Fr. Schuessler’s reflexión para el 5-26-24
¿Recuerdan el dicho: La liturgia es la sierva de la espiritualidad? Con la celebración de Pentecostés el domingo pasado, entramos de nuevo en el Tiempo Ordinario después de celebrar la Cuaresma, la Semana Santa y la Pascua. En este contexto, “ordinario” no significa ” común y corriente”. Significa del latín, semanas numéricas ordenadas. La explicación oficial dice: “Además de las […]
Fr. Geary’s Letter for 5-26-24
Dear Parishioners of St. James: The Church celebrates the Most Holy Trinity this Sunday, a solemnity recognizing the inner life of God Himself. The Lord revealed Himself to men in time but His divine nature never had a beginning and will never have an end. Eternally He is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, […]
Fr. Schuessler’s Reflection 5-26-24
Remember the saying: The liturgy is the handmaiden of spirituality? With the celebration of Pentecost last Sunday, we enter again into Ordinary Time after celebrating Lent, Holy Week and Easter. In this context “ordinary” does not mean “common place.” It means from the Latin, ordered numerical weeks. The official explanation says: “Besides the times of the year that have their own distinctive character, there remains in the yearly cycle thirty-three or thirty-four weeks in which […]

Fr. Schuessler’s reflexión para el 5-19-24
Durante este año de Avivamiento Eucarístico, me gustaría seguir reflexionando sobre ese maravilloso regalo que Jesús nos dejó. Hoy es el día de Pentecostés, celebramos la venida del Espíritu Santo. El Espíritu Santo tiene un papel central en la celebración de la Santa Misa. En nuestro Rito Romano, justo antes de la consagración, el sacerdote extiende sus manos sobre el pan y el vino. El monaguillo (normalmente) toca la campanita. En la Plegaria […]
Fr. Schuessler’s Reflection 5-19-24
During this year of Eucharistic Revival, I would like to continue reflecting on that amazing gift Jesus left us. Today is Pentecost Sunday. We celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit has a central role in the celebration of Holy Mass. In our Roman Rite, just before the consecration the priest extends his hands over the bread and wine. The server (usually) rings the bell. In Eucharistic Prayer II, he prays: […]
Deacon Stu Dobson’s Reflection 5-17-24
Friday of the 7th week of Easter, May 17, 2024 Acts 25: 13b-21; Ps 103-1-2, 11-12, 19-20; Jn 21:15-19 The other day, a group of men were sitting around talking about their life in Christ. It seemed to be a great topic given Pentecost is on Sunday. Often, we forget how we first met the Lord. […]
