From the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Each year since the beginning of the 1900’s there
has been an annual octave of Prayer for Christian
Unity. This Sunday is designated as “Ecumenical
Sunday.” It is a reminder to the whole Christian
family to pray to Jesus to take away from us the
scourge of our divisions as Christians. It is a scandal that we are separated from one another since
Christ established one church and prayed fervently
the night before He died for the unity of the
Church. He knew that Satan who always seeks to
divide would try over and over again to bring dissension within the household of the church. And
even from the earliest years of the church Satan did
his work of trying to introduce false doctrines and
confusion into the teaching of the church. He is a
constant menace and since the 1500’s was successful in creating deep divisions within the Christian
ranks. Those who protested against certain teachings of the Catholic Church became known as
“protestants.” Each year there are even more divisions within the ranks of protestants so that now
there are upwards of 40,000 different sects within
Protestantism. It will only be through God’s grace
that healing and unity can come to the Church. The
Catholic Church is like a good mother who always
seeks to unite her family. That is why we as Catholics cannot be satisfied with the status quo but must
always pray and work actively to bring all Christians together into one, holy, Catholic and apostolic
Church. The Catholic Church was founded by
Christ upon the faith of the Apostles and will continue until the end of time but we must invite our
separated brothers and sisters to return to their
mother. Let us offer our Mass this Sunday for that
intention. The week of prayer for Christian Unity
started January 18th and will conclude tomorrow,
on the Feast of the conversion of St. Paul the Apostle. Since St. Paul is one of our heavenly patrons it
would be good to remember his Feast day
January 24, 2016
tomorrow even if we cannot come to the 7:00 a.m.
or 8:30 a.m. Mass.
St. Toribio Chapel
Some of you have undoubtedly seen the interior of
the St. Toribio Chapel by now. It is almost completed. When the new tabernacle arrives from Italy
and the altar cloths are made and the altar itself is
completed and the image of St. Toribio installed
above the altar and the holy monogram of Jesus is
placed in the highest space above the altar we
should be ready for the blessing!! Maybe by the
time you read this letter some of those things will
have been put in place. The blessing is still scheduled for Thursday, February 25th at 5:00 p.m. All
are welcome to attend the special Mass with
Bishop Slattery and Bishop Flores and the reception afterwards. But, we still have to find more
money because as of 1-7-16 we still owe
$76,655.00. One or two thousand comes in almost
every week and I would hope that we continue to
donate until it is paid for completely. It will be a
huge burden lifted from my mind when it is finished because it has been a struggle to get the
chapel constructed as you know. So be generous
please and let’s keep giving until the bill is paid.
The chapel will be a place of constant prayer if we
are able to get perpetual adoration started. I have
invited a priest from Columbia to come and help us
organize perpetual adoration. He will be here the
week of March 5th through the 12th. Details of his
visit and of the Masses etc. will be coming and so
please keep reading the bulletin so you’ll know
what is going on with regard to Father’s visit. His
name is Father Jose del Carmen. Let us keep him
in our prayers as he is undoubtedly under attack
from our Enemy because of the great work that he
is doing for God. If all goes as hoped we will initiate perpetual adoration on Divine Mercy Sunday
which will be April 3rd. It was 12 years ago that
we first initiated weekly confessions during the
week and started some of the adoration hours.
Ash Wednesday
Let us prepare for the beginning of Lent which
falls on Wednesday, February 10th. Lent comes
early this year. Our Mass schedule for Ash
Wednesday will be 6:30 a.m. Latin Low Mass/,
8:30 a.m. School Mass/, 10:30 a.m. Latin sung
Mass/, 5:30 p.m. English Mass/, 7:00 p.m Spanish
Mass and 8:30 p.m. Spanish Service with distribution of ashes. Ash Wednesday is a day of prayer
and fasting. Adults aged 18-59 inclusive are bound
to the law of the fast. On the days of Fast only one
meal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient to maintain strength may be taken according
to one’s needs, but together they should not equal
another full meal. Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are observed as days of abstinence as well as
fast. Eating between meals is not permitted, but
liquids, including milk and fruit juices are permitted. Abstinence from meat is to be observed by
those 14 years of age and older on Ash Wednesday and on all Fridays of Lent.
