Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time September 20, 2015

“The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace

for those who cultivate peace.”

— James 3:18

Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Have you ever been around somebody so self ab-sorbed that they’ll say the most inappropriate or unimportant things at the worst times? Think of a spouse who pours out her heart or shares some very intimate detail or life changing experience to her husband only to hear, “You know, I’m go-ing to get some ice cream.” Or when someone is grieving terribly over the loss of a loved one and the person next to them at work asks, “Yeah, but did you watch the Charger game last Sunday?” I think you get the idea. This is where we find the disciples of Jesus. The gos-pel reading tells us, “He was teaching his disciples and telling them, ‘“The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.”” But they did not understand the saying, and they were afraid to question him.” After hearing this profound and painful prophecy what was their response? Did they try to comfort Jesus, support him, ask what they could do to help him, or pray to the Father? Nope. They basically said, “Whatever. Oh, and by the way, did you know that I ought to be leading this lot? I, after all, am the greatest among this bunch.” The disciples were too self-absorbed to listen to the voice of the Lord and ponder the meaning of his words, let alone allow his words to change their lives. I wonder how often do we do this with the Lord? Do we eagerly search his teachings and allow them to transform us or do we simply avoid growing in holiness and tell ourselves we don’t need to change? Quite the opposite of what a true disciple does. To help with your growth as disciples here’s the spiritual game-plan from the Daily Roman Missal: Daily Get up at a fixed time, as early as possible. Eight hours of

sleep should be enough. More than this or less than six hours of sleep is usually not healthy.

Offer your day to God through the intercession of our Lady. Work with order and intensity during the day as a way of serv-

ing God. Set goals and establish priorities in order to de-velop a practical schedule. Sanctifying ordinary work is the goal of our life.

Try to attend Mass, receiving Holy Communion, as often as possible. This is the best sacrifice we can offer to God. Pre-pare yourself for the Mass by spending some time in prayer.

Spend some time in mental prayer before the Blessed Sacra-ment (15 minutes, if possible).

Pray the Angelus at 6:00am, noon, and 6:00pm. (During Easter time, we say the Regina Caeli instead.)

Pray the Rosary, if possible, with your family, offering each decade for a specific intention.

Do some other spiritual reading. Start with the New Testa-ment or some well known spiritual book. Ten to fifteen min-utes is sufficient.

Make a short examination of conscience at the end of the day

before going to bed. Two or three minutes is enough. Follow these steps: Humble yourself in the presence of God. Tell him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean." Ask for light to acknowledge your defects and virtues and to see the dangers and opportunities of the day. Ask for repentance, amendment, and encouragement.

Weekly Center all activities around the holy Mass on Sunday, the

Lord's day. It is also a family day for rest and spiritual growth.

If you do not receive holy Communion every day, receive at least on Sundays and holy days of obligation.

Saturday is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Honor her and say some special prayer, such as the Hail Holy Queen.

Monthly Go to Confession at least once a month. It is the sacrament of

joy. Pope John Paul II says: "God is always the one who is principally offended by sin-'l have sinned against You' -and God alone can forgive. He does so through the ministry of the priest in the sacrament of Penance, which is the ordinary way of obtaining forgiveness and remission of mortal sins. Every mortal sin must always be stated with its determining circumstances in an individual confession."

Seek and follow the spiritual guidance of a wise, prudent, and knowledgeable priest.

Spend a few hours in recollection, best done before the Blessed Sacrament. Consider how you are directing your life toward God.

Yearly Spend two three days each year in silence, speaking with God

only. A few days of retreat are necessary for the soul in the same way that the body needs a vacation. It is a yearly op-portunity for conversion.

Always Stay in the presence of God: be aware that he is always close

to you. Try to please him in everything as a child tries to please his/her parents.

Thank God for the graces that he constantly gives you. Do everything for the love of God: this is purity of intention.

Always purify your intention. Make acts of contri-tion and atonement for your sins and sins of others.

Try to live as you would like to die. We shall die as we have lived.

MASS INTENTIONS

+Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for OUR needs. We pray for them in THEIR needs. We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of your own priesthood. You have consecrated them, set them aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive, and to feed us with Your Body and Blood. Yet we know, too, that they are one with us and share our human weaknesses. We know too that they are tempted to sin and discour-agement as are we, needing to be ministered to, as do we, to be consoled and forgiven, as do we. Indeed, we thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they under-stand us as we understand them, suffer with us and rejoice with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our lives, our faith. We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your chosen ones on the way to Emmaus: Your presence in their hearts, Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits. And let them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic bread. We pray to You, O Lord, through Mary the mother of all priests, for Your priests and for ours. Amen.

