EL AMOR ESTÁ EN LA ACCIÓN
¿Recibes la palabra de Dios con gozo, al igual que hicieron
los tesalonicenses? Su fe se reflejó en sus acciones. Se convirtieron en ejemplo para otros creyentes. La primera lectura
nos dice que pongamos nuestra fe en acción. Este pasaje es
parte de una larga lista de reglas que Dios impone a los israelitas para su observancia y para respetar su Ley. Dios nos
juzgará por cómo nosotros tratamos a nuestros semejantes.
Dios escuchará los llantos de todo aquel al que desatendemos
o maltratamos, y vendrá en su defensa. En el Evangelio de
hoy, los fariseos plantean la cuestión de la Ley de Dios.
“¿Cuál es el mandamiento más importante de la
Ley?” (Mateo 22:36). ¿Cómo es posible que él pueda elegir
de entre todos los detallados mandamientos que los judíos
observaban? ¡Sin duda que ofendería a alguien con su respuesta! Sin embargo, Jesús fue directo al grano. El amor es
el más grande de todos los mandamientos, el amor de Dios y
el amor del prójimo. Todo lo demás se basa en esto.
LOVE SHOWN IN ACTION
Do you receive the word of God with joy as the Thessalonians did? Their faith showed in their actions.
They became models for other believers. The first reading
tells us to put our faith into action. This passage is part of
a long list of ordinances God commanded the Israelites to
observe. God will judge us by how we treat our neighbors. God will hear the cries of any whom we neglect or
mistreat and will come to their defense. In today’s Gospel
the Pharisees put the question of God’s law to Jesus.
“Which commandment of the law is the greatest?” (Matthew 22:36) How could he possibly choose
from all the detailed commandments the Jews observed?
He was sure to offend somebody by his answer! Of
course, Jesus went right to the heart of the matter. Love is
the greatest commandment—love of God and love of
neighbor. Everything else is based on this.

catechesis. It's Catholic middle school youth
ministry that helps young people with life's
most challenging year. Edge is a fun, safe place
where teens can spend time with their Catholic friends. Where they
can get answers to their unanswered questions about their Catholic
faith. Where they can experience Jesus Christ in a profound, personal
way. And where they can feel like they are important to everyone
else in the parish. Edge invites all Middle School kids to the Edge
program.
Life Teen is an international Catholic movement
that serves the Church and leads teens closer to
Christ by providing resources and training that

A Special Invitation from the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
ALL SOULS EVENING PRAYER AND CONCERT AT THE CATHEDRAL
FEATURING the Duruflé Requiem
All Souls, or the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, is a time to remember our departed loved ones.
Through prayer for our family and friends, we erase the distance of death and stand in God's presence with those who have
gone on. The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels will observe All Souls with a performance of Duruflé’s poignant Requiem
for chorus and organ. Frank Brownstead, Director of Music at the Cathedral, will conduct, with Samuel Soria at the organ.
The Evening Prayer and concert will be held on Sunday, November 2, 2014, in the Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels 555 W. Temple St.,Los Angeles, CA 90012. Evening Prayer will begin at 4pm followed by the concert. After the concert, the Choir will
continue the music in the Mausoleum as people visit their family and friends. This event is free and open to the general public and a free will
donation will be accepted. Tickets are not needed. Secure parking is provided at the Cathedral for $8.00. For additional information visit the Cathedral website at www.olacathedral.org or call (213) 680-5200.
Did You Know?
Talk with your children about safety at the
school. “Back-to-school does not have to mean
back-to-worrying. Though safety inside school is
ultimately the responsibility of the principal and
school staff, parents can take a few basic steps to
ensure a safe school experience.” Talk with your
child about safety. Be specific. Talk about instinct
and paying attention to funny feelings of fear. Explain what to do if he/she doesn't feel safe (find a
teacher, call 911, etc.). Make sure he/she knows
how to contact you or a trusted neighbor who is
likely to be at home. For more information, please
visit http://www.scholastic.com/parents/
resources/article/parent-teacher-partnerships/6-
¿Sabía Usted?
Platique con sus hijos sobre la seguridad en la escuela. “El regreso a la escuela no tiene que significar regreso a la preocupación. Aunque la seguridad adentro
de la escuela es finalmente la responsabilidad del director y del personal de la escuela, los padres de familia pueden tomar unos pocos pasos básicos para asegurar una experiencia escolar segura”. Platique con su
hijo/a sobre la seguridad. Sea específico. Platique sobre el instinto y poner atención a los sentimientos raros de miedo. Explique qué hacer si él/ella no se siente
seguro/a (busque a un maestro, llame al 911, etc.).
Asegúrese que él/ella sepa como contactar a sus padres o a un vecino de confianza que con seguridad
vaya a estar en casa. Para más información, por favor
visite http://www.scholastic.com/parents/