Fridays of Lent
This year English Stations of the Cross will begin
at 5:30 p.m. on all Fridays of Lent except Good
Friday which has a special schedule. The simple
Lenten dinner will begin at 6:00 p.m. Donations
are accepted for the poor. At 7:00 p.m. Spanish
Stations of the Cross will be held. Parish groups
are responsible for the Lenten dinners and all are
welcome to attend. Fridays are days of abstinence
for anyone 14 years of age and older. The first Friday of Lent is February 12th.
The Sisters from El Salvador
Three sisters have been selected from the Hijas del
Divino Salvador from El Salvador and they are in
the process of getting their religious work visas.
This process takes some time but they are hopeful
that very soon they’ll be here to begin their work
in our parish. Please pray that all goes well for
them in this process. Their convent is ready whenever they arrive.
Thank you for your attention to these happenings
around the parish and for your involvement in the
life of our community. God bless each of you.
Sincerely yours,
Father Timothy Davison

Sacrament of Penance and
Reconciliation: God is Rich in Mercy
An Examination of Conscience
How do you train your conscience? God’s
Word has provided us with the Ten Commandments for examining our consciences, as well as
the Sermon on the Mount (see Mt 5-7)., The Duties
of Christians ( Rom 12-15), and St. Pauls’ Hymn to
Love (1 Cor 13).
Using the Ten Commandments to
Examine Your Conscience
5. You Shall not Kill
You shall shun murder, scandal,
hatred, and vindictive anger. Jesus asks you to be
for life. Vindictive anger, hatred, and scandal tempt
us to be against life. Abortion, murder and other
forms of violence require us to respond by affirming life. What has been your attitude to the sanctity of life?
Prayer Intentions of Pope Francis
January
Universal: That sincere dialogue
among men and women of different
faiths may produce the fruits of peace
and justice.
Evangelization: That by means of dialogue and
fraternal charity, and with the grace of the Holy
Spirit, Christians may overcome divisions.
The University of Oklahoma
College of Medicine
Dr, Frances Wen at OU is conducting a study concerning why seniors who might be having trouble
living independently refuse in-home services that
could help them. The study is funded through a National Institutes of Health grant titled: “When They
Say No: Older Adults’ Perspective of Home-andCommunity-Based Services”. We would like to
offer seniors who are 65 or older and who have had
to consider using these services an opportunity to
participate in this study. We offer compensation for
participants’ time and travel. Please contact Samuel Kirzner, Research Assistant at 918- 619-4754

Del Párroco:
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Semana de Oración por la Unidad Cristiana
Cada año desde el comienzo de los años 1900 ha
tenido lugar una octava de Oración por la Unidad
Cristiana. Este domingo es designado el “Domingo
Ecuménico”. Es un recordatorio a toda la familia
cristiana a rezar a Jesús a quitar de nosotros el mal
de la división entre cristianos. Es un escándalo que
estamos separados, como Cristo estableció una
Iglesia y rezo con fervor la noche antes de su
muerte por la unidad de la Iglesia. El sabia que Satanás, quien siempre trata de dividirnos trataría una
y otra vez a traer disensión en la casa de la Iglesia.
Desde los primero años de la Iglesia Satanás hizo
su trabajo tratando de introducir doctrinas falsas y
confusión a las enseñanzas de la Iglesia. El es una
amenaza constante y desde los años de 1500 ha
tenido éxito en produciendo divisiones profundas
en el pueblo cristiano. Aquellos que protestaron
ciertas enseñanzas llegaron a ser conocidos como
“Protestantes”. Cada año hay más divisiones entre
las filas de los protestantes y hoy en día existen
unos 40,000 diferentes grupos de protestantes. La
sanación y la unidad vendrán a la Iglesia solamente
a través de la gracia de Dios. La Iglesia Católica es
como una madre que siempre trata de unir su familia. Por eso nosotros como católicos no podemos
estar satisfechos con el statu quo pero debemos
siempre orar y trabajar activamente a unir todos los
cristianos en una, santa, católica y apostólica Iglesia. La Iglesia Católica fue establecida por Cristo
sobre la fe de los Apóstoles y continuara hasta el
fin de tiempo pero necesitamos invitar a nuestros
hermanos y hermanas separados a regresar a su
madre. Ofrecemos la Misa este domingo por esa
intención. La semana de Oración por la Unidad
Cristiana comenzó el 18 de enero y terminara mañana, la Fiesta de la Conversión de San Pablo el
Apóstol. Como San Pablo es uno de nuestros santos patrones seria bueno recordar su Fiesta mañana
aunque tal vez no podemos asistir a la Misa de las
7:00 a.m. o de las 8:30 a.m.
