From Predicament to Living Hope – Part 1
I remember from my studies in philosophy in college, one of the
existentialist philosophers saying that to be human is to be in a predicament. There are several ways to understand this remark. It certainly includes the fact that human life is beset with problems. We all have problems and challenges that we face from day to day. There is no one who lives a problem free life. And it seems like no sooner have we resolved one problem than another one rushes in to take its place. We have problems with our homes: the roof leaks, the water heater broke, the next door neighbor’s kid hit a baseball through the window. We have problems with our jobs: we’re overworked and underpaid, the boss promoted someone else, the company is downsizing. We have problems with our relationships: our spouses don’t understand us, our in-laws are overbearing and too demanding; our children are rebellious. And so on. But it goes much deeper than all of that. The existentialist philosopher is also saying that the very nature of human existence involves being in a predicament. Our very survival from day to day or even from moment to moment is by no means guaranteed. The very real possibility of certain and eventual death looms over all of us at all times. And to a certain extent that is beyond our control. But to a great extent, what we do, and the choices we make have a direct impact on our survival. That is where the real predicament lies. We live with all these problems. And that is not to say that life is nothing but problems. Of course we know satisfaction and joy and happiness and love and success and fun and leisure and peace of mind. But no philosopher ever said that to be human is to be satisfied, or joyous or happy or successful or at peace. And I doubt anyone else would say so, either. To be human is to be in a huge predicament. That is because there is something fundamentally wrong with human existence. Something is “out of kilter”. ‘Out of kilter’ is a phrase I recall one of my professors using. Creation is tainted. Something is rotten in the State of Denmark. Human nature is warped, bent. We somehow know that things in life, in the world and in ourselves individually are not how they ought to be. For us in this world that is the ultimate nature of reality. To be continued . . .

Del predicamento a la esperanza viva – 1ª Parte Recuerdo durante mis estudios de filosofía en la universidad, uno de los filósofos existencialistas que dice que ser humano es estar en una situación difícil. Hay varias formas de entender este comentario. Ciertamente incluye el hecho de que la vida humana está plagada de problemas. Todos tenemos problemas y desafíos que enfrentamos día a día. No hay nadie que viva una vida libre de problemas. Y parece que tan pronto como hemos resuelto un problema, otro se apresura a ocupar su lugar. Tenemos problemas en nuestra casa: el techo gotea, el calentador de agua se rompió, el hijo del vecino de al lado golpeó una pelota de béisbol y rompió la ventana. Tenemos problemas en nuestro trabajo: estamos sobrecargados de trabajo y mal pagados, el jefe promovió a otra persona, la compañía está reduciendo su personal. Tenemos problemas en nuestras relaciones: nuestros cónyuges no nos entienden, nuestros suegros son dominantes y demasiado exigentes; Nuestros hijos son rebeldes. Y así. Pero va mucho más profundo que todo eso. El filósofo existencialista también dice que la naturaleza misma de la existencia humana implica estar en una situación difícil. Nuestra supervivencia del día a día o incluso de un momento a otro no está garantizada. La posibilidad muy real de muerte segura y eventual se cierne sobre todos nosotros en todo momento. Y hasta cierto punto, eso está más allá de nuestro control. Pero en gran medida, lo que hacemos y las elecciones que hacemos tienen un impacto directo en nuestra supervivencia. Ahí es donde radica la situación real. Vivimos con todos estos problemas. Y eso no quiere decir que la vida no sea más que problemas. Por supuesto, conocemos satisfacción, alegría, felicidad, amor, éxito, diversión, ocio y tranquilidad. Pero ningún filósofo dijo que ser humano es estar satisfecho, gozoso, feliz, exitoso o en paz. Y dudo que alguien más lo diga tampoco. Ser humano es estar en una situación difícil. Eso es porque hay algo fundamentalmente malo con la existencia humana. Algo está "fuera de lugar". "Fuera de lugar" es una frase que recuerdo que usaba uno de mis profesores. La creación está contaminada. Algo está podrido en el Estado de Dinamarca. La naturaleza humana está deformada, doblada. De alguna manera sabemos que las cosas en la vida, en el mundo y en nosotros mismos individualmente no son como deberían ser. Para nosotros en este mundo esa es la última naturaleza de la realidad. Continuará. . .

