October 8, 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR I n Canada, we celebrate Thanksgiving day this year on Monday, October 9th. Most people plan get-togethers on this week-end with family and friends. It is important to thank people who care for us, assist us and support us. Speaking words of gratitude to each other and showing it by our actions deepens and strengthens our relationships. On the spiritual level, being grateful and thankful to God is very important. Psalm 92.1 says it is good to give thanks to the Lord, always and for everything. St. Vincent de Paul often said the grateful heart doesn t want for anything because you cannot be both grateful and unhappy at the same time. On this Thanksgiving weekend, let us rightly give thanks to God for the blessings He gives us: family, material goods, our Catholic faith and parish, health, our citizenship, the forgiveness of sins and other graces from God. The Eucharist is the greatest prayer of thanksgiving we give thanks to the Lord at Mass for all He has done for us especially His saving death and resurrection. May we also resolve to be even more committed to show our gratitude to God by sharing our blessings with other people. The 2017 Project Advance appeal is an excellent way for us as members of the Archdiocese to share God s gifts to us with others who have real needs. Our Cathedral parish benefits as well through the rebate program which returns offerings to Holy Rosary once our share of the Archdiocesan program is covered. If you have participated already this year in the Project Advance appeal thank you! If you have not so far, we plan to send you a letter soon inviting you to make a sacrificial offering to Project Advance. When you receive it please prayerfully consider your participation. Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving weekend... Fr. Galvon A Thanksgiving Day Prayer F ather in Heaven, Creator of all and source of all goodness and love, please look kindly upon us and receive our heartfelt gratitude in this time of giving thanks. Thank you for all the graces and blessings. You have bestowed upon us, spiritual and temporal: our faith and religious heritage. Our food and shelter, our health, the loves we have for one another, our family and friends. Dear Father, in Your infinite generosity, please grant us continued graces and blessings throughout the coming year. This we ask in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you forever and ever. The Holy Eucharist is the supreme way in which we thank God for all His many blessings. Amen 3

Escríbenos a nuestro email: comunidadhispanahrc@gmail.com CATECISMO DE LA IGLESIA CATOLICA Por qué el Verbo se hizo carne 456 Con el Credo Niceno-Constantinopolitano respondemos confesando: "Por nosotros los hombres y por nuestra salvacio n bajo del cielo, y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarno de María la Virgen y se hizo hombre". 457 El Verbo se encarno para salvarnos reconcilia ndonos con Dios: "Dios nos amo y nos envio a su Hijo como propiciacio n por nuestros pecados" (1 Jn 4, 10)."El Padre envio a su Hijo para ser salvador del mundo" (1 Jn 4, 14). "El se manifesto para quitar los pecados" (1 Jn 3, 5): Nuestra naturaleza enferma exigía ser sanada; desgarrada, ser restablecida; muerta, ser resucitada. Habíamos perdida la posesio n del bien, era necesario que se nos devolviera. Encerrados en las tinieblas, hacia falta que nos llegara la luz; estando cautivos, espera bamos un salvador; prisioneros, un socorro; esclavos, un libertador. No tenían importancia estos razonamientos? No merecían conmover a Dios hasta el punto de hacerle bajar hasta nuestra naturaleza humana para visitarla ya que la humanidad se encontraba en un estado tan miserable y tan desgraciado? (San Gregorio de Nisa, or. catech. 15). 460 El Verbo se encarno para hacernos "partícipes de la naturaleza divina" (2 P 1, 4): "Porque tal es la razo n por la que el Verbo se hizo hombre, y el Hijo de Dios, Hijo del hombre: Para que el hombre al entrar en comunio n con el Verbo y al recibir así la filiacio n divina, se convirtiera en hijo de Dios" (S. Ireneo, haer., 3, 19, 1). "Porque el Hijo de Dios se hizo hombre para hacernos Dios" (S. Atanasio, Inc., 54, 3). "Unigenitus Dei Filius, suae divinitatis volens nos esse participes, naturam nostram assumpsit, ut homines deos faceret factus homo" ("El Hijo Unige nito de Dios, queriendo hacernos participantes de su divinidad, asumio nuestra naturaleza, para que, habie ndose hecho hombre, hiciera dioses a los hombres") (Santo Toma s de A., opusc 57 in festo Corp. Chr., 1).
