Pastor’s CornerPastor’s CornerPastor’s Corner Rincón del PastorRincón del PastorRincón del Pastor A man was bemoaning conventional wisdom’s defini-tion of an expert as “someone who lives 50 miles away and carries a briefcase.” Why spend all that money flying in “experts” when there are experts in our midst? “What is it,” he often asks, “that keeps us from seeing the wis-dom in those around us.” Perhaps Jesus wonders the same thing in today’s Gos-pel. What keeps those in Jesus’ hometown from recogniz-ing his wisdom? Must a prophet be someone who lives 50 miles away and a carries a Torah? Sounds silly, but then again, maybe not. Take a mo-ment to consider what has occurred in Mark’s Gospel prior to today’s passage. Mark begins with Jesus’ bap-tism, his subsequent 40 days in the desert, and the begin-ning of his ministry on the road. Jesus begins to travel to many locations and people are astonished at his teachings. Crowds are large. The crowds are so great that when a woman touches his cloak, he cannot even identify who, among the many, has touched him. From one shore of the sea to the next, people came to believe because of what they heard, because of what they saw. In today’s Gospel, Jesus returns home and attends the synagogue of his childhood. In those days, synagogue officials could invite any Jewish man to speak. We can assume, then, that at least one person thought Jesus had something of value to say that day as Mark tells us that Jesus “began to teach.” And when they heard him, the people were, indeed, astonished. They recognized Jesus’ wisdom: “What kind of wisdom has been given to him?” They recognized Jesus’ power: “What mighty deeds have been wrought by his hands?” But then something hap-pened. Someone raised an issue that led to a foregone conclusion. “Wait a minute.” We can almost hear them thinking, “we know this guy. We grew up with him. He is the son of Mary, he’s Jesus, for pity sake!” What happened, we can wonder, in the midst of Jesus’ family, friend and neighbors that took them from listening to what Jesus had to say with an open mind and an open heart, to close-mindedly judging him by what they thought they knew about him? Perhaps more importantly, what happens in us that causes our minds and hearts to shut down? What keeps us from listening with an open mind and an open heart to the wisdom someone we know might has to share? God was in their midst. And they simply could not see. At times, what keeps us from seeing the risen Christ? What blind spots keep us, like they kept the family and friends of Jesus, from recognizing the word of God in our midst? Do we, too, think to ourselves, “wait a minute, I know that person! He is this, she is that, they can’t know more than me! I am better than them! Or are we? Maybe we truly do not know as much in certain areas and we just might miss out. Imagine our world if we were more open to listening than were those in Jesus’ hometown. What might the world look like if we viewed others as having something of value to teach us? Perhaps a place to start is by simply, though perhaps not easily, recognizing Emmanuel, God with us, in others around us. I hope and pray that you will all continue to have a good and restful summer. Father Michael Rocha
Un hombre estaba lamentándose de una definición con-vencional que dice que un experto es "alguien que vive a 50 millas de distancia y lleva un portafolios". ¿Por qué gas-tar todo ese dinero trayendo en "expertos" de lejos cuando hay expertos en medio de nosotros? "¿Qué es?", suele pre-guntar, "eso que nos impide ver la sabiduría de quienes nos rodean". Quizás Jesús se pregunta lo mismo en el Evangelio de hoy. ¿Qué impide que aquellos en la ciudad natal de Jesús reconozcan su sabiduría? ¿Debe un profeta ser alguien que vive a 50 millas de distancia y a lleva una Torá? Suena tonto, pero de nuevo, tal vez no. Tómese un mo-mento para considerar lo que ocurrió en el Evangelio de Marcos antes del pasaje de hoy. Marcos comienza con el bautismo de Jesús, sus 40 días posteriores en el desierto y el comienzo de su ministerio en el camino. Jesús comienza a viajar a muchos lugares y la gente se sorprende de sus enseñanzas. Las multitudes son grandes. Las multitudes son tan grandes que cuando una mujer toca su manto, ni siquiera puede identificar quién, entre tantos, lo ha tocado. De una orilla del mar a otra, la gente llegó a creer por lo que escucharon, por lo que vieron. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús regresa a casa y asiste a la sinagoga de su infancia. En aquellos días, los funcionarios de la sinagoga podían invitar a cualquier hombre judío a hablar. Podemos suponer, entonces, que al menos una per-sona pensó que Jesús tenía algo de valor que decir ese día cuando Marcos nos dice que Jesús "comenzó a enseñar". Y cuando lo escucharon, la gente se quedó realmente asom-brada. Reconocieron la sabiduría de Jesús: "¿Qué tipo de sabiduría se le ha dado?". Reconocieron el poder de Jesús: "¿Qué hechos poderosos han sido realizados por medio de sus manos?" Pero luego sucedió algo. Alguien planteó un problema que condujo a una conclusión inevitable. "Esperen un minuto." Casi podemos escucharlos pensar, "conocemos a este tipo. Crecimos con él. Él es el hijo de María, él es Jesús, ¡por el amor de Dios!" ¿Qué sucedió, podemos preguntar, entre la familia, ami-gos y vecinos de Jesús, que los llevó de escuchar lo que Jesús tenía que decir con una mente abierta y un corazón abierto, a juzgarlo de manera cerrada por lo que pensaban que sabían sobre él? Quizás más importante, ¿qué sucede en nosotros que causa que nuestras mentes y corazones se cierren? ¿Qué nos impide escuchar con una mente abierta y un corazón abierto a la sabiduría que alguien que conoce-mos puede tener que compartir? Dios estaba en medio de ellos. Y simplemente no lo podían ver. A veces, ¿qué nos impide ver a Cristo resucitado? ¿Qué puntos ciegos nos impiden, como lo hicieron con la familia y amigos de Je-sús, reconocer la palabra de Dios en medio de nosotros? Acaso nosotros también pensamos para nosotros mismos, "esperen un minuto, ¡yo conozco a esa persona! Él es esto, ella es aquello, ¡no pueden saber más que yo! ¡Soy mejor que ellos!" ¿Realmente lo somos? Tal vez realmente no sabemos tanto en ciertas áreas y es posible que nos estemos perdiendo de algo portante. Imagine nuestro mundo si estuviéramos más abiertos a escuchar que aquellas personas en la ciudad natal de Jesús. ¿Cómo sería el mundo si viéramos a los demás como al-guien que tiene algo de valor para enseñarnos? Quizás un buen lugar para comenzar es simplemente, aunque quizás no fácilmente, reconocer a Emmanuel, a Dios con nosotros, en aquellos que nos rodean. Espero y ruego para que todos continúen teniendo un buen y tranquilo verano. Padre Michael Rocha

