Dear Parishioners, As I mentioned last week, the Bible is central in Catholic life, especially in the way we pray and worship. Today, we will see how the Bible is also central in the teachings of the Church.

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, written in human language. This is why another name we use in referring to the Bible is Sacred Scripture.

“Written in human language” means that the divine message of the Bible is expressed through the different styles and genres that make up any great work of literature. For example, you will find, within the books of Sacred Scripture, poems, narratives, wisdom, proverbs, history, prophecy, myth-like stories, parables and allegory, all influenced by the culture of the times in which they were composed.

However, because the Bible is divinely inspired, we hold that God is ultimately the author; and though the Bible is written in human language, the revealed truths about God are themselves not compromised. The words of Sacred Scripture are living and active in the world, yesterday, today and tomorrow, and are not subject to culture and history.

All of us can and should read and pray with the Bible at a personal level. However, sometimes it can be hard to understand, because without proper context and interpretation, the words on the page can be easily misunderstood. Some things written in the Bible are meant to be taken literally, other things are not. We trust that the Holy Spirit works within the teaching magisterium of the Church, to interpret the spiritual truths of the Bible and to safeguard against incorrect interpretation, providing us with teachings that are true and authentic when it comes to matters of faith and morals. These teachings are passed down from generation to generation through what we call the Sacred Tradition of the Church. Catholics believe that Sacred Tradition is the servant of the inspired Word of God. The two, Scripture and Tradition, flow together into the one spring of living water that we call Divine Revelation. The two together have served to keep the Catholic Church as one through her 2000-plus year history and in every place and culture throughout the world. The fullness of revelation is Jesus Christ. The teaching of the importance of Scripture and Tradition is unique to the Catholic faith.

Fr. Gary’s article continues on page 3...

Queridos Parroquianos: Como mencioné la semana pasada, la Biblia es central en la vida Católica, especialmente en la forma en que oramos y practicamos el culto. El día de hoy veremos que la Biblia también es central en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia.

Nosotros creemos que la Biblia es la palabra de Dios, escrita en lenguaje humano, transmitida por inspiración divina. Es por eso que otro nombre que usamos para referirnos a la Biblia es Sagrada Escritura.

“Escrita en lenguaje humano” significa que el mensaje divino de la Biblia es expresado por medio de diferentes estilos y géneros que forman cualquier gran obra de literatura. Por ejemplo, ustedes encontrarán dentro de los libros de la Sagra-da Escritura: poemas, narraciones, sabiduría, proverbios, his-toria, profecías, leyendas, parábolas y alegorías, todas influen-ciadas por la cultura de la época en la que fueron escritas.

Sin embargo, debido a que la Biblia es inspiración divina, no-sotros sostenemos que Dios es el autor en última instancia, y aunque la Biblia está escrita en lenguaje humano, las verdades reveladas acerca de Dios no han sido puestas en entredicho. Las palabras de la Sagrada Escritura están vivas y activas en el mundo, ayer, hoy y mañana, y no están sujetas ni a la cultu-ra ni a la historia.

Todos podemos -y deberíamos- leer y orar con la Biblia a nivel personal. Sin embargo, algunas veces puede ser difícil de en-tender, porque sin el contexto y la interpretación adecuadas, las palabras pueden ser fácilmente malentendidas. Algunas cosas escritas en la Biblia fueron hechas para tomarse literal-mente y otras no. Nosotros confiamos que el Espíritu Santo trabaja dentro del magisterio de enseñanza de la Iglesia para interpretar las verdades espirituales de la Biblia y para salva-guardarla contra la interpretación incorrecta, proporcionándo-nos enseñanzas que son verdaderas y auténticas en lo que se refiere a asuntos de fe y de moral. Estas enseñanzas han pasado de generación en generación por medio de lo que lla-mamos la Sagrada Tradición de la Iglesia.

Los católicos creemos que la Sagrada Tradición es servidora de la Palabra de Dios transmitida por inspiración divina. Las dos, Escritura y Tradición, fluyen juntas en el manantial de agua viva que llamamos Revelación Divina. Las dos juntas han servido para mantener a la Iglesia Católica como una sola durante sus más de 2000 años de historia en todos los lugares y culturas del mundo. La plenitud de la revelación es Jesucris-to. La enseñanza sobre la importancia de la Escritura y de la Tradición es única de la Fe Católica.

...Fr. Gary’s article continued

Again, I invite you to go deeper.

Take time to study the Bible by always reading the introduction of the book you are reading, along with the footnotes. The introduc-tion helps us situate ourselves within the proper context of the text and gives us the genre of the book, letting us know whether we should read the book as history, poetry, allegory etc. This helps us avoid misunderstandings. You can read the Catechism of the Cath-olic Church to learn more about how the Church understands her relationship with Sacred Scripture at www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s1c2a3.htm If you want to go the extra mile, you can read the document Dei Verbum www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html, Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation, written by Pope Paul VI. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

Fr. Gary Zender

Message from Lynette Basta... It is with mixed emotions that I write to you to let you know that in January I had a conversation with Fr. Gary and expressed my de-sire to retire from my position as Director of Worship. My official last day working at St. Louise will be June 30th. It has been an honor and a privilege being a part of the Parish staff for the past nine years and serving along side you. Both Sam and I still plan to call St. Louise parish our church home, as it has been for over 33 years. Blessings, Lynette Basta

Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Saturday mornings beginning May 1, eve-ryone is invited to join in celebrating a no-vena to the Virgin Mary under her title, "Our Lady of Perpetual Help," at 10AM for nine Saturdays, beginning May 1. The no-vena gathering will be in the St. Louise Room. Please note that the novena will not be livestreamed. The dates for the novena are May 1, 15, 22, 29, June 5, 12, 19, 26. "Our Lady of Perpetual Help" is the name given to Mary as depicted in a famous, centuries-old icon in the Byzantine style. The icon and the devotion to Mary it in-spires is in the special charge of the Re-demptorist order of priests. You can see a

picture of the icon and read about its history, miracles and symbolism at their website at http://www.iconoflove.org/. Although anyone can make a private novena at any time, the Church teaches that there is added efficacy in the union of the faithful at prayer. Holding this public novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a St. Louise tradition, sponsored by the Fil-Am community. Please come!

Sección en español ...El articulo del P. Gary continuó

Nuevamente, los invito a ir más a fondo.

Tomen tiempo para estudiar la Biblia, leyendo siempre la introducción del libro que están leyendo, junto con las notas de pie de página. La introducción nos ayuda a situarnos dentro del contexto adecuado del texto y nos da el género del libro, haciéndonos sa-ber si deberíamos leer el libro como historia, poesía, alegoría, etc. Esto nos ayuda a evitar malos entendidos. Ustedes pueden leer el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica para aprender más sobre la forma en que la Iglesia entiende su relación con la Sagrada Escritu-ra en www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p1s1c2a3.htm Si quieren hacer todavía más, pueden leer el documento Dei Verbum www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html , Constitución Dogmática sobre la Divina Revelación, escrito por el Papa Paulo VI.

¡Él ha resucitado en verdad! ¡Aleluya!
