It might be a family reunion, since summer is the best time to get together. A high school reunion or college reunion may also be a great time to get together with old friends. I suspect many of you reading this article may have experienced a reunion of some kind at some time in your life. Well, on August 9, 2016, we who have been associated with the RCIA Process (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) whether candidate, catechumen, sponsor or team member celebrated our reunion. With the assistance of Susan Daley and Father Ken Schmit, our pastor, formal invitations were sent to all associated with the RCIA Process for the last ten years. We gathered first at the 5:30pm Saturday Mass and followed it with a potluck. Those attending were about forty in number as we shared friendship, food, fellowship and fun! There was abundance all around. We set aside a time for sharing our memories of the experiences of the RCIA process. The candidates and catechumen, sponsors and team members shared some special moments they recalled in preparation for the Easter Vigil. As the evening came to a close, there was a sense of belonging. A felt sense of intimacy with Jesus, church and one another and a sense of community was felt throughout. We look forward to another reunion celebration, recognizing Jesus’ invitation and call to all. If you are interested in knowing more about the RCIA process, please contact Donna Beam in the office, at 949-494-9701, ext. 113.

Alms are mercy translated into hands-on compassion. Jesus confirms Sirach’s wisdom, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7). “Conduct your affairs with humility” (Sirach 3:17). Humility: we’re all alike and special, for we’re children of God. Jesus confirms that wisdom, too: “Do not recline at table in the place of honor. Take the lowest place” (Luke 14:8, 10). In fact, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite friends, relatives, wealthy neighbors. Invite the poor, crippled, lame, blind,” physically or figuratively, society’s most vulnerable and marginalized, “who cannot repay you” (see 14:12–14). Jesus seems to be telling us to prepare for eternity with God’s chosen by becoming their friend here and now. Mercy is measured not by our delight in welcoming those we like most or who can repay us best, but by sincerely embracing those we like least, who cannot repay us at all. Utter humility inspires pure mercy; pure mercy leads to eternal joy.

If you have any questions please call our Religious Education Director, Gina Stewart at 494-9701 ext. 119. RCIA SPONSORS NEEDED We are now blessed to have several adults who are in the RCIA process. An important part of this process is the personal touch of a sponsor from our congregation to move alongside of them during this time. Basically, a sponsor is a friend. One who is supportive and welcoming to the new candidate as they learn about the Catholic faith. A person who will be invitational and include them in their everyday lives and events. Do you recognize these gifts in yourself? If you do, we need you to share them! A sponsor is a vital part of the process and a link to the social and spiritual life of our church. The sponsor will attend the RCIA meetings after the 9am mass. They are not expected to be experts in Catholicism and know everything there is about the faith. We as a team certainly do not. What we hope to do is evangelize, which is an important part of this present period of “Inquiry” and Precatechumenate. We share our stories! We share about Jesus’ forgiveness and unconditional love”. As we share, we learn more about our faith and our personal relationship with Jesus. It is a fun, interesting and vital ministry. We laugh, cry, celebrate and learn together in a social and spiritual environment. In the near future you will be hearing first hand from some of our past sponsors and their experiences. If you have any interest in learning about the ministry and hearing more about it, would you please contact me in the church office, 949-494-9701 ext. 113.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Por esta época recordamos la natividad de María, madre de Jesús. María es muy popular entre muchos pueblos y en especial en los pueblos latinos. Al principio del mes de septiembre dos naciones toman la fiesta de su nacimiento para recordarla bajo el titulo de la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre en Cuba y de Nuestra Señora de Coromoto en Venezuela. La Virgen del Cobre fue descubierta en el siglo XVI por dos indígenas y un niño africano llamados los tres Juanes, cuando estos fueron al mar en busca de sal. Después de una fuerte tempestad ellos encontraron flotando sobre las olas una pequeña imagen de María con el Niño Dios en brazos. La imagen flotaba sobre una tabla que decía yo soy la Virgen de la Caridad. Milagrosamente la imagen estaba seca. También en el siglo XVI la Virgen se le apareció al cacique de los indígenas Coromoto en Venezuela. Estos resistían la evangelización y ella se apareció sobre las aguas invitándolos al bautizo cristiano. Estas dos manifestaciones marianas llevan a Jesús en brazos recordándonos que María nada puede sin Cristo. Año Jubilar de la Misericordia 28 de agosto de 2016 Vigésimo Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario “En tus asuntos procede con humildad” (Eclesiástico 3:17). Humildad: todos somos parecidos y únicos por que somos hijos de Dios. Jesús nos da una explicación de lo que es tener humildad “no te sientes en el lugar principal . . . ocupa el último lugar” (Lucas 14:8, 10). De hecho “cuando des una comida o una cena, no invites a tus amigos, ni a tus hermanos, ni a tus parientes, ni a los vecinos ricos; . . . Invita a los pobres, a los lisiados, a los cojos y a los ciegos” física o simbólicamente, los más vulnerables y marginados de la sociedad “por que ellos no tienen con qué pagarte” (ver 14:12–14). Parece que Jesús está por decirnos que nos preparemos para la eternidad con los elegidos de Dios haciéndonos su amigo aquí y ahora. La misericordia no se mide por el placer de ser anfitriones de quienes mejor nos pueden devolver el favor de una invitación, sino por aceptar sinceramente la compañía de aquellas personas que no nos caen bien, de quien no podrían devolvernos el favor de una invitación. Una completa humildad inspira misericordia pura y una misericordia pura nos guía a una alegría eterna.