Did You Know?
Go beyond just saying “no” to teach children about polite ex-ceptions Rules about politeness seem to be in contradiction to the rules we teach children about avoiding predators and responding to behaviors that make them uncomfortable. It’s important to ex-pand on the idea of saying “no” when someone asks them to cross a boundary. Explain that there are situations where being rude is acceptable, if that’s what it takes, and help them under-stand that being polite has its limits.

Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel the people ask: “How is it such miraculous deeds are accomplished by his hands?” Because of your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul many “miraculous deeds” are accomplished for the poor. This week put a gift in the parish poor box, knowing that through your kindness someone who is suffering will be touched by God in a miraculous way.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an inter-national Catholic ministry which works with the poor, the homeless, and the disenfranchised people of its communi-ty. Here at St. Paschal Baylon our St. Vincent de Paul keeps a pantry open from 10 am to 12 pm Monday through Friday. Although we are mainly a food pantry, we also assist with bills for utilities, rent or gas. Our cli-ents do not have to belong to the Parish but they must be from the Conejo Valley. We work with other Societies of SVDP to maximize our assistance.
We rely on our parishioners for food through donations through Project Response, drop-offs at the back of the church and other ministries who do collections during the year.
Pope Francis tells us to live our Faith with the Corporal Works of Mercy. Through the ministry of SVDP we feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the needy, and help with housing. Come join us! The rewards are great! We are in need of volunteers to assist us in our works of mercy. Time commitment is one shift at the pantry every other week and if possible bi-monthly meet-ings. Please call Cathy Hines (805-341-3026) or Sandy Elias (805-405-2586) if you have any questions.
Pray The Rosary
Join the community in praying the Rosary everyday after the 8:15 mass.

