Virgilio T.J. Suerte Felipe
The Eucharistic Prayer
As Jesus gave thanks to the Father at the Last Supper (Mk 14:23), the Priest also gives thanks
to the Father at the Eucharistic Prayer, “the prayer of thanksgiving and sanctification” (General Instruction of the
Roman Missal 78). For a long time, Catholics have mainly focused on the Consecration and elevation of the Host during this prayer. Today, we have come to appreciate the full context of the whole prayer which is thanksgiving. That is
why it is called Eucharistic Prayer. Eucharist comes from the Greek word Eucharistia meaning “thanksgiving”.
Thanksgiving is the context of the entire Eucharistic Prayer. We offer the prayer of praise and thanksgiving over the
bread and the wine which become the Body and Blood of Christ for the saving work of God accomplished in Christ’s
Passion, Death, and Resurrection.
Significantly, the universal Catechism describes the Eucharistic Prayer as “consecratory thanksgiving”
(Catechism of the Catholic Church 1346) which means that in the act of saying “thank you” to the Father we are at the
same time asking him to make sacred all of his creation, the bread and wine, his whole Church, and all her members
both living and dead. Saint Justin (A.D. 100-165) said: “Because this bread and wine have been made Eucharist
(‘eucharisted,’ according to an ancient expression), ‘we call this food Eucharist’” (Apol. 1, 66, 1-2: PG 6, 428. Quoted in
the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1355).
It is important to emphasize that the whole Eucharistic Prayer is directed to God the Father because we
Catholics have been charged by our separated brethren with praying more to the Virgin Mary and the other saints than
to God the Creator. Being the Great Prayer of the Church, the Eucharistic Prayer is the great example we can use in
explaining that, indeed, we Catholics adore (latria) God the Father through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit and we venerate especially the Virgin Mary (hyperdulia) and the other saints (dulia). Thus, in the Eucharistic Prayer, we give
thanks and pray:
To you, therefore, most merciful Father …..
through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord:…
In communion with those whose memory we venerate,
especially the glorious ever-Virgin Mary …
and all your Saints…
in the unity of the Holy Spirit…(Eucharistic Prayer I).
Collection of Palm Branches
Palm branches that were received last year on
Palm Sunday are being collected. Last year’s palms will
be burned at a ceremony on Tuesday, February 17, following the 8:00am Mass. The ashes from these burned
palms will be blessed and used for our services on Ash
Wednesday. Labeled boxes have been placed in the
Vestibule and side doors of the Church. Please put the
palm branches in these boxes.
Palm Burning Ceremony
All are welcome to the ceremony for the
burning of palm branches that will be held
Tuesday, February 17, 2015
Following the 8:00am Mass
All parishioners are invited to attend this ceremony. The
ashes from these burned palms will be blessed and used
for our services on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2015
2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
We are to use our everyday actions and conversations to
help attract others to Jesus. Through their witness of
Jesus as the Messiah, John the Baptist and Saint Andrew
are instrumental to the world coming to know about Jesus
and His mission on earth. By telling a friend or relative
about Jesus, which is what these men did, we are continuing this work of evangelization today.

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
The confirmation retreat really opened my eyes to a
different view of our faith. I feel like I've learned so much,
but a few things stood out to me. One was that we really
were a family. All of us students went to the retreat not
knowing what to expect. Some didn't want to go, some
were excited, and others just had no clue what to think.
But during the retreat, I was able to see some people
open up to let Jesus into their hearts and it was amazing.
We all showed that we were there for each other
because we're all on the same journey together. Our
teachers treated us like family, and it spread into a love
that could not be contained.
I feel like a big part for me was that at the retreat, I
was able to let go of my burdens. From confession, to
talking one on one with our discussion leaders, to just
having alone time to actually talk to God. After retreat, I
felt refreshed. The world gets so busy sometimes, and
it's easy to forget that you are never alone. So many
people are right by your side and if they aren't, there's
always God. He'll always be there to listen to you
because He knows you more than you know yourself. I
realized that we need to clear our minds and hearts to
make room for Him, and maybe then we'll see the truth.
This retreat has strengthened my love for not only
Him, but for everyone else. I want to spread His great
and powerful love so that others can feel it, too. I'm really
grateful that the retreat was made to be over a whole
weekend because I feel that this really was the event that
made me want to confirm my love for this life in His glory
and grace. Thank you to everyone that was apart of this
experience and I want to thank everyone in our church for their prayers.
-Christen Bautista

"Do not conform yourselves to this age but be
transformed by the renewal of your mind that you may
discern what is the WILL OF GOD, what is good and
pleasing and perfect." - Romans 12:2.
This was Confirmation II's first batch in a long time to
have a three day retreat and I am very thankful and
blessed to be a part of it. Many of us came because it
was mandatory and did not know what to expect. But as
all of us gathered for this three day retreat, we began to
see CLARITY in our faith as Catholics. We have become
more open with our hearts and minds, as well as feeling
more closer to our faith in God. We have become a family under God. I feel very blessed to have experienced it
with everyone in this Confirmation batch of 2015. After
this retreat, I was happy to know that a lot of us want to
embrace our faith and do more for the Church.

