March 8, 2015 - St. Rose of Lima

"To evangelize and share the Gospel,
walk with one another on our journey of
faith, and draw others into Christ's
one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church."
3rd Sunday of Lent
March 8, 2015
The Ten Commandments:
A Compass for our Lives
In God’s loving mercy he gave us a path to
follow. A path that will guide us in this life, and
lead us to our eternal happiness with Him.
During this Lenten season let us examine our
conscience, are we obeying His
Commandments, or are we picking and
choosing which ones to keep?
Do we regard them as suggestions rather than
commandments?
It is our prayer that during this Lenten season
we will awake to His calling and embrace His
Commandments as we journey together on the
path that will lead us Home.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) Scrutinies and Presentation of The Creed
On the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent the
Church celebrates the “Scrutinies” for the
Elect (the unbaptized adults preparing for
Baptism at the Easter Vigil). (Cycle A
Readings for the 9 AM & 11 AM Masses.)
To “scrutinize” means to take a long and
careful look at the ways we need to be healed
and strengthened. In the Scrutinies, the Elect
and the Community both acknowledge the
power of evil that hinders them from
following Christ, and the Elect give public
witness to their ongoing conversion.
Conversion is not about punishment for sin; it
is about an all-loving, merciful God who
offers to save us from sin. Conversion is an
opportunity to change.
The First Scrutiny celebrated on the 3rd
Sunday of Lent asks us to reflect on the
readings and consider the following questions.
In what way have you experienced being an outcast?
Who have you made an outcast and why? What are the
deep thirsts of our world;
Our society; Our
Communities? What are my own deep thirsts? These are
just a few of the questions the Elect have reflected on
when they kneel before the altar today.
During the week after the 3rd Sunday of Lent, the Elect
are presented with the Creed. The word “Creed” comes
from the first word of the Latin document: “credo”
meaning, “I Believe.” It is an ancient statement of faith
that tells us what the early church believed and what we
continue to believe today. During this Rite, the Elect are
presented with the essential mysteries of our faith
professed in the Nicene Creed and we ask God to purify
the Elect to make them worthy to receive the grace of
Baptism. The Creed will be presented at 6:45 PM,
Wednesday, March 11th in the Church. The Parish
Community is welcome to join us to show your ongoing
support.

Sermon continued from last Sunday’s bulletin. March 1
We can’t put them into test tubes or subject them to psychoanalysis. The most that scientists
can do is to observe the effects of demons on our physical world or on human behavior.
And, sadly, the prevailing mentality among most of them is that they seek other explanations
for demonic phenomena, even when those explanations are utterly inadequate.
The second reason we believe in the existence of the devil is because several passages in the Bible testify
to the existence of the devil and his evil allies. In particular, the Gospels record that Jesus conversed with the
devil. As we heard in today’s Gospel and we read in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, our Lord’s debate
with the devil in the wilderness was not some inner dialogue with Himself about temptation. Also, Jesus
referred to the devil on several occasions and a huge and indispensable part of Jesus’ public ministry was
casting evil spirits out of people who were possessed by them.
Of course, some interpreters have claimed that when Jesus cast out evil spirits, Jesus was simply healing a
physical or mental disorder misunderstood as demonic possession. But we only need to reply that on at least
one occasion, at Christ’s command, the exorcised demons left their human host to take possession of a herd of
pigs. You can’t cast a medical disorder out of a man into a pig.
If Jesus, God’s Son, knew what He was doing—as we believe—and if the Gospel accounts are historically
reliable—as we also believe—then we must conclude that the forces described in the Gospels as evil spirits are
precisely that.
Third, we believe in the reality of demonic powers because this belief has been the constant teaching of the
Catholic Church ever since Jesus founded the Church. The Apostles and their successors repeatedly have
written about the devil. Through the centuries, Popes, Councils, and great theologians of the Faith have
consistently affirmed that the devil is real. Numerous saints whose moral integrity and mental health can
hardly be debated have testified to personal battles with demons. Also, the devil is referred to in our Sacred
Liturgy, especially in the last petition of the Our Father: “Deliver us from Evil.”
The fourth reason we believe in the existence of the devil is from our own personal experience of human
events. Something supernaturally evil gets into people to have them do the horrific, inhuman, evil things they
do—whether you are speaking about the Nazi concentration camps and their brutal annihilation of the Jewish
people and others, or, more recently, the horrific atrocities done by Islamic jihadist terrorists.
So, who is this ENEMY we are battling? The Church teaches that Satan and the other demons were, at first,
good angels, created by God before the creation of the world and the human race. They became evil by their
own free choice, radically rejecting God, His Dominion, and His Plan of salvation. They cannot repent of their
evil because the choice they made against God is irrevocable.
Satan was the leader of the rebels. God used St. Michael and the good angels to defeat Satan and his evil
cohorts and to cast them out of heaven. Now they make their influence felt in our world.
Since demons are fallen angels, we know what they can and cannot do. Like humans, they have intellects and
free wills. But, unlike humans, they are pure spiritual beings; they have no physical bodies as we do that
would make them subject to death or physical ailments.
Because they have an angelic nature, demons have certain kinds of superhuman powers. They are far superior
to us in strength, skill, intelligence, and knowledge. And since they have no physical bodies, they don’t move
through space or occupy space. But they can act on physical things and can shift their attention and their
activity instantly from one place to another.

