Hello - I invite all parishioners to participate in
this survey - the Vatican is seeking input from
around the world in preparation for the upcoming
synod on the Family. In preparation for the Synod
of Bishops to be held in October 4–25, 2015 on “The
Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church
and Contemporary World,” the Vatican has asked
the world’s bishops for a “broad consultation.”

In order to facilitate the response from the Archdiocese, we have established an on-line survey that enables Catholics to respond to a set of questions that

Un mensaje del Padre Roberto,
Para casi todos nosotros el águila es una de las aves favoritas, por
sus alas extendidas en majestuoso vuelo, por la pose orgullosa y
elegante de su cabeza, es decir, que para todos o para la mayoría
de nosotros es objeto de admiración. El águila es una de las aves
de mayor longevidad. Llega a vivir aproximadamente setenta
años. Pero para llegar a esa edad, alrededor de su cuarta década
tiene que tomar una seria y difícil decisión.
A los 40 años, ya sus uñas se volvieron tan largas y flexibles
que no puede sujetar a sus presas de las cuales se alimenta. El
pico alargado y su punta se curva demasiado y ya no le sirve.
Apuntando contra el pecho están las alas, envejecidas y pesadas
en función del gran tamaño de sus plumas y ya para entonces,
volar! Se le vuelve difícil, casi imposible.
Entonces tiene dos alternativas, dejarse estar y morir o
enfrentar un doloroso proceso de renovación que le llevara
aproximadamente 150 días. Este proceso consiste en volar a lo
alto de la montaña y recogerse en un nido, próximo a un paredón
donde ella no necesite volar y se sienta más protegida. Entonces
una vez encontrado el lugar adecuado, el águila comienza a
golpear la roca con el pico, hasta arrancarlo! Luego espera que le
nazca el Nuevo pico, con el cual podrá arrancar sus uñas Viejas
inservibles. Cuando las nuevas nazcan y comienzan a crecer, ella
desprende una a una de sus Viejas y sobrecogidas plumas…y
después de todos esos largos y dolorosos cinco meses, de heridas,
cicatrizaciones y crecimiento logra realizar su famoso vuelo de
renovación, renacimiento y festejo para vivir otros 30 años más!
San Benito decía respecto de la Cuaresma “aunque la vida del
monje debería tener en todo tiempo una observancia cuaresmal,
sin embargo, como son pocos los que tienen semejante Fortaleza,
los exhortamos a que en estos días de cuaresma guarden sus vidas
con suma pureza y a que borren también en estos días santos todas las negligencias de otros tiempos. Lo cual haremos
convenientemente, si nos apartamos de todo vicio y nos
entregamos a la oración con lágrimas, a la lectura, a la
compunción y a la abstinencia”
Claro! Nosotros no somos monjes ni tampoco podemos vivir
las cuaresma todo el año!, no tenemos la Fortaleza para vivirla!
Pero también es verdad que la Cuaresma es necesaria! Así como
para el águila era necesario esconderse en su nido! Sin este
periodo de renuncias nuestra alma puede volverse rutinaria, vieja
y ya jamás rejuvenecer! Por ello, este tiempo litúrgico que la
Iglesia nos propone, no es para hacernos la “vida a cuadritos”,
imposible, sino que la oración y los pequeños sacrificios que uno
realice, nos ayudan a fortalecer nuestro espíritu, a darle más
fuerza y soportar, luego, los grandes vuelos que tengamos por
delante en nuestras vidas, vuelos que no estarán exentos de
dificultades y tentaciones, vuelos que nos llevaran, si Dios quiere,
al vuelo definitivo de la eternidad, al abrazo amoroso con El.
Cuantas uñas largas e inservibles tengo en mi vida y que es
necesario arrancarme? Cuál es mi lista de vicios o de pequeñas
cosas que puedo ofrecer a Dios? Sería muy positivo, si no lo hemos hecho aún, trazarnos algunos objetivos, sencillos y claros,
para estos 40 días de Cuaresma y ponerlos delante de Dios en la
oración. Así podremos renovar nuestra alma y de esta manera,
como las águilas, podremos ser también objetos de admiración,
pero no de cualquiera, sino del mismísimo Dios! Hasta cualquier
otro momento y que Dios nos bendiga a todos!

