St. Joseph News Letter 05/08/2022
Dear Saint Joseph Family in Christ,
Welcome to Saint Joseph/Old Mission San Jose and our weekly communication newsletter. I invite you to embrace and share these messages with your family and friends.
We are his people, the sheep of his flock. Psalm 100
This weekend we celebrate EASTER IV, also known as Good Shepherd Sunday. We also share this day with our beautiful mothers. Happy Mother's Day!
Today is “World Day of Prayer for Vocations.” Each year on this Sunday, we reflect on the image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd who devotedly and kindly takes care of his flock. The title “pastor” means shepherd. A shepherd leads, feeds, nurtures, comforts, corrects, and protects his flock—responsibilities that belong to all Church leaders, parents, civil leaders, and all who are in charge of others.

Dear Saint Joseph Family in Christ,
Welcome to Saint Joseph/Old Mission San Jose and our weekly communication newsletter. I invite you to embrace and share these messages with your family and friends.
I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. Psalm 30
This weekend we celebrate EASTER III. Easter is the birth of possibility, recognizing the power of God at work in the world, the power of being part of a community, a Church that Christ put in place to bring us together. We strive to live as Jesus did, serving one another, helping one another, and loving one another. Accept this challenge daily and help lift others to do the same.
A huge THANK YOU to the Saint Joseph Men's Club and all supporting ministries for bringing the parish community together for The Mission 225 Vaqueros Barbeque, previously known as The Chuck Wagon Barbeque. A great time was had by all! We look forward to many more community-building events to come.

至聖之夜逾越節守夜禮
第一部分 隆重開始守夜:燭光禮
祝福火焰及點燃復活蠟燭
主禮:親愛的兄弟姊妹:在今晚這至聖之夜,我們的主耶穌基督經由死亡,進入生命。教會邀請全球各地的子女,團聚一起,守夜祈禱。讓我們專心聆聽救主的聖言,舉行聖事,虔誠慶祝他的奧蹟,紀念他的逾越;懇求天主賜給我們懷有確切的希望,以分享主耶穌戰勝死亡的凱旋,並偕同他,一起生活在天主內。
(主禮祝福火焰)
主禮:請大家祈禱。(默禱片刻)天主,你藉你的聖子,將你的光明賜給信眾。求你聖化 ✠ 這新火,並恩賜我們,藉這逾越慶節,燃起對天上的嚮往,並能以純潔的心靈,參與永恆光明的慶節。因主耶穌基督之名,求你俯聽我們的祈禱。
眾:亞孟。
(祝福火焰後,一位輔禮人員持復活蠟燭,到主禮前。主祭以小刀,在蠟燭上刻上十字,並且在十字的上端,刻上A(希臘文的首字母),在下端,刻上W (希臘文最尾的字母);在十字四臂交匯的四個空位,刻上該年分的四個數字)

8.直到永遠。亞孟。(在十字四臂交匯的右下角,刻本年分第四個數字例:A)
(主禮可把五枚乳香釘,依十字形,插入復活蠟燭;次序如下,並念)
1.願主基督,
2.因他神聖的、
3.榮耀的傷痕,
4.護衛我們,
5.保全我們。亞孟。
點燃復活蠟燭
主禮(以新火,點燃復活蠟燭):願光榮復活的基督,以他的光輝,驅除我們心靈的黑暗。
遊行
(全體手持未點燃的蠟燭。遊行至聖堂大門口,停下)
持復活蠟燭者(舉起復活蠟燭,詠唱):基督的光!
眾:感謝天主。
(主禮由復活蠟燭點燃他的蠟燭。繼續遊行,到達聖堂中央,第二次停下。持復活蠟燭者,高舉復活蠟燭,詠唱如前;全體也答唱如前。全體信眾,在輔禮人員協助下,從復活蠟燭引火,點燃手中蠟燭。繼續遊行,到祭台前,第三次停下;持復活蠟燭者,面向信眾,高舉復活蠟燭,詠唱如前;全體也答唱如前。)
逾越頌

主禮(持著仍放於水中的復活蠟燭,念):使所有藉洗禮歸於死亡、與基督同葬的人,也與基督一起復活,獲得新生。他和你及聖神,是唯一天主,永生永王。
眾:亞孟。
棄絕罪惡
候洗者棄絕罪惡

