Pastor’s Message
September 11, 2016
Dear Friends in Christ:
Quí Ông Bà và Anh Chị Em thân mến trong Chúa Kitô:
Estimados Amigos y Amigas en Cristo:
September 11, 2001 or 9/11 was that fateful day. Can
you believe it has been 15 years when 4 coordinated terrorist
attacks by al-Queda occurred? These attacks killed 2,996
people and injured over 6,000 people. And how many more
people were affected by fear and emotional distress, by loss
of their loved ones? 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement
officers were killed, trying to rescue people. We all have our
memories of where we were, what we were doing, and how
we felt when we heard the news.
The sad news is that such violence continues to this day
with other terrorist attacks throughout our world. Though the
numbers are not as great, it is still a tragedy when even one
human life is taken by such violence. Sadly, we may have
become somewhat “numb” when another violent act of terrorism occurs. Let us pray that such violence ceases.
Violence only begets violence. So what is the answer?
Jesus had the correct answer: Love your enemies (Mt. 5:44).
When Jesus was arrested, He said: “Put your sword back
into its sheath, for all who take the sword will perish by the
sword” (Mt. 26:52). Or as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated: “Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness
begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate
with the power of love..."
Yes, we were horrified by the attacks on 9/11. But are we
horrified by the staggering loss of life from other causes like
senseless murders, drunk driving, abortion, etc.? Are we
aware that each year more than 41,000 individuals die by
suicide, leaving behind thousands of friends and family
members to navigate the tragedy of their loss. Suicide is the
10th leading cause of death among adults in the U.S. and the
2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-24.
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness
Month. It helps promote resources and awareness around
the issues of suicide prevention, how you can help others
and how to talk about suicide without increasing the risk of
2nd Collection this weekend, p. 11
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, p. 11
Death Penalty, p. 14
harm. Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone regardless of age,
gender or background. In many cases the individuals, friends
and families affected by suicide are left in dark, feeling
shame or stigma that prevents talking openly about issues
dealing with suicide. See p. 11 for more info on suicide.
We simply do not understand why some people are prone
to suicidal thoughts and feelings. Having suicidal thoughts
does not mean someone is weak or flawed. The mind is very
complicated. That is why society and the Church view suicide very differently than years ago. I was part of a panel
discussion recently on suicide. This panel consisted of health
care professionals and ministers of various Christian denominations plus the Jewish and Islam faiths. It was interesting
how many panel members struggled with suicide as a sin.
The Catholic Church still upholds the ideal. The Catechism states: “Everyone is responsible for his life before God
who has given it to him…We are stewards, not owners, of
the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of.
Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. It is gravely contrary
to the just love of self. It likewise offends love of neighbor
because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family,
nation, and other human societies to which we continue to
have obligations. Suicide is contrary to love for the living
God. (#2280-2281).”
But the Catechism then states “Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or
torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing
suicide. We should not despair of the eternal salvation of
persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to
him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their
own lives (#2282-2283).” So yes, a Catholic funeral is allowed for a person who dies from suicide and for the consolation of grieving families and friends. Let us pray for all
concerned and to be more aware of this important issue.
Praised be the Sacred Heart of Jesus! Forever, amen!

Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of
God, born of the Father before all ages, God from God, Light
from Light, true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father; through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from Heaven,
(We all are to make a bow of the body during the next 2 lines.)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered
death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is
seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in
glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will
have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the
Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken
through the Prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. E
I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the
world to come.
Amen.

SIGNIFICANCE of BOWING
A bow signifies reverence and honor shown to the names or event being mentioned. We are to do the following:
1) A bow of the head is made when the three Divine Persons (the Trinity) are named together and at the names of Jesus, of the Blessed
Virgin Mary, and of the Saint in whose honor Mass is being celebrated.
2) A bow of the body (a profound bow) is made during the Creed with the words (and by the Holy Spirit…and became man—highlighted in
—General Instruction to the Roman Missal, #275
red words in the Creed).

