(Continued on page 4)
Dear Parishioners,This weekend we remember those who have died serv-
ing in our country’s armed forces. We also hear from John's Gospel Jesus saying, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”
Hearing Jesus’s words, we are invited to ask ourselves: what truly reasonable Christian is opposed to peace, op-posed to the promise Jesus gives for having our hearts be neither troubled nor afraid? In fact, with extremely few exceptions, those who have served, are currently serving, or who have died for our country in military service did so without hesitation in the name of achieving peace.
Such peace, however, is never opposed to our debating and yes even passionately arguing and disagreeing with one another about the means to foster and achieve peace.
As the American Bishops wrote in their 1983 pastoral letter, The Challenge of Peace:
"The Christian has no choice but to defend peace, properly under-stood, against aggression. This is an inalienable obligation. It is the how of defending peace which offers moral options. We stress this principle again because we observe so much misunderstanding about both those who resist bearing arms and those who bear them. Great numbers from both traditions provide examples of exceptional cour-age, examples the world continues to need ... Catholic teaching sees these two distinct moral responses as having a complementary rela-tionship, in the sense that both seek to serve the common good. They differ in their perception of how the common good is to be defended most effectively, but both responses testify to the Christian conviction that peace must be pursued and rights defended within moral re-straints and in the context of defining other basic human values."
As the Bishops acknowledged, there will always be debates and disagreements, differing ways to go about achieving peace. We must look, however, to a deeper call. Our risen Lord’s gift of peace calls us to our own inner peace and to be instruments of peace, justice and rec-onciliation amidst the divisions throughout our Church, country and world.
Acknowledging, therefore, that we are a pilgrim people, we know, whether we like it or not, that we will always live in the tension of what is called in theology the “already, but not yet.” We “already” live in the grace of the reign of Christ’s peace, but that peace that the world cannot
Estimados Feligreses:Este fin de semana recordamos a todos los que han
muerto sirviendo a nuestro país en sus fuerzas armadas. También escucharemos durante este, en el Evangelio de Juan, a Jesús diciendo: “La paz les dejo, mi paz les doy. La doy no como la da el mundo. No dejen que sus corazones se turben o se asusten.”
Escuchando las palabras de Jesús, estamos invitados a preguntarnos: ¿Qué cristiano verdaderamente razonable está opuesto a la paz, opuesto a la promesa que Jesús hace de no tener corazones turbados ni asustados? De hecho, con muy pocas excepciones, los que han servido, están sirviendo, o han muerto por nuestro país en servicio mil-itar lo hicieron sin dudas en nombre de alcanzar la paz.
Esa paz, sin embargo, nunca se opone a lo debatido, sí, también apasionadamente discutido y al desacuerdo entre unos y otros sobre lo que significa promover y alcanzar la paz.
Tal como lo escribieron los obispos americanos en su carta pastoral de 1983, El Desafío de la Paz:
"El cristiano no tiene otra opción sino defender la paz, entendida apropiadamente, contra la agresión. Es una obligación inalienable. Es el cómo defender la paz lo que brinda opciones morales. Volve-mos a resaltar este principio porque observamos mucho malentendi-do tanto en los que se resisten a llevar las armas como en los que las llevan. Ambas tradiciones proveen numerosos ejemplos de valor excepcional, ejemplos que todavía se necesitan en el mundo… La enseñanza católica ve a estas dos respuestas morales teniendo una relación complementaria, en el sentido de que ambas buscan servir al bien común. Se diferencian en la percepción de cómo debe defenderse el bien común más efectivamente, pero ambas respuestas testifican la convicción cristiana que la paz debe buscarse y los derechos deben defenderse dentro de ciertas restricciones morales y en el contexto de
definir otros valores humanos básicos."
Tal como los obispos reconocen, siempre habrá de-bates y desacuerdos, diferentes formas de andar buscan-do la paz. Sin embargo, debemos mirar a un llamado más profundo. El don de la paz de nuestro Señor resucitado nos llama a nuestra propia paz interior y a ser instrumen-tos de paz, justicia y reconciliación en medio de las divi-siones dentro de nuestra Iglesia, país y el mundo.
Por consiguiente, reconociendo que somos un pueblo peregrino, sabemos, nos guste o no, que siempre vivire-

give is “not yet” fully realized. Without a doubt, our journey as pilgrims must always be poised towards that full revelation. We must therefore continue individually and communally to say YES to peace. Armed with this YES, we have indeed the best way to respectfully and reverently honor those heroic lives tragically lost and re-membered each year on Memorial Day.
In Christ’s Peace,Fr. Joe
mos en la tensión de lo que se llama en teología el “ya, pero todavía no.” “Ya” vivimos en la gracia del reino de la paz de Cristo, pero esa paz que el mundo no nos puede dar “todavía no” se ha alcanzado plenamente. Sin duda, nuestro peregrinar debe estar orientado hacia esa revelación plena. Por lo tanto, debemos continuar, indi-vidual y comunalmente, diciendo SÍ a la paz. Armados con este SÍ, ciertamente tenemos la mejor manera de honrar, con respeto y reverencia, a aquellas vidas hero-icas, trágicamente perdidas y recordadas cada año en el Día del Recuerdo.

Racial Justice CommitteeIn November 2018, the Catholic bishops of the United States released a Pastoral Letter Against Racism – their first in almost 40 years. Open Wide Our Hearts: The Endur-ing Call to Love speaks to our nation’s ongoing struggles with racial injustice. This powerful letter invites us to "face courageously the vice of racism...reach out generously to the victims of this evil, to assist the conversion needed in those who still harbor racism, and to begin to change policies and structures that allow racism to persist." We invite you to reflect on the following quote from the letter: "Love is at the heart of Christian life…You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Mt. 22:37-39). This command of love can never be simply ‘live and let others be.’ This command of love requires us to make room for others in our hearts. It means that we are indeed our brother’s keeper (see Gn 4:9)." Entire letter: usccb.org/racism.
