Unbound is a non-confrontational deliverance ministry designed to use five simple keys to help you regain your freedom in Christ:

1. Repent and believe 2. Forgive 3. Renounce 4. Take back authority 5. Receive the Father’s blessing Come to a morning of instruction and information on this dynamic new ministry. We are offering this ministry on first Wednesdays of the month from 7:30AM-9:30AM and last Saturday of the month from 11:00AM-1:00PM. Kay Cogswell is the contact person in order to schedule an appointment. Her cell is 760- 420-2002.

“I was healed of my depression following my first session" And...

“I am able to forgive for the first time.”

These are true statements made by some of the people who have been ministered to.

UNBOUND Helping Others To Find Freedom in CHRIST

Saint of the Day John Bosco’s theory of education could well be used in today’s schools. It was a preventive system, rejecting corporal punishment and placing students in surroundings removed from the likelihood of committing sin. He advocated frequent reception of the sacraments of Penance and Holy Communion. He combined catechetical training and fatherly guidance, seeking to unite the spiritual life with one’s work, study and play. Encouraged during his youth to become a priest so he could work with young boys, John was ordained in 1841. His service to young people started when he met a poor orphan and . After serving as chaplain in a hospice for working girls, John opened the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales for boys. Several wealthy and powerful patrons contributed money, enabling him to provide two workshops for boys, shoemaking and tailoring. By 1856 the institution had grown to 150 boys and had added a printing press for publication of religious and catechetical pamphlets. His interest in vocational education and publishing justify him as patron of young apprentices and Catholic publisher. By 1856, the institution had grown to 150 boys and had added a printing press for publication of religious and catechetical pamphlets.

His interest in vocational education and publishing justify him as patron of young apprentices and Catholic publishers. John’s preaching fame spread and by 1850 he had trained his own helpers because of difficulties in retaining young priests. In 1854 he and his followers informally banded together, inspired by St. Francis de Sales [January 24]. With Pope Pius IX’s encouragement, John gathered 17 men and founded the Salesians in 1859. Their activity concentrated on education and mission work. Later, he organized a group of Salesian Sisters to assist girls. Comments: John Bosco educated the whole body and soul united. He believed that Christ’s love and our faith in the at love should pervade everything we do- work, study, play. For Joh Bosco, being a Christian was a full time effort, not a once-a-week, Mass-on-Sunday experience. It is searching and finding God and Jesus in everything we do, letting their love lead us. Yet because John realized the importance of job-training and the self-worth and pride that come with talent and ability, he trained his students in the trade crafts, too “Every education teaches a philosophy; if not by dogma then by suggestion, by implication, by atmosphere. Every part of that education has a connection with every other part. If it does not all combine to convey some general view of life, it is not education at all” (G.K. Chesterton, The Common Man).

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations: Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us. Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests, deacons and religious should result in a holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are help-ing our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

Year of Mercy Prayer : Lord Jesus Christ, You have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking

happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief. Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his pow-er above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send Your Spirit And Consecrate Every One Of Us With Its Anointing. So The Jubilee of Mercy May Be A Year Of Grace From The Lord. And Your Church. With Renewed Enthusiasm, May We Bring Your Good News To The Poor. Pro-claim Liberty To Captives And The Oppressed, And Restore Sight To The Blind. We Ask This Through The Intercession Of Mary, Mother Of Mercy. You Who Live And Reign With The Father And The Holy Spirit For Ever And Ever. Amen

“A Time to Heal, to Help, to Forgive."

