FATHER ANTHONY’S FAITH FORMATION CORNER
A Word about Bishops The episcopal ordination for (auxiliary) Bishop-elect Thanh Thai Nguyen will take place in just a few days: December 19, 2017. For this occasion, I would like to touch on once again the topic I have already written earlier this year when Bishop Timothy Freyer was ordained… Bishops fall under either one of the two categories: they are either diocesan or titular. A diocesan bishop is a bishop of a see that exists. The word see, as in Holy See, comes from the Latin sedes which means “chair”—symbolic of the power of jurisdiction of a bishop. [Coincidentally the word cathedral comes from a Greek word meaning “to sit.” The cathedral, whose pastor is the diocesan bishop, is the main church of a diocese.] Essentially a see is a diocese, which is defined geographically in terms of particular territorial arrangements. Thus, Bishop K. Vann is the diocesan bishop of Orange; Pope Francis is the diocesan bishop of Rome, and so on. On the other hand, a titular bishop possesses a see that used to exist in the past, but is no longer in existence: hence, only a title, not a real see. The concept of titular sees/bishops originated after the 7th century when the Muslims took over North Africa and eventually, the Mediterranean. When the Muslims invaded North Africa, African bishops—at least those who were not martyred—had to flee to Europe and left behind their sees. Those sees left behind would fall into the hands of the Muslims and ceased to exist. But those exiled bishops were still bishops of those (titular) sees. Titular bishops traditionally were also known as bishops in partibus infideli- um: in the regions of the infidels. It must be noted that North Africa was very Christian prior to the Islamic invasion: having been home to some of the greatest thinkers of the Western theological tradition like Tertullian, St. Cyprian, and especially St. Augustine. Auxiliary, or assistant, bishops are titular: as in the case of our Bishop-elect Thanh Thai Nguyen. He will be the titular bishop of Acalissus—I have no idea where that was. Apostolic nuncios, those representing the Pope and the Holy See in other countries, would also be titular. Bishops who work in the Vatican without jurisdiction over any diocese would also fall under this category. Coadjutor bishops are titular too. Think of our former auxiliary bishop Cirilo Flores, now deceased, who was coadjutor bishop of San Diego a few years ago. A coadjutor has the automatic right to succession when the diocesan bishop retires. So when Bishop
Brom of San Diego retired, Cirilo automatically succeeded him. But as long as Brom was still in office, Cirilo’s see was only titular. Anyway, within our own diocese, just more than a week ago, retired auxiliary Bishop Dominic Luong has come back to the Lord. May he rest in peace! As we welcome a new auxiliary bishop, we sadly say good-bye to another one… All bishops, both Ro- man Catholic and Orthodox, are successors of the apostles. That is why our faith (as well as the Orthodox faith) is rightly called apostolic. As Bishop-elect Nguyen is about to begin his ministry as auxiliary bishop of Orange, we wish him all the best. May the Lord always accompany his chosen servant in this very important office as a successor of the Apostles! On his new ministerial WELCOME DEACON assignment to St.Barbara Church

A Christmas Message from our priests
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Advent, originally from the Latin Adventus, means “coming.” This four-week season begins with the first Sunday that falls on or closest to November 30th, and ends with our celebration of Christmas. This season of joyful prep- aration and anticipation has a two-fold meaning. First, it helps us to prepare ourselves spiritually for the com- memoration of the birth of Christ,
celebrated during the Christmas season. Secondly, it invites us to look forward to Christ’s Triumphal Second Coming at the end of time.
Therefore, all our spiritual work during this Advent Season is about renewing the bonds that bind us to one an- other and to the Lord. We also reach out with open hearts to build up our relationships with one another and with our God.
We wish you joy, peace, and love this Christmas season; and a blessed, happy New Year.
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Adviento viene del latín "Adventus" y significa "Venir". Esta temporada tiene cuatro semanas, la cual inicia con el primer domingo que está más cerca del 30 de noviembre y termina con nuestra celebración de Navi- dad. Esta temporada tiene una preparación de gran alegría y tiene dos caracteres importantes: Primero, nos ayuda a prepararnos espiritualmente para la conmemoración del nacimiento de Cristo durante la temporada navideña. Segundo, también nos ayuda a esperar la segunda venida triunfal de Cristo al final de los tiempos. Por tanto, nuestra tarea de esta temporada de Adviento es de renovar los lazos que nos unen al prójimo y al Señor Jesús. Y con corazones abiertos y dispuestos edifiquemos una buena relación con los demás y con el Señor.
En mi oración le pido a Dios que les conceda alegría, paz y amor en esta temporada navideña, y un bendito y feliz año nuevo.
Kính thưa Quý Cụ, Quý Ông Bà, và Anh Chị Em,
Mùa Vọng là thời gian chúng ta sửa soạn tâm hồn đón mừng Ngôi Hai xuống thế làm Người để cứu chuộc nhân loại mà chúng ta mừng vào Lễ Giáng Sinh. Đồng thời chúng ta cũng sẳn sàng để đón Chúa lại đến trong vinh quang của ngày tận thế.
Cộng Đoàn chúng ta tạo nhiều điều kiện giúp chúng ta tiến đến gần nhau và gần Chúa hơn như chương trình tĩnh huấn, các buổi Hòa Giải (Xưng Tội), và các Thánh Lễ. Kính mời Quý Vị đến tham dự. Chúng ta cùng cầu nguyện cho mỗi người trở thành một hang đá thật ấm cúng để Chúa Hài Đồng ngự đến.
Nguyện xin Chúa Hài Đồng Giêsu ban muôn Hồng Phúc cho Quý Vị và gia quyến trong Mùa Giáng Sinh, và một Năm Mới an bình, hạnh phúc.

Información: 714-323-3014 & 714-483-4706
¡ALÉGRATE! ¡Isaías realmente nos proclama una buena nueva! La venida del Señor no trae tristeza, culpa, miedo, ira ni condena. No, la venida del Señor es fuente de júbilo y consuelo. No basta con decirlo una vez, las lecturas de hoy están llenas de júbilo. El Magníficat de María reemplaza a nuestro salmo hoy y nuestra segunda lec- tura nos anima a alegrarnos, dar gracia y rendir alaban- za. Éste es el significado principal de la palabra griega para eucaristía. Se nos insta a alegrarnos y dar gracias, porque la venida del Señor trae júbilo, curación, liber- tad, perdón y vindicación. ¡Hace que la tierra eche brotes de vida nueva! ¡Buenas noticias!
