EL SACRAMENTO DE LA CONFESION “El perdón se pide, se pide a otro, y en la Confesión pedi-mos el perdón a Jesús. El perdón no es fruto de nuestros esfuerzos, sino que es un regalo, es un don del Espíritu Santo, que nos llena con el lavado de la misericordia y de la gracia que fluye incesantemente desde el corazón abierto de par en par de Cristo crucificado y resucitado.” Papa Francisco, Audiencia 19/02/2014

Confesarnos, ¿por qué? La Confesión es un sacramento instituido por Jesucristo para perdonar los pecados, cuando dijo a sus apóstoles: “A quienes perdonéis los pecados, les serán perdonados; a quienes retengáis los pecados, les serán retenidos.” Jn, 20,23. Porque la vida nueva que nos fue dada por Él en el bau-tismo puede debilitarse y perderse a causa del pecado. Por ello, Cristo ha querido que la Iglesia continuase su obra de curación y de salvación mediante este sacramen-to. Por la absolución sacramental del sacerdote, que actúa en nombre de Cristo, Dios concede al penitente el perdón y la paz, recupera la gracia por la que vive como hijo de Dios y puede llegar al cielo, la felicidad eterna. Cfr. Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, 1420-1421; 1426; 1446.

¿Qué es el pecado El pecado es una falta contra el amor verdadero para con Dios y para con el prójimo, a causa de un apego per-verso a ciertos bienes. Hiere la naturaleza del hombre y atenta contra la solidaridad humana. San Agustín lo ha definido como el “amor de sí hasta el desprecio de Dios”. Por esta exaltación orgullosa de sí, el pecado es diame-tralmente opuesto a la obediencia de Jesús que realiza la salvación (cfr. Flp 2, 6-9).

Los pecados se distinguen según su gravedad en mortal y venial. El pecado mortal destruye la caridad en el cora-

zón del hombre por una infracción grave de la ley de Dios; aparta al hombre de Dios, que es su fin últi-mo y su bienaventuranza, prefiriendo un bien infe-rior. El pecado venial deja subsistir la caridad, aun-que la ofende y la hiere. Para que un pecado sea mortal se requieren tres condicio-nes: una acción que tiene como objeto una materia grave, cometida con pleno conocimiento (plena conciencia) y deli-berado consentimiento. La materia grave es precisada por los Diez mandamientos según la respuesta de Jesús al joven rico: “No mates, no cometas adulterio, no robes, no levantes testimonio falso, no seas injusto, honra a tu padre y a tu madre” (Mc 10, 19). La gravedad de los pecados es mayor o menor: un asesinato es más grave que un robo. La cualidad de las personas lesionadas cuenta también: la violencia ejercida contra los padres es más grave que la ejercida contra un extraño. Se comete un pecado venial cuando no se observa en una materia leve la medida prescrita por la ley moral, o cuan-do se desobedece a la ley moral en materia grave, pero sin pleno conocimiento o sin entero consentimiento. El peca-do venial debilita la caridad; entraña un afecto desorde-nado a bienes creados; impide el progreso del alma en el ejercicio de las virtudes y la práctica del bien moral; me-rece penas temporales. El pecado venial deliberado y que permanece sin arrepentimiento, nos dispone poco a poco a cometer el pecado mortal. Cfr. Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, 1849-1864.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

Each year on Holy Saturday during the Easter Vigil, thousands are baptized into the Catholic Church in the United States. Parishes wel-come these new Catholics through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Listed below are some questions and answers about RCIA.

What are the steps of RCIA? Prior to beginning the RCIA process, an individual comes to some

knowledge of Jesus Christ, considers his or her relationship with Jesus Christ and is usually attracted in some way to the Catholic Church. This period is known as the Period of Evangelization and Precatechumen-ate. For some, this process involves a long period of searching; for others, a shorter time. Often, contact with people of faith and a per-sonal faith experience lead people to inquire about the Catholic Church. After a conversation with a priest, or RCIA director, the person, known as an "inquirer," may seek acceptance into the Order of Cate-chumens, through the Rite of Acceptance. During this Rite, the inquirer stands amidst the parish community and states that he or she wants to become a baptized member of the Catholic Church. The parish assem-bly affirms this desire and the inquirer becomes a Catechumen.