OBSTACLES
The prophet Ezekiel, Saint Paul, and the Lord Jesus share something in common in today’s scripture readings. They all experience obstacles to their ministry. Ezekiel is summoned to prophesy to the Israelites, who are “Hard of face and obstinate of heart” (Ezekiel 2:4). Saint Paul recounts how he has been given a “thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthi-ans 12:7). The Lord Jesus is unable to perform many signs in his native place. The Gospel tells us that “[he] was amazed at their lack of faith” (Mark 6:6). We too sometimes encounter obstacles as we travel along the journey of faith. So often we experience weakness on this journey. Let the words of the Lord to Saint Paul encourage us today: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Last week’s Treasure mentioned the “Nuns of the Battlefield,” religious sisters from several communities who served as nurses in the Civil War. Florence Nightingale had only instituted female nurses a decade before in the Crime-an War, so the idea of women tending to wounded soldiers was extraordinary. The medical and sanitary conditions on the battlefields were appalling, and the sisters were nearly all teachers. Few had any medical training beyond what they had learned as youngsters in the family. Anti-Catholic prejudice was so deeply entrenched in America that sisters could not wear their habits in public. These sisters were the first, and people on both the Union and Confederate sides soon began to marvel at their bravery, efficiency, and respect for Protestant soldiers. More than six hundred sisters from twenty-one communities went to war, serving in wretched conditions. They were tough and single-minded, efficient and fearless. After the war, sisters could appear in public everywhere in the reunited nation, and often received the praise and gratitude of grateful soldiers and family members on behalf of their sister nurses. An outdoor monument to the “Nuns of the Battlefield” stands in Washington at M Street and Rhode Island Avenue. The inscription reads: “They comforted the dying, nursed the wounded, carried hope to the imprisoned, gave in His name a drink of water to the thirsty.” —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S.

NUESTRA DEBILIDAD ES SU FORTALEZA El Apóstol San Pablo parece estar hablando de esa debi-lidad que arrastramos los humanos desde los orígenes, no como algo malo en el desarrollo de nuestra entrega al Evangelio, si no como una oportunidad para ver la gloria de Dios en nuestras vidas; ya que el poder de Dios se ma-nifiesta a partir de nuestra debilidad. A medida que vamos tomando conciencia del plan sal-vífico que Dios tiene para nosotros, vamos también viendo y padeciendo todo tipo de pruebas que el enemigo nos pone por el camino. Esas pruebas son superables con la gracia del Señor, y se convierten en oportunidades de cre-cimiento y fortalezas espirituales. Sin embargo, esto no quiere decir que sean fáciles de sobrellevar. Pablo mismo les dice a los cristianos de Corinto que ha pedido a Dios por tres veces que le libre de esa “espina clavada en su carne”, a lo cual el Señor le responde: “Te basta mi gracia, porque mi poder se manifiesta en la debilidad”. ¡Qué equi-vocados hemos estado cuando hemos pensado que por estar más cerca de Dios, las tentaciones y pruebas van a ser menores o más fáciles de superar! Todo lo contrario. Cuando el enemigo ve que nos vamos alejando de todo aquello que nos separa de Dios, cuando sabe que nos va-mos convirtiendo de la mala vida que hemos venido arrastrando, cuando observa que la gracia del Señor nos va transformando y convirtiendo en nuevo ser humano, en-tonces es cuando sutilmente se cuela por las rendijas del ego y se empecina en atacarnos con más frecuencia y agresividad. El enemigo es listo y nos asaltará en aquellas áreas donde más seguros nos sentimos y donde más nos duele. “Te basta mi gracia”, nos dice el Señor, para darnos la certeza de que saldremos victoriosos, porque cuando más frágiles o vulnerables somos, es cuando realmente el poder de Dios se manifiesta en cada uno de nosotros. Esta es la causa de nuestra alegría, como muy bien dice Pablo: “Por eso me alegro….de las dificultades que sufro por Cristo, porque cuando soy más débil, soy más fuer-te” (2Cor 12:10). ¿En algún momento de tu vida has experimentado el abandono de Cristo Crucificado?
VIVIENDO NUESTRA FE En un mundo admirable por su desarrollo tecnológico y científico, el dolor y el sufrimiento humano son el recuer-do de nuestra limitación. Si el hombre se encierra en si mismo el dolor es un dolor sin sentido. Abierto a Dios, nuestra frágil naturaleza humana adquiere en Jesucristo una nueva dimensión: “En el plan divino todo dolor es dolor de parto; él contribuye al nacimiento de una huma-nidad” (Juan Pablo II, abril de 1983).

Las inscripciones para las clases de Educación Reli-giosa en español darán inicio a partir de esta semana. Al momento de registrar a su hijo/ja, deberán de en-tregar la copia de bautismo del estudiante y un depó-sito de $20.00. Para más información llamar a la ofi-cina.
¿SABÍA USTED?
Atrévete a decir “NO”, es parte de la enseñanza sobre cuándo ser amables. Las normas de la amabilidad parecen que estuvieran en contradicción con las reglas que les enseñamos a los niños cuando se trata de evitar a los depredadores o rechazarlos. Es por eso que es importante ampliar el concepto de que es válido decir “NO” cuando alguien quiere sobrepasarse con ellos. Explíqueles que hay situaciones donde ser pesa-do con alguien más es aceptable, porque la amabilidad tiene límites. Si quiere la copia completa del artículo de VIRTUS sobre las “Excepciones a las reglas sociales acerca de la amabilidad”, visite http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx
