Sept. 15th Town Hall Meeting: PERPETUAL ADORATION Crying Room Conversation to Eucharistic Chapel Come Let Us Adore Him Join us for a Town Hall meeting with our Pastor, Father Bill, on Tuesday, Sept. 15th in Cavanagh Hall, at 7:30pm to 8:30pm to discuss and share on ideas for a permanent Perpetual Adoration Chapel. All views and opinions are welcome. One of the most beautiful, powerful, exciting, and awesome aspects of our Catholic-Christian faith is our cherished believe in the EUCHARIST, that it is truly the Body & Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. An ancient tradition is to be in the presence of the EUCHARIST, that is to be in the real presence of Our Lord, to adore Him in a spirit of thanksgiving and love. We are thankful to God for all that He has given us, and in that thankfulness we may also express our prayers and petitions for special needs within our family, friends, nation and world. A Perpetual Adoration Chapel is available for prayer 24 hours a day – every day of the year! Adoration is also a profound prayer of love. We adore the Lord. We look at the host displayed in a monstrance for viewing, and we adore, we love and we feel His love for us. We are thankful for God’s unconditional love for us and thus we cannot help but to adore Him. We have a perfect place for a PERPETUAL ADORATION chapel. Some remodeling and special preparation of the outside entrance must be done first. The proposal is to convert the current crying room into this chapel. The outside entrance would be reconfigured to include a ramp and a door with a touch-pad combination lock (given to any registered parishioner). This entrance would be along the rose garden, under the chapel’s stain glass windows. Part of the remodeling would include a wall and secondary door to provide a passage way to the sanctuary; seating would have to be turned to face the west wall (away from the altar) so that people would be able to enter without walking in front of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance (the Tabernacle would not be moved as a monstrance will be used). A special grill would protect the monstrance and Blessed Sacrament within. Get on the Bus Our funds are running low so we are in need of your financial support. We also are in need of board games (such as Sorry, Monopoly, etc.,) so when the children visit their parent, they have something to play. For any questions please contact Robert Martinez: (626) 374-0794 MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER COUPLES ENGAGED ENCOUTNER COUPLES If You Have Been a Part of These Programs We Need You !!! If you have been a part of MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER or a part of ENGAGED ENCOUNTER I would like to meet with you to discuss helping our couples here prepare for marriage, especially in the area of Natural Family Planning (NFP). I would also like to take this opportunity to discuss with you how we can support in our parish, newly marriage couples and young families, to live to the fullest Marriage and Family Life. Please join me for a meeting: Parish Center + Sister’s Chapel Monday, Sept. 14, 2015 7:15pm to 8:30pm To assist me in preparing for our meeting I please call Pearl at the Parish Center to RSVP. Thank you very much. I look forward to seeing you soon. Father Bill + Pastor PRAYER AND LIFE WORKSHOPS Would you like to have a more meaningful prayer life?

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Forsake foolishness that you may live; advance in the way of understanding (Proverbs 9:1-6). Psalm — Taste and see the goodness of the Lord (Psalm 34). Second Reading — Live as wise persons trying to understand what is the will of the Lord, filled with the Spirit and giving thanks always (Ephesians 5:15-20). Gospel — Jesus says, “I am the living bread . . . whoever eats this bread (my flesh) will live forever” (John 6:51-58). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. AT THE TABLE In today’s first reading, Wisdom is imagined as a woman rich in poise and grace. She moves smoothly and confidently about her temple like home. She doesn’t flutter about, nervous with worry. Wisdom sends her maidens to invite all to her open house. The guests do not possess any particular genius or insight. They need only be a people of good will and common sense. They are summoned to leave behind foolishness and to find for themselves a place at Wisdom’s table. There they may and can eat and drink deeply. Today’s Gospel draws us back to the table of the Eucharist. Jesus addresses those who seek to understand his words and, sadly, those who seek to avoid them. As people born of God, we are called and equipped to seek God’s will and act on it. Copyright © J. S.

