AWE –WONDER - HOPE

With: Br Kevin Dismas Moshier, FSP Friar of the Sick Poor of LA

Serra Center Sunday, Nov. 15th, Monday, Nov. 16th

and Tues., Nov. 17th, 2015 7:00-9:00 pm

Sunday -The Star of Bethlehem

Monday- The Na vity Story Tuesday- The Thrill of Hope

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

Jesus points out to his disciples the poor widow who has just dropped two simple copper coins into the temple treasury. He then delivers a teaching on stewardship. Despite her poverty, the poor widow in today’s Gospel does not refuse God her generosity. Out of her desper-ately impoverished life she contributes to an earthly in-s tu on to give God glory and praise. It is not the mone-tary value of the gi that was important, but the love, trust and gra tude expressed through the gi . The Gos-pel asks us similarly compelling stewardship ques ons: What do we value? In what or whom do we place our trust? How do our own contribu ons to our community of faith reflect our generosity toward God? MILITARY MINISTRY

Mission San Luis Rey Par-ish welcomes members of the military and their fami-lies. We thank you for your service to our country. The vision of the Military Ministry Team is to provide re-sources and referrals to support our military families. For more informa on, please call the parish office at (760) 757-3250 x200. Please leave your name, telephone number, best me to reach you and a short message on how we can be of service to you. Your call will be re-turned within 24 hours.

LITURGICAL COLORS

Why do the Priests wear different colors at Mass throughout the year?

The different colors signify what liturgi-cal season the church is in. There are five main colors that are symbolic of the season.

VIOLET/PURPLE symbolizes penance, prepara on and sacrifice. It is used during Advent and Lent. ROSE symbolizes an cipa on and joy. It is worn on the third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday) and fourth Sunday of Lent (Laetare Sunday) as we rejoice at the half-way point of the prepara on, and an cipate the coming joy, of Christmas or Easter. WHITE symbolizes purity, joy, light and glory. It is used during the seasons of Christmas and Easter as well as for feasts of our Lord (except those pertaining to His pas-sion), the Blessed Mother, the angels, the saints who were not martyrs and a few other feasts and solemni es. White is also used for weddings and funerals and for days special to a given parish. GOLD OR SILVER may be used in place of white. GREEN symbolizes hope and life. It is used for Ordinary Time which is the liturgical season that focuses on the 3-year period of our Lord’s public ministry, His teachings and miracles. It is a reminder that the mission of the church is to share the hope and life of Christ with the world. Green symbolizes this hope and life just as the hint of green on trees in early spring brings the hope of new life. RED is symbolic of blood, fire and passion. It is used on Palm Sunday, Good Friday and any other commemora-

on of the Precious blood. It is also worn on the feasts of martyrs and apostles (except St. John), Pentecost, and Confirma on Masses.

A QUOTE FROM POPE FRANCIS

Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs, or anything else—God is in this person’s life. You can, you must try to seek God in every human life. Although the life of a person is a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God.― A Big Heart Open to God: A Conversa on with Pope Francis

COLORES LITÚRGICOS

¿Por qué los sacerdotes usan diferentes colores en las Misas durante el año? Los diferentes colores significan el

empo litúrgico en el que la iglesia está. Hay cinco colores principales que son simbólicos de la temporada. VIOLETA / PÚRPURA simboliza la penitencia, la preparación y el sacrificio. Se u liza durante el Adviento y la Cuaresma. ROSA simboliza la an cipación y la alegría. Se u liza el ter-cer Domingo de Adviento (Domingo Gaudete) y el cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma (Laetare) al regocijamos a la mitad del camino de la preparación, y an cipamos la venida de la alegría, de Navidad o Pascua. BLANCO simboliza la pureza, la alegría, la luz y la gloria. Se u liza durante las temporadas de Navidad y de Pascua, así como para las fiestas de nuestro Señor (excepto las relacio-nadas a Su Pasión), la San sima Virgen, los ángeles, los san-tos que no fueron már res y en algunas otras fiestas y so-lemnidades. El Blanco también se u liza para las bodas y los funerales y para días especiales determinados a una parroquia. ORO O PLATA pueden u lizarse en lugar de blanco. VERDE simboliza la esperanza y la vida. Se u liza para el

empo ordinario, que es el empo litúrgico que se centra en el período de los 3 años del ministerio público de nues-tro Señor, sus enseñanzas y milagros. Es un recordatorio de que la misión de la iglesia es la de compar r la esperanza y la vida de Cristo con el mundo. El verde simboliza la espe-ranza y la vida al igual que el toque de verde en los árboles a principios de la primavera trae la esperanza de una nueva vida. ROJO es un símbolo de la sangre, el fuego y la pasión. Se u liza el Domingo de Ramos, Viernes Santo y cualquier otra conmemoración de la Preciosa Sangre. También se u liza en las fiestas de los már res y apóstoles (excepto San Juan), Pentecostés, y las Misas de Confirmación.

