그에게는 아버지 하나님이 인치셨느니라. (요한복음 6:27)
견진성사를 통해 우리는 성령의 은사를 받고 세례 약속을 확증합니다. 성령의 은총에 대한 더 큰 인식은 성유의 도유와 주교의 안수를 통해 주어집니다.
견진은 세례의 은총을 완성합니다. 우리를 하느님의 자녀 안에 더욱 깊이 뿌리내리고, 그리스도 안에 더욱 확고하게 결합시키며, 교회와의 유대를 더욱 강화하고, 교회의 사명에 더욱 긴밀히 참여시키며, 말과 행동이 함께하는 기독교 신앙. (CCC 1316)
견진성사를 통해 우리는 세례 서약을 갱신하고 그리스도교 신앙 안에서 성숙한 삶을 살 것을 다짐합니다. 제2차 바티칸 공의회에서 나온 루멘 겐티움(교회의 교의헌장)에서 우리는 다음과 같이 읽었습니다.
견진성사를 통해 교회와 더욱 밀접하게 결합된 [세례받은 사람들]은 성령으로부터 특별한 힘을 부여받습니다. 그러므로 그들은 그리스도의 참된 증인으로서 말과 행동으로 신앙을 전파하고 수호할 더욱 엄격한 의무를 집니다. (11호)
확인을 위한 성경적 기초
사도행전에서 우리는 오순절에 성령이 오신 것에 대해 읽습니다. 세례가 새 생명의 성사라면, 견진성사는 그 생명을 낳는 것입니다. 세례는 우리를 교회에 들어오게 하고 우리를 하나님의 자녀로 부르는 반면, 견진은 우리를 하나님의 자녀로 부르고 세상에서 그리스도의 적극적인 메시아 사명에 우리를 더욱 완전하게 결합시킵니다.
오순절에 성령의 능력을 받은 후 사도들은 나가서 다른 사람들을 확인하여 개인적이고 분리된 성사임을 확증했습니다. 사마리아의 베드로와 요한(행 8:5-6, 253-839-2320과 에베소의 바울 (사도행전 19:5-6) 또한 가이사랴에서 유대인이나 이방인들이 세례를 받기 전에 성령이 그들에게 임하셨느니라. 이것을 성령의 확증으로 인식한 베드로는 그들에게 세례를 받으라고 명했습니다(참조, 행 10:47).

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.
