3 SAN FERNANDO CATHEDRAL SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS September 6, 2015 A message from Fr. Tony FEAR NOT In these mes, there is plenty to be afraid of, if we only look around. It seems that every day the news media have yet more bad news to tell: wars, disease, terrorism, drought, social unrest, and more. Some people have stopped using clock radios to wake up in the morning, preferring a jarring buzzer to the even more jarring morning news. What more do we need before we realize that we are finite creatures, and while there is much we can do to make our world be er, ul mately there is a lot that is simply not within our grasp? To this our loving God says, Be strong, fear not! We must do what we can to make our world a be er and safer place, but we must also realize our limits and that our ul mate safety is in the hands of God. We can be comforted by the realiza on that God loves us beyond measure, and will give us every help in our efforts to make our world a loving and safe place for everyone. Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony NO TEMAN En estos empos, hay muchas razones para temer, con tan sólo mirar a nuestro alrededor. Tal parece que cada día los medios de comunicación enen más malas no cias que anunciar: guerras, enfermedades, terrorismo, sequía, disturbios sociales, y mucho más. Algunas personas han dejado de usar los radios despertadores prefiriendo ser despertados por la sacudida de la alarma chillona y no de las malas no cias matu- nas. Qué más necesitamos para darnos cuenta de que somos criaturas limitadas, y aunque hay mucho que podemos hacer para mejorar nuestro mundo, en úl ma instancia hay mucho que simplemente no está a nuestro alcance? Para esto, nuestro amoroso Dios nos dice: Ánimo! No teman. Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro, pero también debemos reconocer nuestros límites y que nuestra seguridad absoluta está en manos de Dios. Nos puede servir de consuelo la realización de que Dios nos ama sin medida, y nos dará toda la ayuda necesaria para hacer de nuestro mundo un lugar acogedor y seguro para todos. Copyright J. S.

They speak of this holy and sinful Church, which we love. We know all too well the effects of sin on the faith community. From our earliest days, we have seen bap sm as a place where the old self dies in Christ, dies to sin, and rises to new life. Our ancestors in faith held that postbap smal major sin was unthinkable. Yet, as one Bap st minister once explained, We know that sin is drowned in the water, but it would appear that the devil is a pre y good swimmer. The origins of the sacrament of penance have to do with a similar insight among bishops in the early church. A cri cal ques on for them was whether or not a bap zed person who had commi ed a public sin could be reestablished in church life, forgiven, and restored. Forgiven, yes, was an early answer, but restored was another ma er. Penance would be a permanent lifestyle for the forgiven; they would live at the margins of the community, clearly visible in dis nc ve garments, and their access to the table of the Eucharist was restricted. The harsh beginnings of public penance led in me to a true treasure of our tradi on: the ability to find our way home through the ministry of others, and a way for all of us sinners to experience the gentle embrace of our forgiving Lord.
