God Answers Our Prayers!
When we pray, is God listening? Of course He is. God knows when we pray, and He
knows everything about us. He knows more about us than we know about ourselves,
the good and the bad. And He loves us and cares for us. These are truths we can
count on.
We have several things to pray for now. First, we must pray for our nation and our
Church. We’ve all seen the headlines, we’ve heard the news and we’ve seen it on

television. It seems like there’s a shooting a week. We wonder where the terrorists will
strike next. People are frightened and confused. Stress levels are high and getting First Reading — Abraham
higher. We wonder if it’s safe to go out of our homes. We wonder if it’s safe to stay in bargains with God to spare
our homes.
the city (Genesis 18:20-32).
We belong to the Lord and to His Church. We know that the Church and her members
have been through even tougher times than these. In other parts of the world right now,
Christians are suffering tremendous persecution. But Jesus promised that the gates of
hell will not prevail against His Church. We need to pray to the Lord, and to trust in Him
even in dark times. This too shall pass.

Church, a Church that is faithful to her Lord.
Thirdly, for us here at Notre Dame, it’s time to begin thinking about Festival. It’s about
eight weeks away, and those weeks will fly by. Pretty soon school will be starting again,
and about a month after that is Festival. This will be my first Festival here at Notre
Dame, but most of you have already been many times over the years. So please pray
for this year’s Festival, for all who work so hard to organize it, all who work at the
Festival, and for all who support the Festival with their contributions. Let’s all pray and
make this year’s Festival a great success!
Blessings!

¡Dios contesta nuestras oraciones!
Cuando oramos, ¿Dios nos escucha? Claro que sí. Dios sabe cuando oramos, y Él sabe
todo sobre nosotros. Él sabe más de nosotros que de lo que sabemos de nosotros
mismos, lo bueno y lo malo. Y Él nos ama y nos cuida. Estas son verdades con las que
podemos contar.
Tenemos varias cosas por las que debemos orar hoy. En primer lugar, debemos orar por
nuestra nación y nuestra Iglesia. Todos hemos visto los titulares, hemos escuchado las
noticias y lo hemos visto en la televisión. Parece como si cada semana hubiera tiroteos.
Nos preguntamos donde será el próximo golpe de los terroristas. La gente tiene miedo y
está confundida. Los niveles de estrés son altos y cada vez más. Nos preguntamos si es
seguro salir de nuestros hogares. Nos preguntamos si es seguro permanecer en nuestras
casas.
Pertenecemos al Señor y a su Iglesia. Sabemos que la Iglesia y sus miembros han
pasado por tiempos aún más difíciles que éstos. En otras partes del mundo en este
momento, los Cristianos están sufriendo una tremenda persecución. Pero Jesús prometió
que las puertas del infierno no prevalecerán contra su Iglesia. Tenemos que orar al Señor
y confiar en Él, incluso en tiempos oscuros. Esto también pasará.
En segundo lugar, todos tenemos que orar por la Campaña del Arzobispo Gustavo. El
Arzobispo y la Arquidiócesis necesitan ayuda. Nuestras Escuelas Católicas, el seminario y
nuestros seminaristas, Sacerdotes retirados, edificios parroquiales y otras áreas necesitan
de nuestra ayuda. La Arquidiócesis de San Antonio está creciendo. Está creciendo tanto
que el Arzobispo Gustavo necesita abrir más parroquias. Necesitamos más Sacerdotes.
Así que les pido a todos los feligreses de Notre Dame que oren por esta Campaña. Sé
que ya están dando a la Iglesia – y estoy agradecido por eso. Por favor, oren y disciernan
para saber de qué otra forma pueden ayudar, de manera que durante estos tiempos
difíciles, sepamos que tenemos una Iglesia fuerte y sólida, una Iglesia que es fiel a su
Señor.
En tercer lugar, para nosotros aquí en Notre Dame, es el momento de empezar a pensar
en el Festival. Estamos a ocho semanas y pasarán volando. Muy pronto la escuela
comenzará de nuevo, y un mes después será el Festival. Este será mi primer Festival
aquí en Notre Dame, pero la mayoría de ustedes ya han sido parte de esto a lo largo de
los años. Así que por favor oren por el Festival de este año, por todos los que trabajan
arduamente para organizarlo, todos los que trabajan en el Festival, y por todos los que
apoyan con sus contribuciones. ¡Oremos todos y hagamos del Festival de este año un
gran éxito!
¡Bendiciones!
