27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C, October 6th, 2019 Rose Kennedy was the mother of the Kennedy clan, which included John Kennedy who went on to become President of the United States. She was a woman of great faith. And how she needed that faith! She saw two of her sons assassinated. Speaking about faith, she said in an interview on one occasion: “I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith. If God were to take away all the blessings, health, wealth, intelligence, and leave me with just one gift, I would ask for faith – because with faith in God, in His goodness, mercy, love for me, and belief in everlasting life, I believe I could still be happy, trustful, leaving all to God’s inscrutable providence. It is impossible to exaggerate the value of faith. Faith gives meaning to life. Faith is trust, not certainty. And faith doesn’t shield us from the hard knocks of life or death. Faith keeps us going in difficult times. In the gospel, the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith. The response of Jesus was that they only needed faith the size of a mustard seed. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Those with a grain of faith never lose hope.” When I visited the Holy Land few years ago, I was privileged to see mustard seeds for the first time. It is a tiny seed, not the smallest of all seeds but certainly one of the smallest. Jesus needs only the littlest faith from us in order to use it for something big. That is why St. Paul reminded Timothy not to let go of the faith he received. No matter how small it appears, if he fans it, the little amber of fire will get bigger and his faith will grow. Many of us can ask Jesus for this same favor. Paul’s word of encouragement to young Timothy appeared to have come when Timothy was having difficulty with his life as a missionary. Paul reminded Timothy that the spirit he received was not a spirit of cowardice and that he must not be ashamed to testify to his faith. What a strong reminder of what we are to be doing in our world today. How long, O Lord? I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not intervene. Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? (Habakkuk 1:2-3) These words sound more like a cry of despair and abandonment. There were bad and horrible things happening at the time of the Prophet Habakkuk. There was hatred, violence, and war. However, God does not abandon his people for he is the hope of the one who has faith in him. The prophet also spoke some reassuring words that God’s promises may seem to be late but it will come: “If it delays, wait for it, will surely come, it will not be late. The rash one has no integrity; but the just one, because of his faith, shall live” (Habakkuk 2:4). When we look around the world and around us, what do we see? Like in the time of Habakkuk, we may find things not going right. There is hatred, violence, war, terrorism and many other evil. There is not much respect for life. It is easy to get discouraged. Yet, the Christian is called not to lose hope but to have faith. Respect Life Sunday: Today being the first Sunday of October is Respect Life Sunday. The church invites each of us to think about the sanctity of life and pray for life in all its form. We are called to promote life from the moment of conception to natural death and all that is in between. The U.S. bishops in 1998 in Living the Gospel of Life said, “We must begin with a commitment never to intentionally kill, or be complicit in the killing of any innocent human life, no matter how broken, unformed, disabled or desperate that life may seem” (#20). The bishops also said: “To focus on the evil of deliberate killing in abortion and euthanasia is not to ignore the many other urgent conditions that demean human dignity and threaten human rights. Opposing abortion and euthanasia does not excuse indifference to those who suffer from poverty, violence, and injustice. Any politics of human life must work to resist the violence of war and the scandal of capital punishment. Any politics of human dignity must seriously address issues of racism, poverty, hunger, employment, education, housing and health care" (#22). October, Month of Mary and the Rosary: The month of October is also the month of Mary and the Rosary. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is our model on the issues of life. She nurtured and cared for the baby in her womb even though she did not fully understand what was going to happen to her and how the child will affect her. She was there at the foot of the cross by the side of her son gazing lovingly but painfully at him before his death. I invite you all to pray the rosary this month for greater respect for the human life from conception to natural death. Let us not be discouraged. Let us keep praying for the conversion of those who do have no respect for life. Acknowledgment and Gratitude: I am very grateful to all of you, my dear parishioners and staff of the parish for the immense show of love and prayers on my birthday last week. I appreciate your presence and your presents. It was indeed a very happy day for me. Someone said on my birthday at 50, I am now over the cliff. My response is that I will stay on top of that cliff for a long time before descending. So help me God! You are my blessings, and I thank you all so much! Fr. Felix I. Osasona, MSP Pastor

Transubstantiation – the idea that during Mass, the bread and wine used for Com- Coming soon… munion become the body and blood of Jesus Christ – is central to the Catholic faith. Indeed, the Catholic Church teach- es that “the Eucharist is ‘the source and summit of the Christian life.” But a new Pew Research Center survey finds that most self-described Catho- lics don’t believe this core teaching. In fact, nearly seven-in-ten Catholics (69%) say they personally believe that during Catholic Mass, the bread and wine used in Communion “are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.” Just one-third of U.S. Catholics (31%) say they believe that “during Catholic Mass, the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus.” To ensure a proper understanding, and to deepen our ap- Suffering Church preciation of this precious gift, the new study from Scott Letter to a Hahn (pictured) will be coming in January.

