From the Pastor’s Laptop
He loves us and He wants our hearts
Fr. Mark Wagner
Dear Parishioners,
Once upon a time
there was a young man
who had a girlfriend, who
did not love him as much
as he loved her. She was
materialistic and was flirtatious with
every man she met. Ever since childhood
she was insecure and hungry for attention
and love because she did not have a
respectful father nor a nurturing mother
to give her unconditional love. She had
the habit of dressing immodestly and
collecting material things. Her restless
heart was never happy unless she was
shopping for makeup and fashionable
clothes. One day her boyfriend got angry
about the extra makeup and expensive
accessories and he said: “STOP! Stop
trying to buy love! Why can’t you believe
that I will give you all the love you
need?”
This little story is a modern parable
WE are like that
about US.
girlfriend. We are hungry for love and we
look for it in all the wrong places. Jesus
wants us to trust in Him: that He will give
us all the love we need. But instead we
are distracted by material things and we
are too busy trying to find immediate
satisfaction in our selfish pursuits. We
forget that Jesus wants to be the
“bridegroom of our souls” and that we
belong to Him. Our bodies are temples
which must be dedicated to Him.
This little parable about the boyfriend
can help us understand the story in
today’s Gospel. Jesus is like the boyfriend
who got angry. His love was being
ignored in the temple. Instead people
were buying and selling and seeking
their own selfish pursuits in the house of
God which was supposed to be a place of
prayer and love of God. So He got angry
and turned over their tables and spilled
their coins and said “Stop! Stop making
my Father’s house a marketplace!”
We should return the love of the one
who loves us. But even when we are in
church we are sometimes distracted by
bad thoughts, or we worry about how we
look, or we daydream about work or
business. There is commerce in the temple:
in our thoughts. Jesus wants to say to
us: “Stop!” He loves us and He wants our
hearts. Today is the Feast of the
Dedication of the most important church
in Rome: St. John Lateran. It is a day to
remember that every church is a house of
God where He wants to be loved. And we
also remember that we are temples of
God. He wants to come in. He wants to be
welcomed. He wants to find only love.

Purgatory: Arriving at the Burning Heart of God
Part one of an Essay by Fr. Mark Wagner
In the month of November we pray for the souls of our loved ones who have died and who may be in
the state of purgatory. To understand purgatory it is important, first of all, to understand what it is not.
Purgatory is not a place where sins are forgiven. Sins are already forgiven when one makes a sincere
confession and receives absolution. But sin causes damage to a person’s ability to love. Mortal sin “knocks
the wind out” of a person spiritually. The person is no longer “love capable”. The heart suffers from
“spiritual cardio-sclerosis” and must be stretched and the flame of love rekindled. It takes time for his soul to
go through the painful process of recovering from these harmful effects of sin. So the Church calls this
“expiating the temporal punishments due to sin.” When a man makes a sincere confession, his sins are totally
effaced. But nevertheless the priest gives him a penance which is meant to begin this process of recovery from
the effects of sin. It is a little bit of “exercise” for the heart, so that the heart muscle can get stronger in its
ability to love.
Purgatory is not a place where a person is given a “second chance.” Once he has died, there is no more
possibility of conversion. At the time of death a person's soul is what it is. There are three possibilities:
The first possibility is that the person dies in a state of mortal sin. If his soul is completely devoid of
real love of God and neighbor, then he cannot be in the presence of God who is Love. The person has made
himself incapable of being with God in heaven and will be eternally separated from God. Unrepented mortal
sin causes a soul to be in this state of sin. (This state of separation is called Hell.)
The second possibility is that the person's soul is so full of love of God that he or she enters immediately
into the joys of heaven.
Finally, there are those who at the time of death have some love of God but who are still somewhat
attached to their sinful, selfish ways. They remain somewhat self-centered and their love is divided between
love of God and egoistic love of self. They are still in the habit of putting self before God. The sin is gone, but
they are still “attached to sin.” They are not yet ready to give their full attention to the God of love. The
moment they die, they realize that they cannot yet enter the presence of God who is all holiness and love.
They know that they will eventually enter heaven and so they are grateful, even though the pain of separation
in purgatory is worse than any physical pain that we can suffer in this life.
