LOVE OF ENEMY How can we love our enemies, turn the other cheek, or give

people the shirt off our back? And why should we? How far

will that get us? That is what Jesus said will get us far indeed.

We should treat enemies with the very kindness and mercy of

God, the way David and Abishai treated their enemy Saul,

the Lord’s anointed. We should refrain from judging them.

We should stop condemning them. We should forgive them.

We should give to them a generous measure. We should do

good to them. We should love them. James A. Wilde, PhD ©2000, OCP

WHAT IS THE LITURGY OF THE WORD? The main part of the Liturgy of the Word is made up of the readings from Sacred Scripture together with the chants occurring

between them. As for the Homily, the Profession of Faith, and the Universal Prayer, they develop and conclude it. For in the

readings, as explained by the Homily, God speaks to his people, opening up to them the mystery of redemption and salvation,

and offering spiritual nourishment; and Christ himself is present through his word in the midst of the faithful. By silence and

by singing, the people make this divine word their own, and affirm their adherence to it by means of the Profession of Faith;

finally, having been nourished by the Divine Word, the people pour out their petitions by means

of the Universal Prayer for the needs of the whole church and for the salvation of the whole

world.

Why do we have silence between the readings and after the homily?

The Liturgy of the Word is to be celebrated in such a way as to favor meditation, and so any kind

of haste such as hinders recollection is clearly to be avoided. In the course of it, brief periods of

silence are also appropriate, accommodated to the assembled congregation; by means of these,

under the action of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God may be grasped by the heart and a response

through prayer may be prepared. It may be appropriate to observe such periods of silence, for

example, before the Liturgy of the Word itself begins, after the First and Second Reading, and

lastly at the conclusion of the Homily. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM)

"Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken

down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with

which you measure will in return be measured out to you." - Lk 6:38

"But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back; then

your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to

the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." - Lk 6:35-36

you thought that was easy, can you name the elements of

each sacrament, what must be present for it to be a

sacrament? Which sacraments have you received? Are you

living up to those sacraments? These are questions we as

Catholics should be asking ourselves on a regular basis to

make sure we are following the intentions of Jesus. Lord

Jesus, make us more conscious of all of your sacraments.

Adult Religious Education classes continue for this school

year. Although the classes are required for parents and sponsors of First Communion and Confirmation candidates, we invite all parishioners to attend one or all of the units

offered. The classes are meant to enrich our spiritual lives, help

us understand and communicate the Catholic faith and aid us

in our spiritual growth. The cost of each unit is very minimal

(usually $5 to $10) and is determined by

the materials used.

UNIT FOUR: PHILIPPIANS: Life in

Christ by Tim Gray began on February

19th. This is the last opportunity for

parents and sponsors of First

JORNADA DE FE On Saturday March 2nd from 9:00AM—3:00PM Joel Hopko

will conduct a session on "The Church in New Mexico" for

Jornada de Fe. The session will be held at the Cristo Rey

Parish Center and will include a pot luck luncheon.

Monsignor Jerome Martinez y Alire has developed a national

recognition for his extensive knowledge and deeply personal

insights into the unique and colorful history of the Catholic

Church as it migrated from the 'Old World' and found

fertile ground in New Mexico. Joel will combine excerpts

from Monsignor Jerome's video presentation with a focused

discussion around the key issues he raises, including

especially "enculturation," that is how the Church's particular

blend of European cultures have affected its presentation

and assimilation in a non-European cultural environment

like New Mexico.

Joel is the coordinator for Jornada de Fe program, sponsored

by the Archdiocese and the Santa Fe deanery. He has an MA

in Theology and has been active in adult Catholic theological

education throughout the state for over 40 years.

Collection amounts for the weekend of February 16th and

17th were not available at time of publication. They will be

published in a future bulletin.
