MEssage from our Ministers22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him? - Deuteronomy 4:7
The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord. - Responsorial Psalm Refrain Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. - James 1:22 This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. . . . - Mark 7:6 We do the things we do not want to do and do not do the things we want to do (cf Romans 7:19). We desire to do what is good, right, and just, but do not always carry it out. We try to refrain from doing evil, but we are caught up in it. “As a result of original sin, human nature is weakened in its powers; subject to ignorance, suffering, and the domination of death; and inclined to sin” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 418). “The grace of Christ is the gratuitous gift that God makes to us of his own life, infused by the Holy Spirit into our soul to heal it of sin and to sanctify it” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1999). God well knows our predicament. God well knows our hearts. Let us reflect on God’s love and desire for us. Let us ask for the grace to put God’s word into action this week so that our hearts will draw closer to God. 
Décimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"¿hay alguna nación tan grande que tenga los dioses tan cerca como lo está Yahveh nuestro Dios siempre que le invocamos?" - Deuteronomio, 4 - Bíblia Católica Online El que practica la justicia vivirá en la presencia del Señor. - del Salmo Responsorial "22.Poned por obra la Palabra y no os contentéis sólo con oírla, engañándoos a vosotros mismos" - Santiago, 1 - Bíblia Católica Online "Este pueblo me honra con los labios, pero su corazón está lejos de mí." - Marcos, 7 - Bíblia Católica Online Hacemos las cosas que no queremos hacer; y no hacemos las cosas que queremos hacer (cf. Romanos 7:19). Deseamos hacer lo bueno, lo correcto y lo justo, pero no siempre lo llevamos a cabo. Tratamos de abstenernos de hacer el mal, pero caemos atrapados en él. “Como resultado del pecado original, la naturaleza humana se debilita en su poder; sujeto a la ignorancia, al sufrimiento y el dominio de la muerte; e inclinado al pecado ”(Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, 418). “La gracia de Cristo es el don gratuito que Dios nos hace a nosotros de su propia vida, infundido por el Espíritu Santo en nuestra alma, para sanarla del pecado y santificarla” (Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, 1999). Dios conoce bien nuestro predicamento. Dios conoce bien nuestros corazones. Reflexionemos sobre el amor de Dios y sus deseos para nosotros. Pidamos la gracia de poner en acción la palabra de Dios esta semana para que nuestro corazón se acerque más a Dios. AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. Sincerely, Fr. Mark PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19