In the next two weeks we will reflect on the fact that purgatory is more like a state than an actual
place. But it is nevertheless very real. We will see that purgatory prepares us to enter “as through fire” (1Cor.
3:15) into the burning love of God where we will “shine like the sun in our Father’s Kingdom” (Mt. 13:43).
Respect Life
“CHILDREN (are the) springtime of the family and
society...children are the hope that continually
blossoms, a project that starts every anew, the future
that opens without ceasing. They represent the
flowering of married love which is found and
strengthened in them. At their birth they bring a
message of life.”

The Body of Christ
made visible
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
In our catechesis on the Church,
we have seen that the Church is a
spiritual reality, the mystical Body of
Christ. Yet we know that the Church
is also a visible reality, expressed in
our parishes and communities, and
in her institutional structures. This
visible reality is itself mysterious, for
it embraces the countless and often
hidden works of charity carried out
by believers throughout the world.
To understand the relationship
between the visible and the spiritual
dimensions of Christ’s Body, the
Church, we need to look to Jesus
himself, both God and man. Just as
Christ’s humanity serves his divine
mission of salvation, so too, with the
eyes of faith, we can understand
how the Church’s visible dimension
is at the service of her deepest
spiritual reality.
Through her sacraments and her
witness to Christ in our world, the
Church seeks to proclaim and bring
God’s merciful love to all,
particularly the poor and those in
need. Let us ask the Lord to enable
us to grow in holiness and to be an
ever more visible sign of his love for
all mankind.

VETERANS
SALUTE
Merno Stalder
(By Leonard E. Churilla, Military Historian)
Merno Stalder, a veteran of the USMC, was born in Deadwood,
South Dakota. He joined the Corps in 1955 when he was only 17. “I
was very impressed when I met my first drill instructor,” he said. He
went to Basic Training in San Diego and received his G.E.D. certificate
as soon as possible.
Merno’s most memorable experience was while stationed on the
island of Okinawa in 1959. “I was trying to disarm a Japanese land
mine which had been there for 14 years,” he said. “Although I was a
tank mechanic, I was the senior enlisted man on the scene and felt it
my duty to do so.” He was on his second four-year enlistment at the
time. Being severely injured, he received a medical discharge. “I loved
the Corps so much that when the Vietnam War got in full swing I
wanted to sign up again but the medical people would not let me.”
After physical therapy, Merno was later able to get a job in the
trucking industry as a driver. He met his wife, the former Rosalie
James, in Oakland while he was a patient at the naval hospital there.
They had a son, Mark, and a daughter, Debra, who live in Modesto.
Rosalie passed away in 2012 and Merno now lives with his daughter.
“I miss her dearly,” he said, “and promised before she died that I
would become a Catholic.” He went through RCIA at St. Joseph’s and
was confirmed on Holy Thursday, 2014. “There were six of us
converts,” he added. “It was such a blessing and I feel at peace now.”
Merno usually attends the 10:30am Mass on Sundays and visits the
Adoration Chapel on Sunday evenings. He recently joined the Knights
of Columbus and now plans to join the St. Joseph’s Seniors as well. “I
love the Church and am so happy to be here.” Call the Center for Lay
Apostolates for more information about our Military Support Ministry.
Juliana Silvey
Visitors to the Center for
Lay Apostolates at St. Joseph’s (the
Volunteer Center) are almost
always greeted and directed by
Juliana, who functions as the
volunteer manager of the Center.
She is a longtime volunteer, who is
a widow and mother of two
children, Linda and James. When
I first began working at St. Joseph’s,
she welcomed me, gave me the
“inside scoop” and often fed me
lunch, insisting that I take a break.
She continues to Steward both me
and our visitors every day they are
here. If you asked Juliana why
she gives her precious prayer and
service gifts to our parish, her reply
would be: because it needs to be
done and she gets as much back as
she gives. Her gifts are based on a
trust in our Lord—that he will
provide what she needs. She lost
her husband too early and had to
continue as a strong single mother.
I thank God every day that she in
turn continues to “mother” and care
for the volunteers and visitors to
our parish. God bless you, Juliana !

