A Note from the Administrator...
Dear friends,
I don’t go to confession often --- just a few times a year.
But I know it’s made a difference in my self-awareness,
honesty and dependence on God.
The way I go to confession has changed dramatically. At
first I was much too concerned about stating individual
actions and omissions, how many times, etc. --- as if God
were interested in lists and ledgers and us being somehow
“squeaky-clean.”
Estimados Amigos,
Yo no voy a confesarme con frecuencia sólo unas pocas
veces al año. Pero sé que ha hecho una diferencia en mi
conciencia de mí mismo, la honestidad y la dependencia
de Dios.
La forma en que voy a confección ha cambiado drásticamente. Al principio estaba demasiado preocupado
por lo que iba indicar como las acciones individuales y
omisiones, cuántas veces, etc. --- como si Dios estuviera interesado en las listas y los libros de contabilidad y
nosotros siendo de alguna manera " absolutamente limpios."
Now when I go to the priest, I tell him what I see when I
look at myself --- gluttony, pride, lust, too wrapped up in
myself, childish when I feel criticized or threatened. It’s
so important now and then to take a good look at yourself
--- and then say to another believer what you see.
Ahora, cuando me presento con el sacerdote, le digo lo
que veo cuando me miro. La gula, el orgullo, la lujuria,
también envuelto en mí mismo, aniñado cuando me
siento criticado o amenazado. Es muy importante en
vez en cuando tomar una buen mirada a ti mismo y luego compartir con otro creyente lo que ves.
My vices haven’t disappeared just because I confessed
them. God forgives us --- that’s 100% certain --- and I
imagine God forgives us whether we run to confession or
not. But somehow, the saying of our sinfulness out loud
diminishes the power that our vices have in our lives.
Mis vicios no han desaparecido sólo porque yo las confesé. Dios nos perdona, eso es 100% seguro y me imagino que Dios nos perdona si nos confesamos o no.
Pero de alguna manera, el dicho de nuestros pecados en
voz alta disminuye el poder que nuestros vicios tienen
en nuestras vidas.
If you haven’t been to confession for a while, you might
consider that for this Advent. You can see in the bulletin
all the local parishes that are having Penance Services
between now and Christmas.
And our own parish is
having its service on December 21 (Monday) at 7 PM
Si usted no ha venido a confesión por un tiempo; lo
podría considerar este Adviento. Usted puede ver en el
boletín de todas las parroquias locales que están teniendo Servicios de Penitencia desde hoy hasta la Navidad.
Y nuestra parroquia tendrá su servicio el lunes, 21 de
diciembre a las 7 PM
Peace, All Good!
Fr. Mike
Paz y bien,
Padre Mike
PS For a number of years the family of
Joe Gonzales, as well as others from this
parish and area, has been ardent supporters
of TIJUANA OUTREACH. Next week at

chance to give financial support. What a
wonderful work this is!
P.D. Desde hace varios años la familia de
Joe Gonzales, así como otros de esta parroquia y del área, han sido partidarios ardientes
de TIJUANA ALCANCE. La próxima semana durante las misas voy a mostrar un video
de este ministerio y también darle nuestros
feligreses la oportunidad de dar apoyo financiero. ¡Qué servicio maravilloso es esto!
