Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Anticipating our heavenly home
Anticipando nuestra casa celestial
Today’s readings and prayers remind us that we are
called to be saints. This is an ongoing journey as we
negotiate the trials of our world. We are reminded in
the gospel to live lives of merciful love. The beatitudes
call us to become one with our brothers and sisters who
are hurting and in need. This is the path to sainthood.
Today’s Preface lifts our hearts to God as we pray and
“celebrate the festival of your city, the heavenly Jerusalem, where the great array of our brothers and sisters
already gives you eternal praise.” We are reminded that
we are “pilgrims advancing by faith, rejoicing in the glory bestowed upon those exalted members of the
Church through whom you give us, in our frailty, both
strength and good example.” What a beautiful grace –
knowing that there are so many people, all the saints in
heaven, who are interceding on our behalf. Saint John
encourages us saying, “Beloved, we are God’s children
now, what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We
do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him,
for we shall see him as he is.”
When we pause and realize that
all the holy people who have
gone before us are experiencing
this beatific vision, we are overwhelmed. All of the recognized
saints and those millions of others which include our families
and friends join us in prayer as
we “implore God’s grace, so
that, coming to perfect holiness
in the fullness of [His] love, we
may pass from this pilgrim table
to the banquet of our heavenly
homeland” (Prayer After Communion).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos recuerdan que
somos llamados a ser santos. Esta es una jornada continua al ir navegando en las tribulaciones de nuestro
mundo. Recordamos en el Evangelio que debemos vivir
la vida con un amor misericordioso. Las bienaventuranzas nos llaman a ser uno con nuestros hermanos y hermanas quienes sufren y tienen necesidad. Este es el
camino a la santidad. El prefacio de hoy eleva nuestros
corazones a Dios al orar y “celebrar la gloria de todos
los Santos, asamblea de la Jerusalén celestial que eternamente te alaba.” Recordamos que somos “peregrinos
en la tierra, nos encaminamos alegres, guiados por la fe
y animados por la gloria de los mejores hijos de la Iglesia; en ellos encontramos ejemplo y ayuda para nuestra
debilidad.” Que hermosa gracia – saber que hay tantas
personas, todos los santos en el cielo, quienes interceden por nosotros. San Juan nos motiva al decir,
“Queridos, ahora somos hijos de Dios y aún no se ha
manifestado lo que seremos. Sabemos que, cuando se
manifieste, seremos semejantes a él
porque le veremos tal cual es.” Cuando nos detenemos y pensamos en
todos los santos que se han ido antes
de nosotros y están experimentando
esta visión sublime, nos conmocionamos. Todos los santos reconocidos y
los millones de santos de nuestras
familias y amigos se unen en oración
cuando “imploramos a su gracia, por
lo que, viniendo a la santidad perfecta
en la plenitud de tu amor, pasamos de
esta mesa de peregrino para el banquete de nuestra patria celestial." (Oración después de la Comunión)

RCIA – Right of Christian Initiation of Adults
I lived most of my life as an atheist. I once
believed that because I went to school and
took science classes, I already knew everything about how the world and the universe
works. Who needs religion right? Well a
few years ago I married my wonderful wife who's Catholic. So I thought I would get in her good side and go to
church with her every week. So there I was sitting at the
back of the church and thinking wow what a nice group of
people. My wife then exclaimed "wow did you hear the
choir? I have to go sing with them!" So, thinking I would
really get some major points, I joined the choir with
her! Our amazing choir was so loving and welcoming
even though I wasn't Catholic! I left Mass every week
with such a wonderful feeling! Then my wife and I joined
the Living Matrimony small group and it was the same
heart warming experience! I then realized maybe science
class DIDN'T teach me everything I needed to know. So
last summer when it was announced that RCIA was starting, I wanted to go - but did I have to go "back to
school"? ...Please visit our website , www.olaventura.com
to continue the story!
We meet Tuesdays at 7pm in the Santa Cruz Room.
For more information contact Deacon Don & Diana Huntley via email at [email protected] or by phone at (805)

Did you Know?
Monitor online activity on all devices
In the past, parents had been advised to place the family
computer in an open area such as a kitchen or family
room so that they may easily monitor activity. Today,
most social contact, especially among young people, is
conducted almost exclusively on smart phones and tablets. Technology continues to rapidly change. All of us
must continue our efforts to stay
abreast of the many new mobile
device apps that may be used by
young people to communicate with
others and could potentially be
used to manipulate or abuse them.

Monitoree en línea la actividad de todos los aparatos
En el pasado, se ha advertido a los padres de familia que
coloquen la computadora de la familia en un área abierta
como la cocina o el cuarto de descanso familiar para que
ellos puedan monitorear con facilidad toda actividad. En
la actualidad, la mayor parte del contacto social,
especialmente entre los jóvenes, es conducida casi
exclusivamente a través de los teléfonos celulares y las
tabletas. La tecnología continúa cambiando rápidamente.
Todos debemos continuar nuestros esfuerzos de
mantenernos informados sobre las muchas nuevas
aplicaciones para aparatos móviles que pueden ser
usados por las personas jóvenes
para comunicarse con otros, y
que potencialmente pueden ser
usados para manipular o abusar
a jóvenes. Para una copia del
