The Ascension of the Lord - June 01, 2014
THE NEW EVANGELIZATION
The New Evangelization, a term believed to be
first coined by Pope John Paul II, is the recognition that
all Catholics, regardless of their position inthe Church,
are called to share their faith. "I sense that the moment
has come to commit all of the Church's energies to a new
evangelization and to the mission. No believer in Christ,
no institution of the Church can avoid this supreme duty:
to proclaim Christ to all peoples" (St. John Paul II,
Redemptoris Missio, no. 3). That means you, too!
But how do you do it? The best way to lead
others to Christ is to personally live your faith. This is the
same way it has been done for centuries, but in
a way that is "new in its ardor, new in its methods and
new in its expression" (St. John Paul II, Address to the
Latin American Bishops).
The Office of New Evangelization of the
Archdiocese of Los Angeles was established in 2013 by
Archbishop José H. Gomez. Led by Rev. Ed Benioff, the
office launched as Radiate LA, coordinates the
Archdiocesan initiatives to spread the Gospel and to
increase Catholics' knowledge and love of their faith
while inspiring them to works of prayer and mercy.

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
We can get caught up in the details and miss the heart
of the message today. Where did Jesus go? Is heaven “up
there”? Why doesn’t Matthew’s Gospel have Jesus being
taken up? Doesn’t this feast remove Jesus from us, to some
place where he “sits at the right hand of the Father”?
Sound a little disengaged?
In his introduction to the writings of St. Bernard of
Clairvaux, Jean Leclercq writes that the mystery of the
Ascension fulfilled the mystery of love in which Jesus
returns to the glory of the Father. The Son then sends the
Spirit to unite us with the Father in love. Thus, in
Bernard’s thought, the Ascension is a symbol for the
passage of Christ from his life in mortal flesh to glorious
life in the Spirit. This same transition from flesh to Spirit
can also be accomplished in us, since it has already taken
place in Christ.
But we are not simply passive recipients. There is
work to be done. Luke’s angels bluntly tell the apostles to
get moving. Matthew’s final scene spells out the work:
“Go forth and make disciples, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching others to
observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19).
Witness to Jesus, in word and deed.
The task of spreading the good news that is Jesus
Christ, teaching others about him, can seem daunting. But
we are not alone. We have the promise that the Holy Spirit
will work with us; in Matthew, Jesus’ final words are
reassuring: “I am with you always” (28:20). That is reason
enough to work with confidence.

A MISSION FROM THE MOUNTAIN
Matthew is the only one of the evangelists who does not
speak explicitly of or recount the departure of Jesus from his
followers. Mark and Luke recount the Ascension, each in
his own way; and John consistently has Jesus speak of the
necessity of his departure so the Paraclete might come.
Matthew situates his final scene for Jesus on top of a
mountain in Galilee (not outside Jerusalem, as Luke does).
This is the region where his mission originated, and
throughout his Gospel the mountaintop has been the place
for him to teach his followers. (We are familiar with the
“Sermon on the Mount” from Matthew.) And here Jesus
reechoes those Ascension themes we hear from the other
evangelists: It is Jesus himself, risen and glorified, charged
with power from the Father, who sends us out; it is Jesus
himself who gives us our mission to baptize, heal, teach,
and proclaim the Good News of salvation; it is Jesus
himself who will be with us always, as we continue to be his
presence alive in the world.

