CHRIST THE GOOD SHEPHERD CATHOLIC COMMUNITY
SPRING, TEXAS
Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “The Eucharist
is the ‘source and summit of the Christian life...’ In brief, the
Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith: Our way of
thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and the Eucharist in turn
confirms our way of thinking” (#’s 1324, 1327). I hope that as
you prepare to come to and are actually at Mass, you are aware
of the immense gift that the holy Eucharist is to us from God our
Father through His Son Jesus.
We should all reflect on the readings of the Mass BEFORE we
arrive at church. If you have children, your entire family should sit
down together and read through these readings and discuss what
these readings mean depending on the ability of each member. In
this way, you will have begun your spiritual preparation and your
mind and heart will be more open and ready to receive the word
of God at Mass. There are several ways to obtain the daily
readings. Including from the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops, www.usccb.org. There are publications that are out that
offer the daily readings. And, of course, we publish the daily
readings in our weekly bulletin.
As the Liturgy of the Word is finished (with the Prayers of the
Faithful) we begin the Liturgy of the Eucharist. As the collection
baskets are passed around, we are reminded that the Lord asks
us to give back to His Church a minimum of 10% of what He has
gifted to us through our time, our abilities and, yes, from our
treasure. The baskets represent the gratitude of the faithful
people of God and as the gifts of bread and wine are processed
down the center isle, they carry with them the prayers, petitions
and desires of all gathered. When the priest/presider and/or
deacon receive these gifts, they receive all that is intended. As
the gifts are placed on the altar, the bread and wine and all of the
unspoken prayers and needs of the people of God are offered up
to the majesty of the Lord.
Our Church teaches us that every time we participate in the
holy sacrifice of the Mass, we are participating in the one and only
Last Supper with Jesus Christ. It is not a symbol of, but rather is
the Last Supper and the priest is Christ offering the eternal
sacrifice of reconciliation. In the words of the Eucharistic Prayer
and certainly in the words of consecration, the priest stands in
persona Christi, in the person of Christ. Through the power of the
Holy Spirit the elements of bread and wine are changed (from the
inside out) into the Body and Blood of Christ. Our doctrine calls
this, transubstantiation.
When we come forward for holy Communion, the bishops of
the United States teach that the proper stance for receiving holy
Communion is standing and in procession, as if on pilgrimage to
the eternal Jerusalem and final destination of all Christians. When
the Eucharistic Minister says either, “The Body of Christ” or “The
Blood of Christ,” our proper response is, “Amen” meaning, “I
believe.”
Finally, I wish to encourage your attendance for ALL of
the Mass, from the beginning of the first hymn until the end
of the last. We are attending the banquet of the Lord, not
going through a drive through line at a restaurant. If we
cannot be civil and courteous to one another in the parking
lot after Mass, then for what have we just come and done?
Likewise, we should be eager to spend time with the Lord
and our sisters and brothers, not rushing to get in an out.
Christ the Good Shepherd come to our aid.

Undécimo domingo de tiempo Ordinario
El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica afirma que "La Eucaristía es la
"fuente y cumbre de la vida cristiana..." En resumen, la Eucaristía es el
compendio y la suma de nuestra fe: Nuestra forma de pensar está en
sintonía a la Eucaristía y, a su vez la Eucaristía confirma nuestra
manera de pensar" (del # 1324, 1327). Espero que en proceso de su
preparación para venir y estar presente en la Misa, sean conscientes del
inmenso regalo que la Santa Eucaristía para nosotros de Nuestro Padre
Dios.
Todos debemos reflexionar sobre las lecturas de la Misa antes de
llegar a la iglesia. Si usted tiene niños, toda la familia debe sentarse y
leer juntos, reflexionar las lecturas y discutir lo que significan estas
lecturas en función de la capacidad de cada uno de sus miembros. De
esta manera, usted habrá comenzado la preparación espiritual, con la
mente y el corazón estará más abierto y listo para recibir la palabra de
Dios en la Misa. Hay varias formas de obtener las lecturas diarias.
Incluso desde la página web www.usccb.org. De la Conferencia de
Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos, hay publicaciones que están
disponibles que ofrecen las lecturas diarias; y por supuesto publicamos
las lecturas diarias en nuestro boletín semanal.
Cuando la Liturgia de la Palabra termina (con la oración de los fieles)
comenzamos la Liturgia de la Eucaristía. Cuando se van pasando las
canastas de la colecta, nos recuerda que el Señor nos pide devolvamos
a Su iglesia un mínimo del 10% del cual El nos ha bendecido a todos
nosotros ya sea con tiempo, nuestras habilidades y, sí, también de
nuestro tesoro. Las canastas representan la gratitud del pueblo fiel a
Dios y mientras la ofrenda del pan y el vino procesan por el centro hacia
el altar, llevan con ellos los rezos, peticiones y deseos de todos los aquí
reunidos. Cuando el sacerdote/ y/ o el diácono reciben estos regalos,
reciben todo esas peticiones. Cuando los regalos son colocados en el
altar, el pan y vino y todas nuestras suplicas, necesidades personales
del pueblo de Dios son ofrecidos ante la majestad del Señor.