Gospel Meditation
“Their hearts are far from me.” My dear parish family, In today’s Gospel, Jesus expresses his sadness about the fact the hearts of some people are distant and closed. He complains that “Their hearts are far from me.” (Mark 7:1-23) God wants our hearts to be open and close to him so that he can fill them with the warmth of his love. I want to thank all of you who have opened your hearts and consoled me after the death of my mother last week. I learned that the hearts of my parishioners are not far from me. I felt the love of so many hearts that were open and poured out torrents of love in phone calls, texts, emails, sympathy cards, and food for me and my family. After Masses, everyone expressed their heartfelt condolences. Jesus has filled the hearts of my parishioners with the warm love of his Sacred Heart, which then overflows and is poured out upon the needy and the sorrowful. For the past month, we have been reflecting on the Eucharist, which is Jesus’ way of filling our hearts with his love. We have been listening to chapter six of the Gospel of John about the Bread from Heaven which we must eat if we wish to have life within us. Today, however, we return to the Gospel of Mark which is read on most Sundays this year. The Gospel of Mark also presents Jesus as the one who wants to fill us with his love. Chapter six of Marks’ Gospel describes how Jesus multiplies loaves of bread to feed a huge crowd. Chapters 6-8 of John’s Gospel are called “the bread section” of Mark’s Gospel because there are many references to bread, loaves, food, and eating. Jesus wants to fill us. He comes to dwell in our hearts as in a temple. He is traveling toward Jerusalem where he will cleanse the temple and replace the temple sacrifices by offering himself as the new Passover meal. But not everyone will accept the nourishment that Jesus wants to provide. Their hearts are far from him. The Pharisees and the temple scribes are so fixated on the minute details of their rituals that they forget about the love of God and neighbor (chapter 7). They purify cups and jugs but fail to purify their hearts. They worry about what goes into their stomachs, but they don’t think about the filth that flows out of their hearts. Jesus complains that they neglect the charity that begins at home, making excuses. He says that they fail to honor their father and mother by saying that they are doing more important work in the temple. He accuses them of neglecting their needy parents by claiming a religious exemption. The scribes believed that since they worked in the temple, their possessions could be considered as belonging to the temple. They could claim that all their wealth belonged to God, and so they could either enjoy it themselves, or offer some of it at the altar, but they claimed that they could not give any of it to anyone outside the temple, even needy parents. Jesus accuses them with strong words: “You say, ‘If a person says to father or mother, “Any support you might have had from me is qorban”’ (meaning, dedicated to God), you allow him to do nothing more for his father or mother.” Sometimes a priest or religious sister does have to leave his father and mother and go to a faraway place to work for souls. Last year a young lady from Riverbank went to Cleveland to become a Mercedarian Sister. Now she is now Sister Raquel of the Holy Spirit and is moving to another convent in New Orleans. Only once a year can she visit her mother and her siblings in Riverbank. She has been called by God and must have faith that God in his providence will care for her dear mother. I am so blessed that I was moved back to my home parish in time to help care for my elderly parents. Providentially my two sisters were also able to be here during the time of my mother’s terminal illness and death. God is so good! He has allowed me to offer sacrifice at the altar in the temple and also to care for the temple which is the body of my mother. Now that she has died, I can dedicate more time to serving my mother, the church. The maternal heart of my mother has stopped beating, and her love seems far away, but I have discovered that my parish is like a loving mother to me. I also rely on the help of the Immaculate Heart of my heavenly Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Please continue to pray for my mother, that she may enter the heavenly Jerusalem! Pray to St. Joseph for Josephine, who died in the Year of St. Joseph! Fr. Mark
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO "Su Corazón Está Lejos de Mí". Mi querida familia parroquial, En el evangelio de hoy, Jesús expresa su tristeza porque los corazónes de algunas personas están distantes y cerrados. Se queja de que "su corazón está lejos de mí". (Marcos 7: 1-23) Dios quiere que nuestro corazón esté abierto y cercano, para que él pueda llenarlo con el calor de su amor. Quiero agradecer a todos ustedes que abrieron sus corazones y me consolaron después de la muerte de mi madre la semana pasada. Ahora sé que los corazones de mis feligreses no están lejos de mí. Sentí el amor de tantos corazones que se abrieron para derramar torrentes de amor en forma de llamadas telefónicas, mensajes de texto, correos electrónicos, tarjetas de condolencia y comida para mi familia. Saliendo de Misa, todos expresaron su más sentido pésame. Desde el Sagrado Corazon de Jesús, mis feligreses han recibido un amor ferveroso que luego se desborda y se derrama sobre los necesitados y afligidos. Durante el último mes, hemos estado reflexionando sobre la Eucaristía, que es la forma en que Jesús llena nuestros corazones con su amor. Hemos escuchado el capítulo seis del Evangelio de Juan donde Jesús explica que debemos comer si queremos tener vida dentro de nosotros. Sin embargo, este domingo hemos vuelto al Evangelio de Marcos, que se lee en casi todos los domingos de este año. El evangelio de Marcos también dice que el gran deseo de Jesús es de alimentarnos con su amor. En el capítulo seis del Evangelio de Marcos, Jesús multiplica las hogazas de pan para alimentar a una gran multitud. Los capítulos 6 al 8 del Evangelio de Juan se denominan "la sección del pan" donde el evangelista San Marcos incluye muchas referencias al pan, a hogazas, a la comida y el comer. Jesús quiere alimentarnos. Jesus llega para morar en nuestros corazones como en un templo. Se describe a Jesus caminando dirección Jerusalén donde limpiará el templo y reemplazará los sacrificios que se ofrecen en el altar del templo. Jesus llega para ofrecerse a sí mismo como la nueva comida pascual. Pero no todos aceptarán este alimento que Jesús quiere ofrecer. Sus corazones están cerradas y lejos de él. Los fariseos y los escribas del templo están tan obsesionados con los detalles minuciosos de sus observancias y rituales que se olvidan de lo importante que es el amor a Dios y al prójimo (capítulo 7). Ellos purifican copas y cántaros, pero no purifican su corazón. Se preocupan por lo que entra en sus estómagos, pero no piensan en la suciedad que fluye de sus corazones. Jesús se queja de que descuidan la caridad que de comenzar en el hogar. Jesus dice que ellos ponen excusas para no honrar a su padre y a su madre. Ellos dicen que son no necesitan hacer caridad porque están haciendo un trabajo más importante en el templo. Ellos descuidan a sus familiares que padecen necesidad, diciendo que tienen una exención religiosa. Los escribas creían que, dado que trabajaban en el templo, sus posesiones podían considerarse como pertenecientes al templo. Podían afirmar que todas sus riquezas pertenecían a Dios, por lo que podían disfrutarlas ellos mismos o bien ofrecerlas en el altar, pero que no podían dar limosna a alguien fuera del templo, ni siquiera a los padres necesitados. Jesús los acusa con palabras muy fuertes: “Según ustedes, alguien puede decir a su padre o a su madre: ‘Lo que podías esperar de mí es “consagrado”, ya lo tengo reservado para el Templo.’ Y ustedes ya no dejan que esa persona ayude a sus padres". A veces los sacerdotes y religiosas deben dejar a su padre y a su madre para irse a un lugar lejano para trabajar por las almas. El año pasado, una joven de Riverbank fue a Cleveland, Ohio, para entrar en un convento de Hermanas Mercedarias. Ahora ella es Hermana Raquel del Espíritu Santo y ayer fue enviada a otro convento en Nueva Orleans en Louisiana. Solo una vez al año puede visitar a su madre y sus hermanos en Riverbank. Ella es llamada por Dios y debe confiar que la providencia de Dios proveerá para su mamá. Doy gracias a Dios porque me han enviado aquí a esta parroquia para estar más cerca de mis padres ancianos. Así puedo ayudarles en los últimos anos de su vida. Providencialmente, mis dos hermanas también pudieron estar aquí durante el tiempo de la enfermedad y la muerte de mi madre. ¡Dios es bueno! Me ha permitido ofrecer sacrificios en el altar del templo y al mismo tiempo cuidar también al templo corporal de mi querida madre. Ahora que ha muerto, puedo dedicar más tiempo a servir a mi madre que es la iglesia. El corazón maternal de mi mamá ha dejado de latir, y su amor parece lejano, pero he descubierto que mi parroquia es como una madre amorosa para mí. También cuento con la ayuda del Inmaculado Corazón de mi Madre celestial, la Santísima Virgen María. ¡Por favor, siguen rezando por mi madre, para que pueda entrar en la Jerusalén celestial! ¡Reza a San José por Josefina, que murió en el Año de San José!

