Religious Educaton: Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Respect Life

“All of us must care for life, cherish life, with tenderness, warmth…to give life is to open (our) heart, and to care for life is to (give oneself) in tenderness and warmth for others, to have

concern in my heart for others. Caring for life from the beginning to the end. What a simple

thing, what a beautiful thing..So, go forth and don’t be discouraged. Care for life. It’s worth it.”

(From a homily in 2005 by Cardinal Bergoglio celebrating Aug.

31 feast of St. Raymond Nonnatus, patron saint of expectant mothers, newborns)

Our Parish School of Religion opens next week and its doors will be flooded by children of all ages, who return to be nourished in our faith. A majestic sight indeed! What a lofty calling, it is to be a catechist, and be entrusted with such a treasure of souls. Catechists are people who remember God and who re-echo and pass His message of salvation to others, as Pope Francis said in His homily on the Day for Catechists in 2013.

“We adore you, o Christ and we praise you, because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.” How can one pass on this message of salvation to others, if it is not by heroically witnessing with one’s life? That calling, is not just an answer to a certain announcement at Church via the speakers or the bulletin, but an answer to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Catechists have been called by name, in the same way as those children and families who have brought them to the school. “In Divine Providence, there is no such thing as a coincidence,” Pope St.

Holy Cross - San Clemente, Rome (Detail of apse mosaic, 12th century)

Pope Francis kisses a baby before start of general audience in St. Peter’s Square Dec. 18, 2013. (CNS photo/Paul Haring)

John Paul II, reminds us. These are the designs of God, and we

cooperate with His plan, just as Jesus, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, cooperated and accepted the mission given by the Father. Why write about returning to the school of religion on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross? Because this is a reminder that it is through the Cross that Jesus brought salvation to us, and it is through the

Who return to be nourished in

our faith acceptance of our daily crosses , big and small, and our cooperation with God’s grace, that we will be sanctified and reunited with God in heaven.

Our lives, our faith, our homes, our classrooms, and we, ourselves, must bear the sign of the cross as a reminder. It is no wonder that the first prayer we teach our children is the Sign of the Cross, one that they will recall every day until the end of their lives. The Sign of the Cross, bears the wounds and suffering of Christ, and God’s love for us. Love is often bittersweet, and love without sacrifice is just empty words.

Wearing a crucifix gives witness to our faith, for the sign of the cross reminds us and everyone who is confronted by its presence, of God’s infinite love for us. Let us rejoice in the cross, the symbol of love.

Our lives, our faith, our homes, our classrooms,

and we, ourselves, must bear the sign of the cross as a reminder

An Autumn Message About Child Protection Autumn means back to school for children and back to work for those who have been on vacation. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this season, let us all keep sight of the importance of keeping our

children and young people safe from danger.

Training requirements to safeguard children have been established in parishes throughout the Diocese of Stockton. These training requirements help ensure that all children and youth experience

a safe environment in all parish activities and events. The Diocese of Stockton mandates that all people who work with children and youth in our parishes and schools must undergo child abuse prevention training through the guidelines established by the

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This training includes being fingerprinted and

background checked and completing an on-line training course entitled Shield the Vulnerable. If you are planning on helping or assisting in your child’s school, you are required to complete this training.

For training information, contact your local parish/school Safe Environment Coordinator. For particular help and questions you may call: Linda Dillen, Manager of Benefits & Safe

Environment for the Diocese of Stockton, at (209) 466-0636

INTENCIONES DE ORACIÓN DEL SANTO PADRE

Padre Mark Wagner Queridos hermanos y hermanas,

Somos una familia, o más bien una “familia de familias” en la parroquia de St. Joseph's. Nuestro santo patrón, San José, nos ayuda a amar a nuestro Señor y nuestra Señora como él los amaba y a amar a los demás como una familia.

Este fin de semana, nuestra familia parroquial les da la bienvenida a todos lo que llegan para visitar nuestro 45º Festival P a r r o q u i a l A n u a l d e S t . Joseph's. Estamos usando el grito tradicional americano para los circos y festivales: "¡Vengan todos!" ¡Todos están llamados a unirse a la diversión familiar!

Mientras tanto en este mes, nuestro querido Santo Padre Papa Francisco, el papa de nuestra familia universal católica, llegará a

Universal Estudio y trabajo para los jóvenes. Para que crezcan las oportunidades de formación y de trabajo para todos los jóvenes. Por la Evangelización Los catequistas. Para que los catequistas sean testigos coherentes de la fe que anuncian.

CORRESPONSABILIDAD (STEWARDSHIP)

Por:

Leer, Meditar, Orar y Vivir

Sin la Cruz la Fe es Vana

Padre Hamilton Suarez Queridos hermanos y hermanas, una vez

más se presenta en la liturgia dominical la paradoja de la cruz, misterio de dolor y de salvación, de muerte y de vida. Por esto tenemos hoy en la primera lectura el tercer cantico del siervo de Yahvé, en el cual se narran de una manera dramática pero llena de esperanza los sufrimientos expiatorios. Dos son las actitudes del siervo subrayadas en esta liturgia: Su espontánea y mansa aceptación del dolor y su abandono confiado a Dios.

