Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3

July 30th, 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time:

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I usually write on this particular topic in the month of November, which is dedicated to praying for our beloved dead. However, I decided to cover it now since this very issue came up already during these past weeks. I will cover this again when we approach November. How do you plan a funeral? What should be first? First, make it known, before you die, that you want a Funeral Mass in your parish church. Then you make sure that a mortuary and cemetery have been pre-arranged. If you have already made it this far you made it all the more easier for you family not to be overburdened trying to figure all this out, not to mention how to pay for all this. Once you have already designated a mortuary and cemetery, then the funeral Mass can be planned. Normally, the night before the Funeral Mass, there is a Vigil Service. This may take place at the mortuary or the church. This, of course depends on the availability of the church; most com-mon is at the Mortuary. The Vigil Service is celebrated by a Priest or Deacon. If this is not possible then a des-ignated Lay Minister from the Bereavement Ministry will be sent to lead the prayer with the family. The Vigil Service is a celebration of the Liturgy of the Word and, if it is a custom of the family, the Rosary is prayed. The Rosary must not precede the Liturgy of the Word, nor replace it. At the end of the Vigil Service it is appropriate to have a Eulogy. This is a remembering of the one who has died – sharing memo-ries together, as all gathered keep vigil until the Funeral Mass the next day. The eulogy is not appropriate for the Funeral Mass. The Funeral Mass has its own struc-ture and it is clear what is permitted and what is not. It is the priest or his delegate who will guide the family in the preparations. On the day of the Funeral Mass, once the body and the family arrive, all gather at the main entrance of the church for the body to be received dur-ing the Initial Rites of the Funeral Mass. This part of the Ritual is to recall when the deceased was first received into the Church at baptism. The body is blessed with Holy Water and is clothed with the pall (represents the white garment that is received at baptism). I will continue with the rest of the Funeral Mass and the Burial Service next week.

Eternal Rest grant unto them O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace.

Fr. Steven Guitron

Julio 30, Decimoseptimo Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario:

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas,

Usualmente escribo sobre este tema en particular en el mes de Noviembre, que esta dedicado a rezar por nuestros queridos difuntos. Sin embargo decidi cubrirlo ahora ya que esto se presento en las ultimas semanas pasadas. Yo cubrirere este tema otra vez cuando nos acerquemos al Mes de Noviembre. Como planear un Funeral? Que es lo que debe de hacer primero? Primero hagalo saber antes que usted fallezca, que usted desea una Misa de Funeral en la iglesia de su Parroquia. Despues asegureze de hacer planes con una funeraria y el cementerio si usted a llegado a este punto a hecho mas facil para su familia que no se sienta abru-mada tratando de figurar que hacer, no digamos como pagar por todo esto. Una vez que una funeraria y cementerio han sido designados, hasta entonces se planea la misa de Funeral. Normalmene la noche ante-rior a la Misa del funeral se celebra la Vigilia. Esto puede llevarse a cabo en la funeraria o en la iglesia. Esto depende de la disponibilidad de la iglesia; lo mas comun es en la funeraria. El servicio de Vigilia es celebrada por un sacerdote o Deacono. Si esto no es possible un ministro Layco del Ministerio de Duelo sera enviado para hacer las oraciones con la familia. El Servicio de la Vigilia es una celebracion de la Liturgia de la Palabra, si se trata de una costrumbre de la familia se reza el Rosario El Rosario no debe precede a la Liturgia de la Palabra o reemplazarlo. Al final de la Vigilia es apropi-ado hacer un homenaje. Esto es recordar a la persona fallecida compartiendo recuerdos todos reunidos man-tengamos la Vigilia hasta la Misa funebre al sigiente dia. El homenaje no es apropiado para la Misa del Funeral. La Misa del Funeral tiene su propia estructura y es claro lo que permite y lo que no permite. Es el Sacerdote o su delegado quien guiara a la familia a en sus preparativos. En el dia de la Misa del Funeral, una vez que el cuerpo y la familia llegan a la iglesia, todos se reunen frente a la entrada principal de la iglesia y que el cuerpo sea recivido al inicio del Rito de la Misa Funeral. Esta parte del Ritual es para recordar que el fallecido fue recivido en la iglesia por primera vez al ser bautizado. El cuerpo es bendecido con agua bendita y cubierto con el Palio (representa la vestidura blanca que es recivida en el bautismo). Continuare con el resto de la Misa del Funeral y el Sepelio la proxima semana.

O Señor concedeles el Eterno Descanso, dejad que la luz perpetua brille sobre ellos. Que descansen en paz.

Padre Esteban Guitron

ter, canned tuna, cereal, canned fruit, ramen, rice, hygiene products for men and women, socks, and plastic forks and spoons. Thank you for your continued support.

Keeping Kids Safe After School You can help keep your children safe by knowing where they spend their time after school. Get to know the adults who show up

at the various locations in the community where children gather and where they play together. Be wary of any adult who seems more interested in creating a relation-ship with a child than with other adults. Pay attention when an adult seems to single out a child for a relation-ship or for special attention. Warning signs include treats, gifts, vacations, or other special favors offered only to one specific child. For more information, please call the Archdiocesan Safeguard the Children office: (213) 637-7227. For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) 637-7650. For upcoming Virtus Training: http://virtusonline.org/virtus/reg_list.cfm?theme=0

Mantegna Seguros a Sus Niños Después de la Escuela Usted puede mantener a sus hijos segu-

ros con simplemente saber en donde pasan su tiempo después de la escuela. Identifique y conozca a los adultos que se aparecen en los difer-entes lugares en la comunidad donde se reúnen los niños y juegan juntos. Tenga cuidado con cualquier adulto que parece más interesado en crear una relación con un niño que con otros adultos, en par-ticular en los adultos que parecen señalar a un niño en especial para formar una relación especial. Las señales de advertencia incluyen golosinas, regalos, vacaciones u otros favores especiales. Para más in-formación, por favor llame a la oficina arquidioce-sana de Salvaguardar a los Niños (Archdiocesan Safeguard the Children office): (213) 637-7227. Para obtener ayuda, llame a la Oficina del Ministerio de Ayuda al (213) 637-7650. Para proximo entrenamiento sessiones de Virtus: http://virtusonline.org/virtus/reg_list.cfm?
