RCIA: The Rite of Sending...
Across the entire world, Catholic bishops welcome
those catechumens sent by the parish to gather
together with their godparents and sponsors in what
is known as the Rite of Election. Today we celebrate
The Rite of Sending, which offers the parish
community an opportunity to acknowledge the
spiritual progress the catechumens and candidates
have made, express approval of their election or
recognition, and send them forth to our bishop with
assurance of the parish’s care and support.

2015 DDF
Annual Appeal
The DDF (Diocesan Development Fund)
What is the DDF and what does it do…
The DDF provides a source of finance and funding for expenditures in
the works of the Church and provides funds for welfare and pastoral
programs in the Catholic Diocese of San Bernardino.
The Diocesan Development Fund (DDF) is our opportunity to
support the work of the Church in San Bernardino and Riverside
counties and with your generous donations to the DDF we can support
over 40 ministries and programs that are offered by the diocese. These
are ministries that no one parish could sustain alone and are
imperative to fulfilling our mission of filling people's lives with hope.
This vision will be developed in those areas of greatest concern to us:
•
Youth Evangelization
•
Unity in diversity
•
Stewardship of resources •
Leadership
•
Organizational structures
The 2015 Diocesan Development Fund reminds us who we really are…
that we are to grow beyond ourselves and join the community of
faithful dedicated to serving others and called everyday to be His
disciple. By sharing our gifts and ourselves, we can really make a
difference in living out our mission of discipleship. Please join us in
being as generous as you can…you can receive a donation envelope at
the end of Mass and you can return it to us through the church office…
please see one of representatives outside of the church…thanks and
blessings to you and your family.

Reflecting on God’s Word
Two of today’s readings take us up a mountain. Mountains are sacred
places in the scriptures. Moses meets the God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob on Mt. Sinai. Elijah has an experience of this same life-giving
God on Mt. Horeb. Today Abraham goes up Mt. Moriah in obedience
to God’s command to “take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you
love” (Genesis 22:2) and offer him there as a holocaust.
It is hard to get past this reading today and focus only on the story
of the Transfiguration. This story of God testing Abraham to see if
Abraham will obey is a story of great anguish. “See” is an important
word here: Moriah means “the place of seeing.” Abraham responds
to Isaac’s question about a victim, saying God will provide, a word
rooted in the Latin word for seeing. God will see to it that there is a
victim, just as God will see that Abraham is obedient in all things.
Seeing also takes place on Mt. Tabor. Peter, James, and John see Jesus
in glory, his clothes dazzlingly white; they see him speaking with
Moses and Elijah, representing the law and the prophets; and they see
a cloud overshadowing them, and hear a voice calling for their obedience: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him” (Mark 9:7).
With them, we are invited to see Jesus as the beloved Son whom the
Father “did not spare . . . but handed over for us all,” as Paul reminds
us (Romans 8:32). The mystery of the Cross and Resurrection is an invitation to see God’s love for all God’s beloved children and trust in it.
—James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
