The Mass will be bilingual English/Spanish, with parts also in Pilipino, Tongan, Chinese, Sri Lankan, and Swahili. At 8:50 a.m., the Presidential Proclamation of Thanksgiving will be read, and then the Mass will begin at 9 a.m. In lieu of a collection for the parish, you are asked to bring non-perishable food or a monetary donation that will be given to our St. Vincent dePaul Society for distribution to the less fortunate in our parish. During the Mass, your gifts of food will be brought to the sanctuary and placed in boxes near the altar. Items especially needed include cereal, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meats and fish, packaged rice and pasta, and paper goods. Please note: —There will be NO 6:30 a.m. English MASS on Thurs. or Fri., Nov. 26-27. —We will have an 8:30 a.m. English Mass on Friday, Nov. 27. —There will be NO 7 p.m. Mass in Spanish at Sacred Heart Mission on Thurs. Nov. 26. —The Parish Office will be CLOSED on Thurs. and Fri., Nov. 2627. The Office will also be CLOSED on Tuesday, Nov. 24, from 11:45 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Thanksgiving Days, Remembering our Family History Thanksgiving Days are ones at which the most family members generally come together during the course of the year. Since several generations are present, it is a superb opportunity to have the senior family members tell their own family stories: where did their parents and grandparents come from? When and how? What was life like in those days? Invite them to share some of their favorite family stories. Through this family sharing process, it will become obvious that many of our families are immigrant families—little different from the immigrant families living in our midst today. November, the month of All Souls —One Mass each day during the month of November will be said at St. Justin for the intention of All Souls. —You may write the names of loved ones who have died in our Book of Eternal Life. The book is near the baptismal font through November. Thank you from Fr. Joe Robillard 11/08/15 We are so grateful to $21,894 those who donate to the $19,222 parish. Whether you $735 are a parishioner or a visitor, we thank you for $19,957 choosing to give to our ($1,938) parish. Go to “Make a Donation” at www.saintjustin.org to set up your Online Giving —All Souls envelopes were included in the mailed envelope packets, and are also available in the church. Completed envelopes may be placed in the collection baskets or turned in to the Parish Office. The envelopes will be kept near the altar until the beginning of Advent. —Banners listing the names of those in our parish community who died this year are hanging in the church. 3 St. Justin Martyr Church Today’s Scripture First Reading -- Those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever (Daniel 12:1-3). Psalm -- You are my inheritance, O Lord! (Psalm 16). Second Reading -- Where there is forgiveness, there is no longer offering for sin (Hebrews 10:11-14, 18). Gospel -- Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Mark 13:24-32).

Getting Through the Tough Times "It's going to get worse before it gets better" is a phrase that prepares us to buckle up for a rough ride. We know that enduring a difficult time will require some strenuous physical or emotional energy on our part before we experience the calm of normality. Our past experience tells us that we can endure the difficult pressure better when we know how long it will last and if we know that something better awaits us. Getting through the tough times while holding to the promise that awaits us is the message of this weekend's readings. They point toward the promises of God's kingdom that will come after the maelstroms and chaos of this world. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Treasures from our Tradition Eastern Christians developed very different traditions for confessing sin. They see the priest as a witness to God's action, a physician, if you will, rather than a judge. A person confesses sin to God while standing in front of an icon of Jesus, face to face. Without a grill, in the full light of day, near a table with an open Gospel book, the penitent asks the Lord for mercy. A priest standing to the side might offer counsel and confirm God's gift of forgiveness. Rather than list sins and offenses, an Eastern Christian is more likely to speak of a disposition of heart toward God and neighbor, and the desire to forgive those who have wronged them. Remarkably, although only a priest can pronounce the prayers of forgiveness, lay people, including married men and women, single Christians, monks, and nuns, may witness the confession. This is akin to the ancient Celtic practice of a "soul friend" as a spiritual mentor. Bishops may bless anyone with sufficient theological knowledge and discretion to do this. Eastern Catholics in the United States have largely drifted away from this tradition and toward Latin Rite customs such as confessional screens, set formulas and prayers, and penances. Today, in the interest of preserving the authentic tradition of the Eastern Church, there is a move to restore the older form. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