Hymn for World Peace
1.
As we, your people, gather
with wearied hearts, O Lord,
let prayers be now uplifted
for peace to be restored.
May healing and repentance
in every land be known,
as sword is turned to plowshare
and seeds of trust are sown.
2.
The cries of desperation,
the orphan in distress,
instill in us a longing
that words cannot express.
Yet, as the Spirit’s presence
within each heart is stirred,
we find new strength and courage
in God’s unfailing Word.
COME SING WITH US DURING
OPEN CHOIR LOFT
Drop in to Sing at 11 AM Mass this September!
On September 18th join us for a
Choir Meet & Greet coffee
in the lobby of Cathedral Centre immediately
following 11 am Mass
As is tradition in the summer months, at 11:00
AM Mass we will have “Open Choir Loft,”
where anyone may stop by to sing with the
choir for a day, or for all four weeks. Last
week we were thrilled to have 12 new faces.
We still need yours, especially alto ladies!
Do you know the 12 Chants Every Catholic
Should Know? Our Open Loft cur r iculum
this year will include these plus other wellloved pieces. In addition to learning some introductory chants from the Graduale Simplex,
we will delve into Jesu Dulce Memoria, Adoro
Te Devote, Parce Domine, and Ave Verum
Corpus. You likely recognized some of these
titles, because these texts appear throughout the
musical year. And, this year, there will be other opportunities to learn the other eight. All
this will be done in the company of our choir’s
diverse resources – we represent every generation from 16 to 70, with professional musicians, doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers,
artists, undecideds, retirees, mamas, daddies,
grandparents, students, marrieds, singles, etc.
3.
The prophet voices call us
to seek that promised day
when hatred and oppression
at last are swept away.
No darkness will surround us;
in light we dwell secure.
God’s purpose is accomplished
when peace and love endure.

Dear Parents, This Sunday we are exploring The Lord’s
Welcome Back!
Faith Formation Sundays begins
today, September 11.
Prayer, or as many of us know it the “Our Father”. This beautiful
prayer was given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself (Mt. 6:914) when he was asked by His disciples “How do we pray?” (cf.
Luke 1:1-2)
Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Parent & Student Orientation
Give us this day our daily bread;
Parents and students, if you were unable to attend the
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
August 28th Orientation there will be another Orientaand lead us not into temptation,
tion
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
THIS Sunday, September 11
Most of us have memorized the Lord’s Prayer, but have we
paid close attention to the meaning of it?
This is a prayer Jesus gave us to help us find the words to
start a conversation with our Father.

/
Duke Henry II of Bavaria and devoted much of his reign to the
promotion of the Christian faith. He gave his patronage to
Church leaders, helped build churches, and was a proponent of
the rights of the Holy See. Stephen also crushed the pagan
counter reaction to Christianity, forcibly converting the so-called
Black Hungarians after their failed rebellion. In recognition of
his efforts, Stephen was anointed king of Hungary in 1000, receiving the cross and crown from Pope Sylvester II. The remainder of his reign was taken up with the consolidation of
the Christian hold on the region. His crown and regalia became
beloved symbols of the Hungarian nation, and Stephen was venerated as the ideal Christian king.

A TOOL to Enrich Your Marriage
Christian Meditation
Wed. Evenings at 6:30 PM Parish Library
On the first floor of the Cathedral Centre.
What is Christian Meditation? Chr istian Meditation is not a
study or discussion, but a weekly meeting of Christians coming
together to silence their minds/hearts and listen to the quiet voice of God
speaking. After a brief, pre-selected Christian message, participants meditate
in silence for about 20 minutes. Meditation is an ancient form of Christian
prayer practiced by the saints, and religious communities throughout the world.
Navigating Your Finances God's Way
A 9 week Scripture study that teaches God's perspective
about money and possessions. Students read and answer questions about Bible verses, which are discussed
in class. The learning is enhanced through personal
practical applications which help students implement Biblical principles in their everyday lives. No personal financial information is revealed.
Whether you are young or old, retired or working, married
or single, struggling financially or have plenty of money,
this is for you! With more than 2,500 verses in the Bible
that deal with money and possessions it must be important.
Orientation: THIS Sunday, September 11

First Class: Sunday, September 25.
Time: 3:00pm - 5:00 pm
Space is limited, so register soon.

Stewardship Reflection:
24th Sunday in Ordinary Time: September 11
That we may understand we have a responsibility to work in
God’s kingdom and spread God’s love throughout our world.
“Everything I have is yours.” Luke 15:31 Our Heavenly Father
gives us everything, including the chance to share in His eternal kingdom. Yet, like the Prodigal Son we are often lured
away by the materialism of our society. Do we really want to
turn our backs on all that God offers in exchange for a material
wealth that has no lasting value?

