A Letter from Our Dear Parishioners, Get out your reading glasses ... or magnifying glasses! We had to shrink the print to get all this important information on one page. As we know from the previous letter, whenever we invite a non-Catholic or a fallen-away Catholic to Mass, we must explain to them what proper reception of Holy Communion entails. The restriction of Holy Communion to Catholics who are in a state of grace is essential for their soul and for proper reverence toward Jesus Christ. In this letter, I offer several important sources to help you understand why addressing this issue with your guest is so critical. Let’s begin with a key excerpt from St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians:

Whoever ... eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. (1 Cor 11:27-29)

The Bread of Life is actually dangerous to the soul who receives it “in an unworthy manner” (i.e. in a state of mortal sin). To illustrate, consider the antibiotic penicillin. For many, penicillin is very effective in treating bacterial infections. For someone like me, however, who has a terrible reaction to this particular drug, it can make things much worse. In like manner, the Holy Eucharist is a powerful help to the soul who receives our Lord worthily, but to the soul who forces the Body of Christ into a body and soul mired in mortal sin, it can kill our relationship with the Lord—much like filling a guest room in your home with rotting garbage and making Jesus sleep there. Around the year 153 A.D.—a mere 50 year or so after the Gospel of John was written—St. Justin Martyr wrote of the Catholic doctrine of the Holy Eucharist:

And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined.

St. Justin enumerates three requirements. First, the person must believe all that the Catholic Church teaches. Secondly, the person must be a baptized Christian who fulfills the first condition and who has publicly professed that Catholic faith (as baptized converts from Protestantism do at the Easter Vigil). Finally, the person must be “living as Christ has enjoined”—i.e. in a state of grace with no known mortal sin. Finally, in many Catholic parishes, you will find this kind of explanation in missalettes regarding Holy Communion:

Reception of Holy Communion is open to Catholics in a state of grace (not conscious of any mortal sin), who have fasted for at least one hour prior to reception. (Water and medicine do not break the fast. The elderly and those who are sick as well as those who care for them, are not obliged to fast.) Non-Christians, and those Christians who are not in full communion with the Catholic Church, are welcome to worship with us, but should not present themselves for Communion. We invite you to pray for Christian unity.

Here we see (1) the necessity of the one-hour Eucharistic fast; (2) the need to be in full communion with the Catholic Church; and (3) the essential condition of being in a state of grace. At the start of my next letter, I’ll expand a bit on the one-hour Eucharistic fast...and then give you one more way to lead a lost sheep back into the fold of the Good Shepherd. God’s blessings, my prayers...

In the Gospel, Jesus is transfigured and a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well

pleased: Listen to him.” Do we listen to Jesus when he asks us to take care of our brothers and sisters who are suffering?

If every person brought one item for St Vincent de Paul each Sunday during Lent, our pantry would be very full.

There are things that we purchase on a weekly basis and would love to have them donated:

Peanut butter, Cereal, Canned Corn and Green beans, Canned fruit, Soup, Tuna, Pork & beans, Spaghetti sauce, Spaghetti, Mac & cheese, Rice, Dry beans

Lent may also be a good time to prayerfully considering volunteering with our St Vincent de Paul. Please call Peg Lanphear at 602.433.7613

