The Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
“You are not far from the
kingdom of God.”
Jesus is our ultimate leader. He
sets us on the path of the kingdom
and gives us all the teaching we
need to follow him to that destination. He tells us that the first commandment is the best and
only one we need: From the commandment to love and
obey God, all other laws and prophecies are derived.
If we want to know how to live, love God. And if we need
particular direction for a special situation, move in the
direction of love. And if decisions need to be made, choose
love. And if suffering comes, cling to love and not to fear
and bitterness. When we’re lost, call out for love’s guidance. When death is near, believe in love and we will see it
face to face. The guidelines for kingdom living are clear,
simple, and compact. If it seems murky, it’s because we’re
not paying attention. Those who remain close to the roots
of love in every aspect of their lives and draw all their
decisions from its source are happy, peaceful, centered
people. We know full well all the alternative lifestyles and
their results.

ALERT:
“YEAR of FAITH”
EVENT!
“Catholicism” DVD Presentation
Thursday, November 8th 7-8:30pm
in the Parish Hall
Join us as we rediscover our common faith on a journey around the
world and deep into our faith
through “Catholicism.” With
creator and host Father Robert
Barron, you will learn what
Catholics believe and why, while
being immersed in the art,
architecture, literature, beliefs, and
practices of the Catholic tradition. Filmed in 50 locations
throughout 15 countries, the Catholicism DVD series is
on-location and in the streets illustrating the splendor of
the global Church.
We will meet on the second Thursday each month at
7:00pm to watch an episode of this 10-part series.
Following the video presentation, we’ll gather in small
groups to discuss the topic of the evening.
Join us for episode 2: “Happy Are We: The teachings of
Jesus.” The revelation of Jesus as God is accompanied
by a stunning invitation to a unique new way of life, explained in the teachings of Jesus. To every generation,
the words of Jesus have proven fascinating, disorienting, sometimes confounding, deeply transformative, and
always unforgettable. Father Barron highlights the Beatitudes, the path of non-violence and lessons of forgiveness, care for the poor and our relationship with God as
presented in the parables. Jesus’ teachings are illuminated during Fr. Barron’s pilgrimages to Poland, Germany, Spain and New York City. Commentaries at
these sites also show how the Catholic Church is a
living culture, which gives witness to the inviolable
dignity of the human person.
These evenings are open to everyone of the parish as a
chance to delve deeper into the Catholic religion during
this “Year of Faith.” Come as you can—each episode is
its own entity and does not need to be viewed in
conjunction with the others. If you have any questions,
please contact Elena in the Parish Office.
“Love God, serve God: everything is in that.”

Americans are especially proud this year of the two newly
canonized saints from this country St. Kateri Tekakwitha and
St. Marianne Cope. Their canonization is a good time to recall
that we, too, are called to be saints . . . that’s the universal call to
holiness. Especially during this Year of Faith, we can learn more
about these role models and how we can imitate their actions in
our daily lives.

The Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
YEAR of FAITH: Reflecting on Faith
“The condition of the modern world lends
greater urgency to this duty of the
Church; for while men of the present day
are drawn ever more closely together by
social, technological and cultural bonds,
it still remains for them to achieve full
unity in Christ.” (Lumen Gentium 1)
Do I let technology distract me from
focusing on my relationship with Christ?
Pray this week:
O God, who gathers what has been scattered, look
kindly on the flock your Son has gathered bringing all
into unity with Him who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Kid’s Corner
Did you know there are 15,000
different kinds of rice? If God made
that many kinds of rice, imagine how
many different kinds of people he
made! Look at all the people you see
today. Each
one has a face with two eyes, a
nose, a mouth, and two ears—but
each face looks so different
from every other face! Isn’t it
wonderful that God’s creations
are so endlessly interesting!

Congratulations to Fr. Rubén Arceo
López on his recent appointment as
Rector/University President of the
Universidad Iberoamericana in Tijuana.
Our Spanish speaking community knows
Fr. Ruben very well as he regularly
celebrates our Spanish Mass here on
Sundays. We wish him all the best in his
new position.
November 4, 2012
It is with much gratitude that we recently
received two $1000
bequests. One came
from the estate of
Alice McDowell and
will be put toward our
bathroom remodels
Alice McDowell
in the Church. The
second came from
the estate of Dorothy Lamkin. That $1000
bequest will go toward our Religious
Education program. We are grateful to be
remembered in the wills of these parishioners. Please include Alice and Dorothy in
your prayers for their generosity to our
parish.
Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Christian faith is not a “religion of
the book.” Christianity is the religion of
the “Word” of God, a word which
is...incarnate and living.”
(Saint Bernard, S. missus est hom. 4, 11:PL 183, 86). (CCC 108)
The First Commandment of the
Law of Moses makes us aware
of a basic principle of our
Catholic Faith: that there is no
other god besides the Lord our
God. Why then do we set up
anything in place of him? It is a
danger then to see anything in
this life, including the Bible, the
inspired words of our Lord God,
as an end in itself, or to understand the practice of
our religion as a matter of memorizing verses of
Sacred Scripture. Christianity is not a religion of
words gathered together, but rather the religion of
the Word of God who became man for our salvation,
and in fact gathers us to himself. Christianity is the
religion that begins here on earth our eternal life in
heaven.
The Word of God makes this possible by speaking
to us, by revealing himself to us so that by the power
of the Holy Spirit we might come to know the Father,
just as the Word, the eternal Son of the Father,
knows him. The Father spoke to us before Christ
with words of prophecy and promise, but in Christ
we find the definitive Word of all fulfillment.
—Father James M. Sullivan, O.P.

Amar a Dios y al prójimo con todo el
corazón, con toda el alma, con todo el ser.
Un escriba se acerca a Jesús. No viene a
tenderle una trampa. Tampoco a discutir con
él. En su corazón se ha despertado una pregunta: “¿Qué mandamiento es el primero de todos?”
Jesús entiende muy bien lo que siente aquel hombre. El
escriba está pensando en un Dios que tiene poder de mandar.
Jesús le coloca ante un Dios cuya voz hemos de escuchar.
Jesús habla de amar “con todo el corazón, con toda el alma, con
todo el ser”. Jesús añade, todavía, algo que el escriba no ha
preguntado. Este amor a Dios es inseparable del amor al prójimo. Sólo se puede amar a Dios amando al hermano. De lo contrario, el amor a Dios es mentira. ¿Cómo vamos a amar al Padre
sin amar a sus hijos e hijas? Con frecuencia, tendemos a confundir el amor a Dios con las prácticas religiosas y el fervor, ignorando el amor práctico y solidario a quienes viven excluidos
por la sociedad. Pero, ¿qué hay de verdad en nuestro amor a Dios
si vivimos de espaldas a los que sufren?
Felicitaciones al P. Rubén López Arceo por
su reciente nombramiento como Rector /
Presidente de la Universidad Iberoamericana de Tijuana. P. Rubén te deseamos todo
lo mejor en tu nuevo cargo y que Dios te
sigan llenando de bendiciones.
Gracias por tu ministerio sacerdotal.
