DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA — SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2014
COMMUNITY LIFE CENTER LOAN
Congratulations, our loan balance is down to $130,000.00. As you know, our goal is to get this loan paid-off by the end of the
year. Therefore, beginning this weekend through the end of the year we will have a second collection every weekend solely for
the purpose of paying this debt. We have an average weekend mass attendance of 2600 adults. If each of those adults contributed
just $5.00 to the second collection every week we would raise $104,000.00! With that, proceeds from recent fundraisers and the
Adopt-a-Pledge payments we could accomplish our pay-off goal. Please do your part, and bring that $5.00 bill every Sunday.
Thank you!!
PRESTAMO DEL CENTRO COMUNITARIO DE VIDA
Felicitaciones, el saldo de nuestra deuda ha bajado a $130,000.00. Como ustedes saben, nuestra meta es de poder pagar este
préstamo en su totalidad para fines de año. Entonces, empezando este fin de semana hasta finales de este año, la segunda colecta
todos los fines de semana ira para el pago de esta deuda. Nosotros tenemos un promedio de 2600 adultos que atienden a Misa los
fines de semana. Si cada uno de estos adultos contribuyerán $5.00 para la segunda colecta todas las semanas nosotros podremos
recoger la cantidad de $104,000.00! Con eso, al igual que con otras funciones para recaudar fondos, y pagos del program de
Adoptar-un Compromiso (Adoptar-una Estrella) nosotros podremos llegar a la meta de pagar esta deuda. Por favor hagan su
parte y traigan esos $5.00 cada Domingo. Muchas gracias!!

Penitential Rite (Confiteor)
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I
have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have
done and in what I have failed to do,
through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault;
Therefore I ask Blessed Mary, ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

Gospel Acclamation
Sanctus (Holy, Holy)
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.
Preparation of the Gifts: Come to the Water
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts.
Heav’n and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna in the highest!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
Lord. Hosanna...
Mystery of Faith
Amen
Agnus Dei (Lamb of God)
Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world:
(1, 2) Have mercy on us. Have mercy on us. (repeat)
(3) Grant us peace. Grant us peace.
Practicing Catholics (those at Mass each week and
regular at confession) are invited to receive the
Sacrament. Non practicing Catholics should go to
confession before receiving Holy Communion.
Non Catholics are welcome to come for a blessing
(cross your arms over your chest).

Communion Chant: Draw Near
Song of Praise: As the Deer Longs
1. As the deer longs for flowing streams, So longs my soul for you, O God.
My soul does thirst for the living God. When shall I come to see your face?
1. Draw near and take the Body of the Lord, and drink with faith the Blood
for you outpoured. Saved by Christ’s Body and his holy Blood,
with souls refreshed we give our thanks to God.
2. Christ, our Redeemer, God’s eternal Son, has by his cross and blood the
vic’try won. He spent his life for greatest and for least.
Praise Christ, the Paschal Victim, Christ the priest.
3. Let us approach with faithful hearts sincere and claim the promise of
salvation here. Christ rules our hearts and all his saints defends;
He gives believers life that never ends.
4. With heav’nly bread Christ makes the hungry whole; his living water fills
the thirsting soul. Alpha-Omega, unto whom shall bow
All nations of the earth, be with us now.
In This Place
2. My tears have fed me day and night, while some have said: “Where is
your God?” But I recall as my soul pours dry,
the days of praise within your house.
3. Why do I mourn and toil within, when it is mine to hope in God?
I shall again sing praise to him. He is my help, he is my God.

Aclamación del Evangelio
Credo Niceno
Creo en un solo Dios, Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la
tierra. 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 nuestras 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 el 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.

tú, el Hijo del Padre. (Estribillo)

Tú que quitas el pecado del mundo, atiende nuestra súplica; Tú
que estás sentado a la derecha del Padre, ten piedad de nosotros.
(a Estrofa 4)
4. Porque sólo tú eres Santo, sólo tú, Señor, sólo tú Altísimo Jesucristo, con el Espíritu Santo en la gloria de Dios Padre. Amén.

