Sing to the Lord a New Song... using new hymnals! Breaking Bread —our new hymnal, combines elements of a hymnal and a missal. It is up-
dated with new music each year, and it contains more than 850 songs! Breaking Bread in-
cludes the Order of Mass and incorporates different Mass settings that are faithful to the
new translation of the Roman Missal. In addition, Breaking Bread combines a synopsis of the
Lectionary readings for every Sunday of the year along with the assembly responses to the
proclamation of the Scripture. It also includes proper liturgical rituals of the church with
their corresponding music. Breaking Bread is a very good tool for evangelization and for
our continuing formation as Christ’s disciples.
Flor y Canto III —our hymnal for the Spanish-speaking congregation in our parish also
provides great tools for evangelization and discipleship formation. Flor y Canto has over 740 songs from more
than 15 Spanish-speaking regions from around the world including different regions in the US. Flor y Canto also
includes the liturgical rites of the church with their corresponding music. Like Breaking Bread it also contains dif-
ferent Mass settings that faithfully present the new translation of the Roman Missal.

Además, Breaking Bread combina un resumen de las lecturas del Leccionario para todos los domingos del año,
junto con las respuestas de la asamblea a la proclamación de la Escritura. También incluye ritos litúrgicos propios
de la iglesia con su música correspondiente. Breaking Bread es una herramienta muy buena
para la evangelización y para nuestra formación continua como discípulos de Cristo.

Tues, July 1 —Weekday Am 3:1-8; 4:11-12 Ps 5 Mt 8:23-27 How often do we fail to hear God’s word and sin? How often do we fail to trust in the Lord who loves us? Wed, July 2 —Weekday Am 5:14-15, 21-24 Ps 50 Mt 8:28-34 Jesus confronts the power of evil. Israel is summoned to abandon her evil ways and to seek justice for all. . Thurs, July 3 —Saint Thomas, Apostle Eph 2:19-22 Ps 117 Jn 20:24-29 Our faith is built upon the apostles who saw the risen Lord and proclaimed his resurrection.

COMMUNITY CATECHESIS
You are Peter, and I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul Week of June 29, 2014
Listen to the Word (Matthew 16:13-19)
As you listen to this Scripture story today, what is one word or thought that really struck you? What image do you take away from
this reading?
Look into your life Question for children: Who do you say that Jesus is? Question for youth: How does the way you live your life show that you are a follower of Christ? Question for adults: Before the Resurrection, Peter denied Je-sus three times. But in today’s Gospel, we hear about a Peter who has unshakable faith. He clearly proclaims that Jesus is Christ, the Son of the living God. What can you do to strengthen your faith and draw nearer to Christ?
Activities for the week Take these activities to further reflect: • In order to love someone, we need to really get to know that
person. And getting to know someone takes time. Invite family members to share about a person they really know well and love. Then discuss how we can really get to know Jesus.
• Talk about how if we really know and love Jesus, we live as his followers. Invite family members to share how they show they are followers of Jesus by their actions.
• Peter remained faithful even in difficult times. Talk about how your family remains faithful even when life is difficult. Or talk about a person you know who has remained faithful to God even when life has been difficult.
• Discuss the following question: Who do you say that Jesus is?
CATEQUESIS COMUNITARIA
Tú eres Pedro y a ti te daré las llaves del reino de los cielos
Solemnidad de los santos Pedro y Pablo Semana del 29 de junio del 2014
Escucha la Palabra (Mateo16:13-19)
Al escuchar esta lectura de hoy, ¿qué palabra o pensamiento los im-pactó realmente? ¿Qué imagen se llevan de esta lectura?
Ve tu vida
Pregunta para los niños: ¿Quién dicen ustedes que es Jesús ? Pregunta para los jóvenes: ¿De qué manera demuestra que es un seguidor de Cristo en su diario vivir? Pregunta para los adultos: Antes de la resurrección, Pedro negó a Jesús tres veces. Pero en el Evangelio de hoy, oímos de un Pedro con una fe firme. Él proclama claramente que Jesús es Cristo, el Hijo del Dios vivo. ¿Qué pueden hacer para fortalecer su fe y acercarse a Cristo?
Actividades para la semana Tomen estas actividades para reflexionar mas: • Para amar a alguien, necesitamos conocer realmente a esa perso-
na. Y se necesita tiempo para llegar a conocer a alguien. Inviten a familiares para hablar sobre una persona que realmente conocen y aman. Luego, hablen sobre cómo podemos llegar a conocer real-mente a Jesús.
• Comenten sobre cómo al conocer realmente y amar a Jesús, esta-mos viviendo como sus seguidores. Inviten a familiares a decir cómo muestran que son seguidores de Jesús por medio de sus acciones.
• Pedro mantuvo su fe aún en tiempos difíciles. Hablen de cómo su familia mantiene la fe aún ante las dificultades de la vida. O hablen sobre una persona que conozcan que se ha mantenido fiel a Dios aun cuando ha llevado una vida difícil.
• Comenten la siguiente pregunta: ¿Quién dicen ustedes que es Jesús?

