오늘날 가톨릭 신자가 되는 것
오늘날 세계 가톨릭 교회의 구성원으로서 신자들은 자신의 신앙을 더 넓은 공동체와 나누도록 부름을 받고 있습니다. 그리스도의 발자취를 따르면서 우리는 자녀를 키우는 방법, 친구, 가족, 직장 동료와 상호 작용하는 방법, 현대 문화에 참여하는 방법에 대한 믿음을 증거합니다. 수 세기 동안 가톨릭교회보다 도움이 필요한 형제자매들을 더 많이 돌본 교회는 없었습니다. 가톨릭 신앙의 시작은 하나님의 계시입니다. 우리는 하나님이 우리를 사랑하시며 그의 창조물과 관계를 맺기를 원하신다는 것을 믿습니다. 우리는 하나님께서 여러 가지 방법으로 자신을 계시하신다고 믿습니다. 특히 성경(기록된)과 전통(기록되지 않은)이라는 두 가지 형태로 우리에게 오는 그분의 말씀의 계시를 통해 더욱 그렇습니다. 하나님 계시의 궁극적인 표시는 성육신입니다. 하나님은 예수 그리스도 안에서 인간이 되셨습니다. 성육신은 하나님의 백성을 향한 하나님의 사랑의 궁극적인 표시이다. 가톨릭 신자들은 삼위일체, 즉 성부, 성자, 성령이라는 한 본성을 지닌 세 위격으로 계시된 하나님을 믿습니다. 교회는 그리스도께서 성령의 능력으로 세우셨고, 사도전승을 통해 수세기에 걸쳐 계속되어 왔습니다. 파스카 신비, 즉 예수 그리스도의 십자가형, 죽음, 부활은 모든 전례 거행의 중심 신비이며, 특히 가톨릭 신자로서 우리 삶의 “원천이자 정점”인 미사입니다. 미사는 교회의 중심이자 구속력 있는 거행입니다. 우리는 공동체 안에서 가장 온전하게 성찬 생활을 삽니다. 그리스도께서는 우리에게 죄 용서를 요청하시며, 우리는 화해의 성사를 죄를 고치고 하느님과 우리 자신, 그리고 다른 사람들과의 올바른 관계로 돌아가는 방법으로 인식합니다. 우리는 성찬례 안에 예수 그리스도께서 실제로 현존하심으로 양육받고 먹힙니다. 부활하신 그리스도의 현존은 거룩한 전례와 그리스도의 몸으로 모인 공동체, 말씀, 주례자, 특히 성찬례(예수의 몸과 피)를 통해 드러납니다. 그리스도의 살아 있는 몸으로서 가톨릭 신자들은 “반문화”적인 삶을 살도록 부름을 받았습니다. 예수님께서 봉사하신 것처럼 우리도 서로 봉사하라는 부르심을 받았습니다. 비록 이것이 세상에서 고통을 의미하더라도 우리는 우리의 믿음과 신념을 옹호합니다. 가톨릭 사회 가르침은 우리에게 잉태되는 순간부터 자연 생명이 끝나는 순간까지 특히 인간의 존엄성을 돌볼 것을 요구합니다. 우리는 가난한 사람들을 돌보고, 환경을 돌보고, 모두를 위한 공정한 노동 조건을 보장하고, 사람들에게 평등한 대우를 허용하는 경제 시스템을 위해 노력하라는 부르심을 받았습니다. 우리는 모든 천사들과 성인들, 특히 하느님의 어머니이신 마리아와 연합되어 있음을 믿으며 그들의 거룩한 모범을 따라 삶의 모델을 삼고 있습니다. 우리는 마리아와 모든 성인들에게 우리를 위해 전구해 주시기를 기도합니다. 개인 기도와 공동 기도는 가톨릭 신앙의 특징입니다. 우리는 하나님과의 관계를 강화하고 믿음과 사랑이 자라도록 기도합니다. 우리는 매주 공동기도인 미사를 위해 모이면서 전 세계의 모든 신자들, 즉 보편교회와 하나가 됩니다.