The Period of the Catechumenate can last for as long as several years or for a shorter time. It depends on how the person is growing in faith, what questions they encounter along the way, and how God leads them on this journey. During this time, the Catechumens consider what God is saying to them in the Scriptures, what changes in their life they need to make to respond to God's inspiration, and what Baptism in the Catholic Church means. When a Catechumen and the priest and the parish team working with him or her believes the person is ready to make a faith commitment to Jesus in the Catholic Church, the next step is the request for baptism and the celebration of the Rite of Election. Even before the Catechumens are baptized, they have a special rela-tionship to the Church.

The Rite of Election includes the enrollment of names of all the Cat-echumens seeking baptism at the coming Easter Vigil. Typically, on the first Sunday of Lent, the Catechumens, their sponsors and fami-lies gather at the cathedral church. The Catechumens public-ly express their desire for baptism to the diocesan bishop. Their names are recorded in a book and they are called the Elect.

The days of Lent are the final Period of Purification and Enlighten-ment leading up to the Easter Vigil. Lent is a period of preparation marked by prayer, study, and spiritual direction for the Elect, and prayers for them by the parish communities. The Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation takes place during the Easter Vigil Liturgy on Holy Saturday when the Elect receives the sacraments of Baptism, Con-firmation and Holy Eucharist. Now the person is fully initiated into the Catholic Church.

As a newly initiated Catholic, they continue their formation and education continue in the Period of the Post Baptismal Catechesis, which is also called Mystagogy. This period continues at least until Pentecost. During the period the newly baptized members reflect on their experi-ences at the Easter Vigil and continue to learn more about the Scrip-tures, the Sacraments, and the teachings of the Catholic Church. In ad-dition they reflect on how they will serve Christ and help in the Church's mission and outreach activities.

What is meant by coming into full communion with the Church? Coming into full communion with the Catholic Church describes the

process for entrance into the Catholic Church for already baptized Christians. In most cases, these individuals make a profession of faith but are not baptized again. To prepare for this reception, the people, who are called Candidates, usually participate in a formation program to help them understand and experience the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. Although some preparation may be with Catechu-mens preparing for baptism, the preparation for Candidates is differ-ent since they have already been baptized and committed to Jesus Christ, and many have also been active members of other Christian

communities. The Candidates may be received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil or at another Sunday during the year depending on pastoral circumstances and readiness of the Candidate.

What is the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday like? The Easter Vigil takes place on Holy Saturday, the evening before

Easter Sunday. This is the night that "shall be as bright as day" as pro-claimed by the Exsultet, an ancient church hymn as we joyfully antici-pate Christ's Resurrection The Holy Saturday Liturgy begins with the Service of Light, which includes the blessing of the new fire and the Paschal candle which symbolizes Jesus, the Light of the World. The second part consists of the Liturgy of the Word with a series of Scrip-ture readings. After the Liturgy of the Word, the Catechumens are presented to the parish community, who pray for them with the Litany of the Saints. Next, the priest blesses the water, placing the Easter or Paschal candle into the baptismal water. Those seeking Baptism then renounce sin and profess their faith after which they are baptized with the priest pronouncing the words, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

After the Baptism the newly baptized are dressed in white gar-ments and presented with a candle lighted from the Paschal Candle. They are then Confirmed by the priest or bishop who lays hands on their heads, and invokes the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He then anoints them with the oil called Sacred Chrism. The Mass continues with the newly baptized participating in the general intercessions and in bringing gifts to the altar. At Communion, the newly baptized receive the Eucharist, Christ's Body and Blood, for the first time.

What does the white robe symbolize? The newly baptized are dressed in a white garment after baptism

to symbolize that they are washed clean of sin and that they are called to continue to walk in this newness of life.

