The Zeitgeist
Zeitgeist is a German word
meaning, roughly, the spirit of
the times. It’s not always easy
to capture the spirit of times
so as to give it a clear,
comprehensive and durable
meaning. Elusiveness is, of
course, the nature of spiritual
things. Nonetheless, from the
perspective of Christian discipleship, one thing is clear:
not every spirit comes from
God (cf 1 John 4:1-3). Therefore,
the Apostle admonishes us, we
are to test the spirits, to probe
and discern them to see if they
are consistent with Gospel of
Jesus, with our Lord’s example,
with the Son’s love for the
Father and God’s love for us.
Two very disturbing elements
of the national Zeitgeist have
penetrated to northern Nevada
in recent months and will
begin, more and more, to
impact the Body of Christ in
both its spiritual mission and its
institutional commitments.
Firstly, there is a bill (SJR-13)
before the 77th Legislature now
in session in Carson City that
removes from the Nevada
Constitution the definition of
marriage as the union of one
man and one woman. This is
certainly the national Zeitgeist,
is it not? Who today has not
witnessed the spectacle of once
conservative and allegedly profamily politicians bailing out of
the “sinking” ship of traditional
marriage? While politicians are
thinking of the polling that
impacts fundraising for their
next election campaign, the
rest of the nation stands in utter
bewilderment as the last
vestiges of natural law are
stripped away from the most
fundamental institution of our
society. The procreation of
children is eviscerated of any
meaning in the context of law
and public policy.
Secondly, Planned Parenthood
is promoting legislation
(AB-230) that will place their
pro-abortion and pro-contraception agenda into every
Nevada public school classroom as a requirement. How
ironic that our state consistently ranks at the bottom of the
list of national high school
graduation rates, but instead of
lowering teacher-student ratios
in the public school classroom,
the Zeitgeist would rather
dispense contraception to
twelve year olds without their
parents’ knowledge.
No indeed, it is not every spirit
that comes from God.

ANNUAL DIOCESAN RECOGNITION BANQUET
EVERY YEAR, EACH PARISH IN THE DIOCESE OF RENO RECOGNIZES
TWO PARISHIONERS WHO STAND OUT FOR THEIR GENEROSITY IN TIME AND TALENT.
THIS YEAR, THE CATHEDRAL RECOGNIZED BRIAN SAEMAN & JUAN IBARRA.
Brian Saeman, an alumnus of the University of Nevada and Gonzaga University of Law. Brian is
an active parish council member of St Thomas Aquinas Cathedral, a past Grand Knight of Nevada
Council 978 and a member of the Reno Catholic Business & Professional Organization. At the University of Nevada, Brian is an Alumni Council board member and this year’s Vice-President for Student Outreach. Professionally, Brian has served as an editor of the Across Borders International
Law Journal, is a current member of the Nevada Bar. Here in Reno, he has served as an intern at
Delay, Curran, Thompson, Portarolo & Walker and as a shareholder at Guild, Russell, Gallagher &
Fuller, Ltd.
Whether it’s in connection with the Knights of Columbus or Parish Council activities or ushering
and helping to keep things orderly a the Sunday-morning Masses, when you need something done,
Brian is a go-to guy at St Thomas Aquinas Cathedral. Just last month, when the Cathedral’s Homeschooling Coop director expressed her concern about having to cook corned beef and cabbage for
more than 100 people for the St Patrick’s dinner, he was heard to have remarked, “cooking for a
hundred is no problem. It’s just like cooking for two hundred!” Apparently, his experience in the
Knights of Columbus have taught him skills that you can’t count on learning in law school. At the
Cathedral, we’re very proud to have Brian as an active parishioners & Parish Council Member.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Juan Ibarra born in tiny town of Capilla de la Virgen de Guadalupe in Jalisco, Mexico. Juan Ibarra
was reared according to a traditional Mexican piety that emphasizes personal humility, religious
duty and filial devotion to the Mother of God under her title as the Virgen de Guadalupe. A resident of Nevada for twenty years, Juan reared his three children in Reno. He is one of eleven brothers and sisters, so if you ever need to fill up a space, make sure to invite the Ibarra siblings and
their respective families. Juan and his wife, Maria Reyes, are owners of the local Mexican deli El
Rosal, a business that also supplies tortillas and other Mexican foods to local restaurants & casinos.
Part of the bedrock of our long-term ministry to Latino families, Juan is a faithful supporter of
the Cathedral’s Spanish-language liturgical and pastoral activities. Every year, Juan & his family are
instrumental in planning the multiple activities associated with the December 12th Fiesta of Our
Lady of Guadalupe and he has been a generous contributor to the annual breakfast and dinner
served every year to all comers in honor of the Virgen. In his typically humble manner, when we
told him that he had been chosen by the parish council for this award, he said, “¿Pero porque yo?”
At the Cathedral, we’re very proud to have Juan as an active parishioners and Eucharistic Minister.
If you get the opportunity, please be sure to congratulate Brian and Juan.

