Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?”

The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.” Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.”

Entonces le dijo Jesús: “¿Qué quieres que haga por ti?” El ciego le contestó: “Maestro, que pueda ver.”

Jesús le dijo: “Vete; tu fe te ha salvado.”

THE HOPE AND PROMISE OF REDEMPTION

The prophet Jeremiah prophesies the end of the Babylonian exile. He describes how the weak and sorrowful people now return with joy. These are the scattered people of God: the blind and the lame, the mothers and pregnant women. They shall be led along an easy road so that no one will stumble. The Lord’s kindness and mercy are on all these weak and broken people. Here and in Psalm 126 we find the most lovely poetic images of God’s love and care for us. “Those that sow in tears / shall reap rejoicing. Although they go forth weeping, / carrying the seed to be sown, / they shall come back rejoicing, / carrying their sheaves” (Psalm 126:5–6). Although God had to punish Israel for their many sins, God never forgot them, scattered as they were, and brings them all back to the land of their ancestors, there to flourish and be joyful again. We can see in this the hope and the promise of our own redemption, gathered from the far corners of the earth into the great banquet of God.

HOW DOES OUR PARISH ATTRACT INQUIRERS WHO CONSIDER

BECOMING CATHOLIC?

The short answer is YOU! Members of a welcoming and evangelizing community take seriously their call to share the Divine message of salvation. It happens in parish families, in the workplace, in gatherings with friends and neighbors. Give thanks to God as He continuously strengthens each of us who seek to do His will in offering a gentle, humble, and clear welcome to the Catholic faith.

“Go out in to the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” MARK 16:15

¡Gracias!

LA ESPERANZA Y PROMESA DE REDENCIÓN El profeta Jeremías anuncia el fin del exilio en Babilonia. Describe cómo los débiles y los tristes ahora regresarán con alegría. Éste es el pueblo dispersado de Dios: los ciegos y cojos; preñadas y paridas. Serán guiados por un camino llano para que nadie tropiece. La bondad y misericordia del Señor están con este pueblo débil y deshecho. Aquí y en el Salmo 126 (125) encontramos imágenes poéticas extremadamente hermosas del amor y cuidado que Dios tiene por nosotros. “Los que sembraban con lágrimas, / cosechan entre cantares. Al ir, iba llorando, / llevando la semilla; / al volver, vuelve cantando, / trayendo sus gavillas” (Salmo 126[125]:5-6). Si bien Dios tuvo que castigar a Israel por sus muchos pecados, nunca se olvidó de ellos aun cuando estaban dispersos, y los llevó de regreso a la tierra de sus ancestros para que prosperaran y fueran felices de nuevo. En esto encontramos la esperanza y la promesa de nuestra propia redención al reunirnos, desde todos los rincones del mundo, para celebrar el gran banquete de Dios.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE

En México y otros países latinoamericanos se están preparando para celebrar el Día de Todos los Santos (1o de noviembre) y el Día de los Fieles Difuntos (2 de noviembre). Estas dos fiestas cristianas fueron mezcladas con antiguos ritos y devociones mesoamericanas. Ellas enfatizan que la muerte es parte normal del ciclo de la vida y que los difuntos no se olvidan de sus seres queridos. Esta es la base de la devoción católica a los santos: Dios es Dios de los vivos y no de los muertos (Mateo 22:32); por eso los muertos siguen vivos en una nueva dimensión. En estos días, las familias pasan tiempo en los cementerios, visitando las tumbas de sus parientes y amistades, lavando las lápidas, poniendo arreglos de zempasuchil y encendiendo veladoras. En casa, muchos latinos construyen y adornan altarcitos dedicándolos a las almas de sus seres queridos que han muerto. En los altares se encuentran papel picado, fotos de los difuntos, artículos religiosos, comida, bebida, cigarritos y otras cosas que los ya muertos disfrutaban durante sus vidas. Para los niños muertos se añaden juguetitos que les gustaban en vida.

RECORDAR Te invitamos a honrar a un ser querido fallecido o devoción

especial por la Iluminación de una vela perpetua en el vestíbulo. Nuestro devocional de vela tiene 12 velas perpetuas en la fila de atrás. Su intención se colocará en un marcador de su vela. Favor

de pasar por la oficina parroquial para reservar tu vela. (devoción 1 mes / $50.00)

Todas las velas están disponibles diarias.

