결혼
하나님은 남자와 여자를 사랑으로 창조하시고, 서로 관계에서 하나님의 사랑을 본받으라고 명령하셨습니다. 남자와 여자는 서로를 위해 창조되었습니다. 여자와 남자는 인간의 존엄성에 있어서 동등하며, 결혼을 통해 둘은 깨지지 않는 유대로 결합됩니다. (미국 가톨릭 성인 교리서, Ch. 21, p. 279)
혼인성사는 교회를 향한 하느님 사랑의 눈에 보이는 표징입니다. 남자와 여자가 교회 안에서 결혼하면 그들은 평생 동안 연합하는 데 필요한 은혜를 받습니다.
결혼은 언약이다
혼인성사는 하느님과 그분의 백성 사이에 아브라함과 맺은 계약, 나중에는 시내산에서 모세와 맺은 계약의 형상을 따른 계약적 결합입니다. 이 신성한 계약은 결코 깨질 수 없습니다. 이처럼 결혼은 배우자를 평생 동안 함께 묶어 주는 결합입니다.
혼인성사는 그리스도와 교회의 연합을 의미한다. 이는 그리스도께서 당신 교회를 사랑하신 사랑으로 배우자들에게 서로 사랑할 수 있는 은총을 줍니다. 그리하여 성사의 은총은 부부의 인간적 사랑을 완성하고, 그들의 불가해한 일치를 강화하며, 영원한 생명의 길에서 그들을 성화시킵니다. (CCC 1661)
결혼 관계에서의 사랑은 자신을 다른 사람에게 온전히 내어주는 것에서 예시됩니다. 우리가 결혼의 또 다른 모델인 그리스도와 교회의 관계에서 볼 수 있는 것은 이러한 자기 증여와 자기 희생의 사랑입니다.
결혼은 계약 당사자들의 동의, 즉 신실하고 열매 맺는 사랑의 계약을 실천하기 위해 상호간에 최종적으로 자신을 서로에게 주겠다는 의지에 기초합니다. (CCC 1662)
교회는 혼인성사의 평생 성격을 진지하게 받아들입니다. 교회는 이 언약을 어기는 것이 하나님의 자연법에 어긋나는 것이라고 가르칩니다.
살아 있고 합법적인 배우자와 이혼한 사람의 재혼은 그리스도께서 가르치신 하나님의 계획과 율법에 위배됩니다. 그들은 교회에서 분리되지는 않았지만 성체성사를 받을 수는 없습니다. 그들은 특히 자녀들을 신앙으로 교육함으로써 그리스도인의 삶을 살게 될 것입니다. (CCC 1665)
결혼은 삼위일체를 반영한다
우리는 하나님이 영원한 친교 안에 존재하신다는 것을 믿습니다. 성부와 성자와 성령은 시작도 없고 끝도 없이 한 존재로 연합되어 있습니다. 마찬가지로 인간도 다른 인간과의 친교를 위해 하나님의 형상대로 하나님에 의해 창조되었습니다.
가톨릭교회 교리서에는 “그리스도인 가정은 인격의 친교이며, 성령 안에서 성부와 성자의 친교의 표징이자 표상입니다”(CCC 2205)라고 명시되어 있습니다. 혼인성사는 “하나가 되고, 분리될 수 없으며, 다산에 완전히 열려 있도록 우리를 부릅니다.” 최고의 기독교 결혼은 두 사람의 사랑 사이에 표현된 하나님의 자기 증여 사랑을 반영합니다.

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.
