PARISH OF ST. JOSEPH
May 8, 2016
From the desk of Father Philip
In our Catholic Tradition we know that there is a judgement and punishment of sin. It helps us to think of the end of life when
we stand before God from whom nothing can be hidden. Before the Just God no bribes or excuses will work. God knows all our
sins. Other than His Mercy, we cannot gain any merit or help after this life. In this life our work is profitable, tears acceptable,
sighs audible, sorrows satisfying and purifying. We shorten our purgatory while we pray for our enemies, forgive offenses from
the heart, asks pardon of others, moved to pity than to anger, with sacrifices bring our body into subjection to the Spirit. Many a
time we deceive ourselves by our ill-advised love of the flesh. Every vice will have its own proper punishment. There is no break
or rest from eternal suffering.
If we take care and repent of our sins now, on the day of judgement we may rest secure with the blessed. The just, the poor, and
the humble will have great confidence while the proud will be struck with fear. Those who suffered for the sake of Christ in this
world will be rewarded in His Glory.
There is a reversal of values on that day: the devout will be glad, the irreligious will mourn, the mortified body will rejoice than
the one that was pampered with all pleasures, persevering patience will count more than all the power in this world, simple obedience will be exalted above worldly cleverness, a clean conscience will gladden the heart more than the philosophy of the
learned, contempt for riches will be of more weight than every treasure on earth. We will find real consolation in having prayed
devoutly. We will rejoice over our spiritually disciplined life. Holy works will be of greater value. Spiritual disciplines and
penances will be more pleasing than all earthly delights.
We must learn to suffer little things now to avoid greater suffering in eternity. If we cannot bear with little sufferings now, how
about eternal torment? Certainly we cannot have two joys: taste all the pleasures of this world and afterward reign with Christ. If
we have all that we want in this life but have no time for God, then think of our death now and whom we are going to face !
what this world gives is vanity. What God gives is eternity.
If we love God with all our heart, we will not fear death or punishment or judgement or hell. Perfect love assures access to God.
One who delights in sin fears death and judgement. Even if love of God does not restrain us from evil, at least the fear of hell
will. One who casts aside the fear of God cannot continue long in goodness but will quickly fall into the snares of the devil.
We need to teach our children the fear of God and the love of heaven. We need to remind them and instruct them that every
choice has its consequences here in this life and in the life after. They should be aware of the fact that we are responsible for
assuring our heaven by leading a good and religious life here and now in this world. God bless you all.
HAVE A VERY BLESSED MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL OUR MOTHER’S GRANDMOTHER’S
AND GREAT GRANDMOTHER’S AND SPECIAL WOMEN OF THE PARISH.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Order” and “presbyter” are not everyday words in our vocabulary, since we think of order as a quality of life
rather than a collective noun, and “priest” usually does just fine in everyday conversation. Yet each word has
deep roots in our tradition. At an ordination we select men for service to the community. Ordo is a Latin word
drawn not from pagan religious life but from Imperial Rome. It meant a distinct body standing apart from the
people, such as a body of people responsible for civil governance, senators for example. Think of the selectmen or board of governors in your civic home, and you will get the idea. The church borrowed the term to describe the place of certain people within the people of God, thus the “order of deacons,” “the order of presbyters,” and even “the order of virgins, catechumens, widows, neophytes, penitents,” and so on, as distinct
groups within the church.
Just as ancient Rome had various uniforms for the ranks and stations in civil life, so too did certain garments give clues to membership in an “order” in the church. So, our tradition favors the idea of an ordination
liturgy not as receiving something so much as being received. This is clearly expressed in the liturgy. The
“kiss of peace” is given only by the ordaining bishop and priests to the newly “ordained,” not by the faithful,
the deacons, or the concelebrating bishops who are present.

De la oficina del padre Felipe
En nuestra tradición católica sabemos que hay un juicio y el castigo del pecado. Nos ayuda a
pensar en el final de la vida, cuando estamos delante de Dios, de quien nada se puede esconder. Antes de que el Dios Justo no hay sobornos o excusas funcionarán. Dios conoce todos nuestros pecados. Aparte de su misericordia, no podemos obtener ningún mérito o
ayuda después de esta vida. En esta vida nuestro trabajo es rentable, lágrimas aceptable, suspiros, dolores satisfactoria y purificante.
