From the Pastor
Dear brothers and sisters,
Modesty
Whoever said that being a priest was
going to be easy!! There are many
challenges to being a priest. One of
most difficult pastoral areas for me is challenging
those who are dressed immodestly. I have tried
putting things in the bulletin, making signs, and
preaching about it. But, when someone shows up
at a Baptism or Wedding or Quinceanos with a
dress above the knees I feel it is my duty to say
something. Many of the styles today are basically
immodest but many women seem oblivious to that
fact. They simply go along with the crowd even if
such styles are offensive to Our Lord. But, the
worse thing for me is having to say something
when someone enters the Church with a dress that
Is too short. It is almost impossible to say something in such a way that the person is not offended.
Even trying to say something privately hardly
seems to work. And there is very little support
from the people themselves. Do parents simply
give up trying to teach about modesty of dress? Is
it a losing battle? One of my complaints is that
there is almost nothing said from the Magisterium
of the Church or from our Bishops. All the work
has to be done by us priests (or at least it seems
that way!!) I am sure there are many good people
concerned about the immodesty but rarely do I see
evidence that anyone is doing anything about it.
Father Juan Pablo and I both find it very distasteful
to have to say something to a person dressed in
shorts, or showing too much of the shoulders or too
much leg. Believe me it is not a pleasant thing to
have to indicate to someone that they are sinning
by dressing immodestly and the sin is also perhaps
the cause of impure thoughts for others. Several
times I have had young men come up to me and
tell me that they find it difficult to concentrate in
the Mass because of some woman standing in front
of them with immodest clothing. It is a scandal to
be sure. We are Catholic Christians and are not
supposed to be following the immodest fashions of
the world. We are supposed to be the “light” and
the “salt” of the earth. In other words, we are supposed to be the people who are leading the world
into all purity and holiness and love of God. We
are not supposed to be adding to the darkness of
this world but helping instead to change the
September 28, 2014
darkness into light. On the positive side I must admit that on Sundays the people who come to our
Church regularly are trying to be better dressed in
terms of modesty. We still have a ways to go,
however. It is mostly when we have weddings,
baptisms and quinceanos and the people come
from other parishes that we have the most trouble.
That is why we need a modesty campaign on the
part of the whole Church. People need to be instructed by all the priests and bishops. Otherwise
it is easy to say “well that is just Father so and so’s
idea”. And from there the person can easily dismiss the correction from me or Father Juan Pablo.
Again on the positive side I am so very happy with
the people who come to the Latin Mass because
they always dress very modestly. It is a joy for us
priests not to have to worry about the immodest
dresses that we often see in the other celebrations
that I have mentioned. Men’s fashions don’t
change all that much and I don’t see very many
men dressed in shorts or dressed in tank tops here
at our Church. My complaint is mostly with
women who dress in short dresses and show too
much of the shoulder. The dresses should come
down to the knees or below and the shoulders
should be covered. Padre Pio regularly threw
women out of the Church and the confessional for
wearing dresses that were not at least four inches
below the knees or for wearing pants or shorts, or
for revealing too much of the shoulders. After a
while women were careful about how they came
dressed to the house of God. I hope though that
modesty is carried over not just while someone is
in the Church but wherever the person is, whether
that is in the home or out at the stores or even at
picnics and the beaches. Modesty is a virtue and if
one possesses that virtue one is very pleasing to
God. It goes along with humility and consideration
for others. Our Lady reminded us at Fatima in
1917 that fashions would be introduced that would
offend God very much. And so we have been
warned.
Fr. Ripperger the Exorcist
I would like to remind everyone that Fr. Chad Ripperger will be at our parish on Saturday,
October 4th to give a talk about Padre Pio and the
Devil. His talk will be in the cafeteria and will
start around 9:00 a.m. or right after the 8:30 a.m.
Mass for the First Saturday.
First Friday
This Friday, October 3rd is the First Friday of the
month and so as usual we will have the all night
adoration in the chapel. Please remind one another. The 5:00 p.m. Latin Mass on that Friday
will initiate the adoration and the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the altar until 8:00 a.m.
on Saturday.
