The Recepon of Holy Communion at Mass
The Church understands the Communion Procession, in fact every procession in liturgy, as a sign of the pilgrim Church, the
body of those who believe in Christ, on their way to the Heavenly Jerusalem. All our lives we who believe in Christ are moving in time
toward that moment when we will be taken by death from this world and enter into the joy of the Lord in the eternal Kingdom he has
prepared for us.
The liturgical assembly of the baptized that comes together for the celebration of the Eucharist is a witness to, a manifestation
of, the pilgrim Church. When we move in procession, particularly the procession to receive the body and blood of Christ in
Communion, we are a sign, a symbol of that pilgrim Church 'on the way.' For some, however, the experience of the Communion
Procession is far more prosaic, analogous perhaps to standing on line in the supermarket or at the motor vehicle bureau. A perception
such as this is a dreadfully inaccurate and impoverished understanding of what is a significant religious action.
The Communion Procession is an action of the Body of Christ. At Christ's invitation, extended by the priest acting in Christ's
person: Happy are they who are called to his supper, the members of the community move forward to share in the sacred meal, to
receive the body and blood of Christ which is the sign and the source of their unity. In fact, each time we move forward together to
receive the body and blood of the Lord, we join the countless ranks of all the baptized who have gone before us, our loved ones, the
canonized and uncanonized saints down through the ages, who at their time in history formed a part of this mighty stream of
believers.
This action by Christ's body, the Church assembled for the Eucharist, is manifested and supported by the Communion Hymn,
a hymn in praise of Christ sung by the united voices of those who believe in him and share his life. The General Instruction of the
Roman Missal takes this hymn very seriously, mandating that it should begin at the Communion of the priest and extend until the last
person has received Communion.
For some, however, the singing of this hymn is perceived as an intrusion on their own prayer, their private thanksgiving after
Communion. In fact, however, this hymn is prayer, the corporate thanksgiving prayer of the members of Christ's Body, united with
one another. Over and over again the prayers of the liturgy and the norms of the General Instruction emphasize this fundamental
concept of the unity of the baptized, stressing that when we come together to participate in the Eucharistic celebration we come, not as
individuals, but as united members of Christ's body. In each of the Eucharistic Prayers, though the petition is worded in slightly
different ways, God is asked to send his Holy Spirit to make us one body, one spirit in Christ; the General Instruction admonishes the
faithful that they should become one body, whether by hearing the word of God, or joining in prayers and singing ...(GIRM, no. 96) it
describes one of the purposes of the opening song of the Mass as to ... intensify the unity of those who have been gathered and says of
the Communion Chant that its function is to express outwardly the communicants’ union in spirit by means of the unity of their voices,
. . . and to highlight the communitarian nature of the procession to receive Communion.
It is difficult for some of us to embrace this emphasis on Mass as the action of a community rather than an individual act of
my own faith and piety, but it is important that we make every effort to do so. Christ himself at the Last Supper pleaded with his
Father: Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us ... Father may they be one in us,
as you are in me and I am in you ... Jn. 17: 11; 21. Baptism has joined us to Christ and to one another as the vine and its branches. The
life of Christ, the Holy Spirit, animates each of us individually, and all of us corporately and guides us together in our efforts to become
one in Christ.
Finally, the fact that the Communion Procession is a profoundly religious action tells us something about the way in which we
should participate in this procession. We are the Body of Christ, moving forward to receive the Christ who makes us one with himself
and with one another. Our procession should move with dignity; our bearing should be that of those who know they have been
redeemed by Christ and are coming to receive their God!
The new edition of the General Instruction asks the Conference of Bishops in each country to determine the posture to be
used for the reception of Communion and the act of reverence to be made by each person as he or she receives Communion. The
Conference of Bishops of the United States has determined that in this country Communion will be received standing and that a bow
will be the act of reverence made by those receiving. These norms may require some adjustment on the part of those who have been
used to other practices, however the significance of unity in posture and gesture as a symbol of our unity as members of the one body
of Christ should be the governing factor in our own actions.
Those who receive Communion may receive either in the hand or on the tongue, and the decision should be that of the
individual receiving, not of the person distributing Communion. If Communion is received in the hand, the hands should first of all be
clean. If one is right handed the left hand should rest upon the right. The host will then be laid in the palm of the left hand and then
taken by the right hand to the mouth. If one is left-handed this is reversed. It is not appropriate to reach out with the fingers and take
the host from the person distributing.
