Honor our Blessed Mother at Fatima Celebration
The 2016 St. Mary’s Our Lady of
Fatima Celebration is rapidly
approaching, with an exciting
schedule of events culminating on
Sunday, September 25th with a
beautiful celebration of Mass, the
parade, carnival, free BBQ dinner, live
and silent auction and many other
events on the grounds of George
McCann School.
The Fatima committee welcomes
one and all to participate in the
celebration as we honor our Blessed
Mother’s appearance in Fatima,
Portugal in 1917. Our lady appeared
to three shepherd children, conveying
a message emphasizing the priority of
penance and prayer, particularly the
devout daily recitation of the rosary.
This message of Our Lady is more
important than ever in these chaotic
times. Mirroring the example of Our
Blessed Mother, we strive to foster
the propagation of the faith through
children, particularly through the
support of Catholic education.
It is only through the
generosity of family,
friends and our larger
community that the
Catholic School of
Visalia, George McCann
Memorial, is able to
provide catholic
education to so many
children in our
community. The Fatima
committee would like to
thank all of you for your
support and
participation in this
wonderful celebration of
Our Lady of Fatima. All
proceeds for the event go to the
support of our school. We welcome
all donations of time, talents and
treasures, such as auction items,
baked goods for the sweet shop, or
even monetary donations. Check the
bulletin for information on drop off
locations and times for specific items
and again, thank you for your
support!
The Our Lady of Fatima
celebration is a beautiful
way to honor our
Blessed Mother and
enjoy a wonderful day of
fun, festivities, and
fellowship with your
family, friends, and all of
our brothers and sisters
in Christ. Like us on
Facebook by searching
for The Good Shepherd
Parish, Our Lady of
Fatima page. Our
Facebook page includes
a complete schedule of
events as well as photos
of our cute Fatima kids. The Fatima
committee anticipates a blessed and
joyous celebration! God Bless!
If any families of The Good
Shepherd Parish would like to
participate in the Fatima parade, your
presence is welcome. We are always
in need of angels, apostles, and other
roles for the whole family. Contact

Additional Confession To Be Added
For Year of Mercy at Good Shepherd
Catholic Parish
As we travel through this Year of
Mercy, it is fitting that the opportunity
for mercy and reconciliation should be
offered as often as we are able to do so.
From Tuesday, September 6, through
the end of the Year of Mercy, November
25, confessions will be heard beginning
1/2 hour before the daily Masses at Holy
Family and St. Mary’s Monday through
Friday by the priest who will celebrate
the Mass. (This necessitates the priest
leaving the confessional just prior to the
start of the Mass so if he is unable to
accommodate all the penitents, they will
have the opportunity to return the next
day or come at the regularly scheduled
time of 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.)
At St. Mary’s, the priest will use the
confessional designated for
handicapped (opposite the BVM altar)
and at Holy Family, the priest will use
the confessional on the north side.
You are encouraged to continue to
avail yourself of other activities /
resources during this Year of Mercy to
fully experience how our merciful God
works in our lives. An excellent resource
is the Jubilee Year of Mercy website:
www.iubilaeummisericordiae.va/
content/gdm/en.html
Connect with your Parish at our
upcoming events!
How are you communicating with your
members? How are you promoting

work evangelizing and serving. Join us
from 6-7 p.m. on Sept. 28 at the Parish
Hall and learn more about these new
tools and their many benefits. Have
questions in advance of the meeting?

education registration to prayer requests
to special services. We invite everyone to
join us for a brief presentation on our
mobile app, e-newsletter, new website

Reflection
Welcome to “Lost and
Found Sunday”! Just in case
being in church makes us
proudly consider ourselves
especially religious, today’s
Gospel suggests that we’d be
wiser to admit that we’re
sometimes lost. Then we’ll
eventually be happily counted among Jesus’ “found,”
because today Jesus focuses
on a lost sheep, lost coin, lost
son. Jesus does so because
the Pharisees and scribes,
proudly considering themselves especially religious,
“began to complain” that
Jesus “welcomes sinners and
eats with them.” So Jesus
warns them—and us—to
stop judging others. Marvel
instead that God’s amazing
grace has found us! Indeed,
in this Jubilee Year of Mercy,
we should become Jesus’
friends lovingly trying to find
others. So Exodus asks, if
God “relented in punishment” and pardoned us,
shouldn’t we forgive fellow
sinners graciously? Even Paul
admits his “arrogance” as
“foremost among sinners.”
We too, happy at being
“mercifully treated,” should
share with everyone else Jesus’ unfailing patience.

