The world situation is an uneasy one with the rise of Islamic
fascism growing in ferocity against democratic societies. Radicals,
who push for violence on civilians, are relentless in their pursuit for
eventual world domination. The interesting aspect of Islamic fascism is that they know that a direct battle would be useless against
the greater democratic military might, so they seek to destroy democracy in a more subtle way by using tactics of fear, deception,
and political fraction. The Islamic fascist’s tactic is not to win by
right ideas but to manipulate the good will of free peoples into submission. Equivocation opens the door to their evil intent.
In the same way, evil attempts to manipulate us into submitting our lives over to the consumption of Sin because direct confrontation with the Lord would be useless. Evil’s tactic of terrorism
attempts to cause fear in us which will ultimately push us away
from God. For example, the sin of mistake becomes a source of
great guilt for many, and causes us to fear the judgment of God.
Some feelings of guilt are good for motivating us to improve; however, guilty feelings which result in a fear of sin cause us to reside
in an evil state. If one is focused on sin and the fear of judgment
then God is not your focus. On the other hand, the opposite can
happen where we are deceived in thinking that there should be no
guilt caused by the sins we do; or we think we have no sin. This
causes us to lose our humility and honesty resulting in a worship
of ourselves instead of the Father. The third terrorist tactic of evil
is to cause a fractioning of our Christian unity. This is the most
diabolical of Evil’s techniques, for when people of good intentions
disagree in excess about non-essential matters of worship, faith,
and doctrine then the focus is on something that may be important
but not essential to fight over or to hold grudges resulting in no
compromise. This is a fractioning the body of Christ, which results
in the doubt of God’s dependable Love and secretly destroys faith.
As a people of faith, waiting for the return of the Son of Man,
let us look for the signs of the times supporting each other in unity
against the true enemy of Evil. We need to commit ourselves to the
way of Christ’s freedom by fearing no evil, maintaining our eyes on
the reality of truth, and gathering each other into the Body of Christ.
Evil only divides and destroys; it is by our life with which we decide
to embrace the way of Evil’s destruction or the way of Christ’s glorious gathering.

Trigésimo Tercero Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
La situación mundial actual es intranquila; aumenta la furia
del fascismo Islámico en contra de las sociedades democráticas.
Los extremistas que provocan la violencia contra los civiles, no se
dan por vencidos en su búsqueda por el dominio mundial. El aspecto
interesante del fascismo Islámico es que saben que una batalla
directa contra los poderes militares democráticos sería inútil, así que
buscan destruir a la democracia de una manera más sutil usando
sus tácticas de temor, engaño y fractura política. La táctica de los
fascistas Islámicos no es de ganar con ideas correctas sino manipular la buena voluntad de la gente libre hasta hacerlos sumisos. La
equivocación abre la puerta a dejar entrar sus intenciones malditas.
De la misma manera, la maldad intenta manipularnos para
entregar nuestras vidas al consumo del pecado, porque enfrentarse
directamente con Dios sería inútil. La maldad emplea la táctica del
terrorismo para causarnos temor, y eso a fin de cuentas nos aleja
de Dios. Por ejemplo, el pecado del error se convierte en una fuente
de culpabilidad para muchos, y causa que teman ser juzgados por
el Señor. Es bueno sentirse culpable hasta cierto grado porque eso
nos motiva a mejorar; sin embargo sentirse culpable a tal grado
que uno le teme al pecado nos causa permanecer en un estado de
maldad. Si uno se enfoca demasiado en el pecado y el temor del
castigo, entonces no puede uno enfocarse en Dios. Por otra parte, lo
opuesto ocurre cuando nos engañamos pensando que no debemos
sentirnos culpables por los pecados que cometemos, o creyendo
que no tenemos pecados. Esto causa que perdamos nuestra humildad y honestidad y comencemos a adorarnos a nosotros mismos en
lugar de al Padre. La tercera táctica de la maldad es de causar una
fractura en nuestra unidad Cristiana. Esta es la técnica más diabólica
del mal, porque cuando las personas de buenas intenciones discuten demasiado acerca de asuntos no esenciales de alabanza, fe, y
doctrina, entonces se enfocan en algo que, aunque importante, no
es esencial como para causar disputas o crear sentimientos que
impidan llegar a un acuerdo. Esto es fracturar al cuerpo de Cristo, y
causa que dudemos del amor de Dios y destruye silenciosamente la
fe.
Como personas fieles, esperando el regreso del Hijo del
Hombre, hay que estar pendientes de las señales de los tiempos y
apoyarnos mutuamente en unirnos en contra del verdadero enemigo
que es la maldad. Debemos comprometernos al camino de Cristo
que nos libera, y esto lo hacemos al no temer a la maldad, manteniendo nuestra vista fija en la realidad de la verdad, y apoyándonos
unos a los otros en el Cuerpo de Cristo. El mal divide y destruye. Es
por cómo llevamos nuestras vidas que decidimos tomar ya sea el
camino de la destrucción del mal, o el camino que conduce al pueblo
glorioso de Cristo.

St. Rose Ornament Sales
The Knights of Columbus are offering St. Rose
Limited Edition Christmas Ornaments after all
Masses through Christmas or until sold out.
A different ornament is being offered each year
through our 100th anniversary. Each is a beautiful stand-alone ornament, but should you buy
one each year your collection will depict the
Nativity scene. Because these are limited edition, only 200 are available each year.
Each ornament is $10.00 and the optional
stand is $5.00. All donation money collected
comes back to our St Rose of Lima Church
and School.
In the event you have a student graduating this
year, this ornament can be a beautiful memento of this happy graduation milestone.
Our Sunday Commitment
Nuestro Compromiso Dominical
En lo que nos vamos acercando a la celebración de “Cristo Rey”
recordemos la práctica tradicional de “la genuflexión” delante del
tabernáculo, donde se hospeda la presencia de Jesús. Doblamos
nuestra rodilla delante de nuestro Rey Eterno para darle nuestro
respeto, confianza y fidelidad. Este acto simbólico debe reflejar lo
que es verdadero en El; ¿Es su fidelidad verdaderamente dirigida a Cristo Jesús y Su esposa la Iglesia? ¿Harán el Compromiso
Dominical?

Sister Dolores Social
Outreach Program
Services Offered
As we approach the celebration of “Christ the King” we should be
reminded of the traditional practice of “genuflecting” before the tabernacle which houses the presence of Jesus. We bend the knee
before our eternal King to show our respect, trust, and allegiance.
The symbolic act should reflect what is true within; is your allegiance
truly directed towards Jesus Christ and His bride the Church? Are
you going to make a Sunday Commitment?
