FOSTERING A CULTURE OF VOCATIONS National Vocation Awareness Week celebrated Nov. 6-12

The in the United States will celebrate National Vocation Awareness Week, Nov. 6-12. This annual event is a special time for parishes in the U.S. to foster a culture of vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life. National Vocations Awareness Week, sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ (USCCB) Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations, is designed to help promote vocation awareness and to encourage young people to ask the question: "To what vocation in life is God calling me?" Parish and school communities across the nation are encouraged to include, during the first week in November, prayer and special activities that focus on vocation awareness. “Prayer for vocations is the responsibility of the entire Church. Often times we think that vocations will come from some- where else, and yet God invites us to consider that he is raising up vocations to priesthood, consecrated life, and the perma- nent diaconate from within our own communities, even our own families” said Bishop F. Burbidge, bishop designate of Arlington, Va., chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Clergy, Consecrated Life and Vocations. "Our willingness to in- vite those within our own communities and families to consider that God may be calling them to Priesthood or consecrated life will bear abundant fruit in the Church and bring great joy and happiness to those called. We want what is best for our children; even more so does God desire their happiness.” More information and resources for National Vocations Awareness Week, including a prayer card, suggested prayers of the faith- ful and bulletin-ready quotes are available online at: http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/vocations/national-vocation- awareness-week.cfm. For more information about vocational discernment in the Diocese of Sacramento, visit http://www.scd.org/ vocations/vocations.html.

POPE ADVANCES SAINTHOOD CAUSE FOR BISHOP ALPHONSE GALLEGOS, DECLARED VENERABLE Francis has advanced the sainthood cause of the late Bishop Alphonse Gallegos, who served as auxiliary bishop of Sacramento from 1981 until his death in an auto accident near Yuba City in 1991. He was particularly known for his ministry to farm workers and the poor and marginalized. In an audience with Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation of the Causes of , signed a de- cree on July 9 recognizing the heroic virtues of Bishop Gallegos, who will now be known as Venerable Alphonse Gallegos. It is the latest step in his cause, which was initiated 10 years ago. Kevin Eckery, spokesman for the Diocese of Sacramento, noted: “Bishop Gallegos touched so many people with his ministry. We are gratified to see his cause moving forward and will provide the (cause’s) postulator with any assistance he needs to complete his work.” Bishop Gallegos was known as the “bishop of the barrio” because of his work with the marginalized and the “lowrider” bishop because of his support for members of local modified-car clubs. He was particularly concerned about the poor, un- catechized young people, migrants and other people who lacked support from the community, and often spent his summer vacations living with farm workers in the Central Valley. Bishop will preside at a Mass of thanksgiving for Venerable Alphonse Gallegos on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 1:30 p.m. in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament in downtown Sacramento. Prior to the Mass, there will be a brief wreath-laying ceremony at Bishop Gallegos' statue at 1:15 p.m. The statue is located on 11th Street, between K and L Streets.

Domingo 6 de noviembre, 2016 REFLEXIÓN SOBRE EL MENSAJE DE HOY

Los siete hermanos de la primera lectura y del evangelio murieron. De ellos y de sus siete esposas se esperaba un futuro y la continuación de la vida. Como en el caso de los Macabeos, se elige a menudo el exterminio como solución de un mal: una nación elige acabar con la vecina, un grupo elimina a otro que le hace la competencia. Hacer desaparecer de la tierra, hacer desaparecer las huellas del otro para poder reinar sin ser molestados y sin resistencias, es la lógica del Maligno, su torbellino de violencia y de canalladas que destruyen la vida. La muerte, por otra parte, daría la razón a quien intenta acaparar la vida a cualquier precio –la propia y la de los otros–, como es el caso de los saduceos. La muerte sería la garantía de la licitud de todo intento de manipulación de la vida, a fin de que ésta sea perfecta, sin arrugas, siempre bella y acolchada. La muerte tiene el poder de sofisticar la vida y desnaturalizar su verdadero sabor. El engaño de la muerte consiste en esto: en la necesidad de dejar una huella duradera de nosotros mismos. Educa para acumular, para después tener que dejarlo todo: ¿cuántos hombres siguen vivos por sus «legados»? La resurrección, para el cristiano, es la resurrección de Jesús, o sea, el hecho de que Dios haya constituido «Señor y Cristo» al Crucificado, a aquel que murió de una muerte violenta, el que murió y fracasó. Es la relación con el Resucitado y con el Viviente lo que da valor a nuestra vida, es la esperanza del encuentro con él lo que nos lleva cada día a obrar bien, buscando perder la vida para encontrarla después, no mantenerla atada a nosotros. La muerte ya no es entonces dejar, sino encontrar, recibir, contemplar al autor de la vida, a aquel que nos la dio y la custodia en sus manos. Ser «ángeles» del Resucitado, anunciadores de su Señorío sobre el mundo: ésa es nuestra vida. Él, que fue despertado por el Padre la mañana del tercer día, vendrá a despertarnos del sueño de la muerte. En ese momento, ésta ya no tendrá poder alguno y todos sus encantamientos se desvanecerán porque la vida resurgirá para siempre. Los saduceos, facción judía conservadora, que viven del templo de Jerusalén, quieren poner una trampa a Jesús. Ellos no creen en la resurrección de los muertos; los fariseos sí. Proponen un caso concreto para discutir, pero lo llevan al absurdo: siete hombres desposan a una mujer. Jesús no entra en su juego sino que les lleva a lo fundamental: ¿en qué Dios creéis? Vosotros discutís normas y opiniones, olvidando que el Señor es un Dios de la Vida. Lo mismo nos puede pasar a los cristianos: ¿en qué Dios creemos? ¿Trabajamos por la vida aquí, en esta tierra, y nos abrimos al Dios de la Vida eterna? ------PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA Pregunta para los niños: Dios siempre permanece con ustedes, no importa qué pase. ¿Qué señales pueden ver que los ayuda a creer en eso? Pregunta para los jóvenes: Crecer está lleno de retos y decisiones, pero San Pablo te ofrece hoy la esperanza de que ¡Dios está contigo en todo! “Que el Señor gobierne sus corazones”, dice Pablo. ¿Cómo experimentas esta ayuda divina poderosa cuando enfrentas las decisiones en tu propia vida? Pregunta para los adultos: Tener fe en momentos difíciles es duro. ¿Qué los hace creer en la promesa de que Dios será su fuerza como lo dijo Pablo?
