CATHOLIC PORTALS OF HOPE In the text of Psalm 26, we read: I walk in the path of perfection… and I walk according to your truth. Also in this Psalm we read: As for me, I walk the path of perfection… my foot stands on level ground. The theme is continued in Psalm 101, where we read: I sing to you, O Lord; I will walk in the way of

perfection. Later in the Psalm is found: He who walks in the way of perfection shall be my friend. In the Gospel, Jesus instructs us: You must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect. How can this be? We are all sinners and fall far short of the glory of God. Yet, one of the books written by St. Teresa of Avila was entitled: “The Way of Perfection”. She understood the meaning of the term… and it is as follows. Jesus is the perfect person. He is the Perfection. He fulfills perfectly all that the heavenly Father has asked of Him. Properly understood, we walk in the way of Perfection when we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and follow Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Also the Mystical Body of Christ is the Church which cannot be separated from her Head, Christ. Therefore, the Church, full of flawed, faulty sinners is nonetheless a perfect organism, divinely imbued with the Holy Spirit. If each of us, sinners all, walk in lockstep with the Church in her liturgy, obeying the Commandments, adhering to the tenets of our creed, celebrating the Sacraments and praying, we walk the Way of Perfection. Further, one can be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect when we realize that Jesus and the Father are One. The Father is perfect, Jesus is perfect and the Church of which we are members is perfect. And so, we have the Church, a portal of hope that we can indeed follow the path of perfection with clear conscience and integrity of heart. Contributed by Gene Rheault, Carmelite. … yet is their hope full of immortality. (Wis 3:4)

Catholic Community of Saint Patrick TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En 1502 el fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce franciscanos dieron inicio a la evangeli-zación de América en la República Dominicana. Ellos fueron enviados por los reyes españo-les con el mandato de convertir a los nativos “sin les hacer fuerza alguna”. Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higuey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. María observa dulcemente a su recién nacido quien yace sobres las pajas. Está co-ronada y lleva puesto un manto azul rociado de estrellas y un escapulario blanco. Lleva una aureola hecha de doce estrellas. En una esquina de la imagen san José también observa al niño por encima del hombro derecho de María. El 25 de enero del 1979 Juan Pablo II la coronó por ser la primera evangelizadora del continente Americano. Con ella los doce misioneros trajeron la Alta Gracia de Jesu-cristo a nuestras tierras. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LA EXISTENCIA DE DIOS Nadie que entiende la realidad de que Dios existe puede pensar que Dios no existe. —San Anselmo de Canterbury

What is Mercy? Mercy is a virtue that influences a person’s compassion for another. Mercy inspires the will to ease another’s misfortunes or suffering in either body or soul. The corporal and spiritual works of mercy are charitable actions that extend God’s compassion and mercy to those in need. The works of mercy are more than gestures or obligations. To gain merit in heaven, the actions must be performed as acts of love for our neighbor as a response to our deep love for God. The corporal and spiritual works of mercy work together as paths to Salvation. They give Christians ways to live according to Jesus’ Great Commandment. And they are important to pay attention to now as we celebrate the Holy Year of Mercy, called for by Pope Francis. What works of mercy will your family choose to do this year?

Sunday classes? Yes! We DO have classes this weekend, but we will not have any on Sunday, February 7th nor on Sunday, February 14th.

NEWS FROM FAITH FORMATION
