Cuando se sigue la IGMR, las cosas parecen familiares de Iglesia a Iglesia y es por eso que podemos ir a Misa en cualquier parte del mundo y sentir que sabemos exactamente lo que está sucediendo, incluso si no entendemos el idioma: ‘… quiero repasar algunos puntos de nuestras prácticas litúrgicas que necesitan que los recordemos con un "recordatorio". El Credo – Todos deben hacer una inclinación profunda durante las palabras "y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarno de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre". (IGMR 137 & 275b) El Gran Amen hasta que termina la procesión de Comunión – Quedarnos de pie del Amen cantado después de la Oración Eucarística cuando el Sacerdote muestra ambos el Cáliz y las Hostias y canta o dice, "Por Cristo, con él y en él, a ti, Dios Padre omnipotente, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, … por los siglos de los siglos" hasta que todos han recibido la Comunión, la Preciosa Sangre ha sido consumida y el Santísimo ha sido colocado en el Sagrario. El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo – o El uso de los términos correctas en nuestro discurso e instrucciones, etc. – Como Católicos creemos y el Obispo nos recuerda, son el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo, no solamente pan y vino. o El Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo están presentes aún después de que hayamos terminado la Comunión y la Misa. Recordemos esto para siempre consumir reverentemente el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo y al tiempo de purificar las patenas y copas como tienen los pedazos y gotas que son todavía el Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo. La comunión de las Hostias consagradas en la Misa y sólo utilizando las Hostias del Sagrario al momento que se estén terminando las Hostias de esa Misa – Esto es para que "la Comunión quede más claramente como una participación en el sacrificio actual que se está celebrando" (IGMR 85). Esto es más un recordatorio para los Sacerdotes y los Ministros de la Comunión que ayudan a distribuir la Comunión a la asamblea. Hacer una inclinación de reverencia antes de recibir la Comunión y responder “Amen” – antes de recibir el Cuerpo y/o la Sangre de Cristo. Es preferido hacer la inclinación de reverencia al tiempo que la persona delante de usted ha recibido la Comunión y se ha movido de la línea. La respuesta al recibir la comunión es “Amen”. (IGRM 160 & 161) Silencio después de la Comunión - Puede sentarse o puede arrodillarse en oración privada después de que se ha completada la Comunión. Después de que el Santísimo ha sido colocado en el Sagrario, debe haber algunos momentos de silencio cuando cada persona puede sentarse o puede arrodillarse en la oración y en la acción de dar gracias. (IGRM 164) El Altar no debe ser utilizado como una "mesa común" para utilizar y colocar "materiales" en el en cualquier momento. Tenemos que recordar que aún cuando la Misa no es celebrada, el Altar es el signo del Sacrificio del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo y no debe ser utilizado para colocar papeles, los cuadernos, etc. especialmente durante ensayos ni presentaciones. Como un recordatorio de estos puntos y la reverencia, podemos recordar la declaración que el Obispo McGrath utiliza constantemente para enfocarnos en las acciones, las palabras, y los artículos que se utilizan durante la Misa: ¿"Si unos Marcianos aterrizaban y entraran a nuestra Iglesia Católica y observaran una de nuestra celebración de Misa, pensarían y comprenderían ellos que lo que celebramos es algo muy importante"? En Cristo, Padre Ernesto Orci Párroco Nota: Este articulo es una "repetición" de un artículo publicado en nuestro boletín el 29 de mayo de 2011 después de nuestra semana de estudio sobre la "Renovación de la Liturgia", con los sacerdotes, diáconos, seminaristas y Obispo McGrath. A medida que revisamos y evaluamos nuestras celebraciones de Misas aquí en la Parroquia Católica de San Lorenzo, Mártir, estaremos actualizando y refrescante nuestras prácticas como comunidad y para los ministros de la liturgia basados en la Instrucción General del Misal Romano (IGMR). October 13, 2013 - 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Page 2 RENEWAL OF THE LITURGY The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) is the general “flow” of the Liturgy for the whole universal Roman Catholic Church and Roman Rite. When the GIRM is followed, things look familiar from Church to Church and that is why we can go to Mass anywhere in the world and feel like we know exactly what is happening, even if we do not understand the spoken language: ‘ … I want to review some items that need our “refreshing” and a “reminder” based on liturgical practices: Creed – Everyone should make a profound bow during the words “and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.” (GIRM 137 & 275b) Great Amen through end of Communion procession – Please remain standing from the sung Amen after the Eucharistic Prayer when the Priest shows both the Chalice and Hosts singing or saying, “Through him, with him, in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, … forever and ever” until everyone has received Communion, the Precious Blood has been consumed, and the Blessed Sacrament has been placed in the Tabernacle. Body and Blood of Christ o Usage of the correct words in our speech and instructions, etc. – As we Catholics believe and the Bishop reminded us, they are the Body and Blood of Christ not just bread and wine. o The Body and Blood of Christ are present even after we have finished Communion and Mass. We are reminded to always reverently consume and purify the vessels since the particles and drops are still the Body and Blood of Christ. Communion from the Hosts Consecrated at the Mass and only using from the Tabernacle when running out of Hosts – This is so that “Communion will stand out more clearly as a participation in the sacrifice actually being celebrated” (GIRM 85). This is more a reminder for the Priests and the Communion Ministers who Communion to the assembly. help distribute Making a reverent bow before receiving Communion and then responding “Amen” – Both before receiving the Body and/or the Blood of Christ. It is preferred that you make the reverent bow as the person in front of you has finished receiving Communion and has moved. When receiving Communion, the response to the words, “The Body of Christ” and “The Blood of Christ”, is “Amen”. (GIRM 160 & 161) Silence After Communion – You can sit or kneel in silent prayer after Communion has been completed. After the Blessed Sacrament has been placed in the Tabernacle, there should be some moments of silence when each person can either sit or kneel in prayer and thanksgiving. (GIRM 164) Altar - The Altar is not to be used as a “common table” to use and place “stuff” on it at anytime. We have to remember that even when Mass is not being celebrated, the Altar is the sign of the Sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ and should not be used to place papers, notebooks, etc. especially during rehearsals or presentations. As a reminder of these items and general reverence, we can remember that Bishop McGrath constantly uses the following statement as the way to focus on the actions, words, and items used during the Mass: “If Martians landed and entered our Catholic Church and saw a Mass being celebrated, would they think and understand what we were doing was important?” In Christ, Fr. Ernesto Orci Pastor Note: This is a “rerun” of an article printed in our bulletin back on May 29, 2011 after our study week on the “Renewal of the Liturgy” with the priests, deacons, seminarians, and Bishop McGrath. As we review and evaluate our Mass celebrations here at St. Lawrence the Martyr Catholic Parish, we will be updating and refreshing our practices as a community and for the liturgical ministers based on the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM).

