The good news of today’s Gospel is
the extravagance of what is being given us. All
we need do is be faithful in “small matters.” The
cost of fidelity has no comparison to the reward
given.
When you give furniture, household items and
clothing that you no longer use to the Society of
St. Vincent de Paul, you are sharing God’s
extravagant love. Please call Vincent’s Resale
Shop to arrange for a pick-up or drop items off
at 6654 Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX 77087

Como actuamos en la Iglesia
La Iglesia es un lugar
sagrado, reservado para
el culto a Dios. El
Santísimo Sacramento
está en el tabernáculo y
Su Presencia Real
requiere de nosotros la
mayor reverencia. Es por
eso que, aunque no se
esté celebrando la Santa Misa, el ambiente en la iglesia
debe conducir a la oración y el respeto a Dios. Es más
bien un lugar sagrado, diferente a todos los demás. ¡Es
casa de oración! Toda nuestra actitud debe reflejar
nuestra fe en la Presencia de Cristo. Tenemos la
obligación moral de reflexionar sobre nuestro propio
comportamiento y enseñar a nuestros hijos.
Algunas reglas en la Iglesia:
Prohibidos chicles, comidas y bebidas.
Vestir decorosamente. Evitar escotes y vestidos
provocativos; evitar jeans, pantalones
apretados, shorts, camisetas.
Mantener el teléfono apagado. Nunca utilizarlo
en la iglesia.
Persignarse con agua bendita al entrar. Nos
recuerda nuestro bautismo.
Hacer genuflexión ante el sagrario (tocar el
suelo con la rodilla derecha)
Guardar silencio por respeto, para facilitar el
recogimiento y la oración.
En la misa:
Saber cuándo sentarse, arrodillarse y pararse.
Participar en las oraciones y los cantos.
Cuidar de no hacer ruido con los reclinatorios al
levantarlos y bajarlos.
Sentarse con postura decorosa. No acostarse
en los bancos.
Enseñar a los niños a comportarse, si lloran,
sacarlos tantito. No correr por la Iglesia.
Para comulgar:
Es necesario practicar la fe católica y estar en
gracia de Dios para ir a comulgar.
Respetar la hora del ayuno.

The Legion
of Mary,
listed officially as
a pious union in
the Church may
be defined as an
association of
Catholics,
formed into an
army for service
in the spiritual
warfare which
the Church is
perpetually
waging against
the evil forces in
the world. The
Legion aims to
sanctify its members by a solid interior life of prayer
which forms the mainspring of a very definite, active
cooperation in spiritual work assigned by the Church.
A Legionary must forget himself, his own comforts
and desires and concentrate completely on what he
can do for others with the power of the Holy Spirit and
the ministering help of Mary..."
Interested in becoming a member and being part of
Mary's army? Join us on Mondays at 6:30 p.m. in
room 1. For those interested in the Legion of Mary but
cannot attend the Monday meetings, consider
becoming an Auxiliary Member. Auxiliary members do
not undertake the active apostolate of weekly
meetings and weekly two hour assignment, but they
assist the active Legionaries with the Tessera
Prayers, which consist of all the prayers of the weekly
meeting. Contact Lora Ruzicka
([email protected] or 281-333-3891) for

mí. Ya tengo un mes
de edad. Tengo un
corazón bombeando
mi sangre y tengo
una columna
vertebral. Soy muy,
pero muy chiquito
pero agradezco tus
oraciones.
