Catholic means ‘universal’ Written by Archbishop Jose H. Gomez
January 11, 2013 These first days of this New Year give me hope that 2013 will be the time when our leaders finally come together to enact a just reform of our immigration policies. This is the end of “National Migration Week” (Jan. 6-12). And this year, my brother bishops and I in the United States are stressing the urgent need for comprehensive reforms that would end deportation policies that break up families and that would offer illegal immigrants a path to make restitution and become citizens. It is long past time for our nation to address this issue. So I urge you to become involved in the debates in these coming weeks. As the largest and most racially and ethnically diverse local Church in the country, our Church here in Los Angeles has an important role to play in this national conversation. Because our Church in Los Angeles is an “icon.” It is a sign of God’s plan for his Kingdom and his Church — which is to be one family of God that joins families of many colors, races, nationalities and languages. But our local Church is also a sign of the promise of America — which is meant to be one nation under God and a light of freedom, hope and welcome for peoples of all nations. That is why one of my five pastoral priorities for the years ahead is to promote our sense of unity as one family of God. I really believe that in God’s Providence, we are meant to be an example to our nation, and also a model of the Church’s universal nature and mission. The word “catholic,” as we know, means “universal” or literally, “embracing the whole universe.” As we have heard throughout this Christmas season, Jesus came as a “Son of David.” That is, he came as a child of the Jewish people. But at the same time, he came as the “Son of Man,” as a child of all humanity. His coming this way is a sign of his Church and his Kingdom. And it is a sign for our own identity as Catholics. We are all children of some people or another. We are Filipinos or Salvadorans or Mexicans or Irish. But no matter where we come from, in Jesus Christ we are made children of God and brothers and sisters as one family in his Catholic Church. Jesus gave to his Church the mission to proclaim this good news to everyone and to make this beautiful vision of God a reality in our world — beginning in every human heart. That’s still the mission of our Church and that’s still a call to conversion for each one of us. That’s the challenge of the new evangelization in a world that has become “globalized.” But before anything else, this Gospel is a challenge to our conscience. We are called to break down every barrier, whether it comes from our pride or racism or fear, that keeps us from loving one another as brothers and sisters. In a practical way, for us that means we can’t stay “stuck” in our own communities. We can’t look at ourselves as “Filipino Catholics” or “Hispanic Catholics” or Catholics from this or that neighborhood community. Our ethnic and cultural identities are important to who we are and who God wants us to be.
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 20, 2013
But our identity in faith calls us to be much more than what we are by blood. We need to remember always that line from the start of St. John’s Gospel: “To all who … believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God – who were born, not of blood … but of God.” To be Catholic means understanding ourselves as sons and daughters — not only of our earthly parents, but of God. Our Catholic faith requires us to reach out beyond our boundaries. Beyond our own backgrounds and our own customary ways of doing things. That’s what makes our Catholic Church so beautiful. We all have so much to share with our brothers and sisters and so much we can learn from them. We need to make this process of sharing and learning a priority and a habit in our parishes and in our Archdiocesan ministries. Simple gestures can go a long way. Let’s look for ways to pray and worship with Catholics of different backgrounds and neighborhoods. Let’s learn about one another’s saints and cus-toms. So let’s pray for one another and for our country this week. Let’s ask for the grace to get to know people better and to love them as brothers and sisters. And let us ask our Mother Mary to help us to realize that the love we are called to as Catholics is a love that has no borders.
DAY OF REFLECTION FOR LITURGICAL SERVERS There will be a day of reflection on the Year of Faith for those serving in the liturgical ministries on Saturday, Feb. 2nd at 9:00 AM in the St. Faustina CCD Building.

