Sacred Heart Catholic Church Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ October 20, 2019

Reflection from the Pastor: November 1st is the Church’s celebration of all the saints: those named in the calendar,

canonized or beatified, and the great multitude of those who enjoy the beatific vision

in heaven. It is a Holy Day of Obligation which means that all the faithful are

obliged to celebrate Holy Mass unless for serious reason. Please plan ahead.

A TEACHING ON: THE HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION

We all try to establish an “everyday routine” for ourselves which in turn helps

us make the most of our time. For most of us, we use our work schedules to know

when we have time for things like family, fun, sleep, vacations, sports, etc. But

there are certain days of the year where we throw out the routine to celebrate

special occasions (holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). We commemorate

them because they were important days in our life (“my life changed that day”, “I

got the greatest gift of all”). We change our schedule on these days in order to do

something extraordinary. For example: on the day of an Wedding Anniversary

(1) we might arrange to go to work late so that we could spend extra time together

in the morning to have breakfast; (2) we could arrange to leave work early so that

we could spend an entire afternoon together and go somewhere special for dinner;

(3) we might take the entire day off.

In a very similar way, there are days of the year where Church throws out the

normal routine and celebrates special occasions. We call them the Holy Days of

Obligation and they are opportunities we make to commemorate certain events of

our history and celebrate our relationship with God.

Holy Days of Obligation are considered grave matter and so to intentionally not

participate in Mass or not have a serious reason for being absent is to put one’s

self in mortal sin. If you have questions about whether or not you have a serious

reason, please feel free to email or call me. The pastor, who has the care for souls

and authority, can issue a dispensation (permission to be absent from Mass).

Meditación del Párroco: El 1o. de noviembre es la celebración en la Iglesia de todos los santos: aquellos nombrados en el calendario, canonizados o beatificados, y la gran multitud de ellos quienes disfrutan de la visión de beatificación en el cielo. Es un Día Santo de Obligación, lo que significa que los fieles están obligados a celebrar la Santa Misa a menos que tengan una razón seria. Por favor planéenlo con tiempo. Una lección de: El Dia Santo de Obligación. Todos nosotros tratamos de establecer una "rutina diaria" para nosotros y lo que se convierte en ayudarnos a hacer el mejor uso de nuestro tiempo. Para la mayoría de nosotros, tenemos nuestros horarios de trabajo para saber cuando tenemos tiempo para la otras cosas como la familia, diversiones, dormir, vacaciones, deportes, etc. Pero hay ciertos días del año en que nosotros no seguimos la rutina para celebrar ocasiones especiales (días festivos, cumpleaños, aniversarios, etc.). Nosotros los conmemoramos porque son días importantes en nuestra vida ("mi vida cambio ese día", "recibí el regalo más grande de todos"). Nosotros cambiamos nuestro horario esos días con el fin de hacer algo extraordinario. Por ejemplo: en el día de nuestro aniversario de bodas (1) posiblemente nos las arreglemos para ir más tarde al trabajo para poder pasar tiempo extra juntos en la mañana para tener juntos el desayuno; (2) podemos hacer arreglos para salir del trabajo más temprano para podamos pasar toda la tarde juntos o quizás ir a algún lugar especial para comer (3) o tal vez nos tomemos todo el día libre. En una forma muy similar, Hay días del año en donde la Iglesia se sale de su rutina normal y celebra ocasiones especiales. Nosotros les llamamos Días Santos de Obligación y hay oportunidades en que hacemos la conmemoración de ciertos eventos en nuestra historia y celebramos nuestra relación con Dios. Los Días Santos de Obligación son considerados asunto serio y es así que intencionalmente el no participar en la Misa sin tener serías razones para estar ausente nos pone a nosotros en pecado mortal. Si ustedes tienen preguntas respecto si ustedes tienen o no razones serias, por favor siéntanse en libertad de enviarme un correo o llamarme. El pastos es quien tiene el cuidado de las almas y la autoridad, y puede emitir una dispensa (permiso para estar ausente de la misa).
