Jubilee Year of Mercy World Youth Day in Krakow: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” This week, the universal Church focuses in prayerful solidarity on World Youth Day in Krakow, where WYD’s founder, Saint John Paul II, served as archbishop. Its theme coincides with that of Pope Francis’ Jubilee Year of Mercy: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mer-cy” (Matthew 5:7). Today’s Gospel echoes the same theme, as Jesus unites prayer with mercy in “The parable of the persistent friend.” Jesus teaches us not only what words to pray, but what deeds must match authentic prayer. How beautifully down-to-earth is Jesus’ portrait of a God who can be trusted to do what is best for us. A pesky neighbor disturbs a sleeping friend and disrupts the household. Yet beautiful images unfold. Persevering prayer receives active, practical mercy in loaves of bread, recalling Luke’s unique expression for the Eucharist, “the breaking of bread” (Luke 24:35; Acts 2:42). WYD, the Jubilee, and Jesus thus unite to define perfect prayer as persevering communion with God and unconditional mercy toward our neighbor.

Religious Education

RCIA SPONSORS NEEDED We are now blessed to have several adults who are in the RCIA process. An important part of this process is the per-sonal touch of a sponsor from our congregation to move alongside of them during this time. Basically, a sponsor is a friend. One who is supportive and welcoming to the new candidate as they learn about the Catholic faith. A person who will be invitational and include them in their everyday lives and events. Do you recognize these gifts in yourself? If you do, we need you to share them! A sponsor is a vital part of the process and a link to the social and spiritual life of our church. The sponsor will attend the RCIA meetings after the 9am mass. They are not expected to be experts in Catholicism and know everything there is about the faith. We as a team certainly do not. What we hope to do is evangelize, which is an important part of this pre-sent period of “Inquiry” and Precatechumenate. We share our stories! We share about Jesus’ forgiveness and uncondi-tional love”. As we share, we learn more about our faith and our personal relationship with Jesus. It is a fun, interesting and vital ministry. We laugh, cry, celebrate and learn together in a social and spiritual environ-ment. In the near future you will be hearing first hand from some of our past sponsors and their experiences. If you have any interest in learning about the ministry and hearing more about it, would you please contact me in the church office, 949-494-9701 ext. 113. Blessings, Donna Beam

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

Por siglos, Latinoamérica ha desarrollado una larga tradición religiosa con mitología es-pléndida. La palabra “religión” del verbo latín religere significa “atar” o “enlazar”. Su fun-ción es unir seres humanos, los unos con los otros, con lazos de caridad y justicia. Una vez enlazados en comunidad, la religión los une al poder divino que rige el universo. Entre las culturas andinas se encuentran mitos religiosos que muestran la importancia de este enlazamiento. Según la mitología Inca el universo esta compuesto por tres mundos: el cielo (Janan pacha), la tierra (Cay pacha) y el bajo tierra (Ucu pacha). Estos tres mundos es-tán unidos por dos grandes serpientes, Yacú-mama (ríos) y Sacha-mama (árboles), símbo-los de la fecundidad. Muchos piensan que los mitos son leyen-das cuya función es el entretenimiento. En realidad los mitos no son fábulas, son historias que explican la verdad profunda del universo. Nos muestran como unirnos y enlazarnos para vivir una vida fecunda. En esta época de secu-larización, los cristianos no podemos olvidar ni la religión ni la mitología si queremos dar fruto como Jesús nos lo pide.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia Jornada Mundial de la Juventud Cracovia, “Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia” Esta semana la Iglesia universal se encamina solidariamente en oración hacia la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud a reali-zarse en Cracovia, la ciudad donde fue arzobispo san Juan Pablo II el fundador de este evento mundial para jóvenes. El tema de este año de la Jornada Mundial de la Juventud coincide con el del Año Jubilar de la Misericordia: “Bienaventurados los misericordiosos, porque ellos alcanzarán misericordia” (Mateo 5:7) El Evangelio de hoy hace eco al mismo tema, como Jesús une la oración con la misericordia en “la parábola del Amigo Persistente”. Jesús nos enseña además de las palabras para orar, aquellas acciones que deben coincidir con una autentica oración. Que hermosa es la imagen que Jesús presenta de Dios en quien se puede confiar hacer aquello que es lo mejor para nosotros. Un vecino inoportuno que va a despertar a su amigo e irrumpe en su casa. Aún así surgen bellas imágenes. La oración perseverante tiene una respuesta activa, recibe misericordia en panes; recordando de Lucas la única referencia a la Eucaristía “al partir el pan” (Lucas 24:35, Hechos 2:42). La JMJ16 Cracovia, el Jubileo, y Jesús de este modo se unen para definir la perfecta oración como una comunión perseverante con Dios y la misericordia incondicional hacia nuestro prójimo. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