What does the candle symbolize? A small candle is lit from the Easter candle and given to the newly

baptized as a reminder to them always to walk as children of the Light and to be the light of Christ to the world.

What does the Sacred Chrism symbolize? The Sacred Chrism, or oil, is a sign of the gift of the Holy Spirit

being given to the newly baptized. It is also a sign of the close link between the mission of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, who comes to the recipient with the Father in Baptism.

Why was this ancient rite restored? It was restored in the Church to highlight the fact that the newly

baptized are received into a community of faith, which is challenged to realize that they too have become different because of this new life in the community.

Is there a ceremony or preparation for Catholics who never or sel-dom have practiced the faith?

For Catholics who have been Baptized, Confirmed and made First Communion but then drifted from the faith, the way they return is through the Sacrament of Penance. Catholics who were baptized but never received Confirmation and/or Eucharist also participate in a period of formation. This process of formation is completed with the reception of the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Communion often at the Easter Vigil or during the Easter Season.

What is the role of a godparent for an adult being baptized? Prior to the Rite of Election, theCatechumen may choose one or two

godparents, who will accompany the Catechumen on the day of Elec-tion, at the celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation, and during the Period of Mystagogy. They are called to show the Catechumens good example of the Christian life, sustain them in moments of hesitancy and anxiety, bear witness, and guide their progress in the baptismal life.

Join our Team for the Basilica Renovations

The Basilica will be restored the same way it was built: with a huge army of contributors of all sizes. Construction of the Basilica began with the groundbreaking on Oct. 15, 1929. Nine days later, the stock market crashed, beginning the Great Depression. The heroes of the Basilica’s story are those thousands who were devoted to the newly canonized Thérèse of Lisieux, the Lit-

tle Flower: they gave whatever they could, each contributing in some way. As you look around the interior of the Basilica, notice the plaques bearing the many names of those who gave at least $25 toward the construction costs. So many others gave in smaller amounts. Some 6,000 donors from all around the country came together in their faith and devotion. We ask each of you to consider what contribution only you can make: the person you invite to join this effort, the idea you propose, your own sacrificial gift, large or small.

The cost of construction for the Basilica was just under $300,000. It was as daunting a sum in those days as the amount we are fac-ing today to restore it. Raising that amount then was a miracle. Raising the sums needed now will only be accomplished through prayer, God’s power and the intercession of our patroness. Many joining together for this cause can be the miracle we need: w ith your help and that of others who are devoted to St. Thérèse around the country.

We are still looking for volunteer leadership and other heroes interested in contributing their wisdom, influence, and resources from among our parish community and beyond, to join forces with us for this exciting project. If you are interested in being included on our committees, please email Anna Migeon at amigeon@littleflowerbasilica.org.

SUBSCRIBE TO THE APOSTOLATE OF THE LITTLE FLOWER Are you interested in learning more about Carmelite spirituality? The Apostolate of the Little Flower is a nonprofit publication and ministry of the Province of St. Thérèse of the Discalced Carmelite Friars of San Antonio. Its purpose is to spread devotion to St. Thérèse of Lisieux, “The Little Flower.” Published quar-terly and sent out to approximately 2,000 subscribers, this publication includes articles from our friars on the spirituality of St. Thérèse and the Discalced Carmelites. It also shares news from the Basilica and the Province of St. Thérèse .

Established as part of our first apostolate as The Little Flower Magazine, this historic publication reached over 100,000 subscribers in 1923. Recognizing the great de-votion of the subscribers from all over the country, the fri-ars of the Province of St. Thérèse discovered their mis-sion: to honor Thérèse, prepare for her canonization in 1925, and build a national shrine in her honor.

The next issue is coming out soon, with a Lenten theme of St. John of the Cross. If you would like to subscribe to this publication, please email your name and address to gacosta@littleflowerbasilica.org and write “Apostolate” in the subject line. Subscription is free; donations are greatly appreciated to help with publication costs.
