Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
The goodness of the Lord
La bondad del Señor
Today’s readings and prayers remind us that we are
drawn to God by the goodness we witness in the world.
The Responsorial Psalm says this goodness is
achieved when we follow the precepts of the Lord which
“give joy to our hearts, refresh our souls, give wisdom to
the simple, endure forever and are ever true and just.”
When we live in the manner described above, God’s
goodness is manifest. This understanding causes us to
open our hearts to all who have been blessed by God’s
spirit. In the Old Testament reading, Moses realized
this when he reminded Joshua that God’s goodness is
not limited or limiting. It can be made apparent in many
different ways and situations. Jesus speaks to this issue also when he proclaims that, “No one who performs
a mighty deed in my name can at the same time speak
ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.” We
are encouraged to be open to the goodness we see in
unfamiliar places and refrain from being judgmental.
Jesus reminds us to focus on our own
behaviors, taking care to be fair and
just, and avoid leading others into sin. In
the epistle, Saint James gives the example of those who are in positions of power who have taken advantage of others,
amassing an earthly treasure. James
cautions that their gold and silver will
corrode and “that corrosion will be a testimony against [them]; it will devour
[their] flesh like a fire.”
The cautionary words in both the epistle
and gospel give us pause as we seek to
live God’s precepts, praying that he pardon and show mercy as we seek to be
“heirs to the treasures of heaven” (Collect).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos recuerdan que
somos atraídos a Dios por su bondad que se manifiesta
en el mundo. El Salmo Responsorial dice que esta bondad se lleva a cabo cuando seguimos los preceptos del
Señor y que estos preceptos son un “descanso del alma; el precepto del Señor es fiel.” Cuando vivimos como nos indica el Salmo, se manifiesta la bondad de
Dios. Al entender esto, abrimos nuestro corazón a todo
lo que ha sido bendecido por el espíritu de Dios. En la
lectura del Antiguo Testamento, Moisés se da cuenta de
esto cuando le recuerda a Josué que la bondad de Dios
no tiene límites, ni limita. Se puede manifestar de muchas diferentes maneras y en diversas situaciones. Jesús habla de esto cuando proclama que, “nadie que haga un milagro en mi nombre puede luego hablar mal de
mí. Pues el que no está contra nosotros está a favor
nuestro.” Busquemos estar abiertos a la bondad que
vemos en lugares que no son familiares y busquemos
no juzgar. Jesús nos recuerda que nos
enfoquemos en nuestro propio comportamiento, cuidar ser justos, y evitar encaminar a otros hacia el pecado. En su epístola, santo Santiago nos da un ejemplo de los
que están en posiciones de poder y que se
han aprovechado de los demás, acumulando tesoros en la tierra. Santo Santiago advierte que su oro y plata se oxidara y “este
óxido será un testimonio contra [ellos] y
corroerá sus carnes como fuego.” Las palabras de precaución en la epístola y en el
Evangelio son el motivo para buscar vivir
los preceptos de Dios, pidiéndole que nos
perdone y demuestre su misericordia cuando buscamos ser “herederos de los tesoros
del cielo.” (Colecta)

RCIA – Right of Christian Initiation of Adults
I lived most of my life as an atheist. I once
believed that because I went to school and
took science classes, I already knew everything about how the world and the universe
works. Who needs religion right? Well a
few years ago I married my wonderful wife who's Catholic. So I thought I would get in her good side and go to
church with her every week. So there I was sitting at the
back of the church and thinking wow what a nice group of
people. My wife then exclaimed "wow did you hear the
choir? I have to go sing with them!" So, thinking I would
really get some major points, I joined the choir with
her! Our amazing choir was so loving and welcoming
even though I wasn't Catholic! I left Mass every week
with such a wonderful feeling! Then my wife and I joined
the Living Matrimony small group and it was the same
heart warming experience! I then realized maybe science
class DIDN'T teach me everything I needed to know. So
last summer when it was announced that RCIA was starting, I wanted to go - but did I have to go "back to
school"? I was worried that I would be the weird guy in
class who didn't know anything. I didn't even know what
the word "Catholic" meant. But it wasn't like that at all,
there were people from all different faiths, even people
who were Catholic their entire lives but just wanted to
learn more. And we all shared a common bond, to grow
in our understanding of our faith and to connect with God.
It wasn't like going to school at all, because we all went
on a journey together learning about our faith, supporting
each other as a family. RCIA changed my life and the
way I see our community as a church family. So if there
is anyone out there who is thinking about RCIA but not
sure, I encourage you to go so you can experience it for
yourself! Ronald Fong, RCIA 2014-15
We meet Tuesdays at 7pm in the Santa Cruz Room.

Did you Know?
Back to school: keep communicating
School starting may make it harder
to have family time, but it is important to keep the lines of communication open during the rush of
sports, activities and schoolwork.
Ask your kids about their day – who
they talked to and what they did. Your kids should know
there’s nothing too embarrassing or scary to share with
you. One easy way to start a conversation with your child
is by talking to them in the car – they can be brief, private
and sometimes avoiding eye contact can help kids open
up. To get a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Back to School
– Talking With Your Kids” email: [email protected].

¿Sabia Usted?
De regreso a la escuela: mantengan
la comunicación
El regreso a la escuela puede hacer que el tiempo para la
familia sea más difícil, pero es importante mantener las
líneas de comunicación abiertas durante el ajetreo de
participar en deportes, actividades y hacer la tarea
escolar. Dígale a su hijo que le cuente lo que él o ella
hizo y con quien hablo durante el día. Su hijo debe saber
que puede decirle todo a usted y no debería tener miedo
ni pena de compartir sus pensamientos. Una manera fácil
de iniciar una conversación con su hijo es hablar cuando
están en el coche – puede ser algo breve y privado. A
veces, evitar el contacto visual ayuda a los niños a
sentirse más propensos a hablar. Para obtener una copia

Family to Family Needs Help
Family to Family is a nonsectarian non-profit
organization, formed originally by parishioners of Mission
Church, to serve hot nourishing meals to homeless and
needy of Ventura. It has been in operation for the past 33
years; presently serving at Catholic Charities site. The
Parishioners of Our Lady of Assumption have been serving on two days every month (2nd and 4th Sundays). The
cost of food served is the responsibility of each coordinator and is raised by soliciting food contributions, from volunteers who come to help serve. Due to family reason,
the coordinator for the second Sunday serving has relinquished her responsibility effective September of this
year. Family to Family is in need of a coordinator to take
over the 2nd Sunday feeding. If interested please call Pat
McLean at 805-658-2610.
