NEW PROCEDURES - Second Collection Our Sunday Liturgies are central to our life as a Parish Family. Having said so, we try our very best to make the Eucharist flow and have the least distractions as possible. This has always been the direction the Roman Rubrics remind us to implement. I have presided the Liturgy over the last three years here at our parish. During my time here, I have observed the second collection causes distraction by having the baskets being passed around during the Liturgy of the Eucharist especially at the Consecration. This situation prevents both the Presider and the congregation from focusing fully on the mystery unfolding in our presence. Having the basket passed around defeats the purpose behind second collection an encouragement into being more engaged in our solidarity with the beneficiaries in need of our support. It becomes an afterthought instead of a purposeful giving. In an effort to address this liturgical concern and to promote intentional charity, we shall be having a new procedure for the Second Collection which has been approved by the Finance Council and agreed upon in the meeting of the Hospitality Ministers. The procedure is; the basket will only be passed once for both Sunday Offertory and Second Collection donation to be placed. All checks need the beneficiary written on the memo portion. Our diligent money counters will make sure that they are separated and submitted to the Diocese for remittance to the beneficiary. I thank you for being understanding and for your cooperation regarding the enhancement of our Sunday Masses and Liturgies.

Cuando hacemos uso de los regalos que se nos han dado, damos testimonio de quien es Jesucristo en nuestras vidas. La gente puede ver la "Diferencia de tener a Jesús". Dios los bendiga y cuide. Con Amor y mis oraciones,

Fr. Thomas

August 27, 2017 ¿QUÉ ES LO QUE HACES CON MAYOR FECUENCIA? ¿ATAR O DESATAR?

14 y 15 de OCTUBRE BOLETOS PARA LA RIFA

Los boletos de la rifa para nuestro Festival fueron enviados por correo la semana pasada. Pedimos de su colaboración a participar en nuestro festival bien sea comprando sus boletos o vendiéndolos a un amigo, un miembro de su familia, un compañero de trabajo, etc. para que nuestro evento sea un éxito. Si está interesado en obtener boletos adicionales o aún no ha recibido el suyo, comuníquese con nuestra Oficina Parroquial al 949-9518599.

NUEVOS PROCEDIMIENTOS-2ª Colecta Nuestras liturgias dominicales son fundamentales para nuestra vida como Familia Parroquial. Habiendo dicho esto, hacemos todo lo posible por hacer fluir la Eucaristía y tener la menor distracción posible. Esta ha sido siempre la dirección que las Rúbricas Romanas nos recuerdan implementar. He presidido la Liturgia durante los últimos tres años aquí en nuestra parroquia. Durante mi estancia aquí, he observado que la segunda colecta causa distracción al hacer pasar las canastas durante la “Liturgia de la Eucaristía”, especialmente durante la Consagración. Esta situación impide que tanto el Oficiante como la congregación se enfoquen plenamente en el Misterio que se desarrolla en nuestra presencia. El pasar la canasta desvía el propósito detrás de la segunda colecta , el cual es un estímulo para estar más comprometido en nuestra solidaridad con los beneficiarios que necesitan nuestro apoyo. Se convierte en una reflexión tardía en lugar de un don deliberado. En un esfuerzo por dirigir esta preocupación litúrgica y promover la caridad intencional, tendremos un nuevo procedimiento para la Segunda Colecta que ha sido aprobado por el Consejo de Finanzas y acordado en la reunión de los Ministros de Hospitalidad. El procedimiento es; la canasta sólo pasará una vez para colocar el donativo del domingo y la donación de la segunda colecta. Todos los cheques necesitan que el beneficiario esté escrito en la porción del memorándum. Nuestros diligentes contadores de dinero se asegurarán de que estén separados y sometidos a la Diócesis para su remesa al beneficiario. Les agradezco su comprensión y su cooperación con respecto a la mejoría de nuestras Misas y Liturgias dominicales. Dios los bendiga y cuide.

