Liturgy
Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

If we have died with [Christ Jesus]
we shall also live with him;
if we persevere
we shall also reign with him.
— 2 Timothy 2:11-12a
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Naaman, cleansed from his leprosy, returns to Elisha and pledges his belief in and allegiance to the
LORD (2 Kings 5:14-17).
Psalm — The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power (Psalm 98).
Second Reading — Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead. If we persevere, we shall reign with him (2
Timothy 2:8-13).
Gospel — After ten lepers are cleansed by Jesus, only one, a Samaritan, returns to give him thanks
(Luke 17:11-19).

GRATITUDE
Surely we can all recall at least a few days in our lives when things were going so well that nothing could put us in a
bad mood. Maybe it was the day a very special person asked us to the senior prom, or perhaps it was our wedding day.
Maybe it was the day we learned that we were expecting a long-awaited child, or the day we got an overdue promotion.
There was elation in our hearts and lightness in our step, an extraordinary vitality throughout the day. We probably got
on the phone right away to tell at least a few key people about our good fortune.
This is surely how Naaman and the leper must have felt when they were rid of their terrible diseases. They were
hard-pressed to contain their gratitude, and although they were both unfamiliar with the customs of a foreign land, they
had the good manners to thank the people responsible for their cures.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
This month, parishes around the country will conduct the “October count,” a measure of attendance at Sunday Mass.
The measure has been taken for many centuries, and in some European dioceses it is possible to measure the level of
engagement in worship by the population over the course of many centuries. Long ago, it was also the custom to track
“Easter duty” by a statistical report. Penitents would receive a kind of chit at confession, which they would then turn in
at their parish church when they received Holy Communion during Easter time.
Long ago, of course, Communion was fairly rare in the life of a Catholic Christian, perhaps only once a year. The
chits would be tallied by parish priests and reported to the chancery, which in turn would hold on to the records and include the statistics in a report to the Vatican every five years. Nowadays, the October count has proved especially critical in the life of our Church as bishops use the figures to measure the vitality of church life, to sketch parish boundaries,
and even to decide when to close, merge, or form new parishes.

The safety of our children and youth is very important to us. Every year we hold our
annual “Trunk-or-Treat”. The participation of our parishioners is an essential part
of the success of this event. Thanks to your participation in decorating your vehicles and giving out candy to children, we are able to keep our children safe.
We need volunteers to help be part of this fun and safe event. If you would like to
decorate your trunk and fill it with goodies (this is the most fun!), please register your
vehicle so that we know how many cars to expect for this event. The more “trunks”
the more fun for you and the children. If you would like to make a candy donation,
please drop it off at our parish office. For more information, please call Marisol
Franco at (760) 564-1255.

CLOW will begin on Sunday October 16th, 29th Sunday in Ordinary time
at the 9:15 Mass and the 12:30 Mass.
The children will be dismissed by the Celebrant after the opening prayer.
They will process out with their catechist to the chapel to hear the
Word of God Proclaimed
according to their understanding.
The children will reflect on the Word of God and share what God is saying to them in
the message they have received,
and how they will live that message during the week and share it with others.
Followed by celebration of the Word (ACTIVITY)
the creed and
General Intercessory Prayers.
Then the children will return to the Church to join their parents before the
Eucharist prayer.
Please join us, and allow the children to experience the Liturgy of the Word with us so

GRATITUD
Seguramente podemos recordar al menos unos cuantos días en nuestras vidas
cuando las cosas iban tan bien que nada podía ponernos de mal humor. Tal vez fue
el día en que una persona muy especial nos invitó a su fiesta de graduación o el día
de nuestra boda. Quizás fue el día en que nos enteramos de que tendríamos un hijo
largamente esperado o el día en que recibimos una promoción tardía. Hubo alegría
en nuestro corazón, ligereza en nuestros pasos y gran vitalidad en el curso del día.
Probablemente nos fuimos al teléfono para llamar a unas cuantas personas importantes y contarles acerca de nuestra buena fortuna.
Seguramente que así se sintieron Naamán y el leproso cuando fueron curados
de su terrible enfermedad. No podían contener su gratitud, y aunque ambos desconocían las costumbres de un país extranjero conocían los buenos modales de dar las
gracias a las personas responsables de sus curaciones. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Mientras muchos celebran el descubrimiento de América esta semana, los latinos
celebramos más bien el Día de la Raza, insistiendo que Colón no pudo descubrir lo que no
estaba ni perdido ni escondido. El 12 de octubre de 1492, Rodrigo de Triana grito: “Tierra a
la vista”. Estas fueron las primeras palabras Europeas que sonaron en el hemisferio occidental. Rodrigo gritaba a los españoles agitados y cansados por su largo viaje. Él les daba la
buena noticia de que estaban por llegar a Guanahaní, que Cristóbal Colón renombró San
Salvador.
Es así como se engendró un nuevo pueblo en América. Una raza mestiza se engendró en
la búsqueda de Asia y luego fue dada a luz con el derrame de sangre indígena a manos del
conquistador. A través del tiempo el continente americano poblado por nativos, ha recibido
sangre, cultura e idioma europea, africana y asiática. De esta manera se ha ido desarrollando
nuestro mestizaje. Celebremos que somos una mezcla de sangres, culturas, lenguas y creencias. Somos raza mestiza, nacida en el dolor; trabajamos y luchamos por una vida mejor.