20 de Enero del 2013 Segundo Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario
Católico significa “universal” Escrito por Monseñor Jose H. Gomez
Enero 11, 2013 Estos primeros días del nuevo año me llenan de esperanza de que 2013 sea el momento cuando nuestros líderes finalmente se unan para aprobar una reforma justa de nuestras políticas de inmigración. Este es el fin de la “Semana Nacional de Migración” (Enero 6-12). Y este año, mis hermanos obispos y yo, en los Estados Unidos, estamos enfatizando la urgente necesidad de reformas integrales que pondrían fin a las políticas de deportación que separan a las familias y que ofrecería a los inmigrantes indocu-mentados un camino para hacer restitución y convertirse en ciudadanos. Ya ha pasado mucho tiempo para que nuestra nación enfrente este asunto. Por eso les invito a todos a que se involucren en los debates de estas próximas semanas. Como la iglesia local más grande y de mayor diversidad étnica y racial en el país, nuestra Iglesia de Los Ángeles tiene un im-portante lugar que ocupar en este debate nacional. Esto porque la Iglesia en Los Ángeles es un “ícono”, un signo del plan de Dios para su Reino y su Iglesia –lo cual consiste en ser una sola familia de Dios que une a familias de muchos co-lores, razas, nacionalidades e idiomas. Pero nuestra Iglesia local también es un signo de la promesa de los Estados Unidos: que está destinado a ser una nación bajo Dios y una luz de libertad, esperanza y bienvenida para gentes de todas las naciones. Por eso, una de mis cinco prioridades pastorales para los próxi-mos años es promover nuestro sentido de unidad como una familia de Dios. Yo creo firmemente que, en la providencia de Dios, estamos llamados a ser un ejemplo para nuestra nación, y también un modelo de la naturaleza y misión universal de la Iglesia. La palabra “católico” como sabemos, significa “universal” o literalmente “que abraza a todo el universo”. Como hemos escuchado durante este tiempo de Navidad, Jesús vino como “Hijo de David”. Es decir, vino como un hijo del pueblo judío. Pero al mismo tiempo, vino como “Hijo del Hombre”, como un niño de toda la humanidad. Su venida de esta manera es un signo de su Iglesia y su Reino. Y es un signo para nuestra identidad como católicos. Todos somos hijos de un pueblo u otro. Somos filipinos o salvadore-ños, mexicanos o irlandeses. Pero no importa de dónde veni-mos, pues en Jesucristo somos hechos hijos de Dios y herma-nos y hermanas como una sola familia en la Iglesia Católica. Jesús dio a su Iglesia la misión de proclamar esta buena noticia a todo el mundo y de hacer de esta hermosa visión de Dios, una realidad en nuestro mundo, comenzando en cada corazón hu-mano. Esa sigue siendo la misión de nuestra Iglesia y sigue siendo un llamado a la conversión para cada uno de nosotros. Este es el desafío de la nueva evangelización en un mundo que se ha vuelto “globalizado”. Pero antes que nada, este Evangelio es un desafío a nuestra conciencia. Estamos llamados a romper todas las barreras, ya sea que pro-vengan de nuestro orgullo, racismo, o miedo, que nos impiden amarnos unos a otros como hermanos y hermanas.
De manera práctica, eso quiere decir que no podemos estar “atrapados” en nuestras propias comunidades. No podemos mirarnos a nosotros mismos como “católicos filipinos” o como “católicos hispanos” o católicos de este o de aquel vecindario o comunidad. Nuestras identidades étnicas y culturales son im-portantes para quienes somos y quien quiere Dios que seamos. Pero nuestra identidad en la fe nos llama a ser mucho más de lo que somos por la sangre. Tenemos que recordar siempre aquella línea del principio del Evangelio de San Juan: “A todos los que creen en su nombre, les dio el poder de llegar a ser hijos de Dios. Ellos no nacieron de la sangre… sino que fueron engendrados por Dios”. Ser católico significa entendernos a nosotros mismos como hijos e hijas –no solamente de nuestros padres terrenales, sino de Dios. Nuestra fe católica requiere que vayamos más allá de nuestros límites, más allá de nuestros antecedentes y nuestras maneras habituales de hacer las cosas. Esto es lo que hace a nuestra Iglesia Católica tan hermosa. To-dos tenemos mucho que compartir con nuestros hermanos y hermanas, y mucho que podemos aprender de ellos. Tenemos que hacer de este proceso de compartir y aprender una prioridad y un hábito en nuestras parroquias y nuestros ministerios la Arquidiocesanos. Un gesto sencillo puede llegar lejos. Podemos buscar maneras de orar y celebrar con nuestros hermanos católicos de diferentes orígenes y vecindarios. Pode-mos aprender de los santos y costumbres de los demás. Oremos los unos por los otros, así como por nuestro país esta semana. Pidamos la gracia de conocer mejor a los demás y de amarlos como hermanos y hermanas. Y pidamos a nuestra Madre María que nos ayude a comprender que el amor al cual somos llamados como católicos es un amor que no tiene fronteras.
Para Todos los Ministerios El Padre Larry esta pidiendo que todos los Ministerios de Li-turgia; Coros, Ministros de Eucaristía, Ujieres y Lectores, par-ticipen en un día de Reflexión.
