FOCUS Missionaries
There are 4 Catholic young adults whose full-time job is to minister to college students at Colorado Mesa University (CMU) in Grand Junction. Many of our High School graduates who go there benefit from this important service, and that matters so much to us because we want them to keep practicing their faith. Right now, $2,450 is needed to finish paying the salaries for these missionaries, so they can continue this great work. If you would be willing to chip in, please contact Clay Patterson at: 970-249-3319, ext. 18.
 
SIGNIFICADO DEL PULSERA O CADENITA ROJA EN LOS BEBES Y NIÑOS
 
A través de los años y por generaciones, las familias han adquirido la costumbre de poner a sus hijos una pulsera o lacito rojo en su muñeca, especialmente a los bebes, es importante conocer el significado de ello.
Cuando le ponemos una pulsera roja a nuestros hijos con la intención de protegerlos de algún mal o para prevenirlos de que les hagan mal de ojo, esto es algo que no es de nuestra Fe católica, si no que es llamado
superstición y en lugar de hacer un bien puede causar un daño espiritual.
Es diferente cuando la pulsera es un decenario y tiene la imagen de la Virgen de Guadalupe o un Santo y siempre y cuando no se use con la intención de bloquear el mal de ojo.
Los sacramentos, la oración y la bendición de los padres por nuestros hijos es la mejor protección.

MEANING OF THE RED BRACELET OR CHAIN ON BABIES AND CHILDREN
 
Over the years and for generations, families have acquired the custom of putting a bracelet or red chain on their children’s wrists, especially on babies, it is important to know the meaning of it.
When we put a red bracelet on our children with the intention of protecting them from some evil or to prevent them from getting the
evil eye, this is something that is not part of our Catholic Faith, but is called superstition and instead of doing a good it can cause spiritual harm.
It is different when the bracelet is a rosary and has the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe or a Saint and as long as it is not used with the
intention of blocking the evil eye.
The sacraments, prayer and parental blessing for our children is the best protection


Are YOU interested in devotion to the Divine Mercy?
Church members of St. Mary's Parish are invited to a Divine Mercy Cenacle Formation group. Gatherings will be on Mondays at 2:00pm. The first meeting is planned for Monday, September 25th at 2:00pm. Books and study aids are required. Contact Angie at 970-209-2334 for information on the books and/or meetings. The source of information and books is www.theDivineMercy.org
The Divine Mercy Cenale is a group of parishioners devoted to praying the Divine Mercy. Each member commits to the daily prayer of the Divine Mercy. Many Catholics have discovered that devotion to the Divine Mercy has enriched and enhanced their lives. Expect miracles when the Divine Mercy is prayed daily.
According to the Christian Bible, the 1st Cenacle was the group in which the apostles continued
to gather after the Last Supper, and it was also the group where the Holy Spirit alighted upon the faithful at Pentecost.
Cenacles are considered lay outreach ministries where members, known as Eucharistic apostles, live the Divine Mercy mission, promote the real presence of Jesus in the blessed Sacrament, and pray for vocations and life issues.
