TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
All Christians in both East and West embraced the care of the sick as essential to church life. In the West, the
importance of the visit of the priest is stressed, while in the East, the sick person is brought to the church for a full
Liturgy of the Word. Some, such as the Armenians, even call it the “Ritual of the Lamp,” since the oil is poured
out of the lamp by which the Word is read. This may be why Eastern Christians sometimes anoint the sick with
this oil, since the trip to church might kill them.
Our tradition in the West also unfolded in monasteries, where it was possible for infirm monks to be attended
with a full and beautifully consoling liturgy. In 950 the monks of St. Alban’s Abbey in Mainz produced a ceremonial book that was instantly a pastoral hit everywhere. There were two lengthy rituals for the sick, one an extended vigil, and the other a liturgy of anointing that included Communion under both species. While this ritual
was a house formula for monks, it is easy to see how monks who had the care of parishes desired to serve their
parishioners in a similar way. The first form included the chanting of penitential psalms, and the second form
required a confession beforehand. Both forms included a laying on of hands, which everyone understood as being
an essential part of penance.

Saint Catherine of Siena Parish School News
Saint Catherine of Siena Parish School celebrated Red Ribbon Week October 27 to
October 31 to show our support for healthy
drug free lifestyles. Laguna Beach Oﬃcer
Spring Sendele, Nicki Hernandez and Jesse
Schmi were present on campus during
morning assembly and for some brief classroom visits to reinforce the importance of
being “Drug Free”.
Monday kicked oﬀ our food drive. Our students generously donated canned goods and

week for those in our community who are in
need. “We CAN make healthy choices”.
Tuesday our students, faculty and staﬀ members wore silly, cute, fancy or sporty socks to
“sock it to drugs”.
Wednesday donuts were delivered to the
classrooms because we “do-nut do drugs”.
Thursday the students “showed drugs the
door” by decora ng their classroom door.
Friday we wore jeans and a red shirt to show
our commitment to “show your color—stand
up for what’s right.”
Making Healthy Choices
By Isabella—6th Grade Student
Making healthy choices is important because
it makes your life happier, stronger, and longer.
There are many choices you can make to have a
healthier body. I believe exercising your body and
your mind daily, ea ng healthy, drinking lots of water and ge ng plenty of rest are essen al decisions
you can make to stay fit. A good way to exercise your
body is to play a sport. Playing sports keeps your
body fit because it builds muscle and strength. To
exercise your brain you can do puzzles, read or play
logic games. If you have a fit body and a strong mind
you can achieve good grades at school and focus on
making wise choices in life. Ea ng healthy gives you
energy to think and play. Some healthy choices are
ea ng vegetables, fruits and protein and drinking
lots of milk and water. These food choices will make
your bones stronger and give you stamina to complete your ac vi es. Lastly, it's important to get
plenty of rest every night. Sleeping on a comfortable
bed will give you a good night of sleep. Ge ng lots
of sleep will relax you and rebuild your muscles.
Dreaming also relaxes your mind. If you eat healthy,
exercise, and get plenty of rest everyday, you will
live a long, healthy, and happy life.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
PREPÁRENSE
En 1682 unos negociantes encontraron una caja
abandonada en una playa al sur de El Salvador. Como
no pudieron abrirla decidieron llevársela al pueblito de
San Miguel para conseguir con qué abrirla. Montaron
la caja en un burrito y comenzaron su camino. Al pasar
por la iglesia parroquial, el burrito se sentó y la caja se
abrió revelando una bella imagen de la Virgen.
Las cartas de Pablo a los tesalonicenses son de sus primeros escritos, y fueron mo vadas por su creencia y la
de toda la primera comunidad cris ana de que el regreso de Cristo era inminente, y por eso sería una
tontería dar empo o atención a otras cosas.
En aquel entonces el pueblo de El Salvador estaba
divido por la guerra pero con la llegada de esta imagen
milagrosa el pueblo buscó reconciliarse. En 1833 hubo
otra guerra en El Salvador y los que salieron victoriosos
prome eron a María no vengarse en contra de los
perdedores. Por estos hechos se le concedió a la
imagen el nombre Nuestra Señora de la Paz. Su imagen
de madera tallada y ves da lleva una palma en la
mano recordando un milagro donde por la intercesión
de la Virgen de la Paz, Dios salvó al pueblo de la explosion de un volcán. La palma recuerda que el humo que
salía del volcán formaba una palma en el cielo.
Con el pasar del empo, ese fervor comenzaba a
disminuir un poco. Hoy día, cuando escuchamos estas
lecturas sobre el fin del mundo, podemos preguntarnos si de veras creemos que Cristo va a venir entre
nosotros como “un ladrón en la noche” (1 Tesalonicenses 5:2). Si la respuesta es “Sí”, ¿debemos, o no,
dejar nuestra planificación a largo plazo, deshacernos
de nuestros calendarios y agendas, y suspender los
ahorros para la
educación universitaria de nuestros hijos? Seguro que
no. Pero, lo que sí quiere decir es que deberíamos
cambiar nuestra vida y vivir como hijos de la luz e iluminar el mundo a nuestro alrededor con la luz del
Evangelio. Entonces, en aquel día, cuando los detalles
de nuestra ru na diaria ya no importen, estaremos
listos para encontrar nuestra paz y seguridad en Cristo
LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
Durante la época de Jesús un talento representaba una cantidad de dinero extremadamente grande. Sesenta minas eran un talento y una mina equivalía a cien denarios. Hace dos mil años un trabajador promedio en Palestina ganaba un denario diario. Cuando Jesús contó la parábola que escuchamos en el Evangelio de hoy estaba
consciente de que su audiencia se daría cuenta de que a cada uno de los siervos se le había confiado una inmensa cantidad de dinero. Este dinero bien invertido tenía la posibilidad de rendir una tremenda cantidad adicional. Los talentos espirituales que se nos confían a nosotros durante nuestra peregrinación terrenal también
tienen la posibilidad de producir resultados extraordinarios. Estos dones espirituales tienen que ser invertidos.
En otras palabras, tienen que ser usados. Cuando se usan ayudan a edificar el Reino de Dios. Traen la paz y el
consuelo a los desesperanzados. Traen la buena nueva a los desamparados. Traen alimento y techo a los que
no lo tienen. A medida que el año litúrgico va llegando a su fin, esta parábola nos pide evaluar hasta dónde
hemos invertido nuestros talentos espirituales. El potencial rendimiento de esa inversión es extraordinario.
¿Cuán extraordinarios son los resultados de nuestra inversión en esos talentos durante este año pasado?