22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Be doers of the word and not hearers only. - James 1:22
It’s easy to understand the definition of stewardship – living a grateful and generous life. The hard part is doing it! How do your actions reflect God’s word? Do you share your time in prayer with God? Do you use your talent to help those in need? Are you generous with your financial resources? If not, what are you waiting for?

Si no es así, ¿que está esperando?

Sharing the Gospel
Wash your hands before you eat! Did you know that rule came from God, so that we would stay healthy? In today's Gospel, the Pharisees liked to wash their hands and follow God's rules, but only because they liked to show off. Don't be like those Pharisees. When you follow God's rules, do the right thing out of love for God.
Prayer
Dear God, help me to keep my heart clean, full of love for you and other people. Amen.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of yourself cleaning up the dishes after a meal.
Mission for the Week
The next time you wash your hands, thank God that he made rules to keep us all safe, healthy and happy.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

Saint Jeanne Jugan
|
1792-1879
Feast Day: August 30 Born in Brittany, in France, Jeanne was four when her fisherman father died. Her mother supported six children as a farm laborer. Jeanne became a kitchen maid at 16, and her mistress took her on visits to the sick and poor. She joined a third order at 25, working in a hospital for six years, then returned to domestic service. Soon, however, she began devoting herself entirely to care of the poor, especially widows, living in the community with two other women. Though she established the Little Sisters of the Poor in 1842, she was not recognized as the order’s founder until 1893. Canonized in 2009, she is considered a patron of the elderly.

Aunque ella estableció la orden de las Hermanitas de los Pobres en 1842, no fue reconocida como su fundadora hasta 1893. Juana fue canonizada en el 2009, y es considerada como una patrona de los ancianos.

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”