The person distributing Communion says audibly to each person approaching, 'The Body of Christ'. This formula should not
be altered, as it is a proclamation which calls for a response of faith on the part of the one who receives. The communicant should
audibly respond 'Amen,' indicating by that response his or her belief that this small wafer of bread, the wine in this chalice are in
reality the body and blood of Christ the Lord.
When one receives from the chalice, the same proclamation is made by the person distributing Communion and the
Communicant again responds 'Amen.' It should be noted that it is never permissible for a person to dip the host he or she has received
into the chalice. If, for some reason, the communicant is not able or willing to drink from the cup then that person should receive only
under the form of bread.
It seems appropriate to conclude this reflection on the Communion Procession and the reception of Communion with a
quotation from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
In Bapsm we have been called to form but one body. The Eucharist fulfills this call: 'The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a
parcipaon in the blood of Christ The bread which we break, is it not a parcipaon in the body of Christ Because there is one
bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread (1 Cor 10:16, 17):
If you are the body and members of Christ, then it is your sacrament that is placed on the table of the Lord; it is your sacrament that
you receive. To that which you are you respond 'Amen' ('yes,' it is true!') and by responding to it you assent to it. For you hear the
words, 'the Body of Christ and respond 'Amen.' Be then a member of the Body of Christ that your Amen may be true. (St. Augusne)

La Recepción de la Sagrada Comunión En La Misa Page 3
La Iglesia entiende la Procesión de la Comunión y, de hecho toda procesión litúrgica, como un signo de la Iglesia peregrina, el
cuerpo de aquéllos que creen en Cristo, en su camino hacia la Jerusalén Celestial. A lo largo de nuestras vidas, nosotros, los que
creemos en Cristo, nos movemos en el tiempo hacia ese momento en que seremos llevados de este mundo por la muerte y entraremos
en el gozo de nuestro Señor, al Reino eterno que nos ha preparado.
La asamblea litúrgica de los bautizados que vienen a reunirse para la celebración de la Eucaristía es un testigo, una
manifestación, de la iglesia peregrina. Cuando nos movemos en procesión, particularmente, en la procesión para recibir el cuerpo y la
sangre de Cristo en la Comunión, somos un signo, un símbolo de esa Iglesia peregrina “en camino”. Para algunos, sin embargo, la
experiencia de la Procesión de la Comunión es mucho más prosaica y hasta análoga con el hacer cola en el supermercado o en la
Dirección General de Vehículos Motorizados. Una percepción como ésta es una comprensión terriblemente incorrecta y empobrecida
de una acción religiosa significativa.
La Procesión de la Comunión es una acción del Cuerpo de Cristo. Los miembros de la comunidad, respondiendo a la invitacióndel
mismo Cristo por medio del Sacerdote que actúa “en la Persona de Cristo”1 (Bienaventurados aquéllos que han sido llamados
a la cena del Señor)2, donde se dará el compartir el alimento sagrado, recibido en el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, señal y fuente de
unidad. De hecho, cada vez que nos disponemos para recibir el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor, nos unimos a los innumerables rangos de
todos los bautizados que han muerto antes que nosotros, nuestros seres queridos, los santos canonizados y no canonizados a lo largo
de los siglos, quienes en algún momento de la historia formaron parte de este gran multitud de creyentes.
Esta acción del cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia reunida para la Eucaristía, se manifiesta y se apoya en el Himno de la Comunión,
un himno de alabanza a Cristo cantado al unísono por las voces de quienes creen en Él y comparten Su vida. La Instrucción General
del Misal Romano toma muy en serio este himno, estableciendo que debe empezar en el momento de la Comunión del sacerdote y que
debe extenderse hasta que la última persona haya comulgado.
