We would like to thank everyone who helped in any way to make our VBS such a rewarding experience! It was great to see the children’s faces light up while learning about Jesus through prayer, song, art, and games. We could not have done it without our terrific volunteers. Our adult volunteers were Beth Burdick, Helen Cox, Dawn Kelley, Kathy Larson, Barb Meier, Nicole Smykal and Jodi Struzynski. Our student volunteers were Anna Caswell, Ashley Caswell, Anna Eisch, Kenny Radermacher, Hannah Struzynski and Hailey Struzynski. We are also grateful for all the support from our wonderful office staff. Thank you to all those who contributed in any way. A special thank you to Granny’s Greenery for the beautiful plants to landscape our VBS and the flowers they donated for students to take home.

Algunas Reflexiones Sobre el Matrimonio —

por el Padre David Greskowiak

Algunas personas pueden sentir que la decisión de

la Corte Suprema el 26 de junio para legalizar

el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo ha

redefinido la santificada y la sagrada institución

del matrimonio a lo largo de nuestro país. Déjame

decirte sin embargo que ningún cambio ha

ocurrido en la iglesia católica, nuestra iglesia, ni lo

será. El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica

afirma que el matrimonio es: "un pacto o asociación

de vida entre un hombre y una mujer, que es

ordenada para el bienestar de los cónyuges y la

procreación y la crianza de los hijos. Esta es la

antigua enseñanza de la iglesia, y ninguna persona

civil, judicial o polítical tiene autoridad para

desafiar, cambiar o interferir con él dentro de la

iglesia; y ningún católico practicante

ligeramente lo debe ignorar. Esto es tanto un asunto

de libertad religiosa y de la moralidad

personal.

La enseñanza de la iglesia sobre el matrimonio tiene

sus raíces en la Sagrada Escritura y la Ley

Natural. La ley natural es una filosofía de la ley que

dice que vinculando las normas de

comportamiento moral para los individuos y para

las sociedades se puede deducir de la

naturaleza por el simple uso de la razón humana.

Aplicando este al matrimonio podemos ver

fácilmente que por naturaleza sólo la unión de un

hombre y una mujer puede producir a niños.

Dos hombres o dos mujeres no lo pueden hacer. En

la iglesia católica, la apertura a los niños es

uno de los ingredientes necesarios para el

matrimonio. La iglesia también reconoce la

capacidad

de las parejas casadas que no tienen o no pueden

tener los niños para generar fertilidad en otras

maneras de amantes.

El Catecismo dice: “La Sagrada Escritura comienza

con la creación de hombre y mujer a imagen

y semejanza de Dios y concluye con una visión de

'el banquete de bodas del cordero.'” Ademas

dice: "Dios mismo es el autor del matrimonio . La

vocación al matrimonio está escrita en la

propia naturaleza del hombre y de la mujer quienes

se hicieron de la mano del creador.

El matrimonio no es una institución puramente

humana a pesar de las muchas variantes que pueden

haber sido sometidos a través de los siglos en

diferentes culturas, estructuras sociales y actitudes

espirituales." También observa que: "Cristo

(mismo) eligió nacer y crecer en el seno de la

Sagrada Familia de José y María".

A las personas, especialmente los católicos, que

dicen que la iglesia es antigua, obsoleta, o no en

mantenimiento con actitudes modernas hacia el

amor y el matrimonio, yo diría sin pedir

disculpas que no es nuestra iglesia que está mal,

sino más bien la aceptación del matrimonio de

personas del mismo sexo como parte de la "nueva

normalidad" que es incorrecto. La vista de la

iglesia hacia el matrimonio ha sido que el

matrimonio ha podido permanecer durante mucho

tiempo y está bien fundamentada, moralmente,

filosóficamente y teológicamente. Yo podria

comparar este punto de vista y otras enseñanzas a

lugares como el Peñón de Gibraltar, Cabo de

Hornos o un faro robusto en una costa escarpada.

No importa lo que el viento y el mar puede

hacer en cualquier momento, esos lugares todavía

están parados.

Hay mucho más que se podria decir sobre el

matrimonio, pero haría este artículo demasiado

largo. Por ahora, se espera con respecto al tema del

matrimonio, que todas las personas de fe —

jóvenes, los de mediana edad, y los mayores, que en

palabras de la oración del XIII Domingo del

tiempo ordinario: ".. .no ser envueltos en las

tinieblas del error pero siempre ser visto parados a

la luz brillante de la verdad."
