Se pt emb er 30 , 2 012 — T WE NT Y- SIX TH SUNDAY IN ORD INARY TIME SA IN T MA RGA R E T MA RY A LAC OQU E We are Catholic Christians striving to love beyond all boundaries and to continue the mission of Christ. He who remains in Love remains in God, and God in him. - 1 John 4:16 A MESSAGE FROM MSGR. MARC 2 T he work of a prophet is to be the voice of God in a world with many contrary voices. A prophetic witness is often disturbing. It reminds us of who we are called to be. It challenges us to make the changes necessary to become what God created. It condemns and offers hope at the same time. It is rarely welcome but always necessary. D uring this past year, many of you have read the story of St. Margaret Mary that was published serially in this Bulletin. She was neither famous nor rich. She lived in obscurity, cloistered in a convent in southeastern France. She never became a leader in her community. In fact, her superiors wondered what benefit she brought to the community. She never moved from her convent after entering and died at the age of 43 in 1690. But this unknown nun was to give the world a gift that few, even of the saints, have been able to share, that is her relationship with the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Monday, October 1 Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus Reading 1: Job 1:6-22 Gospel: Luke 9:46-50 Friday, October 5 Reading 1: Job 38:1, 12-21; 40:3-5 Gospel: Luke 10:13-16 Saturday, October 6 Reading 1: Job 42:1-3, 5-6, 12-17 Gospel: Luke 10:17-24 Tuesday, October 2 Memorial of the Guardian Angels Reading 1: Job 3:1-3, 11-17, 20-23 Gospel: Matthew 18:1-5, 10 Wednesday, October 3 Reading 1: Job 9:1-12, 14-16 Gospel: Luke 9:57-62 T he Sacred Heart shared with Margaret Mary a message of God’s love; that he would give us the graces necessary for our lives, he would console us in trials, be assured refuge in life and death, shed abundant blessings on all our understandings, be an infinite ocean of mercy to the sinner, make fervent the souls of the lukewarm in faith and bring the fervent to perfection. He would bless those who are devoted to him and move the hardest of hearts. It is this message that God continues to declare through the image of the Sacred Heart as shared with this simple nun, this prophet among us. Sunday, October 7 Reading 1: Genesis 2:18-24 Reading 2: Hebrews 2:9-11 Gospel: Mark 10:2-16 Thursday, October 4 Saint Francis of Assisi Reading 1: Job 19:21-27 Gospel: Luke 10:1-12 MENSAJE DE MSGR. MARC 3 El trabajo de un profeta es ser la voz de Dios en un mundo con muchas voces contrarias Un testigo profético a menudo es perturbado. Nos recuerda a lo que estamos llamados a ser. Nos desafía a hacer los cambios necesarios para llegar a ser lo que Dios creó. Condena y ofrece esperanza a la misma vez. Raramente es bienvenido pero siempre necesario. Durante el año pasado, muchos El Sagrado Corazón compartió de ustedes han leído la historia de Sta. Margarita María que fue publicada en serie en este boletín. Ella no fue ni rica ni famosa. Vivía en la oscuridad, enclaustrada en un convento al sureste de Francia. Nunca llego a ser líder en su comunidad. De hecho, sus superioras se preguntaban que beneficio traía a la comunidad. Nunca se movió de su convento desde que entró y murió a la edad de 43 años en 1690. Pero esta desconocida monja fue la que le dio al mundo un regalo que pocos, incluso los santos, han sido capaces de compartir, que es su relación con el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. con Margarita María un mensaje del amor de Dios; que podría darnos las gracias necesarias para nuestras vidas, nos Consuela en las pruebas, es un refugio seguro en la vida y la muerte, derramo abundantes bendiciones sobre todos nuestros entendimientos, un océano de infinita misericordia al pecador, hacer ferviente las almas de los tibios en la fe y traer al ferviente a la perfección. El bendeciría a aquellos que se dediquen a él y a mover los corazones más duros. Este es el mensaje que Dios sigue declarando a través de la imagen del Sagrado Corazón como los compartidos con esta sencilla monja, esta profeta entre nosotros.

