DISCIPLINE
It is no accident that the words “disciple” and “discipline” are
nearly identical. Their relationship in Christian faith and life,
however, has fallen somewhat out of favor in the past generation, as
certain prescribed Church rules and regulations have been reduced
and relaxed. These rules were often referred to as “disciplines.” We
are mistaken, however, to think that it no longer takes discipline to
follow Christ. The Letter to the Hebrews assures us of that today.
Our discipline is more like that of an athlete pursuing a victory or a
personal best, or a musician striving for a concert career or to
master a new piece of music. This discipline comes from desire, not
from regulations. It was the desire to do the will of God that led
Jesus on the path to his cross. It is that same desire he encourages
in us today: to strive to enter through the narrow gate, to find
ourselves in the kingdom with a surprising assortment of people
who are there not because of mere observation of rules, but out of a
genuine desire to recline at the table of the heavenly banquet.

DISCIPLINA
No es accidente que las palabras “discípulo” y “disciplina” sean
casi idénticas. Su relación en la fe y la vida cristianas, sin embargo,
ha caído en desuso en la generación pasada debido a que ciertas
reglas y regulaciones prescritas en la fe cristiana se han reducido o
relajado. Estas reglas con frecuencia eran llamadas “disciplinas”.
Nos equivocamos, sin embargo, si pensamos que ya no se necesita
disciplina para seguir a Cristo. La Carta a los Hebreos nos lo asegura hoy. Nuestra disciplina es como la de un atleta que persigue una
victoria o quiere ser el mejor, o como la de un músico que lucha por
hacer carrera como concertista o por perfección en la ejecución de
una nueva obra musical. Esta disciplina se basa en el deseo, no en
las reglas. Fue el deseo de hacer la voluntad de Dios lo que motivó
a Jesús en el camino hacia el calvario. Es ese mismo deseo el que él
inspira en nosotros hoy: luchar por entrar por la puerta angosta, para encontrarnos en el Reino con muchas personas que están allí no
solamente por observar las reglas, sino por un sincero deseo de reclinarse a la mesa del celestial banquete.

I am very grateful for the generous gifts of prayer, talents and
financial support that you share with our parish family
throughout the year. We are fortunate that many of our
parishioners respond with such generosity to the needs of our
faith community.
At present we have received $88,681 (638 donors) in pledges
toward our target of $81,800! Your gift will assist us in
reaching this request.
The DDF serves many people in ways that we, as an
individual parish, could not do. Social service ministries and
religious education for both youth and adults provide
continuity in our lifelong pursuit of a closer relationship
with God.
Please consider making a pledge in support of this effort.
Your gift is very important. May God continue to bless each
one of us and our faith community family.

The Catholic Bible Institute through Loyola Marymount University invites you to join their bible discussion series with
Dan Wilson as the lead facilitator. This is a 6-week program enabling the participants to purchase a text book and study guide for
$25 and then each week read the section assigned, write down their answers to the questions in the study guide and come back the
next week prepared to discuss what they read and wrote. Through this small group discussion process we are able to develop a
better understanding of the bible and how what was written applies to our lives today. In this session we will be studying the
parables of Matthew and Luke. Come join us and have a unique experience with your fellow St. Josephs parishioners. The series
will begin Thursday, October 6th and ends November 10th. The deadline to sign up for this series is September 15th. To sign up,
call the parish office at 909-981-8110 and ask for extension 12, (the RCIA extension) and leave your
message to be a participant. Your study material will then be ordered for which you can pay when the series begins.
Hope to see you then.

We present to our
St. Joseph Family our
New Youth Minister.
Jose Valencia
Jose brings a true passion
for youth and for
St. Joseph. We could not
imagine someone better to
lead this very important part of the life of our parish. He already has incredible connections with
our youth, plus he has the drive, the energy, the
vision, and the organizational skills needed to
continue providing a place where our youth can
find connections with each other, with the community of faith, and with God.
We are blessed by God, indeed! Welcome, Jose,
to this expanded form of a ministry you've
already been doing so well, for so long.
