Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Our Mission St. Charles is a Christ focused, diverse, family centered, Catholic community serving Imperial Beach and the South Bay. We believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and His saving grace received through the Sacraments. We believe in the Holy Catholic Church instituted by Jesus, the sanctity of life, the value of family, and lifelong Catholic education for all ages. We live to deepen our love of God, spread His Gospel and bring others to Christ. We are committed to a life of prayer, sacrifice, and service to those in need. With love, humility, and joyful obedience, we strive to be transformed and guided by the Holy Spirit until we are transformed in the eternal life of Heaven.

Daily Prayer For Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests; For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests; For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: The priest who baptized me; The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me; All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially_________). O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity. Amen By St. Therese of Lisieux

FEAST OF FAITH

What Is the Mass?

What is the Mass? There is no simple answer to that question. The Church uses many different images and terms to describe our most important prayer. The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist, a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is the Lord’s Supper. It is the Break-ing of the Bread. It is the memorial of the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection. It is the Holy Sacrifice, in which the sacrifice of Christ on the cross is perpetuated. It is the holy and divine liturgy, the sacred mysteries. It is the source and summit of our Christian lives, the new covenant, the work of the Holy Spirit, the paschal mystery. The many different words and images that we use when we speak of the Mass are not signs of confusion, but of wonder at what the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1328) calls the “inexhaustible richness” of the Eucha-rist. The Mass, our greatest prayer and our deepest mystery, is cele-

brated every day, many times a day, the world over. The Eucharist is both “bread from heaven” and “daily bread.” The Mass is our everyday miracle.

Nuestra Misión

San Carlos es una Iglesia enfocada en Cristo, diversa, centrada en la familia, sirviendo a la comunidad católica de Imperial Beach y South Bay. Creemos en la presencia verdadera de Jesucristo en la Eucaristía y Su Gracia salvadora recibida en los Sacramentos. Creemos en la Santa Iglesia Católica instituida por Jesús, en la santidad de la vida, el valor de la familia, y de la educación católica de toda la vida para todas las edades. Vivimos para profundizar nuestro amor a Dios, esparcir Su Evangelio y traer a otros a Cristo. Estamos comprometidos a una vida de oración, de sacrificio, y al servicio a aquellos más necesitados. Con amor, humildad, y alegre obedien-cia, nos esforzamos para ser transformados y para ser guiados por el Espíritu Santo hasta que seamos transfor-mados en la vida eterna en el Cielo.

Oración Diaria por los Sacerdotes

O Jesús, Te ruego por tus fieles sacerdotes. Por tus tibios e infieles sacerdotes; Por tus sacerdotes que están con nosotros o en tierra de misiones. Por los sacerdotes que son tentados; Por los sacerdotes abandonados y en sole-dad; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes mori-bundos; Y por quienes sufren en el Purgatorio. Ante todo, pongo en tus manos a los sacerdotes que más quiero: El sacerdote que me bautizó; El sacerdote que me absuelve de mis pecados; Los sacerdotes que celebran la Misa a que asisto y me da en Comunión tu Cuerpo y Sangre; Los sacerdotes que me instruyen; Por quienes estoy en deuda, en especial (por el Padre______). O Jesús, consérvalos siempre junto a tu corazón y bendícelos siempre hasta la eternidad. Amén. Sta. Therese de Lisieux

FIESTA DE LA FE

Iglesia peregrina Nuestra participación en la Misa requiere que peregrinemos desde el hogar hasta la iglesia parroquial. Realmente nuestra preparación comienza en casa, desde que nos disponemos a la participación y emprendemos la peregrinación. Esto nos recuerda que la Iglesia, en esencia, es peregrina y que sigue esperando la venida del Emmanuel, no sólo del Dios que nace entre nosotros, sino del Dios que, en la persona de Cristo, vendrá de nuevo, de Jesús, cuyo nombre significa: Dios salva. Aunque caminamos y nos desplazamos a muchos lugares, esta peregrinación es particularmente significativa porque nos reunimos con un mismo fin, celebrar el misterio pascual de Cristo: su pasión, muerte y resurrección. El congregarnos en la casa de la Iglesia, haciendo a un lado nuestras diferencias naturales, para hacernos una voz, un solo pan y un solo

cáliz reafirma la posibilidad de caminar juntos hacia Dios, de unir nuestra alabanza, de alimentarnos para el viaje y de celebrar por adelantado el Reino de Dios anunciado por Jesús. Por eso es que caminamos con un fin, un fin que puede ir más allá de nuestra propia visión, si se quiere, pero que en la perspectiva de Dios, es tan concreto y tan veraz, como el pueblo que se reúne y camina con alegría a la casa de la Iglesia. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
