Our Parish Mission Statement The Parish of St. John Bosco is a multi-cultural, multi-lingual Catholic Faith community that proclaims Jesus Christ. In the spirit of St. John Bosco, we do this by being a Home that welcomes all especially the young and the poor; a School that prepares for life through religious, educational and social services; a Parish that evangelizes through Word & Sacrament, Worship and Faith Formation; a Playground where lasting friendship and relationships are formed and developed through recreational and social opportunities.

From the Desk of Fr. Pat

Desde el Escritorio de P. Pat

We are already celebrating the Fourth Sunday of Lent— Laetare Sunday— and the priest is wearing Rose colored vestments to remind us that Easter is just three weeks away! It is a time for us to take stock of how our Lent has gone so far and to make some adjustments while there is still some time. Remember: if at the end of these forty days we haven’t changed our hearts and grown a little closer to Christ, this had been a wasted season. Lent is a graced moment and we need to make use of the graces. What holds us (me) back? As I have been reflecting on that question, I keep coming up with the same answer: obesity! We are allowing ourselves to become spiritually obese! We all know what obesity means: the more weight we put on, the harder it becomes for us to move and to take it off. Our energy level is low. We don’t have the will to do what we must to loose the weight. We know it isn’t good for us; we say we want to lose the extra weight; we know we feel better when it is not there— but it is hard to do so and often, the will to make the sacrifices necessary for it to happen isn’t there. Often, we stop trying and just settle for the way we are. If obesity is bad physically, it is much worse spiritually! It becomes clearer and clearer everyday that we are in a spiritual combat. We see all that is going on in the world and in the Church and we see that the devil is having his way with us. We know Jesus has overcome the power of darkness, but we still have the responsibility to fight against his temptations, wickedness and snares and, if we are out of “spiritual” shape we can’t do that; obesity takes over and we don’t have the will or energy to fight. This spells disaster for us. What must we do to get back in “spiritual shape” and lose the extra spiritual weight? First, we need a return to discipline. To be a disciple and to follow Christ means we need to be ready to pick– up our cross each day and follow Him. Sacrifice is a part of the daily life of a Christian. Disciplining my mind, my heart, my body daily, is the exercise I need to be prepared to war with Satan. He will find our weakest point and snag us; we need to fortify and strengthen that weakest spot so as not to give up so easily in the battle. Second, we need to return to the Sacrament of Penance. Admitting our sinfulness and receiving the “sacramental grace” of Confession are fundamental strategies to win in this spiritual combat. We should come to Confession often. We need both the forgiveness of our sins and the grace of the sacrament to fight against them. Confession needs to be a part of our regular spiritual life. Third, we need a sense of humor. The devil works when we take ourselves too seriously. Lack of a sense of humor— the inability to laugh at ourselves— is a sure sign of lack of humility, and pride is the devil’s biggest and easiest weapon against us. Laughter (more internal than external!) is a sign of our confidence in Christ and His Resurrection. Satan doesn’t know what to do with this! Easter is at hand. We have three weeks left to fight against our spiritual flabbiness so that we can have the energy to rise up with Christ and overcome darkness! God bless you!