En Jesús,
Padre David

RESUME IN SEPTEMBER
JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY –
December 8, 2015November 20, 2016
~~~The Face of Mercy
(Misericordiae Vultus)~~~
from Francis, Bishop of Rome
(Article 17 continuedY) “This sacrament
(Reconciliation) is a vital part of our Jubilee
year. I never tire of calling confessors to be
authentic signs of God’s love. We become such
a sign when we realize first and foremost our
own need for forgiveness and mercy. And let us
also reach out to those standing outside our
walls. Embrace them as the Father did his
prodigal son.”
Misericordes sicut Pater! (Be merciful, just as
your Father is merciful – Luke 6:36)

Francisco, Obispo de Roma
Artículo
17,

sacramento (Reconciliación) es una parte vital
de nuestro año jubilar. Nunca se cansan de
confesores llamando a ser auténticos signos del
amor de Dios. Nos convertimos en tal signo
cuando nos damos cuenta, ante todo, nuestra
propia necesidad de perdón y misericordia. Y
también hemos de alcanzar a los que estaban
fuera de nuestras paredes. Abrazarlos como el
Padre lo hizo su hijo pródigo”.

misericordiosos, como también vuestro
Padre es misericordioso – San Lucas 6:36)"

The Cup
By Paul Turner
La Copa
Por Paul Turner
Some of the newest words in the Mass are
addressed to communicants when they hear, “The
Blood of Christ.”
Most Catholics grew up receiving communion under
one form.
Many of them continue this practice
although the cup is offered on many more occasions.
The presentation of the cup has not yet been received
with the enthusiasm reserved for the Sacred Host.
Yet, the Order of Mass encourages us: “Holy
communion has a more complete form as a sign when
it is received under both kinds. For in this manner of
reception, a fuller light shines on the sign of the
eucharist banquet.
Moreover, there is a clearer
expression of that will by which the new and
everlasting covenant is ratified in the blood of the
Lord.”
At the beginning, of course, sharing the Body and
Blood of the Lord was common. Eucharist evolved
from the meal traditions of the people. Abstaining from
the cup would have been as strange as not taking any
drink with the evening meal.
During the middle ages, the sharing of the cup
became less frequent. When heretics began denying
the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, devotion
became stricter. People gradually felt unworthy to
receive communion and left that to the clergy. The fear
of spilling the cup, the simplicity of not offering it, and
the danger of spreading disease all contributed to the
practice of giving communion under one from only
when people chose to receive. Because we have
always believed Christ was present in the host as well
as the cup, people reasoned they did not need both for
the true experience of communion.
However, today we think twice about this minimalism.
Although Christ is truly present in either the bread or
the wine, a “fuller light shines on the eucharistic
banquet” when we take both.
When drinking from the cup, first say “Amen” to the
minister, in a sincere tone that reveals your faith in the
blood of Christ before you. Then receive the cup with
both hands, and take a drink. A good sip. Somewhere
between whetting the lips and swallowing hard. Enjoy
the full symbol of the eucharistic banquet with
reverence and delight.
Algunas de las más nuevas palabras en la Santa Misa
están dirigidas a los comulgantes cuando escuchan, "La
Sangre de Cristo."
La mayoría de los Católicos crecieron recibiendo la
comunión bajo una forma. Muchos de ellos siguen esta
práctica a pesar de que la copa se les ofrece en muchas
más ocasiones. La presentación de la copa aún no se ha
recibido con el entusiasmo que se recibe la Sagrada
Comunión.
Sin embargo, el Orden de la Santa Misa nos anima: "La
Santa Comunión tiene una forma más completa cuando
se recibe bajo las dos especies. Al recibirla de este
modo, una luz más plena brilla en el signo del Banquete
Eucarístico. Por otra parte, existe una clara expresión de
esa voluntad por la cual el nuevo y sempiterno convenio
se ratifica en la Sangre del Señor."
Al principio, por supuesto, compartir el Cuerpo y la
Sangre del Señor era común. La Eucaristía evolucionó a
partir de las tradiciones de la comida de las personas. La
abstinencia de la copa habría sido tan extraña como no
tomar ninguna bebida con la cena.
