Treasures From Our Traditions Sadly, one of the most difficult reforms of the Second Vatican Council for the Church to embrace has been one of the most thorough and beautiful: the sacrament of penance. Because it is individual and private, it has been difficult for the changes to take root. Sometimes a priest may be grounded in the earlier form, and at other times the penitent may resist the priest’s attempt to blend in the proper texts and rituals. Perhaps because the new form is almost identical in structure to the old, it has been difficult to instititute. It may also be true that with the liturgy in English now, it is far more clear that the Eucharist, too, is a “sacrament of reconciliation.” It is certainly true that there are different skills and gifts in ministry, and experienced penitents know that not all priests are equally at ease in this sacramental encounter. Sometimes a difficult experience can drive people away from a liturgy that is spiritually rich and rewarding. Yet we know that one bad meal seldom puts people off restaurants forever: the dinner gong tends to dispel bad memories, and so we try again. Individual confession and absolution is for us both treasure and tradition. If you haven’t been for a while, consider coming back to praise God for this gift of mercy.

We are asking for canned goods (tuna, soup, vegetables, fruit), juice packs, dry pasta, hard candy, peanut butter and jelly; things that can be easily stored for a few months. Of course, you can bring any of the items listed on the grocery bags which are at the back of the church. We also take monetary donations which we use to purchase food to compliment your donations. It is your continued support that enables us to bring this much needed help to our less fortunate brothers and sisters in Tijuana. Christian Families of Bethlehem On Saturday November 1 and Sunday, November 2, the Christian Families of Bethlehem, the Holy Land, will be at OLM to sell hand carved religious articles made of olive wood, which is their only source of income due to the political situation and lack of tourism.