Nuestra Iglesia nos enseña que cada vez que participamos en el
santo sacrificio de la Misa, estamos participando en la incomparable
Ultima Cena con Jesucristo. No es un símbolo solamente, sino más bien
es la última cena y el sacerdote es Cristo ofreciendo el sacrificio eterno
de la reconciliación. En las palabras de la Oración Eucarística y, desde
luego, en las palabras de la consagración, el sacerdote in persona
Christi, en la persona de Cristo. A través del poder del Espíritu Santo los
elementos del pan y el vino han cambiado (por dentro y por fuera) en el
Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo. Nuestra doctrina llama a esto, la
transubstanciación.
Cuando nos acercamos a recibir la Sagrada Comunión, los obispos
de los Estados Unidos enseñan que la postura apropiada para recibir la
Sagrada Comunión es de pie y en procesión, como en peregrinación
hacia Jerusalén nuestro eterno y final destino de todos los cristianos.
Cuando el Ministro Eucarístico dice, “El Cuerpo de Cristo” o “La Sangre
de Cristo”, nuestra respuesta apropiada es, “Amén” significa, “Creo”.
Por último, quiero animar su asistencia a toda la Misa, desde el
principio del primer y último canto. Estamos asistiendo al banquete del
Señor, no vamos en la línea de un restaurante de comida
rápida. ¿Si no podemos ser civiles y corteses unos con otros en
el estacionamiento después de la Misa?, ¿entonces para qué
hemos venido y hecho? Asimismo, debemos estar dispuestos a
pasar tiempo con el Señor así también con nuestros hermanos
y hermanas; no apresurarse en entrar y salir tan pronto como
pueda.
Cristo el buen pastor, ven en nuestra ayuda,
Padre James Burkart, Pastor

Hello my name is Gloria Scoyola and I am the new RCIA
Director. Are you interested in the Catholic Faith? Are you
an adult who has never been baptized? Or do you have a
child older than the age of 7 who has never been baptized? I
would love to talk to you about the Catholic faith and the
sacraments of the Church. The informal inquiry sessions for
adults begin on Monday, July 6, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. in the
PAC Bride’s Room. These sessions are also for adults
baptized in another Christian denomination who are now
interested in the Catholic Faith. Please call me for an
appointment 281-376-6831 or drop by on July 6. I look
forward to meeting you! [email protected]
In Fall, 2015, a six-week session of small faith-sharing groups
that meet in homes and other locations throughout the parish.
“ARISE Together in Christ” is a parish centered process of
evangelization and spiritual renewal that enables people to
develop a closer relationship with Christ, grow in Community,
and reach out in service to others.”
“Take heart; ARISE; He is calling you!” Mk 10:49
JUNE 14, 2015
14 de JUNIO 2015
El RICA es el proceso por el cual los adultos, mayores de
18 años, que tienen interés en ser Católicos entran en
nuestra fe. Si nunca recibiste el bautizo o si fuiste
bautizado en otra fe cristiana, por favor llámame para
platicar del proceso que necesitas para recibir los
sacramentos de la Iglesia Católica. Este proceso es
también para los adultos que fueron bautizados Católicos
pero que nunca fueron a la doctrina y que no han
cumplido con los sacramentos de la Primera Comunión y
la Confirmación. Comuníquese con Gloria Scoyola en al
281-376-6831 [email protected]
Dios mediante, el proceso se llevará a cabo durante el otoño de este
año 2015. La duración es de seis semanas donde formaremos grupos
pequeños que se reunirán en ciertos hogares y locales dentro de la
parroquia.
“LEVANTATE, Unidos en Cristo” es un proceso de evangelización y
renovación espiritual que capacita cada uno para desarrollar una
relación más cercana con Cristo, para el crecimiento de la comunidad
y del servicio a los demás.
“¡Vamos, Levántate; que te está llamando!” Mk 10:49
Respect Life Update
The heart of the our ministry is based on the encyclical of Saint Pope John Paul II. In his “Gospel of Life”
Pope John Paul quotes the following from the Second Vatican Council.
Whatever is opposed to Life itself such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion , euthanasia or willful
self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the human persons such as mutilation, torments inflicted
on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity such as subhuman living
conditions, arbitrary imprisonment , deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling or women and children as
disgraceful working conditions where people are treated as mere instruments of greed rather than free and
responsible persons; all these things and others like them are infamies indeed. They poison human society
and they do more harm to those who practice them than to those who suffer from their injury. Moreover, they are a supreme
dishonor to the Creator. EV#3
Next: Death came into the World.
Attention: MARRIED COUPLES
