2 T HIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY~ORDINARY TIME 2 NOVEMBER 8, 2015 Holy Mass as a Community A few weekends ago, we took a survey in order to assess our Sunday Mass experience. From your comments and responses, we have found that your top priorities are the following: 1. That the pastor greet the people after Mass 2. That another priest celebrate Mass when the pastor cannot celebrate it 3. That the people of Resurrection Catholic Community feel united when they attend Mass 4. That the pastor preach at the Mass even if he cannot celebrate it You also responded that it is important to have music at Mass and that the pastor celebrate the Mass every Sunday. These answers will assist us in advancing how we do liturgy during the weekend, which is the most important thing that we do. So, in order to fulfill the priorities listed above, we can begin with our Mass schedule. The ideal for us would be to have one Mass for the whole community. Convenience for people's schedule is not the top priority. It is far more important that the Mass be an expression and an instrument of the unity of our whole community in Christ Jesus through the Holy Eucharist. One Mass would also allow the pastor to celebrate with his whole community. The second priority is that it be celebrated in a way that the people can understand and connect. For this reason, we should have at least one Mass in English and one Mass in Spanish. Finally, there are the practical priorities. We cannot fit the entire community into one Mass. Parking is already a challenge. For this reason, we have more than two celebrations. We are keeping close track of the Mass attendance every Sunday, and I am prayerfully working with the Pastoral Council, the Hispanic Ministry Committee, and the Pastoral Council at La Divina Providencia to make decisions that meet the spiritual priorities of our community. In the mean time, we are making some positive adjustments to our Mass schedule. These will reduce the stress of parking and movement between the Masses. They will also allow more time for fellowship, especially for the pastor with parishioners. Saturday Mass times are unchanged. The current Sunday Mass schedule is the following: 7:30am English 9:00am Spanish 9:00am Spanish at La Divina Providencia 11:00am English 12:30pm Spanish 2:00pm Spanish at La Divina Providencia Beginning January 3, the updated schedule will be: 7:00am English 9:00am Spanish 11:00am English 1:00pm Spanish 3:00pm Spanish at La Divina Providencia It is our hope that this new schedule will advance our community in its mission to grow in unity in Christ Our Lord. Let us continue to pray fervently that we may always be guided by the Holy Spirit. Santa Misa como una comunidad Hace unos fines de semana, tomamos una encuesta para evaluar nuestra Experiencia en la Misa Dominical. De sus comentarios y respuestas, hemos encontrado que sus prioridades principales son las siguientes: 1. Que el pastor salude a la gente al final de la misa. 2. Que otro sacerdote celebre la misa cuando el pastor no puede celebrarlo. 3. Que el pueblo de la Comunidad Católica de Resurrección se sientan unidos cuando asisten a misa. 4. Que el pastor predique en la misa, incluso cuando no puede celebrarlo. También respondió que es importante contar con la música en la misa y también que el pastor celebre la misa todos los domingos. Estas respuestas nos ayudarán a avanzar en la forma en que hacemos liturgia durante el fin de semana, que es lo más importante que hacemos. Así, con el fin de cumplir con las prioridades mencionadas anteriormente, podemos comenzar con nuestro horario de las misas. Lo ideal para nosotros sería tener una sola misa para toda la comunidad. Comodidad para el horario de la gente no es la máxima prioridad. Es mucho más importante que la misa sea una expresión y un instrumento de unidad de toda nuestra comunidad en Cristo Jesús por medio de la Eucaristía. Una misa también permite al pastor celebrar con toda su comunidad. La segunda prioridad es que se celebre de una manera que la gente pueda entender y conectarse. Por esta razón, deberíamos tener al menos una misa en Inglés y una misa en español. Por último, existen las prioridades prácticos. No podemos acomodar a toda la comunidad en una sola misa. El estacionamiento ya es un desafío. Por esta razón, tenemos más de dos celebraciones. Estamos manteniendo un seguimiento de la asistencia en las misas todos los domingos y estoy en oración trabajando con el Consejo Pastoral, el Comité de Ministerio Hispano, y el Consejo Pastoral de La Divina Providencia, para tomar decisiones que respondan a las prioridades espirituales de nuestra comunidad. Por el momento, estamos haciendo algunos ajustes positivos a nuestro horario de las misas. Esto reduciría el estrés del estacionamiento y movimiento entre las misas. También dará más tiempo de convivencia, en especial para el pastor. Misa de sábado tiempos no han cambiado. El horario actual de las misas en domingo es la siguiente: 7:30am Ingles 9:00am Español 9:00am Español en La Divina Providencia 11:00am Ingles 12:30pm Español 2:00pm Español en La Divina Providencia Comenzando el 3 de Enero, el horario actualizado será: 7:00am Ingles 9:00am Español 11:00am Ingles 1:00pm Español 3:00pm Español en La Divina Providencia Es nuestra esperanza que este nuevo horario avance nuestra comunidad en su misión de crecer en la unidad en Cristo Nuestro Señor. Sigamos orando fervientemente para que siempre podamos ser guiados por el Espíritu Santo.

3 XXXII DOMINGO ~ TIEMPO ORDINARIO 3 8 DE NOVIEMBRE DEL 2015 Healing Masses Second Wednesdays at 6:30pm November If I just touch even His garments, I shall be made well. And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And Jesus, perceiving in Himself that power had gone forth from Him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, Who touched My garments?...and He looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before Him, and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your disease. Mark 5:28-34 Come, lift up your heart and soul to Christ and allow Him to pour out His mercy and grace for healing. He longs to heal our souls so that we can know His peace and love and grow closer to Him, our families, and all those around us. Anointing of the Sick during Mass. Father will pray over individuals after Mass. Misas de Sanación Cada Segundo Miércoles a las 6:30pm Noviembre Tan sólo con que llegue a tocar su capa, quedaré sana. Al momento, el derrame de sangre se detuvo, y sintió en el cuerpo que ya estaba curada de su enfermedad. Jesús, dándose cuenta de que había salido poder de él, se volvió a mirar a la gente, y preguntó: Quién me ha tocado la ropa?...pero Jesús seguía mirando a su alrededor, para ver quién lo había tocado. Entonces la mujer, temblando de miedo y sabiendo lo que le había pasado, fue y se arrodilló delante de él, y le contó toda la verdad. Jesús le dijo: Hija, por tu fe has sido sanada. Vete tranquila y curada ya de tu enfermedad. Marcos 5:28-34 Ven, levante su corazón y el alma a Cristo y permita que se derrame Su misericordia y gracia para ser sanado. Él desea sanar nuestras almas, para poder conocer Su paz y amor y acercarnos a El, nuestras familias, y todos los que nos rodean. Unción de los Enfermos durante la Misa. El Padre hará oración individual después de Misa. From dodgeball to sharing our faith, to nose diving into a bowl of ice cream, the Middle School Youth Group is back! Middle school students, grades 6-8, meet every Thursday from 6:30pm-8pm in the gym for tons of fun and to hear about the how much the Father's love is "Better Than Life." We join in laughter, raise our voices high in worship, and share our lives in small groups. This week we grew closer together as we laughed and joined together in a night of Fellowship. Through sharing a meal together and playing games, we are growing close as a community so we can share in each other's story. Our semester on "Better Than Life" looks at how God's love is truly better than life. Based on Psalm 63 we are exploring this theme through teaching and small group discussions, as well by sharing in community the joy that He gives us. We would like to invite all middle school students to join us THURSDAYS 6:30pm - 8pm in the GYM and come see what is "Better Than Life!"
