SAKRAMENTI
Sakramenti
Maisha yote ya kiliturujia ya Kanisa yanahusu dhabihu ya Ekaristi na sakramenti. (CCC 1113)
Ingawa tunaamini kwamba maisha ya mwanadamu yametiwa wema wa sakramenti ya Mungu, Kanisa Katoliki limefafanua sakramenti saba - zilizoanzishwa na kupitia maisha ya Yesu Kristo. Ni kupitia uzoefu wa ibada ya sakramenti ndipo tunatiwa neema ya Mungu. Sakramenti hutulisha na kututia nguvu zinapoeleza na kujenga imani yetu.

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.