Forgiveness: Getting On With It – Not Easy but Possible
So many good people suffer from an inner uneasiness hat simply will not go away. Often it is
related to a seeming inability to forgive someone, something, even God and themselves.
The Word of God in the scripture and the prayers of forgiving can release us
from the burden and grant us a new freedom.
Please join Sister Regina Robbins, SND on Tuesday, March 24, from 7:00 – 8:30 PM, as she guides us
through an exploration of forgiveness and reconciliation as possible realities for everyone. The evening will
take place at the Sisters of Notre Dame Center, 1776 Hendrix Avenue, Thousand Oaks 91360.
Please contact Sister Marie Paul Grech, SND at 805-496-3242 x 460 or Anne Interrante at
805-917-3712 by Friday, March 20 to make your reservation.

"Marriage is a covenant by which a man and a woman establish
between themselves a partnership of the whole of life and which is
ordered by its nature to the good of the spouses and the procreation
and education of offspring", and which "has been raised by Christ the
Lord to the dignity of a Sacrament between the baptized.”

Did you Know?
Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is healthy
Teaching children about boundaries and safe touches is not sex
education. There are many safety issues we teach children: bike
safety, water safety, fire prevention, driver's training, etc. Personal
safety programs should have age appropriate lessons that give
children the skills they need to protect themselves without
frightening them. Keeping children unaware of the dangers
around them does not keep them safe. Predators count on children
not knowing what to do. For more information, please visit:

Es saludable enseñar a los niños sobre la seguridad personal y
los límites del contacto físico con otros
Enseñar a los niños sobre los límites y cuando un contacto físico
con otros es seguro no es educación sexual. Hay muchos temas de
seguridad que enseñamos a los niños: seguridad en las bicicletas,
seguridad en el agua, prevención de incendios, entrenamiento
para conducir, etc. Los programas de seguridad personal deben
contar con lecciones apropiadas para la edad, que les brinde a los
niños la información que ellos necesitan para protegerse sin
asustarlos. Mantener a los niños sin el conocimiento de los
peligros a su alrededor no los mantiene seguros. Los predadores
cuentan con que los niños no saben lo que hacen. Para más

