Twenty First Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3

August 27th, 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time:

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I am now coming upon two months since I have arrived at Saint Joseph. The summer months are quickly com-ing to an end, summer vacations are almost over and most students have returned to school. Before you know it every family will have a full calendar and it will be as if there is no time for anything, not even faith based events or church functions. Just like we schedule everything else in our lives we should also carve out time to activities of faith. Every parish that I have been assigned to I have immersed myself into the spirituality of the patron saint of the parish. 1994-1998 while at All Souls Parish I focused on prayer for the Souls in Purgatory and the Souls of the living. 1998-2001 while at Saint Mary Magdalen I promoted the spirituality of being witnesses of the resurrection as was Mary Magdalen. 2002-2003 while at Holy Family I focused on families sanctifying their life and being the Domes-tic Church while challenging fathers, mothers, and children to truly live their roles in imitation of Christ. 2003-2017 while at Guardian Angel I promoted a devotion to our Guardian Angels and their role in our lives. Now that I am at Saint Joseph Parish, I already began spreading devotion to Saint Joseph and modeling life after him. Last week I began with the faculty of Saint Joseph School. The Gospel gives us very little information on Saint Joseph. As the husband of the Blessed Virgen Mary and the foster father of Jesus Jo-seph is introduced to us as being a “Just” man. In bib-lical vocabulary to be “Just” is to share in some way the holiness of God. In other words, a just person lives in close relationship with God and strives to dis-cern God’s will for them in their life. So, for us, pa-rishioners of Saint Joseph Parish, do we strive to imi-tate the life of our patron saint? To share in God’s holi-ness you must be in relationship with Him through daily prayer. Open your bible, pray together before meals, pray in the morning, say a brief prayer during your break at work, pray with your spouse, pray with your children, pray with your parents. Imitate Saint Joseph by learning God’s will for you. For us as Catholics, to be in relationship with God is to be in re-lationship with His Church, that is to say, live a Sacra-mental Life. More on this next week. Remember to make room for Jesus.

Fr. Steven Guitron

Agosto 27, Vigésimo Primer Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario:

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas

Hace dos meses que he llegado a San José. Los meses de verano están llegando rápidamente a su fin, y las vacaciones ya terminan la mayoria de los estudiantes han regresado a la escuela. Antes de que usted se de cuenta cada familia tendrá un calendario completo y sera como si no hay tiempo para nada, ni siquiera para proyectos de fe o eventos de la de la iglesia. Al igual que programamos todo lo demás en nuestra vida debemos también tomar tiempo para actividades de la fe. Cada parroquia que se me ha asignado a mi me he sumergido en la espiritualidad del santo patrono de la parroquia. 1994-1998 mientras estube en la parroquia de Las Animas me enfoque en oraciónes para las animas santas y las almas de los penitentes. 1998-2001 mientras que estuve en la Iglesia Santa María Magdalena promovi la espiritualidad de ser testigo de la resurrección como lo fue María Magdalena. 2002-2003 en la parroquia La Sagrada Familia, me enfoque en que las familias santifiquen sus vidas para que sea una Iglesia domestica mientras desafiaba padres, las madres y los niños a vivir realmente sus roles en la imitación de Cristo. 2003-2017 mientras estaba en la par-roquia Angel de la Guarda promovi devoción al Angel de la Guarda y su papel en nuestras vidas. Ahora que estoy en la Parroquia San Jose, yo ya empese a difundir la devoción a San José y modelar la vida después de él. La semana pasada he comenzado con la facultad de la escuela de San José. El Evangelio nos da muy poca infor-mación sobre San José. como el esposo de la santísima Virgen María y padre adoptivo de Jesús, José se presenta a nosotros como un hombre "justo". En el vocabulario bíblico para ser "justo" es compartir, en cierto modo, la santidad de Dios. En otras palabras, una persona justa vive en estrecha relación con Dios, y se esfuerza en discernir la voluntad de Dios en su vida. Así, para nosotros, los feligreses de la parroquia de San José, ¿nos esforzamos para imitar la vida de nuestro santo patrono ? Para compartir en la santidad de Dios debemos estar en relación con él a través de la oración diaria. Abra su Biblia, orar juntos antes de las comidas, orar por la mañana, digamos una breve oración durante su descanso en el trabajo, orar con su cónyuge, rezar con tus hijos, rezar con tus padres. Imitar a San José para conocer la voluntad de Dios para usted. Para nosotros, como católi-cos, el estar en relación con Dios es estar en relación con la Iglesia, es decir, vivir una vida sacramental. Más sobre esto la próxima semana. Recuerde dejar espacio a Jesús.

Bullying and back to school

Unfortunately, conflict and even bullying seem to be a widespread experience our

country’s schools. Children may fall victim to, or perpetuate, intimidation and teasing, sometimes with lasting consequences to themselves and/or others. As children head back to school, it is important to talk to them about how they treat others and how to handle conflict or bullying in their classrooms and on the playgrounds. Get involved in your child’s school and ask about plans or programs for bullying prevention. To request a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Understanding School Violence, Part 2” email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227. For upcoming Virtus Training: http://virtusonline.org/virtus/reg_list.cfm?theme=0

Acoso y regreso a la escuela

Desafortunadamente, el conflicto e incluso el acoso escolar parecen ser una experiencia generalizada en las escuelas de nuestro país. Los niños pueden ser víctimas de, o perpetuar, intimidación y burlas, a veces con consecuencias duraderas para sí mismos y/o para otros. A medida que los niños vuelven a la escuela, es importante hablar con ellos sobre cómo tratan a los demás y cómo manejar el conflicto o el acoso escolar en sus aulas y en los patios de recreo. Involúcrese en la escuela de su hijo y pregunte acerca de los planes o programas de prevención del acoso escolar. Para solicitar una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Understanding School Violence, Part 2” (Entendiendo la violencia escolar, Parte 2) escriba a bmelendez@la-archdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7508.