A fraternal service organization of
Catholic men dedicated to the prin-
ciples of Charity, Unity, Fraternity
and Patriotism. Membership pro-
vides the opportunity for fellowship
with those who are of the same be-
lief, who recognize the same duty
to God, to family and to neighbor
and who stand side by side in defense of
those beliefs. Knights are Catholic men, 18
years of age and older, who are committed to
making their community a better place. Ac-
tivities center on church, youth, community
and family. The Ladies Auxiliary assists in
promoting the activities of the Knights of Co-
lumbus.
Catholics on vacation should always make time for Sunday Mass. The locations for churches and the times of services are easy to obtain on line. Remember it doesn’t
take much planning to include worship as part of your time away from home. If you know in ad-
vance that you cannot attend Mass some Sunday while vacationing, you should obtain a dispensa-
tion; however, make an effort to worship every Sunday, even when you are away from home.
Remember that God never takes a vacation from us!
Católicos de vacaciones siempre deben tener tiempo para la Misa dominical. La ubicacion de las iglesias y las horas de los servicios es fácil de obtener en línea. Recuerde que no
se necesita mucho para planificar ir a la iglesia como parte de su tiempo de vacaciones fuera de
casa. Si usted sabe de antemano que no puede asistir a Misa un domingo mientras esta de vaca-
ciones, debe obtener una dispensa, sin embargo, debe hacer un esfuerzo para ir a Misa todos los
domingos, incluso cuando usted está fuera de casa.
¡Recuerde que Dios nunca se toma vacaciones de nosotros!

Stewardship: A disciple’s prayerful response to God’s blessings!
PACEM IN TERRIS El derecho de mandar constituye una exigen-
cia del orden espiritual y dimana de Dios. Por
ello, si los gobernantes promulgan una ley o
dictan una disposición cualquiera contraria a
ese orden espiritual y, por consiguiente, opuesta
a la voluntad de Dios, en tal caso ni la ley pro-
mulgada ni la disposición dictada pueden obli-
gar en conciencia al ciudadano, ya que es nece-
sario obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres.
Más aún, en semejante situación, la propia
autoridad se desmorona por completo y se ori-
gina una iniquidad espantosa. Así lo enseña Santo
Tomás: “En cuanto a lo segundo, la ley humana tiene
razón de ley sólo en cuanto se ajusta a la recta razón. Y
así considerada, es manifiesto que procede de la ley eter-
na. Pero, en cuanto se aparta de la recta razón, es una
ley injusta, y así no tiene carácter de ley, sino más bien
de violencia.” (51)
PACEM IN TERRIS
Governmental authority, therefore,
is a postulate of the moral order and
derives from God. Consequently, laws
and decrees passed in contravention of
the moral order, and hence of the di-
vine will, can have no binding force in
conscience, since "it is right to obey
God rather than men [sic]."
Indeed, the passing of such laws un-
dermines the very nature of authority
and results in shameful abuse. As St.
Thomas teaches, "In regard to the second proposi-
tion, we maintain that human law has the rationale
of law in so far as it is in accordance with right
reason, and as such it obviously derives from eter-
nal law. A law which is at variance with reason is
to that extent unjust and has no longer the rationale
of law. It is rather an act of violence." (51)

SPECIAL COLLECTION
Every three years the Archdiocese of Atlanta will hold a special collection for the Archdiocese of
Military Services (AMS) and our parish will take up this collection next weekend. The guiding mission of the AMS is to provide the sacraments—and the re-affirming word of Christ—to the men and women serving in our armed forces, pa-tients in VA medical centers, civilians working for the federal government be-
yond US borders, and the families of these popu-lations. To provide this service they need your help—the AMS receives no federal funding. Please prayerfully consider a generous contribu-tion to the first-ever national Collection for the Archdiocese for the Military Services.
COLECTA ESPECIAL
Cada tres años nuestra Arquidiócesis de Atlanta realiza una colecta especial por la Arquidiócesis para los Servicios Militares de EE.UU. (AMS por sus siglas en inglés) y nuestra parroquia tendrá esta colecta el próximo fin de semana. La misión rectora de la AMS es ofrecer los sacramentos—y la recon-fortante palabra de Cristo—a los hombres y mujeres que sirven en nuestras Fuerzas Arma-das, a enfermos en los Centros Médicos de la Administración de Salud de Veteranos, a los empleados civiles del gobierno federal destacados fuera del país, y a los familiares de estos grupos de personas. Para ofrecer estos servicios, ellos necesitan de su ayuda; la AMS no recibe fondos federales. Por favor, en oración consideren contribuir generosamente a la primera Colecta Nacional para la Arquidiócesis de los Servicios Militares.