Page Five Vigésimo Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 20 de Septiembre de 2015

¿Ha estado alguna vez con alguien tan absorbido en si mismo que dicen las cosas más inadecuadas o sin importancia en los peores momentos? Piensen en un cónyuge que derrama su corazón o comparte algunos detalles muy íntimos o cambios de vida experiencia con su marido, sólo para escuchar, "Sabes, voy a comprar un helado." o cuando alguien está su-friendo terriblemente por la pérdida de un ser querido y la persona junto a ellos en el trabajo le pregunta, "Sí, pero ¿viste el juego de las Cargadores el domingo pasado?" creo que ya tienen una idea. Es allí donde encontramos los discípulos de Jesús. La lectura del Evangelio nos dice, "estaba instruyendo a sus discípulos y les dijo, "El Hijo del hombre va a ser entregado en manos de los hombres; le darán muerte, y tres días después de muerto, el Hijo del Hombre resucitará." Pero ellos no en-tendían aquellas palabras y tenían miedo de pedir explicacio-nes." Después de oír esta profunda y dolorosa profecía cual fue su respuesta? Trataron de consolar a Jesús, de apoyarlo, le preguntaron lo que podían hacer para ayudarlo, o le oraron al Padre? Pues no. Básicamente dijeron, "Lo que sea. Ah, y por cierto, ¿sabían que yo debería estar a la vanguardia este grupo? YO, después de todo, soy el mejor de este grupo." Los discípulos estaban demasiado absortos en sí mis-mos para escuchar la voz del Señor y reflexionar sobre el sig-nificado de sus palabras, y mucho menos permitir que sus palabras cambiaran sus vidas. Me pregunto cuántas veces le hacemos esto al Señor? ¿Estamos buscando ansiosamente sus enseñanzas y permitimos que nos transformen o dejamos sim-plemente evitar un crecimiento en la santidad y nos decimos a nosotros mismos que no es necesario cambiar? Muy al contra-rio de lo que hace un verdadero discípulo. Para ayudarles en su crecimiento como discípulos aquí está un plan espiritual del Misal Diario Romano: Diario • levantarse a una hora fija, tan pronto como sea posible.

Ocho horas de sueño debería ser suficiente. Más de esto o menos de seis horas de sueño generalmente no es saluda-ble.

• Ofrecer el día a Dios por intercesión de la Virgen. • Trabajar con orden e intensidad durante el día como una

forma de servir a Dios. Establecer los objetivos y estable-cer prioridades en orden para desarrollar un programa práctico. Santificar el trabajo ordinario es la meta de nuestra vida.

• Tratar de asistir a misa y recibir la sagrada Comunión, tan-to como sea posible. Este es el mejor sacrificio que pode-mos ofrecerle a Dios. Prepárese para la Misa pasando un poco de tiempo en la oración.

• Pasar algún tiempo en oración mental ante el Santísimo Sacramento (15 minutos, si es posible).

• Oren la oración mariana del Ángelus a las 6:00am, al me-diodía, y alas 6:00pm (En el periodo de Semana Santa, te-nemos que decir el Regina Caeli en su lugar.)

• Rezar el Rosario, si es posible, con su familia, ofreciendo

cada década a un propósito específico. • Lean alguna otra lectura espiritual. Empiecen con el Nuevo

Testamento o algún libro espiritual conocido. De diez a quince minutos es suficiente.

• Hagan un breve examen de conciencia al final del día antes de ir a la cama. Dos o tres minutos es suficiente. Siga estos pasos: Sea humilde en la presencia de Dios. Dígale: "Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme." Pida que lo ilumine para reconocer su defectos y virtudes y para ver los peli-gros y las oportunidades del día. Pida por el arrepentimien-to, la enmienda, y el aliento.

Semanal • Centre todas las actividades en torno a la santa Misa el do-

mingo, día del Señor. Es también día en familia para el descanso y el crecimiento espiritual.

• Si no recibir la santa Comunión diariamente, recíbala por lo menos los domingos y días Santos de obligación.

• El sábado tradicionalmente es dedicado a la Virgen María. Honórenla y digan alguna oración especial, como el Ave Reina Santa.

Mensual • Ir a confesarse por lo menos una vez al mes. Es el sacramen-

to de la alegría. El Papa Juan Pablo II dijo: "Dios es siem-pre el principal ofendido por el pecado 'Yo he pecado con-tra ti' -y sólo Dios puede perdonar. Lo hace a través del ministerio del sacerdote en el sacramento de la Penitencia, que es el camino ordinario para obtener el perdón y la re-misión de los pecados mortales. Cada uno de los pecados mortales deben indicarse siempre con sus circunstancias determinantes en una confesión individual."

• Buscar y seguir la guía espiritual de un sacerdote sabio, pru-dente y conocedor.

• Pasar unas horas de recogimiento, que es mejor hacerlo ante el Santísimo Sacramento. Consideren cómo están orientando su vida hacia Dios.

Anual • Pasar dos o tres días cada año en silencio, hablando con

Dios. Algunos días de retiro son necesarios para el alma de la misma manera que el cuerpo necesita de unas vacacio-nes. Es una oportunidad anual para la conversión.

Siempre • Permanecer en la presencia de Dios: ser conscientes de que

él está siempre cerca de nosotros. Tratar de agradarle en todo como un niño trata de complacer a sus padres.

• Agradecer a Dios por las bendiciones que constantemente nos da.

• Hacer todo por el amor de Dios: esta es la pureza de la in-tención. Siempre purifiquen sus intenciones. Realicen ac-tos de contrición y expiación de los pecados y los pecados de los demás.

• Tratar de vivir como le gustaría morir. Moriremos como hemos vivido.
