A: MI FAMILIA Y AMIGOS
Ahora me dirijo a todos ustedes para decirles-una vez más-cuánto los amo. Individualmente, ustedes son mis queridos hijos e hijas. Juntos, ustedes son mi amada familia. Como ustedes
saben, voy a hacer algo por ustedes, y de hecho, ya lo he hecho todo por ustedes, el envío de mi
único hijo Jesús a través de María en la Iglesia.
Aunque soy Todopoderoso, necesito tu ayuda. Les estoy pidiendo ser voluntario en nuestra
próxima Feria de Lomita, del 11-13 Septiembre 2015. Aunque tengo completo conocimiento y
sé todo, todavía no sé cuántos de ustedes serán lo suficientemente generosos como para dar su
precioso tiempo para ayudar a otros. Como ustedes saben, todos los ingresos van a apoyar a muchos programas dignos parroquiales. Mis servidores en SMM me han estado pidiendo que les envié ayudantes y voluntarios. Recuerden, sin mí no pueden hacer nada, pero sin ustedes no puedo
hacer nada. Ustedes son mis manos que me ayudan.
¡Así que, por favor! – ¡SE VOLUNTARIO! Te garantizo que, si sacrificas algo para mí y tu
parroquia-te lloverán incontables bendiciones. ¡Harás amigos y te divertirás también!
Tú siempre amoroso, Padre Celestial

SUNDAY

BULLETIN
Imagine witnessing the miraculous
healing of a man who for his entire life
had been deaf and suffering from a
speech impediment. That’s what a
crowd of people experienced when
Jesus healed the man near the
Sea of Galilee in a district called
Decapolis. Each and every one of us is
in need of some kind of healing
whether it be physical, spiritual,
emotional, or any other need for
healing to improve our well being.
In what way do you need the healing touch
of Jesus in your life?
Share your thoughts and listen to those of others at our
next Faith Sharing meeting at the Parish Center. We’ll
reflect upon the readings for the Twenty-Third Sunday
in Ordinary Time:
Isaiah 35:4-7a; James 2:1-5; Mark 7:31-37

SMM PRO-LIFE
There must be a deep unity among the
works of charity on behalf of life—for
each of its stages and conditions human
life is sacred and inviolable, a gift that is
indivisible.
The Gospel of Life 87
The consistency of our care for life flows from the
fact that God’s care is constant. Every life at every
stage of its existence belongs to Him. God’s rights
over human life are never interrupted or diminished.
Prayer: God of uninterrupted love, keep us constant
and consistent in care for one another. Amen
JUST FOR TODAY
With the grace of God . . .
I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to
enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give
to the world, so the world will give to me.

MEET YOUR “NEW” PASTOR
First of all, I want to thank all of you who participated in
my installation as pastor last Sunday. I think everyone
found it to be a beautiful, lively and sometimes moving
ceremony. I especially want to thank Bishop Solis for
being the main presider, Mike Molina for coordinating the
ceremony and music, our SMM staff for their
participation and support, and so many of you for being
there. Plus, of course the presence of our wonderful
Bishop Joe.
But what, you may ask is the purpose of an
“Installation”? Perhaps you have never witnessed one
before. The installation of a pastor is the public
recognition of what has already been decreed by the
Archbishop, i.e., assigning a priest, who has already spent
the required years as administrator, to be the pastor of a
parish community for a period of six years. The rite itself has developed over the
years and can be adapted for the particular parish. The essence of it, however,
consists in the local bishop confirming the Archbishop’s nomination before a good
representation of the parishioners. If there were any questions about suitability,
popularity or what not, these are now secondary.
Deacon Dan proposed my name on behalf of the whole parish, the bishop
recognized me, the people accepted warmly (with applause). The staff then
presented the symbols of the pastoral office as a reminder of my daily duties: the
missal, the holy oils, the sacred vessels etc. I promised fidelity to the Catholic
Church and her teachings and then led the faithful in the recitation of the Creed.
The Mass continued on as normal. All in all, it was a special moment in my life to
be sure, and I am very grateful to God for placing me here at St. Margaret Mary’s.
With prayers and gratitude, Fr. Paul
FIRST FRIDAY and ALL NIGHT ADORATION
September 4th, 6:30, 8:15 AM and 7 PM bilingual Mass followed by
You are invited to spend an hour
in adoration and prayer with Jesus.
It will be the best time
you will spend on this earth.

