Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
The Bread of Life
Pan de Vida
The imagery of bread dominates the readings and
prayers today. Bread is considered the staff of life –
the basic staple of existence. The reading from Exodus records the grumbling of the hungry Israelites as
they wandered in the desert. They complained to Moses that they did not have this basic essential and
thought they should have remained in captivity rather
than starve. Jesus references this episode in today’s
gospel when he attempts to awaken the people to the
realization that he is not speaking about temporal
bread. Jesus says,” Do not work for food that perishes
but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the
Son of Man will give you.” When the people press and
ask for this eternal bread, Jesus tells them, “I am the
bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” Jesus is
drawing the people closer to a new understanding of
what they truly need. Yet, they would not understand
the truth that Jesus was preaching, and Saint Paul
speaks of in his letter to the Ephesians years later
when he tells the community to “put
away the old self of your former way of
life« and be renewed in the spirit of
your minds, and put on the new self,
created in God’s way in righteousness
and holiness of truth.” Jesus had yet to
be crucified and rise from the dead before this truth would become wholly
manifest. As we meditate on these
readings we joyfully thank God for the
gift of Jesus, the bread of life, and pray,
“O Lord, in your never-failing care, make
us worthy of eternal redemption” (Prayer
After Communion).
La imagen del pan domina las lecturas y oraciones de
hoy. El pan es considerado el sostenimiento de la vida
– la comida básica de nuestra existencia. La lectura del
libro del Éxodo narra las quejas de los Israelitas al sentir hambre después de navegar por el desierto. Se quejaban con Moisés de no tener lo básico y esencial.
Pensaban que se deberían de haber quedado en la
esclavitud antes de morir de hambre. En el Evangelio
de hoy, Jesús hace referencia a este episodio y explica
que él no habla de un pan temporal. Jesús les dice,
“No trabajen por la comida que se acaba, sino por la
comida que permanece y les da vida eterna. Ésta es la
comida que les dará el Hijo del hombre.” Cuando lo
cuestionan y le pregunta cual es este pan de vida eterna, Jesús les dice, “Yo soy el pan de vida; el que viene
a mí no tendrá hambre, el que cree en mí no tendrá
sed.” Jesús quiere que las personas tengan un entendimiento más profundo de lo que verdaderamente necesitan. Sin embargo, no entenderían la verdad que
Jesús predicaba, y años después, san Pablo en su
carta a los Efesios, le dice a la comunidad
que se “despójense de su vieja naturaleza«y renueven su mente y espíritu, y revístanse de la nueva naturaleza, creada a
imagen de Dios y que se manifiesta en una
vida recta y pura, fundada en la verdad.”
Para que esta verdad se manifestara completamente, Jesús tendría que morir y resucitar de entre los muertos. Al meditar las
lecturas, nos llenamos de gozo y le damos
gracias a Dios por el regalo de Jesús, el
pan de vida y oramos, “En el pan partido
aquí para nosotros reconocemos a Quien
es la luz de vida, Jesucristo” (Oración después de la comunión).

Liturgical Ministries
Eucharistic Ministers to Homebound,
Hospital and Convalescents
Spirituality & Fellowship
Our Lady of the Assumption is in
need of Eucharistic ministers for
the homebound, the Hospitals,
and Health Care Facilities
(Convalescent and rehab facilities). Our goal is to have enough
Eucharistic ministers (EMs) to
meet the request for communion
for those who are unable to attend mass because of health
issues, and administer communion daily to the Ventura County
Medical Center, Community Memorial Hospital and to our
local care facilities weekly. Eucharist ministering to the
Hospitals is an extension of the daily mass. The Eucharistic minister (EM) is asked to attend mass on the day they
are scheduled to administer communion at the hospital.
The Hospital provides a list of patients that are Catholic
for the EM to visit and the EM checks with the patient to
see if they are disposed to receiving communion. Since
some patients are not able to receive communion for various reasons the EM may pray with them and can be the
conduit to having them visited by a priest. Each Hospital
will train the EM in its protocols and safety when administering in their facility. Our Lady of the Assumption ministers will walk with you on the how-to part of administering
communion and the church’s expectations in administering communion. We will have an information night and
church training on Tuesday August 18th 6:30 pm in the
Church. Please contact Dn Mike Burns at (805) 642-7966
ext. 145 or [email protected] if you have any questions before the meeting.

Save Blessed Serra's Statue
Since 1934 the statue of Blessed Junipero Serra has represented Calif. at the

against the friar are on ongoing.
In a bid to save Blessed Serra's statue,
a Spanish and English language website http://www.CitizenGo.org is asking
Calif. residents to write to their legislators asking for The statue to remain. And also supporters may sign
the petition at Citizen.Go.org , which
already has more than 46,000 signatures or see the attachment in this email. Fewer than 4000 signatures are
needed to reach the petitioners goal of
50,000.
Please ask friends, neighbors, family, ministries, to sign
the petition. Please pass it on. U.S. Hispanics and all
supporters need your help to maintain the presence of our
first saint in the U.S. Capitol.

A Message from Archbishop José H. Gomez
I would like to share with you two announcements made
by the Holy See this week of great importance to our
Archdiocese. First, Pope Francis has accepted the retirement of Bishop Gerald Wilkerson, Auxiliary Bishop for the
San Fernando Pastoral Region, upon reaching the retirement age for bishops, which is 75 years old.
Bishop Wilkerson has been serving the Archdiocese of
Los Angeles as a priest for 50 years, and as a bishop
since 1998. He has fulfilled his ministry with zeal and dedication, and we are very grateful for the many things he
has done for the people of God in the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles. We are also grateful because we know that
even in his retirement, his health and energy will allow
him to continue his ministry among us.
The Holy Father has also named Msgr. Joseph V. Brennan and Msgr. David O’Connell from our Archdiocese
along with Father Robert Barron from the Archdiocese of
Chicago as auxiliary bishops of the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles. It is with great joy that we welcome the announcement of our three new auxiliary bishops. I believe
each of them will help us in our mission here in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles — the beautiful mission we have
of sharing the love of God and the message of Jesus
Christ and promoting human dignity and mercy and justice in our society.
The Archdiocese has created a special webpage with information on the announcement of our new auxiliary bishops, including the video of the presentation of the bishops
-elect, their statements and special articles from The Tidings.
I invite you to visit this page at http://
archla.org/20150721.
Please join me in praying for them.