Ya estamos celebrando el cuarto domingo de Cuaresma, el domingo de Laetare, donde el sacerdote lleva vestiduras de color rosado para recordarnos de que la Pascua está a sólo tres semanas! Es un momento para que podamos hacer un balance de cómo nuestra Cuaresma ha ido yendo y hacer algunos ajustes mientras que haya tiempo. Recuerda: Si al final de estos 40 días no hemos cambiado nuestros corazones y crecido un poco más cerca de Cristo, esto habrá sido una temporada desperdiciada. La Cuaresma es un momento agraciado y necesitamos hacer uso de las gracias. ¿Qué es lo que nos (me) retiene? Mientras he reflexionado sobre esa pregunta, sigo llegando a la misma respuesta: ¡Obesidad! ¡Estamos permitiendo ser espiritualmente obesos! Todos sabemos lo que significa la obesidad: cuanto más peso ponemos, más difícil resulta para nosotros movernos y quitarla. Nuestro nivel de energía es bajo. No tenemos la voluntad de hacer lo que debemos para perder peso. Sabemos que no es bueno para nosotros; decimos que queremos perder el peso extra; Sabemos que nos sentimos mejor cuando no está allí, pero es difícil hacerlo y a menudo, la voluntad de hacer los sacrificios necesarios para que suceda no existe. A menudo, paramos de intentar y conformarnos con la forma en que estamos. Si la obesidad es mala físicamente, ¡es mucho peor espiritualmente! Se hace cada vez más claro que estamos en un combate espiritual. Vemos todo lo que está sucediendo en el mundo y en la iglesia y vemos que el diablo está haciendo de las suyas con nosotros. Sabemos que Jesús ha superado el poder de la oscuridad, pero todavía tenemos la responsabilidad de luchar contra sus tentaciones, maldad y trampas y, si estamos fuera de la forma "espiritual" no podemos hacer eso; la obesidad se hace cargo y no tenemos la voluntad o la energía para luchar. Esto nos hace un desastre. ¿Qué debemos hacer para volver a la "forma espiritual" y perder el peso espiritual adicional? Primero, necesitamos volver a la Disciplina. Ser un discípulo y seguir a Cristo significa que tenemos que estar listos para recoger nuestra cruz cada día y seguirlo. El sacrificio es parte de la vida cotidiana de un cristiano. Disciplinando mi mente, mi corazón, mi cuerpo Diario, es el ejercicio que necesito para estar preparado para la guerra con Satanás. Él encontrará nuestro punto más débil y nos enganchará; necesitamos fortificar y fortalecer ese punto más débil para no renunciar tan fácilmente en la batalla. Segundo, tenemos que volver al Sacramento de la penitencia. Admitir nuestra pecaminosidad y recibir la "gracia sacramental" de la confesión son estrategias fundamentales para ganar en este combate espiritual. Deberíamos venir a la confesión a menudo. Necesitamos tanto el perdón de nuestros pecados como la gracia de la Santa Cena para luchar contra ellos. La confesión debe ser parte de nuestra vida espiritual regular. En tercer lugar, necesitamos un sentido del humor. El diablo trabaja cuando nos tomamos demasiado en serio. La falta de sentido del humor — la incapacidad de reírse de nosotros mismos — es un signo seguro de falta de humildad, y el orgullo es el arma más grande y más fácil del diablo contra nosotros. La risa (¡más interna que externa!) es un signo de nuestra confianza en Cristo y su resurrección. ¡Satanás no sabe qué hacer con esto! La Pascua está cerca. Nos quedan tres semanas para luchar contra nuestra la flacidez espiritual para que podamos tener la energía de levantarse con Cristo y vencer la oscuridad! ¡Que dios te bendiga!