SIN AND VIRTUE XVI —The Sin of Sloth
Before discussing the sin of sloth it is necessary to make this distinction: there are non-sinful emotional states which can mimic sloth. A deeply
depressed person may exhibit certain behaviors that we would associate with this sin, but it is not sinful to be deeply depressed. Those battling
serious depression may be listless, may be unmotivated, may find it difficult to perform routine tasks regularly or well. But these incapacities
stem from an emotional reality with which the person is trying to cope; depression is actually a part of the coping mechanism. There are also
those who battle depression as simply part of the fabric of their lives; they have a diagnosable, or clinical, depression for which they bear no moral
responsibility. None of this is to be associated with the sin of sloth.
Sloth is a radical abandonment of the responsibilities of one’s station in life. It is more than mere laziness, more than dereliction of duty. It is the
abdication of one’s proper responsibilities, the willful refusal to rise up to and meet the challenges of one’s life. The slothful husband and father
loses his job and makes no effort to find another. The slothful priest eyes the responsibilities of his calling and calculates just how many of them
he can skirt, duck out of, or leave to another priest, and performs only the bare minimum requirements to maintain his standing in the diocese.
The slothful are unengaged by their own lives, have a minimal sense of obligation to others and to society at large, and as they let go of more and
more of their proper responsibilities they circle deeper and deeper into an inward and radically selfish spiral, their own inner emptiness attaining
an almost gravitational pull. This cycle can be accelerated by substance abuse; drugs or alcohol might seem to relieve the tedium, the emptiness.
In such cases, however, the addiction, is a mere symptom of the root problem.
Breaking out of such a spiral requires above all the application of one virtue: courage. We will look at courage next week.
IHM Pray for us Fr. Jim
PECADO Y VIRTUD XVI - El Pecado de la Pereza
Antes de discutir el pecado de la pereza es necesario hacer esta distinción; hay emociones que no son pecados los cuales pueden imitar a la pereza.
Una persona que esta sumamente deprimida puede demonstrar ciertos comportamientos que lo pueden asociar con este pecado, pero no es pecado
para la persona que esta sumamente deprimida. Aquellos que luchan con una depresión muy seria pueden ser indiferentes, no tienen ninguna
motivación, pueden tener dificultad regularmente en hacer tareas rutinarias o hacerlas bien. Pero estas incapacidades se originan de una realidad
emocional por la cuál la persona trata de aguantar; depresión es actualmente parte del mecanismo de aguantar esta situación. Hay también
aquellos que luchan con depresión como una simple fibra de sus vidas; ellos tienen una depresión clinica diagnosticada por la cuál ellos no
mantienen ninguna responsabilidad moral. Nada de esto esta asociado con el pecado de la pereza.
Pereza es un abandono radical de las responsabilidades de una estación en la vida. Es mucho más de ser perezoso, más del abandono de la
obligación. Es una abdicación de las responsabilidades de cada uno, el rehuso voluntario y total de enfrentarse al desafio de la vida. El padre
perezoso pierde su empleo y no hace ningún esfuerzo para encontrar otro. El sacerdote perezoso ve las responsabilidades de su llamado y calcula
cuantos de ellos puede esquivar, salirse de hacerlos, o dejarlo para otro sacerdote, y hace solamente los requisitos minimos para mantener su status
en la diócesis.
Los perezosos son despegados de sus propias vidas, tienen un senso minimo de obligación a otros y para la sociedad en general y también dejan
más y más de sus propias responsabilidades, ellos dan profundas vueltas a encerrarse radicalmente y egoistamente de una forma espiral, adentro
de sus seres vacios obteniendo algo como un empuje de gravitación. Este ciclo puede ser accelerado por abuso de substancias; drogas o bebidas
alcohólicas que parecen aliviar el tedium, el vacio. En esos casos, la entrega es un sintoma simple de la raiz del problema.
Saliendose de tal espiral requiere sobre todo la aplicación de una virtud; coraje. Nosotros veremos al coraje la semana que viene.

BIBLE CHRISTIANITY: The Church Revealed in Scripture
Join Father Jim for an exploration of Scriptural passages that predict,
find and develop the Catholic Church as THE Church founded by
Christ. We will look at the Old Testament prophecies, both among the
prophets and in Psalms, which tell of a worldwide religion which gives
true worship to God. We will examine the words of Jesus about the
Church He intends to found. And we will see the actual formation of the
infant Church, complete with bishops, priests, deacons, sacraments
and above all, the Eucharist, in Acts of the Apostles and the letters of
Paul. We will study the Church described in the Book of Revelations,
and we will look at the developments in theology and ecclesial
organization the first four centuries after Christ.
The conclusion is inescapable: "Bible Christianity" is Catholic
Christianity. Saturday, November 15 in the Hall. Continental breakfast
at 9:30am, talk begins at ten. Lunch provided. Bring your Bible and a
rosary. RSVP to Father Jim by November 12 is greatly appreciated
