PASTOR’S Reflection

B

pleaded for the tree and asked to let

reaking Open the Word him tend and care for the tree for one more year, he would cultivate the of God:

Dear brothers and sisters, we are starting the third week of Lent and we are called to continue a process of repentance. This will help us prepare for Easter, when we celebrate the glorious resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing that Jesus triumphed over the temptations in the desert, we are reminded that we too can triumph thanks to our living faith in Jesus Christ. Today we should deepen our understanding of sin. We need to recognize how offensive sin is to God, and take advantage of that wisdom to discern if we will walk His holy path or we’ll reject his divine grace in exchange for the sinful road of worldly life. We must first ask ourselves, is there such a thing as sin? In order to answer this question, we need to know the definition of the word sin. A sin is an offense against God, it’s a crime against God. Why is it a crime against God? It is a crime against God because it is a rejection to follow God’s way. Sin is the result of our decision to follow our own way, our own journey. In today’s Gospel, Jesus uses the parable of the fig tree. Why does this parable follow immediately after Jesus explains that sin is offensive to God? That Sin deserves a severe punishment? Because Jesus wanted to point out the sin of indifference, the sin of not fulfilling our responsibilities towards God. In the parable that Jesus told, a man had a fig tree in his orchard. When he came in search of fruit, there was none. The tree had been fruitless for three years. Finally, tired of a useless tree, the owner told the gardener to cut it down. The gardener

ground around it and fertilize it, in the hopes of getting some fruit to pick. If the trick worked, great, if it didn’t, then he should cut it down. Jesus here is talking about those people who are indifferent to their salvation, those who refuse to live their faith in Christ, those who reject the Father’s graces, and the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit. Brothers and sisters, I ask you, do you believe that some of the people in Moses’ time were worse sinners than we are, and this is why God punished them? Do you think some of the people in St Paul’s time were worse sinners than we are, and so the Kingdom of Heaven was denied them? I don’t think so, the sins we commit today are the same ones that were committed in the times of Moses and Paul. Due to some specific sins, God cut some down, and denied them access to the eternal kingdom of peace and joy.

W

alking together as brothers and sisters:

Dear brothers and sisters, let us ask ourselves this week: How is God using this Lenten Season to pour down an abundance of graces on us? How is he asking us to repent from our sins? What if this was our last year in this life? After all, nobody knows when the Father will call us to His presence. In the hope of joining each other as brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of God one day, let us prepare ourselves by repenting from our sins and seeking the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent. Fr. José Gerardo Alberto, MSpS

Conchita, Tell Us about Your Life The process of Canonization in the Catholic Church For a person to be declared a Saint (be Canonized), a process for their canonization needs to be opened after, normally, five years of their death. The very first step is people that knew the person in question petition the bishop of the diocese where the potential saint lived to begin an investigation into that person’s life. The bishop will interview people who knew the person, collect the person’s writings, etc., then will write a report to determine if the next step should be taken. If the report is favorable, the person gains the status of “Servant of God.” In Conchita’s case, the Archbishop of Mexico declared her a Servant of God and sent her Cause for Beatification and Canonization to Rome between 1956 and 1959. The Congregation of the Causes of Saints in Rome approved the Decree on February 27, 1986. The second step is Venerable. The investigation into the life of the person will continue, with a positive outcome being the person is deemed a person of “heroic virtue.” As part of this process a person called a “devil’s advocate” raises questions and objections to the candidate’s sainthood to make sure all aspects of the person's life is examined. (That's where the term originated) Pope St John Paul II declared Conchita Venerable in Rome on December 20, 1999. According to the church, people may seek their intercession in prayer at this point. To continue the process, miracles performed through the intercession of the Venerable Servant of God need to happen. The miracles must be documented and investigated. There must not be means other than divine intervention that could have caused the miracle. Jorge Treviño was miraculously cured of a crippling illness on May 22, 2008. This miracle was approved by Pope Francis on June 8, 2018, and Conchita’s Beatification Ceremony will take place next May 4th in Mexico City, at the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Conchita: Cuéntanos tu vida Proceso de Canonización en la Iglesia Católica Para que alguien sea declarado Santo (canonizado) debe abrirse un proceso de Beatificación y canonización, normalmente después de 5 años de la muerte de la persona. En el primer paso, gente que conoció a la persona pide al obispo de la diócesis de la persona que inicie un proceso de investigación de su vida. El obispo entrevistará a personas que la conocieron, recogerá los escritos de la persona, etc, y luego escribirá un reporte para determinar si se prosigue con el próximo paso. Si el reporte es favorable, la persona es declarada Sierva de Dios. En el caso concreto de Conchita, el Arzobispo de Mexico la declaró Sierva de Dios y envió su causa a Roma entre los años 1956 y 1959. La Congregación de las Causas de Santos aprobó el Decreto de la Causa el 27 de febrero de 1986. El segundo paso es ser declarado Venerable. Continúa la investigación de la vida de la persona, y cuando el resultado es positive, se declara que la persona vivió su vida en el marco de “virtudes heroicas”. Como parte de este proceso, se asigna a alguien hacer el papel de “abogado del diablo” que hace preguntas y presenta objeciones a la santidad del candidato, para asegurarse que nada queda sin investigar. El Papa San Juan Pablo II declare Venerable Sierva de Dios a Conchita el 20 de diciembre de 1999. A partir de este momento, la gente puede pedir a la persona que interceda para que Dios concede Milagros. Para que el proceso avance, hacen falta milagros aprobados como tales. Los Milagros deben estar debidamente documentados e investigados. No puede haber una razón que no sea intervención divina como causa del milagro. El milagro de la sanación de Jorge Treviño fue aprobado por el Papa Francisco el 8 de junio de 2018, con lo cual sólo restaba poner fecha a la Ceremonia de Beatificación. Esta ceremonia se llevará a cabo el 4 de mayo de este año en la Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.