Acortamos nuestro purgatorio mientras oramos por nuestros enemigos, perdonar las ofensas del corazón, le pide perdón a los demás, se
trasladó a la piedad que a la ira, con sacrificios poner nuestro cuerpo en sujeción al Espíritu. Muchas veces nos engañamos a nosotros
mismos por nuestro amor desacertada de la carne. Todos los vicios tendrá su propio castigo adecuado. No hay descanso o reposo del
sufrimiento eterno.Si nos ocupamos y nos arrepentimos de nuestros pecados ahora, en el día del juicio, podemos estar seguros con la
bendita. El justo, los pobres y los humildes tienen una gran confianza, mientras que el orgullo sea herido por el miedo. Los que sufrieron por causa de Cristo en este mundo serán recompensados en su gloria.
Hay una inversión de los valores en ese día: los devotos estarán contentos, los irreligiosos se llorar, el cuerpo mortificado se gozará de la
que fue mimado con todos los placeres, perseverante paciencia contará más que todo el poder en este mundo, sencillo la obediencia
será exaltado por encima de la inteligencia mundana, una conciencia limpia alegrará el corazón más que la filosofía de los eruditos,
el desprecio de las riquezas serán de más peso que todos los tesoros en la tierra. Nos encontraremos consuelo real de haber rezado
con devoción. Vamos a gozarse sobre nuestra vida disciplinada espiritualmente. obras santas serán de mayor valor. Las disciplinas espirituales y penitencias serán más agradable que todos los placeres terrenales.
Hay que aprender a sufrir pequeñas cosas ahora para evitar un mayor sufrimiento en la eternidad. Si no se puede soportar con pequeños sufrimientos ahora, ¿qué hay de tormento eterno? Ciertamente no podemos tener dos alegrías: probar todos los placeres de este
mundo y después reinar con Cristo. Si tenemos todo lo que queremos en esta vida, pero no tienen tiempo para Dios, y luego pensar
ahora de nuestra muerte y al que vamos a enfrentar! lo que este mundo da es vanidad. Lo que Dios da es la eternidad.
Si amamos a Dios con todo nuestro corazón, no vamos a temer a la muerte o el castigo o juicio o en el infierno. El amor perfecto
asegura el acceso a Dios. Uno que se deleita en el pecado teme a la muerte y el juicio. Incluso si el amor de Dios no nos refrene del mal,
al menos, el miedo al infierno lo hará. Aquel que deja a un lado el temor de Dios no puede continuar por mucho tiempo en la bondad, pero caerá rápidamente en las trampas del diablo.
Tenemos que enseñar a nuestros hijos el temor de Dios y el amor del cielo. Debemos recordar a ellos y darles instrucciones de que cada
elección tiene sus consecuencias en esta vida y en la vida después. Ellos deben ser conscientes del hecho de que somos responsables de
asegurar nuestro cielo llevando una vida buena y religiosa aquí y ahora en este mundo. Dios los bendiga a todos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA DE NUESTRA FE
Hoy celebramos a una mujer potente e importante en nuestras vidas; la madre. La historia del Día de las
Madres se originó en las fiestas griegas en honor de Rhea, la madre de los dioses. A lo largo de la historia los
cristianos también hemos recordado a la Madre de Dios, María, en varias solemnidades, pero hace sólo 100
años que en el 10 de mayo de 1907 en Estados Unidos se empezó a promover la idea de un día de reconocimiento del amor que tenemos como humanos por nuestras propias madres. Eventualmente se paso a muchas
naciones latinoamericanas.
Muchas culturas latinoamericanas son matriarcales, es decir, el papel de la madre en la familia es algo esencial. Para los latinos, no hay amor más grande que el de una madre. Sin olvidar la función del padre, ella es la
que nos da la vida, nos enseña como vivirla y nos da alimento. Su amor nos recuerda al de Cristo, quien con
sacrificio y amor da vida a la Iglesia. Su amor sostiene y cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles emocionalmente,
nuestro deseo secreto es de estar en los brazos de mamá.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
