Year of Mercy ~~~ Año de Misericordia
From the Pastor’s Desk / Del Escritorio Del Pastor
It is with a heavy heart that we wish a fond farewell to Juanita Rodriguez as she begins her retirement after so
many years of faithful service to our parish. We offer her our prayers for a safe and happy future with her
family. At the same time, however, we are fortunate to have Angela Maregente join our staff. After six years as a ESL
teacher, she will be helping to coordinate the ESL Program in addition to other administrative duties.
Es con gran pesar que deseamos una cariñosa despedida a Juanita Rodríguez, ya que comienza su retiro después de tantos años de
fiel servicio a nuestra parroquia. Le ofrecemos nuestras oraciones para un futuro feliz y seguro con su familia. No obstante, al mismo tiempo, somos afortunados que Angela Maregente forme parte de nuestro personal. Después de seis años como maestra de ESL
(Inglés como Segundo Idioma), Angela estará ayudando a coordinar este programa, además de otros deberes administrativos.
ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD
Dear Parishioners of St. John,
I hope that you’re well! It’s with great
joy and gratitude that I invite you to my
ordination to the priesthood! On July 9,
at 10:30 am, in St. Vincent de Paul
Catholic Church, Bishop Vasquez
will ordain me along with four other
deacons to the priesthood. It will be
the culmination of seven years of
preparation, as well as a new beginning to the rest of my life
as a priest of Jesus Christ.
I remember fondly my time as a deacon this past summer at
St. John, and I would love if you could be with me to give
thanks to God for this great gift. Thank you for your support
and encouragement to me in this journey, and please continue praying for me as ordination day approaches. Count
on my prayers for you, and I hope to see you there!
With Grateful
Thanksgiving
For the special blessing
bestowed on me as the
newest staff member of
St. John the Evangelist,
I want to express my sincere appreciation for this
opportunity. As a 3rd-generation parishioner, I have
witnessed the steady expansion of our “church on
the hill” to its present location in the heart of San
Marcos. May the Holy Spirit grant me the necessary wisdom, fortitude and perseverance to fulfill
my new responsibilities. I stand ready to offer all
my concerted efforts to meet the challenges that lie
ahead.
In Christ,
Queridos Feligreses de St. John,
¡Espero que estén bien! Es con gran alegría y
gratitud que los invito a mi ordenación al sacerdocio! El 9
de julio, a las 10:30, en la iglesia de St. Vincent de Paul, el
Obispo Vásquez me va a ordenar, junto con quatro otros
diáconos, al sacerdocio. Será la culminación de siete años
de preparación, así como un nuevo comienzo para el resto
de mi vida como sacerdote de Jesucristo.
Recuerdo con cariño mi tiempo como diacono en St. John
este verano pasado, y me gustaría si pudieran estar conmigo
para dar gracias a Dios por este gran regalo. Gracias por su
apoyo y aliento a mí en este camino, y por favor continúen
pidiendo por mí mientras se acerca el día de la ordenación.
Cuenten con mis oraciones por ustedes, y espero contar con
tu presencia!
En Cristo,
On the first Sunday of the month, the anointing of