Matthew Fox suggests that “we fall in love several times a day for the rest of our loves. You could fall in love with the galaxy – there are a trillion out there!” (How many of us were thrilled and touched as we saw the Endeavor fly over our homes!) “You could fall in love with fish and plants, animals and birds, and with people, especially those who are different from us.” Treat each situation as though you were head over heels in love. It was said of the early Christian communities - see how they love one another. 75 years is a number and a history we are proud of, yet as churches and parishes go - we are but youngsters. It’s early in our SMM parish history, can we say - see how we love one another? Does it show? Does the greater Lomita/ South Bay community see our love as visible and tangible? For your Journal ♥ If we could do anything as a parish, what would it be? ♥ How do we see our mission for the next 75 years? Remember the acronym for mission: Moving In Spirit Seeing Into Others’ Needs Write it in your journal ♥ WE END OUR JUBILEE YEAR HONORING ST. MARGARET MARY AND THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS WITH THIS VERY SPECIAL 9 DAY NOVENA BEGINNING THIS COMING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6 7:00 pm ENDING ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 14 PLEASE JOIN US! O U R F A I T H I N A C T I O N 5 WHAT ST. MARGARET MARY MEANS TO ME by Pat Arnett I was raised in a post WW II Catholic Community filled with ex GIs who decided to settle in California. These faithful, energetic, and dedicated people from all walks of life set about building churches, halls and schools. I was raised in this environment and considered these individuals heroes, and as I grew, friends, who eventually became adopted aunts and uncles to my own children. Their "can do" attitude was a model of success to us. So when my husband and I married and moved four times in five years, we searched for the same model parish. Our list was short: a parish where the sacraments were central, a warm and welcoming people, and a home where we could raise a family. Needless to say Fairbanks, Phoenix and San Francisco were fine, just not home. So, you can imagine our joy when we were led to St. Margaret Mary on a Sunday, as I think, the 11:30 am Mariachi Mass. While not fluent in Spanish, the songs and the 6 piece band brought back a flood of memories from growing up in San Diego. We were greeted with many smiles and welcomes before and after Mass, and we wanted to see more. The bulletin directed me to attended my first Women’s Society Meeting and while there I was not allowed to sit alone for long as Joyce Schroeder and Shirley Lavezzari invited me to join them; our life at St. Margaret Mary took off. I joined St. Anthony’s Guild, Women’s Society, taught Confirmation Classes, as Joe sang in the 10 am choir, joined the Holy Name Society and counted the collection on Sundays. Later we both served on the school parent board, and along the way met and embraced wonderful, faithful people who became key parts of our family and our children’s lives. There was that “can do“ attitude of offering new events or revamping old. More than anything, I remember Sunday Mass, and the community spirit led by our priests that encouraged us to warmly welcome the person in the next pew as a new friend and parishioner. Our parish continues to be innovating by responding to our people’s needs, such as presenting the first St. Peregrines Mass for Cancer patients, survivors, and family and opening it to the entire South Bay. Joe and I had reached our goal: we had found the rich, faith filled family. And when I visited my family in San Diego and mentioned my “faith home” it was well understood that I meant St. Margaret Mary. St. Margaret Mary Jubilee Mass On Sunday, October 14th at 1 pm Saint Margaret Mary will celebrate our 75th Anniversary Mass with Archbishop Gomez, Cardinal Mahoney, Bishop Joe and a number of our former Priests. Because of this special celebration, there will be no 11 am, 12:30 pm Spanish, and 5 pm Sunday Masses. The Mass will bi-lingual so all may participate. There will be a reception following the Mass. 6 E S P I R I T U A L ¿MIRAMOS CON INTENCIONES TORCIDAS? Por Humberto Beltrán A muchos de nosotros nos gusta observar el carácter, la manera de ser, la forma de comportamiento de los demás. Quizá nos preocupamos de estudiar a los demás más que de estudiarnos a nosotros mismos y corregir nuestros defectos. En seguida vemos las faltas de los otros o lo que creemos que son faltas y no vemos, ni queremos ver, lo malo que hay en nosotros mismos. Hay una lectura que nos dice que “nos fijamos en la paja que hay en el ojo ajeno y no nos damos cuenta de la viga que hay en el nuestro” No siempre miramos con intenciones torcidas a los demás. Con frecuencia hay personas que atraen nuestra atención, que nos subyugan. A unos, tal vez, los despreciamos; a otros los envidiamos porque tienen o son más que nosotros. Nos resultan desagradables las personas que obran con doblez, que cambian su manera de obrar, que dicen una cosa y obran al revés de lo que dicen. Sin embargo hay personas a