Dear family,

This weekend is one of the most beautiful celebrations of

the whole year, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and

Blood of Christ. As I write this, looking forward to the

Steubenville Conference in Denver in which our youth will

participate, I hope and pray even now that they be ever

more touched by the Eucharistic Lord Jesus, especially in

adoration and communion. Please say a prayer for us as

well.

There is no surer way to foster boundless growth in our

relationship and love for God than to do all that we can to

grow in our right relationship with the Most Holy Eucha-

rist, such as going to daily Mass when possible and also

spending time with Him, in His presence, as often as possi-

ble. On the contrary, there is no surer way to severely im-

pede and limit our relationship with God than to stay

away from the Eucharist when we easily could make more

effort to incorporate into our life those opportunities to

receive our Lord and be in His presence, or to receive un-

worthily and inappropriately the Most Blessed Sacrament

in a state of unconfessed mortal sin.

The Eucharist is a profound mystery which invites us to

great faith. Even though this is one of the most joyous

celebrations we get to be a part of with our God, we also

know that many people do not believe the Eucharist is

God! How sad! How sad! How painfully sad! Even worse

is this among those who claim to be Catholic! If you don’t

believe that the Eucharist is God, then you don’t believe a

necessary and irrevocable dogma of our faith that must be

believed in order to be Catholic and in good standing with

the Church. As I’ve said before, we cannot deny neces-

sary truths of our faith and still consider ourselves Catho-

lic. To deny the Church’s teaching on faith or morals is to

separate ourselves from the body of Christ. No matter

how much we might “think” ourselves or “feel” ourselves

united to Christ, denying those truths divinely revealed by

God Himself puts us in a state of certain spiritual separa-

tion from Christ.

The Mass prayers and sequence this weekend come from

St. Thomas Aquinas and are some of the most beautiful

prayers that the Church prays. Call upon God to help you

grow in faith in this most holy Sacrament. No one can

make you believe it, as we saw Jesus permit followers to

leave Him because of this. No one can prevent you from

believing it. How amazing the freedom God gave

us. Please find also as an insert in this bulletin some beau-

tiful prayers from St. Thomas Aquinas that I like to pray

before and after Mass in the sacristy. May you benefit

from the wonderful truths and petitions contained therein

by praying them also.

I hope and pray that you have a blessed week,

Fr. Sáenz

Querida familia,

Este fin de semana es una de las celebraciones más hermo-sas de todo el año, la solemnidad del Santísimo Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Mientras escribo esto, esperando la Con-ferencia Steubenville en Denver, en la que participarán nuestros jóvenes, espero y oro incluso ahora para que el Señor Eucarístico Jesús los toque cada vez más, especial-mente en la adoración y la comunión. Por favor digan una oración por nosotros también.

No hay una manera más segura de fomentar el crecimiento ilimitado en nuestra relación y el amor por Dios que hacer todo lo posible para crecer en nuestra relación correcta con la Santísima Eucaristía, como asistir a la misa diaria cuan-do sea posible y también pasar tiempo con Él en su presen-cia, tan a menudo como sea posible. Por el contrario, no hay una manera más segura de impedir y limitar severa-mente nuestra relación con Dios que mantenernos alejados de la Eucaristía cuando fácilmente podemos hacer un ma-yor esfuerzo para incorporar en nuestra vida las oportuni-dades de recibir a nuestro Señor y estar en Su presencia, o recibir indignamente e inapropiadamente el Santísimo Sa-cramento en un estado de pecado mortal no confesado.

La Eucaristía es un profundo misterio que nos invita a la gran fe. A pesar de que esta es una de las celebraciones más alegres, también sabemos que muchas personas no creen que la Eucaristía es Dios. ¡Qué triste! ¡Qué triste! ¡Qué do-lorosamente triste! ¡Peor aún es esto entre los que dicen ser católicos! Si no crees que la Eucaristía es Dios, entonces no crees un dogma necesario e irrevocable de nuestra fe que deba ser creído para ser católico y estar en buen estado con la Iglesia. Como he dicho antes, no podemos negar las ver-dades necesarias de nuestra fe y aún nos consideramos católicos. Negar la enseñanza de la Iglesia sobre cosas de fe o la vida moral es separarnos del cuerpo de Cristo. No im-porta cuánto podamos "pensar" o "sentirnos" unidos a Cristo, negar esas verdades divinamente reveladas por Dios mismo nos pone en un estado de cierta separación espiritual de Cristo.

Las oraciones y la secuencia de la Misa de este fin de sema-na provienen de Santo Tomás de Aquino y son algunas de las oraciones más hermosas que reza la Iglesia. Pide a Dios que te ayude a crecer en la fe en este Santísimo Sacramen-to. Nadie puede hacer que lo creas, ya que vimos a Jesús permitir que sus seguidores lo dejaran por esto. Nadie pue-de impedirte que lo creas. Qué asombrosa la libertad que Dios nos da. Por favor encuentre también en este boletín, algunas hermosas oraciones de Santo Tomás de Aquino que me gusta rezar antes y después de la misa en la sacristía. Orándolas también ustedes, que les sirvan como beneficio esas maravillosas verdades y peticiones contenidas en ellas.

Espero y rezo para que tengan una semana bendita,

Fr. Sáenz