DEL LAPTOP DEL PÁRROCO, Padre Mark
in Rome
Papa Francisco
El Cuerpo de Cristo
hecho visible
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
En otras ocasiones hablamos de la
naturaleza espiritual de la Iglesia, como
Cuerpo de Cristo edificado por el Espíritu
Santo. Hoy nos centramos en lo que
pensamos habitualmente, en lo que se ve, es
decir, sus estructuras, como la parroquia, las
organizaciones
o
las
personas
que
normalmente la guían.
Pero esto no se limita a los obispos o a
los clérigos, sino que comprende a todas las
personas bautizadas que creen, esperan y
aman, haciendo el bien en el nombre de
Jesús, acercándolo así a la vida de los
hermanos. Por eso, lo visible y lo invisible de
la Iglesia no se oponen, sino que se integran
en la única Iglesia.
Esto es un reflejo del misterio de la
persona de Cristo, en la que su naturaleza
divina es inseparable de su naturaleza
humana, que se pone enteramente al
servicio del plan divino de llevar a todos la
redención y la salvación. También la Iglesia, a
través de su realidad visible, como los
sacramentos, el testimonio y el anuncio, está
llamada a hacerse cercana a cada persona,
comenzando por los más pobres, los que
sufren o los marginados, para que todos
sientan la mirada compasiva y misericordiosa
de Jesús.
Quisiera hoy elevar una oración y traer
cerca
de
nuestro
corazón
al
pueblo
Él nos ama y quiere nuestros corazones
Padre Mark Wagner
Querido feligreses,
Había una vez un novio quien sufría
mucho porque su novia no lo amaba tanto
como él la amaba a ella. Ella era materialista y coqueta con todos los hombres. Desde su niñez, ella era insegura y hambrienta
de atención y amor porque no tenía un
padre respetuoso ni una madre que la
amase con amor incondicional. Ella acostumbraba vestirse de manera inmodesta y
era muy aferrada a las cosas materiales. Su
corazón era inquieto y nunca estaba contenta sino cuando iba de compras buscando maquillaje y ropa de la última moda. Finalmente un día su novio se enojó de
la cantidad de maquillaje y de gastos innecesarios y gritó: “¡ALTO! ¡No sigues tratando de comprar amor! ¿Por qué no puedes creer que yo te daré todo el amor que
necesitas?”
Esta pequeña historia es una parábola
moderna de NOSOTROS. NOSOSTROS
somos como esta novia. Estamos hambrientos de amor y lo buscamos en lugares
ecivocados. Pero Jesús quiere que confiemos en Él: que Él puede darnos todo el
amor que necesitamos. En cambio, seguimos distraídos por las cosas materiales. No
estamos contentos pues buscamos satisfacciones inmediatas y perseguimos nuestros
propios intereses. Nos olvidamos que Jesús
quiere ser “el novio de mi alma.” Nuestros
cuerpos son templos que debe ser dedicados a Él.
Esta pequeña parábola del novio puede ayudarnos a entender el Evangelio de
hoy. Jesús es como el novio que se
enojó. En el templo ignoraban su amor
divino, allí donde debe ser una casa de
oración y del amor de Dios. Más bien, buscaban sus propios intereses vendiendo y
comprando cosas. Por eso, Jesús se enojó
y desparramó el dinero al los cambistas y
les volcó las mesas a los vendedores y dijo:
“Quitad esto de aquí. ¡No hagáis de la casa
de mi Padre una casa de mercado!”
Debemos retornar el amor de El quien
nos ama. Pero, aun estando en la iglesia,
estamos a veces distraídos por malos pensamientos, o nos preocupamos por cómo nos
vemos, o soñamos sobre el trabajo o el negocio. Hay comercio en el templo: en nuestros pensamientos. Jesús quiere decirnos:
“¡ALTO!” Él nos ama y quiere nuestros corazones. Hoy es la Fiesta de la Dedicación
de la iglesia más importante en Roma: San
Juan Letrán. Es un día para recordar que
cada iglesia es una casa de Dios dónde Él
quiere ser amado. Y también recordamos
que somos templos de Dios. Él quiere entrar. Él quiere ser aceptado. ¡Él quiere
encontrar sólo amor!
mexicano, que sufre por la desaparición de
sus estudiantes, y por tantos problemas
parecidos.
