PASTOR’S CORNER
HOLY MASS – “The Eucharist is the source and summit
of the Christian life” (LG 11, CCC 1324). With this Pastor’s
Corner I will begin a series on the parts of the Mass and the
Mass as a whole. It is important and urgent that we understand
the meaning of our “worship of the Father in spirit and in
truth” (Jn. 4:23). Thus we can participate actively so that we
can receive and share the Holy Communion that God is offering us in each Mass on ever deeper levels. If I must die, my
hope is to reach the threshold of appreciation of God’s SelfGift to the degree that, by God’s grace, I may die of ecstasy
during the celebration of Holy Mass. Blessed Imelda, the patron Saint of First Holy Communion, did die of ecstasy during
the time of silent prayer following her first Holy Communion
at age 11.
We begin Mass with the sign of the cross and “In the Name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” God
is love. God is a communion of life and love. God is a Trinity, three Persons in one Divine Nature. God loves us first and
always. Jesus poured out his blood on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. This is the greatest expression of love
imaginable. There is no greater love. We begin each Mass
with this focus on God who is Love, and on the cross which
reminds us of the depths of God’s Love for poor sinners. God
is ready to love his life and love into us anew whenever we
open our hearts in prayer with the sign of the cross and the
invocation of the Trinity.
Blessings, Fr. John

RINCÓN DEL PÁRROCO
SANTA MISA -”La Eucaristía es la fuente y la cima de la
vida Cristiana”(LG 11, CCC 1324). Con este Rincón del
Párroco voy a empezar una serie de artículos sobre las partes
de la Misa y la Misa en conjunto. Es importante y urgente
que entendamos el significado de nuestra “adoración del
Padre en espíritu y en verdad” (Jn. 4:23). Por lo tanto así
podemos participar activamente para que podamos recibir y
compartir la Santa Comunión que Dios nos ofrece en cada
Misa en niveles cada vez más profundos. Si he de morir, mi
esperanza es alcanzar el umbral de apreciación del AutoRegalo de Dios hasta el punto de que, por la gracia de Dios,
pueda morir de éxtasis durante la celebración de la Santa
Misa. La Beata Imelda, patrona de la Primera Comunión,
murió de éxtasis durante el tiempo de oración en silencio
después de su Primera Comunión a la edad de 11 años.
Comenzamos la Misa con la señal de la cruz y “En el
Nombre del Padre del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo.” Dios es
amor. Dios es una comunión de vida y amor. Dios es una
Trinidad, tres Personas en una sola Naturaleza Divina. Dios
nos ama primero y siempre. Jesus derramó su sangre sobre
la cruz para el perdón de nuestros pecados. Esta es la máxima expresión de amor imaginable. No hay ningún amor
mayor. Comenzamos cada Misa con este enfoque en Dios
que es amor, y en la cruz que nos recuerda cuan profundo es
el Amor de Dios por los pobres pecadores. Dios está dispuesto para dar su vida y su amor en nosotros de nuevo
siempre cuando abramos nuestros corazones en oración con
la señal de la cruz y la invocación de la Trinidad.
Bendiciones P. John
