All pets are welcome to receive a blessing. Then God said, Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds. And so it happened: God made all kinds of wild animals, all kinds of cattle, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth. God saw how good it was.

Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, Archangels Friday: St. Jerome Saturday: St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus; First Saturday LOOKING BEYOND OURSELVES The message found in today s readings is an ofttold story. Citizen Kane, Daddy Warbucks, and King Midas are only a few of the familiar fictional characters who thought enormous wealth could buy happiness and fulfillment. Daddy Warbucks admitted stepping on a few people in his climb to the top. Kane tried to buy the printed word and stardom for his young wife, while King Midas conjured immense wealth and tragedy by his very touch. We learn clearly in today s readings that none of this is really possible. True happiness comes from caring for someone other than ourselves. It comes from the pursuit of the virtues Paul described to Timothy: faith, love, gentleness, godliness, righteousness, and endurance. The Gospel reminds us that we dare not ignore the needs of others, acting as though we don t notice their suffering. God s call to us is much too clear to disregard for even one more day.

Laguna Beach RCIA SPONSORS NEEDED We are now blessed to have several adults who are in the RCIA process. An important part of this process is the personal touch of a sponsor from our congregation to move alongside of them during this time. Basically, a sponsor is a friend. One who is supportive and welcoming to the new candidate as they learn about the Catholic faith. A person who will be invitational and include them in their everyday lives and events. Do you recognize these gifts in yourself? If you do, we need you to share them! A sponsor is a vital part of the process and a link to the social and spiritual life of our church. The sponsor will attend the RCIA meetings after the 9am mass. They are not expected to be experts in Catholicism and know everything there is about the faith. We as a team certainly do not. What we hope to do is evangelize, which is an important part of this present period of Inquiry and Precatechumenate. We share our stories! We share about Jesus forgiveness and unconditional love. As we share, we learn more about our faith and our personal relationship with Jesus. It is a fun, interesting and vital ministry. We laugh, cry, celebrate and learn together in a social and spiritual environment. In the near future you will be hearing first hand from some of our past sponsors and their experiences. If you have any interest in learning about the ministry and hearing more about it, would you please contact me in the church office, ext Blessings, Donna Beam

9 Vigésimo Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 25 de septiembre de 2016 Page 9 Lecturas y Noticias MIRAR MÁS ALLÁ DE NOSOTROS MISMOS El mensaje de las lecturas de hoy es una vieja historia. El Ciudadano Kane, Papi Warbucks y el Rey Midas son sólo unos pocos de los familiares personajes ficticios que pensaban que con una enorme fortuna podrían comprar la felicidad y la completa satisfacción. Papi Warbucks admite haber pisoteado a algunas personas en su ascenso a la cumbre. Kane trató de comprar la palabra impresa y el estrellato para su joven esposa, mientras que el Rey Midas conjura inmensa fortuna y tragedia sólo con su toque. Aprendemos claramente en las lecturas de hoy que nada de esto es posible. Alcanzamos la verdadera felicidad cuando nos interesamos en los demás. Cuando practicamos las virtudes que Dios describe a Timoteo: fe, amor, mansedumbre, piedad, rectitud y justicia. El Evangelio nos recuerda que no osemos ignorar las necesidades de los demás, actuando como si no notáramos su sufrimiento. El llamado de Dios a nosotros es demasiado claro. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La última mitad del siglo pasado, nuestro continente vio el derrame de muchísima sangre cristiana. No podemos olvidar la sangre de quienes dieron la vida por el Evangelio de la justicia: Michel Quiroga evangelizador colombiano; Agustina Rivas monjita peruana; Vicente Matute líder indígena hondureño; Marlene Kegler una universitaria de 23 años argentina. Estos son algunos ejemplos de tantos que murieron creyendo que la doctrina cristiana no se puede contener en templos y conventos. Dieron la vida por querer vivir su fe en situaciones de discriminación e injusticia. Derramando su sangre se convirtieron en ángeles de justicia que gritan a Dios uniendo sus voces a la de Abel. Todos estos mártires latinoamericanos murieron a manos de latinoamericanos. Dieron sus vidas, según la mártir chilena Joan Alsina, como granos de trigo. Y desde el cielo ella nos pide: Esperamos tu solidaridad. Entiendes ahora lo que significa el Cuerpo de Cristo? Si nosotros nos hundimos es algo de tu esperanza la que se hunde. Pero si de las cenizas asumimos la vida de nuevo, es algo que nace de nuevo en ustedes. TALENTOSOS Y ENERGÉTICOS El infierno está lleno de talentosos, pero el cielo está lleno de gente con energía. Santa Juan Francisca de Chantal