DÍA DE LOS VETERANOS

Este año, el Día de los Vetera-nos es el miércoles 11 de no-viembre, así que nuestra parro-quia bendecirá a nuestros vete-ranos el sábado y el domingo, 7 y 8 de noviembre respec-

vamente. En este fin de semana nos unimos a los Vete-ranos y a los militares en servicio ac vo y familias de nuestra parroquia en todas las Misas. Vamos a honrar su fiel servicio a nuestro país, lo que refleja el propio servi-cio y el sacrificio de Cristo por nuestra Iglesia.

REFLEXIÓN SOBRE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD

Jesús le menciona a sus discípulos de la viuda pobre que echó dos sencillas monedas de cobre en la tesorería del templo. Luego da una enseñanza sobre la corresponsabili-dad. A pesar de su pobreza, la viuda pobre del Evangelio de hoy no niega a Dios su generosidad. A pesar de su vida em-pobrecida ella contribuye a una ins tución terrenal para dar a Dios la gloria y la alabanza. No es el valor del regalo mone-tario que era importante, sino el amor, la confianza y la gra-

tud expresada a través del regalo. El Evangelio nos hace preguntas similares sobre la corresponsabilidad: ¿Qué es lo que valoramos? En qué o en quién ponemos nuestra con-fianza? ¿Cómo nuestras propias contribuciones a nuestra comunidad de fe, reflejan nuestra generosidad hacia Dios?

CITA DEL PAPA FRANCISCO

Incluso si la vida de una persona ha sido un desastre, aún si es destruida por los vicios, las drogas o cualquier otra cosa, Dios está en la vida de esta persona. Tu puedes, tu debes tratar de buscar a Dios en cada vida humana.

Aunque la vida de la persona sea un terreno lleno de es-pinas y de malezas, siempre hay un espacio en el que la buena semilla puede crecer. Tienes que confiar en Dios.

—Un Gran Corazón Abierto a Dios: Una Conversación con el Papa Francisco

THANK YOU! September was Stewardship Month. If you were at Mass you know we asked everyone to help out with the costs of pu ng on Mass and the other services the Parish provides by looking into their heart, re-flec ng on all the gi s God has given them and con-sidering increasing their weekly dona on to the Par-ish. As something to ponder, we suggested a weekly dona on of each individuals first hour of wages each week. We also asked that, if you weren’t already do-ing so, you consider ge ng involved in a ministry.

YOU LISTENED!YOU LISTENED!YOU LISTENED! As a result of your generosity, our combined Sep-tember & October collec ons increased by $24,000. That’s double what they increased last year!!! As you can see though, October collec ons are showing a decline from the great response we received in September. It is important we each do what we can keep the bar raised all year, especially as we go into the months ahead when our costs rise due to great-er usage during the holidays. Another wonderful re-sult is that 150 people volunteered for ministries at our Welcome Sunday ministry fair! Thanks again for all the support.

¡GRACIAS! Sep embre fue el mes de la Co-Responsabilidad. Si asis ste a Misa, sabes que les pedimos a todos que miraran dentro de sus corazones, que reflejaran en todos los dones que Dios les ha dado y que conside-rarán un aumento de su donación semanal a la Pa-rroquia para que nos ayudaran con los gastos de la Misa y otros servicios proveídos por la parroquia. Como algo para reflexionar, sugerimos una dona-ción semanal basada en la primera hora de salario por semana de cada individuo. También pedimos que, si no lo habían hecho, que considerarán involu-crarse en un ministerio.

¡ESCUCHASTE! Como resultado de tu generosidad, nuestras colec-tas combinadas de sep embre y octubre, aumenta-ron por $24,000. Eso es ¡¡¡el doble de lo que aumen-taron el año pasado!!! Sin embargo, como puedes ver, las colectas de octubre están demostrando un disminuyo después de la gran respuesta que recibi-mos en sep embre. Es importante que cada uno de nosotros hagamos lo que podamos para mantener este nivel todo el año, especialmente en los próxi-mos meses cuando los gastos suben debido a un mayor uso durante los días fes vos. Otro resultado maravilloso es que 150 personas se ofrecieron como voluntarios para los ministerios en nuestro ¡Domingo de Bienvenida—Feria de Ministerios! Gra-cias de nuevo por todo el apoyo.