Sin embargo, algunas personas consideran que cantar este himno es una intromisión en su propia oración, su propia acción
de gracias privada después de la Comunión. Sin embargo, este himno es oración, la oración de acción gracias comunitaria de los
miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo, mutuamente unidos. Una y otra vez, las plegarias litúrgicas y las normas de la Instrucción General
enfatizan este concepto fundamental de la unidad de los bautizados, resaltando que cuando nos reunimos para participar en la celebración
Eucarística, venimos no como individuos sino como miembros unidos del Cuerpo de Cristo. En cada una de las Plegarias Eucarísticas,
aunque la petición se presenta con pequeñas diferencias, se le pide a Dios que envíe Su Espíritu Santo para hacernos un solo
cuerpo, un solo Espíritu; la Instrucción General invita a los fieles a que “actúen, pues, como un solo cuerpo tanto al escuchar la Palabra
de Dios, como al tomar parte en las oraciones y en los cantos y, en especial, al ofrecer comunitariamente el sacrificio y al participar
todos juntos en la mesa del Señor” (IGMR # 96), describe como uno de los propósitos del canto de entrada a la Misa intensifica la
unión de los que se han reunido3. Del Cántico de Comunión dice que su función es expresar abiertamente la unión espiritual de los
comulgantes por medio de la unidad de sus voces, y de resaltar el carácter comunitario de la Procesión de Comunión4.
Para algunos de nosotros es difícil aceptar esta insistencia en que la Misa es la acción de una comunidad en lugar de un acto
individual de nuestra propia fe y piedad; sin embargo, es importante que hagamos todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para que así sea.
El propio Cristo en la última Cena le imploró a Su Padre: "Padre Santo, cuida en tu nombre a los que me has dado…para que todos
sean uno. Como tú, Padre, en mí y yo en ti, que ellos también sean uno en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me has enviado"(Juan
17:11b; 21)5. El Bautismo nos ha unido a Cristo y a nuestro prójimo como la vid a sus ramas. La vida de Cristo, el Espíritu
Santo, nos anima a cada uno de nosotros de manera individual y a todos colectivamente y guía nuestros esfuerzos por llegar a ser uno
en Cristo.
Finalmente, el hecho de que la Procesión de Comunión es una acción profundamente religiosa nos dice algo sobre la manera
en que debemos participar en esta procesión. Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo, avanzando para recibir a Cristo que nos hace uno con Él
mismo y con nuestro prójimo. Nuestra procesión debe avanzar con dignidad; ¡nuestro comportamiento debe ser como el de aquéllos
que saben que han sido redimidos por Cristo y que están viniendo a recibir a su Dios!
La nueva edición de la Instrucción General solicita a la Conferencia Episcopal de cada país que determine la postura corporal
de la Comunión y el acto de reverencia que se ha de realizar por cada persona en el momento de recibirla. La Conferencia de los
Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos ha determinado que en este país, la Comunión se reciba de pie y que se haga una venia como
signo de reverencia por parte de aquellas personas que la reciben. Estas normas pueden requerir ciertos ajustes de parte de aquéllos
que han estado acostumbrados a otras prácticas; sin embargo, el significado de unidad en la postura y el gesto corporal, como símbolo
de nuestra unidad como miembros del único cuerpo de Cristo, debe ser el factor predominante sobre nuestras propias acciones.
Quienes reciben la Comunión pueden hacerlo tanto en la mano como en la lengua; sin embargo, la decisión final está en la
persona que la recibe, no en la persona que la distribuye. Si la Comunión se recibe en la mano, las manos deben estar completamente
limpias. Si uno es diestro, la mano izquierda debe descansar sobe la mano derecha. La hostia será luego depositada sobre la palma de
la mano izquierda y luego tomada por la mano derecha hasta llevarla a la boca. Si una persona es zurda, se hará del modo contrario. Es
inapropiado tomarla con los dedos directamente de la mano de la persona que la distribuye.
La persona que distribuye la Comunión dice a cada persona que se aproxima y de manera que se oiga, "El Cuerpo de Cristo".
Esta fórmula no debe ser alterada ya que es una proclamación que invita a una respuesta de fe de parte de la persona que la recibe. El
comulgante debe responder de manera audible "Amén", indicando, por su respuesta, su creencia de que este pequeño pedazo de pan y
el vino de este cáliz son en realidad el cuerpo y la sangre de Cristo, el Señor.
Cuando uno recibe la Comunión del cáliz, la persona que distribuye la Comunión hace la misma proclamación y el comulgante
nuevamente responde "Amén" . Cabe notar que no está permitido que una persona introduzca la hostia que ha recibido dentro
del cáliz. Si, por alguna razón, el comulgante no puede o no desea beber del cáliz, debe recibir la Comunión sólo en la forma de pan.