Join us at Anchor every Tuesday from 7-9 p.m. in the Hall Quote of the week: “Anchor is probably the place where I can truly be myself. I feel so at ease with myself when I’m there. I love it!” -Michelle I. “Make your life a story worth living.” These words are proudly displayed on the Humans of Loara High School Instagram page, which is devoted to provide both students and faculty at Loara High School, in Anaheim an outlet to share their personal life stories as well as the goals they have set for their future. Gabriela M., one of Anchor’s teen leaders, collaborated with a classmate and a staff member to create this program within her high school. When asked why she decided to start this program, Gabriela said, “I believe that everybody has a story, and I’d like to share them and let them know that people care…” The Humans of Loara High School page has already blown up on social media and, as of October 29, has accumulated over 1000 followers on both Instagram and Facebook. Gabriela provided more insight on what inspired her to create the club, “I just want everyone to have somebody to talk to even if it’s just for a minute, everyone deserves to be known… Sometimes we judge (people) way too quickly before we even know them, and I just want to break away from those barriers.” Gabriela is definitely a prime example of teens at St. Justin Martyr doing extraordinary things in and out of the parish. --You can follow Humans of Loara on Instagram by searching the Username: @humansofloara --Also ‘like’ them on Facebook by searching the Username: Humans of Loara High School Upcoming Events: If you are interested in meeting new people at other parishes, join us on Thursday, Nov. 19 at Christ Cathedral for a Potluck for Youth from 7-9 p.m. (bring a dish to share) Find us: --Facebook: Anchor St. Justin Martyr --Instagram: @anchoryouthministry Contact Fabiola Flores for more info. 714-774-2595 ext. 124 or by email: [email protected] ST.

Releja la lucha final de los seres humanos al final de los tiempos y su resurrección, a una vida terrible o a una vida gloriosa, infierno o cielo. En aquel tiempo, se suponía que antes de la venida del Mesías tenía que haber un intenso sufrimiento para que pudiera nacer el Reino de Dios; y aquellos cuyos nombres estuvieran escritos en el cielo serían salvados. Hebreos 10:11-14, 18 En tiempos de Jesús, según el rango de quien ofrecía el sacrificio, se ofrecían distintos animales. el sumo sacerdote ofrecía un toro. También entraba en juego el estatus de la persona que quería redimir sus pecados: un político ofrecería un cabrito mientras que una persona normal ofrecería un cordero. La eficacia del sacrificio de Cristo transciende los límites temporales y espaciales; y con su sacrificio irrepetible es capaz de redimir todas las transgresiones de todo el mundo, de todos los tiempos. Marcos 13:24-32 La llegada del Hijo del Hombre sobre las nubes con la alusión a la misteriosa figura del libro de Daniel, anuncia la llegada de una nueva era. El Hijo del Hombre viene con poder y gloria, no con furia y destrucción; sin embargo, originalmente, era símbolo de alegría y de cumplimiento del Reino de Dios. El tiempo exacto de esta llegada no se conoce y nadie sabe el día ni la hora. Nuestra cultura: En el mundo indígena, el sacrificio era necesario no tanto para perdonar pecados como para dar vida. Si alguien se sacrifica, es por la vida de los demás. Los padres y las madres se sacrifican por dar una vida mejor a los hijos. A la llegada del cristianismo, el sentido de sacrificio no cambió del todo, pero sí se añadió el sentido de reparación por las culpas. Reflexiones para la homilía Cuando se conoce bien a una persona, se sabe leer las señales que se dan. Si se ha vivido mucho con una persona, se pueden interpretar los signos, las acciones y los gestos, a menudo incluso sin palabras. en una relación, estas claves suelen ser importantes, porque dan buenas pistas sobre lo que se debe hacer y lo que se debe evitar para mejorar la relación o para evitar conflictos. Si pasamos esa lectura a las señales y los prodigios del cielo, podríamos fácilmente concluir que el mundo de verdad se está acabando. Hay terremotos, catástrofes de todo tipo, fenómenos atmosféricos destructores, guerras… exactamente todos los signos que anuncian que se acaba el mundo. Si estamos en verdadera relación con el Cristo vivo, sin embargo, podemos hacer una lectura un poco distinta de todos esos fenómenos. Si se dan todos estos