Convalidation
Are you married, but not in the Catholic
Church? Is it your desire to be married in the
Catholic Church?
Esta Casado, Pero No en la Iglesa Catolica?
Desea Usted Ser Casado
en la Iglesia Catolica?
Holy Family Parish is offering you the
opportunity to make your wish come true
on June 13, 2015. If you would like more
information please call the Liturgy Office
at 562 924 8024 and leave your name, or
register in the rectory and someone will
contact you.
All information is kept confidential.
La Iglesia de La Sagrada Familia está ofreciendo la oportunidad de llenar este deseo el 27 de
junio 2015. El equipo de “Convalidación” de
esta parroquia espera su llamada. Para más
información, por favor llame al (562- 9248024), deje su nombre y su número de teléfono.
(Toda información personal es confidencial)
MATRIMONIO EN LA IGLESIA CATOLICA
Nos ha llamado la atención que muchas parejas de habla hispana tienen el concepto equivocado que para
casarse en la Iglesia Católica es necesario estar casado civilmente primero. Esto no es un requisito para casarse en la
Iglesia. Nosotros sabemos que en la mayoría de los países Latino Americanos estar casados civil es requerido. Con
esta información, esperamos que mas parejas vendrán a recibir el Sacramento del Matrimonio. Si todavía tienen confusión o preguntas, por favor llamen a la Rectoría y hagan una cita para hablar con un sacerdote.
Para esas parejas casadas civilmente y quienes desean casarse en la Iglesia Católica, el Grupo de Convalidación
planeara otra Ceremonia de Convalidación Comunal para el próximo Junio. Nosotros queremos animar a que estas
parejas no esperen, que hagan una cita para ser casados tan pronto como sea posible. Por favor de llamar a la Oficina
de Liturgia para mas información (562) 924-8024.
Coro de la Misa de las 8am
El coro de las 8am necesita voces de
hombres, también se necesita alguien
que toca el Bajo, y otros instrumentos.
Por favor, consulte Irma Ríos después
de la Misa si usted está interesado. Los ensayos son los
lunes de 7-9pm, en el cuarto en frente de la sacristía.

O God, throughout the ages you have called women and men to pursue lives of
perfect charity through the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to
make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters
who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus
Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

About the Program
The Spiritual Exercises at St. Peter Chanel
in Hawaiian Gardens, California was instituted in August of 2006 with an initial group
of two people meeting with Father Ed
Broom, OMV. From that quiet beginning
more than 4,200 people have experienced
the Exercises.
Among the fruits that participants have
experienced are:
* A deeper, more intense prayer life;
* An ability to examine one’s conscience
more closely;
* Discernment of spirits – the ability to
distinguish the voice of the Holy Spirit
from the whisperings of the evil spirit;A
deeper understanding and love of the
Sacrament of Confession;
* A greater love of Jesus present in the
Holy Eucharist;
* A love of Holy Scripture; and last but not
least,
* A deeper filial relationship with Mary, our
mother.
The Format of the Course
The course is an adaptation of the
Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Those
Exercises have been the source of great
spiritual growth for 450 years. The
Exercises forge saints and this program is
rooted in the Universal Call to Holiness.
Christ commands us: “Be holy, as your
Heavenly Father is holy” Mt. 5:48. We are
striving to become saints, even great
saints.
The program extends over 70 days
with assigned meditations based in the
Exercises and drawn from Holy Scripture.
Every week the attendees hear a presentation that teaches the Ignatian method of
prayer and outlines the structured themes
of Ignatius and provides encouragement
and direction.
This is not a Bible study course. The
attendees don’t become Bible scholars,
they become Bible lovers! All adults are
invited! New Catholics, lifelong Catholics,
non Catholics, revert Catholics, all are invited.
Materials
There is no charge for the course. The
parish supplies all the materials. Attendees
must have a Catholic Bible. Donations are
accepted to help defray the cost.
