Hope, Thanks, Hope...
Fr. René Butler, MS
Simeon’s prophecy to Mary must have seemed very strange to her.
What could he possibly mean by her being pierced with a sword? On
Good Friday surely she knew. Seeing Mary’s tears at La SaleƩe, we
understand it too.
At La SaleƩe we Įnd that Like the Gospel—the message of Our Lady
recognizes the reality of the blending of the “hard” and the “soŌ” of
our lives.
Life is not all “soŌ.” Life is not all “hard.” The farmers who found their
potatoes roƫng in the ground were rightly frustrated at the hardness
of their lives; their fault lay in their abuse of the name of Jesus, blaming God for their hardship.
The problem was that, when the harvests were good, they didn’t
think to give thanks to God.
Giving thanks looks to both past and future. This was wonderfully
well expressed by Dag Hammarskjold: “For all that has been—
Thanks. For all that will be—yes.”
The BeauƟful Lady wants for us to place ourselves trusƟngly in God’s
hands, through personal prayer and worshiping him with the ChrisƟan community. We do so not to “appease” the Lord but to seal our
relaƟonship with him as we say, “Thanks—Yes—Thanks…”
Esperanza, Gracias, Esperanza…
Padre René Butler, MS
La profecía de Simeón para María debe haber parecido muy extraña
para ella. ¿Qué podría signiĮcar para ella eso de que sería atravesada
por una espada? El Viernes Santo seguramente lo supo. Viendo las
lágrimas de María en La SaleƩe, nosotros también lo entendemos.
En La SaleƩe encontramos algo como en el evangelio - el mensaje de
Nuestra Señora reconoce la realidad de lo gris, podríamos hablar de
lo “áspero” y de lo “suave” de nuestras vidas.
La vida no es toda “suave”. La vida no es toda “dura”. Los agricultores
que encontraron las papas podridas en el suelo estaban frustrados y
con razón, debido a la dureza de sus vidas; su error estaba en el abuso
del nombre de Jesús, culpando a Dios. El problema era que cuando
las cosechas eran buenas, ellos no pensaban en dar gracias a Dios.
Dar gracias a Dios Ɵene que ver con el pasado y el futuro. Esto fue
maravillosamente expresado por Dag Hammarskjold: “Por todo lo
que fue – Gracias. Por todo lo que será – Sí”
La Bella Señora no quiere que nos pongamos con conĮanza en las
manos de Dios, yendo hacia El en la oración personal, adorándole
junto a la comunidad crisƟana. Lo hacemos no para “aplacar” al Señor
sino para sellar una relación personal con El, cuando decimos,
“Gracias – Sí – Gracias…”

Marriage Convalidation
St. Christopher Church would like to invite couples who
are civilly married or cohabiting to have their Marriage
Blessed. You will participate in a Marriage Convalidation
Ceremony in the Catholic Church… Convalidation
comes from a Latin word meaning “to firm up or “to
strengthen” A Convalidation is not merely a renewal
of vows made previously but is a new act of consent
by each spouse. This Convalidation of Marriage may
be celebrated within Mass. Your marriage then becomes sacramental and will be recorded in the Sacramental book of the Church.
Our Group Wedding is right around the corner. We have very little
time for interviews. This celebration will take place February 14, 2015
at 2pm. For more information, please contact Deacon Carlos Morales
at (951) 571-8350.

La Iglesia San Cristóbal quisiera invitar a las parejas que
viven en unión libre o que están casadas por lo civil y que les
gustaría que su matrimonio sea bendecido. Usted participará
en una ceremonia de Convalidación matrimonial en la Iglesia
Católica… Convalidación proviene de una palabra en Latín
que significa"afirmaro "fortalecer"
La Convalidación no es simplemente una renovación de
votos realizados anteriormente, sino es un nuevo acto de
consentimiento de cada uno de los cónyuges. Esta convalidación de Matrimonio es celebrada en la Misa. Su matrimonio se convertirá en sacramento y será registrado
en el libro de Sacramentos de la Iglesia.
Se Aproxima la Celebración de las Bodas Comunitarias. Tenemos muy
poco tiempo para hacer las entrevistas. Esta Celebración se llevara acabo
el 14 de febrero a las 2 pm. ¡Los esperamos! Por favor de comunicarse

