Reflexión Semanal
Permanecer firmes en la fe
Las lecturas y oraciones del día de hoy nos animan a perseverar en nuestra fe. En su epístola a Timoteo, San Pablo escribe: “Querido hermano: Permanece firme en lo que has aprendido y se te ha confiado, pues bien sabes de quién lo aprendiste”. San Pablo nos recuerda que debemos mantenernos firmes en nuestra fe en Cristo Jesús, a pesar de que el mundo nos desafía a cada instante porque somos personas imperfectas y lo reflejan nuestras interacciones con los demás. Las lecturas de hoy nos ofrecen ejemplos de momentos en los que la fe en Dios ha sido probada. El Evangelio nos ejemplifica a la viuda en su incansable esfuerzo por recibir una decisión justa de un juez corrupto. Ella permanece firme en su solicitud, por la fe de que Dios le dará la fuerza para perseverar, hasta que el juez deshonesto finalmente llega a un veredicto justo. En el segundo ejemplo, la lectura del Éxodo en el Antiguo Testamento nos recuerda que la verdadera fe requiere resistencia, lo cual Moisés ilustra cuando se dirige a Josué en la batalla contra los amalecitas, con la promesa de mantener la vara de Dios en su mano para asegurar su victoria. Como Moisés se tambaleaba del cansancio, Dios inspira Aarón y Jur a sostener los brazos de Moisés hasta que la batalla fue ganada. Estos dos ejemplos hablan de la necesidad de mantener la fe en Dios; la voluntad de esperar y confiar en que
Dios se revelará a sí mismo en la situación dada. El Salmo Responsorial refuerza esta confianza cuando proclamamos: “El Señor te guarda a su sombra, está a tu derecha, de día el sol no te hará daño, ni la luna de noche”. Estas palabras nos motivan a vivir nuestra fe mediante el cumplimiento de la petición de San Pablo a Timoteo de que “anuncie la palabra; insiste a tiempo y destiempo, convence, reprende y exhorta con toda paciencia y sabiduría”.
Weekly Reflection
Remaining steadfast in faith
Today’s readings and prayers encourage us to perse-vere in our faith. In his epistle, Saint Paul writes, “Beloved: Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it.” Saint Paul reminds us to hold steadfast to our belief in Christ Jesus even though the world challenges us on many occasions. We are an imperfect people and our interactions with one another reflect this. Today’s read-ings provide examples of times where faith in God has been tested. The Gospel gives the example of the wid-ow who is tireless in her efforts to receive a just decision from the corrupt judge. She is unwavering in her re-quest, believing that God will give her the strength to persevere, until the dishonest judge finally renders the just verdict. In the second example, the Old Testament reading from Exodus reminds us that true faith requires endurance which Moses illustrates when he directs Joshua into battle against the Amalikites, promising to hold the staff of God in his hands to ensure their victory. As Moses falters from fatigue, God inspires Aaron and Hur to support his hands until the battle has been won. Both these examples speak to the need to sustain a be-lief in God, a willingness to wait and trust that God will reveal himself in the given situation. The Responsorial Psalm reinforces this trust as we proclaim, “The Lord is your guardian; the Lord is your shade; he is beside you at your right hand.” These words galvanize us to live our faith by fulfilling Saint Paul’s directive, “Proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encour-age through all patience and teaching.”

Supporting Our Pilgrims
The last few weeks this space in our parish bulletin has been all about the two dozen members of our parish on pilgrimage to the Marian Shrines of France. A pilgrimage is first and foremost a journey, but more importantly it is a journey centered on prayer. This type of prayer engages the whole being of the person involved – body, mind, heart and soul. And a pilgrimage is not just about those directly involved, it’s about all of the lives connected to each pil-grim. What a perfect connection to some of the most basic truths in life. First, our lives are a journey that is as much about the journey itself, as it is the destination. It’s a journey that must involve every aspect of ourselves – body, mind, heart and soul – in balance. How we journey is as important as to where we journey, lest we arrive at our destination with-out our whole self. Second, to guarantee balance we must be constant in our prayer, remembering that prayer isn’t simply making time to offer words to God, but more importantly making time to allow for a sharing of life. This sharing of life means first listening and being aware of all the ways God wants to share God’s life with us, and then being willing to share our true self with God – being completely honest and holding nothing back. Finally, our journey of life (just like a pilgrimage) is not about ourselves. Everything we do we should do with a conscious knowledge of all the lives that are connected to our life. It’s why, when we pray as Jesus taught us, it’s not “me” centered, it’s always “we” centered: Our Father , give us , forgive us as we forgive others, lead us , deliv-er us. As our brothers and sisters are faithfully bringing our pray-ers with them, offering them to our Merciful Father through the intercession of our Blessed Mother, may we just as faithfully keep them in our daily prayers – trusting that God honors our persistence in prayer. Don’t forget to follow our parish pilgrimage on the OLA Fa-cebook page, or the parish website!

La Proposición 62
En esta temporada electoral los Obispos del estado de California han decidido darle prioridad a la Proposición 62. Un voto a favor de la proposición 62 acabaría con la pena de muerte en el estado de California y la remplazaría con una sentencia de cadena perpetua sin la posibilidad de salir bajo libertad condicional. El Papa Francisco al igual que sus predecesores el Papa San Juan Pablo II y el Papa Benedicto XVI han acertado que nuestra sociedad no necesita la pena de muerte. Ya es tiempo que nuestro estado se una al creciente número de estados que han abolido la pena de muerte. Les pedimos sus oraciones y su colaboración en el esfuerzo que se hace por darle fin con la pena de muerte en el estado de California.

Proposition 62
This election season, the CA bishops have chosen Proposition 62 as their top priority. A yes vote for Prop 62 will abolish the death
penalty in California and in its place give a sentence of life without the possibility of parole.

Now is the time for our state to join the growing number of states who have abolished capital punishment. We ask you to prayerfully consider joining the efforts to end the death penalty.

Guarde la fecha – Imagen Peregrina de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en
OLA – Nov. 7, 2016
La imagen peregrina de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe visitará varias parroquias,
incluyendo OLA, en las cinco regiones de la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. La Peregrina, es una reproducción exacta de la imagen original de la Basílica de la Ciudad de México. Fue bendecida por San Juan Pablo II y ha tocado la imagen original. Este año marca el décimo aniversario de este regalo, traído a la Archidiócesis personalmente por el Monseñor Diego Monroy, rector de la Basílica en ese tiempo. Habrá más información en las siguientes semanas al prepararnos para recibir la imagen como símbolo de unidad, paz, compasión y esperanza.

Save the date – Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe coming to OLA – Nov. 7, 2016
La Peregrina, a pilgrim image of Our Lady of Guadalupe will visit parishes, including OLA, in the five regions of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. La Peregrina, is an exact digital reproduction of the original image in Mexico City’s Basilica, which has been blessed by St. John Paul II and touched to the original image. This year marks the 10th anniversary when the gift was hand-delivered to the Archdiocese by Monsignor Diego Monroy, then Rector of the Basilica. There will be more information in the coming weeks as we prepare to receive her image as a symbol of unity, peace, compas-sion, and hope.