REFLEXION del

M

Párroco

editando la Palabra de Dios

Estimados hermanos y hermanas, estamos entrando a la tercera Semana de la Cuaresma, y continuamos con nuestro proceso de arrepentimiento en preparación para la fiesta de pascua en donde celebramos la gloriosa resurrección de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo. Sabiendo que Jesús triunfó sobre las tentaciones en el desierto, se nos recuerda que también podemos triunfar a través de nuestra fe viva en Jesucristo. Por lo tanto, hoy, es apropiado profundizar en la naturaleza del pecado. De esta forma comprender lo ofensivo que es para Dios, y tener el conocimiento suficiente para decidir si caminaremos en sus caminos santos o rechazaremos su gracia divina a cambio del camino pecaminoso de la vida. En primer lugar, debemos preguntarnos, ¿existe tal cosa como el pecado? Para responder a esta pregunta, tenemos que conocer la definición de lo que es el pecado. El pecado es una ofensa cometida contra Dios, es un crimen contra Dios. ¿Por qué es un crimen contra Dios? Es un crimen contra Dios porque es un rechazo a seguir los caminos de Dios. El pecado es el resultado de la decisión de uno mismo de tener su propio camino. En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos presenta la parábola de la higuera. ¿Por qué siguió esta parábola inmediatamente después de que Jesús explicó que el pecado es ofensivo para Dios, que merece un castigo severo? Es porque Jesús quiso señalar el pecado de indiferencia, el pecado de descuidar las responsabilidades de uno hacia Dios. En la parábola que Jesús contó, un hombre tenía una higuera plantada en su viña. Cuando el hombre fue a buscar una fruta, no encontró ninguna en ella. El árbol había estado sin fruto por tres años consecutivos. Finalmente, cansado de ese árbol inútil, el hombre le dijo al jardinero que lo cortara. Al escuchar esto, el jardinero le pidió al dueño que esperara pacientemente un año más durante el cual cavaría alrededor del árbol y le pondría abono con la esperanza de que diera frutos. Si eso ayuda después de un año y hay frutos, qué bueno; Si no, entonces debería ser cortada. En esta parábola, Jesús estaba hablando acerca de aquellos que son indiferentes a su

salvación, los que se niegan a vivir su fe en Cristo, aquellos que rechazan la gracia de Dios Padre y el poder santificador del Espíritu Santo. Hermanos y hermanas, les pregunto, ¿creen que algunas de esas personas en los días de Moisés, fueron peores pecadores que nosotros y por eso Dios los derrotó? ¿Crees que algunos de aquellos en los días de San Pablo fueron peores pecadores que nosotros y por eso se les negó el Reino de Dios? Yo digo que no, los pecados cometidos hoy son los mismos pecados cometidos en los días de Moisés y de San Pablo. Debido a esos pecados específicos, Dios derribó a algunos y les negó el Reino eterno de paz y alegría.

C

aminando juntos como hermanos:

Estimados hermanos y hermanas, preguntémonos a lo largo de esta semana ¿está Dios utilizando esta temporada de Cuaresma para derramar una abundancia de gracias sobre nosotros, a través de Jesucristo para que nos arrepintamos de nuestros pecados? ¿Es este nuestro último año en la tierra? Después de todo, ninguno de nosotros sabe cuándo el Padre nos llamará para responder ante Él. Con la esperanza de unirnos un día como hermanos y hermanas en el Reino de Dios, preparémonos todos al arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y busquemos el Sacramento de la reconciliación a lo largo de este tiempo de Cuaresma.

