Part of our participation is to pray regularly in a way that will bring God s wisdom and power to bear on the process to select our political leaders. I suggest the following prayer as worthy of being prayed, and perhaps cut out for use by posting it on a mirror, a refrigerator door, or, inserting it in a prayer book. AN ELECTION YEAR PRAYER Most Holy Trinity, You are Truth and You are Love; indivisible, universal and absolute. May Your Name be held Holy through our enlightened and active citizenship in our nation, in our world and for the sake of Your Kingdom. May Your Will be done in our citizens and in our political candidates as we prepare for the elections in November. Give us this day the grace to know that Love without Truth is not Love, and, Truth without Love is not Truth. * Guard us against temptations to selfish interests, bitterness, cynicism and apathy. Help us work hard to ensure the common good by upholding the inalienable rights and the innate dignity of every human being, especially of those who are most vulnerable. Deliver us from the deceitful tactics of the evil one as you empower us to fulfill our pledge to be one nation under God, indivisible, With liberty and justice for all. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory now and forever. Amen! *Quote from St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) Christmas Blessings, Fr. John PRAY FOR THOSE WHO RECENTLY DIED May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace: Sergio Haro Mendez, Adriana (Audrey) Deniz St. Anne Chapel Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament today following Mass.

Cualquier pregunta comuniquese con Yolanda Navarro al (661) 831-6150 ó en la página de internet www.pilgrimages.com/ RINCÓN DEL PÁRROCO Todo ciudadano Católico tiene la gran responsabilidad de participar en el proceso político; de votar por los candidatos y los temas que más reflejan los valores del Reino de Dios. Parte de nuestra participación es orar regularmente de una manera que nos traerá la sabiduría y el poder de Dios para influir en el proceso para seleccionar a nuestros líderes políticos. Sugiero la siguiente oración que creo es digna de rezar, y tal vez se puede pegar en tu espejo, en la puerta de la nevera, o, insertándola en tu libro de oraciones. ORACIÓN ANUAL PARA LAS ELECCIONES Santísima Trinidad, Tú que eres Verdad y amor; indivisible, universal y absoluta. Que Tu nombre sea considerado Santo a través de nuestra ciudadanía ilustrada y activa en nuestro país, en nuestro mundo y por el bien de Tu Reino. Hágase Tu Voluntad Con nuestros ciudadanos y candidatos políticos mientras nos preparamos para las elecciones de Noviembre. Danos hoy la gracia de saber que "El Amor sin Verdad no es amor, y, La Verdad sin Amor no es Verdad." * Protégenos contra las tentaciones a los intereses egoístas, la amargura, el cinismo y la apatía. Ayúdanos a trabajar duro para garantizar el bien común Al defender los derechos inalienables y la dignidad innata de todos los seres humanos, especialmente de los que son más vulnerables. Líbranos de las tácticas engañosas del maligno a medida que Tu nos das poder para cumplir con nuestra promesa de ser "Una nación bajo un Dios, indivisible, Con libertad y justicia para todos." Porque Tuyo es el Reino, tuyo el Poder y la Gloria por siempre Señor. Amén! *Frase de Santa Teresa Benedicta de la Cruz (Edith Stein) Bendiciones! P.
