PASTOR’S NOTES

2 | February 17, 2019

SHOW-AND-TELL 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time Jeremiah 17:5-8 1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20 Luke 6:17, 20-26 I remember these assignments in grade school. I was terrified by them. I was afraid to stand in front of my class and didn’t think that I would ever make a decent presentation. I also remember my classmates’ presentations … many were fantastic! I learned so much more from their demonstrations and explanations than I did when I just read about these things in textbooks and took notes during lectures. I think faith in Jesus works in a very similar way. One of my spiritual heroes is the late Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan from Vietnam. He was the Bishop in Saigon before it was laid siege. He was captured and imprisoned for 13 years, 9 of which were in solitary confinement. After his release, he took refuge in the Vatican. For the Great Jubilee in 2000, St. John Paul II selected Cardinal Van Thuan to lead the spiritual exercis-es for the Roman Curia. From his time in prison, he learned a sage-like wisdom. He taught that “we always run the risk of pos-sessing a theory of love, but not enough of the art of love” (“Testimony of Hope,” 68). He shared a story from prison: When I was in isolation, five police took turns so that there were always two guarding me. The leaders had told them, “We will replace you every two weeks with another group so that you will not be ‘contaminated’ by this dangerous bishop.” In the begin-ning, the guards did not talk with me. They only answered with a yes or no. I was terribly sad. I started to love them, to love Jesus in them, smiling and exchanging kind words with them. I began to tell stories of my trips abroad, of how people live in America, in Canada, in Japan, in the Philippines … about economics, about freedom, about technology. This stimulated their curiosity, and they began asking me many questions. Little by little, we became friends. They wanted to learn foreign languages, French, English … and my guards became my students! On one occasion, I had to cut wood on a rainy day. I spoke to the guard, “Can I ask you a favor?” “Tell me. I’ll help you.” “I would like to cut a piece of wood in the shape of a cross.” “Don’t you know it’s severely forbidden to have any religious signs whatso-ever?” “I know, but we are friends, and I promise to keep it hid-den.” “It will be really dangerous for us.” “Close your eyes. I’ll do it now, and I’ll be really careful.” He went away and left me alone. I cut the cross and kept it hidden in a piece of soap — up until the time of my release. This piece of wood, later placed within a metal frame, became my pectoral cross. In another prison, I asked my guard, who had become my friend, for a piece of electrical wire. Frightened, he said to me, “I learned at the Police Academy that when someone asks for elec-trical wire, it means they want to kill themselves.” I explained to him, “Catholic priests don’t commit suicide.” “But what do you want to do with electrical wire?” “I would like to make a chain so I can carry my cross.” “How can you make a chain with electrical

wire? It’s impossible!” “If you bring me two small pincers, I’ll show you.” “It’s too dangerous.” “But we’re friends.” Three days later, he came to me. “It’s really hard to refuse you anything. Tomorrow night, when it’s my shift, I’ll bring you a piece of elec-trical wire. But you have to finish everything in four hours.” The next evening, from 7-11, with two little pincers, we cut the elec-trical wire into pieces the size of matchsticks. We put them to-gether, and the chain was ready by the time the next guard came on duty. I carry this bishop’s pectoral cross and chain with me every day, not because they are remembrances of prison, but because they represent my profound conviction. They constantly remind me that only Christian love — not weapons, not threats, not the me-dia — can change hearts. It is love that prepares the way for the announcement of the Gospel (“Testimony of Hope,” 72-74). Car-dinal Van Thuan imitated Jesus’ style of show-and-tell. Jesus’ art of love is followed by his explanation of love … the Beatitudes of today’s Gospel.

PRAYER

Mary, Virgin and Mother, you who, moved by the Holy Spirit,

welcomed the word of life in the depths of your humble faith:

as you gave yourself completely to the Eternal One, help us to say our own “yes”

to the urgent call, as pressing as ever, to proclaim the good news of Jesus.

Mother of the living Gospel, wellspring of happiness for God’s little ones,

pray for us. Amen. Alleluia!

— excerpts from the “Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mother”

NOTAS DEL PASTOR

St Peter the Apostle | 3

LOS PESCADORES

La primera lectura de esta semana es una se-lección del profeta Jeremías y nos dice que debemos escoger entre el poder humano y el amor de Dios. ¿Lo podemos hacer? O vivimos con lo que parece funcionar en los centros polí-ticos del gobierno e iglesia o con el entendi-miento de fe que toda vida es ironía y paradoja,