Una Carta de Nuestro Queridos feligreses, Saque sus lentes de lectura ... o lupas! Tuvimos que reducir la impresión para obtener toda esta información importante en una página. Como sabemos de la carta anterior, antes de invitar a un no católico o a un católico caído a la misa, debemos explicarles lo que implica la recepción adecuada de la Santa Comunión. La restricción de la Santa Comunión a los católicos que están en estado de gracia es esencial para su alma y para la reverencia adecuada hacia Jesucristo. En esta carta, ofrezco varias fuentes importantes para ayudarle a entender por qué abordar este problema con su invitado es tan crítico. Comencemos con un extracto clave de la Primera Carta de San Pablo a los Corintios: Por tanto, el que come el pan o bebe la copa del Señor indignamente peca contra el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor. Cada uno, pues, examine su conciencia y luego podrá comer el pan y beber de la copa. El que come y bebe indignamente, come y bebe su propia condenación por no reconocer el cuerpo. (1 Co 11:27-29) El Pan de Vida es en realidad peligroso para el alma que lo recibe "de una manera indigna" (es decir, en un estado de pecado mortal). Para ilustrar, considere el antibiótico penicilina. Para muchos, la penicilina es muy eficaz en el tratamiento de infecciones bacterianas. Para alguien como yo, sin embargo, que tiene una reacción terrible a esta droga en particular, puede empeorar las cosas. De la misma manera, la Santa Eucaristía es una poderosa ayuda para el alma que recibe a nuestro Señor dignamente, pero para el alma que obliga al Cuerpo de Cristo a un cuerpo y alma sumidos en pecado mortal, puede matar nuestra relación con el Señor, al igual que llenar una habitación de invitados en su casa con basura podrida y hacer que Jesús duerma allí. Alrededor del año 153 d.C., apenas 50 años después de que se escribiera el Evangelio de Juan, San Justín Mártir escribió sobre la doctrina católica de la Santa Eucaristía: Y este alimento se llama entre nosotros, la Eucaristía, de la cual nadie puede participar, sino el hombre que cree que las cosas que enseñamos son verdaderas, y que ha sido lavado con el lavado que es para la remisión de los pecados , y a la regeneración, y quién es tan vivo como Cristo ha ordenado. San Justin enumera tres requisitos. En primer lugar, la persona debe creer todo lo que enseña la Iglesia Católica. En segundo lugar, la persona debe ser un cristiano bautizado que cumpla la primera condición y que haya profesado públicamente esa fe católica (como hacen los conversos bautizados del protestantismo en la Vigilia Pascual). Finalmente, la persona debe "vivir como Cristo ha ordenado", es decir, en un estado de gracia sin pecado mortal conocido. Finalmente, en las misales de muchas parroquias católicas, encontrará este tipo de explicación con respecto a la Santa Comunión: La recepción de la Santa Comunión está abierta a los católicos en estado de gracia (no conscientes de ningún pecado mortal), que han ayunado durante al menos una hora antes de la recepción. (El agua y la medicina no rompen el ayuno. Los ancianos y los enfermos, así como los que los cuidan, no están obligados a ayunar.) Los no cristianos, y los cristianos que no están en plena comunión con la Iglesia católica, son bienvenidos a adorar con nosotros, pero no deben presentarse a la Comunión. Te invitamos a orar por la unidad cristiana. Aquí vemos (1) la necesidad del ayuno eucarístico de una hora; 2) la necesidad de estar en plena comunión con la Iglesia católica; y (3) la condición esencial de estar en estado de gracia. Al comienzo de mi próxima carta, voy a ampliar un poco en el ayuno eucarístico de una hora... y luego darles una manera más de llevar una oveja perdida de vuelta al redil del Buen Pastor. Las bendiciones de Dios, mis oraciones...

SAN VICENTE DE PAÚL En el Evangelio Jesús es transfigurado y una voz del cielo dijo: "Este es mi Hijo amado, con quien estoy muy complacido: Escúchalo."

¿Escuchamos a Jesús cuando nos pide que cuidemos de nuestros hermanos y hermanas que están sufriendo? Si cada persona trajera un artículo para san Vicente de Paúl cada domingo durante la Cuaresma, nuestra despensa estaría muy llena. Hay cosas que compramos semanalmente y nos encantaría que las donamos: Manteca de cacahuete, Cereal, Maíz enlatado y judías verdes, Sopa de frutas enlatadas, Atún, Cerdo y frijoles, Salsa de espaguetis, Espaguetis, Mac & Cheese, Arroz, Frijoles Secos La Cuaresma también puede ser un buen momento para considerar con espíritu de oración a San Vicente de Paúl como vuestro ministerio en SS Simón y Judas.
