Page 3 – September 6, 2015

Where did the Bible come from?

Respect Life

“In many places, the quality of life is related primarily to economic means, to “well-being”, to the beauty and enjoyment of the physical, forgetting other more profound dimensions of existence — interpersonal, spiritual and religious. In fact, in the light of faith and right reason, human life is always sacred and always “of quality”. There is no human life that is more sacred than another – every human life is sacred – just as there is no human life qualitatively more significant than another, only by virtue of resources, rights, great social and economic opportunities. The dominant thinking sometimes suggests a “false compassion”, that which believes that it is: helpful to women to promote abortion; an act of dignity to obtain euthanasia; a scientific breakthrough to “produce” a child and to consider it to be a right rather than a gift to welcome; or to use human lives as guinea pigs presumably to save others.”

— Pope Francis to the Association of Italian Doctors,

November 14, 2014

This question has been adapted from the book, “Did Adam and Eve Have Belly Buttons?” by Matthew Pinto This is one of those fundamental questions that many never seem to ask. Yet the answer to it is crucial to our understanding of how God reveals Himself to His people. While the history of the Bible can get a bit complicated, the simple fact is that the Bible as we know it today was written and compiled over the span of nearly a thousand years. The books of the Old Testament were written mostly in Hebrew (with some Aramaic and Greek thrown in), while the New Testament was written entirely in Greek, the common language of the day. In a nutshell, God inspired certain men to write the books of the Bible we have today (see 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19-21; Catechism of the Catholic Church 105, 136). Without removing their freedom, God moved them to write what He wanted them to write. The primary author of the Bible, then, is God Himself. The human authors remained true authors as well, in that they used their own particular abilities and gifts to convey without error those truths that God wanted to reveal to us (see CCC 106). This is what is referred to as biblical inspiration. Thus, the Bible is truly the Word of God without ceasing to be the words of men (see CCC 105, 702).

An Autumn Message About Child Protection

Autumn means back to school for children and back to work for those who have been on vacation. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this season, let us all keep sight of the importance of keeping our chil-

dren and young people safe from danger.

Training requirements to safeguard children have been established in parishes throughout the Diocese of Stockton. These training requirements help ensure that all children and youth experience a safe envi-

ronment in all parish activities and events.

The Diocese of Stockton mandates that all people who work with children and youth in our parishes and schools must undergo child abuse prevention training through the guidelines established by the United

States Conference of Catholic Bishops. This training includes being fingerprinted and background checked and completing an on-line training course entitled Shield the Vulnerable. If you are planning on

helping or assisting in your child’s school, you are required to complete this training.

For training information, contact your local parish/school Safe Environment Coordinator.

For particular help and questions you may call: Linda Dillen, Manager of Benefits & Safe Environment for the Diocese of Stockton, at (209) 466-0636

Parish Stewardship — a way of life

By: Tammy Menezes

Richard Braun

How many times have you seen this face on the lectern, asking us to support some ministry effort? Did he make you laugh? Did he seem full of joy for our Lord? In most cases, the answer is … yes! Richard Braun uses his joy and public speaking ability to motivate others in our parish.

A Knights of Columbus Insurance Field Agent by day, he also serves as husband to Maria and proud father of Nicolas (Nico) and Giancarlos. He has answered God’s call of stewardship to serve as a Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Chair of our Parish Festival, Adult Choir Member, World Youth Day Chaperone, and more, along with being a good and devoted friend to many.

Most remarkable about Richard is that he always keeps his joyful focus on whatever he is doing. He serves with grace, faith and always with the attitude that what he has is God’s and his job is to be a steward of those gifts. Richard is a member of our new TMIY Core Team and invites you to join him in the inaugural breakfast and fellowship.:

Y también estamos llamados a unirnos a las cosas divertidas como el festival, pero estamos llamados a servir responsablemente en la variedad de ministerios parroquiales.

Algunos están llamados a ser catequistas, voluntarios en el festival, o a ayudar a distribuir comida a los necesitados dentro de nuestro ministerio de San Vicente de Paúl. Hay muchas otras maneras en que servir, y por lo tanto el domingo después del festival, se les pide a todos durante la misa a llenar la “Tarjeta de Renovación de la Co-Responsabilidad” para ¡hacer el compromiso a participar en la misión de nuestra iglesia!

Wednesday, Sept. 9 5:45 am Doors Open for Breakfast Parish Hall—That Man Is you!

Padre Hamilton Suarez La liturgia de hoy es un mensaje de

esperanza en Dios – salvador. En un momento de desconcierto general por las tribulaciones del destierro, el profeta Isaías en la primera lectura, exhorta al pueblo de Israel a buscar solo en Dios la salvación: “Mirad a vuestro Dios que os salvara”, parece como si el profeta viese ya la salvación presente; en realidad no la ve pero cree y está seguro de que Dios intervendrá en favor de su pueblo. Esta invitación del profeta nos recuerda que el hombre y la mujer de fe, viven sus realidades cotidianas e incluso las más difíciles siempre con mirada de esperanza y confianza en la providencia.

