Mujer, ¡qué grande es tu fe! -MATEO 15: 21-28

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time| 20o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 2

¡Úsalo o piérdelo! A menudo decimos que "la excesiva familiaridad engendra desprecio". Con esto queremos decir que tendemos a perder el respeto por las cosas con las que estamos demasiado familiarizados. Muchos de

nosotros tomamos por descontado personas o cosas que están fácilmente disponibles para nosotros. Por ejemplo, perdemos fácilmente el respeto por las personas con las que hemos vivido durante mucho tiempo. Muchos tienden a despreciar los trabajos que han hecho durante mucho tiempo. Pero el desprecio por lo demasiado familiar también ocurre mucho en la religión. Mucha gente se cansa o se aburre de sus religiones de cuna. Esto fue definitivamente cierto para un buen número de israelitas. Muchos de ellos perdieron su fervor con Dios y las prácticas del judaísmo, convirtiéndose en infieles y pecadores. Deshonraron, persiguieron y mataron a varios profetas enviados a ellos. Jesús experimentó un trato similar por parte de los fariseos, los escribas y la gente de su pueblo. "Un profeta no carece de honor excepto en su propio pueblo y en su propia casa", dijo (Mt 13:57). Lamentó esta tendencia entre su pueblo: "Oh Jerusalén, Jerusalén, tú que matas a los profetas y apedreas a los que te envían, cuántas veces he deseado reunir a tus hijos, como la gall ina reúne a sus pollitos debajo de las alas, y no has querido" (Mt 23, 37). Desgraciadamente, este es un problema humano universal. Muchos católicos de cuna también se han vuelto despectivos con la Iglesia. Se han vuelto fríos en su fe, cansados de los santos rituales de la Iglesia e indiferentes a Dios. Ir a la Iglesia es literalmente una carga para muchos. En consecuencia, la muerte espiritual se ha convertido en algo común entre los católicos y los cristianos en general. Sin embargo, tanto en el judaísmo como en el catolicismo, varios forasteros han mostrado una gran fe en Dios y un gran aprecio por estas religiones. En varias ocasiones, Jesús alabó la fe de los gentiles. Llamó a "una mujer cananea" una mujer de "gran fe" (Mt 15:28). Al centurión romano dijo: "De cierto os digo que no he hallado en Israel nadie con una fe tan grande" (Mt 8, 10). Como todo en la vida, si no alimentamos nuestra fe, muere. Si no usamos nuestra fe, la perderemos -se nos quitará- (Mt 25, 24-30). Lo mismo ocurre con cada relación, si no se alimenta, morirá. No basta con venir a misa o confesarse de vez en cuando. Debemos comprometernos en el crecimiento de nuestra fe. Debemos comprometernos con la oración, el ayuno y la caridad. Debemos comprometernos a aprender más sobre nuestra fe y la evangelización. Soplar caliente y frío es inaceptable para Dios (Apocalipsis 3:16). El aburrimiento es equivalente a la muerte espiritual. Pídele a Dios regularmente el don del Espíritu Santo que renovará constantemente tu fe y encenderá en ti el fuego del amor divino. ¡Bendiciones!