Vigésimo CuartoDomingo del Tiempo Ordinario: 11 de septiembre de 2016
Me levantaré y volveré a mi padre -Salmo 51
Lecturas de la Semana
Lunes:
Reflexión
EMPEZANDO CON IMÁGENES DE LO QUE
ESTÁ PERDIDO
La primera pregunta de Jesús parece sencilla:
“¿Qué persona entre ustedes teniendo cien ovejas y
una de ellas está perdida no dejaría las noventa y
nueve en el desierto e iría a buscar a la que se
perdió hasta que la encuentre?” ¿Pero acaso
muchos de los pastores tendrían temor de dejar a
tantas ovejas seguras para buscar a una perdida?
Más gentilmente, el pastor que Jesús pone como
ejemplo regresa con la oveja sin que la lleve a
empujones, al contrario, “se la pone sobre sus
hombros con gran alegría” como la imagen del
Buen Pastor de la cruz que usa el Papa Francisco.
Luego Jesús pregunta a esos hombres piadosos y
religiosos cuya oración diaria de Berakah bendice a
Dios “por no haber nacidos mujer” que imaginen a
una mujer preocupada por que perdió una moneda.
¿Podría Jesús ser desafiante con aquellos que se
vanaglorian de ser muy religiosos pedirles que
imaginen a Dios ser como las personas que ellos
desprecian? Hoy, Jesús nos pide: si Dios es como
ese pastor y esa mujer, ¿acaso no estamos todos
como Dios? En este Año jubilar de la Misericordia,
debemos seguir el ejemplo de Dios al amar
“buscando cuidadosamente” lo que esté perdido,
luego celebrar con los ángeles jubilosos cuando la
misericordia de Dios, que a menudo nos encuentra,
que encuentre a quien juzga a otras personas como
tontas, indignas o insignificantes.

RECONCILIACIÓN
La verdadera reconciliación es emocional, dramática y
purificadora. Cuando dos personas se encuentran de
corazón a corazón para reparar viejas heridas,
malentendidos y palabras descuidadas, lágrimas
purificadoras fluyen con frecuencia y el encuentro termina
con un abrazo que llena a ambas con el calor de un amor
demasiado fuerte para apagarse.
Las lecturas esta semana nos aseguran que una
saludable liberación acompaña la reconciliación. Ellas nos
dan el valor de acercarnos a alguien con quien
necesitemos reconciliarnos, y también nos dan valor para
pedir perdón a Dios.
En la lectura del Éxodo, vemos cómo Dios se niega
una y otra vez a abandonar a los israelitas. Aunque ellos
se impacientan con Dios y adoran falsos dioses, Dios
todavía vuelve a llamarlos. El Evangelio de san Lucas nos
asegura que Dios se regocija cuando nos apartamos del
pecado. La carta de Pablo a Timoteo nos anima, como
Pablo, a revisar nuestra vida y a reconocer las ocasiones
en que Dios ha sido paciente y misericordioso con
nosotros.
Eventos
RECORDAR EL 11 DE SEPTIEMBRE
Hace quince años la cobertura continua que la televisión hizo del derrumbe de las torres gemelas del Centro
Mundial de Comercio en Nueva York fue algo intolerable
para mí, y de igual manera fueron los choques y destrucción en Washington y en las colinas de Pensilvania. La
incontable destrucción de vidas humanas era incomprensible. Visitar el sitio en Nueva York casi cinco años después reabrió heridas dolorosas y una gran tristeza se apoderó de mí. Un ataque en nuestra tierra, cuidadosamente
planeado y llevado a cabo por individuos extranjeros,
destrozó el sentido halagador que tenía de seguridad, y
me provocó una sensación horrible de ausencia de Dios.
¿Cómo podría mi fe católica ayudarme a sobrellevar
esta tragedia? Yo sabía que ni la venganza ni el rencor
eran opciones para mí.
Pero nos aplastaste… y nos cubrió la sombra de la
muerte.
Nos arrastramos por el polvo. (Salmo 44:20, 26a)
¡Oh Dios de los ejércitos, restablécenos,
haz brillar tu faz y sálvanos! (Salmo 80:4)
El salmista grita un lamento que expresa luto por el
pueblo israelita, el elegido de Dios, el cual se cree intocable y por encima del reproche, y que ahora está en la miseria. El lamento es la agonía de una nación que se atreve
a quejarse en contra de su divino protector, quien puede
ser en parte responsable de esa miseria, pero al final clama a Dios por su liberación.
En medio de los lamentos, la fe de Israel sufrió, como le
pasa a la nuestra. Somos tan vulnerables como lo fueron
ellos a la violencia y al odio que parece rodearnos. Nuestra exigencia por una explicación de la divinidad caen en
saco roto. Más aún, aprendimos del sacrificio altruista y
heroico de muchos, dando testimonio de lo mejor de
nuestra nación y herencia cristiana. Morir por los amigos
de uno es el tema sagrado de nuestra historia personificada por Jesús, nuestro Salvador, y prolongada a través
de los siglos en las acciones nobles y extraordinarias de
hombres y mujeres en todas las circunstancias.
En el 2001 nos unimos como una sola nación, compartiendo el dolor, la desilusión y la promesa de reconstruirnos. Así como hoy lloramos y honramos a los muertos y
heridos, ¿debemos interpretar esta emoción dolorosa en
una búsqueda perseverante de paz y reconciliación en el
mundo?
