Parish Family Prayers
Because He loved us first, we seek to do His will. For the month of September we dedicate our Parish Family Prayer for all students. This week we pray for Junior High and High School students. Prayer to St. Anthony of Padua: O blessed Saint Anthony, I place my studies under your powerful protection. Through your intercession may the Holy Spirit fill me with light, strength, intelligence, and humility. I implore the creator of all things to grant me the ability to grasp things correctly and the talent of exactness in my explanations. Amen. Saint Anthony of Padua, pray for us.

Por medio de tu intercesión que el Espíritu Santo me llene de luz, fuerza, inteligencia y humildad. Imploro al Creador de todas las cosas, que me conceda la habilidad de captar las cosas correctamente y el talento de la precisión en mis explicaciones. Amén San Antonio de Padua, ruega por nosotros.

Pray for an End to Abortion / Oremos por el fin del aborto Over ten years ago, the Respect Life ministry at St. Bartholomew joined the “Forty Churches” program of the Houston Coalition for Life. As part of that program, parishioners of St. Bartholomew pray at the Planned Parenthood clinic (4600 Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX 77023) on the third Friday of all odd-numbered months (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep and Nov). We split each day into three 2 ½ hour shifts, but you are welcome to come for any length of time. We carpool for each shift from the St. Bartholomew parking lot, leaving at 6:30 AM, 9 AM, and noon. The carpool leads are: 6:30 AM - Mark and Pam Wegenka (281-395-4223)
9:00 AM - Margaret Parmenter (832-405-4054) 12:00 PM - Dan Stuckey (281-804-4006)
Desde hace más de diez años, el Ministerio de Respeto a la Vida de San Bartolomé se unió al programa "Cuarenta Iglesias" de la Coalición por la vida de Houston. Cómo parte de este programa, nuestros parroquianos rezan afuera de la clínica Planned Parenthood (4600 Gulf Freeway, Houston, TX 77023) el tercer Viernes de todos los meses impares (Enero, Marzo, Mayo, Julio, Septiembre y Noviembre). El día está dividido en 3 turnos de 2 horas y media cada uno, pero todos son bienvenidos a cualquier hora y la cantidad de tiempo que desee. Nos vamos en caravana para cada turno, partiendo de San Bartolomé a las 6:30am, 9am y medio día. Las personas encargadas de la caravana son:
6:30 AM - Mark y Pam Wegenka (281-395-4223) 9:00 AM - Margaret Parmenter (832-405-4054) 12:00 PM - Dan Stuckey (281-804-4006)

~In the School of Mary~ CHRISTIFIDELES LAICI
(The Lay Members of Christ’s Faithful People) -A condensation of the document-
PART IV: Laborers in the Lord’s Vineyard: Good
Stewards of God’s Varied Grace The Presence and Collaboration of Men together with Women
The Synod Fathers think that there is an urgent need for every Christian to live and proclaim the message of hope in the relationship between man and woman. Matrimony reveals this relationship as a sign of the relation between Christ and his Church. The Fathers also emphasized that the esteem for virginity and for motherhood must be restored. The Sick and the Suffering
Though people are called to joy, they experience many forms of suffering. The Church reminds them that she shares their suffering. She takes it to the Lord who in turn associates them with his redeeming Passion. This suffering is needed to teach the world what love truly is.
Sickness is the most frequent expression of suffering. However, even the sick are called by Christ and are sent forth as laborers into the Lord’s vineyard. The sick are called to live their human and Christian vocation in an even more valuable manner. The Holy Father urges that the words of the Apostle Paul become our approach to life illuminating each situation as a moment of grace. “In my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s affliction for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.” (Col 1:24) Thus, the Apostle is raised in joy: “I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake.” (Col 1:24)
At the Synod a handicapped presenter made it clear that Christians who live with illness, pain, and old age are called by God not only to unite their suffering to Christ’s Passion but also to transmit to others the power of the renewal and joy of the risen Christ.
In his Apostolic Exhortation on suffering, Salvifici Doloris, the Pope says that the Church has to meet man on the path of suffering. The suffering individual is the way of the Church because that person is, first of all, the way of Christ himself who is the Good Samaritan who “does not pass by” but “has compassion on him, goes to him… binds up his wounds… takes care of him.” (Lk 10:32-34)
Through the centuries the Christians have reenacted that gospel parable, caring for the multitudes of sick and suffering. In these days there is an increased presence of lay women and men in Catholic health care institutions. It is to just such people - doctors, nurses, other health care workers, volunteers - that their calling becomes a living sign of Jesus and his Church in showing practical love toward the sick and suffering.
(My own comment: These words of Pope John Paul II on suffering seem exceedingly prophetic when we recall how this Holy Father with dignity, amidst his personal physical debilitation and suffering, lived out the final years and days of his life.)