E S P I R I T U A L
RESISTENCIA A LOS CAMBIOS
Por Humberto Beltrán
Los letrados y fariseos representan el culto
hipócrita que se ciñe a lo externo, a lo de fuera, perdiendo de vista lo profundo, lo de dentro. Frente a una religiosidad basada en la observancia legal de ritos y en la interpretación
rígida de la doctrina. Jesús enseña una nueva
forma de relacionarse con Dios. Dios está en
la comunidad de hermanos, en la justicia con
los pobres y harapientos. Las legalidades son
accesorias. La letra mata, y el espíritu vivifica.
Un Mundo de Apariencias.
Vivimos en un mundo lleno de apariencias y
de fantasías que nos deslumbran los ojos y
nos impiden ver el fondo de las cosas. Arreglamos muy linda la casa y tratamos de que
los huéspedes no vean la ropa sucia ni la basura. Los novios presentan lo mejor de sí mismos para causar buena impresión. Muchos
quieren aparentar ser ricos y acomodados y
hablan de viajes y dinero. Los políticos parecen inmaculados, hasta que se descubren su
corrupción. En el fondo de cada uno de nosotros hay un poco de hipocresía. Fácilmente
nos ponemos una máscara ante los demás para que nos haga ver mejores de lo que somos
y distraiga a la gente, a fin de que no nos vea
lo interior. Es como la sonrisa encantadora de
muchos comerciantes que no nos dan tiempo
para ver sus intenciones de engañarnos y llevarse nuestro dinero. En el evangelio de este
día, el Señor tiene una tremenda lección sobre el valor de las cosas y la falsedad de la hipocresía.
Se trata de una escena con los fariseos. Ellos
tenían una tradición muy antigua que consistía en purificarse las manos antes de comer. A
esta práctica higiénica le daban un valor religioso exagerado. Con tal de estar limpios, no
les importaba ver morir de hambre a un pobre si estaba sucio. El Señor los llamó hipócritas. Y luego añadió con fuerza que lo mancha al hombre no está fuera, sino dentro en el
corazón: allí está la semilla de las injusticias,
de las violencias, de las guerras y asesinatos.
Si muchos mueren por accidentes y enfermedades, muchos mueren por maldad de los
hombres. Lo que debe de preocupar nos es
pues, lo que está allí dentro de nosotros mismos.
Nosotros los cristianos podemos tener el peligro de quedarnos sólo en lo material de las
cosas sagradas. Por ejemplo, bautizamos no
porque queremos que nuestro hijo sea hijo de
Dios, sino porque queremos compadres y una
fiesta. Después ni nosotros ni los hijos vamos
a la iglesia ni hacemos el bien.
Hipocresía es todo lo que aparenta fuera, pero no trae conversión al corazón, no tiene mayor valor ante Dios. A veces decimos con falsa
modestia: no soy santo bajado del cielo, pero
yo no robo, no mato, tengo las manos limpias.
Pilatos tenía también las manos limpias, pero
no hizo lo que debía: defender la justicia aun
a costa de su puesto.
Jesús nos trae una religión interior, del corazón. No es tan exigente en cuanto a limpieza
sólo de las manos. No le importa mucho que
la ropa sea un poquito vieja o fuera de moda,
que tengamos la casa pobre y no seamos famosos en la sociedad. Pero quiere ver riqueza
por dentro de nosotros. Quiere vernos con la
mente abierta para buscar la verdad, y con la
voluntad dispuesta a cumplir con nuestro deber.
Reflexión
En la misa a la que hemos venido, vemos la
apariencia muy sencilla de pan sobre el altar.
Si sólo miramos con los ojos del cuerpo, allí
no está Dios y nuestra reunión no tiene sentido. Pero si miramos con fe, allí está el Señor
presente.

CONOCE A TU NUEVO PASTOR
En primer lugar, quiero dar las gracias a todos los que participaron en mi instalación
como pastor el domingo pasado. Creo que a
todos nos pareció que fue muy hermoso, alegre y a veces emotiva ceremonia. Especialmente quiero agradecerle al Obispo Solís por
ser el celebrante principal, a Mike Molina por
la coordinación de la ceremonia y la música,
nuestro personal SMM por su participación y
apoyo, y a muchos de ustedes por estar ahí.
Además, por supuesto, la presencia de nuestro maravilloso obispo Joe.
Pero, usted puede preguntar ¿cuál es el propósito de una
"instalación"? Tal vez usted nunca ha presenciado una antes.
La instalación de un pastor es el reconocimiento público de lo
que ya ha sido decretado por el arzobispo, es decir, la asignación
de un sacerdote, que ya ha pasado los años requeridos como administrador, para ser el pastor de una comunidad parroquial
por un período de seis años. El rito en sí se ha desarrollado a lo
largo de los años y puede ser adaptado para la parroquia en particular. La esencia de la misma, sin embargo, consiste en el obispo local confirmar el nombramiento del arzobispo ante una buena representación de los feligreses. Si hay alguna pregunta sobre
la idoneidad, la popularidad o lo que no, estos ahora son secundarios.
El Diácono Dan propuso mi nombre, en nombre de toda la parroquia, el obispo me reconoció, las personas aceptaron con
gusto (con aplausos), el personal luego presentaron los símbolos
de la oficina pastoral como un recordatorio de mis tareas diarias: el misal, los santos óleos, los vasos sagrados, etc. Prometí
fidelidad a la Iglesia Católica y sus enseñanzas y luego llevaron a
los fieles en recitación del Credo. La Misa continúo en forma
normal. Sin embargo, fue un momento especial en mi vida para
estar seguro, y estoy muy agradecido con Dios por colocarme
aquí en Santa Margarita María.

I
am writing to you all now to tell you—once again—how much I love you.
Individually, you are my dear daughters and sons. Together, you are my
beloved family. As you know, I will do anything for you, and indeed, have already
done everything for you, sending my Only Son Jesus through Mary in the Church.
lthough I am All-powerful, I need your help. I am asking you to
volunteer at our upcoming Lomita Fair, September 11—13, 2015.
Although I am omniscient and know everything, I still don’t know how many of
you will be generous enough to give of your precious time to help others. As you
know, all proceeds go to support many worthy parish programs. My servants at
SMM have been begging me to send them helpers and volunteers. Remember,
without me you can do nothing, but without you I will do nothing. You are my
helping hands.
o, please!—VOLUNTEER! I guarantee that—if you sacrifice something for me
and your parish—I will shower you with untold blessings. You will make
friends and have fun too.
Your ever-loving, Heavenly Father

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
