세례
아멘 아멘 내가 너희에게 이르노니 누구든지 물과 성령으로 나지 아니하면 하나님 나라에 들어갈 수 없느니라. (요한복음 3:5)
세례성사는 우리를 신성한 생명으로 인도하고, 우리를 죄에서 깨끗하게 하며, 그리스도교 공동체의 일원으로 입문시킵니다. 이것이 성찬 생활의 기초입니다.
세례식에서 사회자는 물 위에서 다음과 같이 기도합니다.
아버지, 이제 당신의 교회를 사랑으로 바라보시고, 교회를 위해 세례의 샘을 열어 주소서. 성령의 능력으로 이 물에 아드님의 은총을 주소서. 그리하여 세례성사를 통해 당신을 닮은 모든 사람이 죄에서 깨끗해지고 물과 성령으로 무죄하게 새로 태어나게 하소서. 성령. (성인 기독교 입문, #222A)
죄에서 해방됨
세례는 원죄와 실제 죄의 속박에서 우리를 해방시킵니다. 성부와 성자와 성령의 이름으로 물을 부어 주시느니라. 오늘날 세례성사는 종종 출생 직후 유아들에게 거행됩니다. 성인 세례는 복원된 성인 기독교 입문 예식을 통해 부활절 성야에서 거행됩니다. 유효한 기독교 교회에서 세례를 받은 성인이나 어린이는 가톨릭 교회에서 다시 세례를 받을 수 없습니다. 니케아 신경에서 말했듯이, “나는 죄 용서를 위한 유일한 세례를 고백합니다…
교리문답은 다음과 같이 가르칩니다.
“세례, 즉 세례 은총의 열매는 원죄와 모든 개인 죄의 용서, 인간이 아버지의 양자가 되고 그리스도의 지체가 되고 하느님의 성전이 되는 새 생명으로의 탄생을 포함하는 풍성한 현실입니다. 성령. 바로 이 사실로 세례를 받은 사람은 그리스도의 몸인 교회에 연합되고, 그리스도의 사제직에 참여하는 사람이 됩니다.”(CCC 1279)
세례 상징
- 물 – 세례의 물은 예수님께서 요르단 강에서 세례 요한에게 세례를 받으신 것을 기억합니다. 물은 우리가 그리스도 안에서 새로운 삶을 시작할 때 정화와 재생의 상징입니다. 우리는 죄로부터 깨끗이 씻겨졌습니다. 기름 – 세례를 통해 우리는 “제사장과 선지자와 왕”으로서 그리스도의 생명 안으로 기름 부음을 받았습니다. 우리가 하나님 나라의 상속자임을 상기시키기 위해 후보자의 이마에 십자가가 그려져 있습니다. 빛 – 세례식 초는 세상에 있는 그리스도의 빛의 표시로 교회에 세워진 유월절 또는 부활절 초에서 켜집니다. 세례를 받을 때 우리는 그리스도의 빛을 받고 이 빛을 세상과 나누도록 부르심을 받습니다. 흰 옷 – 세례 때 입혀지는 흰 옷은 죽음을 이기신 그리스도의 승리와 영광스러운 부활을 상징합니다. 마찬가지로, 임종 시 관 위에 씌워지는 흰 옷이나 관은 우리가 침례 받을 때 약속한 것을 기억하고 우리가 영생을 누릴 운명임을 상기시켜 줍니다.
일반적인 상황에서는 가톨릭 교회의 성찬이 성품을 받은 성직자에 의해 유효하게 집전되지만, 긴급 상황에서는 누구나 세례성사가 집전될 수 있습니다.
필요한 경우, 교회가 행하는 일을 하려는 의도가 있고 후보자의 머리에 물을 붓고 다음과 같이 말하면 누구든지 세례를 줄 수 있습니다. “나는 아버지와 아들의 이름으로 세례를 줍니다. 그리고 성령의 것”(CCC 1284).

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.
