Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Seeking a child’s heart
Buscar ser niño de Corazón
Today’s readings and prayers remind us to approach
God with the heart of a child which is open and trusting
– unblemished by adult insecurities. Saint James
speaks to this point as he writes to his community about
what they should desire and seek. He says, “You ask
but do not receive, because you ask wrongly,
[spending] it on your passions.” Saint James reminds us
that “where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is
disorder and every foul practice.” This is the situation in
the gospel where the apostles are arguing about “who
[is] the greatest.” Jesus’ teachings of love of God and
neighbor are being drowned out by human ambitions
which provoke the fearful responses that are listed in
the Book of Wisdom. These human ambitions corrupt
the heart of the “wicked one” who enumerates the evil
actions he wishes “to beset against the just one.” Jealousy and fear have challenged goodness. Jesus understands this as he silences the apostles’ discussion
by drawing a child close to him, and reminding the
apostles how they should approach God and one another. He tells them to drop all pretense and posturing
and remember that, “Whoever receives one child such
as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives
me, receives not me but the One who sent me.” This
proclamation focuses on the heart of a
child which is guileless and without
standing.
Absolute trust, the complete abandonment from fear, is the
disposition we must seek in our relationship with God. As we embrace his
promise to be our Lord for ever, we
proclaim, “Behold, God is my helper;
the Lord sustains my life. «I will
praise your name, O Lord, for its goodness” {Responsorial Psalm}.
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos recuerdan que
debemos acercarnos a Dios con un corazón de niño, el
cual está abierto y confía – sin las inseguridades de los
adultos. Santo Santiago habla de este punto al escribirle a su comunidad y decirles lo que deben desear y buscar. Les dice, “piden mal, para dar satisfacción a sus
pasiones.” Santo Santiago nos recuerda que “donde
hay envidias y rivalidades, hay desorden y toda clase de
males.” Esta es la situación en el Evangelio cuando los
apóstoles están discutiendo sobre “quien era el más
importante.” Las enseñanzas de Jesús sobre el amor
de Dios y del prójimo se hunden en las ambiciones humanas que provocan respuestas como las que se describen en el Libro de la Sabiduría. Estas ambiciones
humanas corrompen el corazón del “impío” y así aumentan sus deseos y acciones por “acechar al justo.”
Los celos y el miedo retan la bondad. Jesús entiende
esto, calla la discusión de sus apóstoles al acercar a un
niño. Les recuerda a los apóstoles como es que deben
acercarse a Dios y al prójimo. Les dice que dejen de
aparentar y presumir y que recuerden que, “El que acoge a un niño como éste en mi nombre me acoge a mí; y
el que me acoge a mí no me acoge a mí, sino al que me
ha enviado.” Esta proclamación se
enfoca en el corazón de un niño honesto y sin títulos. La confianza absoluta, el abandono total del miedo,
es la disposición que debemos buscar en nuestra relación con Dios. Al
abrazar su promesa de que Él es
nuestro Señor para siempre, proclamamos, “Dios es mi auxilio, el Señor
sostiene mi vida«Oh Dios, sálvame
por tu nombre, sal por mí con tu poder.” (Salmo Responsorial)

Parish News
Canonization of the Blessed Fr. Serra
Pope Francis will be canonizing Father Junípero Serra,
the founder of the California Missions and faithful apostle, on September 23, 2015, during his first Papal visit to
the United States. The canonization of Blessed Junípero
Serra is a great blessing for our Church, for our state and
our nation. He will be the first Hispanic Saint from the
United States and will be the first U.S. Saint canonized on
American soil. Did you know that in 1773, Serra traveled
to Mexico City and presented a list of grievances, Representación, to Viceroy Bucareli delineating 32 points of
contention? He insisted that soldier immorality, especially
the violation of Native American women, was widespread.
He urged the Viceroy to replace the military commander
in California. The Viceroy agreed to this. The Viceroy’s
entire response to Serra became known as “the first significant body of laws to govern early California.”
Little Bethlehem
Little Bethlehem will be selling their
works of art made from the trimmings of
the holy land live trees after all the
masses this weekend. The olive wood
has a unique beauty and quality that is
not found in other wood. The fixed collar is a result of oil
in the wood fibers. The beauty of the grains, ripples, and
the contrasting color lines makes each one by itself, eyecatching. These carvings don’t need much care since
olive oil naturally protects them from corrosion and
changes of color. Presently, there are 30 families in the
city of Bethlehem who still practice this art, and depend
on it as their source of income. Our NOURA family is one
of Bethlehem’s oldest families and they are proud to continue the olive wood carving tradition.

Datos de fe sobre el Beato Junípero Serra
¿Sabías que en 1773, Fray Serra viajo a la
Ciudad de México y presentó una lista de
agresiones, Representación, al Virrey
Bucareli trazando 32 puntos de represión?
Insistió que la moralidad de los soldados, en
especial la violación de las mujeres Nativas
Americanas, fue generalizada. Insto al Virrey para que
reemplazara al comandante militar en California. El
Virrey accedió a esto. La respuesta del Virrey a Serra
llego a ser conocida como "el primer cuerpo significativo
de leyes para gobernar en los principios de California".