Durante la Edad Media, el compartir de la copa se hizo
menos frecuente. Cuando los herejes comenzaron a
discutir la presencia real de Cristo en la Eucaristía, la
devoción se hizo más estricta. La gente poco a poco se
sentía indigna de recibir la comunión y dejaron eso solo
al clero. El temor de derramar la copa, la simplicidad de
no ofrecerlo, y el peligro de propagación de
enfermedades, contribuyeron a la práctica de dar la
comunión bajo una sola especie. Porque siempre hemos
creído que Cristo está presente en la Hostia, así como en
la copa que contiene su Sangre, las personas pensaron
que no era necesario recibir las dos para tener una
verdadera experiencia de la comunión.
Sin embargo, hoy en día, pensamos dos veces antes
de este minimalismo. A pesar de que Cristo está
realmente presente, ya sea en el pan o el vino, una "luz
más plena brilla en el Banquete Eucarístico" cuando
tomamos ambos.
Antes de beber de la copa, se dice "Amén" al ministro,
en un tono sincero que revela tu fe en la Sangre de Cristo
que está ante ti. Después, toma la copa con las dos
manos, y bebe. Un buen sorbo. Disfruta del completo
Banquete Eucarístico con temor y deleite.

MISSION AWARENESS

Every year, the Mission Awareness Ministry

us about the needs in the Catholic Eparchy of Keren

there are people, the Church is called to reach out to

generous in listening to the needs of our brothers
and sisters there and in other parts of the world.

VINNIE’S ON BROADWAY NOTES FROM THE HEART
BooksToBorrow
The volunteers at St. Vincent de Paul on Broadway would
like to share with you our work that your donations and thrift
shop support make possible while keeping confidential the
identities of our brothers and sisters in need that we assist.
from the Notre Dame Parish Library
are available in the narthex of the
church, near the bell tower door. We
are adding to the library the books of
the People of God series from the
Liturgical Press. Each is less than
150 pages long, and gives a look at a
twentieth century Catholic.
The Numbers
Here are the April-May-June quarter stats. 98 volunteers
offered 6,222 hours of service. The thrift shop grossed
$54,853 in sales. Notre Dame second collection for the
entire quarter was $11,048, while San Antonio The Big Give
netted us $886.90.
We provided 4,489 people in 1,597 families with 24,445
meals.
Financial aid office assisted with utilities,
prescriptions, and other needs totaling $37,500. Also,
clothing and household goods vouchers were given for the
Thrift shop. Upkeep expenses coming from gross store
sales included replacing 1 of 6 AC units, a down payment to
replace the warehouse elevator, 1 of 2 cooler compressors,
and new doorknobs. As usual, $0 for salaries!
This was a good, that is slow, quarter for aid. July has
started with a large increase for need.
The People
We helped a woman fill out change of address forms. She
was moving to a smaller unit in her complex and still had to
do all the forms for mail, etc. We talked a single mom that
was between teaching jobs and had no summer income to
go visit Dad for a month.
We helped contribute to
assistance for a mother and child both having been
extremely abused and now returning home to the Hill
Country. We enjoyed a youngling that enthusiastically
fulfilled community service hours with us and has promised
to continue volunteering and since she is only 14, we
figure she has at least 70 more years.
A local charity has decided to require a 1040 or some other
income proof before offering assistance. We are keeping
our policy that a 2015 tax form does not show income for
July 2016. It also does not show large medical bills or car
repairs. If people come to us needing food, they are not
turned away. If people come to us not having a driver's
license, they are not turned away. Mostly we help with utility
bills. Name and address on the bill can be checked with our
records. We gently help our neighbors stay in the path God
wants them to take.
WISH LIST:
To spend an hour of service with us a week. We need things
like straightening the store, answering phones, greeting
people as they enter the store, and cleaning
donations. Also, new shelf signs made, for anyone with
artistry skills or computer programs.
Jean Vanier: Logician of the Heart,
by Michael W. Higgins
James Clarke calls this book
about the founder of L’Arche “an
eloquent and moving meditation on
what it means to be truly human in
a
‘throwaway’
culture
where
competition, corporate greed, and
inequality reign supreme. Vanier’s
work among the physically and
intellectually vulnerable reveals the
cost and joy of radical love.
By
emphasizing our common frailty and
the openness and capacity of the
disabled to allow Jesus to find repose
in their hearts – he challenges us to
enflesh tenderness in our own lives,
become ‘God’s refuge’ in a largely
uncaring world.”
Fans of Henri Nouwen will
especially enjoy chapter seven, “The
Marriage of Heaven and Hell: Vanier
and Nouwen”. And those who love to
learn more about Pope St. John Paul
II and Vatican II will get a kick out of
chapter six, “Vanier and Wojtyla”.