P. Gerardo Alberto, MSpS

A WAITING HARVEST

Vocation Awareness

Priests Are not “Free Agents” Priest can exercise their priesthood only in union with their bishop. This is why a priest promises his bishop love and obedience when he is ordained. At every Mass the priest prays for his bishop by name, saying, for example, “ In union with Benedict our Pope and David our bishop,” if a priest is not in union with the pope and his respective bishop, he can neither celebrate Mass nor celebrate any of the sacraments. A priest must be connected to a diocese; a seminarian cannot even begin to study until he has been accepted by a bishop to study for that particular diocese. This is why we call them diocesan priests. A diocesan priest must have the “faculties” to exercise his priestly ministry from his bishop. When a priest is ordained, his bishop gives him a letter stating that he has the faculties to function as a priest in the diocese. If a bishop removes the faculties—which would only happens due to some very serious reason—the priest cannot function as a priest in the diocese or anywhere else. He is not in union with the Universal Church, because he has broken with his bishop and therefore, with the Holy Father. Understanding this connection that a priest has with his bishop is critical to a proper discernment of diocesan priesthood. As a newly ordained priest, I was given a small card called a celebret. This card is issued by the bishop or his delegate with a Latin inscription stating that the bearer is “a priest in good standing” in that particular diocese. This card enables me to walk in to any catholic church anywhere in the world and celebrate Holy Mass. I went to Rome shortly after my ordination to priesthood and I loved walking into the ancient and beautiful churches there and showing the sacristan my celebret. Usually they were not very interested in reading it because they had seen thousands. They just said, “Yes, yes. Come now, Father. On which altar do you wish to celebrate?” From the Book “To Save a Thousand Souls” Fr. Brett A. Brannen

O Jesus, Our Eternal Pastor, Deign to look with merciful eyes Upon this part of your loving flock. Lord, we need a large number of priests, and men and women consecrated to the religious life. Multiply vocations, And sanctify more and more our priests, And those consecrated in the religious life.

This week please pray for Br. Rene Alvarez M.Sp.S. He is from Stockton, CA and is taking Philosophy III classes at Mt Angel Seminary in Oregon.

We ask you all this through the Immaculate Virgin Mary of Guadalupe, your sweet and holy Mother. Jesus give us priests according to your heart. Jesus, savior of all people, save them, save them!

T y p o l o g y Rediscover the Sign of the Cross

by Cassie Sadie Part I

Let’s be honest: at one point or another, I think we’ve all been embarrassed to do the sign of the cross. It’s no problem during mass or youth group, but once you’re in literally any type of public setting…well, that’s a different story. I’ve caught myself doing it so fast I probably looked like a baseball coach telling his player to steal second, while other times, I’ll try to play it off like I’m scratching my head or something.

Jesus Christ.”

For years, I didn’t understand the point of “those motions”- that’s pretty much all it was to me. But making the sign of the cross isn’t just some gesture. It’s not just some good luck charm before a big play in a game. And it’s not just some sign as visible as an ash on your forehead to point out to everyone that you’re Catholic. It’s a prayer. And it’s one of the most powerful prayers you can make.

But it doesn’t just stop in identity (as absolutely amazing as our identity in Him is).

Through the sign of the cross, we re-affirm our identity and value. The world, those around us, and maybe even our own mind send us a lot of messages. Maybe things like “you’re not worth loving,” “you’re not good enough,” “you’ll never really belong,” and the list goes on and on. I don’t know what lies you struggle not to believe, but I do know that in this simple prayer, we’re reminded of how the cross combats all of them. God Himself thought you and I were worth leaving Paradise to be crucified for. Our value and worth are found only in the Precious Blood of Christ, poured out on the cross. So no matter how beautiful, talented, smart, popular, successful, or even holy we are or aren’t, our worth will never be any more or less. THAT’S one of the important truths we affirm when we make the Sign of the Cross.

We’re reminded not just of who we are but more importantly, Whose we are. We acknowledge that we belong to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Pope Francis explains, “Making the sign of the cross means to tell ourselves and others who we belong to and who we want to be.”

The sign of the cross is a call to action. By making it, we dedicate our prayer, our actions, and even our life to God, symbolizing that we’re willing to die to ourselves through our own daily crosses for Him. Whatever we’re about to do and the way we live should, therefore, reflect our efforts to live for His holy Name. You know, the same Name before which every knee shall bow (Philippians 2:10) and the very Name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12)? This isn’t some casual thing. It’s a dedication to Almighty God.

St. John Vianney justifies this, when he said, “The Church wishes that we have [the Sign of the Cross] continually in front of our minds to recall to us just what our souls are worth and what they cost

With the Heart of Jesus

LENT In the Eucharist we find all the good of the Church. In it we have the certainty that God is faithful to His promise and stays with us until the end of time. In our visits and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, we experience the closeness of the good shepherd, the tenderness of His love, the presence of a faithful friend. We all experience this large support in our lives provided by faith and our personal and intimate dialogue with the Lord in the Eucharist. Come Adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Monday through Friday from 10am to 9pm.

Hope and Healing After Abortion "The Lord manifests Himself to those who stop for some time in peace and humility of heart. If you look in murky and turbulent waters, you cannot see the reflection of your face. If you want to see the face of Christ, stop and collect your thoughts in silence, and close the door of your soul to the noise of external things." -St. Anthony of Padua Has your participation in an abortion decision left you in murky water that you have tried to deny and hide for a long time? Come away to a quiet place and allow God to minister to the deep wounds that remain unhealed.