October: Month of the Holy Rosary
Please don’t forget that October is the month of
the Holy Rosary and it would be good to make a
special effort to pray the holy rosary every day
which we should be doing anyway. It distresses
me greatly to see so many Catholics with little to
no knowledge about how to pray the holy rosary.
We try to provide brochures in the back of the
church so that people can learn how to pray. Ideally we should be praying the family rosary every
day in our homes. The rosary is our weapon
against the devil and those who pray the rosary
daily are very blessed and are already on the way
to eternal salvation.
October: Pro-Life Month
October is also Pro-Life Month. On Sunday, October 5th from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. our parish is
committed to praying at the Reproductive Services
Abortion Center. Many of you have signed up for
a particular hour so that there will be a continuous
presence throughout the day. It is part of the 40
Days Campaign that was initiated on Wednesday,
September 24th and will last until Sunday November 2nd. Anyone is welcome to go to the Abortion
Center to pray at any hour day or night. The Vigil
is a 24 hour, seven days a week Campaign. The
other Catholic Parishes are also participating as
well as Protestant congregations. We wish to
show how unjust it is to take the life of innocent
babies and we do not want to let such injustice go
unchallenged. We are the Church Militant fighting against such evils in our society and fighting to
save our own souls.
Let us observe October then as a month to increase
our efforts to defend the most vulnerable members
of our society.
There are a lot of other things I could say regarding events going on in the parish but maybe that is
enough for now. Have a great week.
Sincerely yours,
Father Timothy Davison

Del Párroco:
Hermanos y hermanas,
La Modestia
Quien dijo que ser un sacerdote iba a ser
fácil! Hay muchos retos para un cura. Una
de las áreas pastorales más difíciles para
mi es retando a aquellos que se visten sin modestia. He
tratado poniendo artículos en el boletín, haciendo letreros, y predicando sobre este tema. A pesar de todo esto
cuando alguien se presenta a un Bautismo, una Boda o
una Quinceañera con un vestido arriba de las rodillas
siento que es mi deber decir algo. Muchos de los estilos
de hoy en día son inmodestos pero muchas mujeres parecen ser inconscientes. Simplemente siguen a los demás aunque los estilos son ofensivos a Nuestro Señor.
Lo peor para mi es tener que decir algo cuando alguien
entra a la Iglesia vestida con una falda demasiada corta.
Es casi imposible decir algo para que la persona no sea
ofendida. Hasta tratando de decir algo en privado no
funciona bien. Hay poco apoyo de la comunidad misma. Los padres se rinden de tratar de enseñar sobre la
modestia? Es una lucha perdida? Una de mis quejas es
que el Magisterium de la Iglesia y los Obispos no dicen
casi nada sobre este tema. Nosotros los sacerdotes tenemos que enfrentar este problema solos (o a lo menos así
parece!). Estoy seguro que hay muchas personas buenas
que están preocupadas por esta inmodestia pero casi
nunca veo evidencia que están tratando de solucionar el
problema. Es muy desagradable para el Padre Juan Pablo y yo tratar de decir algo a una persona vestida en
shorts, en una falda que revela demasiado pierna o
demasiado de los hombros. Créenme que no es agradable tener que indicar a una persona que esta pecando
con su vestido inmodesto y que el pecado tal vez es la
causa de otros pecados de pensamientos impuros. Varias veces jóvenes han venido a mi diciendo que es difícil para ellos concentrar en la Misa por que hay una
mujer en frente de ellos vestida inmodestamente. De
veras es un escándalo. Somos cristianos católicos y no
debemos seguir los estilos inmodestos . Debemos ser
“la luz” y “la sal” de la tierra. Mejor dicho, debemos
ser la gente que esta guiando el mundo a la pureza y a
la santidad y al amor de Dios. No debemos estar añadiendo a la oscuridad de este mundo pero en cambio
debemos estar cambiando la oscuridad a la luz. De parte de algo positivo tengo que admitir que los que asistan
a la Misa los domingos regularmente en nuestra Iglesia
están tratando de vestir con más modestia. La mayoría
de los problemas son de personas que vienen de otras
parroquias para asistir a bautismos, quinceañeras o bodas. Por eso necesitamos una campaña de modestia en
toda la Iglesia. Todos los sacerdotes y todos los obispos
deben estar enseñando sobre la modestia. Si no, es fácil
decir que bueno, es simplemente la idea de cierto cura.
