Yet, in a certain sense, the Bible from beginning to end is a story about Marriage. “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” (John 15:12). “Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). “Throughout the Old Testament, God’s love for his people is described as the love of a husband for his bride. In the New Testament, Christ embodies this love.” There are numerous ways to describe God’s love, but four qualities in particular stand out. God’s love is: The Bible begins and ends with marriages — Adam and Eve and Christ and the Church. We can look to these marital “bookends” of Genesis and Revelation as a key for interpreting what lies between. Applying this analogy, we learn that God’s eternal plan is to “marry” us. “I will make you my wife forever — I will make you my wife in a way that is righteous, in a manner that is just, by a love that is gracious, and by a motive that is mercy.” God wanted this eternal “marital plan” to be so obvious to us that he stamped an image of it in our very being by creating us as male and female and calling us to marriage. “The Church cannot therefore be understood … unless we keep in mind the “great mystery” involved in the creation of man as male and female and the vocation of both to conjugal love, to fatherhood and to motherhood.” Love is Our Mission because God created us for a reason: to love us, and for us to love one another. God’s covenant with Israel and the Church reveals what God’s love is like: tender and passionate, but also steadfast and sacrificial. The bodily, earthly world has spiritual significance. Tangible things - sacramentals, acts of charity, sacred art and culture, our liturgical feasts and fasts - have the capacity to reveal the glory of God. Marriage, as one of the sacraments, reveals this to us in a special way. The bodies of the spouses, in the complementarity of their masculinity and femininity, have the unique role of revealing God’s nature as a communion of life-giving love. How can a man and a woman imitate God’s love together? How can they live in a way that is intimate and committed, joyful and merciful, forgiving and fertile? Through their participation in the life of the Church, this kind of love becomes possible. God’s love is not an audition, or a temporary experiment, or a self-seeking negotiation. In the same way, marriage is never a private, inward romance, but always discovers its true nature in relation to God and his wider purposes. A sacramental marriage is called to be a little parable of God’s love, always ordered to joy and service. 4 Free Total Faithful Fruitful Another name for this kind of love is Marriage. This is precisely what bride and groom commit to at the altar and express with their whole selves (body and soul) by becoming “one flesh.” Marriage is a commitment to learning to care for one another in mutually fulfilling ways. It is not an act but a life-long relationship always in the making. Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life. Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher, commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly. Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, new ways of expressing a love that is deeper than life. When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage, they create a spirit unique unto themselves which binds them closer than any spoken or written words. Marriage is a promise made in the hearts of two people who love each other and the potential of marriage requires a lifetime to fulfill. You and I have so much love That it burns like a fire In which we bake a lump of clay Molded into a figure of you And a figure of me. Then we take both of them And break them into pieces And mix the pieces with water And mold again a figure of you, And a figure of me. I am in your clay. You are in my clay… Kaun Tao-Sheng, 13th Century A.D.

Marriage is only marriage to the extent that it conforms to God’s design for it. OFFERING Feb. 1, 2015 Collection Marriage is the intimate, exclusive, indissoluble communion of life and love entered by man and woman at the design of the Creator for the purpose of their own good and the procreation and education of children; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament (CCC 1601). Online Contributions Other Income Catholic Schools Facilities Improvement TOTAL INCOME BUDGET SURPLUS/(SHORTFALL) Sacraments are visible signs in the world that communicate God’s invisible mystery of life and love to us. Sacraments, you might say, are where heaven and earth “kiss,” where Christ becomes one with his Bride in and through our flesh. When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you’re sacrificing not to each other but joining as a trinity of the sacramental marriage with Our Lord, Jesus Christ.

That matrimony plays an essential and providential role in God’s plan for order and for sanctity in the world is obvious by the fact that it is a sacrament, which makes it one of only seven external signs instituted by Christ to give grace. While matrimony is not what is called a “state of perfection” (as religious life is), this does not mean that married people should not strive for perfection. St. Paul tells us that all the baptized are called to perfection: “This is the will of God, your sanctification” (1 Thess. 4:3), says St. Paul. And elsewhere, that same Apostle gives directives on how married people can achieve sanctity (Col. 3, Eph. 5, Titus 2).