Que
nuestro
corazón
de

CORRESPONSABILIDAD
(STEWARDSHIP)
Por: Pastoral Juvenil Parroquial
Todos formamos parte de la Iglesia y hemos de
descubrir nuestra vocación en ella.
Padre Hamilton Suarez
Hoy recordamos de una manera
especial la dedicación de la Basílica de
Letrán y, al hacerlo queremos manifestar
nuestro amor y unidad al Romano
Pontífice, pues la basílica de Letrán es la
catedral del Papa en Roma.
El templo material nos ayuda a dar
culto a Dios, a expresar en comunión con
toda la Iglesia la alegría de la salvación y
a corresponder a su amor con nuestro Archibasílica de San Juan de Letrán
agradecimiento y alabanza. Unidos al
Al ver actuar al Señor los discípulos
sucesor de Pedro y a Toda la Iglesia,
recordaron un texto de la escritura: El celo
oramos y cantamos como por una sola
de tu casa me devora. Para nosotros esta es
boca. Dice San Agustín: “Ora en el templo
de Dios quien ora en la paz de la Iglesia, en una invitación a contribuir con nuestra
la unidad del cuerpo de Cristo compuesto santidad al bien de la Iglesia, a recordar la
exhortación de Pablo: Mire cada uno como
por numerosos creyentes del mundo
construye.
entero”.
El evangelio también resalta como
Jesús purifico el templo expulsando a los
mercaderes. Era fácil justificar su
existencia, pues lo numerosos peregrinos
que acudían a Jerusalén necesitaban
cambiar su dinero para hacer la ofrenda
en el templo, y también adquirir animales
para sacrificarlos a Dios. Pero el mercado
había ocupado el espacio del templo y se
anteponían otros intereses a los de Dios.
Todos formamos parte de la Iglesia y
hemos de descubrir nuestra vocación en
ella. La fiesta de hoy nos llena de
agradecimiento por haber sido llamados a
formar parte de ella y también por el
ministerio del Papa Francisco, que nos
guía en el seguimiento de Cristo. Pidamos
por él, para que el Señor no deje de
bendecirlo con su gracia, y también
pidamos por nosotros los templos vivos
para que el Señor nos haga por su gracia
lugar de encuentro con El.

La Renovación
Carismática Católica
La Diócesis de Stockton les hace la cordial invitación al Gran Congreso
Anual de sanación y evangelización. En la predica estarán el Padre
Inocencio Llamas de Venezuela y desde Colombia el Padre Rodolfo
Andrés Londoño junto a nuestro guía espiritual Padre José Domingo.
Les esperamos el 15 y 16 de Noviembre 2014 en el Auditorio Cívico de
Stockton, localizado en el 525 N. Center St.
La entrada es gratis y puertas abren a las 8:00am. Te espera una lluvia de
bendiciones, nuestro Señor Jesucristo te espera con los brazos abiertos.
Juliana Silvey
Los visitantes del Centro de
Apostolados en St. Joseph (el Centro
de Voluntarios) casi siempre son
bienvenidos y dirigidos por Juliana,
quien funciona como el gerente del
Centro de voluntarios . Ella es una
voluntaria por mucho tiempo. Es
viuda y madre de dos hijos, Linda y
James.
Cuando comencé a trabajar en
San St. Joseph, ella me dio la
bienvenida, me dio la "primicia" y
muchas veces me dio de comer el
almuerzo, insistiendo en que me
tomo un descanso. Ella sigue como
corresponsal conmigo y con nuestros
visitantes todos los días.
Si le preguntaras a Juliana por
qué se da sus preciosos regalos de
oraciones y servicio a nuestra
parroquia, su respuesta sería: porque
se tiene que hacer y se recibe tanto
como ella da. Sus regalos se basan en
una confianza en nuestro Señor, que
va a proporcionar lo que necesita.
Ella perdió a su marido demasiado
pronto y tuvo que continuar como
una fuerte madre soltera. Doy
gracias a Dios todos los días que ella
a su vez continúa cuidado de los
voluntarios y visitantes de nuestra
parroquia como "madre." Dios te
bendiga, Juliana!
