2 Weekly Reflection TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION It s interesting to imagine the scene when the changes in our liturgy were first tested. Choices for prayer texts were one thing, but responses from the people were another. In early 1967, secret test-drives of the new Mass were conducted in the Vatican. Pope Paul VI was present, and there was a handful of bishops, priests, a few laypeople and two sisters making up the assembly. Everyone had a booklet with every word of the songs, rubrics, and prayers, blank paper, and a pencil for notes. After each Mass, the ordained men in the group met in the pope s library to share their experiences. The laypeople and sisters met separately. Over a week s time they tested what they called a read Mass with singing, a Mass entirely recited, and a Sung Mass. While the ordained were generally in favor, the lay comments were very clear and insightful, and had great impact on the final result. This was a brilliant plan on the part of the pope, who got to see how the reform was going, and to recognize in this small trial run a growing consensus that reform was needed and welcome. Based on his observation, Pope Paul VI called for specific innovations, such as beginning the Mass with the sign of the cross. It s amazing that some of our most familiar rites are really quite new treasures of our tradition! Rev. James Field Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Esta organización toma su nombre de un jesuita español del siglo XVII, Pedro, quien llegó a Cartagena (Colombia) en 1610 y se escandalizó ante la trata de esclavos en el continente americano. A pesar de censuras papales en contra de la esclavitud esta pecaminosa costumbre seguía robando humanidad a los africanos. Pedro se consagró al servicio de ellos, recibiéndolos con caridad, comida y alivio apenas llegaban en los barcos. Pedro no pudo liberar a los esclavos pero si se dedicó a servirlos y convertirlos. Él preparaba catequistas de entre los mismos africanos para que pudieran cristianizar a los recién llegados. Pedro Claver sufrió muchos insultos y calumnias por reunir a los africanos en iglesias y en especial, por darles los sacramentos cristianos. Sus propios superiores, dejándose llevar por las críticas de los criollos, lo castigaban por el trabajo que hacía con los esclavos. Por tal razón se autonombró como Pedro Claver, de los negros, esclavo para siempre. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

4 September 3, nd Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 DID YOU KNOW? Warn tweens and teens about selfie risks Teens and tweens typically like to push boundaries and test their limits, but the new trend of taking dangerous selfies has led to several tragedies. There are far too many people who think that taking a picture while driving, or standing out on a ledge, is more important than their own safety, and that getting likes on a photo makes the risks worth it. Talk to your kids about safety, smart choices, and being aware of their environment and surroundings, even when they re using their smartphones. For a copy of the VIRTUS online article Selfies are More Dangerous than You Think, jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) SABÍA USTED? Advierta a los adolescentes y preadolescentes sobre los riesgos de los selfies A los adolescentes y preadolescentes por lo común les gusta tomar riesgos y probar sus límites, pero la nueva tendencia de tomar selfies peligrosos ha llevado a varias tragedias. Hay demasiadas personas que piensan que tomar una foto mientras se conduce, o pararse en una repisa es más importante que su propia seguridad, y que obtener likes por una foto hace que los riesgos valgan la pena. Hable con sus hijos acerca de la seguridad, las elecciones inteligentes, y ser conscientes de su entorno y sus alrededores, incluso cuando están usando sus teléfonos inteligentes.

Chris Ponnet A Reception will follow in the hall, hosted by the AIDS Ministry. Meet Our School We continue to invite everyone in the community to come by the school and have coffee with SFA s principals. In the spirit of getting to know our community, we would like to share something about our school every week. This week, we would like to introduce Ms. Leslie De Leonardis, our principal: After graduating from UCLA, Ms. De L came to SFA 14 years ago as the Jr. High math and science teacher. Teaching for 9 years, she never thought that she would become a principal. However, the challenges of innovating and modernizing curriculum inspired her to become a leader. Almost five years later, SFA has been recognized by the Archdiocese as a model for its multiage STREAM curriculum. Throughout the year, it is not uncommon to see educators from other Catholic schools come to SFA and learn about its innovative programs.