A Message from Fr. Roberto,
For most of us the eagle is a favorite birds, wings outstretched in majestic flight, the proud and elegant pose of her head, ie, that for all or most of
us is admired. The eagle is a bird of increased longevity. Can live about seventy years. But getting to that age, around its fourth decade must take a
serious and difficult decision.
At age 40, and his nails grew so long and flexible that it can not hold their prey which it feeds. The elongated beak and its tip is too curved and
no longer useful. Pointing to his chest are the wings, aged and heavy due to the large size of their feathers and by then, fly! It will become difficult, almost impossible.
Then you have two alternatives, lie down and die or face a painful process of renewal that will take approximately 150 days. This process
involves flying to the top of the mountain and collected in a nest near a wall where she does not need to fly and feel more protected. Then once I
found the right place, the eagle starts to hit the rock with its beak, to start it! Then expect to be born the new peak, with which you can start your
nails useless Viejas. When the new born and begin to grow, she exudes a one of its Old and overawed feathers ... and after all those long and painful five months, from wounds, scarring and growth fails to perform his famous flight of renewal, rebirth and celebration for live another 30 years!
San Benito said regarding Lent "Although the monk's life should be around long a Lenten observance, however, as there are few who have
similar Fortaleza, we urge that in these days of Lent save their lives with great purity and also deleted in these holy days all the negligence of another time. Which conveniently will, if we turn away from all vice and give ourselves to prayer with tears, reading, compunction and abstinence "
Of course! We are not monks nor can we live the Lent all year !, we have the Strength to live! But it is also true that Lent is required! As for
the eagle was necessary to hide in her nest! Without this period of resignations our soul can become routine, rejuvenate old and ever! Therefore,
this liturgical season that the Church proposes, is not for us "life checkered" impossible, but prayer and small sacrifices you make, help us
strengthen our spirit, to give it more strength and support then we have the largest flying ahead in our lives, flights not exempt from difficulties
and temptations, flights take us, God willing, the final flight of eternity, the loving embrace with Him.
How many nails long and useless in my life and the need to rip? What is my list of vices or small things I can offer to God? It would be good
if we have not already, set ourselves some goals, simple and clear, for the 40 days of Lent and put before God in prayer. So we can renew our soul
and thus, like eagles, we can also be objects of admiration, but not for everyone, but of God himself! So any time and God bless us all!

“Uniting children with their
mothers and fathers in prison”
February 22, 2015
"Uniendo los niños con sus madres y
padres en la cárcel"
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:
Once again, I ask your support in the Get
on The Bus program. St. Mary’s will be
sponsoring the Father’s Day bus to California Men’s Colony
Prison in San Louis Obispo, CA for our Antelope Valley
children and their care givers to visit their fathers/immediate
family members in prison on Saturday, May 30, 2015. On
February 28 and March 1, St. Mary’s will take up a dollar
collection at the end of each mass to raise the necessary
$4,000 to send our bus.
Get On The Bus is an annual, free trip that brings children
from across the state of California to visit their moms or
dads in prison for a special visit. Research shows that maintaining contact through visits helps kids deal with anxiety,
anger, fear and shame over the separation. And, when children are provided with visitation, their grades improve, they
act out less frequently and they’re less likely to drop out of
school.
This may be the only day each year these children will get
to see their parent. Get on the Bus provides each child and
their caregivers with pre-trip assistance with prison visiting
requirements, breakfast and snacks, lunch and special activities with their parent inside, dinner, and opportunities for
counseling.
Get on the Bus springs from the philosophical and practical
aspects of the Restorative Justice movement, which works
toward shifting the focus of the criminal justice system from
punishment to healing.
There are several ways that you can help. In addition to our
dollar collection the last weekend of February, we are in
need of the following items:
Backpacks
Travel Bag items (activities, snacks, etc.)
New teddy bears 12”+
Donate Baked Goods/Purchase Baked Goods from Knights of
Columbus Fish Fry
Money Donations
Get on the Bus is a non-profit organization. To learn more
about the program, please visit www.getonthebus.us.com.
For further information regarding our bus, please contact
Diana Cardenas, (661) 406-0868 or by email at [email protected].
Thank you so much for your love and support.