We invite you to participate in this ministry by supporting this collection which helps schools to remain a place where our faith is taught and lived. On December 4, 2014 at St. Martha’s House, Pope Francis spoke of the hidden holiness of the saints of daily life. In words that could have been written about Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of Saint Therese of Lisieux, he said: “Let us consider so many mothers and fathers of families, who, with so much effort, raise their families, educate their children, carry on their daily work, bear their problems, but always with hope in Jesus, who do not strut about, but do what they can. They are the saints of daily life.” www.worldmeeting2015.org 5 February 8, 2015 ~ World Marriage Day www.saintanne.com TILL DEATH DO US PART Adelina Rivera and Antonio Sanchez 32 years Adriana and Alexander Cardona 13 years Alma Delia Perez Mata and Tomas Sanchez-Garcia 8 years Anamaria and Arturo Garcia-Linares 16 years Angelica and Luis Lozano 24 years Ann and Mark Eddie 31 years Araceli Camacho and Pedro Gonzalez 10 years Barbara and George Steinfeld 50 years Barbara and Robert Sambuco 45 years Bernabelli Aguilar-Reyes and Jorge Luis Paniagua 1 year Brenda and Jose Pedro Gonzalez 16 years Carol and Bud Marlow 55 years Carol and Dennis Peasenell 48 years Catalina and Andres Rogelio-Reyes 12 years Catherine and Richard Fricke 48 years Charlotte and Eli Furo 49 years Chela and Luis Arzaluz 27 years Christine and Thomas McKeon 42 years Coi and Angel Juarez 10 years Connie and Brad McKeown 45 years Connie and Geary Bradley 33 years Debbie and Michael Teachout 20 years Deborah Ann and Paul James Teachout 30 years Delia and Jesus Govea-Victoriano 12 years Denise and Frank Kania 42 years Diane and Larry Hinton 45 years Diane and Lynn Henry 51 years Dianne and John Liebe 50 years Dottie and Ron Cunningham 45 years Elizabeth and David Morton 55 years Elizabeth and Joseph Bangert 38 years Elizabeth and Rigoberto Felix 25 years Faviola De La Torre and Marcelo Ruedas 17 years Flora Martinez and Bartolo Camacho 40 years Frances and Carl Hendel 55 years Germaine and Norman Robbins 59 years Gladys and Gerardo Arroyo-Mancera 10 years Guadalupe and Jose Linares 12 years Irene and George Lourigan 60 years Isabel and Jose Castro-Ramirez 7 years Jackie and Andrew DaSilva 10 years Jamie and Tom Raad 27 years Jan and Ray Howard 52 years Jane and Robert Worley 42 years Janice and Ronald Richards 46 years Jacqueline and Rodrigo Barranco-Reyes 22 years Joan and Donald Morgan 60 years Julie and Dan Trick 27 years Justine and Albert Ang 17 years Karen and Dennis Flowers 43 years Kathleen and Richard Schlauch 50 years Kathleen and William Masterton 22 years Kendra and Andy Foos 20 years Kristine and Darrin Patterson 12 years 6 February 8, 2015 ~ World Marriage Day www.saintanne.com TILL DEATH DO US PART Lisa and Andrew Pecarina 3 years Lisa and Christopher Schroeder 25 years Lisa and Joe Hetzer 20 years Louise and Jack Clinton 60 years Lucille and William Dowling 30 years Marge and Ed Beamon 55 years Maria and Carl Grein 35 years Maria and Salvador Padilla 56 years Maria and Victor A.

Lecturas y Calendário, página 3 - Finanzas, página 5 - Evangelización, página 6 El Matrimonio Según el Catecismo fecundos y multiplicaos, y llenad la tierra y sometedla"» (Gn 1,28). 1605 La Sagrada escritura afirma que el hombre y la mujer fueron creados el uno para el otro: "No es bueno que el hombre esté solo" (Gn 2, 18). La mujer, "carne de su carne" (cf Gn2, 23), su igual, la criatura más semejante al hombre mismo, le es dada por Dios como una "auxilio" (cf Gn 2, 18), representando así a Dios que es nuestro "auxilio" (cf Sal 121,2). "Por eso deja el hombre a su padre y a su madre y se une a su mujer, y se hacen una sola carne" (cf Gn 2,18-25). Que esto significa una unión indefectible de sus dos vidas, el Señor mismo lo muestra recordando cuál fue "en el principio", el plan del Creador (cf Mt 19, 4): "De manera que ya no son dos sino una sola carne" (Mt 19,6). Para informarse más: http://www.vatican.va/archive/catechism_sp/p2s2c3a7_sp.html 1601 "La alianza matrimonial, por la que el varón y la mujer constituyen entre sí un consorcio de toda la vida, ordenado por su misma índole natural al bien de los cónyuges y a la generación y educación de la prole, fue elevada por Cristo Nuestro Señor a la dignidad de sacramento entre bautizados" (CIC can. 1055, §1) I. El matrimonio en el plan de Dios 1602 La sagrada Escritura se abre con el relato de la creación del hombre y de la mujer a imagen y semejanza de Dios (Gn 1,26- 27) y se cierra con la visión de las "bodas del Cordero" (Ap 19,9; cf. Ap 19, 7). De un extremo a otro la Escritura habla del matrimonio y de su "misterio", de su institución y del sentido que Dios le dio, de su origen y de su fin, de sus realizaciones diversas a lo largo de la historia de la salvación, de sus dificultades nacidas del pecado y de su renovación "en el Señor" (1 Co 7,39) todo ello en la perspectiva de la Nueva Alianza de Cristo y de la Iglesia (cf Ef 5,31-32). La Boda Dura un Dia, pero el Sacramento Dura Toda la Vida… ¿Por qué el matrimonio debe realizarse en una Iglesia? “Para los católicos el matrimonio no es sólo un evento social o familiar, sino, sobre todo, un acontecimiento de la comunidad de creyentes. Por eso se debe preferir el templo parroquial de la comunidad a la cual pertenece la novia. Sólo el obispo puede autorizar la celebración de la boda en otro lugar […] Por