Pastor’s Corner Dear Parishioners,

A big welcome to Father Parker Sandoval!

Fr. Parker is an archdiocesan priest who resides at

Resurrection Church. He is speaking at all of the

Masses about the beauty and the necessity of our

annual Together in Mission campaign. We hope that you will

prayerfully consider participating as a part of this crucial campaign in our

archdiocese. We are all in this together, including our service and

assistance to the poor. Thank you to all of our tried and loyal participants!

Ash Wednesday is coming up! It is Wednesday, March 1. Although

it is NOT a holy day of obligation, it’s a terrific opportunity to get a head start

on Lent by participating in the holy Mass and receiving ashes as a sign of

our turning away from sin and returning to the Gospel. Ashes are distributed

at each of the Masses this day. Masses will be at 6:30 AM, 8 AM, 10 AM

(Schools), 12:15 PM, 5:30 PM and 7:00 PM (in Spanish).

With Lent, we return to our every Friday Stations of the Cross

tradition. Stations are offered at 6 PM (English) and then again at 7 PM

(Spanish). We are planning to have Fish Fridays every Friday in place of the

old Lenten Soup Suppers. (We will still have soup (from Foxy’s) and bread

(from Porto’s), in addition to the fish dinner.) Fish Fridays take place from

6 PM – 7:30 PM.

Do you ever visit our Adoration chapel? Holy Family offers

Eucharistic Adoration 24/7 in our Msgr. Lirette chapel on Lomita Ave., just

west of the church. 24/7! Take advantage of this miracle prayer time and

make a visit to Jesus exposed in the monstrance. Consider being a

scheduled adorer—see page 4.

William E. Simon, Jr. wrote a terrific article entitled “Waking Up From

Spiritual Sleepwalking.” In it he writes, “Some wag once quipped, ‘I’m not

asleep, but that doesn’t mean I’m awake.’ This vividly describes many of

today’s churchgoers. Though disciplined about attendance, many believers

sleepwalk through faith. In my Catholic tradition, the number of parishioners

who regularly attend Mass and truly engage with the church stands between

7% and 18%.

“Secularists describe this spiritual inertia as a byproduct of

modernity. They claim that excitement about religion has dwindled as

humanity looks toward science. It’s an interesting assertion but not one

backed by data. Vigorous churches are found throughout the U.S., and other

parishes can emulate them.” [to be continued]

Peace and blessings,

Fr. Jim Bevacqua, Pastor

Together in Mission

6 February 19, 2017

Today, the Together in Mission

annual appeal will launch. This is

a great opportunity to put your

love into action. At every Mass

we will hear from an insightful

speaker that will tell us about the

importance of sharing our gifts

with others. We are in this

together—the mission of helping

our fellow brothers and sister and

we are all asked to share the

light of Christ with others. For

those of you that have made gifts

in the past, be on the lookout for

a special mailing from our

Archdiocesan leaders asking you

to renew your gift.

Please mail in your gift directly to

the Together in Mission office to

ensure that you’re counted

among those that have answered

this vital call. Our parish has

been tasked with raising YOUR

PARISH GOAL I am confident

that each of you will prayerfully

consider sharing the abundant

gifts that God has shared with

each of us.

This Weekend we have Fr. Parker Sandoval speaking at all Masses next weekend about how

your support to Together in Mission makes a difference to parishes and schools in need in our

DID YOU KNOW?

Denial as a defense mechanism

It may be difficult to understand why an abuse

victim does not come forward immediately to report an assault. For those

who have suffered sexual assault or abuse, denial can be a powerful

defense mechanism, one that allows them to cope with the trauma and

its aftermath. Often, an abuser is someone the victim knows and trusts,

which makes it even harder to understand why the abuse is happening,

and harder to come forward and ask for help and protection. For a copy

of the VIRTUS© article “The Many Faces of Denial, Part 2” email:

GRUPO DE ORACION

“SANTA MONICA”

NOCHE DE ORACION – ALABANZA –

TEMAS DE MEDITACION

Los esperamos todos los martes a las 7:00

de la noche.