Fr. Thomas

Comencemos por decir que, con atar, me refiero a NO perdonar y con desatar quiero hablarles de perdonar. Si tienes un resentimiento o rencor contra alguien y no lo puedes perdonar, entonces tu tienes atado a esta persona espiritualmente a ti. ¡Existen personas que le han guardado rencor a alguien por 20, 30, 40 años y más! Recuerdo cuando era niño yo veía a dos de mis hermanos diferente uno del otro, uno era bueno y el otro era malo. Uno MAY 21, 2017 me maltrataba y el otro me protegía y me defendía del otro. Por muchos años guardé resentimiento en mi corazón contra este hermano “malo” por todas las veces que me golpeó enfrente de mis amigos. Pasaron los años y pensé “que había olvidado” todo el resentimiento. Crecimos, me casé, y ya de adultos, me di cuenta que cada vez que este hermano se me acercaba, y jugando me daba un golpecito en el brazo, sentía que me llenaba de enojo contar él. Me di cuenta que cada vez que ese “golpecito” me hacía recordar aquellos momentos de mi infancia. Como no quería guardar ningún rencor en mi corazón contra este hermano decidí buscar perdonarlo. Un día me levanté muy temprano a hacer mi oración. Le pedí al Espíritu Santo que me ayudara a ir a aquellos momentos cuando mi hermano me golpeaba. Durante mi oración, cuando menos acordé me vi de niño llorando con mucho enojo contra mi hermano, tal vez tendría 9 a 10 años. Cuando me vi llorando y lleno de enojo, Jesús se me acercó y me preguntó: ¿qué te pasa? Le contesté: estoy muy enojado con mi hermano por todos los maltratos. Jesús me dijo: Yo sé lo que te pasa, ¿sabes por qué? Porque también yo fui golpeado y maltratado. Por eso vine al mundo, para el perdón de los pecadores. Ese día, después del encuentro con Jesús a través de mi oración, pude perdonar a mi hermano. ¡Se me quitó todo resentimiento y enojo contra él! ¿Y sabes qué? ¡FUI LIBRE! ¡Ese día mi hermano fue desatado y también yo! Pregunta de reflexión: ¿A quién necesito perdonar para ser una persona libre? ¡Dios te bendiga! Diácono Humberto Ramirez

AVISO IMPORTANTE Por favor tenga en cuenta que el Rev. Saúl Ayala, un sacerdote jubilado de la Diócesis de San Bernardino, visitó la Iglesia Santa Ana (Santa Ana) y presentó una tarjeta de visita personal al clero y a los feligreses ofreciendo su ministerio sacerdotal y para celebrar Misas en sus hogares. En general, las misas en casas no están permitidas por la política diocesana y necesitarían la aprobación del obispo Kevin Vann caso por caso. La diócesis de San Bernardino confirmó que el reverendo Saúl Ayala es un sacerdote jubilado, pero no tiene permiso ni facultades para ofrecer ministerio en ninguna parte. Está violando los términos de su estatus y posición con la Diócesis de San Bernardino. El Rev. Saúl Ayala no tiene ninguna facultad sacerdotal en la Diócesis de Orange. Dado que el Rev. Saúl Ayala nunca se puso en contacto con el Obispo para presentarse, nos notifica de su posible residencia aquí, o presenta sus credenciales y legítimamente solicita facultades sacerdotales a través del canal apropiado, consideramos al Rev. Saúl Ayala persona non grata en la Diócesis de Orange. De ninguna manera nadie en nuestras parroquias le permitirá hacer ningún ministerio sacerdotal en la Diócesis de Orange. Esta es una foto más antigua del Rev. Saúl Ayala que está en permiso administrativo de la Diócesis de San Bernardino. Le agradecemos su diligencia en ayudar a mantener ambientes seguros en nuestras parroquias. Suyo en Cristo, Rev. Daniel B. Reader Director del Personal de los Sacerdotes