Morning Prayer , Holy Family Chapel, Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM Prayers of the Faithful For those who are sick. For those in our community who have passed away. Dear Friends, Congratulations! God’s grace has seen us through yet another year. This is because the Liturgical Year of the Church comes to an end on November 26th, with the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. As we end the liturgical year, and look toward Advent, our readings reflect a need to prepare ourselves for the Final Judgment, when Christ the King will establish justice by passing sentence on every human being and rewarding those who surrender themselves to loving unconditionally. According to the Gospel of Matthew, the criteria used by the Son of Man is based on “whatever you did for one of the least brothers of mine.” Although this certainly includes the poorest of the poor, this begins with how well we treat those who are identified with the Body of Christ, the Church. This means that each of us do well to make an examination of conscience on how well we relieve the suffering of the spiritually and materially impoverished, hungry, thirsty, naked, and imprisoned among us. The Sacrament of Reconciliation serves as a natural outflowing of an informed Examination of Conscience, and Advent is replete with opportunities for this sacrament. Why not make this the Blessed Christmas Ever - by marking your calendar to attend any of the following Advent Reconciliation Services as appropriate: Friday, December 1st at 10:00 am - School Advent Reconciliation Service Wednesday, December 6th at 6:30 pm - Youth and Family Reconciliation Service Saturday, December 9th at 10:00 am - Sacramental Prep Family Reconciliation Service Monday, December 11th at 6:30 pm - All Parish Advent Reconciliation Service Should you find committing to any of these dates difficult, please remember that Reconciliation is available on Saturdays from 3:00 – 4:30 pm, or you can call me at (253) 839-2320, ext 207 to schedule a personal appointment. This is one concrete action that can help change the world, because, together, we can alleviate suffering, starting with our own best selves. Let’s get ready for a year of favor acceptable to Christ the King! Sincerely, Fr. John Patrick First Friday Eucharistic Adoration : Join us in the Holy Family Chapel for Eucharistic exposition and adoration from 10am to 10pm on Friday, December 1st .

Lk 17:7-10 The relationship between master and servant is well defined as is the role and attitude of the servant. Good work is an ordinary part of the duties of the servant without expectation of a special reward. Jesus is telling the disciples that faithful service is what is expected of one who commits to following him. Divine Master, we serve you willingly without any expectations other than the feeling that comes with doing your will, what is right and good.

Faith Focus for the Week Have I kept any of my gifts hidden for a long time? How might God’s care shine through them if brought out into the light to share with others
The Mass is a unique and marvelous sacrifice. It is the mystical reality in which Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is renewed. The Mass is also a sacred banquet where together as the Church family we fulfill Jesus’ command at the Last Supper to “Do this in memory of me.” In many ways, the liturgy is similar to (but certainly more than) a family meal. It may help children to think about Mass as a “holy meal.” Before we sit down to eat together as a family, we usually wash up and get ready. That is similar to what we do when we enter the church and bless ourselves with holy water. The holy water is a reminder of our baptism in which we were “washed clean” of sin in order to be able to share the Eucharist. As families gather around the table, we hear about the important news of the day. We do the same thing at Mass when we listen to the readings, especially the Gospel (the Good News), and say the opening prayers. This helps us prepare our hearts for the rest of the Eucharistic meal. In most homes, dinnertime is a time to talk as a family, to bring up issues that are important to the family as a whole. In some ways, this is what the priest is doing when he preaches the homily. He discusses aspects of our faith life and provides practical applications for living our beliefs after we leave the table of the Lord. Of course, without food there would be no dinner, and without bread and wine there would be no Eucharist, so at Mass we bring up the sacred gifts to the altar just as we bring the food from the kitchen to the dining room table. Before our family starts to eat, we say grace. Praying the Lord’s Prayer and extending the kiss of peace is our Church’s family’s grace, a way to connect and be present to each other. Jesus commanded us to “take and eat.” During Communion, we, as an entire Church family, do that when we share the Body and Blood of Christ. We all eat the same food and the same drink, in the same way as families do at home, only this food and drink, instead of merely nourishing the body, provides nourishment for our souls. We receive the real and true presence of the risen Jesus in the Eucharist, and we look to our eternal life with Christ at the heavenly banquet. Finally, once our family dinner is complete, each of us leave to go about our separate activities. At Mass, the same thing occurs after the dismissal and final blessing, when we “go forth” to “announce the Gospel of the Lord.” When we look at Mass as sharing a holy meal with our beloved brother Jesus and the rest of our Church family, we can come to understand that it is truly “in the breaking of the bread that we come to know him.” This content comes to you from Our Sunday Visitor courtesy of your parish or diocese.
