February 22, 2015 1st Sunday of Lent Holy Name of Mary Parish Serving San Dimas and La Verne and surrounding communities Staffed by the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary TOGETHER IN MISSION Today is Together in Mission Sunday, where we celebrate the ripple effect of our giving and affirm our parish commitment to “live the love of Jesus”. The annual Together in Mission appeal is love in action as it allows us to share our gifts with the poorest parishes and schools in our community. This important diocesanwide program helps fund 80 poor parishes and 63 schools where children, like our own, embrace shared values of growing in Christ and developing to their full potential. Our contributions ensure children all across the diocese have access to Faith Formation programs as alive and love filled as our programs here at Holy Name. All contributions to Together In Mission are donor restricted and feed directly to the parishes and schools requiring financial assistance. While other dioceses are closing schools and churches, Together In Mission allows us to ensure that parishes remain open and growing! Today, we ask you to consider making a meaningful, sacrificial commitment to Together In Mission and to pledge your financial support. Strengthened by your continued generosity, giving to those you may never see, people will look on us as Disciples of Jesus and say “see how they loved one another”. Page 2 Holy Name of Mary Parish February 22, 2015 My dear sisters and brothers, Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas, I am grateful that Charlie Martinez can remind us that it is only TOGETHER that we are in mission. This year if we choose to fast may it be like Cardinal Tagle of the Philippines said – fast 2 feed. Agradezco mucho de que Charlie Martínez nos recuerde de que estando sólo JUNTOS es que estamos en misión. Este año si elegimos a ayunar qeu sea como el cardenal Tagle de Filipinas dijo – Ayunar para alimentar. Our age of affluence strives to avoid pain and discomfort at all costs. We begin this season of Lent by asking ourselves what meaning the cross has for an age of affluence? I have come to understand the fundamental message of the cross is not suffering but that we ourselves would love so much that we would be prepared to suffer with and even for someone because of love. It is not the physical death of Jesus which is redemption but the love of Jesus for us unto death that is Christianity in this day and age is a new way to inject love into the messiness of our crosses. En esta época de prosperidad nos esforzamos por evitar el dolor y las molestias a toda costa. Empezamos esta temporada de Cuaresma por preguntarnos: qué significado tiene tiene la cruz para esta era de prosperidad? He llegado a entender que el mensaje fundamental de la cruz no es estar sufriendo, sino que nosotros mismos amemos tanto que estaríamos dispuestos a sufrir con, e incluso para alguien por amor. No es la muerte física de Jesús, la que es la redención, sino el amor de Jesús hacia nosotros hasta la muerte lo que es el cristianismo en este día y la era es una nueva manera de inyectar amor en el desorden de nuestras cruces. O God, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of the sheep, we pray: Oh Dios, que resucitó de entre los muertos a nuestro Señor Jesús, el gran Pastor de las ovejas, te pedimos: For those whose crucifixions continue with no Easter in sight – Tortured prisoners; abused children; battered women; stricken families of the disappeared; homeless poor; imperiled refugees; victims of discrimination and oppression; victims of war Por aquellos cuyas crucifixiones continuan sin Pascua a la vista Prisioneros torturados; niños víctimas de abusos; mujeres maltratadas; familias afectadas por los desaparecidos; pobres sin techo; refugiados en peligro; víctimas de la discriminación y la opresión; víctimas de la guerra Take your people to the world’s crosses to take people down. Toma tu pueblo de las cruces del mundo para poner a la gente abajo de ella. We pray for those who continue the crucifixions with no light in sight – Because they think people deserve what they dish out; because they are just obeying orders; because they are just doing their jobs; because they are getting rid of troublemakers; because they are defending national security; because they are protecting sacred values as they define them. Oramos por aquellos que continúan las crucifixiones sin luz a la vista Porque piensan que las gentes se merecen lo que infligen; porque están obedeciendo órdenes; porque simplemente están haciendo su trabajo; porque se están deshaciendo de alborotadores; porque están defendiendo la seguridad nacional; porque están protegiendo los valores sagrados, a como ellos los entienden. Take us people to the world’s hurters to free them from their own bondage. Saca a tu pueblo del mundo dominante para liberarlos de su propia esclavitud. We pray for those who languish in tombs with no light in sight – Tombs of their own depression and despair; tombs of their own ignorance and misconception; tombs of their own narrowness and provincialism; tombs of their own isolation and accommodation; tombs of their own prejudice and bitterness Oramos por aquellos que languidecen en las tumbas sin luz a la vista Tumbas de su propia depresión y la desesperación; tumbas de su propia ignorancia y malentendido; tumbas de su propia estrechez y provincialismo; tumbas de su propio aislamiento y alojamiento; tumbas de sus propios prejuicios y la amargura We adore you O Christ and praise you because by your Holy Cross you continue to redeem the world. With a renewed desire to help you carry your cross, with love, Fr. Rich, SS.CC. Te adoramos oh Cristo y te bendecimos, porque por tu santa Cruz continúas redimiento al mundo. Con un renovado deseo de ayudarle a llevar su cruz, con amor, Padre Rich, SS.CC. 1st Sunday of Lent February 22, 2015 Sat. 5:00 WM Leonor Herdocia, Jose Ocampo, Int.

There are more than 700 references to water in Holy Scripture, but as we begin our Lenten journeys, our concentration needs to be on our own Baptism and our personal Baptismal call. Stewardship has been defined as our response to that Baptismal call through discipleship and service. Just as Jesus entered the desert for 40 days, we are doing the same during Lent. Defining our Baptismal call is part of what we should be striving to do at this time. Baptism calls us to a sense of mission. Another key word in today’s scripture is “covenant.” The reading from Genesis speaks to God’s covenant with us, His people. A covenant, nevertheless, is a two-way street. God has blessed us with the Holy Spirit and the Lord has promised us everlasting life if we fulfill His desires. It is time for us to discover how we are going to live out our covenant with God. Financial Stewardship: Thank you for your generosity to Holy Name of Mary Parish! February 22, 2015 Juntos en Misión Todas las parroquias participan en la campaña de cada año.

The Raising of the Steel Beams for the Roof On February 16, 2015, the positioning of the large steel roof beams for the new hall was begun. This phase in construction is an important indicator for the remainder of the project. The beams will indicate the height and shape of the roof and add to the development of our visual image of the hall. The beams join and complement the exterior walls that we have watched being built, the hall will now move closer to forming an enclosed structure. It is an exciting time for the parish as the construction continues towards the planned completion in July. Watching the placement of the beams leads to thoughts of how they will shelter those who use the hall for generations to come. We can imagine the many diverse functions and prayers that will be held and said under this roof. We, the present parishioners, have a special warm feeling about the progress of construction. Each brick, each trowel of mortar and each reinforcement bar we have seen take its position brings to mind the years it has taken to reach this point. The efforts have been special and they are creating a very special place. Memories of all types will occur in the hall that will have very special meaning for the participants. The highest point of the building will soon be reached. An unspoken feeling of achievement is evident in each parishioner’s heart as they observe the physical product of their long and often difficult efforts.
