RCIA Journey of Faith ALL ARE WELCOME...The program that we'll be using for RCIA this year is called Symbolon: The Catholic Faith Explained, by Dr. Edward Sri and the Augustine Institute. It is a highly-acclaimed video series with supportive materials that allow for the RCIA experience to be one similar to that of a small faith sharing group. It is for that reason that I am extending the invitation to participate in the Symbolon study to our greater church community. In these video sessions, we'll walk through the entirety of the Catholic Faith with clear and comprehensive explanations of the core teachings of the Church, Scripture, history, the sacraments, and living out the life of faith.. all filmed on-location at some of the most beautiful and captivating treasures of our Church around the world. Join us on Monday evenings in the Parish Hall from 6:30-8pm as we fall madly in love with the beauty that is Catholicism. If you are interested in at-tending, please RSVP with Laura Shoulders: laurasjpc@gmail.com

Teen Small Group Meets on Friday evenings. We will go to mass at 5:30, then meet in Youth House after mass for snacks and Time with Jesus! We will pray/snack/talk until 7:30, but times are flexible.

JOURNEY HOME Through the SYMBOLON Experience If you have a friend or loved one who is away from the Church, we are happy to reach out to them on your behalf and invite them to participate in the Symbolon program we'll be holding on Monday evenings from 6:30-8pm. This program is a great vehicle to reconnect with the beauty of Catholicism and go deeper with Jesus.

“Abraham told the rich man, ‘My child, remember you received what was good dur-ing your lifetime while Lazarus likewise re-ceived what was bad.’” Jesus paints a depressing picture of Laza-rus, a poor man covered with sores laying at the door of a rich man who obviously ig-

nored the poor man just outside of his house. Both men die. From the netherworld [hell] the rich man sees Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham [where all Jews hope to be when they die]. The rich man had clearly ignored the Word that God gave Moses to reveal to the Israelites: to love our neighbor as our-selves. Lazarus, laying outside the rich man’s house was clearly his neighbor. He was obviously in need of love and care. But the rich man ignored him. He did not love Lazarus as he loved himself. He did not even love him enough to provide him with the basic necessities of life. Jesus uses this graphic story to teach us that our neighbors can be just outside our door or across the street. In our current age of instantaneous global communications, our neighbors are all over the world. And many of them are in the same condition as Lazarus. Will we love and help them before it is too late for us?

About a month ago, in my homily I spoke of a pilgrimage I hiked while living in Italy. After the Masses that weekend several people spoke to me about how they had wanted to do something similar in their life. Well, for some time now I have wanted to hike the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain. The Camino de Santiago simply means the way of St. James. It is an ancient pilgrimage route marking the trek into Compestella to visit the remains of St. James. Through the centuries, this pilgrimage route count-less conversions and miracles are attributed to this pilgrimage route. Most recently a movie called The Way starring Martin Sheen illustrates one person’s journey on this ancient pilgrim-age route. I have long wished to participate in this pilgrimage, and decided that I will be joining a good friend next year to walk this journey. With this being stated, in July of 2020 Father Gary Clark and I will be travelling on the Camino de Santiago. Last year, Father Gary walked 211 kilometers of the Camino Frances. We intend to walk the same trek again in July of next year. The plan will be to fly to Spain on Monday July 13th, 2020 and to return to the United States on Friday July 24th, 2020. At this time Father Gary and I, are extending this invitation to those who might be interested in such a pilgrimage. If you are looking for something to help you grow in your faith, I invite you to prayerfully consider joining us on this pilgrimage. At this time, we estimate that the cost of the trip will be about $2,000 per person. If you are interested in walking with us on the Camino email me at frwillsjpc@gmail.com or Fr. Gary Clark at gary.clark@pastoral.org. If you are interested but do not have two weeks of vacation do not let that stop you. Send us an email and we will give you some options that you can consider. We hope to hear from you soon. God bless you and Buen Camino!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Desde el siglo XVII, el 2 de octubre la Iglesia ha celebrado la conmemoración de los Santos Ángeles Custodios. Muchos de nosotros conocemos la imagen de un niñito y su hermanita caminando por un puente tembloroso y podrido. Sobre ellos está en vigilante una bella criatura halada, su ángel protector. Esta imagen de seres con alas es una que los cristianos toma-mos de los paganos romanos y griegos, ya que bíblicamente hablando la mayor parte de los ángeles no tienen alas. Últimamente los ángeles se han puesto de moda entre los no cristianos, pero no debemos dejarnos llevar por sus doctrinas new age . Muchos de ellos buscan poner a los ángeles a su propio servicio pidiéndoles dinero, su pareja y otras cosas. Los ángeles no existen para enriquecernos. Más bien hay que sa-ber que los ángeles están para glorificar y servir a Dios y cuidar a los humanos marginados. Jesús mismo nos dice que hay que cuidarnos de despreciar a los pequeños (gente pobre y oprimida) porque les aseguro que sus ángeles en el cielo están constantemente en presencia de mi Padre celestial (Mateo 18:10-11).

AMBIENTE SEGURO

CÓMO DIOS PRETENDE QUE VIVAMOS Las lecturas de hoy una vez más están dirigidas a los creyentes, comunidades de fe. Así como la lectura de la semana pasada. Amós nos conforta con una condena de aquellos cuyas vidas están enfocadas en el placer y la auto absorción. El Salmo contrasta ese enfoque con el del Señor: justicia para los oprimidos, alimentos para los hambrientos, libertad para los cau-tivos, vista para los ciegos, levantar a los agachados, amor al justo, proteger a los extranjeros, huérfanos y las viudas; y al ha-cerlo, frustrando el camino a los malvados. Timoteo nos insta a la búsqueda de la justicia, la devoción, la fe, el amor, la paciencia y la mansedumbre. Lucas cuenta la historia familiar de un hom-bre rico y un mendigo en su puerta, que lleva una vida muy difer-ente en este mundo y en el otro. Una vez más estamos recibi-endo indicaciones acerca de cómo Dios quiere que vivamos nuestras vidas. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
