LITURGY MATTERS Treasures From Our Tradition Eucharistic Prayer II is a popular choice for Mass since it is both simple in structure and short. It is written with a preface, which is the section after the dialogue “The Lord be with you . . . Lift up your hearts . . . Let us give thanks,” which introduces all the Eu-charistic Prayers. The preface states the reason for the eu-charistic assembly on that occasion, and there are dozens of them covering almost every imaginable gathering for prayer, some specific to feasts, others for Masses for the dead or for other needs. The preface attached to the second Eucharistic Prayer may be dropped in favor of a more ap-propriate choice, especially one of the prefaces for week-days. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says that Eucharistic Prayer II is best suited for weekdays or “special circumstances.” In practice, however, it has be-come the common Sunday prayer because of its brevity and its comfortable familiarity. It also includes an optional phrase for adding the name of a deceased person remem-bered in the Mass, and therefore is often prayed at funer-als. Article 50 of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy specified that the rites are to be simplified and restored “to the vigor they had in the tradition of the Fathers.” The re-birth of this ancient Roman prayer is a worthy response to this call.
Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe Más del 40% de la población católica en Estados Uni-dos es de origen hispano y sólo el 6% de los sacerdotes son hispanos. Hay algo que está mal en las cifras. Parte del problema es que en los seminarios estadounidenses no saben qué hacer con las vocaciones y culturas hispanas. Por otra parte, los hispanos deseamos que nuestros hijos tengan mejor vida y la vocación sacerdotal no constituye un lugar privilegiado en la escala social. Ciertamente, había un tiempo en que los sacerdotes se trataban con mucho respeto, ya no. Últimamente la esca-sez de sacerdotes y los escándalos en la Iglesia han hecho que el sacerdocio pierda mucho de su encanto. La vida sacerdotal se ha hecho muy difícil. Hoy día el joven que busca el sacerdocio lo busca por servicio y vocación, no por prestigio o posición social. El sacerdocio es un apostolado que se recibe con el sa-cramento del Orden. Ser ordenado es recibir órdenes, es decir, ser obediente. Hoy más que nunca, el sacerdote está llamado a la misma obediencia de Jesucristo, obediencia que lo llevó a la cruz y a la resurrección. Oremos por nuestros sacerdotes para que su entrega sea total.

Centering Prayer Group Ongoing Program: Centering Prayer Group with Greg Johnson and Herb Kaighan. Second and Fourth Wednes-days of each month, 7:30-9PM. Cen-tering Prayer is a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relation-ship. It is a movement beyond conver-sation to communion and union with God. It prepares us for the gift of con-templation. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts new light & depth of meaning on all types of prayer. Come and pray with us. Your donation allows us to continue this ongoing program. For more info call 310-377-4867 or access: http://www.maryjoseph.org.

Religion Defined I do not know how philosophers may ultimately define religion; but from Micah to James it has been defined as service to one’s fellow human rendered by following the great rule of justice and mercy, of wisdom and righteousness.
—Theodore Roosevelt
Definición de Religión No sé cómo los filósofos finalmente definan la religión; pero desde Miqueas hasta Santiago ha sido definida como un servicio a nuestros semejantes realizado en seguimiento a la gran regla de la justicia y la misericordia, de la sabiduría y la rectitud.