Breaking Open the Word for Families for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time by Ginger Herrignton * Reading 1: The Lord promises: the just one, because of his faith, shall live. The prophet Habakkuk complains to the Lord that He seems not to listen. God reassures Habakkuk that He is, indeed listening, but He answers in His own time. We are called to cry out to the Lord in good times and in bad and then to wait patiently, confident that He loves us and will answer. We may not receive the answer we expect or want, but God knows what is best for us. We are called to accept His silence and His response in the faith that He knows us better than we know ourselves, and He knows what we need. The Lord loves us! Keep that good news in mind when you pray. * Reading 2: Paul encourages Timothy to cooperate with the grace he has been given. Paul exhorts Timothy to remember that in receiving the sacraments, Timothy has received graces from God: a spirit of power and love and self-control. Paul advises him to bear his share of hardship for the Gospel, for what does Jesus say to His disciples? “Pick up your cross and follow Me.” That cross is not meant to be easy, but we can rest easy knowing that the Holy Trinity help us to bear that cross. God makes possible what He asks of us, but we are to do our part. Does this sound like work? Sure it does! The state of our souls depend upon us working out our salvation. * Gospel: We have done what we were obliged to do. As Jesus ascended into Heaven, He charged His followers to “Love one another.” What exactly does this look like in your life? Remember the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy, excellent ways of loving our neighbor; in this way, we grow in faith and love for the Lord. Corporal: Feed the hungry; give drink to the thirsty; clothe the naked; shelter the homeless; visit the sick and those in prison; and bury the dead. Spiritual: Admonish sinners; instruct the ignorant; counsel the doubtful; bear wrongs patiently; forgive others willingly; comfort the afflicted and the sorrowful; and pray for the living and the dead. Keep your eyes on the prize - eternal happiness with God in Heaven – and work hard to win that prize. Scan the QR code with your smartphone To access the full and complete text.

27o Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario, Año C, 6 de Octubre de 2019 Rose Kennedy era la madre del clan Kennedy, que incluía a John Kennedy que se convirtió en presiden- te de los Estados Unidos. Era una mujer de gran fe. ¡Y cómo necesitaba de esa fe! ya que vio a dos de sus hijos asesinados. Hablando de fe, en una ocasión dijo en una entrevista: "He llegado a la conclusión de que el elemento más importante en la vida humana es la fe. Si Dios quitara todas las bendiciones, la salud, la riqueza, la inteligencia y me dejara con un solo don, pediría fe, porque con fe en Dios, en Su bondad, misericordia, amor por mí, y creer en la vida eterna, podría ser feliz , confiado, dejando todo a la providencia inescrutable de Dios. Es imposible exagerar el valor de la fe. La fe da sentido a la vida. La fe es confianza, no certeza. Y la fe no nos protege de los duros golpes de la vida o la muerte. La fe nos mantiene en tiempos difíciles. En el Evangelio, los discípulos le pidieron a Jesús que aumentara su fe. La respuesta de Jesús fue que sólo necesitaban fe del tamaño de una semilla de mostaza. Mahatma Gandhi dijo una vez: "Aquellos con un grano de fe nunca pierden la esperanza". Cuando visité Tierra Santa hace unos años, tuve el privilegio de ver semillas de mostaza por primera vez. Es una semilla diminuta, no la más pequeña de todas las semillas, pero sin duda una de las más pequeñas. Jesús sólo necesita la fe más pequeña de nosotros para usarla para algo grande. Es por eso que San Pablo le recordó a Timoteo que no soltara la fe que recibió. No importa lo pequeño que parezca, si sabe esperar, el pequeño ámbar de fuego se hará más grande