Give in thanksgiving. “The nuns left lasting impressions on me,” writes a donor. “I shall always be grateful for my Catholics education.” Please join in thanking the thousands of senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests who worked tirelessly to educate the young and serve those in need. Next week’s second collection is for the Retirement Fund for Religious, which helps hundreds of religious communities care for aging members. Please give generously.
Done en acción de gracias. “Las monjas me dejaron huellas para siempre”, escribe una donante. “Siempre daré las gracias por mi educación católica.” Agradezcamos a los miles de miembros mayores en comunidades de religiosas, religiosos y sacerdotes de órdenes católicas que laboraron incansablemente para educar a los jóvenes y servir a los necesitados. La segunda colecta de la semana próxima se destinará al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos, que ayuda a cientos de comunidades religiosas a cuidar a sus miembros ancianos. Les rogamos que sean generosos.

Introducing the Mother Cabrini Center at Mount Sacred Heart Forming International Religious Sisters
for Catholic Schools
We are recreating the landscape of Catholic Education in San Antonio with a pioneering concept! The Catholic schools have experienced a decreased number of Religious Sisters in the school system. The new vision of the Mother Cabrini Center will start with bringing back
the Religious Sisters to the Classrooms. Educated Religious Sisters from other countries will participate in a focused formation program at MSH with the goal of supporting the Sisters in their transition as educators in American Catholic Schools. Renewing our schools with the presence of Religious Sisters will provide students with an excellent education with a global understanding and immersion into other cultures and viewpoints. Help lead the charge of change for a new model that includes a global community and enhanced education! Please join with us to achieve our goal.

BooksToBorrow from the Notre Dame Parish Library are available in the narthex of the church, near the bell tower door. Genia Schuler reviewed a recent book from our new Pope. The Joy of the Gospel: Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis would be exciting reading even if it weren’t such a significant document, especially for ecumenical affairs. British Methodist church historian David Carter says, “Never before have I read a document from the Roman magisterium, either papal or conciliar, which has so illuminated my own particular tradition and contributed insights that need to be noted and assimilated by it today. ... One cannot speak more highly of a teaching document from another church. ...[This document] has been granted to us by the Holy Spirit in His working within our separated traditions, a grace given despite the serious sin of schism. ...[It is a document] which, in its core practical teaching on mission, pastoral ministry and social justice, could be and should be affirmed by the other major communions and their leaders and responsible synods.” We who are Catholic owe it to ourselves to get familiar with this document to speak to our Protestant neighbors and family members.
Please pray for those who have died, and have gone to their eternal rest with the Lord, especially for Graciela Límon. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

TAKE2 SAN ANTONIO PILGRIMAGE You are invited to join Jerry Usher and Debbie Georgianni, Co-Hosts of Take2 with Jerry and Debbie, an EWTN Caller driven radio show*, on a pilgrimage to San Antonio, Texas.
The dates for this are December 6th, 7th and 8th, beginning the evening of Friday the 6th and concluding around noon on Sunday the 8th. Please come join us for all or part of this pilgrimage.
This is an informal pilgrimage, which means, among other things, that there is no cost to you to be a part of it beyond you own travel, lodging, parking, and meal expenses.
All venues on this pilgrimage are free to visit with the exception of a possible, optional, Riverboat cruise ride down the San Antonio River.
A Shrine, a Cathedral, and a Basilica, are all included in this Pilgrimage to a city over 300 years old, rich in Catholic heritage and history. San Antonio was named in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua.
Venues include the Alamo, San Fernando Cathedral, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Little Flower, the Shrine of Saint Padre Pio, as well as the world famous San Antonio Riverwalk.
Many of the churches have 1st degree relics in them from multiple saints to include, Saint John Paul II, Saint Padre Pio, and Saint Therese of the Little Flower.
A group block of discounted hotel rooms for the Pilgrims to stay at is in the works.
For additional information please go to Jerry and Debbie’s website, www.jerryanddebbie.com , under the Pilgrimage section for additional details.
