LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR Dear Brothers and Sisters,

First of all, I want to express my sincere gratitude to so many of you who have been keeping me in prayer during my recent surgery and recuperation. While my convalescence continues at home, I am happy to report that the doctors have told me that all continues to go well.

Since this was the first time that I had ever had any kind of surgery under general anesthesia, it was all a very new experience. As I’ve shared with others, the good news is that you feel nothing after you attempt to count to “10” and maybe make it to “3!” The not so good news is that there is no quick and easy way around the recovery and healing period! It just takes time and a great deal of patience. I am grateful to two wonderful care-givers from a local agency that provided very loving and attentive care during the immediate days following the procedure.

The big question, of course, is, ‘did the operation do what it was supposed to do???’ I wish I could give an immediate response but that too will take some time. There are initial indicators that my gait has improved and there is a relaxation in my legs. However, the true test will come in the coming months when the amount of medication going from the pump into my spine is ‘fine tuned’ and I get back into physical therapy. This will take months.

In the meantime, it is my hope to be back to the parish toward the end of the month. I am grateful to Frs. Tim and Mike for all their support and prayers as well as the extra work load this situation has created for them. Their generous hearts and spirits continue to be a blessing to me and to all of us in the parish.

As we begin a new week in Christ, let us commend to the loving mercy of the Savior all those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, especially, Galo Grijalva. May they be at peace.

Always forward! Msgr. Art

PREGUNTA DE REFLEXION DE LA SEMANA

Declaración de la Parroquia de la Misión

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Sant 1:1-11; Mc 8:11-13 Martes: Sant 1:12-18; Mc 8:14-21 Miércoles: Sant 1:19-27; Mc 8:22-26 Jueves: Sant 2:1-9; Mc 8:27-33 Viernes: Sant 2:14-24, 26; Mc 8:34 — 9:1 Sábado: Sant 3:1-10; Mc 9:2-13 Domingo: Is 43:18-19, 21-22, 24b-25; Sal 41 (40); 2 Cor 1:18-22; Mc 2:1-12

MENSAJE DE LA SEMANA La Comunidad Cristiana continúa los pasos de Jesús de Nazaret: en

su nombre se reúne y celebra su presencia nueva, manifiesta su deseo de llenarse de su Palabra y así acoger la fuerza del mismo Dios. Así, para los creyentes, la palabra y el estilo de Jesús se convierte en una escuela para la vida.

Hoy, la liturgia nos va a presentar cuál es la actitud de Dios y de Jesús mismo respecto de una realidad de marginación como es la enferme-dad, en este caso, la lepra, considerada como una maldición y que conlleva-ba la exclusión total de la vida familiar y social, e incluso de los derechos de la persona, de modo que no contaminara al resto de la comunidad. El mensaje de este domingo se nos pre-senta, pues, en un marco de liberación y de vida. Jesús “se mancha” para poder presentarle a aquel enfer-mo el don de la vida de Dios Padre, su cercanía, que siempre se muestra por encima de leyes rituales y le-gales. El amor de Dios es mucho más grande de todos los condicionantes sociales y culturales.

¡Vaya lección para nosotros, inmersos en un mundo de tantas personas marginadas y por tantos motivos! Ojala aprendamos en esa “escuela” de Jesús, porque nuestro mundo agradecerá la presencia de hombres y mujeres nuevos y solidarios. ¡Dichosos quienes acogen la novedad de Jesús, porque serán una bendición para nuestro mundo!

CARTA DEL PASTOR Queridos hermanos y hermanas, Primero que nada, quiero expresar mi sincera gratitud a todos aquellos quienes me han tenido en sus oraciones durante mi reciente cirugía y recuperación. Mientras que mi con-valecencia continuará en casa, me siento feliz de informarles que los doctores me han di-cho que todo marcha bien. Como esta fue mi primera cirugía bajo el efecto de anestesia general, fue toda una nueva experiencia. Como he compartido con otros, la buena noticia es que no siente uno nada mientras intentas contar hasta “diez” y tal vez solo llegues al “tres” La no tan buena noticia es que no existe un periodo rápida y fácil de recupera-ción. Esta etapa toma tiempo y mucha paciencia. Estoy muy agradecido con dos estupendos enfermeros de una agencia local quienes me han proveído con un afectivo y considerado cuidado durante los primeros días después de la operación. La gran pregunta, por su puesto, es, ¿si la operación hizo lo que debió haber hecho? Me encantaría poder ofrecer una respuesta inmediata pero también eso toma su tiempo. Existen indicadores que mi manera de andar ha mejorado y también mis piernas experimentan una relajación. Sin embargo, la verdadera prueba vendrá en los próximos meses cuando la cantidad de medicamento llegue a mi espina dorsal y sienta la mejo-ría y pueda regresar a la terapia física. Esto tomará meses. Por lo pronto, es mi esperanza el estar de regreso en la parroquia hacia finales de este mes. Estoy muy agradecido a los sacerdotes Tim y Mike por todo su apoyo y oraciones. También por la carga de trabajo que esto ocasionó. Sus corazones y espíritus tan generosos continúan siendo una bendición para mi y todos nosotros en la parroquia. Mientras comenzamos una semana en Cristo, encomendemos a su amorosa misericordia del Salvador a to-dos aquellos quienes nos han precedido marcados con el signo de la fe, especialmente Galo Grijalva. Que encuentren la paz. ¡Siempre adelante! Mons. Art

