Monsignor Stephen N. Downes, Pastor) “My house shall be called a house of prayers for all peoples” these are the closing words of our First Reading today remind ing us that all peoples are included in God’s mercy. All peoples, all nations, all races are called to receive God’s mercy and love. Jesus himself seems to limit his ministry of love and mercy to the people of Israel in today’s Gospel. But the woman of Canaan crashes through every human barrier by her faith in Jesus and her longing for healing for her daughter. She refuses to accept “No” for an answer. She wins the heart of Jesus through her witty persistence. He speaks great praise for her saying: “O Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” In the Second Reading St. Paul tells us that we have all disobeyed God, but God has “mercy upon all.” We all come from God and are going to God. Can we pray together? Live together? Walk together in God’s mercy and love? • I Final work on the new Parish Hall project continues: completing the requirements of the Fire Dept; the plaza; the walk way between the new Hall and the Rectory; the shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe and the return of the statues of Holy Mary and St. Joseph that were in front of the Old Church. Once the City of Palmdale and the Fire Dept approve the new buildings, we will have the blessing and opening ceremonies (perhaps on Sunday, August 31st). We ex pect all work to be completed by the middle of September. (Rev, Monsignor Stephen N. Downes, Pastor) “Mi Casa será llamada Casa de Oración, para todos los pueblos” – Son las últimas palabras de nuestra Primera Lectura de hoy, recordándonos que todas las gentes están incluídas en la infinita misericordia de Dios. Todos los pueblos, todas naciones, las razas son llamadas a recibir la gran misericordia y amor de Dios. Jesús mismo parece limitar su ministerio de amor y misericordia al pueblo de Israel solamente, en el Evangelio de hoy. Pero la mujer cananea, por su fe en Jesús y su grande necesidad de sanación de su hija , derriba todas las barreras humanas. Ella se resiste a recibir un “No” por respuesta. Ella se gana el corazón de Jesús por su persistencia en pedir ayuda y compasión. De la boca del Maestro sale la alabanza más grande que ella hubiera escuchado jamás: “Mujer, ¡Qué grande es tu fe! Que se cumpla lo que deseas”. En la Segunda Lectura San Pablo nos dice que todos nosotros hemos desobedecido a Dios, pero Él ha tenido “misericordia de todos”. Todos nosotros venimos de Dios y vamos hacia Dios. ¿ Podremos nosotros orar juntos? ¿Vivir y caminar juntos en el amor de Dios? • CONTINUA EL PROYECTO DEL TRABAJO FINAL DE NUESTRO NUEVO SALON PARROQUIAL: Los requirimientos del Departamento de Bomberos y la Ciudad de Palmdale en el proyecto de construcción de la plaza: o sea el camino entre el nuevo Salón Parroquial y la Rectoría, la Capilla de nuetra Señora de Guadalupe y la colocación de las estatuas de Nuestra Señora la Virgen María y San José, que estaban enfrente de la Iglesia antigua, siguen avanzando.Una vez aprobados los nuevos edificios, celebraremos la bendición y apertura, quizás el Domingo 31 de agosto. Esperamos tener todo el trabajo terminado para la primera mitad de septiembre. • Nuestra Cena –Baile Parroquial anual hawaiano LUAU se llevará a cab el sábado 13 de septiembre, de 6:00 a 11:00 PM en nuestro nuevo Salón Parroquial.

CALLED TO ACT IN GOD’S NAME “Let all the nations praise you!” (Psalm 67:4) today’s psalm response exclaims. In the psalms and other Hebrew scriptures, this kind of invocation is actually an invitation to God to act, to intervene in human lives in a manner that will cause everyone—not just the Chosen People—to give praise. Stated a bit more strongly, it is something of a “put up or shut up” challenge to God, the sort of strong statement the psalmists of Israel, trusting in their intimate and loving relationship with God, were not afraid to make. The Gospel has its own exclamation, announcing the appearance of the Canaanite woman with “Behold!” (Matthew 15:22) “Behold!” is a scriptural flag that tells us that God is about to act or announce something through an individual or a situation. In the case of Jesus, God was going to act through this woman, whom nobody among Jesus’ followers would have believed to be an agent of the divine will. Like the psalmists, we might passively inform or perhaps even actively challenge God to do something so that everyone will come to belief, but God will always turn the tables on us. It becomes our calling, our duty (as it was for Jesus) to behold the situations and persons of our daily lives so that God can act through us, so the Kingdom can be announced through our living.

Did You Know? ¿Sabía Usted? Sexual abuse of minors is a pervasive social problem El Abuso Sexual de Menores – Un Problema Penetrante Social “Child abuse is a frightening social reality. Numerous studies, while not in full agreement, estimate that some 40% of girls and 30% of boys suffer some form of molestation by an adult during their childhood and adolescence, with the majority of child sexual abuse occurring within the setting of an extended family. We as the ‘People of God’ are called to work together to stop all forms of sexual abuse, wherever they occur.” From the pamphlet, “Working Together to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse: Keeping Ministerial Relationships Healthy & Holy,” published by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The pamphlet is available in the parish and online at www.archdiocese.la/protecting/resources El abuso de los niños es una realidad social alarmante. Numerosos estudios, aunque no están totalmente de acuerdo, calculan que un 40% de las niñas y un 30% de los niños han sufrido una forma de molestación por un adulto durante su niñez y adolescencia, con la mayoría del abuso sexual ocurriendo dentro del círculo familiar. Nosotros, como “Pueblo de Dios” somos llamados a trabajar juntos para impedir toda forma de abuso sexual, donde quiera que ocurra. El folleto, “Trabajando Juntos Para Prevenir el Abuso Sexual de los Niños: Manteniendo las Relaciones Ministeriales Sanas y Santas” publicado por la Arquidiócesis de Los Angeles esta disponible en la pagina de Internet: www.archdiocese.la/ protecting/resources For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at 213 637 7650.