Make time to hear about the lay movement called
Teams of Our Lady. TOOL is an international lay
movement of “Married Spirituality” with over 50,000 couples within the Catholic Church blessed by Pope John Paul II.
As married couples, the goal is to grow closer together in love
and holiness. Yet, in today’s busy society, with forces and
stresses that can undermine both marriage and faith, where can
couples find the time to connect not only with one another, but
with Christ? A Team brings together Christian couples united by
the Sacrament of Matrimony who wish, together, to deepen the
graces of their Sacrament.

The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is on October 7, the date in
1571 of the Battle of Lepanto when the Catholic League overcame Ottoman forces off western Greece. In 1884, Pope Leo XIII officially dedicated the entire month to the devotion of Our Blessed Mother and the Holy Rosary. During the month of October, we invite you to join us to pray the Rosary for peace 30 minutes prior to the 5 pm Saturday and 7 am, 9 am & 11 am Sunday Masses. We
will pray in the Marian transept of the church. If you would like to volunteer to lead the rosary, please contact Gwenne Buck in the
parish office, 713-659-1561 or [email protected]

SEPTEMBER IS HOUSTON’S HUMAN TRAFFICKING AWARENESS MONTH
Jesus tells us to treat others as we would want to be treated, and He has a heart for the oppressed. With
God’s help, you can make a world of difference.
Don’t know where to start? Here are some suggestions:
1. Pray.
The crime of human trafficking
reflects a powerful clash of spiritual
forces. Don't minimize the importance
of your prayers. The battle deserves and
requires the best resources available:
God’s power, wisdom, and protection.
2. Learn.
Educate yourself and those you influence. For starters learn the red flags
that can indicate human trafficking and
ask follow up questions so you can help
identify a victim if the situation arises.
Go to our Outreach Page on our parish
website for more info
3. Be A Responsible Consumer.
Look for a “fair trade” logo when you purchase coffee and especially chocolate, since
child slaves harvest most cocoa. Find out
how your own life impacts human slavery
today —Go to www.slaveryfootprint.org
and take the quiz
4. Be A Community Educator.
Our Outreach Ministry brings awareness and education about Human Trafficking to our community, parishes and schools through
the Amistad Houston Anti-Trafficking Program supported by the USCCB. We need more help! . If you would like to be an
Amistad Houston Community Educator, please contact us at [email protected]
5. Be A Sponsor of Hope.
Participate in our Homes of Hospitality Project and help survivors have a future full of hope. See details on our website
6. Take Action.
Be a Voice for the Voiceless. Review current legislation and support Bills that provide assistance to victims and promotes stronger
penalties for traffickers. Visit our parish Outreach page to sign petitions that advocate for an end to end Human Trafficking
7. Attend A Human Trafficking Awareness Presentation this September.
The Amistad Houston Team will be providing Awareness
Education this month. Visit our Parish Outreach Page/
Amistad Houston for more information and registration.

Death Penalty
p. 14
The Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at
every stage of its development. This conviction
has led me, from the beginning of my ministry,
to advocate at different levels for the global
abolition of the death penalty.
Pope Francis, Address to US Congress, Sept. 24, 2015
Choose Life: Help Texas Jurors Know the
Truth About Death Penalty Sentencing
The adage “a chain is only as strong as its weakest
link” comes to mind when considering the effects of
criminal behavior and society’s response to it. The
common good is undermined by criminal behavior
that threatens the lives and dignity of others and by
policies that give up on those who have broken the
law. We are called to show compassion and mercy
to all, including those who are incarcerated. Our individual humanity is strengthened or weakened by
how we, as a society, treat those who most need
merciful justice.
It is clear, as the Church has refined her teaching on
this issue, that the current criminal justice system
has both the tools for life imprisonment without execution and has significant flaws in sentencing practices that undermine the ability for the public to trust
that every convicted person on death row in Texas is
actually guilty. A capitol jury has a tremendous burden of determining whether an inmate lives or dies.
Jurors carry the weight of this decision and its impact
for the rest of their lives.
Like all affronts to the dignity of life, the death penalty diminishes humanity. Church teaching on the life
and dignity of every human person should guide all
our decisions about life, including the use of the
death penalty. Furthermore, research shows that we
cannot reduce crime by executing criminals and simple logic tells us the lives of the innocent are not restored by ending the lives of those called to reflect
on what the Lord’s command, “You shall not kill” (Ex
20:13) means for us today.
In the upcoming legislative session, we have
the opportunity to improve the rights of jurors serving
in death penalty sentencing cases. Texas law is
intentionally misleading as it requires judges and attorneys to lie to jurors about the level of unanimity
required for a death sentence. The Texas bishops
will be supporting efforts to revise capital jury sentencing instructions to prevent this concealment of
juror's individual capacity to impose a sentence
less than death. While we will continue our efforts to end the use of the death penalty in Texas,
this nation will at least improve the fairness of the
current system.
What you can do
Resources
 Learn more about the death penalty and Catholic
teaching applicable to this issue.
 Pray for merciful justice.
 Contact your Texas legislators and ask them to revise
the law about capital jury sentencing instructions so
that judges and attorneys are not forced to lie to jurors about the level of unanimity required for a death
sentence.

