Archdiocese of Chicago Annual Appeal 2017
Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
——————————————-
Arquediócesis de Chicago Campaña Catolica Annual 2017
Ama a Tu Prójimo Como a Ti Mismo
Please spend some me this week reflec ng on the Annual Catholic Appeal brochure that you received in last week’s bulle n. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-
me special collec on. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gi payable in installments. The ACA theme, “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself,” was selected to remind us that our contribu ons to the Annual Catholic Appeal enable the funded ministries and services to share God’s love with many others in our parish, our Archdiocese, and throughout the world. Each pledge makes a difference because all parishes par cipate in the campaign and the gi s of many enable our Archdiocese to deliver needed ministries and services. A er our parish goal of $17,456 is reached in cash, 100% of any addi onal funds come back to our parish to help to fund our needs. If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next weekend. For those of you that did not receive a mailing or have not had me to respond to it, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend. Thank you for your prayerful considera on and generous response.
Por favor tómese un empo esta semana para reflexionar sobre el contenido del folleto de la Campaña Católica Anual que recibió en el bole n de la semana pasada. Por favor, recuerde que la Campaña Católica Anual es muy diferente de una colecta especial que ocurre una sola vez. Esta es una campaña de promesas de dona vos en la cual usted puede hacer un dona vo a pagar en plazos. El lema de la CCA 2017,"Ama a tu prójimo como a mismo", fue elegido para recordarnos que nuestras contribuciones a la Campaña Católica Anual permiten a los ministerios y servicios financiados compar r el amor de Dios con muchas otras personas en nuestra parroquia, en nuestra Arquidiócesis y en todo el mundo.
Sin embargo, cada promesa de dona vo hace una diferencia, porque todas las parroquias par cipan en la campaña y los dona vos de muchos permiten a nuestra arquidiócesis ofrecer los ministerios y los servicios que son tan necesarios.
Después de alcanzar nuestra meta parroquial de $ 17,456 en efec vo, el 100% de cualquier fondo adicional que se recaude regresará a nuestra parroquia para ayudar a cubrir nuestras necesidades.
Si usted ya recibió un sobre de promesa en el correo, por favor llénelo y devuélvalo por correo, o tráigalo con usted a misa el próximo fin de semana. Para aquellos que no recibieron la carta o no han tenido empo de responder, conduciremos nuestro proceso de solicitud de dona vos en las bancas durante todas las misas del próximo fin de semana.
Gracias por su devota consideración y generosa respuesta.
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 12, 2017 Page Three
Leyendo vs. Escuchando en la Misa Cuando yo estaba creciendo, el sacerdote de-cía la misa silenciosamente. No importaba por-
que estaba en la n y nadie podía entender lo que estaba diciendo. No había ningún lector, cantor o diá-cono. La mejor manera de par cipar fue leer una tra-ducción al español de lo que estaba diciendo. La gen-te tenía un misal con una columna en español y otra en la n, completo con imágenes de donde el sacer-dote estaba de pie, por lo que se podía hacer una conjetura razonable por donde iba recitando las ora-ciones. Leías lo que él estaba leyendo y vocalizabas las oraciones. No fue muy gra ficante, y muchos re-nunciaron y simplemente dijeron el rosario en vez de intentar seguir la misa. Recuerdo lo emocionado que estaba cuando todo esto cambió en 1964. La Misa se rezó en nuestra pro-pia lengua. Se dijo en voz alta. Teníamos lectores. Cantábamos los himnos populares. Todos par cipá-bamos ac vamente por primera vez. Sin embargo, mucha gente no podía romper su viejo hábito. Esta-ban tan acostumbrados a la lectura de la Misa, que con nuaron haciéndolo, aunque ahora era audible e inteligible por primera vez. Todavía hoy, muchas per-sonas leen las Escrituras mientras los lectores y diá-conos la proclaman. Algunos quieren leer y seguir vocalizado mientras el sacerdote está proclamando las oraciones. Los viejos hábitos son di ciles de mo-rir. Por supuesto, si alguien ene una discapacidad audi va, o el sistema de sonido no está funcionando bien, ene sen do leer lo que no se oye. Pero si us-ted puede oír bien, sugiero no leer las lecturas, y tra-tar de escuchar en su lugar. No recibimos un guión escrito cuando queremos ver una película o escuchar un programa de televi-sión. Cuando leemos un texto, diseñamos la parte analí ca de nuestro cerebro. Esto está bien si la com-prensión intelectual fuera el obje vo. Pero en la litur-gia nos sirve mejor acoplar la parte crea va de nues-tro cerebro que nos permite escuchar y ver mucho más allá que la palabra impresa. Esto es lo que se su-pone que ocurre en el culto. Me gustaría sugerir que intente escuchar sin leer los textos. Usted puede ver el bosque en vez de los árboles. Usted puede escu-char la canción en lugar de simplemente escuchar las notas. Usted puede estar más presente en nuestro culto.
Reading vs. Listening at Mass When I was growing up the priest said the Mass silently. It did not ma er because it was in La n and no one could understand what he was saying. There was no lector, cantor or deacon. The best way to par cipate was to read an English transla on of what he was saying. People had had a hardcover missal or paper missale e with English in one column and La n in the other, complete with pictures of where the priest was standing, so you could make a reasonable guess of where he was in reci ng his prayers. You read what he was reading and subvocalized his prayers. It was not very sa sfying, and many gave up and simply said the rosary instead of trying to follow the Mass. I remember how thrilled I was when all this changed in 1964. Mass was prayed in our own language. It was said aloud. We had lectors. We sang popular hymns. We all par cipated ac vely for the first me. However, many people could not break their old habit. They were so used to reading the Mass, they con nued to do so, even though it was now audible and intelligible for the first me. Even today many people read the Scripture pericopes while the lectors and deacons proclaim them. Some want to read and s ll subvocalize what the priest is proclaiming in his prayers. Old habits die hard. Of course, if someone has a hearing impairment, or the sound system is not working right, it makes sense to read what they cannot hear. But if you can hear okay, I would suggest ignore turning to the page where the readings are, and try listening instead. We are not given a wri en script when we watch a movie or listen to a television broadcast. When we read a text, we engage the analy cal part of our brain. This is good if intellectual comprehension was our goal. But in liturgy it serves us be er to engage the imagina ve part of our brain which enables us to hear and see much deeper than just the printed word. This is what is suppose happen in worship. I would like to suggest you try listening without reading the texts. You may see the forest instead of the trees. You may hear the song instead of just hearing the notes. You may find yourself much more engaged in our worship.

What is Missionary Spirit? In 2013 our Missionary Spirit Team grew out the Parish Transforma on process. We were reminded that by virtue of our Bap sm and Confirma on we are all called to be missionaries, whether that be where we live, where we worship or where we work. We are called to reach out, as Jesus did, to help the poor, the sick and the sinner. The Missionary Spirit Team works to find service opportuni es for our parishioners. Our goal is to give all parishioners an opportunity every month to serve someone in need. We look for opportuni es to serve those in our parish, our local community and beyond. We have helped the hungry and the ill; our parish and our environment; children and the elderly. St. Barbara's Missionary Spirit Team is planning some great service opportuni es for 2017! We hope there is something on the calendar that catches your a en on and gets you thinking about how you can help. More details will be posted in the bulle n as each event approaches. If you'd like to get an e-mail update about service projects (this is a great idea for families with Confirma on candidates!), contact us at [email protected]. See website for monthly events.
