A NOTICE ON BAPTISMS AT THE CATHEDRAL BASILICA period of preparation, a period during which we can earn the true life as citizens of his eternal kingdom. How often do we, Baptisms usually take place in the Cathedral sanctuary or like the Jews of Christ's day, forget this and bend all our Baptistery. However, if there is a Cathedral event scheduled in the efforts to building for ourselves a kingdom of power or main sanctuary, Baptisms may take place in the Cathedral crypt. wealth in this world, a kingdom which we will have to leave so soon? We would not, of course, openly deny Christ, much less try, like his neighbors in Nazareth, to throw him to his death over a cliff: but how often in our private actions, and in our dealings with our neighbors, do we push him and his doctrine quietly aside and act as if we knew him not. In this we are no better than Christ's neighbors of Nazareth and we grieve his loving heart as much as they did on that sad day. Am I one of those (each one of us can ask himself)? Do I really love Christ or, to put it in a more personal way, do I really love myself ? If I do, I will not risk losing my place in the eternal kingdom for the sake of some paltry pleasure or gain in this present life which will end for me so very soon.

WEEKLY EUCHARISTIC ADORATION It is customary not only to visit the graves of our dearly departed, but also to have Masses offered for the eternal repose of their souls. Having a Mass offered for the repose of a soul, and offering our own prayers, is more beneficial and comforting than a card or a bouquet of flowers.

From the Catechism of the (CCC): “From the beginning the church has honored the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above The Blessed Sacrament is adored in the Lady Chapel on all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may Wednesdays & First Fridays from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM attain the beatific vision of God” (CCC #1032).

«Ningún profeta es bien recibido en su patria» ADORACION EUCARISTICA SEMANAL ! ! Hoy, en este domingo ! cuarto del tiempo ! ordinario, la liturgia ! continúa presentándonos ! a Jesús hablando en la ! sinagoga de Nazaret. ! Empalma con el Evangelio ! del domingo pasado, en el ! que Jesús leía en la sinagoga la profecía de Isaías: «El Espíritu del Señor sobre Los Miércoles y Primer Viernes de Mes mí, porque me ha ungido en la capilla de la Catedral, se adorara al para anunciar a los pobres Señor en el Santísimo Sacramento de la Buena Nueva, me ha enviado a proclamar la liberación a 6:00 PM a 7:00 PM los cautivos y la vista a los ciegos, para dar la libertad a los oprimidos (...)» (Lc 4,18 -1 9). Jesús, al acabar la lectura, La Santa Misa se celebrara a las 7:00 PM y Confesiones se escuchan de 6:15 PM a 6:45 PM afirma sin tapujos que esta profecía se cumple en Él. Venga a pasar una hora con JESUS ! El Evangelio comenta que los de Nazaret se extrañaban que de sus labios salieran aquellas palabras de gracia. El hecho de que Jesús fuese bien conocido por los nazarenos, ya que había sido su vecino durante la infancia y juventud, no facilitaba su predisposición para aceptar que era un profeta. Recordemos la frase de Natanael: «¿De Nazaret puede salir algo bueno?» (Jn 1,46). Jesús les reprocha su incredulidad, recordando aquello: «Ningún profeta es bien recibido en su MISAS PARA EL REPOSO DE ALMAS patria» (Lc 4,24). Y les pone el ejemplo de Elías y de Eliseo, que hicieron milagros para los forasteros, pero no para los Es costumbre de no sólo conciudadanos. visitar las tumbas de nuestros difuntos, sino también de Por lo demás, la reacción de los nazarenos fue violenta. ofrecer Misas por el descanso Querían despeñarlo. ¡Cuántas veces pensamos que Dios eterno de sus almas. Ofrecer tiene que realizar sus acciones salvadoras acoplándose a una Misa por el descanso de nuestros grandilocuentes criterios! Nos ofende que se valga almas, y nuestras oraciones de lo que nosotros consideramos poca cosa. Quisiéramos un propias, es más beneficioso y Dios espectacular. Pero esto es propio del tentador, desde el reconfortante que una tarjeta pináculo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, tírate de aquí abajo» (Lc o un ramo de flores.

4,9). Jesucristo se ha revelado como un Dios humilde: el Hijo del hombre «no ha venido a ser servido, sino a El Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (CIC) nos enseña: servir» (Mc 10,45). Imitémosle. No es necesario, para salvar a las almas, ser grande como san Javier. La humilde Teresa “Desde los primeros tiempos, la Iglesia ha honrado la del Niño Jesús es su compañera, memoria de los difuntos y ha ofrecido sufragios en su favor, como patrona de las misiones. en particular el sacrificio eucarístico, para que, una vez purificados, puedan llegar a la visión beatífica de Dios.” P. Pere SUÑER, S.J. (CIC # 1032)