sus criados: '¡Pronto!, traigan la túnica más rica y vístansela;
pónganle un anillo en el dedo y sandalias en los pies; traigan el
becerro gordo y mátenlo. Comamos y hagamos una fiesta, porque este hijo mío estaba muerto y ha vuelto a la vida, estaba
perdido y lo hemos encontrado'. Y empezó el banquete.

Palabras del Papa Francisco
La Parábola del Padre Misericordioso
La parábola del Padre Misericordioso habla de un padre y de
sus dos hijos, y nos hace conocer la misericordia infinita de
Dios. Iniciemos del final, es decir, de la alegría del corazón del
Padre, que dice: «Comamos y festejemos, porque mi hijo estaba
muerto y ha vuelto a la vida, estaba perdido y fue encontrado».
Con estas palabras el padre interrumpió al hijo menor en el momento en el cual estaba confesando su culpa: «Ya no merezco
ser llamado hijo tuyo…». Pero esta expresión es insoportable
para el corazón del padre, que en cambio se apresura en restituir
al hijo los signos de su dignidad: la mejor ropa, el anillo, las
sandalias. Jesús no describe a un padre ofendido y resentido, un
padre que, por ejemplo, dice al hijo: “me las pagaras, ¡eh!”; no,
el padre lo abraza, lo espera con amor. Al contrario, la única
cosa que el padre tiene en su corazón es que este hijo esté ante
él sano y salvo y esto lo hace feliz y hace fiesta. La acogida del
hijo que regresa es descrito de modo conmovedor: «Cuando
todavía estaba lejos, su padre lo vio y se conmovió
profundamente, corrió a su encuentro, lo abrazó y lo besó».
Cuanta ternura; lo ve desde lejos: ¿Qué cosa significa esto? Que
el padre subía a la terraza continuamente para mirar el camino y
ver si el hijo regresaba… Lo esperaba, aquel hijo que había
hecho de todo, pero el padre lo esperaba. Que cosa bella la ternura del padre. La misericordia del padre es rebosante, incondicionada, y se manifiesta mucho antes que el hijo hable. Cierto,
el hijo sabe que se ha equivocado y lo reconoce: «Padre, pequé… trátame como a uno de tus jornaleros». Pero estas palabras se disuelven ante el perdón del padre. El abrazo y el beso
de su papá le hacen entender que ha sido siempre considerado
hijo, no obstante todo. ¡Pero es hijo! Es importante esta enseñanza de Jesús: nuestra condición de hijos de Dios es fruto del
amor del corazón del Padre; no depende de nuestros méritos o
de nuestras acciones, y por ello nadie puede quitárnosla, nadie
puede quitárnosla, ¡ni siquiera el diablo! Nadie puede quitarnos
esta dignidad. En la parábola existe otro hijo, el mayor; también
él tiene necesidad de descubrir la misericordia del padre. Él
siempre ha estado en casa, ¡pero es tan diferente del padre! Sus
palabras no tienen ternura: «Hace tantos años que te sirvo sin
haber desobedecido jamás ni una sola de tus órdenes… ¡Y ahora que ese hijo tuyo ha vuelto… !», el desprecio. No dice jamás
“padre”, no dice jamás “hermano”, piensa solamente en sí mismo, se jacta de haber permanecido siempre junto al padre y de
haberlo servido; a pesar de ello, jamás ha vivido con alegría
esta cercanía. Y ahora acusa al padre de no haberle dado jamás
un cabrito para hacer fiesta. ¡Pobre Padre! ¡Un hijo se había
ido, y el otro jamás le había estado cerca! El hijo mayor, también él tiene necesidad de misericordia. Los justos, estos que se
creen justos, tienen también necesidad de misericordia. Este
hijo representa a nosotros cuando nos preguntamos si vale la
pena trabajar tanto si luego no recibimos nada a cambio. Esta
palabra de Jesús nos anima a no desesperarnos jamás.