Retiro de estudiantes del programa de EDGE

¡Soy único/a! Celebrando lo que cada uno de nosotros aporta al Cuerpo de Cristo. Dios nos hizo a su imagen y sin embargo, cada uno de nosotros tiene características que nos hacen únicos y diferentes a los demás. Este retiro explora los atributos que

nos hacen especiales y únicos y a la vez celebramos lo que tenemos que ofrecer al Cuerpo de Cristo. El retiro será el sábado, 18 de febrero de las 8:45 a.m. a las 6:00 p.m. Proveeremos almuerzo. Es-taremos participando de la misa de 4:30p.m. Después de la Eucaristía tendremos un “potluck” en el gim-nasio para celebrar con los demás. Les pedimos que cada familia traiga un platillo para compartir por lo menos con seis personas. El ministerio EDGE proveerá las bebidas, el postre, platos, vasos, etc., etc. Si tiene preguntas, puede escribir a gmiranda@missionparish.org o llamar al teléfono (949)234-1374.

¿Qué es Encuentro Matrimonial? El fin de semana de Encuentro Matrimonial es una experiencia positiva y personal que ofrece a las parejas casadas una oportunidad para aprender una técnica de comunicación amorosa que pueden usar por el resto de sus vidas. Es una oportunidad para mirar profundamente dentro de la relación de cada uno con el otro y con Dios. Es un tiempo para compartir sus sentimientos, esperanzas y sueños con el otro. El énfasis del fin de semana de Encuentro Matrimonial es sobre la comunicación entre esposos y esposas. Es un enfoque úni-co dirigido a revitalizar el Matrimonio. Es un tiempo para que usted y su cónyuge estén solos juntos, para redescubrirse mutuamente y juntos concentrarse en su relación por un fin de semana completo. ¡Todo ma-trimonio merece esa clase de atención! Si están interesados, favor de llamar a Fernando y Sofía Perea al 949-272-6934 o a la Oficina del Ministerio Hispano al (949)234-1360 Est. 362

Obispos de California Apoyan Iniciativas Sobre la Vida y la Familia UNA OPORTUNIDAD PARA MANIFESTAR LAS ENSEÑAZAS DE LA IGLESIA CATOLICA Los Obispos de California están apoyando dos iniciativas que procuran reunir los requisitos para ser incluidas en la Boleta de Votación de las Elecciones del mes de noviembre – la Notificación para los Padres de Familia an-tes de que una menor se someta a un aborto así como la Eliminación de la Pena de Muerte.

Como católicos, creemos y enseñamos que somos portadores de la imagen de Dios. Por consiguiente, desea-mos manifestar nuestro apoyo a la Iniciativa de Notificación de los Padres, la cual requeriría que una joven entre los 12 y 17 años de edad incluya a sus padres en la decisión de obtener un aborto. Debido a que la ley actual permite que se mantengan en secreto los “servicios médicos confidenciales” una joven puede someterse a múltiples abortos—pagados por el Estado—sin que sus padres lo sepan.

Al ejercer la justicia, el principio de respeto a la vida debe prevalecer en el trato mutuo que nos damos, inclu-so para con aquellas personas que hayan cometido un daño grave. La justicia requiere que se utilicen medios propor-cionales y efectivos para proteger a la sociedad. Como ciudadanos, encontramos que la pena de muerte es innecesaria, poco práctica y costosa. Por lo tanto, también ofrecemos nuestro apoyo a la segunda iniciativa— catalogada como SAFE California la cual propone reemplazar la costosa pena de muerte por un delito capital con una condena de vida en prisión, sin la posibilidad de obtener la libertad preparatoria. Por mucho tiempo hemos sostenido que ya no es ne-cesario el uso de la pena de muerte para proteger a la comunidad.

Los católicos a lo largo del Estado ya han expresado su amplio apoyo a estas dos iniciativas y muchos están participando en actividades para recabar firmas y de esta manera colocar estas medidas ante el electorado. Si las medi-das llegan a reunir los requisitos, aparecerán en la Boleta de la Elección General de noviembre de 2012. El Ministerio de Respeto a la Vida estará afuera de la Basílica después de cada Misa el fin de semana del 18 y 19 de Febrero solici-tando que participemos y firmemos esta petición para así manifestar nuestra fe en el Dios de la Vida, y apoyar estas fuertes iniciativas que nuestros Obispos Católicos están reesforzando.