This includes anyone that is sick, about to have

This will begin the first weekend in July after all

Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Her name comes from Mount Carmel in
Israel or the Holy Land. Carmel means fertile
soil that produces good fruits.
The devotion to Our Lady of Mount
Carmel goes back to the frequent visits of the
prophet Elijah to pray for the people who had
been punished by God for 36 months without
rain. One day the prophet Elijah saw approaching
a small cloud that began to grow into a fruitful
rain. From then on the Catholic Church adopted
this as an announcement of the Virgin May where
she adopted this as an announcement of the
Virgin Mary where she, through her son Jesus Christ,
would give the largest and most profitable Thanksgiving
rain on us, poor sinners.
For centuries monks gathered at Mount Carmel
praying and doing penance and then people started
calling them Carmelite monks.
The spread of the devotion to Our Lady of
Carmel began in Italy where some monks went there
having survived the brutal attack of the Mohammedans,
strong enemies of Catholicism. There was a monk who
distinguished himself by his holy life, his witnessed the
visit of the Virgin of Carmel on July 16 on July 16,
1251, with an important message to the world:
June 26, 2016
La Virgen del Monte Carmelo
Su nombre viene del Monte Carmelo en
Israel o Tierra Santa. Carmen significa tierra
fértil que produce muy buenos frutos.
La devoción a Nuestra Señora del
Monte Carmelo se remonta a las visitas frecuentes del profeta Elías al Monte Carmelo para rezar por su pueblo que había sido castigado por
Dios con 367 meses sin lluvia. Un día el profeta
Elías vio aproximarse una nube pequeña que
empezó a crecer convirtiéndose en una provechosa lluvia. De ahí que la Iglesia Católica
adopto esto como un anuncio de la Virgen Maria
en donde ella por medio de su Hijo Jesus Cristo
nos regalaría las mas grande y provechosa lluvia de
Gracias sobre nosotros, pobres pecadores.
Por siglos monjes se reunían en el Monte Carmelo
rezando y hacienda penitencia y de ahí la gente los empezó
a llamar monjes Carmelitas. La propagación de la devoción a la Virgen del Carmelo se inicia en Italia a donde
algunos monjes se dirigieron habiendo sobrevivido al
brutal ataque de los mahometanos, Fuertes enemigos del
Catolicismo.
Hubo un monje que se distinguió por su vida de
santidad, por su amor y devoción a la Virgen Maria, San
Simon Stock quien presencio las visita de la Virgen del
Carmelo el 16 de Julio de 1251 con un importante mensaje
para el mundo:
The Virgin promised — “to grant special blessings to everyone who wear the Holy Scapular as an act
of love and devotion in honor of the Mother of God in a
desire to be converted and live a holier life.
La Virgen prometió — “conceder ayudas especiales a todo aquel que llevara puesto el Santo Escapulario
como acto de cariño y devoción en honor a la Madre de
Dios en deseo de convertirse y llevar un vida mas Santa.
The effects of the Scapular were left to see immediately in blessings and special aids such as temptations that moved away and in the conversion of sinners.
Los efectos del Escapulario se dejaron ver de
inmediato en bendiciones y ayudas especiales tales como
en tentaciones que se alejaban y en la conversión de
pecadores.
What saves them from danger is not the Blessed
Scapular by itself , but the Blessed Virgin Mary who
protects and defends those who carry the badge as a sign
of appreciation and devotion to her.
Lo que salva de peligros no es en si el Escapulario
sino la Santísima Virgen Maria quien protege y defiende a
todo aquel que llevara esta insignia como señal de aprecio
y devoción por Ella.
Devotion to our Lady of Mount Carmel is closely linked to devotion to the holy souls in purgatory as
the tradition says that the Blessed Virgin Mary had
promised to visit in purgatory his devotees on the next
Saturday closed to their death and grant them rest.
The Virgin of Carmen or Our Lady of Mount
Carmel is the patroness of car drivers, therefore cars on
this date are blessed; she’s also the patroness of airplane
pilots and navigators or shipowners.
Blessing of vehicles will take place after all
masses on July 16-17, 2016.
La devoción a nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo
esta muy ligada a la devoción a las benditas almas del purgatorio ya que las tradiciones cuentan que la Santísima
Virgen Maria había prometido visitar en el purgatorio a sus
devotos el sábado próximo a la muerte de ellos y concederles Descanso.
La Virgen del Carmel o Nuestra Señora del Monte
Carmelo es la patrona de los conductores de carros, por eso
se bendicen los carros en esta fecha, es también la patrona
de los pilotos de avion y de los navieros o navegantes.
Se bendecirán todo los vehículos después de
todas las misas en los días de 16-17 de julio, 2016.

Gospel meditation / Meditación del Evangelio
Jesus is resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem where
he would suffer, die and rise. The image given today is a
straight line. Our eyes are to be fixed on the Lord proclaiming
the Kingdom of God by dying to ourselves to bring new life
to others. What distractions do you find in your daily life that
keep you from being focused on Jesus? What prevents you
from resolutely following Jesus?
Jesús está absolutamente resuelto a viajar a Jerusalén en donde sufrirá, morirá y resucitará. La imagen dada hoy es una
línea recta. Nuestros ojos están fijos en el Señor proclamando
el Reino de Dios al morir a nosotros mismos y al dar nueva
vida a otros ¿Qué distracciones encuentra usted en su vida
diaria que le impiden mantenerse enfocado en Jesús? ¿Qué le
impide seguir a Jesús de manera decidida?
RECUERDO A TODOS LOS GRUPOS Y MINISTERIOS
No habrá reuniones o actividades programadas en los salones de
la iglesia durante el mes de julio.
Our offices will be closed Monday, July 4th,
in observance of Independence day.
We will have one Mass only at 9:30 a.m.
***************************************
Las oficinas estarán cerradas el lunes 4 de Julio en
conmemoración del día de la independencia.
Nada mas una Misa se celebrara a las 9:30 a.m.
“For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters. But
do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather
serve one another through love.” Galatians 5:13
We like to celebrate the fact that we are free to “live the good
life.” But Jesus calls us to a different kind of freedom. St.
Paul reminds us that Jesus sets us free so that we can serve
one another, share our gifts and promote God’s work here on
earth to glorify His name and not honor ourselves.
"Porque, hermanos y hermanas, habéis sido llamados a la
libertad. Sólo que no toméis de esa libertad como pretexto
para la carne; antes, al contrario, servíos por amor los unos
a los otros" Galateos 5:13
Queremos celebrar el hecho de que somos libres para "vivir
una buena vida". Pero Jesús nos llama a una clase de libertad
diferente. San Pablo nos recuerda que Jesús nos hizo libres
para que podamos servirnos los unos a los otros, compartir
nuestros dones y promover el trabajo de Dios aquí en la tierra
para glorificar Su nombre y no para honrarnos a nosotros
mismos.