provocando en nosotros más preguntas que respuestas. Hoy Lucas nos presenta su versión de unos dichos originales de Jesús. Si comparamos las bienaventuranzas encontradas en Lucas con las que aparecen en Mateo, notamos una diferencia clara. Mateo pone ocho bendiciones cuando Lucas nos regala cuatro bendiciones y cuatro condenas. Ya sabemos que Lucas siempre busca la manera de reconciliar a los cristianos de Asia Menor. El también escribe veinticinco años después de Mateo. Su versión evangélica nos enseña a servir ministerialmente a un mundo quebrado y marginado cómo lo hizo Jesús. Nos presenta a un Jesús que provoca una conversión personal en su auditorio. Jesús se sienta a comer con personas diecisiete veces y conversa hasta que los comen-sales optan por transformar sus vidas. El Señor recoge a discípulos para que aprendan a cuestionar y señalar la presen-cia de Dios en la humanidad. Las personas tocadas por sus pa-rábolas dan una respuesta coherente a ese Dios. Y todos ellos son llamados a una decisión clara. No hay condiciones sobreim-puestas. Se considera Zaqueo que, según Lucas, revela lo que era necesario para la conversión de un seguidor de Cristo en el primer siglo de la Iglesia: “... dar la mitad de mis bienes a los pobres, y a quien he exigido algo injustamente le devolveré cu-atro veces más” (19, 8). ¿Qué significa escoger la ironía de la pobreza, hambre, lágrimas y odio de los demás por amor al reino de Dios? Lo que más nos confunde es que, según Jesús, debemos ser felices por haber escogido así, y, si no escogemos así, seremos verdaderamente miserables con nuestra riqueza y risas, las mesas llenas y los aplausos de los demás. Quizás debemos hacer el intento de entender las prioridades presentadas al decidir vivir como si el reino de Dios ya hubiera llegado. La justicia, amor y compasión necesarios no son los valores del mundo en donde vivimos. La solidaridad con las penas de los pobres no es una prioridad para los bancos. El efecto de las guerras clandestinas en los niños de Cuba o Irak no preocupa a los políticos, ni da problemas a los jóvenes de Winetka el colapso educativo en las escuelas de Chicago. Para todos, la ironía y paradojas de la vida son sólo cositas de los que escriben novelas; no son de la vida real; y las personas de religión que invocan estos elementos como factores que exigen la solidaridad humana se consideran tontos. Cada semana, todos nosotros nos sentamos en la mesa con Jesús de Nazaret. Durante la eucaristía dominical, él nos cues-tiona con amor sobre nuestras prioridades. ¿Qué queremos de y para la vida?

San Pablo nos habla de nuestra resurrección. El dice que ella es segura porque uno de nosotros, Cristo, ya resucitó. A veces in-tentamos evitar la muerte, pero no podremos jamás evitar la resurrección. Ella ya ha comenzado su proceso en nosotros. Sin embargo, lo que acompaña nuestra resurrección es el don de la solidaridad. En la resurrección se incluye como necesaria la relación humana. Nos resucitaremos porque ya compartimos la vida resucitada de Jesús, pero su vida también incluye al prójimo. Sí, es cierto; hasta los sinvergüenzas entrevistados por Cristina pertenecen a esta humanidad tocada por Jesús. La vida, muerte y resurrección existen para todos. Y, si el final her-moso de este proceso nos pertenece a todos, también nos caen las partes intermedias que no tienen mucho sabor. Cuando Lu-cas nos dice que el principio de la Iglesia consiste en escuchar el testimonio apostólico sobre la resurrección, también dice que compartimos todo lo demás (Hechos 2:42). Debemos contestar unas preguntas: Como cristianos, ¿hemos decidido vivir como si Dios, el amor absoluto e incondicional, estuviera al centro de la vida de todos? ¿Qué cambios traería esto para la comunidad? ¿Cómo se transforman nuestras acti-tudes sobre la política, la economía, la familia, nuestras amistades dentro y fuera de la Iglesia? ¿Qué es lo que nos hace verdaderamente felices o miserables?

SACRAMENTS INFANT BAPTISM The sacrament of baptism for infants is celebrated during Mass. If you are inter-ested in having your child baptized, please make contact Kristine Almada at 760.689.6208 or kalmada@stpeter-fallbrook.org BAUTIZOS Se celebran una vez por mes a las 12PM. Si están interesados en bautizar a su hijo/a, favor de pasar a la oficina parroquial para obtener una forma de registro. RCIA: RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION (How Do I Become A Catholic?) If you are interested in finding out more about the Catholic faith, or are missing some of your sacraments please contact Kristine Almada at 760.689.6208 or kalmada@stpeter-fallbrook.org CONFIRMATION Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacra-ment of Confirmation together make up the “Sacraments of Christian Initia-tion”. The reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the com-pletion of baptismal grace. The mini-mum age for the reception of the Sacra-ment of Confirmation is 15 for those already baptized. The policy of the par-ish is to accept candidates for Confirma-tion who are in the 9th grade and up to 11th grade. Those who are 18 years of age or above are to be enrolled in the adult Confirmation program. The two-year preparation process aims to lead the candidate to a more intimate union with Jesus Christ and more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit – his ac-tions, his gifts and his biddings – in or-der to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. Candidates are expected to attend scheduled faith formation sessions, re-treats, service outreach and attend Mass regularly as they prepare their hearts to become fully initiated into the Catholic Church. For information contact Toney Renteria at 760.689.6209

GET ON THE BUS We are excited as a parish to again be hosting a bus to one of our prisons for the 10th year. A huge round of applause! This year will be the 4th time that Angel will get to see his mother for this an-nual visit. His grandfather will get to visit his daughter on this very sacred day of April 19th. In 2018, 61 buses chartered kids and caregivers to 13 different California prisons. We hope to do this again but need to plead for your generosity. On the week-end of February 16th and 17th, we will be outside the Church anxiously await-ing any questions and/or donations that you may have. We will have enve-lopes available for your donation, which you can drop in the collection basket at your convenience.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA • The prophet Jeremiah urged his fellow Israelites from Judah to trust

in divine providence rather than human wisdom. Why do you think believers today still trust people more than God?

• El profeta Jeremías instó a sus compañeros israelitas de Judá a confiar en la Divina Providencia en lugar de la sabiduría humana. ¿Por qué crees que los creyentes de hoy todavía confían en las per-sonas más que en Dios?