From the desk of Fr. Al Ezeonyeka Desde el escritorio de P. Al Ezeonyeka

Use it or lose it! We often say that “over familiarity breeds contempt.”, By that we mean that we tend to lose respect for things we are too familiar with. Many of us take for granted people or things that are easily available to us. For example, we easily lose respect for people with whom we have lived for a long time. Many tend to be contemptuous of jobs they’ve done for a long time. But contempt for the over-familiar also happens a lot in religion. Many people grow tired of or bored with their cradle religions. This was definitely true for a good number of Israelites. Many of them lost their fervor with God and the practices of Judaism, becoming unfaithful and sinful. They dishonored, persecuted and killed several prophets sent to them. Jesus experienced similar treatment from the pharisees, the scribes and the people of his village. “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town and in his own home”, he said (Mt 13:57). He lamented this tendency among his people: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing” (Mt 23:37). Unfortunately, this is a universal human problem. A lot of cradle Catholics have become contemptuous of the Church as well. They have grown cold in their faith, tired of the holy rituals of the Church and indifferent to God. Going to church is literally a drag for many. Consequently, spiritual death has become commonplace among Catholics and Christians in general. However, both in Judaism and Catholicism, several outsiders have shown great faith in God and a great appreciation of these religions. At various occasions, Jesus praised the faith of Gentiles. He called ‘a Canaanite woman’ a woman of “great faith” (Mt 15:28). To the Roman centurion he said, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith” (Mt 8:10). Like everything else in life, if we don’t nourish our faith, it dies. If we don’t use our faith, we will lose it – it will be taken away from us (Mt 25:24-30). The same is true with every relationship, if it is not nourished it will die. It’s not enough to come to Mass or go to Confession every once in a while. We must be committed in growing our faith. We must be committed to prayer, fasting and charity. We must be committed to learning more about our faith and evangelization. Blowing hot and cold is unacceptable to God (Rev 3:16). Boredom is tantamount to spiritual death. Ask God regularly for the gift of the Holy Spirit who will constantly renew your faith and enkindle in you the fire of the divine love. Blessings!

August 16, 2019 / 16 de Agosto del 2020 3

I feel like time is passing by so strangely lately. I can’t believe we are already in mid-August and we are rapidly approaching the start of our programs. It feels like it takes forever for the week to pass but when it does it feels like you achieved a ton and nothing the same time. It feels like changes are constantly happening but at the same time it feels like we are not making any progress. But when it is all said and done the one thing that I find constant during these times is our faith. Our faith has been manifested in so many forms lately for example, online, streaming Masses, then being in the church, to now having outdoor services, but yet, our faith is still the same no matter where we are practicing it. What is difficult right now is keeping our faith strong, especially when it feels like everything is against us. Our faith is not just in our church but it is in our homes, everywhere we go, because it is in each one of us. It is our job to strengthen our faith and to continue to find ways to do so. Faith is not something that is static but something that you grow in and continuously work on. Now more than ever we need to work harder at keeping a strong faith. Be strong, be faithful, and know that we are here praying for all of you during this difficult time in our world. Upcoming: Confirmation Registrations due at the end of August

Siento que el tiempo está pasando tan extrañamente últimamente. No puedo creer que ya estemos a mediados de agosto y nos acerquemos rápidamente al inicio de nuestros programas. Siento que la semana tarda una eternidad en pasar, pero cuando pasa parece que se ha logrado una tonelada y nada al mismo tiempo. Se siente como si los cambios estuvieran ocurriendo constantemente pero al mismo tiempo se siente como si no estuviéramos haciendo ningún progreso. Pero cuando todo está dicho y hecho, lo único que encuentro constante durante estos tiempos es nuestra fe. Nuestra fe se ha manifestado de muchas formas últimamente, por ejemplo, en la Internet, en las misas en vivo, luego en la iglesia, y ahora en los servicios al aire libre, pero aún así, nuestra fe sigue siendo la misma sin importar dónde la practiquemos. Lo que es difícil en este momento es mantener nuestra fe fuerte, especialmente cuando se siente que todo está en contra nuestra. Nuestra fe no sólo está en nuestra iglesia, sino que está en nuestros hogares, dondequiera que vayamos, porque está en cada uno de nosotros. Es nuestro trabajo fortalecer nuestra fe y continuar encontrando formas de hacerlo. La fe no es algo estático, sino algo en lo que creces y en lo que trabajas continuamente. Ahora más que nunca tenemos que trabajar más duro para mantener una fe fuerte. Sean fuertes, sean fieles, y sepan que estamos aquí rezando por todos ustedes durante este difícil momento en nuestro mundo. Próximamente: Las inscripciones de confirmación deben hacerse a finales de agosto

Online Bible Study

The Gospel of St. Matthew – Part 2 (Chap 17-28) Beginning September 2nd Wednesday Evenings

7:00 – 9:00 PM

Having a Mary Heart… in a Martha World? You want to be everything for everybody? Every day is crammed full of things-to-do. Responsibilities, demands, and it is hard to find time for the things that are most important.

