Administrator (619) 427-0230 Patti Favela Business Manager (619) 427-0230 The day of the Lord is coming, Paul warns in today’s Epistle. What matters isn’t the time or the season, but what the Lord finds us doing with the new life, the graces He has given to us. This is at the heart of Jesus’ parable in today’s Gospel. Jesus is the Master. Having died, risen, and ascended into heaven, He appears to have gone away for a long time. By our baptism, He has entrusted to each of us a portion of His “possessions,” a share in His divine life. He has given us talents and responsibilities, according to the measure of our faith. We are to be like the worthy wife in today’s First Reading, and the faithful man we sing of in today’s Psalm. Like them, we should walk in the “fear of the Lord” - in reverence, awe, and thanksgiving for His marvelous gifts. This is the beginning of wisdom. This is not the “fear” of the useless servant in today’s parable. His is the fear of a slave cowering before a cruel master; the fear of one who refuses the relationship that God calls us to. He has called us to be trusted servants, fellow workers, using our talents to serve one another and His kingdom as good stewards of His grace. In this, we each have a different part to play. Though the good servants in today’s parable were given different numbers of talents, each “doubled” what he was given. And each earned the same reward for his faithfulness - greater responsibilities and a share of the Master’s joy. So let us resolve again in this Eucharist to make much of what we’ve been given, to do all for the glory of God. That we, too, may approach our Master with confidence and love when He comes to settle accounts. Cory Chavez, Adilene Trujillo, Adrianna Ceja-Melvin Office Staff Maggie Reynoso Fiesta de la Dedicación de la Basílica de Letrán ¿Por qué conmemorar, Pablo nos advierte en la Epístola de hoy que el día del Señor llegará. No importa la hora o la temporada, sino lo que el Señor nos encuentre haciendo con la nueva vida y las gracias que El nos dio. Esto es lo que está al centro de la parábola que cuenta Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy. Jesús es el Maestro. Al morir, resucitar y subir al cielo, nos parece que se ha alejado por mucho tiempo. Por medio de nuestro bautismo, nos ha encargado una porción de sus “bienes”, una porción de su vida eterna. Nos ha dado talentos y responsabilidades según la capacidad de nuestra fe. Debemos ser como la mujer hacendosa en la Primera Lectura de hoy, y como el hombre dichoso del cual cantamos en el Salmo. Como ellos, debemos “temer al Señor” – siguiendo sus caminos con reverencia, admiración y gratitud por los maravillosos dones que El nos da. Esto es el principio de la sabiduría. Este no es el “temor” del siervo inútil de la parábola de hoy. El siervo demuestra el temor de un esclavo atemorizado ante un maestro cruel, el temor de alguien que rechaza la relación a la cual nos llama Dios. Dios nos llama a ser sus siervos de confianza, sus compañeros de trabajo, usando nuestros talentos para ponernos al servicio de los demás y al servicio de su reino como buenos administradores de su gracia. En esta labor, todos tenemos un papel diferente que interpretar. A pesar de que los siervos buenos de la parábola de hoy recibieron diferentes cantidades de tesoro, cada uno duplicó su cantidad y recibió la misma recompensa por su fidelidad – confianza con cosas de más valor y tomar parte en la alegría de su señor. Hay que dedicarnos en esta Eucaristía a cosechar más con lo que se nos ha dado, y hacerlo todo por la Gloria de Dios. Que nosotros también podamos acercarnos al Maestro con confianza y amor cuando El venga y nos llame a dar cuentas. As members of Christ’s Body, the Church, we have a share in His prophetic, priestly & kingly mission. “Sharing in His prophetic mission, we come to know Christ and make Him known.

See you in the hall on the 19th. student adoption program Dear Friends of St. Rose of Lima, As many of you are aware, every fall the school sends out a letter asking that friends of the school consider donating to our Student Adoption Program. I know if you are like me, I receive countless donation requests that all support a great cause. There is a point where you have to say no. Still, consider the investment you are making if you contribute to Student Adoption Program. Most of us agree that our country is at a crossroads in its moral standards. As a Catholic Christian, it can become very frustrating listening to all the media talk about new laws, initiatives, and agendas by those who would love to take God out of the equation. Catholic schools not only provide a framework of excellent academic education for young men and women but also more importantly work with families to rise up future citizens that spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through their Catholic faith. How can you help? Like last year, some of our families are still experiencing many of the same economic challenges. The economy still seems to have a negative hold on some of them. In the past, many of you have been incredibly generous with your donations to help fund the Student Adoption Program. Once again we are asking for your assistance. Based on your support, we will be able to help 20 of our families with the cost of tuition. Gratefully, Mr. Jeff Saavedra (Principal) Estimados Amigos de Santa Rosa de Lima, Como tal vez ya sabe, cada otoño la escuela de Santa Rosa de Lima les escribe a los amigos de la escuela pidiendo que consideren dar una donación a nuestro programa de Adoptar un Estudiante. Por experiencia propia, se que seguramente ya reciben un sin fin de solicitudes para donativos y todas son para grandes causas. Hay un punto en el que tiene uno que decir que no. Aun así, le pido que considere la inversión que estaría haciendo si contribuye al Programa de Adoptar un Estudiante. La mayoría de nosotros estamos de acuerdo que nuestro país se encuentra en una encrucijada en cuanto a los valores morales. Como un Cristiano Católico, puede ser muy frustrante escuchar a los medios de comunicación hablar acerca de leyes nuevas, iniciativas y agendas de aquellos que preferirían echar a un lado a Dios. Las escuelas Católicas no solo proporcionan una base de educación académica excelente para los jóvenes, sino que, aún más importante, trabajan con las familias para crear a los futuros ciudadanos que difundirán la palabra de Jesucristo a través de su fe Católica. ¿Cómo puede usted ayudar? Algunas de nuestras familias siguen viviendo por las mismas situaciones económicas difíciles del año pasado. La economía sigue afectando negativamente a varias de ellas. En el pasado, muchos de ustedes han sido sumamente generosos con sus donativos hacia el Programa de Adoptar un Estudiante y una vez más estamos pidiendo su ayuda. Gracias a su apoyo, podremos ayudar a 20 de nuestras familias con los costos de colegiatura.
