AUTUMN IN THE AIR
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the early years of the church, most people never
availed themselves of once-in-a-lifetime penance. Yet
penitents were highly visible. They wore distinctive
garments or chains, and they were relegated to special
zones in the church. They might be dismissed from the
Sunday assembly after the Word, forbidden to join in
the
Prayer of the Faithful or the Eucharist. This dismissal
was done with great affection and tenderness as the
bishop laid his hands on the heads of the sinners. During
Lent almost everyone would identify with penitents by
clothing, insignia, or by following the penitents’ regular
diet. Rather than sit in judgment over them, the church
desired to intercede for them before the Lord. “Let
Mother Church weep for you and wash away your sins
with her tears,” said St. Ambrose to his penitents in
Milan. Ambrose liked to think of them as Jonah in the
whale, meditating on his errors. In a letter to his sister
he
said that Jonah is also a sign of Christ in
the tomb, and
so he had great faith in the penitents’
future

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1535 los frailes mercedarios construyeron la
primera iglesia en Lima Perú dedicada a su patrona,
Nuestra Señora de la Merced. Esta orden religiosa se
remonta al siglo XIII, mientras algunos musulmanes
tomaban prisioneros cristianos en España. Era su misión
rescatar a los cautivos, incluso, hasta tomar su lugar si
fuera necesario. Con el paso de los siglos, los mercedarios se
han
dedicado a rescatar todo tipo de cautivos del abuso
social. Por tal razón, muchas imágenes de la Virgen de
Nuestra Señora de la Merced la pintan con dos bolsitas
de monedas usadas para comprar la libertad de los
encarcelados o esclavizados. En otras imágenes carga
cadenas abiertas como símbolo de libertad.
Esta patrona de Perú recuerda el deseo
latinoamericano de la liberación. Este deseo
de
liberación se ha convertido en un compromiso
urgente para la Iglesia latinoamericana en
protesta por los muchos abusos por parte de
militares, guerrilleros y carteles de la droga
que amenazan la libertad. Jesús vino a liberarnos del pecado y sus consecuencias y su
madre
(la Merced) ayuda fielmente en esa obra. Su
Iglesia no
puede hacer otra cosa sino lo mismo.

Volunteers for Sharing the Faith with Children:
We are grateful to our volunteers who helped strengthen our efforts to share the faith with the children. Our
mission is not only to offer faith formation on Sundays and Wednesdays at All Saints, but to evangelize our
children six days a week at nine different times in seven different public schools. We are in need of volunteers to help spread the
faith. If you are interested in sharing your faith with our children, contact Dan, Adriana, or Sra. Chavez at 713-864-2653 if you can
help. “We pray that you hear God’s call to work in his vineyard….”
Pre-Kinder & Kinder at All Saints:
Have you heard the discontent of little children during mass? These are children who do not understand what we proclaim and
celebrate. Sundays, starting Sept. 21 - May 3, 2015, while the parents attend mass, the children “celebrate” the Word of God with a
“lector” who shares the Gospel through story, music, prayer and activities for ages 3-5yrs in the St. Vincent de Paul building Room
#3 at 10:30 AM in English and 12:30 PM in Spanish. Register in Religion Education if you wish your child to attend.
Could you volunteer to bring the Good News to these children in a way they are content and can understand what God’s word
means? If so, contact the RE Office - 713-864-2653.
Voluntarios para compartir la Fe con los niños:
Nos sentimos muy agradecidos con nuestros voluntarios quienes ayudaron a fortalecer nuestros esfuerzos en compartir la fe
con los niños. Nuestra misión en no solamente ofrecer la formación los Domingos y Miércoles en Todos los Santos, sino evangelizar a nuestros niños seis días a la semana, en nueve horarios y lugares diferentes en las escuelas públicas. Para hacerlo, necesitamos voluntarios para que ayuden a esparcir la fe. Si ustedes están interesados, en trabajar con la iglesia joven, pónganse
en contacto con: Dan, Adriana o la Sra. Chávez, al 713/864-2653 para ofrecer su ayuda. “Oramos porque ustedes escuchen
el llamado de Dios para trabajar en su viña....”
Pre-Kinder & Kinder en Todos los Santos:
¿Han escuchado ustedes el descontento de los niños durante la Misa? Estos son los niños que no entienden lo que se está proclamando y celebrando. Los domingos, comenzando en Sept. 21 hasta Mayo 3, 2015, mientras los padres asisten a misa, los niños “celebran” la Palabra de Dios con un “lector” que comparte el Evangelio por medio de la historia, música, oración y actividades, para los de edad de 3 a 5, en el Edificio de San Vicente de Paul, a las 10:30 AM en Inglés y 12:30 PM en Español.
Regístense con nosotros si desean que su niño asista. Les gustaría ser voluntario para llevar las Buenas Nuevas a estos niños,
en una forma en que ellos estén contentos y puedan entender lo que la palabra Dios significa? Contáctenos en la Oficina de
713/864-2653

St.Pio of Pietrelcina, O.F.M. Cap. commonly known as Padre Pio, was a friar, priest, stigmatist, and
mystic of the Roman Catholic Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. Padre Pio became famous for bearing
the stigmata for most of his life, which generated much interest and controversy around him. He is
now venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Padre Pio became a very well known priest.
Franciscan spirituality is characterized by a life of poverty, love of nature, and giving charity to
those in need. Franciscan prayer recognizes God's presence in the wonder of creation. This is seen
clearly in St. Francis' Canticle of the Sun. Franciscan spirituality is focused on walking in Christ's
footsteps, understanding God by doing what Christ asked, experiencing and sharing God. Later Padre
Pio became a spiritual director. He had five rules for spiritual growth: weekly confession, daily
Communion, spiritual reading, meditation, and examination of conscience. Padre Pio, who was
devotede to rosary meditations, said
"The person who meditates and turns his mind to God, who is the mirror of his soul, seeks to know his
faults, tries to correct them, moderates his impulses, and puts his conscience in order."