In some places, altar servers and other ministers might wear a garment, usually black, called a cassock. Over that is normally worn a white garment (a “surplice”), reminiscent of the alb but much shorter, often of starched linen and trimmed with lace. The cassock is not a liturgical garment, but a clerical robe. Its origins lie in the religious habit of monks. By the late Middle Ages, diocesan priests and clerics increasingly were encouraged to emulate religious priests. Very small boys were often apprenticed to monasteries, especially for music education, and would be invested with a cassock and sometimes even inducted into the ranks of clerics. For centuries before the Reformation, it was required that all men entering higher education be clerics, and so the cassock and its variations became familiar academic garb. At the Reformation, many ministers retained a form of the cassock as ordinary dress, rejecting liturgical garments. In the seventeenth century, the English Civil War was in part provoked by the Archbishop of Canterbury’s insistence that ministers wear surplices. Although the Episcopal Church now retains “cassock and surplice” as the normal dress for lay men and women assisting at liturgy, Catholics are increasingly attentive to the deeply traditional treasure of the alb, our baptismal robe, when special liturgical vesture is needed. —Rev.

For both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in the finding of it. —Thomas Aquinas DID YOU KNOW? Keep the lines of communication open with children Your relationship with your child will go through several stages, but one thing to keep as a priority is the importance of honest, open communication—both from your kids, and from you. Your children should always know that they can come talk to you about anything, no matter how serious, and that you will make time to listen and respond. Without communication, parents don’t know important things about their kids’ lives who they talk to, where they go, who their friends are. These parents are far more likely to miss danger signs about potential bad influences or predators as well.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — La sabiduría nos dice: Dejen su ignorancia y vivirán; avancen por el camino de la prudencia (Proverbios 9:1-6). Salmo — Haz la prueba y verás qué bueno es el Señor (Salmo 34 [33]). Segunda lectura — Vivan como personas de sabiduría tratando de entender qué es la voluntad del Señor, llenos del Espíritu y dando gracias siempre (Efesios 5:15-20). Evangelio — Jesús dice, “Yo soy el pan vivo que ha bajado del cielo; el que coma de este pan vivirá para siempre” (Juan 6:51-58). A LA MESA En la primera lectura de hoy, la sabiduría se presenta como una mujer rica en aplomo y gracia. Se mueve fácilmente y con confianza en torno a su templo-hogar. No anda mariposeando, nerviosa y preocupada. La sabiduría envía a sus doncellas a invitar a todos a su casa. Los invitados no tienen que tener ningún talento o conocimiento en particular. Tan sólo necesitan ser personas de buena voluntad y sentido común. Se les llama a dejar atrás las tonterías y buscar para sí mismos un lugar a la mesa de la sabiduría. Ahí pueden comer y beber a fondo. El Evangelio de hoy nos lleva de nuevo a la mesa de la Eucaristía. Jesús les habla a aquellos que buscan entender sus palabras, y, tristemente, a aquellos que tratan de evadirlas. Como pueblo nacido de Dios, estamos llamados y preparados para buscar la voluntad de Dios y ponerla en práctica. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Corresponde a la familia formar en ellos y ellas el rostro (la personalidad), y el corazón (ánimo/ motivación) durante los primeros siete años de su vida. Rostro y corazón son una combinación para hablar de un tercer aspecto. En este caso rostro y corazón indican la persona bien formada. Los judíos de la época de Jesús también usaban ciertas palabras para indicar otras realidades. Cuerpo y sangre, por ejemplo, indican a la persona en su totalidad. El cuerpo muestra el carácter de la persona, mientras que la sangre indica su ánimo o motivación. Cuando Jesús nos invita a comer su Cuerpo y beber su Sangre nos está invitando a tomar su rostro y corazón. Nuestra personalidad debe ser como la suya y nuestra motivación también. De esta manera entramos en íntima comunión con él, a quien comulgamos. En nuestro interior vamos aprendiendo a pensar y amar como él, mientras que exteriormente vamos aprendiendo a comportarnos como él. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. PAGE 10 Noticias en Español... HORARIOS DE MISA PARA CADA VIAJE El recurso para el Católico Viajero ¿SABÍA USTED? Mantenga abiertas las líneas de comunicación con los niños La relación con su hijo pasará por varias etapas, pero lo que debería ser una prioridad es la comunicación abierta y honesta – tanto para los padres como para los hijos. Sus hijos siempre deben saber que pueden venir a hablar con usted sobre cualquier cosa, no importa qué tan grave, y saber que está disponible para escuchar y responder. Sin la comunicación los padres no van a saber cosas importantes acerca de la vida de sus hijos – incluso con quien hablan, donde van y quiénes son sus amigos. Los padres que comunican con sus hijos son más probables a identificar señales de las influencias negativas y el abuso.