signos, quizá sea para hacer un mundo nuevo, efectivamente. Será un mundo nuevo cuando estemos atentos a la Palabra de Dios, cuando estemos atentos unos a otros y trabajemos por la paz en nuestros hogares; cuando oremos como familia; cuando nos sacrifiquemos por el bien de las personas de nuestro alrededor; cuando con nuestro cariño traigamos alegría, confianza y paz, ciertamente se hará un mundo nuevo y distinto. Se empezará a instaurar el Reino de Dios. Lo otro, es decir, el in del mundo según lo conocemos, ya nos lo dice Jesús: nadie sabe el día ni la hora. Lo nuestro es trabajar con Dios para que el mundo sea como él quiera. Porque lo amamos, sabemos leer lo que quiere. Para la reflexión: ¿Qué cosas de mi propio mundo debo cambiar? ¿Cuánta atención presto a mi cónyuge y a mis hijos para saber de qué maneras tengo que cuidar la relación? ¿Qué sacrificios estoy dispuesto a hacer por los demás? 15 de noviembre, 2015 Servir a Cristo en las misiones Testimonio personal de Paola Flores Crecí en una familia católica e iba a Misa cada domingo, porque eso es lo que hacía la gente en mi país natal, Guatemala. Mis padres son católicos practicantes y fieles a la Iglesia. Sin embargo, para mí, ir a Misa era algo que yo hacía para no tener problemas. Pero esto cambió a mis 14 años de edad, cuando toda mi familia se trasladó a los Estados Unidos, en agosto de 1998, y me vi privada de todo lo que me parecía esencial: popularidad, comodidad, amigos, fiestas, etc. Comenzamos a ir a Misa en la parroquia local. Un domingo, mi mamá me obligó a ir al grupo juvenil y eso me pareció muy mal. Pero, para sorpresa mía, el grupo juvenil en realidad me gustó y me gustó bastante. Después de un tiempo en el grupo de jóvenes, mis ojos se fueron abriendo a la realidad de que Dios es verdadero, y que él me amaba y quería establecer una relación de amistad conmigo. Finalmente, tuve la gracia de verme cara a cara con esta verdad a los 17 años, en un retiro espiritual en la Universidad Franciscana de Steubenville, en Ohio. Allí tomé la decisión de pedirle a Jesús que entrara en mi corazón. La idea de salir a misionar. Fue Dios quien puso en mi corazón el deseo de la misión. Cuando comencé a rezar sobre esto, también busqué recursos para discernir si las misiones eran una vocación verdadera para mí. Encontré una organización llamada Life Teen Missions, donde fui aceptada. Sentí una profunda paz en mi corazón cuando decidí renunciar a mi trabajo de enfermera en Atlanta, Georgia, para ingresar a este programa de misiones. ¿Qué significa ser misionera? Si pudiera decirlo en pocas palabras, yo diría que se resume en una frase en latín: Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, o sea, “Para la mayor gloria de Dios”. Ser misionero significa hacer todo “para la mayor gloria de Dios”. En Noviembre celebramos: 21 de Noviembre Nuestra Señora de la Presentación del Quinche Cuenta la tradición que la Virgen María se le apareció a los indios de ecuador, en una cueva, y les prometió librarlos de los osos que estaban devorando a sus niños. A cambio les pidió que recibieran el evangelio del sacerdote del pueblo más cercano y se convirtieran a la religión católica. El escultor Diego de Robles elaboró una talla en madera de cedro con los rasgos de la Señora que se les había aparecido. La imagen permaneció 15 años al cuidado de los indios, hasta que en 1604, el obispo del lugar ordenó su traslado al poblado del Quinche, donde la fe cristiana había arraigado con más fuerza. En honor de la Virgen del Quinche se entonan una variedad de cantos con textos en quechua, español y diversos dialectos de la región, muchos de los cuales se cantan desde hace cuatro siglos. Esta advocación es muy popular entre los ecuatorianos, especialmente los indios que la llaman cariñosamente “la Pequeñita”. La imagen fue coronada en 1943 y el templo actual fue declarado Santuario Nacional, en 1985; este es un verdadero centro de peregrinación que acoge a más de 4,500 fieles anualmente. La colecta de la próxima semana, 21-22 de noviembre, para la Campaña Católica para el Desarrolo Humano (CCHD) necesita su ayuda. CCHD fue fundada para eliminar el ciclo de pobreza en los Estados Unidos otorgando fondos a organizaciones que ayudan a las personas a ayudarse a sí mismas. Con su tradición de mejoras en ls educación, en la vivienda y en el desarrollo economic de las comunidades, CCHD continua teniendo un impacto positive en las comunidades en todo el país. Su contribución servirá para defender la dignidad humana y llegar a todos los que viven al margen. El Grupo Pro-Vida de San Justino quiere darles las gracias ias a todos los que donaron tiempo y dinero en la campaña Grac Centavos del Cielo para ayudar a mujeres embarazadas en crisis a salvar la vida de sus bebes. Juntos colectamos alrededor de $6,000. Dios se los pagara con bendiciones.