BRAINSTORMING THE FUTURE OF
MUSIC MINISTRY FOR OLPH
I have been the Director of Music and Liturgy since
August 19, 2013. I came to OLPH with the hope of
making a difference in the music and liturgy of the
parish. I do believe that I have made a difference, but in
order to grow, I need help. In preparing this column I
did a little brainstorming session of what I would like to
see, in music, in the future of OLPH:
• A Choir that would have the ability to sing some of the
great music found in the history of the Catholic Church.
A choir that could prepare and present a Requiem Mass
(Fauré, Durufle or Rutter) in the Month of Remembrance
(November).
• Children's Choir, in which the young singers of our
parish would learn to sing the great music or our Church.
A choir that could become a member of Pueri Cantores.
This choir could participate in one of the Sunday Masses
once or twice per month.
• Youth Choir: build up our current youth choir. Include
more singers and sing a wider variety of music found in
the repertoire of our Church.
• Small ensembles, to prepare and present music at
various Masses (such as the current 8:30 Mass
Ensemble).
• Bell Choirs: Elementary School, Middle School, High
School and Adult Choirs.
• Cantors, from our own parish, to train and serve our
community at the different weekend Masses, funerals,
wedding and quinceanras.
• Instrumentalists: particularly keyboard, guitar, bass
and percussion players to participate in the above
mentioned ensembles.
What can you do to help? Maybe you would like to be a
part of a "Music Commission" to help move these ideas,
and other ideas, forward? Do you know someone who
sings or plays an instrument that you would love to see
get involved?
I welcome any thoughts and ideas you might have.

great things are in store for each of them.
Our school year is beginning to wind down. We wish to
thank the priests for their continued support of our Catholic
School. We are also grateful to the parishioners who so
kindly share their mornings with us in Mass as we continue
to teach our students how to fully live out a Christ-centered
life. Thank you for allowing our students to participate in
Mass by being readers, cantors and choir members and for

DID YOU KNOW?
A Healthy Scrutiny of Programs for Kids Helps Create a
Healthy Environment
It is not a best practice for a parent, guardian, employer, or
manager to blindly trust everyone who works with children.
Yet, paranoia of those who work with children is also not a
best practice. There is a healthy balance. By regularly and
frequently questioning the actions and motives of those who
work with children, parents and other adults can audit the
programs their children participate in and help keep
caregivers accountable for their work. In this process,
parents and other adults can create a constant fear of being
caught in the mind of a perpetrator. By channeling this kind
of healthy scrutiny and suspicion into accountability, adults
can create an environment where children are protected,
quality care is emulated, and abuse is not tolerated. For a
copy of the VIRTUS® article, “An ounce of healthy
suspicion is worth a pound of prevention,” email:

MINISTRY & COMMUNITY
FATHER’S DAY PICNIC
CELEBRATING OUR FATHERS!
SATURDAY, JUNE 14th 5:30 P.M.
Come join us in the back grassy area behind the school!
To many of us, fathers have always been the “Silent
Partner,” very much like God the Father. Their strength
lies in their quiet demeanor. This year, and hopefully for
years to come, our parish will no longer be quiet about
their role and contributions to our families.
Then...there are the other men in our lives who we
also affectionately call Fathers. The Fathers who minister
to our spiritual needs and who make sure that we flourish
and grow in our faith. We come to love and cherish
them as part of our families. Hard as it is, we also learn to
let them go. The trouble with hello is…goodbye.
ALL ARE WELCOME as the many OLPH
ministries come together as a parish in honoring and
giving thanks to our beloved Dads, and paying special
tribute to Fr. Albert, Fr. Raymond, Fr. Tony, and Fr.
Joseph before sending them forth on their next
assignments.
Picnic dinners will be available by reserving in
advance.
(This includes dinner plus soft drinks and
desserts for $8.) Or you can always bring your own picnic
dinner.
The fun and fellowship is free and the
memories are priceless, so don’t miss out. Let us know
you’re coming...R.S.V.P. by visiting the table by the
garage, or by calling Aurora Bertulfo at 661-755-0843.
LEGION OF MARY
Would you like to have the Pilgrim Virgin Statue in your
home for a week? You will have the opportunity to sign
up for a week during the time period of July through
December 2014.
For more information, please call
Monica Ladisa at 259-1141, extension 2.
This is a
wonderful opportunity to pray the rosary as a family. “The
family that prays together—stays together!”
FAMILY PROMISE
Family Promise provides a way for churches and
synagogues to meet the important basic needs of homeless
families. Families with children make up the fastest
growing segment of the homeless population. Our Lady of
Perpetual Help will be supporting a local congregation
who will be hosting a homeless family for a week at a time
at their church or synagogue.
Volunteers are the
foundation of this ministry. There are many ways that you
can help. Whether you provide activities for children, help
with setting up beds, donate non-perishable items, weekly
cleanup, meal preparation or stay overnight, you can make
a difference in the lives of families who have suffered the
ordeal of losing their home. Our church is exploring ways
we can participate in this important ministry. A volunteer
form is available after all Masses at the table by the garage.
Please let me know if you would like to help or if you
would like further information. Ann Pfeifer, 661-255-6123