Q. Is the liturgical renewal happening at other parishes? What percentage of parishes?
A. This is a wonderful question and requires a multifaceted answer. In some sense, a liturgical
renewal is (or should be) happening in every parish because every priest, layperson, parish, and diocese is called to constant renewal and growth in perfection. In another sense, and in the sense that we presume was top of mind for the parishioner who asked this question, we can say the following: We are aware of a number of parishes throughout the Archdiocese and the country that have already, are in the midst of, or are just beginning a renewal like we have been pursuing at St. Bartholomew. Some of these parishes are years ahead of us and have provided a model for our parish. Others are learning from us. Still others seem to be like us in that they are simply and organically being moved by the Holy Spirit and by the priorities expressed over and over again in the Church’s documents.
Though it would be fine if we were “going it alone” (with the support of the Church’s documents, of course) it is wonderful and inspiring to see that in pockets there is a new springtime of liturgical renewal afoot. While this is inspiring we also know that popularity is not a measure of what one ought to do! That similar renewals are happening should come as no surprise as St. John Paul II, and especially Pope Benedict, emphasized the absolute centrality of the liturgy in the life of the Christian. But in short, we are definitely aware of numerous parishes here and there that are engaging in a liturgical renewal that is organic.
At the same time this renewal could be described as being top-down as well. We have already mentioned St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict. But Pope Francis has also called for a renewal in sacred liturgy. In a recent document Pope Francis writes, “I ask you to be vigilant in ensuring that every liturgy be celebrated with decorum and fidelity to the liturgical books promulgated after Vatican Council II, without the eccentricities that can easily degenerate into abuses. Seminarians and new priests should be formed in the faithful observance of the prescriptions of the Missal and liturgical books, in which is reflected the liturgical reform willed by Vatican Council II.” These words of our Pope could be identified as the “mission statement” of the liturgical renewal. Indeed, this parish has been called by the Holy Spirit, and yes, by Pope Francis, to avoid abuses within the liturgy, to be faithful to the liturgical books, and to a vigilant and faithful observance of all that the Church teaches about liturgy. Though it takes time and patience, we are committed to being shaped by the liturgy rather than trying to shape the liturgy around us.
Do you have a question about liturgy that you would like to have answered by the Liturgy Task Force? If so please submit it to Laura at [email protected] with “Liturgical Question” in the subject line.
¿Está ocurriendo la renovación litúrgica en otras parroquias? ¿Qué porcentaje de parroquias?
Esta es una pregunta maravillosa y requiere una respuesta multifacética. En cierto sentido, una renovación litúrgica está (o debería estar sucediendo) en cada parroquia porque cada sacerdote, laico, parroquia y diócesis está llamado a una renovación
constante y un crecimiento en la perfección. En otro sentido, y en el sentido que suponemos fue lo más importante para el feligrés que hizo esta pregunta, podemos decir lo siguiente: Conocemos una serie de parroquias en toda la Arquidiócesis y en el país que ya están o recién están comenzando una renovación como la que hemos estado haciendo en San Bartolomé. Algunas de estas parroquias están años por delante de nosotros y han proporcionado un modelo para nuestra parroquia. Otras están aprendiendo de nosotros. Otras parecen ser como nosotros en el sentido de que el Espíritu Santo los mueve simple y orgánicamente a buscar las prioridades expresadas en los documentos de la Iglesia.

documentos de la Iglesia, por supuesto) es maravilloso e inspirador ver que hay varias parroquias buscando una renovación litúrgica. Si bien esto es inspirador, también sabemos que la popularidad no es una medida de lo que uno debería hacer. No debería sorprendernos que estén sucediendo renovaciones similares, ya que San Juan Pablo II, y especialmente el Papa Benedicto, enfatizaron la absoluta centralidad de la liturgia en la vida del cristiano. Pero, en definitiva, estamos concientes que muchas parroquias en diferentes lugares están comprometidas a una renovación litúrgica orgánica.
Al mismo tiempo, esta renovación también podría describirse como una acción que Dios está haciendo. Ya hemos mencionado a San Juan Pablo II y al Papa Benedicto. Pero el Papa Francisco también ha pedido una renovación en la sagrada liturgia. En un documento reciente, el Papa Francisco escribe: “Les pido que estén atentos para que cada liturgia se celebre con decoro y fidelidad a los libros litúrgicos promulgados después del Concilio Vaticano II, sin las excentricidades que fácilmente pueden degenerar en abusos. Los seminaristas y los nuevos sacerdotes deben formarse en la fiel observancia de las prescripciones del Misal y de los libros litúrgicos, en los que se refleja la reforma litúrgica querida por el Concilio Vaticano II ”. Estas palabras de nuestro Papa podrían identificarse como la “declaración de misión” de la renovación litúrgica. De hecho, esta parroquia ha sido llamada por el Espíritu Santo, y sí, por el Papa Francisco, para evitar abusos dentro de la liturgia, para ser fiel a los libros litúrgicos y para una observancia vigilante y fiel de todo lo que la Iglesia enseña sobre liturgia. Aunque se necesita tiempo y paciencia, estamos comprometidos a ser moldeados por la liturgia en lugar de tratar de moldear la liturgia para ajustarse a nuestras formas cómodas que nos rodean.
¿Tiene alguna pregunta sobre la liturgia que le gustaría que el Grupo Litúrgico respondiera? Si es así, envíela a Laura a [email protected] con “Pregunta Litúrgica” en la línea de asunto.
