At Our Parish
CHANGE “To live is to change. To be perfect is to have changed often.” (Henry Cardinal Newman.)
One of our reasons for coming to church is our desire to change, to grow as sons and daughters of God and to be more like Jesus. The sons in the gospel today are not ideal sons. Jesus is the ideal son who loves us and serves us. As St. Paul reminds us “He emptied (humbled) himself to become our servant.” (Mary is the ideal human being. She lived her words of faith “Let it be done to me according to your word.”). We come for more than comfort food. We come for deep change in our lives—a change of heart and not just a change of mind. Today’s parable is addressed (first) to the Chief Priests and Elders ie., the leaders of the Temple and Sanhedrin. They have been entrusted with the guidance of God’s people and in Jesus’ view are not being faithful leaders because they are collaborating with Roman rule. However, the parable is also addressed to us as followers of Christ. The change for us is to continue to say yes to Jesus’ invitation and to be His faithful followers, i.e., to love and serve as Jesus does. We are to be a servant church: called to work in the vineyard of the Lord. Our doing has to conform to our words. The hurricanes, earthquakes and attendant devastation also call us to this servant hood. We cannot (all) go to these places of destruction. However, Catholic Charities America and Catholic Relief Services are offering help and can use our continuing support. Our change of heart calls for sacrifice on our part. Please join me in supporting these charities where we know that the funds raised go directly to people in need. God Bless, Father Delahunty

GOD’S WAYS In the stream of readings during this portion of Ordinary Time one week’s texts can often appear to pick up exactly where the previous week’s concluded. The sentiments expressed in today’s first reading seem to be a direct reaction to the Gospel passage we heard last week. In that Gospel, the landowner pays the same wages to his workers whether they worked for a full day or for only a few minutes. Today Ezekiel gives us the lament, “The LORD’s way is not fair!”(Ezekiel 18:25). These Sundays in Ordinary Time offer us a glimpse into the ways of the Lord. We see how God’s way has the tendency to turn the accepted conventions of the day upside down. Those who always expected that their way to heaven was guaranteed are disappointed. Those who thought they never had a chance are given that chance. Today offers us another opportunity to discover the abundance of God’s mercy and love.

Quinceañeras
Vamos a empezar a tener Quinceañeras de nuevo en nuestra parroquia, pero só-lo durante la misa de 1:30 los domin-gos. Sólo sería la bendición durante la misa con los padres y padrinos.
Si desea programar una Quinceañera póngase en contacto con Gina al (949)494-9701 o por correo electrónico a [email protected].
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La práctica de usar nudos en una cuerda para contar oraciones tiene una larga trayectoria en la fe cristia-na. Originalmente un cordón con 150 nudos o piedritas se usaba para contar la recitación de los 150 salmos encontrados en la Sagrada Escritura. Con el tiempo, visto que mucha gente no podía leer o recitar de memo-ria los salmos, se sustituyeron por el uso de 150 Padrenuestros. A finales de la Edad Media muchos sustitu-yeron los Padrenuestros con el saludo del ángel Gabriel a María. En el siglo XVI se formuló lo que hoy re-conocemos como el Avemaría, y en el año 1569, el Papa Pío V estableció el Rosario en su forma y uso ac-tual. En 1592 un fraile dominico mandó hacer una imagen de la Virgen del Rosario para su convento en Gua-temala. Según la leyenda, María viajaba por América con su Hijito y éste se quedó dormido en Guatemala, por lo cual se quedaron allí. En 1821 los independistas guatemaltecos tomaron a la Virgen del Rosario como protectora y en 1833 fue nombrada patrona oficial de Guatemala.
EL PROCEDER DE DIOS En la corriente de lecturas durante esta porción del Tiem-po Ordinario a menudo parece que los textos de una semana se retoman donde concluyeron los de la semana anterior. Los sentimientos expresados en la primera lectura de hoy parecen ser reacción directa ante el pasaje del Evangelio que escucha-mos la semana pasada. En ese Evangelio, el dueño de la viña paga el mismo salario a sus trabajadores, sea que hayan traba-jado todo el día o sólo en los últimos minutos de la jornada. Hoy Ezequiel ofrece este lamento, “No es justo el proceder del Señor” (Ezequiel 18:25). Estos domingos del Tiempo Or-dinario nos ofrecen una ojeada del proceder del Señor. Ve-mos cómo ese proceder tiene la tendencia de poner patas arri-ba las convenciones aceptadas. Los que siempre esperaron que su camino al cielo estaba garantizado quedaron desilusio-nados. A los que pensaron que nunca tendrían la oportunidad, se les da la oportunidad. Hoy se nos ofrece la oportunidad de descubrir la abundancia de la misericordia y el amor de Dios.
