October 22, 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR W orld Mission Sunday is celebrated on Sunday October 22 this year. Because of our baptism into the life and love of Jesus, each of us shares in the mission of the Church. Jesus described that mission of the Church as He ascended into heaven: Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. (Matthew 28.19) The Canadian bishops have stated that all parishes should take seriously their responsibility of all believers to spread the Gospel. They suggested that prayer and acts of self-denial to deepen that prayer be offered for the missionary work of God s people. As we appreciate the Church s mission and the call for each of us to be part of it, may we financially support with generosity the World Mission Day second collection. The Vatican has a group that spreads out the proceeds of this special collection to countries around the world to support missionary work. Canada receives some of this collection for our parishes in the North and in isolated places. Some people have asked why we offer the Rosary near Mass time. One reason, of course, is that there s more people that are in the cathedral around that time. Praying together reminds us that God saves us through our participation in the faith community and not as independent free lancers. Another reason is explained by Bishop Peter J. Elliott, a very wise liturgical expert. He explains that the Rosary is not primarily a Marian devotion. He says it is a Christ centered method of meditation in the Marian form. He further explains that the Rosary takes us through the saving mysteries ie the Incarnation, the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ with and through His mother Mary. Now in the Eucharist, the mysteries of joy, sorrow and glory are made present in the Lord s sacrifice. So Bishop Elliott says that the Rosary in itself can be related to the Eucharist. Our heart is warmed up to cherish the service and sacrifice of Jesus as we pray the Rosary together. Fr. Galvon St Paul encouraged Christians to pray that the Lord s message may spread quickly, and be received with honour. (2 Thessalonians 3.1). Our celebration of World Mission Sunday helps us to do that. May we promote missions every other day as well for God s glory and the salvation of every soul! In our Catholic culture, October is the month of the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary. We are encouraged as individuals, families and parishes to pray in this way. 3

Escríbenos a nuestro email: comunidadhispanahrc@gmail.com Verdad y amor son las dos columnas basilares de la vida de la comunidad cristiana. Por este motivo recordaba que «la Iglesia del amor es tambie n la Iglesia de la verdad, entendida ante todo como fidelidad al Evangelio encomendado por el Sen or Jesu s a los suyos [...]. Pero la familia de los hijos de Dios, para vivir en la unidad y en la paz, necesita alguien que la conserve en la verdad y la guíe con discernimiento sabio y autorizado: es lo que esta llamado a hacer el ministerio de los Apo stoles. Aquí llegamos a un punto importante. La Iglesia es totalmente del Espíritu, pero tiene una estructura, la sucesio n aposto lica, a la que compete la responsabilidad de garantizar la permanencia de la Iglesia en la verdad donada por Cristo, de la que deriva tambie n la capacidad del amor [...]. Los Apo stoles y sus sucesores son, por consiguiente, los custodios y los testigos autorizados del depo sito de la verdad entregada a la Iglesia, como son tambie n los ministros de la caridad; estos dos aspectos van juntos [...]. La verdad y el amor son dos caras del mismo don que viene de Dios y, gracias al ministerio aposto lico, es custodiado en la Iglesia y llega a nosotros hasta la actualidad». Por tanto, el Concilio Vaticano II subraya que «nuestro respeto y amor deben extenderse tambie n a aquellos que en materia social, política e incluso religiosa sienten y actu an de modo diferente al nuestro; y cuanto ma s íntimamente comprendamos con humanidad y amor su manera de pensar, ma s fa cilmente podremos dialogar con ellos». Pero, nos advierte el mismo Concilio, «este amor y esta benignidad no deben de ninguna manera hacernos indiferentes ante la verdad y el bien».