Starting at 2 Kings 5:1 we learn that Naaman is an esteemed and respected commander of the king of Aram. A new servant in his household, a girl whom the Arameans had captured from Israel’s land, wanted Naaman to present himself to the prophet in Samaria, who would cure him of his leprosy. Naaman speaks to the king of Aram, who provides a letter for the king of Israel, attesting to the desire for a cure. By: Jim Balquist If Pope Benedict were to comment, he would note again that this type of situation is unjust and leads to frustration and a loss of dignity, which in turn leads to social unrest, which in turn can lead to violence and worse. Pope Francis would concentrate on the relationship of capitalism as the cause of income inequality which, in turn, leads to poverty, which, in turn again, leads to a denial of dignity and fundamental human rights such as food, shelter, adequate health care, education, etc. Reich concentrates on the fact that the middle class can only buy so many jeans, pillows, autos, and houses. If they continue to get smaller, the economic engine that powers the nation will sputter and stall. The wealthier “invest”. They buy a second home so that the “entry price” for first-time buyers becomes unaffordable. They exert political influence to “get rid of the homeless and the poor because they are ‘bad for business’”. They work to increase their political influence by developing laws and cultures to de facto exclude minorities, students, and the elderly from their constitutional right to vote (because they might vote the “wrong way”). And Pope Francis, who “sees” the limitations of capitalism in these situations, would say that this situation will continue and get worse if we continue to de facto support our culture of indifference to the poor. Open our eyes, Lord, and let our faith guide our actions. By: Deborah Ferry The king of Israel, however, responds derisively. The prophet Elisha somehow finds out about the encounter and sends word to the king to send Naaman to him. Naaman, along with his cohort, arrives at the door of Elisha’s house. At the doorstep, Naaman receives the message from the prophet to go and wash seven times in the Jordan and his flesh will be healed. But Naaman balks, disappointed that the prophet himself did not come out to greet him, invoke the Lord’s name, and lay hands on him. Naaman’s anger leads him to turn away from Elisha’s home. He concludes that the God of Israel is no better than any other god. Naaman’s disappointment, however, is not the end of the story. His servants intervene and help him to think logically about the situation, ultimately convincing him to follow through on the simple act of washing in the Jordan. This is the point at which today’s First Reading begins. The focus of the reading is not so much Naaman’s cure, but his confession of faith. Elisha’s refusal of Naaman’s gift in thanksgiving for the cure is also a confession of faith. It shows that those who serve the Lord are not in need of material gifts, because their life comes from the Lord God and is true gift itself. At the end of the reading, Naaman requests two mule -loads of earth so that he can continue to worship God in his homeland.

Saint Lawrence Middle School Drops Eggs for S.T.E.M. Class Goal: Move a marble across the science lab on a fishing wire using a limited amount of resources. Goal: Build a twentyfour inch bridge from two pounds of pasta that supports forty pounds of weight. Goal: Create a device that will keep an egg intact a er it’s dropped from a height of 30-50 feet. The Saint Lawrence Middle School new Elec ve Program offers nearly twenty courses that provide academic, crea ve, technological and personal growth op ons for the middle school student. One is a lab course covering Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathema cs, known as S.T.E.M., which uses twenty-first century skills to develop, design, and analyze projects over the course of the year. For the egg drop project, students used readily available packing material brought from home to swaddle a raw egg in a shoe box and then sealed the box in such a way that it would withstand the drop but s ll be able to be opened. Assistant Principal and S.T.E.M. teacher Adrian Gardner then took the boxes up to a height of about 40 feet in a li , and gleefully tossed them to the blacktop. When the students took their boxes back to the lab, all but two were intact, a higher than usual success rate for a project. “Many mes in designing a project the students will be more unsuccessful than successful in their ini al designs,” commented Mr. Gardner. “We want students to learn from the failures and see them as a step to success.” This class facilitates thinking, analysis, ar cula on and problem solving—all part of the new California Common Core curriculum.
