguía muy
de cerca al otro. Súbitamente la luz del semáforo se puso
amarilla y el chofer del carro delante paró. Quién sabe en
qué estaba pensando la mujer que conducía el carro de atrás,
pero se puso muy enfadada y tocó la bocina mientras gritaba
y hacía gestos de frustración. De repente ella vio un oficial
de policía que tocaba en su ventanilla ordenándola a entrar
en el carro patrulla. Se la llevó a la estación y allí fue procesada y puesta en una celda. Después de un par de horas la
escoltaron hacia el buró de arrestos donde estaba el policía
que la había detenido, quien le dijo: “Por favor, acepte nuestras disculpas, señora. Todo esto ha sido una gran equivocación. Es que cuando la vi tocando desaforadamente su bocina, poniendo el grito en el cielo, maldiciendo e insultando al
hombre del carro delante, me fijé que usted tenía en la matrícula de su carro un letrero de ‘Opte por la vida’, tenía también una calcomanía en la defensa que dice ‘¿Qué haría
Jesús?’ y otra que dice, ‘Sígueme hasta la parroquia de santo
Domingo’, y además tenía un rosario colgando del espejo
retrovisor. Naturalmente pensé que usted se había robado el
carro”.
