Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario LISTENING AND RESPONDING

There are three interwoven themes in today’s read-ings: listening to God, faith vs. good works, and losing our life in order to find it. How are they related? The Suffering Servant of Isaiah undergoes much dis-tress and ridicule, but is able to bear it because he has listened to the promptings of God day after day. The psalm tells us that God listens, too. God hears our prayers for help and is always ready to save us. As our faith deep-ens, so does our desire to do the works of justice and charity that build up the reign of God. God directs our actions in ways we often cannot see, and we don’t always see the results. We are called upon in faith to trust that what we do is enough, and that willingness to listen to God’s promptings will lead us in the right way.

Question of the Week

First Reading — The Lord GOD is my help; who will prove me wrong? (Isaiah 50:5-9a). Psalm — I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living (Psalm 116). Second Reading — Faith, if it does not have works, is dead (James 2:14-18). Gospel — Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” (Mark 8:27-35). Question for Children: What do think it means for you to fol-low in Jesus footsteps?

Question for Adults: What is the cross that you carry today? How do you follow Jesus in the workplace and at home?

Monday: 1 Cor 11:17-26, 33; Ps 40:7-10, 17; Lk 7:1-10 Tuesday: 1 Cor 12:12-14, 27-31a; Ps 100:1-5; Lk 7:11-17 Wednesday: 1 Cor 12:31 — 13:13; Ps 33:2-5, 12, 22; Lk 7:31-35 Thursday: 1 Cor 15:1-11; Ps 118:1b-2, 16ab-17, 28; Lk 7:36-50 Friday: Eph 4:1-7, 11-13; Ps 19:2-5; Mt 9:9-13 Saturday: 1 Cor 15:35-37, 42-49; Ps 56:10c-14; Lk 8:4-15 Sunday: Wis 2:12, 17-20; Ps 54:3-8; Jas 3:16 — 4:3; Mk 9:30-37

Pregunta de la Semana

Lecturas de la Semana

Primera lectura — En la tribulación el Señor Yavé me ha abierto los oídos para que yo escuche. (Isaías 50:5-9a). Salmo — Caminaré en presencia del Señor, en el país de la vida (Salmo 116 [115]). Segunda lectura — Demuestra tu fe por las buenas obras que produces (Santiago 2:14-18). Evangelio — Después que Pedro profesó que Jesús es el Mesías, Jesús lo reprendió por tratar equivocadamente de apartar a Jesús de su misión. (Marcos 8:27-35).

Pregunta para los niños: ¿Qué significa para ti seguir los pa-sos de Jesús? Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Cuál es la cruz que carga hoy? ¿Cómo sigue a Jesús en su lugar de trabajo y en su hogar?

Readings for the Week

Lunes: 1 Cor 11:17-26, 33; Sal 40 (39):7-10, 17; Lc 7:1-10 Martes: 1 Cor 12:12-14, 27-31a; Sal 100 (99):1-5; Lc 7:11-17 Miércoles: 1 Cor 12:31 — 13:13; Sal 33 (32):2-5, 12, 22; Lc 7:31-35 Jueves: 1 Cor 15:1-11; Sal 118 (117):1b-2, 16ab-17, 28; Lc 7:36-50 Viernes: Ef 4:1-7, 11-13; Sal 19 (18):2-5; Mt 9:9-13 Sábado: 1 Cor 15:35-37, 42-49; Sal 56 (55):10c-14; Lc 8:4-15 Domingo: Sab 2:12, 17-20; Sal 54 (53):3-8; Sant 3:16 — 4:3; Mc 9:30-37

Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario PAGE 5

In this country, we don’t name our churches “The Fourth Avenue Catholic Church,” but rather seek a patron saint or mystery of faith. We inherit this tradition from an old Roman custom via medieval England. Interestingly, that has not been the practice elsewhere, and parishes abroad often do carry just the name of the neighborhood. In Ire-land, the Roman (English) practices didn’t take hold, and so churches are known simply by the street they are on, or by a nickname. Saint Francis of Assisi in Dublin is often called “Adam and Eve” after a pub in the same street. The pub sign is an interesting carving of our first parents, so they become patrons by default. Increasingly in the United States, we are seeing a fa-miliar European pattern emerge when a few churches, each bearing the name of a patron saint or mystery, are gathered into one parish that bears a different name. Thus, we might hear of a parish of “Midvalley City” comprised of Saint Mary, Saint Francis, and Saint Ursula churches. Once a church has been consecrated, its name may not normally be changed. Therefore, when parishes are merged, a new name is given to the parish, which may or may not be that of a heavenly patron, but the church buildings retain their names. In the process, we have lost sight of some worthy patrons of old, but have also seen new parishes open dedicated to twentieth-century saints like Edith Stein, Katharine Drexel, and Mother Teresa.

BAPT IZED ON SEPTEMBER 8 , 2018

Angel Rafael Mendoza

Este año hemos estado reflexionando sobre algunas tradi-ciones latinoamericanas de nuestra fe. Creo que sería bue-no reflexionar también sobre lo que es la Tradición y lo que son las tradiciones. En muchas ocasiones durante mi formación religiosa mis maestros me advertían de no con-fundir la Tradición en mayúscula con la tradición en minúscula. “¿Cuál es la diferencia?”, preguntaba. Y de seguro algunos de ustedes se lo estarán preguntando también. Según el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica (CIC 75‑83) los Apóstoles transmitieron el Evangelio de Jesucristo de manera escrita y de manera oral. El Evangelio escrito nos ha llegado en forma del Nuevo Testamento, en especial por los cuatro evangelios. El Evangelio oral nos ha llega-do por lo que llamamos la Tradición; ésta nos llega por la predicación, la vida y el ejemplo de los Apóstoles. De esta Tradición o Evangelio oral nacen tradiciones teológicas, disciplinares, litúrgicas o devocionales para diversas escuelas espirituales o grupos étnicos y naciona-les. Estas tradiciones necesitan medirse con la gran Tradi-ción evangélica y sólo aquellas que animan a los fieles a vivir más de cerca el Evangelio deben ser promovidas.

