HOW GOD INTENDS US TO LIVE. Today’s readings are again directed to believers, communities of faith. As in last week’s reading, Amos confronts us with a condemnation of those whose lives are focused on pleasure and self-absorption. The psalm contrasts that focus with the Lord’s—justice for the oppressed; food the hungry; freedom for captives; sight to the blind; raising of those who are bowed down; loving the just; protecting strangers, orphans, and the widow; and by doing so, thwarting the way of the wicked. Timothy urges the pursuit of righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. Luke tells the familiar tale of the wealthy man and the poor beggar at his doorstep, who experience life very differently in this world and in the next. We are once again being given clear indications about how God intends for us to live our lives. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.\ T ’ R

First Reading — Woe to the complacent, stretched comfortably on their couches! (Amos 6:1a, 4-7). Psalm — Praise the Lord, my soul! (Psalm 146) Second Reading — Pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness (1 Timothy 6:11-16). Gospel — There was a rich man who dined sumptuously each day. Lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31).

T T Over the past century, a desire to recover a deep sense of unity among all believers in Christ has grown. The “ecumenical movement” (from the Greek word meaning the “the whole inhabited world”) began among Protestant Christians, but was given great energy in 1920 with a letter from the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople, calling for closer dialogue and cooperation among Christians. In 1960, Pope John XXIII invited Protestant and Orthodox observers to the Second Vatican Council. In 1964, the Council’s Decree on Ecumenism named these Christians “separated brethren,” a huge leap forward from the time of labeling them as “outside the Church.” A year later, a new pope, Paul VI, and the Orthodox Patriarch officially nullified the condemnations that walled off East from West for nine hundred years.

The pace and optimism of the 1960s has sadly waned, and the signs of progress toward unity are few; yet there are wider agreements on sharing Communion among various Christian denominations, and among Protestants agreements regarding sharing of ecclesiastical life and ministry. Among the success stories of the ecumenical movement are greater cooperation among Christian clergy, a similar Lectionary for Protestants and Catholics, and even experiments in the monastic life and common worship. —James Field, Copyright © J.

DID YOU KNOW?

Understanding community grooming. Like the psychological grooming we discussed last week, community grooming is another way a predator inserts himself into the life of his child victim. In community grooming, the predator develops a rapport with the community surrounding his victims, appearing to be kind, generous, and caring. This can often lead to increased levels of trust from adults around the victim, and increased access to the victim. The predator uses manipulation and lies to build a false image of good, which makes it harder for victims to come forward to express discomfort or report an allegation. For more information on community grooming, get a copy of the VIRTUS® article “The Stockholm Syndrome and Victims of Abuse, Part II” at http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.

Paul wrote a letter to Timothy telling him the qualities he should pursue (1 Timothy 6:11-16).

CÓMO DIOS PRETENDE QUE VIVAMOS. Las lecturas de hoy una vez más están dirigidas a los creyentes, comunidades de fe. Así como la lectura de la semana pasada. Amós nos conforta con una condena de aquellos cuyas vidas están enfocadas en el placer y la auto absorción. El Salmo contrasta ese enfoque con el del Señor: justicia para los oprimidos, alimentos para los hambrientos, libertad para los cautivos, vista para los ciegos, levantar a los agachados, amor al justo, proteger a los extranjeros, huérfanos y las viudas; y al hacerlo, frustrando el camino a los malvados. Timoteo nos insta a la búsqueda de la justicia, la devoción, la fe, el amor, la paciencia y la mansedumbre. Lucas cuenta la historia familiar de un hombre rico y un mendigo en su puerta, que lleva una vida muy diferente en este mundo y en el otro. Una vez más estamos recibiendo indicaciones acerca de cómo Dios quiere que vivamos nuestras vidas. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. L :

Primera lectura — Ay de los complacidos. Sus juergas disolutas desaparecerán (Amós 6:1a, 4-7). Salmo — Alabemos al Señor, que viene a salvarnos (Salmo 146 [145]). Segunda lectura — Compete bien por la fe. Guarda los mandamientos hasta que aparezca el Señor Jesús (1 Timoteo 6:11-16). Evangelio — Recuerda que recibiste las cosas buenas durante tu vida; Lázaro recibió lo que era malo. Ahora Lázaro es consolado mientras que tú eres atormentado (Lucas 16:19-31).