Una vez más, les pido su apoyo en el conseguir en el programa de autobús. Santa María será el patrocinador de bus Día del Padre a la prisión de Colonia de los hombres de California en San Luis Obispo, CA para nuestros hijos
de Antelope Valley y sus cuidadores a visitar a sus padres /
familiares directos en la cárcel el sábado, 30 de mayo de 2015.
En febrero 28 y 01 de marzo, Santa María tendrá una colecta
de dólares al final de cada masa para elevar la necesaria $
4,000 a enviar nuestro bus.
Get On The Bus es un viaje anual, gratuito que trae a los niños
de todo el estado de California para visitar a sus mamás o los
papás en la cárcel por una visita especial. Las investigaciones
muestran que mantener el contacto a través de visitas ayuda a
los niños a sobrellevar la ansiedad, la ira, el miedo y la
vergüenza por la separación. Y, cuando los niños se proporcionan con las visitas, sus calificaciones mejoran, actúan con
menos frecuencia y son menos propensos a abandonar la escuela.
Este puede ser el único día que cada año estos niños tendrán la
oportunidad de ver a su padre. Get on the Bus ofrece cada niño
y sus cuidadores con la asistencia pre-viaje con prisión visitan
requisitos, desayunos y meriendas, almuerzo y actividades
especiales con sus padres en el interior, la cena, y oportunidades de asesoramiento.
Obtener en los muelles de autobuses desde los aspectos
filosóficos y prácticos del movimiento Justicia Restaurativa,
que trabaja para cambiar el enfoque del sistema de justicia
penal de castigo a la curación.
Hay varias maneras que usted puede ayudar. Además de la
colección de dólar el último fin de semana de febrero, estamos
en la necesidad de los siguientes elementos:
Mochilas
Artículos Bolsa de Viaje (actividades, bocadillos, etc.)
Nueva osos de peluche 12 "+
Donar Productos horneados / Compra de productos de panificación de Caballeros de Colón Fish Fry
Donaciones de dinero

DID YOU KNOW?
Child abduction: taking action
A recent study of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® revealed that 83% of children who escaped
their would-be abductors kicked, yelled, and pulled away to escape. Teach your child these and other abduction prevention skills, such as: Asking for permission before changing plans; asking for permission before approaching or
getting into vehicles with anyone; recognizing the tricks would-be abductors use, such as offering rides or asking for
help; telling a trusted adult whenever anything or anyone makes them uncomfortable. When it comes to keeping your
child safe, YOU are your child’s best resource. The more you know about abduction prevention, the better protected
your child will be. Use your knowledge to make conversations about personal safety a regular part of your family’s
routine. For more information, visit: http://www.kidsmartz.org/ChildAbduction.
¿SABÍA USTED?
Secuestro de menores: tomando acción
Un reciente estudio del Centro Nacional de Niños Perdidos y Explotados reveló que 83% de niños que escapan de sus
secuestradores patearon, gritaron y se alejaron para escapar. Enseñe a su hijo estas y otras habilidades para prevenir el
secuestro, como: Pedir permiso antes de cambiar planes; pedir permiso antes de aproximarse o meterse en vehículos con
alguien; reconocer los trucos que posibles abductores usan, como ofrecer llevarlos o pedir ayuda; decirle a un adulto de
confianza cuando algo o alguien los hace sentir incómodos. Cuando se trata de mantener seguro a su hijo(a), USTED es
el mejor recurso para él o ella. Mientras más usted sabe cómo prevenir la abducción, mejor protegido estará su niño(a).
Use su conocimiento para que las conversaciones sobre seguridad personal sean parte de la rutina familiar. Para más información, visite http://www.kidsmartz.org/ChildAbduction.