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Sadly, one of the most difficult reforms of the Second Vatican Council for the Church to
embrace has been one of the most thorough and beautiful: the sacrament of penance. Because it is individual and private, it has been difficult for the changes to take root. Sometimes a priest may be grounded in the earlier form, and at other times the penitent may
resist the priest’s attempt to blend in the proper texts and rituals. Perhaps because the new
form is almost identical in structure to the old, it has been difficult to institute. It may also
be true that with the liturgy in English now, it is far clearer that the Eucharist, too, is a
“sacrament of reconciliation.” It is certainly true that there are different skills and gifts in
ministry, and experienced penitents know that not all priests are equally at ease in this sacramental encounter. Sometimes a difficult experience can drive people away from a liturgy
that is spiritually rich and rewarding. Yet we know that one bad meal seldom puts people
off restaurants forever: the dinner gong tends to dispel bad memories, and so we try again.
Individual confession and absolution are for us both treasures and traditions. If you haven’t
been for a while, consider coming back to praise God for this gift of mercy.
Vamos a Reflexionar sobre la Palabra de Dios
Living God’s Word
It is difficult to love, especially
when we have been hurt by
others. Ask the Holy Spirit to
bring you the “fire of God’s
love.” Call on the Spirit to
deepen your awareness of
God’s love for you, shown by
giving us life and the gifts of
faith, hope, and love.
Let’s Reflect on God’s Word
Un cordial y fraternal saludo a todos ustedes queridos amigos (as) en el Señor
a nombre del P. Cesar y el P. Walter.
En este Trigésimo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario reflexionaremos sobre el tema una “labor de amor.”
En la Primera lectura del Éxodo: “Si el pobre me implora,
lo escuchare, porque soy compasivo.”
¿Cuantas personas conoces que puedes describir con la
palabra compasiva?...
La segunda lectura dela Carta de Tesalonicenses: Por tu
bien, sabes qué po de personas te rodean…
¿Hay alguien a quien le debas tu graƟtud o tus oraciones?...
A cordial and fraternal greeƟng to all of you, dear
friends, in the Lord's name from Fr. Cesar and
Fr. Walter.
On this Thir eth Sunday in Ordinary Time we will reflect
about a “labor of love”.
The first reading from Exodus: "If the poor implore me, I
listen, for I am compassionate."
How many people do you know that you can describe
with the word compassionate? ...
Les damos las gracias a todas las personas, que a lo largo
de la fiesta en honor a San Judas Tadeo, que desplegaron
una labor de amor a Dios, a su comunidad, y a su iglesia.
Que el Señor de la vida, los siga bendiciendo con
abundantes gracias.
We thank all the people that throughout the Fiesta in
honor of St. Jude Thaddeus displayed a labor of love to
God, their community, and their church. May the Lord of
life, conƟnue to bless you with abundant graces.
The second reading from the Le er of Thessalonians: For
your sake, do you know what kind of people surround
you ... Is there someone who you owe graƟtude or prayers? …
En el Evangelio de Mateo: “Deberás amar al Señor, tu Dios, Gospel of Ma hew: "You shall love the Lord your God
con todo tu corazón, alma y mente.”
with all your heart, soul and mind."
¿De cuantas formas has expresado tu amor hoy? ¿Quienes How many ways have you expressed your love today?
son los beneficiarios de tu amor?
Who are the beneficiaries of your love?
TESOROS DE NUESTRA FE
Vivamos la Palabra de Dios
Amar es difícil, sobre todo cuando nos han herido. Pídele al
Espíritu Santo que te conceda “el
fuego del amor de Dios”. Recurre
al Espíritu para que te haga más
profundamente consciente del
amor de Dios por ti, que te ha
demostrado al darte la vida y los
dones de la fe, la esperanza y el
amor.
En tiempos pasados, cuando los fieles latinoamericanos se enfermaban gravemente se
mandaba traer al sacerdote para que le administrara los “santos óleos” o la
“extremaunción”. Nadie quería ver a un sacerdote acercársele con los óleos porque significaba que uno estaba por morir. Gracias a Dios, las reformas del Concilio Vaticano II han
regresado al sacramento de la Unción de los Enfermos su sentido original. Este sacramento es celebrado para todos los que tengan alguna enfermedad seria, aunque no sea de
muerte. El sacramento es para pedir consuelo para el enfermo y si es voluntad de Dios, la
salud. Este sacramento no debe ser reservado para preparar al paciente para la muerte. El
Apóstol Santiago, en su carta a los cristianos, nos dice que si uno de nosotros está enfermo
que llame al presbítero de la Iglesia para que lo unja con óleo o aceite santo. Y añade que
la oración hecha con fe perdonará los pecados del enfermo y lo sanará para que recupere
su vida cotidiana. Este sacramento, como todos los sacramentos, son para la vida, tanto la
vida cotidiana como lo vida eterna.