Parece apropiado concluir esta reflexión sobre la Procesión de Comunión y la recepción de la Comunión con una cita del
Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica: "En el Bautismo fuimos llamados a no formar más que un solo cuerpo (Cf. 1Co 12, 13). La Eucaristía
realiza esta llamada: ‘El cáliz de bendición que bendecimos, ¿no es acaso comunión con la Sangre de Cristo Y el pan que partimos ¿no
es comunión con el Cuerpo de Cristo Porque aún siendo muchos, un solo pan y un solo cuerpo somos, pues todos participamos de un
solo pan’ (1 Co 10, 16- 17): Si ustedes mismos son Cuerpo y miembros de Cristo, son el sacramento que es puesto sobre la mesa del
Señor, y reciben este sacramento suyo. Responden "Amén" (es decir, ‘sí’, es verdad) a lo que reciben, con lo que, respondiendo, lo
reafirman. Oyes decir "el Cuerpo de Cristo" y respondes "Amén". Por lo tanto, sé tú verdadero miembro de Cristo para que tu "Amén"

MARRIAGE MATTERS
On your wedding day, when you said: “I take you to be my spouse” you promised to
embrace not only what is good about your spouse, but also what is imperfect about
this person. How are you keeping that promise

ADVENT ~ A SENSE OF THE SEASON
December is the time for expressing the hope and strengthening the dreams that will carry us through the
next year. Advent is the way we as church express our hopes. Prophetic visions, prayers and songs calling for the
Lord to come do help us to hope profoundly. Advent allows us to do what most others do in December—but to see
in the coming Lord the answer to our dreams. In our Catholic tradition, keeping Advent means singing the songs of
expectation, of our hopes and longing, before we enter into the full-throated praise of Christmas carols.
Here are a few lines from our tradition on what Advent is about. “Advent has a twofold character: as a
season to prepare us for Christmas when Christ’s first coming is remembered; as a season when that remembrance directs the mind
and the heart to await Christ’s second coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation.” (General
Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, #39)
Thomas Merton, in his book Seasons of Celebration, reviewed the ways Saint Bernard of Clairvaux approached these
comings of Christ. The first advent was Christ’s birth. The other will be at the end of time. Faith in these two stimulates recognition of
a third, the advent of Christ in our church now, today. Viewed from this perspective, the Advent liturgy, with its scriptures, prayers and
songs, is neither a romantic return to the Old Testament while we wait for the baby at Bethlehem, nor is it an exercise in expressing
hope for an ever-receding end of time. The Advent liturgy is neither nostalgic nor illusory. When we take the tradition and enter it fully,
we become Advent, the people in and through whom Christ comes.

From the Editor
The Season of Advent is once again upon us. This is a time of preparation
and anticipation. A time for giving and forgiving. A time for loving and a time for
gratitude. Today is the first Sunday of Advent; how do you and your family
celebrate the Advent Season Here are some ideas for you to do to help celebrate
this special season and to slow down and appreciate one another.
May the grace of Our Lord fall upon each and everyone of you. May His
love fill your hearts and may this season bring much joy and happiness to you and
your family.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH
THE PRAYERS AT MASS
At Masses today, Catholic parishes
in the United States are for the
first time in about forty years
using a new English translation of
all the prayers. These prayers are
found in The Roman Missal, the
large book that we are accustomed
to seeing the priest use at our
Eucharistic liturgies. In the early
part of this century, the late
Blessed Pope John Paul II called
for the original Latin Missal (the
official prayer book for Mass for
the entire Catholic Church
worldwide) to be re-translated
into the various languages prayed
throughout the world. In
particular, he and other Church
leaders felt that the English
translation could be improved. He
called for new translations that
would be much more like the
Latin texts upon which they are
based, so that all Catholics
throughout the world would
become more closely united by
praying translations that were
closer to the original. The words
that we pray at Mass express our
beliefs; it is important that the
translations capture and express
these beliefs clearly. The
translation process has come to a
culmination now, and today we
begin using this new translation at
Mass. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

BLESSED SACRAMENT
We are so very blessed to have the presence of Jesus
right here everyday!!! He is located in the Adoraon Chapel
inside the Parish Office 24 hours per day/7 days per week. Just
think, ANYTIME you want to be in the presence of Our Lord, all
you have to do is come to the Adoraon Chapel -
He’s here, waing for you!!!
