he Body and Blood of Christ
--our salvation. The saving
meal has its own feast. What
I want you to think of, today, though, is
about YOURSELVES! We are the
Body of Christ, we become what we
eat. We've been eating this Heavenly
Food for 2000 years, do you think
we've even begun to realize that It is
what we are, or that we are what It is?
There is a sacredness to our lives--a
holiness, and that ephemeral quality of
holiness is revivified and polished to
glowing as we partake of the Meal that
gives us the spiritual energy to live
who we are. Let us pray for spiritual
energy for goodness in our lives this
week.
-Fr. Bill Axe
E
l Cuerpo y la Sangra de
Cristo son nuestra salvación.
La cena salvadora tiene su
propia fiesta. ¡Lo que me gustaría que
pensaran el día de hoy es sobre USTEDES MISMOS! Somos el Cuerpo de
Cristo, llegamos a ser lo que comemos.
Hemos consumido esta comida celestial
desde hace 2000 años, ¿creen que nos
hemos dado cuenta que eso es lo que somos y que somos lo que es? Hay algo
sagrado en nuestras vidas—una santidad, y esa calidad efímera de santidad es
revivificada y pulida mientras formamos
parte de la Cena que nos da la energía
espiritual de vivir quienes somos. Recemos por energía espiritual por la bondad
en nuestras vidas esta semana.
- Padre Bill Axe

To build and foster a Christian Community that
offers the opportunity to experience God
God’s
’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into
contact with it.

Construyendo y alimentando una comunidad cristiana que ofrezca la oportunidad de experimentar
el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a
todos con quienes nos encontremos.
L
he second reading today speaks so
clearly of who we are as Christians, united through the Body and
Blood of Christ. We have such a precious
gift from our God, one that allows us to
share in the life and love of our God. Let us
not take it for granted, but rather, let it guide
us in our actions and decisions.
a segunda lectura el día de hoy nos
habla muy claramente en quienes
somos como cristianos, unidos en el
Cuerpo y en la Sangra de Cristo. Tenemos este
regalo tan precioso de nuestro Dios, uno que
nos permite compartir con nuestras vidas y con
el amor de Dios. No lo tomemos en vano, más
bien, dejemos que nos guíe en nuestras acciones y decisiones.
The charisma of my community is "Sint
Unum", meaning we are all one. It is taken
from St. John's Gospel and speaks of this
unity we all share in Christ. I have seen this
unity here at St. Agatha's and it speaks to me
and urges me to continue to build us in that
unity. Let us strive to grow closer and
deeper as a community through the Body
and Blood of Christ.
La carisma de mi comunidad es, “Sint Unum,”
que quiere decir, “sean uno.” Este verso es tomado del Evangelio de San Juan y habla de la
unidad que compartimos con Cristo. He visto
esa unidad aquí en Santa Águeda y nos me
habla y me urge a que sigamos construyendo
esa unidad. Luchemos a que crezcamos más
cercas y más profundamente como una comunidad a través del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo.
Have a wonderful week,

How do I register my child for Confirmation?
Registre a su hijo(a) a la Confirmación
If your child is attending high school and will start

begin the confirmation program with us. The first step
is for the parent to speak with his/her child and help
him/her decide if he/she is ready to commit to begin
the confirmation process. As a parent, you must also
decide if you are willing and able to support and
guide your child through the confirmation process, as well
as comply with all the requirements asked of you and
your child for the confirmation program.
Once you have both made a mutual decision, make an
appointment with the Office of Faith Formation.
Please call: (323) 933-0963
Si su hijo(a) está en los años escolares 10 al 12, él o
ella está listo(a) para entrar con nosotros al programa

Confirmación. Y usted padre/madre de familia tiene
que decidir si está dispuesto(a) a apoyar y cumplir
con todos los requisitos que el programa de Confirmación
exige.
