CATECHETICAL SUNDAY

What Does the Word “Catechetical” Mean? The word might be more familiar than you think. Many Catholics have used the word "catechism" for years, and they know it has something to do with the compendium of the Church's teachings. The root word, "catechesis," is from a Greek word meaning "to echo, or resound." Catechesis is the act of resounding or bringing the Church's teachings to the world. A catechist is one who teaches in the name of the Church.

Why do we have a special day set aside to commission catechists? Catechesis is a distinct and special ministry in the Church. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church makes clear, “Catechesis is intimately bound up with the whole of the Church’s life . . . her inner growth and correspondence with God’s plan depend essentially on catechesis” (no. 7). This ministry of teaching in the name of the Church has a profound dignity, which is why catechists are formally commissioned by the Church. It is only fitting that we set aside a day to highlight this ministry and invite the entire church community to think about our responsibility to share our faith with others.

We will celebrate in special way to the entire catechist on the Catechetical Sunday, September 21, 2014 at the 9:30am, 11:00am and 6:00pm Masses.

Pray for them and thank them for the wonderful job that they do.

DOMINGO CATEQUETICO

¿Qué significa la palabra "Catequesis"? La palabra puede ser más familiar de lo que piensa. Muchos católicos han usado la palabra "catecismo" durante años, y saben que tiene algo que ver con el compendio de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia. La raíz de la palabra, "la catequesis," viene de una palabra griega que significa "hacer eco o resonancia." La catequesis es el acto de resonancia o traer las enseñanzasde la Iglesia al mundo. Un catequista es aquel que enseña en nombre de la Iglesia.

¿Por qué nos hemos reservado un día especial para encomendar los catequistas? La catequesis es un ministerio distinto y especial en la Iglesia. Como enseña el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica deja claro: "La catequesis está íntimamente ligada a la totalidad de la vida de la Igleia. . . su crecimiento interior, su correspondenciacon el designio de Dios dependen esencialmente de ella "(no. 7). Este ministerio de la enseñanza en el nombre de la Iglesiatiene una dignidad profunda, por lo que los catequistas se encomendados formalmente por la Iglesia. Es lógico quereservemos un día para destacar este ministerio e invitar a toda la comunidad de la iglesia a pensar en nuestraresponsabilidad de compartir nuestra fe con otros.

Vamos a celebrar de manera especial a todos los catequistas en las siguientes misas en el Domingo Catequético el Domingo, 21 de septiembre 2014 a las 9:30 am, 11:00 am y 6:00 pm.

Oren por ellos y denles las gracias por el maravilloso trabajo que hacen.

W o r s h i p & P r a y e r

HACER LA VOLUNTAD DE DIOS El lenguaje de Jeremías al dirigir sus anhelos al Señor diciéndole: “Me has seducido, Señor, y me dejé seducer por ti” (Jeremías 20:7), indica una relación muy íntima. Es una que el profeta obviamente valora a pesar de los reproches y burlas que le trae. En el Evangelio, Jesús indica un lazo similar con su Padre. A pesar del difícil reto de seguir la vol-untad de Dios, Jesús no se detiene. Dejar atrás los cuidados del mundo y los sueños, aunque sea para aceptar el dolor y el sufrimiento, es más que un intercambio justo para hacer la voluntad de Dios. La única manera de hacer la voluntad de Dios es ofrecer todo nuestro ser a Dios. Como san Pablo escribe en la carta a los romanos: “No sigan la corriente del mundo en que vivimos, más bien transfórmense por la renovación de su mente” (Romanos 12:2a). Copyright © J. S. Paluch co.

DOING GOD’S WILL The language of Jeremiah as he addresses his yearnings to God—he says, “You duped me, O LORD, and I let myself be duped” (Jeremiah 20:7)—indicates a close and personal relationship with God. It is one the prophet obviously cherishes despite the derision and reproach it brings him. In the Gospel, Jesus indicates a similar bond with his Father. In spite of the difficult challenges presented by following God’s will, Jesus is not deterred. Giving up our own worldly cares and dreams, even as we accept pain and suffering, is more than a fair exchange for doing the will of God. The only way to do God’s will is offer our whole selves to God. As St. Paul writes in the Letter to the Romans: “Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” (Romans 12:2a). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

This is a communal celebration of remembrance of those who have lost their lives through violence during this past year in the Diocese of San Jose. Knowing that those of us who are left behind to mourn need an op-portunity to celebrate the lives of those who have gone before us, we invite you to send the name of anyone you would like remembered to Sister Maryann at 1150 North First Street, San Jose 95112 or at (408) 983-0131.

For Your Safety We wanted to bring it to your attention that we had a few cars broken into in the last few week. Make sure that when you come to mass or to any event on campus that you do not leave your valuables in plain sight. Please do not transfer them to or from any part of you vehicle while you are here. One suggestion we have is to leave them at home or transfer them before you leave your home. Let’s not give anyone the temptation to break into your car.

August 31, 2014 What is Whooping Cough? Whooping cough – or pertussis is a very serious infection in the lungs and breathing tubes. It causes violent coughing you can’t stop. Whooping cough is most harmful for young babies and can be deadly. The Dtap vaccine protects against whooping cough. Whooping cough starts with the following symptoms:

Runny or stuffed up nose Sneezing Mild Cough A pause in breathing in babies

After 1-2 weeks, severe coughing starts

Children and babies can cough very hard, over and over Coughing fits make it hard to breathe, eat, drink or sleep.

Coughing is worse at night. When children cannot catch their breath, they make a

whooping sound. The disease is most dangerous for babies and young children. Half of the babies younger than 1 year who get the disease need to be hospitalized.
