NOT WATCHING FOR THE SECOND COMING
As we near the end of the Church year, the scriptures become more urgent. Both the
prophet Malachi and Jesus in the Gospel according to Luke offer graphic pictures of a
terrible future. But we are missing the message if we use these passages to speculate about
when the world will end. The troubles predicted have already occurred, and then some. In
the last century alone we have seen devastation beyond anything the ancient prophets could
have imagined.
We weren’t given these passages to strike fear in our hearts, but faith. The sun of justice
will rise, Malachi assures us, for those who are faithful. And Jesus promises, “By your
perseverance you will secure your lives.” But it is Paul who brings the message down to
earth. The Thessalonians were so sure that the end of the world was upon them, some of
them had stopped working! Paul states his case clearly: “If anyone was unwilling to
work, neither should that one eat.” We are not called to worry about how things will end,
but to live today faithfully. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
We are faced with strong and disturbing readings today that hold a certain fascination,
since they seem at first glance to be blueprints for future inevitable wars and hardship.
A fundamentalist interpretation focuses on this aspect. Yet we hear them at our Sunday
celebration of the Eucharist, which infuses them with hope and optimism. Rather than
dreading the future, today’s liturgy assures us that God is with us in all of life’s
inevitable trials, and that we have a role in shaping the outcome of human history.
Occasionally, some Christians have attempted to decode these readings for an exact
measure of the world’s end, but they have thus far been disappointed.
“Nothing lasts forever” is a lyric from a Broadway show. Stars fall from the sky,
leaves wither and fall, mountains wash into the sea, human projects and governments
totter and collapse with great regularity. Today’s liturgy opposes this idea as
incomplete, reminding us that Christ has made a permanent change in human history,
and that life in him is life forever. Rather than inviting us to throw in the towel, today’s
liturgy strengthens us for acts of goodness and grace in our families, communities, and
world. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
NO ESTAR ATENTOS A LA SEGUNDA VENIDA
Al acercarse el final del año litúrgico, la Sagrada Escritura se hace más urgente. Tanto el
profeta Malaquías como Jesús en el Evangelio de Lucas ofrecen descripciones gráficas de
un terrible futuro. Pero estamos perdiendo el mensaje si usamos estos pasajes para
especular sobre cuándo se acabará el mundo. Los problemas predichos, y muchos más, han
ocurrido ya. Nada más en el siglo pasado, hemos visto devastaciones peores que las que los
antiguos profetas hubieran podido imaginar.
No se nos dieron estos pasajes para llenarnos el corazón de temor sino de fe. El sol de
justicia brillará, nos asegura Malaquías, para quienes son fieles. Y Jesús promete:
“Manténganse firmes y se salvarán”. Pero es Pablo quien presenta el mensaje más
escuetamente. Los tesalonicenses estaban tan convencidos de que el fin del mundo estaba
cerca, ¡que algunos de ellos dejaron de trabajar! Pablo les explica su condición
claramente: “… si alguien no quiere trabajar, que no coma”. No somos llamados a
preocuparnos sobre cómo terminarán las cosas, sino a vivir fielmente hoy.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Aproximadamente en 1589 los colonizadores de Ecuador quisieron tener una patrona
para su territorio y pidieron al artista, Diego de Robles, una imagen de la virgen de la
Presentación. Cuando el escultor quiso entregar la imagen, quienes la ordenaron no
pudieron pagar. No sabiendo que hacer con la imagen la vendió a un grupo de indígenas Oyacachis por unos tablones de cedro fino. Los Oyacachis reconocieron en la imagen a la Señora que se les había aparecido en una cueva prometiendo proteger sus niños de unos peligrosos osos en la zona. En 1604, los indígenas cristianizados entregaron la imagen al obispo quien la instaló en la iglesia del pueblo de Quinche.
Es interesante como esta virgencita comisionada por españoles pasa a manos de los
nativos. Ella misma y el Niño Dios que carga en brazos son de aspecto mestizo, con
ojos asiáticos. Diego de Robles la había diseñado pensando en el nuevo pueblo que
vendría del mestizaje de los europeos con el pueblo nativo. “La pequeñita”, como la
llama su pueblo, pudo unir en si misma la diversidad de su hijos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz,

A Round of Applause
With the Sacred Heart Church
and School Festival behind us,
it is time to say thank you to so many
parishioners, parents, families and
friends that came together to prepare
and present our festival, making it a
huge success.
The list of those to be thanked includes a multitude of people: Those who worked in the booths preparing such a wonderful variety
of foods, those who manned the children’s games, those who helped with set up, tear down and certainly clean-up. The local produce community was, once again, very generous with their donations to a variety of booths.
We do want to mention a few Salinas community members and organizations that were very generous in their support of our project,
some from day one all the way through the final details. We are very grateful to the following:

Planning for the festival
began in early June when a
group of parishioners and
school parents came together
to take on the task of making
the 2013 festival a fun and
profitable event. This group of
dedicated volunteers donated their Time, Talent and Treasure to
ensure the success of this important community event. We want to
extend a special and heartfelt thank you to each person who worked on this committee.
To be successful, a festival needs to bring people together. We estimated that over 2,000
people attended throughout the day. Also, fund raising is an important aspect by which
to gauge the success of a festival. Therefore we are proud to announce that we raised
over $35,000!!!
Thank you to all who helped in any way to make the 2013 Sacred Heart Parish and School Festival a success.
Planning for the 2014 Festival should begin early next year – think about volunteering your time and
your talent!
Please pray for the sick
in our Parish
and for those who
care for them:

I-HELP – HAS A NEW HOME! For 25 years, the
homeless men in Salinas have been served dinner and
stayed overnight in a different Church every day of the
week. We here at Sacred Heart have been fortunate enough
to offer them our hospitality twice a month. The I-Help
Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to
thank Sacred Heart and to let the parish know that these
men will now have a fixed emergency shelter in which to
stay (3050 Lexington Ct., Marina CA). But … imagine
what it would be like if you were moving into a place of
your own with nothing more than a backpack and the
clothes on your back. Life has not given them an easy road,
but just one caring adult, one simple act can make a
difference in the life of our homeless. Remember …
HOMELESS doesn’t mean heartless AND jobless does not
mean hopeless. Here is a “wish list” of things they could
use in their new home. For more information please call:
831-384-3388 or visit the Shelter Outreach Plus website at

INTERNATIONAL RESTORATIVE JUSTICE—November is International Restorative Justice Month. It’s
been pointed out by scholars, sociologists and religious leaders that our criminal justice system is grounded in
retribution. Those convicted of crimes-especially violent acts—are to be locked away and punished by the
government. Besides cooperating with the police and testifying in court, victims play no further role in the
adversarial process. And rehabilitating offenders, at best, is an afterthought for the two million men and women
incarcerated in the United States today. Starting with their 2000 pastoral letter, “Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and
Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice,” U.S. Bishops have advocated for a more
humane approach called “Restorative Justice” to repair the harm caused by criminal behavior to the extent possible.
The growing social justice movement encourages victims, offender dialogue, restitution, victim and ex-offender
assistance, sentencing circles and community service. Crime is viewed as an offense against human relationships,
so the focus is on healing. By participating in victim-centered programs, offenders see firsthand the impact of their
crimes. Bishop Richard J. Garcia of Monterey said, “For the past fifteen years that I have visited and gotten to
know inmates in States Prisons in two Dioceses, I have come to realize how necessary Restorative Justice is, to
offer holistic healing and inner transformation to move on in life for all involved in any particular crime.” To learn
more about Restorative Justice from a Catholic perspective, please visit restorejustice.com.
