3 Page Three February 26, 2017 Dear Parishioners, Last Sunday, the Catholic Charities of Santa Barbara Region, Deaneries 3 and 4 honored several outstanding parishioners from different parishes within those deaneries. We congratulate BIANCA LANGLOIS and CLYDE ALLEN, our two parishioners. They were honored for their services to the community and their work for the poor and the marginalized, as well as making a difference in the lives of children as well as adults. Marriage and Family: A Communion of Love The Christian married couple, with their children, form an image of the Trinitarian God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Marriage and family life images the Trinity in two ways. First, like the Trinity, marriage is a communion of love between coequal persons, beginning with husband and wife and extending to all the members of the family. Second, just as Trinity s love is lifegiving, a married couple s love conceives and cares for children. In addition to reflecting the Trinity, the family is a microcosm of the Church. The ancient expression domestic church accurately describes the family because it is a small communion of persons that draws its sustenance from the larger Church and reflects its life in unique ways. Within this domestic church, parents have a special responsibility to teach children the faith and help them to grow in virtue. The family matures as a domestic church by participating in the life and worship of the larger Church, especially Sunday Eucharist. In the Eucharist, members of the family are most fully united to Christ, to one another, and to their brothers and sisters throughout the world. Christian spouses in a mixed marriage (between a Catholic and a baptized person who is not Catholic) witness to the universality of God s love, even without sharing the Eucharist. They can make an important contribution towards Christian unity. Sometimes, Catholics marry nonchristians. These marriages are not sacramental, although the parties do commit to fidelity, permanence, and openness to children. Both types of unions face particular challenges, especially the religious upbringing of children. The Catholic party needs to take seriously the promise to maintain his or her Catholic faith and to do all in his or her power to have the children baptized and raised Catholic. Marriage is a vocation, or divine call, as necessary and valuable to the Church as other vocations. Discernment of and preparation for marriage is a process that begins early in life and continues through the engagement period. Because marriage is for the good of the Church and the entire community, the Church and the state have an obligation to help support and sustain marriage. Growth in Virtue With God s grace, couples are called to grow in holiness. A holy marriage is made up of many virtues. Fundamentally, the couple lives out the theological virtues of faith, hope and love. Love is the heart of the vocation of marriage. It calls spouses to imitate Jesus by their willingness to sacrifice themselves in everyday situations for each other and their children. Couples must also grow in the moral virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. Two virtues that are sometimes overlooked are chastity and gratitude. Marital chastity means that the couple s love is total, faithful, exclusive and open to life. It protects a great good: the communion of persons and the procreative purpose of marriage. Marriage is a school of gratitude, in which husband and wife are thankful for the gift of each other. They express their joyous gratitude in giving themselves completely to each other. Their gratitude leads them to be open to children and to be generous towards others. Growth in virtue is a lifelong journey, in which the spouses become more like Christ so that they can more perfectly love each other as Christ loves his Church. The Eucharist In the Eucharist Catholic couples meet Christ, the source of their marriage. This encounter moves them to reach out in love to the broader Church and to the world. The Eucharist nourishes the virtue of marital hospitality and helps the couple to recognize God s image in others. This hospitality builds up the Church and makes it a stronger witness to Christ s love in the world. A marriage that is truly in Christ is a sign of the Kingdom that is coming. At the end of time, at the celebration of the heavenly wedding banquet, the love to which the spouses have been called will find its completion when the entire Church is assumed into the glory of the risen Christ. May I ask that you save a copy of this article for your resource and use it any time for teaching your children or relatives. Let us pray for all our families that they will be true reflection of God s communion of Love. Peace, Fr. Riz

6 Page Six St. Peter Claver Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. ~ Isaiah 49:15 NEXT SATURDAY, MARCH 4 TH AT 11am, a special Mass and anointing of the sick will be held for seniors and those in poor health. The Anointing of the Sick is not a sacrament for those only who are at the point of death. Hence, as soon as anyone of the faithful begins to be in danger of death from sickness or old age, the fitting time for him to receive this sacrament has certainly already arrived. If a sick person who received this anointing recovers his health, he can in the case of another grave illness receive this sacrament again. If during the same illness the person s condition becomes more serious, the sacrament may be repeated. It is fitting to receive the Anointing of the Sick just prior to a serious operation. The same holds for the elderly whose frailty becomes more pronounced. We d like to welcome our newest Christian through Baptism Donovan Mateo Cruz Please pray for the health of Jessie Jaffray; Myles Ireland; Ann Vinton; Carlos Rodriquez; Jim Womack; Cole Bunker; Nadia Jerisat; Barry Livingston; Agnes Sugay; (infant) Aidan Josias Garcia; Josephine Keithley; Justin Warn; Sherri Egan; Kurt von Osinski; Beverly Grimes; Heidi Frie; Bob Swoish; Linda Lynch; Bradley Sharp; Erick M., Jacob A., and Cecilia Frances; Diane Hazlewood; Marie Fardig; Bud Upper; Carla Maria Molina; Dave Morley; Kenny Bond; Gary Savas; Arlen Handberg; (child) Hazel Hammersley; (infant) JohnGabriel Bergeron; Marilyn Binggeli; Santiago Augustine Fernandez; Mary Jane Wickman; LaVonne Emerson; James Yncera; Charles Leo; Sheana Green; Deann Glynn; Dan Lang; Jack Scroggins; Joe Ortega; Dan Boland; Catherine Capaldi; Gregg Cassity; Virginia Dalcoe; Vera Barker; Chris Bordeleau; Bruce Vandelinder; Susan Womack; Helene ParlmsJackson; Maria Lozano; Carolyn Currie; Chelsea White; Mary Smart; Mimi McGilvray; Rick Schuler; Elaine Swieca; Bill Waters; Marge Porterfield; Aaron Byron; Bob Bower; Jacqueline Sylvestre; Kittie Fidermutz; Martina Peters; Dillon Tunney; Barbara Pogorzelski; Sherry Estrella; Chase Dobson; Loretta Payne; Barbara Knight; Suzanne Shaefer.
