Calling all Pinoys & Pinays!
We need help planning our
annual Simbang Gabi at St. Joan’s.
November 16, 2014
FEAST OF FAITH:
Postures of the Mass
Envelopes
Loose
Total
In the Mass, we pray not only with our
lips, but with our bodies as well. We stand
when the ministers enter. In Western culture, standing is
a sign of attention, a mark of respect: all stand when the
judge enters the courtroom, for example. Standing is also
an ancient posture of prayer, mentioned frequently in the
Old Testament. When the readings begin, we sit down: a
listening posture. Mary sat at Jesus' feet to listen to his
teaching; the crowds sat on the hillside or the seashore to
hear his words. Kneeling is another posture that is full of
meaning. It expresses adoration and worship, but it can
also express humility and contrition. We bow: a sign of
honor and reverence, acknowledging the presence of
God, especially when we receive the Eucharist. And there
are other ritual gestures as well--striking the breast,
genuflecting, and of course making the sign of the cross.
The liturgy invites us to pray with our whole person--with
heart and mind, voice and body.

arrange for a mutually convenient time.

Nuestra Señora Virgen de Guadalupe
Es muy difícil hacer ver la importancia del
silencio en la vida diaria a una sociedad acostumbrada a
los ruidos y a la música en iPods u otros dispositivos
electrónicos. La sola idea del silencio causa cierto
estupor. No obstante, la Instrucción General para el uso
del Misal Romano (45 - 46), enfatiza la clara necesidad
de aprovechar el silencio sagrado, cuya naturaleza
"depende del momento de la misa". Sea para pedir
perdón por no corresponder al amor de Dios, para dejar
que su palabra haga eco en nuestro corazón, o bien, para
interiorizar lo que hemos compartido de la plenitud de
Cristo en la sagrada comunión. El guardar silencio no
sólo implica la ausencia de ruidos exteriores, sino
también una disposición interna total, de alma y cuerpo,
para escuchar a Dios que nos habla de muchas maneras.
Es abrir a Dios el corazón en una franca experiencia de
oración. Tal silencio se recomienda también antes del
inicio de la misa, para que cada persona se disponga a
una participación plena, consciente y activa en los
sagrados misterios.

CCE Reflexión de la Semana
El tema para el evangelio de esta semana es “Vengase
Tu Reino” Las preguntas para el evangelio del próximo
domingo son:
Adultos: ¿Comprendo bien la relación entre la
oración: “Venga a nosotros tu Reino” y la
acción (“hágase tu voluntad”) de manera
que se hagan realidad?
Niños: ¿Pienso con cuidado en lo que digo cada
vez que rezo el Padre Nuestro?
EL PECADO DE OMISIÓN
El pecado de los que dejamos
que las cosas sigan como van
(cuando no van bien) en el hogar,
en el trabajo, en el país.
El pecado de los que “no
podemos arreglar el mundo” y nos desentendemos
de las muchas cosillas que sí podríamos arreglar en
nuestro pequeño mundito de todos los días...
El pecado de los egoístas y de los mezquinos...
El pecado de los que pretendemos que no hemos
pecado cuando hemos dejado de dar de comer al
hambriento, de dar de beber al sediento, de vestir al
desnudo...
Hay que sacar pronto las mil “monedas” –o las
quinientas o las doscientas cincuenta– que hemos
enterrado...
Hay que sacarlas y ponerlas a funcionar antes de que
venga el amo.
El Congreso de
Educación Religiosa será
el 13 a 15 de marzo
El Congreso de Educación Religiosa,
patrocinado por la Oficina de Educación
Religiosa de la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles, es la reunión
anual más grande de católicos romanos en el país, con casi
40,000 católicos en asistencia el año pasado. El Congreso de
Educación Religiosa es una conferencia de 3 días, y está
abierto a todos los que deseen aprender más sobre la fe
católica o buscar el crecimiento personal. Los temas van
desde el crecimiento personal a la música con temas
espirituales - en inglés, español y vietnamita.
El costo del Congreso es $70. Para más información
visite www.recongress.org. Si desea asistir al Congreso, favor
de comunicarse con Letty o Paola en la oficina parroquial.
El pecado nuestro de todos los días es no poner a
trabajar en favor de los demás todo lo que Dios nos
ha dado a guardar: amor, bondad, misericordia,
bienes materiales, compasión...
LA ARQUIDIÓCESIS OFRECE PROGRAMAS
PARA DAR PODER A LOS NIÑOS

Enseñando sobre el contacto físico seguro; Contacto físico:

Scripture Readings for November 23, 2014
Christ the King
First Reading: Ezekiel 34:11-12,15-17
The Lord God proclaims that he himself will look after
and tend his sheep. He will tend them, rescue them
when they are scattered, pasture them, give them rest,
seek out the lost, and heal the sick. But he will judge
between one sheep and another and between rams and
goats.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 15: 20-26, 28
Paul, addressing those Corinthians who denied the
resurrection of the dead, preaches about the relationship
between our resurrection from the dead and Christ’s. He
points out that, just as in Adam all die, so too will all who
belong to Christ be brought to life. Then Christ shall reign
until all his enemies are destroyed and the last enemy to
be destroyed will be death. Then Christ also will be
subjected to the Father.
Gospel: Matthew 25: 31-46
When Christ comes in glory, he will separate the sheep
from the goats. He will welcome the “sheep” to the
kingdom because they tended to him when he was
hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, sick and in prison.
“Whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine,
you did for me.” He will condemn the “goats” to eternal
fire because they did not tend to his brothers when they
were in need.
November 16, 2014
Whole Community
Catechesis
The theme for next Sunday’s Gospel is “Thy Kingdom
Come” The reflection questions for the week are:
Adults: How well do I understand the connecƟon between
praying “Thy kingdom come” and acƟng (“thy will
be done”) in a way that brings it about?
Kids: How carefully do I think about what I am saying
each day when I pray the Lord’s Prayer?