SENIOR LUNCHEON
On Tuesday afternoon the Senior Ministry had their
luncheon and they had a speaker that spoke about
being prepared for a disaster. Michael Brimer spoke
about a kit of supplies and making sure that there was
a way to stay informed. I know that most of us do not
have one of these kits made up in the next few weeks
I will attempt to have an insert in the bulletin with what
everyone would need for one of these survival kits.
HAVE YOU . . .

OPEN THE DOOR OF

EDUCATION TO A LOCAL STUDENT
EL BUEN PASTOR
El Buen Pastor no sólo nos conoce sino que da su vida
por nosotros. Le pertenecemos. Su vida es la fuente de
nuestra vida. Una parte de esta relación es firme; la
parte de Dios. El Padre nos ha confiado al Hijo, y el Hijo
no nos soltará la mano.
La otra parte de esa relación depende de nosotros, por
supuesto. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús asume que
aceptamos su voluntad con el corazón abierto.
"Mis ovejas oyen mi voz. . . y me siguen".
Este oír y seguir es una tarea diaria que implica responsabilidad. Tomemos por ejemplo a Pablo y a Bernabé.
Ambos estaban convencidos de que la salvación era
también para aquellos miembros del rebaño que aún
no conocían el poder salvador de Dios. Los gentiles
eran las ovejas que el Pastor conocía. Pablo pudo finalmente ver que ahora era el momento oportuno para
ellos conocer al Pastor. Ahora el círculo se cerraría. Finalmente, aquellos a quienes el Dios de Jesús conocía y
amaba, podrían conocer y seguir al Dios de Jesús.
Nunca habrá un último capítulo en esta historia de
salvación.
An anonymous donor will match all donations to
D.O.R.S. up to a total of $ 100,000!
The Diocese of Reno Scholarship opens the door of a
Catholic education to students most in need of assistance. Our ability to make a difference in lives is limited only by the size of our fund. Each of the schools

Cantando la alegría de vivir, lleguemos a la casa del Señor,
marchando todos juntos como hermanos, andemos los caminos hacia Dios.
Venid entremos todos dando gracias, venid cantemos todos al Señor,
gritemos a la roca que nos salva, cantemos la alabanza a nuestro Dios.
SALMO RESPONSORIAL
Somos su pueblo y ovejas de su rebaño. (2)
OFERTORIO
El Señor es mi pastor, la vida a dado por mí,
yo su voz he de escuchar y suyo siempre seré.
Yo soy el buen pastor, doy la vida a mis ovejas,
por su nombre las llamo y con gran amor me siguen.
COMUNIÓN
Oh Señor delante de ti, mis manos abiertas reciben tu pan,
Oh Señor espiga de amor llena mi corazón.
Y entre tus manos oh Señor guárdanos, guárdanos, dinos lo que es amor.
FINAL
Aleluya, aleluya es la fiesta del Señor, aleluya, aleluya el Señor resucitó.
Ya no hay miedo ya no hay muerte, ya no hay penas que llorar
porque Cristo sigue vivo, la esperanza abierta está.
El Coro Santo Tomás se encarga de la música el día de hoy.
