The Mystery of God: Who God is
and Why God Matters
A NEW VIDEO & DISCUSSION SERIES
on the Core Belief of Catholic Life and Faith
By Bishop Robert Barron, Word on Fire Ministries
Questions about God confront us daily:
 Who is God in a universe of immense time and space?
 How can believers respond to the challenges of
contemporary atheism?
 How does faith in God enrich humanity and human living?
 Where is God in the midst of human suffering?
Mondays, November 16th, 23rd, 30th and December 7th, 2015, 7-8:30pm
SPC Parish Center, West Hall. Video presentations and live discussion.

Dear friends,
I hope that the previous articles on the meaning of
the Sunday Mass have helped you understand
better what the Mass is about and why we do what
we do. This week I would like to present additional
information we need to know about the Sunday
Mass.
KEEPING SUNDAY—ALL DAY
Celebrating the Sunday Eucharist—though central
and essential—does not complete our observance
of Sunday. In addition to attending Mass each
Sunday, we should also refrain “from those
activities which impede the worship of God and
disturb the joy proper to the day of the Lord or the
necessary relaxation of mind and
body” (Compendium of the Catechism of the
Catholic Church, no. 453).
Sunday has traditionally been a day of rest.
However, the concept of a day of rest may seem
odd in a world that runs 24/7, where we are
tethered to our jobs by a variety of electronic
gadgets, where businesses run as normal no matter
what the day of the week, and where silence seems
to be an endangered species. By taking a day each
week to rest in the Lord, we provide a living
example to the culture that all time belongs to God
and that people are more important than things.
As Saint John Paul II said in Dies Domini (The Day
of the Lord), his apostolic letter on Sunday:
“Through Sunday rest, daily concerns and tasks can
find their proper perspective: the material things
about which we worry give way to spiritual values;
in a moment of encounter and less pressured
exchange, we see the true face of the people with
whom we live. Even the beauties of nature—too
often marred by the desire to exploit, which turns
against man himself—can be rediscovered and
enjoyed to the full.” (Dies Domini, no. 67)
Not everyone has the freedom to take Sundays
away from work. Some people, including medical
professionals and public safety workers, must work
on Sundays to keep the rest of us safe and healthy.
Others must work for economic reasons beyond
their control.
November 15, 2015
Resting on Sunday does not mean that we are
inactive. Instead, Sunday is traditionally
consecrated by Christian piety to good works and
humble service of the sick, the infirm, and the
elderly. Christians will also sanctify Sunday by
devoting time and care to their families and
relatives, often difficult to do on other days of the
week. Sunday is a time for reflection, silence,
cultivation of the mind, and meditation which
furthers the growth of the Christian interior life.
(CCC, no. 2186)
To celebrate the Lord’s Day more fully, consider
trying the following:
 Don’t use Sunday as your catch-all day for
errands and household chores.
 Share a family dinner after Mass. Have the whole
family join in the preparation and cleanup.
 Go for a walk or bike ride and give thanks to God
for the beauty of nature.
 Spend time reading the Bible or a spiritual book.
 Pray the Rosary or the Liturgy of the Hours, alone
or with others.
 Volunteer in a local food pantry.
 Visit parishioners and others who are
homebound.
 Read Bible stories to your children.
 Turn off your gadgets and enjoy the silence.
As we take time each week to celebrate the
Paschal Mystery in the Eucharist and to rest from
the burdens of our daily lives, we remind ourselves
that we are made in the image and likeness of God
who “rested on the seventh day from all the work he
had undertaken” (Gn 2:2). (Gratis permission is

issues of the bulletin for your safekeeping and for
you to go back to in case you need to be reminded
again. Thank you for taking the time to read them.
Peace,
Fr. Riz

Cuando los secretos se vuelven peligrosos - No hay ningún mejor momento durante el año para repasar
las reglas familiares sobre la seguridad de los niños. Tome sólo unos minutos para repasar con sus hijos qué
hacer durante una emergencia, quiénes son los adultos especiales en su vida con quienes están seguros, y
la importancia de no mantener secretos. Algunos secretos, como un regalo para una ocasión especial,
pueden ser divertidos y seguros de mantener. Secretos que hacen daño a otros, que implica contacto físico
inapropiado, o cualquier cosa que molesta a un niño, son secretos que NO son seguros de mantener. Ayuda
a su hijo a entender la diferencia. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Back to School:
Secrets” (Regreso a la escuela: Secretos) envíe un correo electrónico a: [email protected].
When secrets become dangerous - There is no better time of year to review the important family rules
that help to keep all children safe. It takes just a few moments to review with your children what to do in
an emergency, who the special and safe adults in their life are, and the importance of not keeping secrets.
Some secrets, like a gift for a special occasion, can be fun and safe to keep. Secrets that hurt others,
involve any kind of unsafe or inappropriate touching or anything that bothers a child – are secrets that are
NOT safe to keep. Help your child understand the difference. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Back to
School: Secrets,” email: [email protected].
