Prayer for Our Enemies O God of all mankind, whose Son commands us to love those who hate us, hear our prayers for our enemies. Deliver them and us from deeds beneath the dignity of man whom you have redeemed. Turn us from our evil ways by removing hatred, cruelty, and revenge from our hearts. Let others see Christ in us, and grant that we reflect his love in every thought, word, and action. Amen.

Sixteen-year-old Bobby had just passed his driver's test. He couldn't wait to tell his father and right away began pressuring his father for use of the family car. "I'll make a deal with you," his father said to him. "When you bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study the Bible, and get your hair cut, we'll talk about the car." Bobby hesitated but then agreed, "It's a deal." A month later Bobby was once again pressuring his father for the use of the car. "I'm proud of you," said his father. "You've brought your grade average up to a B, and I've observed you reading the Bible, but I'm disappointed that you haven't had your hair cut." "You know, Dad," Bobby reasoned. "I've been thinking about that. In reading the Bible, I've discovered that Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, and Jesus probably did too." The father thought for a moment. "You've got a point, son," he said. "Did you also notice that they walked everywhere they went?" OH, BROTHER!

Statement on Pope Francis’ Appointment of New Auxiliary Bishop to Serve the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Most Reverend José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels April 5, 2018 Greetings, my friends, and welcome! This is a great day of joy for the family of God here in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. In this beautiful Easter season, our Holy Father Pope Francis has blessed us today by appointing a new Auxiliary Bishop to serve our people. I am honored to introduce you this morning to Bishop-elect Marc Trudeau. As you will discover, our new auxiliary bishop has a great personal story. I would just like to share with you my own privilege of knowing him and working with him for these past eight years. Our Bishop-elect is a very fine priest. He is a man of prayer and he is a man of service. I know he is going to be, as Pope Francis likes to say, “a shepherd who knows the smell of his sheep.” As a priest, our Bishop-elect has always had a heart for his people. He is close to them in their joys and sorrows and in the challenges they face in their everyday lives. So, I know that he is going to be a great bishop.

Just one thing I want to point out. Being a bishop in the Catholic Church is not like any ordinary “job.” That is why this is such a special day of joy for us. We believe that Jesus Christ himself chooses every bishop to carry on the mission that he entrusted to his Apostles and his Church. For us, every bishop is a living sign of Jesus — who loves us, who is alive with us, and who is walking with us on the journey of our lives. The bishop has the responsibility of helping us to know Jesus and to know his love and his plan for our lives. The bishop is called to pray for God’s people, to teach them, and to lead them — always by the example of his own love and self-sacrifice. So, this is the beautiful mission that Pope Francis has entrusted to Bishop-elect Trudeau! And this is the beautiful gift that God is giving all of us today — in giving us a new bishop for the family of God here in Los Angeles. I will be privileged to ordain our Bishop-elect here at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels on June 7 at 2 p.m. And I hope you will all be able to join us! So again, I personally want to express my thanks today to our Holy Father Pope Francis and to his Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Christophe Pierre. It is a wonderful day for all of us, and especially for Bishop-elect Trudeau and his family. I thank you all for being with us to share in our joy and gratitude. May God bless you and your families! =========================================

========================================= SCHOOL STUDENT NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privi-leges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available at the school. The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, col-or, disability, sex or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies, admissions poli-cies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and oth-er school-administered programs, although certain athlet-ic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single sex schools. While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission and continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student’s emotional, academic and physi-cal abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student’s needs.

Saint John Paul II
