FEBRUARY 1, 2015
In 1997, Pope John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for
women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is
attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord
on February 2. This feast is also known as Candlemas
Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing
Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in
consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus
Christ to all peoples. The celebration of World Day for
Consecrated Life is transferred to the following Sunday
in order to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for
the whole Church.

TODAY 2ND COLLECTION FOR OUR FAITH, OUR
FAMILY, OUR FUTURE CAMPAIGN
NEXT SUNDAY 2ND COLLECTION FOR
THE BISHOPS ANNUAL APPEAL
PASTOR’S CORNER
“We teach the children to talk to Jesus. This is the most
powerful thing we can do for anyone.” This is the solution
offered by Fr. David O’Connell, a Pastor in L.A. where divorce, drugs, addiction and gang activity are having a devastating effect on families in his parish and school. Most priests
and deacons, who preach Sunday after Sunday, and catechists,
who teach week after week, tend to presume that those coming to Mass and classes already know how to “talk to Jesus.”
Yet studies show that personal, honest, frequent conversations
with Jesus are rare among Catholics. Most Catholics are settling for much less than Jesus is trying to offer them. Consider
what Jesus offered to the ultra religious and arrogant Saul of
Tarsus, which transformed him into the humble, zealous and
loving St. Paul. It was the gift of Himself: his Mind, his Heart,
his Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity! St. Paul could say, “No
longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. I still live my human
life, but it is a life of faith in the Son of God who loves me
and who gave his life for me” (Gal. 2:20). Jesus offers the
Gift of Himself to every disciple. But, we must freely respond, often, for the relationship, the friendship, to grow. If
you are not already doing so, I exhort you to add this discipline to your lifestyle. At the beginning of each day, soon
after you wake up, make the sign of the cross, pray the “Our
Father” slowly from your heart. Add a “Hail Mary.” Then,
enter into at least five minutes of personal conversation with
Jesus. I suggest this method. First, tell Jesus how you feel in
the present moment. Confide in Him your difficulties and
struggles, your need for mercy and help. Listen to Him. Second, add a moment of praise and thanksgiving for the blessings you see in your life. Listen to Jesus. Third, exercise the
power of compassion and charity, which God pours into your
heart, as you pray for those you care about, for the Church and
for the world. Listen to Jesus. Then enter into your day together with Jesus, who chooses to remain with you as Lord,
Redeemer, Friend, Shepherd and Bridegroom, of your heart
and of your life. If you do this, the glory of God and the joy of
the Gospel will shine on your face. Some people may even
ask you to explain the reason for the hope they see in you (cf.
1Peter 3:15). Congratulations. You are now an evangelist.
Teach others to talk to Jesus. This is the most powerful thing
we can do for anyone.
Blessings, Fr. John

RINCÓN DEL PÁRROCO
“Enseñamos a los niños ha hablar con Jesus. Esto es lo
mejor que podemos hacer por alguien.” Esta es la solución que el Padre David O’Connell, un Pastor en L.A. en
donde el divorco, las drogas, adicciones y las actividades de
las pandillas están teniendo un efecto devastador en las familias de su parroquia y escuela. La mayoría de los sacerdotes y diaconos que predican Domingo tras Domingo, y las
catequistas, que enseñanan semana tras semana, tienden a
suponer que los que vienen a Misa y clases ya saben cómo
“hablar con Jesus.” Sin embargo estudios demuestran que
conversaciones personales, frecuentes y honestas con Jesus
son raras entre los católicos. La mayoría de los Católicos se
conforman con mucho menos de lo que Jesus trata de ofrecerles. Considere lo que Jesus ofreció al ultra religioso y
arrogante Saul de Tarsus, que lo transformó en un San Pablo
humilde, celoso y amoroso. ¡Fué el regalo de Sí Mismo: su
Mente, su Corazón, su Cuerpo, Sangre, Alma y Divinidad!
San Pablo pudo decir, “Ya no soy yo quien vive, sino Cristo
vive en mi. Yo todavía vivo mi vida humana, pero es una
vida de fe en el Hijo de Dios quien me ama y dió su vida por
mí” (Gal. 2:20). Jesus ofrece el don de sí mismo a cada
discípulo. Pero, a menudo, debemos responder libremente,
por la relación, la amistad, para crecer. Si aún no lo están
haciendo, les exhorto a añadir esta disciplina a su vida. Al
empezar el día, poco después de despertarse, haga la señal de
la cruz, ore el “Padre Nuestro” lentamente desde su corazón.
Agregue un “Ave María.” Luego, tenga una conversación
personal con Jesus durante al menos cinco minutos. Les
sugiero este método. Primero, dígale a Jesus como se siente
en ese momento. Confíe en El sus dificultades y luchas, su
necesidad de misericordia y ayuda. Escúchelo. Segundo,
agregue un momento de alabanza y de acción de gracias por
las bendiciones que ve en su vida. Escuche a Jesus. Tercero, ejerza el poder de compasión y caridad, que Dios derrama en su corazón, ya que ora por las personas queridas, por
la Iglesia y por el mundo. Escuche a Jesus. Entonces
empiece su día junto a Jesus, quien decide permanecer con
usted como Señor, Redentor, Amigo, Pastor y Novio, de su
corazón y de su vida. Si hace esto, la Gloria de Dios y la
alegría del Evangelio brillará en su cara. Incluso algunas
personas pueden pedirle que explique la razón de la esperanza que ven en usted (cf. 1Pedro 3:15). Felicidades. Eres un
Evangelista. Enseña a otros ha hablar con Jesus. Esto es lo
major que podemos hacer por alguien.