Monday, Sept. 17, 2018 7:30 pm

Fr. Steephen was born in India to a prayerful fam-ily. Immediately after his high school education, he en-tered the Servite Order or the Order of Friar Servants of Mary in 1997 and was ordained on April 22, 2009 also for that community. He was then appointed as a Voca-tion Director as well as both as an Associate Pastor and Pastor for a Servite parish while still in India.

His community subsequently assigned him in California on July 2014 and was assigned at Divine Savior Catholic Church in Los Angeles for a period of six months. He was later assigned to Servite High School, an all-male Roman Catholic College preparatory high school located in Anaheim as a Chaplain and Spiritual Director for the school. His main function is counseling the students and saying the everyday mass at the school, confession and retreats complementing the formation of each student to the person of Christ, drawing them to embrace Christ, love Christ, imitate, live and be Christ to others.

Fr. Steephen is also helping out nearby parishes like St. Paul of the Cross, St. Philip's at Fullerton and St. Linus Church. He helps the Cursillo Movement in Anaheim for their weekly Wednesday masses.

Vigésimo Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Safeguard the Children

DID YOU KNOW? Archbishop Gomez Urges Prayers for Victims and New Efforts to Purify the Church The recent reports regarding abuse in the Church serve as a reminder of the importance of continuing our efforts to be diligent in the prevention of abuse in our Church and in society. Our prayers and support are with victim-survivors, their families and all impacted by this evil. Archbishop José H. Gomez urges prayers for abuse vic-tims and new efforts to purify the Church: “We are aware that this is a sad and confusing time for the Church in this country. In recent days and weeks, we have heard new revelations about sin and abuse in the Church. This is a time now for prayer and repentance and a time for exam-ining our conscience, especially for those of us who are bishops and priests. And all of us need to pray for every person who has been hurt by the Church, and we need to work to help them heal. Let us ask the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, the Mother of the Church. May she help us to have the courage we need to purify the Church and renew our love for holiness and our devotion to Jesus Christ and his Gospel.” For more information on the Archdiocese’s policies and protocols concerning abuse prevention, the protection of children and young people, and Victims Assistance Ministry, visit: http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/default.aspx

Los recientes reportes de abuso en la Iglesia nos recuer-dan la importancia de continuar nuestros esfuerzos de prevención del abuso en la Iglesia y en la sociedad. Nues-tras oraciones y apoyo están con las víctimas-sobrevivientes, sus familias y con todos aquellos que han sido afectados por este mal. El Arzobispo José H. Gomez urge orar por las víctimas de abuso y hacer nuevos esfuer-zos para purificar la Iglesia: “Estamos conscientes de que estos son tiempos de tristeza y de confusión para la Igle-sia en el país. Recientemente, hemos escuchado nuevas revelaciones sobre el pecado y el abuso en la Iglesia. Por lo que, considero que éste es un momento de oración y arrepentimiento y un tiempo para examinar nuestra con-ciencia, especialmente para aquellos que somos obispos y sacerdotes. Además, todos necesitamos orar por cada per-sona que ha sido herida por la Iglesia y trabajar para ayu-darlos a sanar. Pidamos por la intercesión de nuestra Santa Madre María, la Madre de la Iglesia, para que ella nos ayude a tener la valentía que necesitamos para purifi-car la Iglesia y renovar nuestro amor por la santidad, así como nos incremente la devoción a Jesucristo y su Evan-gelio”.

Please continue to pray! The babies are counting on us! ~ Remember to pray daily for your spiritu-ally adopted child and his/her parents. During your earthly life, this spiritually adopted child of yours is known only to God, but in the world to come, it is hoped that you will meet this child whose life was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with him/her.

One Month: Your spiritually adopted baby has been quite active over the past month. Already your baby is 10,000 times bigger than at conception. Your baby has developed the foundations of his brain, spinal cord, and nervous system by the 20th day. His heart began to beat on the 21st day and is pumping blood though its own circulatory system. The blood type can be different from the mother’s. Your baby is most vulnerable during the next month of being aborted. Pray that the Lord of Life might move the heart of His mother to give Him the most precious gift of all – the gift of life.

Please call Barbra Manriquez at (562)900-9492 or email us at: [email protected] with any questions or to be added to our email list.

CATECHETICAL SUNDAY 2018 This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 16, 2018. The 2018 theme will be "Enlisting Witnesses for Jesus Christ." Those who the Community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. Cate-chetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. Catechetical Sunday is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith.

Prayer for Catechists

O God, our Heavenly Father, you have given us the gift of these catechists to

be heralds of the Gospel to our parish family. We lift them up to you in thanksgiving and intercede for them concerning their

hopes and needs. May we be attentive to the presence

of your Word in them, a Word that lifts up and affirms, calls forth and challenges, is

compassionate and consoles. We pray that our parish family will always

be blessed with those who have responded to the call to share in Christ’s prophetic mission

as catechists. May we too be open to the universal call to service that Christ addresses to all of his disciples, contributing our gifts to

the communion of faith, the Church. We ask this in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
