Twenty-eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
October 9, 2016
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
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.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Naaman, cleansed from his leprosy,
returns to Elisha and pledges his belief in and allegiance
to the L
(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).

Safeguard the Children
Parish Committee Chair-Ron Clouse-529-1397
DID YOU KNOW?
Avoid “fixing” and try to listen and understand
Sometimes adults may have a tendency to try and fix
problems that come up with their children. While the
instinct to help and the loving concern behind it is
understandable, it is not always the best course of
action if the child is not learning something about
how to handle a problem at least partly on their own.
For some problems, children just need a good listener; for others they need guidance and help discerning
how best to respond. Try asking questions, encouraging solutions, and praying with and for the child.
For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Communication
Tip No. 10: You Can’t Fix Them, But You Can…”
email [email protected] or call 213-6377227.
¿SABÍA QUE?
Evite “reparar” y trate de escuchar y entender
En ocasiones los adultos pudieran tener una tendencia a tratar de reparar problemas que puedan surgir
con sus hijos. Aunque el instinto para ayudar y la
preocupación amorosa detrás de esta actitud es comprensible, no es siempre el mejor curso de acción a
tomar si el niño o la niña no está aprendiendo algo
sobre cómo manejar un problema, al menos en parte
por ellos mismos. Para algunos problemas, los niños
sólo necesitan un buen escucha; otros necesitan guía
y ayuda para discernir cómo responder mejor. Trate
de hacer preguntas, anímelos a encontrar soluciones,
y rece con y por el niño o la niña. Para una copia del
artículo en VIRTUS® “Communication Tip No. 10:
You Can’t Fix Them, But You Can…” (Consejo de
comunicación No. 10: Usted no puede repararlos,
pero puede…) envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected] o llame al 213-637-7227.

Inc., thank you for the generous donation of $1,200
dated 7/25/2016 for Moorpark Community Service
Center.
Catholic Charities work is made possible by the interest and generosity of friends, such as you, who

Your thoughtfulness is acknowledged. We show our
gratefulness to the Lord by looking after those who
need His help.
Msgr. Joseph Hernandez, Pastor

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.

Si morimos con Cristo Jesús
viviremos con él;
si nos mantenemos firmes,
reinaremos con él.
— 2 Timoteo 2:11‑12a
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.
