PHYSICIANS ASSISTED SUICIDE— DEATH WITH DIGNITY— THE RIGHT TO DIE - WHAT IS SB 128? - MORE OF THE SAME
We have seen it under many titles but the purpose remains the same—to end life by artificial means. There is an at-tempt to get the voters of California to buy into the idea that this is the right thing to do. Catholics believe in the right
to life for everyone, from conception to natural death.
Look up the information yourself at: www.ahardpill.org - or google iSB128 and read it yourself. Don’t have access to a computer you can call the diocese at: (213)637-7236
Then call your representative and urge a no vote on SB 128.
LOS MÉDICOS SUICIDIO ASISTIDO- MUERTE CON DIGNIDAD- EL DERECHO A MORIR- ¿QUÉ ES SB 128? -MÁS DE LO MISMO
Lo hemos visto en muchos títulos, pero el objetivo sigue siendo el mismo, al final su vida por medios artificiales. Hay un intento de que los votantes de California para comprar en la idea de que esto es lo correcto a hacer. Los católicos creen en el derecho a la vida para todos, desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural. Buscar la información en: www.ahardpill.org - o iSB128 de google y léelo. No tienen acceso a una computadora en que puede llamar a la diócesis: (213) 637-7236 Luego llame a su representante e instan a votar o SB 128.

نNun ( ), ن the 14th letter of the Arabic alphabet (the equivalent of letter N in our Roman alphabet), is the first letter of the word Nasara ) نصارى : Nazarenes ,(the way Muslims have called Christians since the beginning of their invasion of the Christian world in the 7th century -- Christians under Muslim rule never called themselves this, since the intent of Muslims was to portray Christians as a contemptible and disobedient sect.
Nun. The yoke of my iniquities hath watched: they are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck: my strength is weakened:
It is the same name of the equivalent letter )נ ( in the Hebrew alphabet (also a Semitic language), and it reminds us of the words of Jeremiah, also crying for an exile of his people sent to Mesopotamia:
In their genocidal physical elimination of Christians from the Mesopotamian city of Mosul, Muslim terrorists marked each Christian-owned institution and building with this letter, for the extermination of holdouts and expropriation of their belongings:
And Then There Were Nun

They mean it as a mark of shame, we must then wear it as a mark of hope: Yes, we are in the army of the *Resurrected Nazarene, the Master and Lord of the Universe, the Man who is God Almighty, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. You may kill our brethren and expel them, but we Christians will never go away.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Los cristianos somos ¡testigos de Cristo resucitado! Testimoniamos todo lo relacionado con Jesús de Nazaret quien murió en una cruz, fue sepultado y resucitó al tercer día. Debemos ser personas que cantan y gritan ¡Resucitó, Aleluya! Tan importante es la resurrección de Cristo que, mientras tenemos cuarenta días de Cuaresma hay cincuenta días de Pascua en el calendario cristiano. Durante esta época, domingo tras domingo mediante la proclamación del Evangelio se nos transmiten escenas de Cristo, quien cada ocho días se aparecía a sus discípulos confirmando cada Domingo que en verdad había resucitado, instruyéndolos para que pudieran ser verdaderos testigos de su resurrección. Y ¿tú? ¿Cuán buen testigo eres? Un buen testigo da testimonio de lo que ha visto, escuchado y experimentado. Para ser testigo de Cristo hay que verlo, escucharlo y experimentarlo. La Iglesia nos da la oportunidad de verlo, escucharlo y experimentarlo diariamente, en especial durante el domingo. Esto es posible sólo si durante la semana vives con el corazón abierto. Abierto para ver, escuchar y experimentar a Jesús en tu hogar, en tu trabajo, entre tus parientes y amistades. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SABOREA LA EXPERIENCIA Una de las cosas maravillosas sobre las vacaciones es que después de nuestro regreso nos pasamos dos o tres sema-nas saboreando la experiencia, compartiendo las fotos y recuerdos con nuestra familia y amistades. Esta clase de re-flexión nos vincula nuevamente a la experiencia original y nos hacer volver a vivir el descanso y las maravillas que la vacación nos proporcionó. Hoy, el Tercer Domingo de Pascua, la Iglesia nos da la bendición de unos recordatorios de lo que celebramos hace dos domingos. Las tres lecturas son reflexiones del significado de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo. Uno de los hilos que unen a estas reflexiones es que el propósito del sufrimiento, la muerte y la resurrección del Señor fue para salvarnos y perdonar nuestros pecados. Tenemos cincuenta días para contemplar esta realidad –cincuenta días para saborear la experiencia de la muerte y resurrección de Cristo por nosotros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAVORING THE EXPERIENCE One of the wonderful things about vacations is the time we spend two or three weeks afterward savoring the experi-ence, sharing vacation photos and memories with our family and friends. This kind of reflection puts us back in touch with the original experience and reminds us of the relaxation and wonder the vacation afforded us. Today, on the Third Sunday of Easter, the Church blesses us with reminders of what we celebrated two Sundays ago. All three readings are reflections on the meaning of the death and resurrection of Christ. One of the threads running through these reflections is that the purpose of the Lord’s suffering, death, and resurrection was to save us, to forgive our sins. We are given fifty days to ponder this reality—fifty days to savor the experience of Christ’s dying and rising for us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