The Ascension of the Lord - June 01, 2014
MISIÓN DESDE LA MONTAÑA
Mateo es el único de los evangelistas que no
habla explícitamente de la partida de Jesús de entre sus
seguidores. Marcos y Lucas recuentan la Ascensión,
cada uno a su manera; y Juan constantemente pone en
boca de Jesús las palabras sobre la necesidad de que él
parta para que el Paráclito regrese. Mateo sitúa la
escena final de Jesús en la tierra en la cima de una
colina en Galilea (no en las afueras de Jerusalén como
lo hace Lucas). Esta es la región donde su misión se
originó y en todo su Evangelio la cima de la montaña
ha sido el lugar desde donde Jesús enseña a sus
seguidores. (Estamos familiarizados con el “Sermón de
la Montaña” de san Mateo.) Y aquí Jesús hace eco a los
temas de la Ascensión que escuchamos de los otros
evangelistas: Es ese Jesús, resucitado y glorificado,
lleno del poder que le viene del Padre quien nos envía;
es el mismo Jesús quien nos da la misión de bautizar,
sanar, enseñar y proclamar la Buena Nueva de la
salvación; es el mismo Jesús quien estará siempre con
nosotros si continuamos siendo su presencia viva en el
mundo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El mensaje de Nuestra Señora del Rosario de
Chiquinquirá o la Chinita como cariñosamente la llaman
sus fieles, es sencillo: “Déjate renovar por Dios”.
Renovación que ella misma recibió milagrosamente en el
año 1586. En ese entonces, su imagen pertenecía a doña
María, una mujer sevillana de mucha piedad.
Doña María había recibido como herencia por parte
de su hermano Antonio una pintura de la Virgen del
Rosario en tan mal estado que no se podía distinguir ni la
Virgen madre con el niño Dios en sus brazos o los santos
Antonio de Padova y Andrés apóstol. No obstante la mala
condición de la pintura, doña María la colocó en su
capilla donde pasaba las mañanas en oración.
Un día, una indígena y su niño pasaban por la puerta
de la capilla cuando notaron un gran brillo que venia del
rostro de María iluminando el resto del cuadro con
colores vivos y brillantes. Inmediatamente llamaron a
doña María, quien pudo ser testigo de la milagrosa
renovación. Como algo muy interesante, la imagen de
cerca se ve borrosa y dañada, pero de lejos adquiere
distinción y nitidez.

PAGINA OCHO
La Ascensión del Señor - 01 de Junio de 2014
¿SABÍA USTED?
Escrutinio de los Programas de Niños Ayudaría a
Crear Ambientes Saludables
No es la mejor práctica para padres, guardianes,
empleadores o gerentes el confiar ciegamente en todos
los que trabajan con niños. Sin embargo, la paranoia
con quienes trabajan con niños tampoco es la mejor
práctica. Existe un balance saludable. El cuestionar
regular y frecuentemente las acciones y motivaciones
de quienes trabajan con niños, padres y otros adultos,
puede servir de auditoría de los programas en los que
sus niños participan y ayudar a mantener a los
guardianes responsables del trabajo que hacen. En este
proceso, los padres y otros adultos pueden crear un
temor constante de ser sorprendidos con la mente de
un perpetrador. Al canalizar este tipo de escrutinio
saludable y asumir responsabilidad, los adultos pueden
crear un ambiente donde los niños sean protegidos,
donde exista calidad en el cuidado y donde el abuso no
sea tolerado. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS®,
“Una onza de sospecha saludable vale una libra de
prevención” (An ounce of healthy suspicion is worth a
pound of prevention), escriba a [email protected].