las que admiramos. Querríamos ser como ellas, tener la personalidad, poseer sus cualidades, ser respetados y admirados como ellas. Tiene pensamientos definidos, claros, obran con rectitud y sus ideas son convincentes. No hay mentira ni engaño en su vida. ¿En nuestra fe y moral estamos con Jesucristo? El evangelio de hoy nos da una pauta para nuestra conducta. Trata de decirnos que no seamos volubles en nuestra vida y modo de obrar, que no cambiemos fácilmente nuestra ideas, que no nos acerquemos al sol que más calienta, que no acomodemos las palabras de Cristo a nuestra ideas y caprichos, sino que seamos nosotros quienes nos acomodemos al evangelio, a la doctrina del Maestro. El texto del evangelio de hoy es claro y preciso. En asunto de fe y de moral no cabe término medio, o estamos con Cristo, o estamos contra El. El evangelio no es cómodo, no es fácil. Cristo no vino a facilitarnos la vida, sino a compli- carla. El dijo: “No vine a traer paz, sino guerra”. Y añadió: “Quien no deje a su padre, a su madre y a sus hermanos por Mí, no es digno de Mí”. Cualquier servicio que prestemos a nuestros hermanos Dios nos lo recompensara. El evangelio de hoy recoge varias enseñanzas de Jesús, reunidas en un solo discurso. Este conjunto nos ofrece unas normas de conducta para nuestras relaciones mutuas y también con aquellos que no conocen a Jesús. Observamos a los discípulos en una actitud sectaria, pretenden tener la exclusividad sobre Jesús. Juan, el discípulo amado, tiene una conciencia muy clara de pertenecer a una comunidad estructurada, por so se alarma y pide una rápida intervención de Jesús, para con esta persona que se atreve a evangelizar y expulsar demonios: “Y como no es de los nuestros, se lo prohibimos”. La respuesta de Jesús es clara: no se deben sentir celos ni recelos, sino alegrarse de que practiquen el bien. Todo favor o servicio hecho a un hermano en la fe, así sea sencillo como un vaso de agua, Dios se lo recompensara. Todo servicio que hacemos a un hermano, es a Jesús a quien se lo hacemos. Al que sea ocasión de pecado. Quien ponga un obstáculo a la fe sencilla del que cree, para que tropiece y caiga, merece un castigo de muerte: atarle una piedra de molino al cuello y arrojarlo al mar. Reflexión ¿Y nosotros somos tibios en la fe? ¿Somos capaces de mantenernos en la fe con firmeza? ¿Con que actitudes recibimos el Reino de Dios? O U R F A I T H I N A C T I O N 7 Our Sick Kristopher Lundeen Orveste Brancato Sharon Aaronson Sabrina Holloway Ricki Hoffman Angelina Melit Aura Herrera Martina Acosta Dear Lord please bless these sick with comfort, courage, hope and enduring faith in your loveand protection.

Bao is offering these courses to all parishioners. How well do you know Sacred Scripture? How well do you know the teachings of the Catholic Church? In the coming Year of Faith (Oct. 2012 – Nov. 2013), the Holy Father calls all Catholics around the world to deepen their knowledge of faith in order to become more effective doers and evangelizers of the Word. “Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.” (1 Peter 3:15) Bible Study: Tuesdays, 9:15 AM – 10:30 AM St. Margaret Mary Room Catechism Study: Fridays, 7:15 PM – 8:30 PM St. Joseph Center (begins Friday, Oct. 12, 2012) ORGAN MUSIC IN THE CHURCH FRIDAYS AT 1 PM 8 E N R I Q U E C I E N D O N U E S T R A F E “Amor, amor, amor, todo lo que necesitas es amor” La vida misma nos enseña sobre el amor. Nuestra educación en el amor comienza con nuestro vínculo temprano con nuestros padres. Este continúa con nuestras relaciones familiares que nos dan forma y nuestra autoestima, y primeras amistades y el primer amor abre nuestros ojos a las posibilidades de nuevas combinaciones. El matrimonio y la crianza de los hijos nos da la oportunidad de conseguir el amor correcto en nuestro entorno familiar. También practicamos el amor a través de nuestro trabajo, servicios voluntarios e incluso actividades de ocio. Nadie puede dudar de que la sensación del amor romántico proporciona el combustible que hace que las cosas sucedan. La educadora Gertrud Mueller Nelson escribe: “Es la materia embriagadora que lanza naves y hace que el mundo gire. Se trata de un potente sabor de lo divino como lo experimentamos el uno con el otro.” Piense en un momento en que sintió locamente enamorado. Recordemos como todo giraba alrededor del otro y como todos parecían tener un brillo especial y calidez Para su Diario ♥ ♥¿Hay ♥ ¿Dónde experimenta el amor ahora? alguien que necesita que le diga “te amo”? No espere ¡Dígaselo! ¿A quién conozco que es un ejemplo poderoso de amor en acción y ser?

Sending pictures over the Internet is something that children do all the time. Photo-messaging on cell phones is no different. Children need to be aware why all pictures are not appropriate to send. They also need to know that if they receive a message or image that makes them uncomfortable, they should immediately tell you or another trusted adult. For a helpful pamphlet on cell phone safety, please visit the National Crime Prevention Council website at www.ncpc.org, and click on “cell phone safety.” For particular help, call Assistance Ministry (213) 637-7650.