Son actitudes que anticipas la actitud de Jesús, que ira voluntariamente al encuentro de la pasión y de la muerte para obedecer al mandato del Padre. Pero también es expresión de confianza con la que afrontara el sufrimiento, porque estará plenamente seguro del auxilio del Padre. El mensaje que hoy escuchamos de la primera lectura nos lleva a preguntarnos por la manera como cada de uno de nosotros sabemos aceptar y ofrecer los sufrimientos por los que pasamos, pero también como nos solidarizamos con aquellos que pasan por momentos más difíciles.

Con relación a este tema, el evangelio particularmente nos ilumina. Después que sus discípulos reconocen la tarea Mesiánica de Jesús, Jesús corrige y completa la idea que los discípulos tenían de la idea del Mesías. El pueblo judío en efecto, dejando de lado las profecías del siervo de Yahvé, y basándose únicamente en el ideal del Mesías como libertador y restaurador de Israel, lo imaginaban cumpliendo su misión mediante el triunfo y la gloria. Jesús mismo corrige esa idea y anuncia claramente su pasión: Y empezó a instruirles, “el Hijo del hombre tiene que padecer mucho y ser ejecutado”. Pedro el que primero y con tanto aplomo había proclamado: “Tú eres el Mesías”, es también el primero en reaccionar. Se llevó a Jesús aparte y se puso a increparlo.

Precisamente porque reconoce en El al Mesías, al Hijo de Dios vivo, no puede admitir que Jesús deba sucumbir a la persecución y a la muerte. Como verdadero judío, Pedro se escandaliza también de la cruz, y la considera una necesidad, un absurdo. Pero Jesús, corrige a Pedro, recordándonos con las palabras que le dice, como trato al tentador en el desierto: “Apártate de mí vista Satanás, tú piensas como los hombres no como Dios”.

Palabras duras de las que resulta evidente que toda tentativa de alejar la cruz, de forjarse un cristianismo sin Crucificado y de eliminar el sufrimiento de la propia vida está inspirada por Satanás. Jesús nos vuelve a anunciar hoy la necesidad de la cruz, “El que quiera venirse conmigo, que se niegue así mismo, cargue con su cruz y me siga”. “Mirad el que quiera salvar su vida, la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por el Evangelio, la salvara”.

Los apóstoles irán comprendiendo gradualmente esta lección; todos ellos, de un modo u otro, llevaran la cruz y darán su vida por Cristo; Pedro morirá por amor a Él en esa cruz que tanto había escandalizado. Una última reflexión que nos deja la palabra de hoy, tomada de la segunda lectura del Apóstol Santiago es: La fe sin obras es muerta. Si el cristiano no testimonia su fe en Cristo aceptando llevar con él la cruz, esa fe es vana. En uno de sus escritos santa Ángela de Foligno dijo: “¿Quién de nosotros corresponde a tan fiel y divina fidelidad con un a fe, tal vez pequeña, pero viva y continua? Por desgracia, cada cual está siempre pronto a echar a un lado la carga, como si el llevarla no fuese deber estricto. Oh Dios hombre doliente, que nos fuiste tan fiel, danos serte todos fieles a Ti”.

SIN LA CRUZ LA FE ES VANA.

Un Mensaje de Otoño Sobre Protección Infantil

El otoño significa el regreso a la escuela para los niños y el regreso al trabajo para aquellos que han estado de vacaciones. En medio de todo el ajetreo de esta época, mantengamos en cuenta la importancia de mantener

seguros y fuera de peligro a nuestros niños y jóvenes. Se han establecido requisitos de capacitación para proteger a los niños en parroquias de la Diócesis de Stockton.

Estos requisitos de capacitación ayudan a garantizar que todos los niños y los jóvenes experimentan un ambiente seguro en todas las actividades y eventos parroquiales.

La Diócesis de Stockton exige que todas las personas que trabajan con niños y jóvenes en nuestras escuelas y parroquias deberán someterse a entrenamiento de prevención de abuso infantil a través de las normas estableci-

das por la Conferencia Católica de los Obispos de los Estados Unidos. Esta capacitación incluye que le tomen huellas, revisen sus antecedentes y complete un curso de capacitación por internet titulado: Shield the Vulnera-

ble (Proteger al Vulnerable). Si piensa ayudar o asistir en la escuela de su hijo, es obligatorio completar este entrenamiento.

Para más información sobre este entrenamiento, por favor comuníquese con el/la coordinador /a de Ambiente Seguro en su parroquia / escuela local.

Para ayuda y preguntas en particular, por favor comuníquese con: Linda Dillen, Gerente de Beneficios y Ambien-te Seguro para la Diócesis de Stockton, al (209) 466-0636.