El evangelio presenta la actuación de esas promesas mesiánicas, anunciadas ya por el profeta Isaías. Curaciones milagrosas. Tales milagros atestiguan que las profecías no fueron palabras huecas y al mismo tiempo son signos de una obra de salvación más profunda que mira a renovar al hombre en lo más íntimo. Son signos del perdón del pecado, de la gracia, de la vida nueva comunicada por Cristo.

En particular la curación del sordo- mudo, narrada por el evangelio de hoy, ha sido tomada desde los primeros siglos de la Iglesia como símbolo del bautismo, en cuyo rito se repite el gesto de Jesús, el tocar los oídos y la boca. Librando al hombre del pecado, el bautismo suelta su oído para escuchar la Palabra de Dios y su lengua para confesar y alabar al Señor. Este hombre sordomudo, se convierte a su vez, en signo de aquel que se abre a la acogida del misterio de Jesús. Si la sordera, la mudez física y tantas otras enfermedades continúan afligiendo al género humano, el cristiano regenerado en Cristo, no es ya sordo espiritualmente, ni mudo, ni ciego o cojo: Su espíritu está abierto a la fe, capaz como es de conocer a Dios y de recorrer sus caminos.

La relación de la segunda lectura con las otras lecturas de este domingo, esta en

cuanto propone al cristiano una línea de conducta semejante a la de Dios, que en su obra de salvación no hace distinción de personas, y si alguna preferencia tiene es para los humildes, pobres y necesitados. Dice el apóstol Santiago: ¿Acaso no ha elegido Dios a los pobres del mundo para hacerlos ricos en la fe?. Imposible entonces hacer distinciones de trato entre ricos y pobres. La comunidad donde suceda esto no podría llamarse cristiana, pues no estaría basada en las enseñanzas de Cristo, sino inspirada en la mentalidad del mundo; y por desgracia no es difícil ser víctima de ese veneno. El apóstol Santiago nos pide a los cristianos que no contradigamos la fe que profesamos con un comportamiento incoherente.

Es bueno que recordemos hoy que la pobreza material es preciosa por cuanto dispone al hombre a la pobreza interior, a reconocer la propia insuficiencia, miseria y debilidad, y aponer solo en Dios la esperanza de la salvación. Esos son los pobres que el Señor quiere hacer “ricos en la fe, y herederos del Reino que prometió a los que le aman”.

La palabra de Dios que hemos escuchado hoy, nos brinda la ocasión de volver a descubrir la alegría de haber sido bautizados: El Bautismo, mucho más que una curación total, es un nuevo nacimiento que nos abre a una vida nueva.

Ser bautizado comporta un estilo de vida radicalmente renovado. El bautizado es una persona cuyos ojos se abren a la belleza de la creación, cuyos oídos se abren a la palabra de la misericordia y de la salvación, cuyos brazos se abren para abrazar a todo hombre y a toda mujer, sin discriminaciones de ningún tipo, puesto que ha reconocido en Dios al creador y al salvador de todos.

Todo lo has hecho bien, Señor Jesús, condúcenos hacia Ti, y ayúdanos a conducir a otros hacia la curación espiritual.

Un Mensaje de Otoño Sobre Protección Infantil

El otoño significa el regreso a la escuela para los niños y el regreso al trabajo para aquellos que han estado de vacaciones. En medio de todo el ajetreo de esta época, mantengamos en cuenta la importancia de mantener

seguros y fuera de peligro a nuestros niños y jóvenes. Se han establecido requisitos de capacitación para proteger a los niños en parroquias de la Diócesis de Stockton.

Estos requisitos de capacitación ayudan a garantizar que todos los niños y los jóvenes experimentan un ambiente seguro en todas las actividades y eventos parroquiales.

La Diócesis de Stockton exige que todas las personas que trabajan con niños y jóvenes en nuestras escuelas y parroquias deberán someterse a entrenamiento de prevención de abuso infantil a través de las normas estableci-

das por la Conferencia Católica de los Obispos de los Estados Unidos. Esta capacitación incluye que le tomen huellas, revisen sus antecedentes y complete un curso de capacitación por internet titulado: Shield the Vulnera-

ble (Proteger al Vulnerable). Si piensa ayudar o asistir en la escuela de su hijo, es obligatorio completar este entrenamiento.

Para más información sobre este entrenamiento, por favor comuníquese con el/la coordinador /a de Ambiente Seguro en su parroquia / escuela local.

Para ayuda y preguntas en particular, por favor comuníquese con: Linda Dillen, Gerente de Beneficios y Ambien-te Seguro para la Diócesis de Stockton, al (209) 466-0636.
