CATHOLIC CEMETERIES OF THE DIOCESE OF SAN JOSE Please call for Pre-Need or At-Need Arrangements Gate of Heaven Cemetery Cristo Rey Drive Los Altos, CA Calvary Cemetery 2655 Madden Ave. San Jose, CA GOD'S HEALING JUSTICE An old expression holds that the sunwarmed stone heals. Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only dark, sunless days are in store for those who do not find a place for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells us that the warmth and light of God's healing justice await those who fear the Lord. That's a pretty comforting notion--especially now in the already short and growing even shorter days of November. It's the sun-warmed stone, and then some. Paul speaks to us of justice as well, but points out that it is not a passive thing. To be treated justly, we need to do our fair share. If we are diligent and persevere we will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our labor. Lastly, Luke, too, tells us to persevere--in faith, this time-- and our lives will be secure in God regardless of how we are treated by our enemies. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. LA JUSTICIA SANADORA DE DIOS Una antigua expresión sostiene que las piedras calentadas por el sol curan. Tal vez. Pero el profeta Malaquías explica que a aquellos que no encuentran un lugar para Dios en sus vidas sólo le esperan días oscuros, sin sol. El profeta nos dice que, a la inversa, el afecto y la luz de la justicia sanadora de Dios aguardan a aquellos que temen al Señor. Esa es una noción bastante consoladora - especialmente ahora durante los días breves, cada vez más breves, de noviembre. Es la piedra calentada por el sol, y mucho más. Pablo, igualmente, nos habla de justicia pero señala que esta no es algo pasivo. Para ser tratados con justicia, debemos aportar nuestra parte. Si somos diligentes y perseveramos, seremos recompensados con y por los frutos de nuestra labor. Finalmente, Lucas también nos llama a perseverar -en la fe, esta vez- y nos dice que nuestras vidas estarán aseguradas en Dios no importa cómo nos traten nuestros enemigos. Copyright (c) J. S.

7 November 13, 2016 Archbishop Mitty High School OPEN HOUSE Sunday, November 20, 2016 Guided tours from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM Archbishop Mitty High School is located at 5000 Mitty Avenue San Jose, California (408) Please view our website for additional information about our Catholic college preparatory high school. Bishop Jaime Soto, President of the California Catholic Conference, issued the following statement on behalf of his fellow Bishops in California: Animosity and hyperbole has characterized the current election season. This should give all people pause. The natural and healthy exchange of ideas, critical to our democratic system has devolved into anger, intolerance and increasing alienation. This current polarization hampers the advancement of the common good, which is one of the ultimate goals of all prudent governance. The common good the sum total of social conditions which allow people, either as groups or as individuals, to reach their fulfilment more fully and more easily (Gaudium et Spes, 26.) requires cooperation and mutual respect. It requires that all be given the opportunity to participate in civic activities and partake in the benefits of our society. Just a little more than one year ago, in his historic address to the U.S. Congress, Pope Francis reminded us that the Golden Rule applies in political discourse, as well as in our daily life: This Rule points us in a clear direction. Let us treat others with the same passion and compassion with which we want to be treated. Let us seek for others the same possibilities which we seek for ourselves. Let us help others to grow, as we would like to be helped ourselves. In a word, if we want security, let us give security; if we want life, let us give life; if we want opportunities, let us provide opportunities. The yardstick we use for others will be the yardstick which time will use for us. The Golden Rule also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development. As we approach the 240th anniversary of our Republic, we remain a resilient people, with a robust system of law and deeply held religious convictions. As the Bishops of California who are pastors of our respective local Churches, we believe in the strength of our democracy, the ultimate decency of our people, and the persuasive power of the Christian faith. Pope Francis reminded us in his address the challenges facing us today call for a renewal of that spirit of cooperation, which has accomplished so much good throughout the history of the United States. The contentious campaigns have wearied and worried us. The more urgent civic endeavor of forging a stronger union, ensuring domestic as well as global tranquility, and establishing justice for all is still before us. This is the common cause and our sacred duty and mission as the disciples of Jesus. We invite all people to conscientiously participate with dignity, civility and respect for others. This may indeed be the narrow gate of the Gospel of this past Wednesday, October 20, but let us do so with constant prayer, and to place our faith in Him who is our hope and our salvation. ### ARCHDIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES AND SAN FRANCISCO DIOCESES OF FRESNO, MONTEREY, OAKLAND, ORANGE, SACRAMENTO, SAN BERNARDINO, SAN DIEGO, SAN JOSE, SANTA ROSA AND STOCKTON Guadalupe Hope Society/Guadalupe Women s Center 100 O Connor Drive Suite 1 San Jose, CA (408) GHS-LIFE St. Juan Diego Women s Center @jdwcenter.org N.