候洗者宣認信仰 (若候洗者是嬰孩,則由父母及代父母回答)
施行洗禮
釋義禮 (釋義禮僅為闡釋所領聖事的意義)
穿白衣(可省略)
主禮:各位新教友,你們領了洗,歸於基督的,就是穿上了基督,成為新的受造物。你們現在既穿上潔白的衣服,就要保持純潔無瑕,直至到達我們的主耶穌基督的審判座前,以獲享永生。
新教友:亞孟。
(代父母協助新教友穿上潔白的衣服)
授燭光
主禮(扶著復活蠟燭):各位代父母,請上前,把基督之光,傳遞給新教友。
(代父母上前,從復活蠟燭,點燃蠟燭,遞給代子代女)
堅振聖事
主禮:各位新教友,你們已在基督內重生,成為基督及他司祭子民的一分子。現在,你們要領受在我們當中的聖神。聖神是主基督在五旬節,所派遣給宗徒的,並由宗徒和他們的繼位人,傾注給領洗的人。你們要領受的、主所預許的聖神的德能,將使你們更肖似基督,並幫助你們,為基督的苦難、死亡和復活作見證。聖神會堅強你們,使你們作教會活潑的肢體,在信德和愛德中,建設基督的奧體。
更新領洗誓諾
主禮:親愛的兄弟姊妹,藉著逾越奧蹟,我們在領洗時,已與基督一起被埋葬,並與他一同進入新的生命。我們既完成了四旬期的善功,現在就要更新我們領洗時所許下的誓諾,就是棄絕魔鬼,和它的一切惡行,並誓許在神聖大公教會內,事奉天主。所以,請你們回答:
重申棄絕罪惡(信眾手持蠟燭)
主禮:為得享天主子女的自由生活,你們棄絕罪惡嗎?
眾:棄絕。
主禮:為脫離罪惡的操縱,你們棄絕邪惡的誘惑嗎?
眾:棄絕。
主禮:你們棄絕萬惡之源的魔鬼嗎?
眾:棄絕。
宣認信仰(信眾手持蠟燭)
第四部分 感恩祭
獻禮經
上主,求你收納你子民的祈禱和奉獻,使這由逾越奧蹟所開始的祭獻,賴你的工作,成為我們獲得永生的良藥。因主耶穌基督之名,求你俯聽我們的祈禱。亞孟。
頌謝詞(逾越奧蹟)
主、聖父、全能永生的天主,我們時時歌頌你,實在是理所當然的,並有助我們獲得救恩。由於我們的逾越節羔羊 ── 基督 ── 已完成了犧牲,今夜我們更當隆重地讚美你。因為基督真是除免世罪的羔羊,他以自己的死亡,消滅了我們的死亡,並以復活,恢復了我們的生命。為此,普世萬民,洋溢著復活的喜樂,踴躍歡騰。同時,天上的掌權者和大能的天使,都同聲歌頌你的光榮,不停地歡呼:
主禮:請看,天主的羔羊;請看,除免世罪者。被邀請來赴羔羊盛宴的人,是有福的。
眾:主,我當不起你到我心裡來,只要你說一句話,我的靈魂就會痊瘉。
領主詠
我們的逾越節羔羊基督,已被祭殺,作了犧牲。所以,我們過節,只可用純潔和真誠的無酵餅。亞肋路亞。(格前5:7-8)
領主後經
上主,求你將你的愛德之神,傾注給我們,好使我們得到逾越聖事的滋養,在你的愛內,團結一致。因主耶穌基督之名,求你俯聽我們的祈禱。亞孟。
隆重祝福
主禮:願主與你們同在。
眾:也與你的心靈同在。
執事/主禮:請大家俯首,接受天主的降福。
主禮(伸手):願全能的天主,藉今日隆重的逾越慶典,降福你們,仁慈地護佑你們,使你們脫離一切罪惡。
眾:亞孟。
主禮:天主既因他獨生子的復活,更新了你們,恩賜你們永生;願天主賞賜你們充滿不朽的生命。
眾:亞孟。
主禮:今天,結束了主苦難的日子。你們既歡欣慶祝主的逾越;願你們滿懷歡躍之情,依靠主的助佑,邁向天上永恆喜樂的慶節。
眾:亞孟。