anointing on the Catechumens. We began to reflect on the
Oil of Chrism which is used for the sacraments of Holy
Orders and Confirmation as well as its aromatic scent.
Today we reflect on the purpose of this fragrant
oil. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states
that “the anointing with sacred chrism, perfumed
OIL consecrated by the bishop, signifies the gift of
the HOLY Spirit to the newly baptized, who has
become a Christian, that is, one 'anointed' by the
HOLY Spirit, incorporated into Christ who is
anointed priest, prophet, and king."(no. 1241) When the
Bishop traces the sign of the cross on our forehead with
the oil of Chrism, he says: “Be sealed with the Holy Spirit….Peace be with you. This ritual means that we are
marked or branded forever as God’s beloved son/
daughter, participants in the priesthood of Christ and as
prophets and kings. It confirms our promises proclaimed
for us by our parents when we were baptized as infants
and those baptized as adults. Moreover it fulfills Jesus’
promise to his apostles that he would send his Holy Spirit
to guide and sanctify the Church (we are the church) —
giving her the gifts of understanding, counsel, wisdom,
reverence, courage, piety, and knowledge. We have become the fragrance of the Holy Spirit and such it is our
responsibility to spread it to everyone. (to be continued.)
======================================
Celebrating Mary at La Salette…
We have reflected so far on the meaning of the
roses in light of the mysteries of the holy rosary.
We will now reflect on the meaning of her tears.
Our reflection on the symbol of the roses that our
Mother at La Salette carried with her lead us to
reflect on the meaning of her tears in the mysteries
of her life with her Son and how these mysteries
speak to us in our own lives. These mysteries give
us the hope, the courage, the faith, the perseverance, the Light and the Truth to live the gift of life that
our loving God bestowed on us and which Mary of La
Salette exemplified to us. (to be continued,) Reflection
question: What is the meaning of tears in your life?
DOMUS DEI ... DOMUS ECCLESIAE
(Casa de Dios ... Casa de la Iglesia (pueblo de Dios)
La semana pasada hablamos acerca de los efectos del Rito
de la unción de los catecúmenos. Empezamos a reflexionar sobre el aceite de Crisma que se utiliza para los sacramentos de la Orden Sacerdotal y de la Confirmación, así
como su olor aromático. Hoy reflexionamos sobre el propósito de este perfume. El Catecismo de la Iglesia
Católica afirma que "la unción con el santo crisma,
óleo perfumado consagrada por el obispo, significa
el don del Espíritu Santo a los recién bautizados,
que se ha convertido en un cristiano, es decir, un"
ungido "por el Espíritu, incorporados a Cristo que
es ungido sacerdote, profeta y rey "(n. ° 1241)
Cuando el Obispo traza la señal de la cruz en la frente con
el aceite del Crisma, él dice:" Sean sellados con el Espíritu Santo ... .La paz este contigo”. Este ritual significa que
estamos marcados para siempre como amados hijos / hijas
de Dios, participes del sacerdocio de Cristo y como profetas y reyes. Esto confirma nuestras promesas proclamadas
por nosotros por nuestros padres cuando nos bautizamos
como bebés y los que fueron bautizados como adultos.
Además se cumple la promesa de Jesús a sus apóstoles
que enviaría su Espíritu Santo para guiar y santificar la
Iglesia (nosotros somos la iglesia) -dando ella los dones
de entendimiento, consejo, sabiduría, reverencia, valentia,
la piedad y el conocimiento. Nos hemos convertido en la
fragancia del Espíritu Santo y es nuestra responsabilidad
de difundir a todo el mundo. (Continuará.)
=========================================
Celebrando María en La Salette ...
Hemos reflexionado hasta ahora sobre el significado de
las rosas en luz de los misterios del santo rosario. Ahora
vamos a reflexionar sobre el sentido de sus lágrimas. Nuestra reflexión sobre el símbolo de las
rosas que nuestra Madre en La Salette llevó con
ella nos llevan a reflexionar sobre el significado
de sus lágrimas en los misterios de su vida con su
hijo y cómo estos misterios nos hablan en nuestras
propias vidas. Estos misterios nos dan la esperanza, el coraje, la fe, la perseverancia, la Luz y la
Verdad de vivir el don de la vida que nuestro Dios
amoroso ha impartido sobre nosotros y que María
de La Salette ejemplifica a nosotros. (Continuará), Pregunta Reflexión: ¿Cuál es el significado de las lágr imas en su propia vida?

When Jesus is presented in the
Temple, our Blessed Mother formally oīers him to God’s service
without reservaƟon. It is a service that Simeon propheƟcally
foretells: a service to God that
will turn the old laws and cultural
norms upside down. Are we desƟned to hold on to old habits and
customs Ɵghtly, or like Jesus, are
we willing to serve the Lord and
proclaim the Gospel in new and
creaƟve ways?

¿Estamos nosotros desƟnados a aferrarnos Įrmemente a viejos hábitos y costumbres, o como Jesús estamos dispuestos a servir al
