Teach children how to explain inappropriate behavior

Statistics show that children may tell their story of abuse to adults as many as nine times before someone recognizes what is being disclosed and takes action. An important part of empowering children to protect themselves from abuse is giving them the right language to explain inappropriate or uncomfortable behaviors they may encounter. A child who can describe what happened to make him feel violated or uneasy can much more easily communicate with trusted adults to stop a predator, or end a potentially dangerous situation.

THE RICHNESS OF THE SPIRIT. Students, and most adults recalling their school days, are familiar with the phrase “compare and contrast” that shows up from time to time on tests. Today we hear two different accounts of the giving of the Holy Spirit to the church. Let’s contrast, then compare. Luke’s account from Acts is filled with arresting details: the mighty wind from heaven, the tongues of flame, the miracle of different languages. John’s account seems timid: fearful disciples, the wounded Christ, the expelling of breath from his risen body, not from the sky. Our literal, modern minds wonder which way it happened; our noisy culture probably makes us prefer the former. But if we compare the two, we find that the dazzling richness of the Spirit fills both accounts, for it is the very breath of the risen Christ, ascended to the sky in Luke, that appears to his disciples in John and sends his followers forth to carry on his mission of forgiving sin and proclaiming the mighty acts of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

T ’ R First Reading — Filled with the Holy Spirit, the apostles begin to speak in tongues (Acts 2:1-11). Psalm — Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth (Psalm 104). Second Reading — In one Spirit we are baptized into one body and given to drink of one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13). Gospel — Jesus Christ appears to the disciples and sends them on their mission with the power to forgive or retain sins through the Holy Spirit (John 20:19-23).

ST. CHARLES LWANGA AND COMPANIONS

(martyred 1886-87) June 3rd

“Master of Pages,” reputedly the handsomest man in all Uganda, Charles Lwanga, lay catechist, courageously led about forty teenaged boys, Catholics and Anglicans, on a forty-mile forced march to martyrdom for their common Christian faith. Teaching each other the hymns of their different churches, they strengthened one another for the ordeal ahead. King Mwanga, himself barely twenty, had ordered them executed for being “those who pray.” But these royal pages were the king’s male harem, who, now Christians, refused what pious accounts demurely describe as his “unreasonable demands.” Some were clubbed to death, most burned alive; the youngest, thirteen-year old Saint Kizito, whom Charles had often shielded from the King’s lust; the most tragic, Saint Mbaga, whose father was his executioner! In 1964, Pope Paul VI canonized the young Catholics and praised their Anglican companions, recalling the heroism of early Christianity’s African martyrs, which we modern Christians of far less faith never expected to see repeated. Forty years after the pope’s words, what does our faith cost us? Heroism aside, how generous is our response? —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PENTECOST SUNDAY

There appeared to them tongues as of fire, which

parted and came to rest on each one of them.

— Acts 2:3

LA RIQUEZA DEL ESPÍRITU. Los estudiantes y la mayoría de los adultos que recuerdan sus días de escuela, están familiarizados con la frase “compara y contrasta” que de tanto en tanto aparece en las pruebas. Hoy escuchamos dos relatos diferentes sobre la venida del Espíritu. Contrastemos y luego comparemos. El relato de Lucas en Hechos está lleno de detalles impresionantes: el viento poderoso, llamas de fuego como lenguas, el milagro de las diferentes lenguas. El relato de Juan parece tímido: discípulos temerosos, el Cristo llagado, el soplo de aliento viene de su cuerpo resucitado y no del cielo. Mientras nuestras mentes modernas y literales se preguntan de qué manera sucedió; nuestra ruidosa cultura probablemente nos hará preferir el primer relato. Pero si comparamos los dos, la deslumbrante riqueza del Espíritu llena ambos relatos, ya que es el mismo aliento del Cristo resucitado, ascendido a los cielos en Lucas, el que se aparece a sus discípulos en Juan y envía a sus seguidores a llevar a cabo su misión de perdonar los pecados y proclamar los portentos de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTÉS

Entonces aparecieron lenguas de fuego,

que se distribuyeron y se posaron sobre ellos.

— Hechos 2:3

L H Primera lectura — Quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo y se pusieron a hablar idiomas distintos (Hechos 2:1-11). Salmo — Envía, Señor, tu Espíritu, y renueva la tierra (Salmo 104 [103]). Segunda lectura — Hay diferentes dones, pero el Espíritu es el mismo (1 Corintios 12:3b-7, 12-13). Evangelio — Así como el Padre me envió a mí, así yo los envío a ustedes (Juan 20:19-23).

¿S U ? Enseñe a los niños cómo explicar una conducta

inapropiada

Las estadísticas muestran que los niños pueden contar su historia de abuso a los adultos al menos nueve veces antes que alguien reconozca lo que se les ha contado y tome acción. Una parte importante de darle poder a los niños para que se protejan a sí mismos del abuso es enseñándoles el lenguaje correcto para explicar conductas inapropiadas o incómodas que ellos pudieran enfrentar. Un niño que puede describir lo que le hizo sentir violado/a o incómodo/a será capaz de comunicarse con adultos en quienes confía para detener al depredador, o para poner fin a una situación potencialmente peligrosa.

SAN CARLOS LWANGA Y COMPAÑEROS (año 1886) 3 de junio

También son conocidos como los mártires de Uganda, África Central, que había recibido a los “padres blancos” (misioneros), pero que después, por órdenes del rey Mwanga fueron expulsados. Al darse cuenta de que algunos de sus cortesanos “eran gente que rezaba”, los llamó a todos y les pidió que se hicieran a un lado “los que rezan” es decir, quienes eran cristianos. Les preguntó “si rezaban” y respondieron: “Sí, señor mío, hasta la muerte”, la noche anterior habían pasado en oración y Carlos Lwanga, catequista, estaba con ellos. Pero eso estaba prohibido pues era un desafío a la religión del rey, por tal motivo ordenó que los llevaran a Namugongo en donde algunos de ellos fueron decapitados y otros atados y echados al fuego. Este grupo de mártires estaba compuesto por niños y jóvenes. El testimonio heroico de su sufrimiento dio un fuerte impulso al cristianismo, de tal suerte que cuando los misioneros regresaron, ya había casi mil catecúmenos esperándolos para ser bautizados. Fueron martirizados en 1886 y canonizados en 1964 por el Papa Pablo VI. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

ARCHBISHOP GOMEZ CALLS ON CALIFORNIA CATHOLICS TO

SUPPORT EXTENDING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS FOR

CHURCH WORKERS Archbishop José H. Gomez is asking California Catholics to support extending unemployment benefits to Church workers under federal emergency legislation addressing dislocations caused by the coronavirus epidemic. Currently, non-profit employees in multiple states do not have access to state unemployment insurance. Faith communities are urging Congress to provide emergency disaster unemployment assistance to workers that are not covered by state unemployment insurance. “As we know, the impact of the coronavirus emergency is being felt profoundly in our Catholic community. Nationwide, the Church has been forced to suspend worship services and close schools and other important offices and ministries, effecting tens of thousands of our employees,” said Archbishop Gomez. “Please join me in asking Congress to extend unemployment benefits to Church workers who might need this relief. Let us stand together in solidarity for our brothers and sisters in this time of trial and need.” California Catholics are asked to contact Senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris, as well as local representatives, to make sure they are aware of this problem of non-profit employees in multiple states who do not currently have access to state unemployment insurance, and to ask that they support an effective solution.
