Agradecimiento “Que agradecido estoy por la confianza que hubo en mi al designarme para su servicio”. 1Tim 1,12 Quiero dar Gracias a Dios, a la congregación de Misioneras del Santisimo por fiarse de mi al haberme enviado a trabajar en esta comunidad parroquial con mucha vida apostólica, que a traves de estos catorce años la he visto crecer en todos los sentidos. De igual manera muchas gracias al Padre Jerry, Padre Jim y Padre Fabio, por su entrega, y porque trabajamos en armonía al servicio de todos para el bien de la parroquia y la iglesia. Solo somos instrumentos en las manos de Dios. Mas que dar y server recibi y aprendi mucho de todos, con los cuales me relacione y trabaje en esta parroquia.
Me llevo un grato recuerdo de todos. A todos los llevare en mi corazón y los tender presente en mis pobres oraciones.
Que el Señor rico en misericordia los bendiga siempre.
Los quiere Hermana Januaria
Thank you “I am grateful for considering me trustwor-thy in appointing me to your service”. 1 Tim 1,12 I would like to give thanks to God, the Con-gregation of the Missionaries of the Blessed Sacrament for trusting in me to have sent me to work in this parish community of apostolic life, which of the fourteen years I have seen her grow in all aspects. In the same manner I give a big thank you to Fr. Jerry, Fr. Jim and Fr. Fabio for their giving and because we worked together in harmony for the service of all; for the good of the church and the parish. We alone are instruments in the hands of God. More than to give and serve, I learned much about everyone, in which I had a friendship and worked with in this parish.
I take with me a precious remembrance from all. I will take all of you in my heart and I will have you in my prayers.
May the great Lord of mercy bless you always.
Love Sr. Januaria

Gospel Acclamation
Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made; For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
(all bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Song of Praise (Saturday 5:00 pm Mass): Do You Know Your Shepherd’s Voice Refrain: Do you know your Shepherd’s voice? Are you list’ning with your heart? Have you stopped to hear him calling, felt the peace his words impart? (Final: Are you list’ning to your Shepherd?... Do you know your Shepherd’s voice?)
As the world shouts its orders that are easiest to hear, Won’t you draw away and listen to your Shepherd standing near?
Do you know your Shepherd’s voice? Are you list’ning with your heart? Have you stopped to hear him calling, felt the peace his words impart? Are you list’ning?
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters and he restores my soul!

Aclamación del Evangelio (Aleluya…)
Credo Niceno Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros, los hombres, y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo,
Todos se inclinan: y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato, padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo vendrá con gloria, para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

Death XXIII Ashes or “cremains” as they are called are intended by the Church to be placed after the Mass into a niche at a cemetery or mausoleum. In all events they are never to be scattered, or worse taken home and placed on the mantle, a practice that has developed recently which is completely forbidden by the Catholic church. Because we believe in the resurrection of the body, we reverence the remains, whether they be a full body burial, or ashes. I know that people say they would like their ashes to be scattered over their favorite spot, but when you have done that, those who remain have nowhere to go to honor you. One of the reflections from death camp survivors after the Holocaust was that they had nowhere to visit, as the Nazis dumped the ashes of the Jews and others into the river. For better or worse having a grave or a niche to visit humanizes those who remain. We can go to a place to remember them and offer a prayer. What would have happened had they cremated Jesus’ body after his death on the cross, and then scattered the ashes? Of course God could raise him from whatever condition, but the strong tradition of the “empty tomb” would have been meaningless. Because we are in Christ and await the resurrection of our own bodies, the church has always buried and then kept sacred the burial place. You can go even today to the catacombs outside Rome to see the burial places of those ancient first Chris-tians We too participate in this holy tradition. IHM Pray for us. Fr. Jerry
Sobre la Muerte XXIII Las cenizas después de la Misa son colocados en un nicho, en un cementerio o mausoleo. En todos casos nunca se desparrama, o peor llevado a casa y colocado en el manto. Aquí es una práctica que se ha desarrollado recientemente que está totalmente prohibida por la iglesia católica. Porque creemos en la resurrección del cuerpo, nosotros reverencia los restos, y se trata de un entierro de cuer-po completo o cenizas. Sé que dicen personas que quieren que sus cenizas sean desparramados sobre su lugar favorito, pero cuando lo haga que los que se quedan no tienen donde acudir para honrarlo. Una de las reflexiones de sobrevivientes campamentos de muer-te después del holocausto fue que tenían ningún lugar para visitar, como los Nazis dejaron las cenizas de los judíos y otros en el rio. Sea mejor o peor tener una tumba o nicho para visitar humaniza a aquellos que permanecen. Podemos ir a un lugar para recordar y ofrecer una oración. ¿Qué habría pasado si habían incinerado el cuerpo de Jesús después de su muerte en la Cruz y luego desparra-mado las cenizas? Por supuesto Dios podía resucitarlo del cualquier condición, pero la fuerte tradición de la “tumba vacía” habría sido sin sentido. Porque estamos en Cristo y esperamos la resurrección de nuestros cuerpos, la iglesia ha siempre enterrado y luego guardado sagradas el lugar del entierro. Incluso hoy en día puedes ir a las catacumbas de Roma para ver las sepulturas de los prime-ros cristianos antiguos. También participamos en esta tradición sagrada.
