WEEKLY Q & A FROM USCCB
COMPENDIUM OF CATECHISM OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH
THE DIGNITY OF
THE
HUMAN PERSON
THE MORALITY OF THE PASSIONS
370. WHAT ARE THE PASSIONS? The
passions are the feelings, the emotions
or the movements of the sensible
appetite - natural components of
human psychology - which incline a
person to act or not to act in view of
what is perceived as good or evil. The
principal passions are love and hatred,
desire and fear, joy, sadness, and
anger. The chief passion is love which
is drawn by the attraction of the
good. One can only love what is
good, real or apparent.

LOVE SHOWN IN ACTION
Do you receive the word of God with joy as the Thessalonians did? Their faith
showed in their actions. They became models for other believers. The first reading
tells us to put our faith into action. This passage is part of a long list of ordinances
God commanded the Israelites to observe. God will judge us by how we treat our
neighbors. God will hear the cries of any whom we neglect or mistreat and will
come to their defense. In today's Gospel the Pharisees put the question of God's
law to Jesus. “Which commandment of the law is the greatest?” (Matthew 22:36)
How could he possibly choose from all the detailed commandments the Jews
observed? He was sure to offend somebody by his answer! Of course, Jesus went
right to the heart of the matter. Love is the greatest commandment—love of God
and love of neighbor. Everything else is based on this. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
BORN TO LOVE
We were born to love, we live to love, and we will die to love still more.

CHARACTER
OUR MISSION
St. Leo Parish, a culturally diverse
Catholic community, empowered by
the Holy Spirit, is committed to
worshiping God and providing for
the spiritual development of the
parish and the larger community
through liturgy, service,
and evangelization.
OUR VISION
St. Leo Parish, fully alive
in the Body of Christ and
empowered by the Holy Spirit,
will Minister to all phases of life of
our parish and community:
 Celebrate through our Sacraments
Be recognized as a foundational
part of the community
 Be stewards of our gifts from God
 Actively welcome all
TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
Sadly, one of the most difficult
reforms of the Second Vatican
Council for the Church to embrace
has been one of the most thorough
and beautiful: the sacrament of
penance. Because it is individual and
private, it has been difficult for the
changes to take root. Sometimes a
priest may be grounded in the earlier
form, and at other times the penitent
may resist the priest’s attempt to
blend in the proper texts and rituals.
Perhaps because the new form is
almost identical in structure to the
old, it has been difficult to institute.
It may also be true that with the
liturgy in English now, it is far more
clear that the Eucharist, too, is a
“sacrament of reconciliation.” It is
certainly true that there are different
skills and gifts in ministry, and
experienced penitents know that not
all priests are equally at ease in this
sacramental encounter. Sometimes a
difficult experience can drive people
away from a liturgy that is spiritually
rich and rewarding. Yet we know
that one bad meal seldom puts
people off restaurants forever: the
dinner gong tends to dispel bad
memories, and so we try again.
Individual confession and absolution
is for us both treasure and tradition.
If you haven’t been for a while,
consider coming back to praise God
for this gift of mercy.
