God bless you all! LOVE ONE ANOTHER Last Sunday we heard the familiar passage from John’s Gospel in which Jesus uses the metaphor of the vine and the branches. In that passage we were told that if we remained in Christ we would bear much fruit. Today’s Gospel tells us just what that fruit is: love. Today’s second reading and Gospel together create a great hymn to love. The chorus of this hymn is simple—God loves us so much that Jesus was sent into the world so that we would have life. The Lord Jesus, who last week told us to remain in him, this week tells us to remain in his love. In a world marked by division and terrorism, the Lord’s final words in today’s Gospel are a great challenge: “This I command you: love one another.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles also (Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48). Psalm — The Lord has revealed to the Nations his saving power (Psalm 98). Second Reading — God is love (1 John 4:7-10) or 1 John 4:11-16. Gospel — No one has greater love than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends (John 15:9-17) or John 17:11b-19.

VIRTUS Re-Certification for Volunteers For CTK volunteers who completed VIRTUS in 2011 or before Thursday June 18, 2015 — 7PM to 9PM Don’t know if you are due? Contact the Office PLEASE CALL 323-465-7605 to enroll. Child molesters look like everyone else. They do not look like scary people that anyone should know to avoid. They do live with their families and in our neighborhoods. An important way to assure the safety of children is to know the warning signs of adults who present a risk of harm to children. Some of these signs include: 1. Wanting to be alone with children. 2. Allowing children to do things their parents would not permit. 3. Being more excited to be with children than with adults. 4. Discouraging others from participating in activities involving kids. For information about the VIRTUS® Child Sexual Abuse Prevention programs contact: [email protected] or go to www.virtus.org. LIVING AS MARY LIVED face was the first face that Jesus saw when he came into this world. Her M ary’s voice was the first voice he heard. She was with him also at the end of his life. He was looking at her in the moments before he gave up his life for us on the cross. The last conversation that Jesus had was with Mary. And it was about us. We all remember the scene at the foot of the cross. It is filled with sadness. Jesus sees Mary and the apostle John there. He says to his mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then he says to St. John, “Behold your mother!” From that moment on, the Gospel tells us, John took Mary to his own home. Jesus was doing what any good son would do. He was making sure that his mother would be well taken care of after he was gone. So he entrusted her to his beloved disciple. But he was also making provisions for us. His words, “Behold your mother!” are a command. They are addressed to everyone who would be his disciple. Jesus entrusted each one us to Mary. His last wish — some call it his last will and testament — was that his mother would be our mother. As St. John did, each of us must take Mary into our “own home,” into our lives. We must have a deep personal relationship with her — one of love, affection, devotion and trust. Jesus grew in wisdom in the household at Nazareth, with Mary and St. Joseph. We can grow in faith and holiness too if we stay close to Mary. We need to be like good children, listening to her words and learning from her example. Mary told the angel at the Annunciation, “Let it be done to me according to your word.” Mary entrusted herself totally to God’s will for her life. She made a conscious decision to cooperate with his will, to be a “handmaid” to his plan of salvation. I like to think that Jesus learned something of his own attitude of trust in God’s will from Mary. We can hear her faith reflected in the words that Jesus taught his disciples to pray: “Thy will be done.” We can hear how deeply Jesus himself lived this attitude of abandonment to God’s will. On the night he was asked to die for us, he prayed: “Not my will, but thine be done.” That’s the attitude we need to live as children of God and children of Mary. Like Jesus and like Mary, we need to trust that our heavenly Father knows what is best for us, that he has a plan and a purpose for our lives. We need to say to God in every circumstance, “Not my will, but thy will be done.” We can also learn a lot from Mary’s habit of reflecting on the life of her son. The Gospel says she treasured his words and pondered the meaning of his actions: “She kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.” In this, too, she can be our model. We should spend some time each day contemplating Jesus’ words and deeds through our prayerful reading of the Gospels. Like Mary, we should keep his words and example in our ear. We should pray for the grace we need every day to love her more and to be more like Jesus. As we pray for one another this week, let us all try to take some practical steps to deepen our devotion to Mary. Maybe that means praying the rosary with more devotion and affection. Maybe it means saying a special Marian prayer, like the Memorare. One practice I recommend: Start the habit of asking Mary often during the course of the day: “Show yourself to be a mother to me!” This prayer comes from an ancient hymn, Ave Maris Stella (“Hail Star of the Sea”). Many saints have used these words to ask for Mary’s help. Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta would pray: “Mary, Mother of Jesus, be Mother to me now.” Let us ask Mary’s intercession to help us love her as Jesus loved her. And let us dedicate ourselves to sharing our lives generously with others — as our Blessed Mother did. Archbishop Gomez Editor’s note: Archbishop Gomez was at the Vatican to attend a special day of reflection, “Friar Junipero Serra, Apostle of California, Witness of Holiness,” hosted by the Pontifical Commission for the Latin American and Pontifical North American College of Rome on May 2. Pope Francis celebrated the Mass. The archbishop is praying for the intentions of everyone in the archdiocese. He has asked that this week we run this column, originally published in the Tidings/Angelus News, May 10, 2011. On May 26, Archbishop Gomez marks the fifth anniversary of his arrival to Los Angeles and this is his fourth year as archbishop. He has entrusted his ministry to Mary, Our Blessed Mother.

Ellos no tienen una apariencia asustadora que llevaría a cualquiera a querer evitarlos. Por el contrario, viven con sus familias y en nuestros vecindarios. Uno de los medios más importantes para garantizar que nuestros niños estén seguros es conocer las señales de alarma de aquellos adultos que son un riesgo y pueden lastimar a los niños. Algunas de esas señales pueden ser: 1. Siempre quiere estar a solas con los niños. 2. Permite a los niños hacer cosas que sus papás no aprobarían. 3. Se siente más a gusto con niños que con adultos. 4. Impide a otros que participen en actividades con niños.