Amar es entregarse, olvidándose de sí,

buscando lo que al otro, puede hacerle feliz.

Qué lindo es vivir para amar, que grande es

tener para dar, dar alegría y felicidad

darse uno mismo eso es amar. Dar alegría y

felicidad, darse uno mismo eso es amar.

BENDITO SEA DIOS! BENDITA SEA LA VIRGEN MARIA!

La afabilidad es una virtud que hace amable la vida cotidiana. En la familia, en el

trabajo, en la calle, en el tráfico, en la iglesia, etc. Nos encontramos con personas

diferentes y de caracteres y modos de ser muy diversos o muy diferentes a los

nuestros. Sin embargo por un cierto deber natural de honestidad, estamos llamados

a ser afables con quienes nos rodean. La Afabilidad tiene por objeto agradar a los

demás, sin embargo a veces es necesario desagradar para conseguir un bien o para

evitar un mal y debemos de hacer alguna corrección. Es preciso que la corrección

se haga con amor y se debe de cuidar la forma en que se hace para no producir o

causar heridas innecesarias. La afabilidad es la virtud opuesta al egoísmo, al

malhumor, a las faltas de educación en el trato mutuo, al desorden, a los gritos, al

rencor, al odio, a la frialdad e indiferencia egoísta. Muchas veces pasamos al lado de personas que sufren alguna

enfermedad o llevan un problema de tristeza por sentirse ignoradas y aun conociéndolas, apenas les miramos el

rostro. Bastaría una palabra cordial, un gesto afectuoso, una cortesía, una gratitud, respeto, una palabra de amor,

puede llegar como una ráfaga de aire fresco a una persona que se sienta encerrada y oprimida por la tristeza y por el

desaliento. Debemos de convivir lo mejor que podamos con todos, Así tendremos un corazón lleno de Dios y ser

ejemplos como Santa Isabel se lleno de alegría cuando la Virgen María la visito.

“ Como he merecido yo que venga a mí la Madre de mi Señor? Apenas llego tu saludo a mis oídos, el niño salto de

alegría en mis entrañas. Lc 1,43-44

“EL SALUDO DE MARIA LLENO DE ALEGRIA EL CORAZON DE SU ANCIANA PRIMA ISABEL.”

AVISOS

El domingo 26 de febrero celebramos la Santa Misa por todas las intenciones Guadalupanas, especialmente por los

enfermos. Entraremos en procesión llevando los distintivos Guadalupanos. Después tendremos nuestra reunión

mensual en el auditorio. Los esperamos. Le damos gracias a Dios por la salud de Don Marquito, por Argentina y por

todos los demás que ya han sido sanados o están en proceso de sanación. Les pido que ofrezcan sus oraciones por

Amandita Pérez que sigue delicada de salud. Muchas gracias y que Dios y la Santísima Virgen los bendigan siempre

a todos. Que el Espíritu Santo siga guiándonos en todo lo que hagamos.

Les encomiendo me tengan en sus oraciones.

Rosario Arias, Sociedad Guadalupana, 818-522-5151

SABIA USTED?

La negación como mecanismo de defensa

Puede ser difícil entender por qué una víctima de

abuso no se presenta inmediatamente para reportar

un asalto. Para aquellos que han sufrido asalto o abuso

sexual, la negación puede ser un poderoso mecanismo

de defensa, que les permita hacer frente al trauma y sus

secuelas. A menudo, un abusador es alguien que la víctima conoce

y en la que confía, lo que hace aún más difícil entender por qué el

abuso está sucediendo, y más difícil de presentar y pedir ayuda y

protección. Para obtener una copia del artículo de VIRTUS © “The

Many Faces of Denial, Part 2” (Las muchas caras de la negación,

parte 2), envíe un correo electrónico a bmelendez@la-

archdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7508.