El Santuario de Santo Toribio
Algunos de ustedes sin duda han visto el interior
de la capillita. Esta casi completa. Estaremos listos
por la bendición cuando llega el altar de Italia, las
telas del altar están hechas, y cuando el santo monograma de Jesús esta colocado en el sitio más alto
sobre el altar. Tal vez cuando leen esta carta algunos de esos proyectos ya tendrán lugar. La bendición esta programada para el 25 de febrero a las
5:00 p.m. Todos están invitados a asistir a la Misa
especial que estará ofrecida por el Obispo Slattery
y el Obispo Flores y al convivio después. Pero,
todavía nos falta fondos. Debemos $76,655.00.
Recibimos unos un o dos mil cada semana en donaciones y ojala que siguen donando hasta que
hemos pagado todo. Eso será una carga muy pesada levantada de mi mente cuando este proyecto
esta cumplido como ha sido una lucha enorme como ustedes sepan. Así que favor siguen donando
generosamente. La capilla será un lugar de oración
continua si podemos establecer adoración perpetua. He invitado un cura de Colombia a venir a
ayudarnos a organizar esta adoración perpetua. El
quedara con nosotros del 5 al 12 de marzo. Favor
continuar leyendo el boletín para los detalles de su
visita. Se llama Padre José del Carmen. Oremos
por él como seguramente esta bajo ataque del Enemigo a causa del trabajo tan importante que él
hace por Dios. Si tenemos éxito iniciaremos adoración perpetua el Domingo de la divina Misericordia que es el 3 de abril. Hace 12 años que iniciábamos confesiones entre semana y empezábamos
algunas de las horas de adoración.
Miércoles de Ceniza
Debemos prepararnos bien por el comienzo de
Cuaresma que cae miércoles, el 10 de febrero.
Cuaresma viene muy temprano este año. Nuestro
horario de Misas de Miércoles de Ceniza: 6:30
a.m. Misa en latín, 8:30 a.m. Misa en inglés con la
escuela, 10:30 a.m. Misa Solemne en latín, 7:00
pm Misa en español y 8:30 p.m. Servicio en español de distribución de cenizas. Miércoles de Ceniza es un día de orar y de ayunar. Adultos de edades 18-59 inclusive deben obedecer las reglas de
ayunar. Se permite solamente una comida completa. otras pequeñas “snacks” sin carne están permitidas para mantener salud. Miercoles de Ceniza y
Viernos Santo son observados como días de ayunar y de abstener. No se permite comer entre
comidas pero si se permite líquidos como leche y
jugos de fruta. Los con 14 años cumplidos deben
abstener de comer carne Miércoles de Ceniza y
todos los viernes durante Cuaresma.
Viernes durante Cuaresma
Este año la Vía Crucis en inglés tendrá lugar a las
5:30 pm todos los viernes de Cuaresma menos
Viernes Santo cuando hay un horario especial. La
cena de los pobres se llevara a cabo a las 6:00 p.m.
y se aceptara donaciones por los necesitados. La
Vía Crucis en español será a las 7:00 p.m. Los
grupos parroquianos son los encargados de las cenas y todos están invitados.
Hermanas de El Salvador
Tres hermanas han sido elegidas de las Hijas del
Divino Salvador en El Salvador y están en el proceso de obtener sus visas religiosas. Este proceso
toma tiempo pero esperan estar aquí pronto. Favor
oren por ellas. El convento ya esta listo para su
llegada.
Dios bendiga todos ustedes.