Mary sat at Jesus’ feet listening to what He said….What you long for…

What you need…Isn’t found in doing more…It’s found by sitting at His feet…

Find what you were made for – intimacy with God in the busyness of life.

Restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 virus have left us unable to meet face to face, as we had in the past, but with change, new doors open. Our mission to become disciples and evangelize will continue as we dive into the journey of the Gospel of St. Matthew, the first book of the New Testament. This study is open to anyone who “is” or “is not” familiar with the Bible. This study will help you open your eyes and ears to the Lord and develop an intimate relationship with Jesus. We meet via Zoom on Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM, and anyone can join in at any time. Questions regarding registration? Call or text Gloria Garcia (805) 358-6299 or George Williams (805) 469-7811 or send an email to alpha@sacredheartventura.org

August 16, 2019 / 16 de Agosto del 2020 7 WHY PRAY? The “foreigners” as Isaiah calls them, the “Gentiles” as Paul calls them, or the “Canaanites” as Matthew calls them are called to worship the one true God in prayer. As we listen to today’s readings, perhaps we are tempted to ask: Why pray? The question is rhetorical; it is tanta-mount to asking why should friends talk to one another or people in love kiss one another. Prayer is a way of relat-ing to God, a way of talking to God. The apostles had the opportunity to talk to Jesus in the flesh. We have the op-portunity to talk to Jesus Christ in prayer. Our relation-ship with him must be enthusiastic; it cannot be faint-hearted. John Donne, a fifteenth-century poet, knew what the qualities of good prayer were. Donne asks God to treat him differently from most Christians. The poet does not want God to merely “knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend,” but also to “break, blow, burn, and make me new” (Holy Sonnets, XIV). It takes a dynamic faith on our part to come to God in prayer. As Jesus once said, “Knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). It may take pounding the door down, but if we are as persistent as the woman in today’s Gospel, the results will follow. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

¿POR QUÉ REZAR? Los “extranjeros” que Isaías menciona, los “gentiles” de que habla Pablo, o los “cananeos” que cita Mateo son llamados a adorar en oración al verdadero Dios. Al escu-char las lecturas de hoy, tal vez nos sintamos tentados a preguntarnos: ¿Por qué rezar? Es una pregunta retórica; se equipara a preguntar por qué han de hablarse los amigos o los enamorados besarse. Rezar es una manera de relacio-narnos con Dios, una manera de hablarle. Los apóstoles tuvieron la oportunidad de conversar en persona con Jesús encarnado. Nosotros tenemos la oportunidad de hablar con Dios en la oración. Nuestra relación con él debe ser entu-siasta; no puede ser pusilánime. John Donne, un poeta y sacerdote inglés del siglo XV, supo cuáles eran la cualida-des de una buena oración. Donne le pide a Dios que lo trate de manera diferente que a la mayoría de los cristianos. El poeta no quiere que Dios meramente “golpee, aliente, brille y repare”, sino que también “rompa, sople, queme y me ha-ga nuevo” (Holy Sonnets, XIV). Se requiere una fe dinámica de nuestra parte para venir a Dios en oración. Como dijo Jesús una vez: “Toca a la puerta y se te abrirá” (Mateo 7:7). Tal vez requiera golpear la puerta hasta tumbarla, pero si perseveramos al igual que la mujer del Evangelio de hoy, veremos los resultados. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

DID YOU KNOW? Back to school preparations during

a pandemic

In August, families are usually preparing to start a new school year, with all the excitement and anxiety that brings. But this year, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, no one knows what lies ahead for school children. Talk to your children about how they’re feeling and what they’re worried about. Many people, including

young children, are struggling with anxiety and depression during this pandemic, so be sure to check in frequently, and provide a safe space where children can talk about their concerns. For more information, visit https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