REZO PARA SACERDOTES....Jesús, reza por tu sacerdote fiel y ferviente; Por tus sacerdotes infieles y tibios; Por tus sacerdotes que trabajan en casa o en un pais extran-jero y en misiónes distantes. Por tu sacerdote tentado; Por tus sacerdotes solos y solitarios; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes agonizantes; por las almas de tus sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pe-cados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacer-dotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones: Jesús de la coseha, mira con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego Bendito sea el Señor, porque él ha escuchado el sonido de mi escrito: "el Señor es mi fortaleza y mi escu-do. En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda; a continuación, mi corazón exultante y con mi hijo le doy fuerza mi escudo . En él confía en mi corazón, y encontrar ayuda; a continuación, mi corazón exultante, y con mi canción le doy gracias. Salmo 28:6 con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón semejante al tuyo. María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

Oración para el Año de la Misericordia Señor Jesucristo, Tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él. Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación. Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura; hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra

que dijiste a la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios! Tú eres el rostro visible del Padre invisible, del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso. Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de debilidad para que sientan sincera compasión por los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error: haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios. Manda tu Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusi-asmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobres proclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidos y restituir la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.“Un tiempo para Sanar, para Ayudar, para Perdonar".

Tercer Domingo En Tiempo Ordinario 31 de Enero 2016

Santo del Dia Teoría de la educación de Juan Bosco también podría ser utilizado en las escuelas de hoy en día. Era un sistema preventivo, rechazando los castigos corporales y la colocación de los estudiantes en un en-torno retirado de la probabilidad de cometer pecado. Abogó por la recepción frecuente de los sacra-mentos de la Penitencia y la Santa Comunión. Combinó la formación catequética y orientación pater-nal, tratando de unir a la vida espiritual con el propio trabajo, el estudio y el juegmuchachos, Juan fue ordenado en 1841. Su servicio a los jóvenes comenzó cuando conoció a un pobre huérfano. Alentada durante su juventud para convertirse en un sacerdote para que pudiera trabajar con muchachos. Después de servir como capellán de un hospicio para niñas trabajadoras, Juan abrió el Oratorio de San Francisco de Sales para los jovenes. Varios clientes ricos y poderosos contribuyeron dinero, lo que le permitió ofrecer dos talleres para jovenes, de zapatería y sastrería.

Por 1856 la institución había crecido a 150 niños y se había añadido una imprenta para la publicación de folletos religiosos y de catequesis.

Su interés por la educación y la edición profesional lo justifica como patrono de los jóvenes aprendices y editorial católica. Por 1856, la institución había crecido a 150 niños y se había añadido una imprenta para la publicación de folletos religiosos y de catequesis. Su interés por la educación y la edición profesional lo justifica como patrono de los jóvenes aprendices y los edito-res católicos. La fama sobre la predicación de Juan extendió y en 1850 él había entrenado a sus propios ayudantes debido a las dificultades en la retención de sacerdotes joven. En 1854 él y sus seguidores se unieron de manera informal, inspirado por San Francisco de Sales [24 de enero].

Con el aliento del Papa Pío IX, Juan reunió a 17 hombres y fundó los Salesianos en 1859. Su actividad se concentró en la edu-cación y en la misión de trabajo. Más tarde, se organizó un grupo de Hijas de María Auxiliadora para ayudar a las niñas. Comentarios Juan Bosco educados todo el cuerpo y el alma unidos. Él creía que el amor de Cristo y nuestra fe en el amor a deben impregnar todo lo que hacemos- trabajar, estudiar, jugar. Para Juan Bosco, ser cristiano fue un esfuerzo de tiempo com-pleto, no una vez a la semana, la experiencia de Misa-los domingos. Está buscando y encontrando a Dios y Jesús en todo lo que hacemos, dejando que su amor nos llevan. Sin embargo, porque Juan se dio cuenta de la importancia de la capacitación para el trabajo y la autoestima y el orgullo que vienen con talento y habilidad, se entrenó a sus estudiantes en la artesanía de comercio, también.

'Cada educación enseña una filosofía; si no por el dogma después por sugerencia, por implicación, por la atmósfera. Cada parte de que la educación tiene una conexión con todas las demás partes. Si no es así se combinan para transmitir alguna visión general de la vida, no es educación en absoluto '(GK Chesterton, El Hombre Común)
