3 PASTOR S MESSAGE 3 Instruction on Cremation: The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith promulgated an Instruction, Ad resurgendum cum Christo, on October 25, 2016, on the reverent treatment of cremated remains. The document includes some specific guidance on the proper disposition of cremated remains, and clearly reaffirms the Church s strong preference for the actual burial of the Christian deceased. The document is a valuable articulation of the Church s teaching and the reasoning behind it, here some of its teaching: The ecclesiastical legislation on the cremation of cadavers is regulated by the Code of Canon Law, which states: The Church earnestly recommends that the pious custom of burying the bodies of the deceased be observed; nevertheless, the Church does not prohibit cremation unless it was chosen for reasons contrary to Christian doctrine. Here it is necessary to reveal that, despite this rule, the practice of cremation is significantly widespread also within the Catholic Church. With regard to the practice of conserving ashes, no specific canon law exists. For this reason, some episcopal conferences have addressed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, raising troubling questions regarding the practices of conserving a funerary urn in the home or in places other than the cemetery, and especially that of dispersing ashes in nature. After consultation with the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts and numerous Episcopal Conferences and Synods of Bishops of the Eastern Churches, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith considered it appropriate to publish a new Instruction with a dual aim: to reiterate the doctrinal and pastoral reasons for the preference for the burial of the dead, and secondly, to issue rules for guidance on the conservation of ashes in the case of cremation. The Church, first of all, continues to recommend strongly that the bodies of the deceased be buried in the cemetery or in another sacred place. In the remembrance of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord, inhumation continues to be the most suitable form for expressing faith and the hope in bodily resurrection. Furthermore, the burial in cemeteries or other sacred places responds adequately to the piety and respect due to the bodies of the deceased faithful. Taking care of the bodies of the departed, the Church confirms her faith in resurrection and distances herself from attitudes and rites that see death as the definitive annulment of the person, a phase in the process of reincarnation or as a fusion of the soul with the universe. If for legitimate reasons the decision is made to cremate a cadaver, the ashes of the faithful must be conserved in a sacred place, that is, in a cemetery or in a church, or in an area specifically dedicated for the purpose. The conservation of ashes in the home is not permitted. Only in the case of grave and exceptional circumstances, in agreement with the episcopal conference or the Synod of bishops, may permission be granted for the conservation of ashes in the domestic environment. To avoid any form of pantheistic, naturalistic or nihilistic misunderstanding, it is not permitted to scatter ashes in the air, on earth, in water or in any other way, or to convert the cremated ashes into any form of commemorative item.

Khi ấy, Chúa Giêsu phán cùng các môn đệ rằng: "Các con là muối đất. Nếu muối đã lạt, người ta biết lấy gì mà ướp cho mặn lại? Muối đó không còn sử dụng vào việc chi nữa, chỉ còn ném ra ngoài cho người ta chà đạp lên nó. "Các con là sự sáng thế gian. Một thành phố xây dựng trên núi, không thể che giấu được. Và người ta cũng không thắp đèn rồi để dưới đáy thùng, nhưng đặt nó trên giá đèn, hầu soi sáng cho mọi người trong nhà. Sự sáng của các con cũng phải chiếu giãi ra trước mặt thiên hạ, để họ xem thấy những việc lành của các con mà ngợi khen Cha các con trên trời". Đó là lời Chúa.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd This week in the Atrium, one of the groups pondered the Scripture of the Presenta on in the Temple.; celebrated this past Thursday, February 2 nd. A Jewish family custom was to make two observances related to the birth of a baby: 1. to name the baby at the age of 8 days old and 2. to dedicate the firstborn son to God. The Presenta on is about the second, though the naming day of the baby is men oned. The first celebra on is called today, Holy Name Day. This presenta on helps the child understand the following: To help the child fall more in love with the Good Shepherd To realize that the Holy Spirit speaks to people. God keeps his promises to those who are faithful and wait. God is present to help us in the form of the Holy Spirit. The dedication and trust Simeon and Anna had to the Temple and with God. Simeon trusted that he would see the Light of Salvation before his death and Anna never left the Temple, fasting and praying without ceasing. Both told everyone they met about the Light of Salvation to come.

7 QUINTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO 5 DE FEBRERO 2017 Doctrina Semanal Miércoles 8 de Febrero :15pm - Cena en el Jesuit Hall 6:00pm - Clases en distintas aulas Grados Pre-K Fitz Building Confirmación - 4to piso Adultos - Xavier Hall Room #302 7:15pm - Oración comunitaria en la Iglesia. MI PEQUEÑA LUZ Cuando éramos niños cantábamos efusivamente la canción Mi pequeña luz (This Little Light of Mine). La letra de la canción, desde luego, está basada en el Evangelio de hoy, en este estamos llamados como discípulos a ser la sal y la luz del mundo. Los niños no tienen dificultad para compartir su fe; solo es cuando crecemos que preferimos esconder nuestra luz bajo un tazón porque nuestra cultura tiende a no enfatizar el discipulado. El mensaje en las lecturas de esta semana es claro: para poder dar gloria a Dios por medio del discipulado, debemos mostrar la luz de Cristo en nuestras palabras y obras. No es algo fácil para adultos inhibidos. A menudo podemos pensar en la sal y la luz en términos de lo que hacemos por los demás, pero puede ser tan importante como el no hacer nada, ya sea como enojarse con un desconocido en la carretera o decir una broma ofensiva.