y su fe crecerá. Muchos de nosotros podemos pedirle a Jesús este mismo favor. La palabra de aliento de Pablo al joven Timoteo parecía haber llegado cuando Timoteo estaba teniendo dificultades con su vida como misionero. Pablo le recordó a Timoteo que el espíritu que recibió no era un espíritu de cobardía y que no debe avergonzarse de testificar de su fe. Qué fuerte recordatorio de lo que vamos a hacer en nuestro mundo hoy. ¿Cuánto tiempo, Señor? ¡Lloro por ayuda, pero tú no escuchas! Te grito: "¡Violencia!", pero tú no intervienes. ¿Por qué me de- jas ver la ruina; ¿por qué debo mirar la miseria? (Habakkuk 1:2-3) Estas palabras suenan más como un grito de desesperación y abandono. Había cosas malas y horribles sucediendo en la época del profeta Habakkuk. Había odio, violencia y guerra. Sin embargo, Dios no abandona a su pueblo porque es la esperanza de quien tiene fe en él. El profeta también pronunció algunas palabras tranquilizadoras de que las promesas de Dios pueden parecer llegar tarde, pero llegará: "Si se retrasa, espérala, seguramente vendrá, no será tarde. El sarpullido no tiene integridad; pero el justo, a causa de su fe, vivirá" (Habakkuk 2:4). Cuando miramos alrededor del mundo y nos rodean, ¿qué vemos? Como en la época de Habakkuk, podemos encontrar que las cosas no van bien. Hay odio, violencia, guerra, terrorismo y muchos otros males. No hay mucho respeto por la vida. Es fácil desanimarse. Sin embargo, el cristiano está llamado a no perder la esperanza, sino a tener fe. Domingo de Respetar la Vida: Hoy es el primer domingo de octubre de respetar la vida. La iglesia nos invita a cada uno de nosotros a pensar en la santidad de la vida y a orar por la vida en toda su forma. Estamos llamados a promover la vida desde el momento de la concepción hasta la muerte natural y todo lo que hay en el medio. Los obispos de los Estados Unidos en 1998 en Vivir el Evangelio de la Vida dijeron: "Debemos comenzar con el compromiso de no matar intencionalmente, o ser cómplices en el asesinato de cualquier vida humana inocente, no importa cuán rota, sin forma, discapacitada o desesperada de que la vida pueda parecer" (#20). Los obispos también dijeron: "Centrarse en el mal de la matanza deliberada en el aborto y la eutanasia no es ignorar las muchas otras condiciones urgentes que degradan la dignidad humana y amenazan los derechos humanos. Oponerse al aborto y la eutanasia no justifica la indiferencia hacia quienes sufren de pobreza, violencia e injusticia. Cualquier política de la vida humana debe trabajar para resistir la violencia de la guerra y el escándalo de la pena capital. Cualquier política de dignidad humana debe abordar seriamente las cuestiones del racismo, la pobreza, el hambre, el empleo, la educación, la vivienda y la atención de la salud" (#22). Octubre, Mes de María y Rosario: El mes de octubre es también el mes de María y el Rosario. María, la madre de Jesús, es nuestro modelo sobre los temas de la vida. Ella nutrió y cuidó al bebé en su vientre a pesar de que no entendía completamente lo que le iba a pasar y cómo el niño la afectaría. Ella estaba allí al pie de la cruz al lado de su hijo mirándolo con amor pero dolorosamente antes de su muerte. Os invito a todos a rezar el rosario este mes por un mayor respeto por la vida humana desde la concepción hasta la muerte natural. No nos desanimemos. Sigamos orando por la conversión de aquellos que no tienen respeto por la vida. Reconocimiento y gratitud: Os estoy muy agradecido a todos ustedes, queridos feligreses y personal de la parroquia por la inmensa muestra de amor y oraciones en mi cumpleaños de la semana pasada. Aprecio su presencia y sus regalos. Fue un día muy feliz para mí. Alguien dijo que en mi cumpleaños que a los 50, ahora estoy sobre el acantilado. Mi respuesta es que me mantendré en la cima de ese acantilado durante mucho tiempo antes de descender. ¡Así que ayúdame Dios! ¡Ustedes son mis bendiciones, y les agradezco mucho a todos!