Y de allí es fácil para la persona no hacer caso a la corrección de mi parte o del Padre Juan Pablo. Del lado
positivo estoy muy contento con la gente que asista a la
Misa en latín porque siempre esta vestido con modestia. Es una alegria para nosotros sacerdotes no tener
que preocuparnos de la inmodestia en otras celebraciones como mencione. Los estilos de los hombres no
cambian mucho y casi no veo a hombres vestidos en
shorts o en playeras inmodestas. Mi queja es con las
mujeres que llevan vestidos cortos y que tienen los
hombros no tapados. Los vestidos deben caer debajo de
las rodillas y los hombros deben estar tapados. El Padre
Pío regularmente corrió mujeres de la Iglesia y del confesionario por estar vestidas inmodestamente. Después
de un tiempo las mujeres tomaron cuidado en como se
presentaron en la Iglesia. La modestia es una virtud que
es muy agradable al Señor. Va junto con la humildad y
con la consideración de otros. Nuestra Señora nos recordó en Fátima en 1917 que estilos estarían introducidos que ofenderían mucho a Dios. Así que hemos sido
advertidos.
Padre Ripperger el Exorcista
Quisiera recordarles que el Padre Chad Ripperger estará en nuestra parroquia sábado, el 4 de octubre para dar
una platica sobre el Padre Pío y el Demonio. Su presentación tendrá lugar en la cafetería y empezara a las
9:00 am o después de la Misa en ingles del Primer Sábado a las 8:30 am.
El Primer Viernes
Este viernes, el 3 de octubre, es el Primer Viernes del
mes así que como normal vamos a tener la adoración
toda la noche en la capillita. Favor recordar uno al otro.
Adoración comenzara después de la Misa del as 5:00
pm en latín y el Santísimo estará en el altar hasta las
8:00 am el sábado.
Octubre: El Mes del Santo Rosario
Favor no olviden que octubre es el mes del Santo Rosario y seria muy bueno hacer el esfuerzo de orar el rosario cada día como debemos estar haciendo de todos
modos. Me da mucha angustia ver tantos católicos con
poco conocimiento de cómo rezar el rosario. Tratamos
de proveer folletos en el vestíbulo para que pueden
aprender como rezarlo. El rosario es nuestro arma contra el demonio y los que oren el rosario diariamente
son muy bendecidos y están en el camino a la salvación
eterna.
Octubre: El Mes de Pro-Vida
Octubre también es el mes de pro-vida. Nuestra parroquia esta comprometida de 6:00 am al 11:00 pm a orar
en el Centro de Abortos de Servicios Reproductivos
domingo el 5 de octubre. Muchos de ustedes ya se han
apuntado para una hora para que habrá una presencia
continua durante el día. Es parte de la Campaña de 40
Días que comenzó miércoles, el 24 de septiembre, y
durara hasta domingo el 2 de noviembre. Todos están
invitados a ir a rezar a cualquier día o tiempo día o noche. La vigilia es 24 horas, siete días de la semana.
Otras parroquias católicas están participando y también
comunidades Protestantes. Deseamos mostrar la injusticia de tomar la vida de infantes inocentes y no debemos dejar esta injusticia no retado. Somos la Iglesia
Militante luchando contra estas maldades en nuestra
sociedad y estamos luchando para salvar nuestros propios almas. Observemos octubre como un mes para
aumentar nuestros esfuerzos a defender los miembros
más vulnerables de nuestra sociedad.
Eso es todo por el momento. Que tengan todos ustedes
una semana excelente.
Sinceramente,
Padre Timothy Davison