Nós já vamos celebrar o Quarto Domingo da Quaresma, este o Domingo da Alegria. O padre vai usar a cor rosa para lembrar que a Pascoa chegara em três semanas. E hora de ver como a Quaresma já caminha para o fim e precisamos fazer os ajustes necessários. Se não convertermos e aproximarmos mais de Jesus vamos perder o nosso tempo. Quaresma e graça e não podemos deixar essa graça passar sem aproveita-la. O que me impede de avançar? Eu estava pensando nisso e continuo com a mesma resposta. Obesidade! Estamos permitindo que nossa espiritualidade fique obesa? Sabemos que quanto mais obeso mais lerdo e acomodados nós ficamos. A nossa energia esta baixa. Nós queremos mas não sabemos como perder peso. Sabemos que o excesso de peso não é bom, mas não queremos fazer o que temos que fazer. Se a obesidade física e ruim, quanto pior não será a obesidade espiritual! Todos os dias enfrentamos um combate espiritual. Observando tudo o que está acontecendo pelo mundo e na Igreja podemos ver como o demônio está trabalhando e muito. Nos sabemos que Jesus e superior as forcas do mal, mas nos temos que lutar contra as tentações e ciladas do demônio e se estivermos fora de forma, com a nossa espiritualmente obesa, não teremos forças para vencer o mal. Isso seria desastroso para nós. O que fazer para ganhar a forma espiritual, perdendo o excesso de peso, preguiça e seus derivados? Primeiro, retornar a disciplina. Ser discípulo e seguir a Cristo significa tomar a nossa cruz e segui-lo. O sacrifício faz parte do dia a dia da vida do cristão. Disciplinando a nossa mente, o nosso coração, o nosso corpo diariamente, e o exercício que precisamos fazer para enfrentarmos o demônio. Ele encontrara o nosso ponto fraco e nos derrubara; nos precisamos nos fortificar para que não venhamos a perde a batalha para ele. Segundo nós precisamos voltar ao Sacramento da Confissão, reconhecendo os nossos pecados e recebendo o “sacramento da graça” que é fundamental para o nosso combate espiritual. Nos devemos confessar sempre que for necessário. Nós precisamos do perdão dos nossos pecados e a graça para lutarmos contra o pecado. A confissão precisa ser parte regular da nossa vida espiritual. Terceiro, nos precisamos ter senso de humor. O demônio trabalha em nós quando estamos irritados. Mal humor, incapacidade de rir de nós mesmos e sinal de falta de humildade e orgulho que a maior arma do demônio contra nós. Rir, (mais interno que externo) e um sinal de confiança em Cristo e na sua Ressurreição. O demônio não sabe lidar com isso. A Pascoa está chegando. Ainda temos três semanas para fazer o nosso crescimento espiritual e elevar a nossa energia e com Cristo superar a escuridão do pecado. Que Deus te abençoe!

Obchodzimy czwartą niedzielę Wielkiego Postu. Kapłan przyodziany jest w różowe szaty przypominające, że Wielkanoc jest za trzy tygodnie. Jest to dla nas czas ,aby zastanowić się co dotychczas dobrego zrobiliśmy w okresie postu i dokonać poprawek.Pamiętajcie: jeżeli w czasie tych 40 dni nie zmieniliśmy naszych serc i nie zbliżyliśmy się bardziej do Boga to znaczy ,że był to dla nas czas stracony.Post to okres okazywania dobroci i należy to wykorzystać . Czy tak postępujemy? Nasuwa mi się określenie : otyłość duchowa. Wszyscy wiemy co to otyłość.Nie mamy energii, nie mamy potrzeby ,aby zgubić zbędną wagę . Brak nam stanowczości i mocnego charakteru. Fizyczna otyłość jest chorobą a co dopiero otyłość duchowa? Coraz częściej nasze życie duchowe jest w zastoju. Widzimy co dzieje się na świecie i w kościele. Diabeł zaczyna nami rządzić. Wiemy, że Jezus pokonał ciemności i zwyciężył szatana. Sami jednak powinniśmy walczyć z pokusami i ze swoją słabością . Musimy wzmocnić życie duchowe. Należy być zdyscyplinowanym, aby móc dźwigać swój krzyż i podążać za Jezusem. Wyrzeczenia są codzienną częścią życia katolików. Zdyscyplinowany umysł ,serce i ciało pomoże nam w walce z diabłem. Należy często odprawiać pokutę i przystępować do komunii św.. Spowiedź powinna być częścią naszego życia jako katolików. Należy też mieć poczucie humoru. Śmiech i radość z małych rzeczy jest potężną bronią w walce z szatanem . Zły uwielbia , gdy się kłócimy , gniewamy i bierzemy wszystko zbyt serio. Radość wewnętrzna z bliskości Jezusa w naszych sercach bardzo pomaga w zwalczaniu pokus . Zostały nam już trzy tygodnie, aby walczyć z duchową słabością i stagnacją by osiągnąć więcej energii na pokonanie ciemności tak jak uczynił to Jezus. Z Bożym błogosławieństwem !