However, soon He may only be
available during certain hours/mes throughout
the day or week. How sad would that be We
have the gi of His presence anyme, but may
need to modify our hours. In order to keep our
Perpetual Adoraon Chapel open 24 hours per day
we MUST have scheduled adorers. Someone MUST be with Him
ALWAYS - He is never to be le unaended. The only
requirement is your desire to sit with Him for one hour - that’s
it!!! Won’t you answer His call and visit with Him for one hour
Please contact Sr. Rosa at 436-0124 ext. 112 to
schedule your me.
Come and join the Knights of Columbus
every first Saturday of the month directly
after the 8:00am Mass, reflecting on the
Rosary for Life. This Rosary is the Scriptural
Rosary selecting one of the mysteries each
month. Each mystery draws on exact bible
passages corresponding to each mystery. Come pray
and offer this rosary in union with our blessed mother to
battle abortion.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El significado de la palabra “¡Adviento!” es muy interesante. Viene del latín y quiere decir “Allí viene” o “Ya está
llegando”. Pero, ¿de quién hablamos cuando proclamamos “adviento” ¿Del Rey de la Gloria, ¿del Príncipe de la Paz,
¿del Hijo del Dios Altísimo, ¿del Salvador de Israel Sí, sí, sí y otra vez, sí, pero más todavía del Hijo del Hombre, del
niñito de María. Allí viene y ya está llegando. Tenemos que estar preparados. Pero ¿cómo prepararnos para la llegada de un
rey que es pobre, ¿de un príncipe que nació entre una mula y un buey ¿de un niñito que ya es todo un hombre y además
es Dios He allí el dilema del Adviento cristiano. Es un llamado a vivir la paradoja de un tiempo que está a medias, donde
el Reino de los Cielos ya existe pero no en su plenitud. Es un llamado a buscar en el templo, en el mall, en el barrio, en el
hogar y en el propio corazón, para ver si “allí viene” el dueño de la casa. Es un llamado a estar atentos y vigilantes.
Fray Gilberto Cavazos‐Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
¿Qué es el tiempo de Adviento
El Adviento es el comienzo del Año Litúrgico en la Iglesia y este
año empieza el domingo 27 de noviembre, 2011.
Término: Adviento viene de adventus, venida, llegada.
Color: El Color Litúrgico de este tiempo es el morado y Rosa.
Sentido: Tiempo gozoso de preparación y esperanza. Tiempo
para hacer el examen de nuestra conciencia y de mejorar
nuestra pureza interior para recibir a Dios.
Duración: 4 semanas
Ministerio de Padres y Madres Orantes
Este grupo de padres y madres en oración se ha
formado debido a la gran necesidad que
tenemos los padres de familia de ayudar a
nuestros hijos a desarrollarse como personas de
bien y para ayudarles a defenderse de todos los
peligros a que están expuestos los jóvenes en
esta sociedad actual y por el dolor que se está
sintiendo al verlos acosados por los peligros de
la droga, el alcohol, la violencia, el sexo libre y
por todo tipo de peligros que los asechan y, lo más doloroso de
todo, verlos tan alejados de Dios. Debido también, a la dificultad
que están teniendo los padres de familia para comunicarse con los
hijos. Los hogares se han convertido en centros de angustia y
discordias por la falta de comprensión entre los miembros de la
familia. Este ministerios es para padres y madres. Sabemos que si
“padres y madres” unen sus oraciones, formando un “ramillete” de
oración, acompañado de reparación y penitencia, se alcanzará la
Misericordia de Dios, para nosotros, para nuestros hijos, para los
hijos de nuestros hijos y para el mundo entero.
Próxima Misa y oración 3 de diciembre del 2011:
Rosario 6:30 pm - Misa 7:00pm - Hora Santa después de misa
en la Capilla de Guadalupe.
Hazlo por tus hijos - Únete a este ministerio!
Para mas información sobre este ministerio hablar con la Hrna. Tere
al 439-0124 ext. 113 o con Adriana después de la Hora Santa.