ORACIÓN POR UN NUEVO OBISPO

Dios nuestro Padre, Abrimos nuestros corazones en confianza

mientras esperamos la elección de un nuevo obispo para nuestra Diócesis de Monterey.

Que nuestro nuevo obispo sea un pastor amoroso, bendecido con un corazón compasivo,

y que nuestro deseo de acompañarlo humildemente, le de fortaleza y paz.

Te lo pedimos por intercesión de nuestra Señora de Belén y San Junípero Serra.

Amen.

Ser Mariano es llegar al cielo y que Jesús te diga:

“Mi madre me ha hablado mucho de ti.”

ADORACIÓN AL BENDITO SACRAMENTO

Todos son bienvenidos.

PARA REFLEXIONAR Después de sanar al hombre ciego en la narración del Evangelio de hoy, Jesús le dijo que se fuera, que siguiera su camino. Pero el hombre decidió seguir a Jesús. Ser discípulo de Jesús es una elección. La forma de vida de la corresponsabilidad involucra una elección, de hecho, numerosas elecciones. Nosotros elegimos ser agradecidos, elegimos vivir generosamente, y elegimos confiar en que Dios proveerá siempre para nuestras necesidades. Estas son tres elecciones esenciales para la forma de vida de la corresponsabilidad. ¿Qué elecciones haremos esta semana que den testimonio de nuestra decisión de seguir a Jesucristo?

890AM KEEP INFORMED:

As the Church of Monterey continues to grow, our needs for the ministry of service continue to grow by leaps and bounds. The Deacon’s ministry is threefold: to the service of Charity and Justice; service of the Word; and service of the Liturgy. The Deacon is called to be a symbol of that service to which all God’s People are called and indeed is to be an animator of lay ministry. Deacons are serving the poor in many locations, service to the incarcerated, the sick and dying, migrants, those struggling with addictions, victims of violence, etc. They bring those experiences to their ministries of Word (preaching, teaching) and Liturgical service: presiding at Baptisms, Weddings, Funeral Vigils and Committals, and assisting at Sunday Eucharist.

To learn more about the life and ministry of a Deacon in the Church, there will be an information session held at

NATIVITY OF OUR LADY 221 DALY AVE. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA

ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2018 FROM 7:00 PM TO 8:00 PM

They are offered for those who want to explore a possible call to this ordained ministry. It is recommended that married men who are interested also bring their wives with them as it is her journey of discernment as well.

Come, join us for a brief but enjoyable evening!

God our Father, We open our hearts in trust as we await the selection

of a new bishop for our Monterey Diocese.

May our new bishop be a loving Shepherd, blessed with a compassionate heart.

And may our desire to humbly accompany him bring him courage and peace.

We ask this through the intercession of our Lady of Bethlehem and Saint Junipero Serra.

Amen.

THANK YOU ST. PATRICK’S!

The Seventh Annual Empty Bowls Community Luncheon had

its most successful year raising approximately $45,000. The

proceeds will be used to provide services to our neighbors in

need. The 5Cities Homeless Coalition is recognized as a

leading advocate for the homeless in South County. Last year

we served over 1,000 families. We could not have achieved

our success without the continued support of St. Patrick’s

Church and its parishioners.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Today is the feast of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales, the first representative body of many Catholics who died for their faith between 1535 and 1679 to be beatified or canonized. Almost all of them died at Tyburn, a place of public execution near today’s Marble Arch in Hyde Park, London. The first to suffer were Carthusian monks who refused to swear an oath supporting Henry VIII as supreme head of the Church in England, and the last was Saint Oliver Plunkett, the Primate Archbishop of Ireland. The method of execution was particularly vile, since the condemned were hanged and their living bodies quartered to be displayed around London as a horrific warning. Today, the tree-like gallows provides the design of a religious symbol, the canopy over the altar of the martyrs in Tyburn Convent. There, at the heart of the bustling city, a monastic community of women practices contemplative prayer and “spiritual hospitality” in the Benedictine tradition. Oddly, the community is French in origin; it was expelled from France a century ago when France outlawed contemplative monastic life. England, where the laws against Catholicism had been lifted, invited the community in. In gratitude to their new homeland, and in honor of those who gave their lives for the Catholic faith, the nuns came to Tyburn. In the public crypt, coats of arms stand for each of the 350 martyrs. A Web site visit is possible at www.tyburnconvent.org.uk.