ello, cuando preparamos nuestra boda, debemos tener en claro lo que implica esta verdad. De no hacerlo, corremos el peligro de pensar que el matrimonio, el Sacramento, se reduce a la planificación del día de nuestra boda. Hoy en día son muchos los que dedican más tiempo, esfuerzo, atención y aun estrés a buscar la iglesia más bonita, el vestido más bello, el lugar de recepción más elaborado, los arreglos florales más vistosos, la comida más elegante, el fotógrafo mejor y más profesional y un sinfín de cosas y gastos para asegurarse de que nuestra boda ‘sea la major’. Pero son pocas las veces en que las parejas piensan en lo más importante. […] Es impresionante ver cuántas parejas se unen simplemente por pasión, por no sentirse que están sin pareja (como sus amistades), para llenar el vacío de la soledad o para tener quien les sirva, sin tener un concepto claro de lo que verdaderamente es el matrimonio, según el plan de Dios, o de lo que el amor conyugal verdadero y maduro implica: un amor total, libre, fiel y fructífero” (www.portumatrimonio.org). El matrimonio en el orden de la creación 1603 "La íntima comunidad de vida y amor conyugal, está fundada por el Creador y provista de leyes propias. [...] El mismo Dios [...] es el autor del matrimonio" (GS 48,1). La vocación al matrimonio se inscribe en la naturaleza misma del hombre y de la mujer, según salieron de la mano del Creador. El matrimonio no es una institución puramente humana a pesar de las numerosas variaciones que ha podido sufrir a lo largo de los siglos en las diferentes culturas, estructuras sociales y actitudes espirituales. Estas diversidades no deben hacer olvidar sus rasgos comunes y permanente. A pesar de que la dignidad de esta institución no se trasluzca siempre con la misma claridad (cf GS 47,2), existe en todas las culturas un cierto sentido de la grandeza de la unión matrimonial. "La salvación de la persona y de la sociedad humana y cristiana está estrechamente ligada a la prosperidad de la comunidad conyugal y familiar" (GS 47,1). 1604 Dios que ha creado al hombre por amor, lo ha llamado también al amor, vocación fundamental e innata de todo ser humano. Porque el hombre fue creado a imagen y semejanza de Dios (Gn 1,2), que es Amor (cf 1 Jn 4,8.16). Habiéndolos creado Dios hombre y mujer, el amor mutuo entre ellos se convierte en imagen del amor absoluto e indefectible con que Dios ama al hombre. Este amor es bueno, muy bueno, a los ojos del Creador (cf Gn1,31). Y este amor que Dios bendice es destinado a ser fecundo y a realizarse en la obra común del cuidado de la creación. «Y los bendijo Dios y les dijo: "Sed fecundos y ... “No hay que terminar nunca el día sin pedir perdon, sin que la paz vuleva a nuestra familia […] Es habitual discutir entre esposos, quizá voló un plato, pero no hay que terminar el día sin hacer las paces.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of openly professing as I should, with courage and without human respect, the faith that I received as your gift in holy Baptism. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of sharing as I should in the defense and propagation of the Faith when duty calls, whether by word or by the sacrifice of my possessions and my life. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of loving my family and others in mutual charity as I should, and establish us in perfect harmony of thought, will, and action, under the rule and guidance of the shepherds of the Church. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, bless me and grant me the grace of conforming my life fully as I should to the commandments of God’s law and those of His Holy Church, so as to live always in that charity which they set forth. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I ask in particular this special favor: (Mention your favor). Dedication of One’s Family Most loving Jesus, by Your sublime and beautiful virtues of humility, obedience, poverty, modesty, charity, patience, and gentleness, You blessed with peace and happiness the family which You chose on earth. In Your mercy look upon my family. We belong to You, for we have received Your many blessings over many years and we entrust ourselves to Your loving care. Look upon my family in Your loving kindness, preserve us from danger, give us help in time of need, and grant us the grace to persevere to the end in imitation of Your holy Family, so that having revered You and loved You faithfully on earth, we may praise You eternally in heaven. Mary, dearest Mother, to your intercession we have recourse, knowing that your Divine Son will hear your prayers. Glorious patriarch, Saint Joseph, help us by your powerful prayers and offer our prayers to Jesus through Mary’s hands. Amen. Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, being subject to Mary and Joseph, You sanctified family life by Your beautiful virtues. Grant that we, with the help of Mary and Joseph, may be taught by the example of Your holy Family, and may after death enjoy its everlasting companionship. Lord Jesus, help us ever to follow the example of Your holy Family, that in the hour of our death Your glorious Virgin Mother together with Saint Joseph may come to meet us, and we may be worthy to be received by You into the everlasting joys of heaven. You live and reign forever. Amen. “Always pray together, respect each other, give each other encouragement, try to save some time for each other, when mistakes are made, be willing to say you are sorry.” 9
