HELOTES, TEXAS
Grant, almighty God,
through the yearly observances of holy Lent,
that we may grow in understanding
of the riches hidden in Christ
and by worthy conduct pursue their effects.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
DISCOVER THE CHURCH AS INSTITUTION
You are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church,

From the Pastor’s Desk
We observe the Archbishop's Appeal this weekend
throughout the Archdiocese.
I ask all of our
households and families to please make a one time
donation or pledge a donation that came be paid off
in 10 monthly installments. This annual appeal really
does tremendous good in charitable projects,
educational, catechetical projects and sustains the
efforts of our Assumption Seminary and the retired
priests. Your donation helps so many good projects
in the Archdiocese of San Antonio. We had 660
families participate last year, I would like to reach a
goal of 1,000 families. We have over 6,000 families
on our parish roster.
Please help us meet our
Archbishop Appeal goal for this year.
God bless you, Father Carlos

THE NEW EVANGELIZATION
This week’s sharing: Confession Penance,
Reconciliation
Source: Catechism of the
Catholic Church
We commonly refer to the Sacrament of
Penance and Reconciliation by any of the words
above. Specifically, there are several actions that
take place.
“The sacrament of Penance is a whole consisting
in three actions of the penitent and the priest’s
absolution. The penitent’s acts are 1) repentance, 2)
confession or disclosure of sins to the priest, and the
3) intention to make reparation and do works of
reparation. …” (1491) “Individual, integral confession
and absolution remain the only ordinary way for the
faithful to reconcile themselves with God and the
Church …” (1484)
Therefore reconciliation with God and the Church
can only happen once one has confessed his/her
sins, received absolution and completed penance or
reparation. The outward sign is the absolution or
forgiveness we receive. The inward grace is the
reconciliation of the penitent to God.
All our sacraments were instituted by Christ,
himself. The gospel of John 20: 19, 22-23 tells us
about the institution of this sacrament when Christ
first appeared to the apostles after his resurrection:
“On the evening of that day, the first day of the
week,” Jesus showed himself to his apostles. “He
breathed on them, and said to them: ‘Receive the Holy
Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven;
if you retain the sins of any, they are
retained’” (1485)
When we sin, we deprive ourselves of the Lord’s
grace. After this sacrament, this grace is once again
restored.

LA NUEVA EVANGELIZACION
Compartimos esta semana: Confesión,
Perdón,
Reconciliación
Procedencia:
Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica
Frecuentemente,
nos
referimos
al
Sacramento de la Penitencia y de la reconciliación
con cualquier de estos nombres.
Específicamente, son varias, las cosas que
suceden. “El sacramento de la Penitencia está
constituido por el conjunto de tres actos realizados
por el penitente, y por la absolución del sacerdote.
Los actos del penitente son: el arrepentimiento, la
confesión o manifestación de los pecados al
sacerdote y el propósito de realizar la reparación y las
obras de penitencia.” (1491)
"La confesión
individual e íntegra y la absolución continúan
siendo el único modo ordinario para que los fieles
se reconcilien con Dios y la Iglesia…” (1484)
En otras palabras, la reconciliación con Dios y la
iglesia solamente se puede llevar a cabo cuando uno
has confesado sus pecados, ha recibido la
absolución del sacerdote, y ha completado la
penitencia. El signo exterior es la absolución o el
perdón que recibimos.
La gracia interior es la
reconciliación del penitente con Dios.
Todos los sacramentos fueron instituidos por el
mismo Cristo. El evangelio de Juan (Jn 20, 22-23)
nos cuenta de la institución de este sacramento
cuando Cristo se apareció por primera vez después
de su resurrección:
“En la tarde de Pascua, el Señor Jesús se mostró
a sus Apóstoles y les dijo: "Recibid el Espíritu Santo.
A quienes perdonéis los pecados, les quedan
perdonados; a quienes se los retengáis, les quedan
retenidos" (1485)
Cuando pecamos, nos depravemos de la gracia de
Nuestro Señor. Después de recibir el sacramento
volvemos a nuestro estado de gracia.