Segunda parte del
artículo del libro
"Manual de Guerra
Espiritual".
No podemos ponerlos en los
tubos de prueba o sujetarlos al
sicoanálisis. Lo máximo que
la mayoría de los científicos
pueden hacer es observar los
efectos de demonios en
nuestro mundo físico o en
comportamiento humano. Y,
tristemente, la mentalidad que
prevalece entre la mayor parte
de ellos es que buscan otras
explicaciones para los
fenómenos demoníaca, aun
cuando esas explicaciones
sean completamente
inadecuadas.
La segunda
razón que creemos en la
existencia del diablo es
porque varios pasajes en la
biblia atestiguan a la
existencia del diablo y de sus
aliados
del
mal.
Particularmente, los
evangelios registran que Jesús
conversó con el diablo.
Como oímos en el Evangelio
de hoy y leímos en los
Evangelios de Mateo y de
Lucas, la discusión de nuestro
Señor con el diablo en el en
desierto y no era un diálogo
interno sobre la tentación.
También, Jesús se refirió al
diablo en varias ocasiones y
una
gran
parte
e
imprescindible en el
ministerio público de Jesús'
era el de liberar a la gente que
era poseída por espíritus
malignos.
Por supuesto, algunos
intérpretes han dicho que
cuando Jesús echó afuera a
los espíritus malignos, era
simplemente una sanación
de un desorden físico o
mental entendido como
como posesión demoníaca.
Pero necesitamos solamente
contestar eso en por lo
menos una ocasión, en el
comando de Cristo, los
demonios exorcistados
salieron del ser humano y
tomaron posesión de una
manada de cerdos.
Usted no puede echar un
desorden médico fuera de
un hombre en un cerdo.
Si Jesús, Hijo de Dios,
sabía lo que hacia—como
nosotros creemos—y si el
Evangelio
es
tán
históricamente confiable—
como nosotros también
creemos—entonces que
debemos concluir que las
fuerzas descritas en los
Evangelios como espíritus
malignos son exactamente
eso. Tercero, creemos en la
realidad de las energías
demoniacas porque esta
creencia ha sido la
enseñanza constante de la
Iglesia Católica desde que
Jesús fundó la Iglesia. Los
Apósteles y sus sucesores
han escrito en varias
ocasiones sobre el diablo.
Con los siglos, los Papas,
los Consejos, y los grandes
teólogos de la fe han
afirmado constantemente
que el diablo es verdadero.
Numerosos santos de
integridad moral y salud
mental han atestiguado las
batallas personales con los
demonios.
También, se refieren al
diablo en nuestra Liturgia
Sagrada, especialmente en
la ultima petición del Padre
Nuestro: “Líbranos del
Mal.” La cuarta razón que
creemos en la existencia del
diablo es de nuestra propia
experiencia personal de
acontecimientos humanos.
Algo malo supernatural
entra en la gente y consigue
que ella haga cosas
horríficas, inhumanas,
malvadas—si usted está
hablando sobre los campos
de concentración Nazis y su
aniquilación brutal de la
gente Judía y de otras, o,
más recientemente, las
atrocidades horríficas
hechas por los terroristas
Islámicos del jihadist.
¿Así pues, quién es este
ENEMIGO que estamos
luchando? La Iglesia enseña
que Satanás y los otros
demonios eran, al principio,
buenos ángeles, creados por
Dios antes de la creación
del mundo y de la raza
humana. Llegaron a ser
malvados por su propia
opción libre, rechazando
radicalmente a Dios, Su
Dominio, y Su Plan de la
Salvación. No pueden
arrepentirse de su mal
porque la opción que
hicieron contra Dios es
irrevocable.
Satanás era el líder de los
rebeldes. Dios usó a San
Miguel y los buenos
ángeles para derrotar a
Satanás y sus cohortes
malvados y para echarlos
fuera de cielo. Ahora se
siente su influencia en
nuestro mundo.
Puesto
que los demonios son
ángeles caídos, sabemos lo
que pueden y no pueden
hacer.
Como seres
humanos, tienen intelectos
y voluntad libre. Pero,
desemejante de los seres
humanos, son solo seres
espirituales; no tienen
ningún cuerpo físico como
nosotros que los harían
conforme a la muerte o a
dolencias físicas.
Porque tienen una
naturaleza angelical, los
demonios tienen ciertas
clases de energías
sobrehumanas. Son
superiores a nosotros en
fuerza,
habilidad,
inteligencia,
y
conocimiento. Y puesto
que no tienen ningún
cuerpo físico, no se
mueven a través del
espacio u ocupan espacio.
Pero pueden actuar en
cosas físicas y pueden
moverse de lugar y poner
su atención y su actividad
instantáneamente.