T N F Desde el siglo XVII, el 2 de octubre la Iglesia ha celebrado la conmemoración de los Santos Ángeles Custodios. Muchos de nosotros conocemos la imagen de un niñito y su hermanita caminando por un puente tembloroso y podrido. Sobre ellos está en vigilante una bella criatura halada, su ángel protector. Esta imagen de seres con alas es una que los cristianos tomamos de los paganos romanos y griegos, ya que bíblicamente hablando la mayor parte de los ángeles no tienen alas. Últimamente los ángeles se han puesto de moda entre los no cristianos, pero no debemos dejarnos llevar por sus doctrinas “new age”. Muchos de ellos buscan poner a los ángeles a su propio servicio pidiéndoles dinero, su pareja y otras cosas. Los ángeles no existen para enriquecernos. Más bien hay que saber que los ángeles están para glorificar y servir a Dios y cuidar a los humanos marginados. Jesús mismo nos dice que hay que cuidarnos de despreciar a los pequeños (gente pobre y oprimida) “porque les aseguro que sus ángeles en el cielo están constantemente en presencia de mi Padre celestial” (Mateo 18:10-11). —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

SABÍA USTED?

Comprendiendo el acoso sexual comunitario. Al igual que el acoso sexual (grooming) psicológico que discutimos la semana pasada, el acoso sexual comunitario es otra forma en que un depredador se inserta en la vida de su víctima infantil. En el acoso sexual comunitario, el depredador desarrolla un entendimiento o una relación cercana con la comunidad que rodea a sus víctimas, aparentando ser amable, generoso y afectuoso. Esto a menudo puede conducir a mayores niveles de confianza por parte de los adultos cercanos a la víctima, teniendo así, el depredador, mayor acceso a la víctima. El depredador usa la manipulación y la mentira para construir una imagen falsa del bien, lo que dificulta que las víctimas puedan expresar sus molestias o que se presenten a hacer una denuncia Para más información sobre el acoso sexual comunitario, obtenga una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “The Stockholm Syndrome and Victims of Abuse, Part II” (El Síndrome de Estocolmo y las víctimas de abuso, Parte II) en http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current- Online-Articles.aspx.

SAINT LORENZO RUIZ (first canonized Filipino martyr) AND COMPANIONS’ STORY

Lorenzo was born in Manila of a Chinese father and a Filipino mother, both Christians. Thus

he learned Chinese and Tagalog from them, and Spanish from the Dominicans whom he served as altar boy and sacristan. He became a professional calligrapher, transcribing documents in beautiful penmanship. He was a full member of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary under Dominican auspices. He married and had two sons and a daughter. Lorenzo’s life took an abrupt turn when he was accused of murder. Nothing further is known except the statement of two Dominicans that “he was sought by the authorities on account of a homicide to which he was present or which was attributed to him.” At that time, three Dominican priests, Antonio Gonzalez, Guillermo Courtet, and Miguel de Aozaraza, were about to sail to Japan in spite of a violent persecution there. With them was a Japanese priest, Vicente Shiwozuka de la Cruz, and a layman named Lazaro, a leper. Lorenzo, having taken asylum with them, was allowed to accompany them. But only when they were at sea did he learn that they were going to Japan. They landed at Okinawa. In Japan they were soon found out, arrested, and taken to Nagasaki. They were subjected to an unspeakable kind of torture. The superior, Fr. Gonzalez, died after some days. The five were put to death by being hanged upside down in pits. Boards fitted with semi-circular holes were fitted around their waists and stones put on top to increase the pressure. They were tightly bound, to slow circulation and prevent a speedy death. They were allowed to hang for three days. By that time Lorenzo and Lazaro were dead. Still alive, the three priests were then beheaded. In 1987, Pope John Paul II canonized these six and 10 others: Asians and Europeans, men and women, who spread the faith in the Philippines, Formosa, and Japan. Lorenzo Ruiz is the first canonized Filipino martyr. The Liturgical Feast of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz and Companions is September 28.

What does an altar server do? It is with great honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve the altar of God. You will help set up for mass, and assist the Priest and Deacon during mass.

To serve as an altar server, the following is required: • family must be registered parishioners of St. Piux X; • must have received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion; • must attend training and attend Sunday mass. We invite all boys and girls to join this ministry (a parent or guardian must attend the first training). Please call the rectory or contact Glenda Casillas (213) 393-8639. Training will be held on Saturday, October 12th from 11am to 12pm at the church.
