Fourth Sunday of Lent March 26, 2017
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
— Psalm 23:1
Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two
Daily Prayer For Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests; For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests; For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: The priest who baptized me; The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me; All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially_________). O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity. Amen By St. Therese of Lisieux
Our Mission St. Charles is a Christ focused, diverse, family centered, Catholic community serving Imperial Beach and the South Bay. We believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and His saving grace received through the Sacraments. We believe in the Holy Catholic Church instituted by Jesus, the sanctity of life, the value of family, and lifelong Catholic education for all ages. We live to deepen our love of God, spread His Gospel and bring others to Christ. We are committed to a life of prayer, sacrifice, and service to those in need. With love, humility, and joyful obedience, we strive to be transformed and guided by the Holy Spirit until we are transformed in the eternal life of Heaven.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The church slowly developed customs of reserving some portion of the eucharistic sacrifice for the sake of the dying. Today’s custom of placing this portion in a tabernacle for prayer and adoration by the faithful cannot be traced back much beyond the year 1,000, much to almost everyone’s surprise. There is simply no historical evidence of the Blessed Sacrament being present in a church for the purpose of having the faithful visit it or pray before it earlier in the church’s history. People did visit, of course, but the center of their attention was the altar, symbol of Christ’s sacrifice and the touchpoint between heaven and earth. Shrines and devotional altars abounded in medieval churches, but anything we might describe as a Blessed Sacrament chapel would be hard to
find. Amazingly, the Eucharist was first kept in private houses for the purpose of Holy Communion at home. As for church, the custom gradually developed of suspending a vessel shaped like a dove somewhere in the church, often over the altar. In the hovering bird, a few hosts, enough to satisfy the pastoral needs of the dying, would be secreted. The priest would lower the dove on a pulley as needed, but it wasn’t a focus of devotion by visitors to the church. It was simply a way of reassuring bishops who were nervous about safeguarding the Eucharist. The dove solution caught on in England and France after Crusaders came in contact with the custom in their travels in the Orthodox East. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Oración Diaria por los Sacerdotes O Jesús, Te ruego por tus fieles sacerdotes. Por tus ti-bios e infieles sacerdotes; Por tus sacerdotes que están con nosotros o en tierra de misiones. Por los sacerdotes que son tentados; Por los sacerdotes abandonados y en soledad; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes moribundos; Y por quienes sufren en el Purgatorio. Ante todo, pongo en tus manos a los sacerdotes que más quiero: El sacerdote que me bautizó; El sacerdote que me absuelve de mis pecados; Los sacerdotes que celebran la Misa a que asisto y me da en Comunión tu Cuerpo y Sangre; Los sacerdotes que me instruyen; Por quienes estoy en deuda, en espe-cial (por el Padre______). O Jesús, consérvalos siempre junto a tu corazón y bendícelos siempre hasta la eternidad. Amén. Sta. Therese de Lisieux

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana recordamos el nacimiento de uno de nuestros propios héro-es: César Estrada Chávez, quien nació en Arizona en 1927 y falleció en Los Ángeles, California en 1993. El racismo y la injusticia de su tiempo, obligaron a él y su familia a salir de su natal Arizona, pues sus padres perdieron sus tie-rras a causa de unos malhechores. En 1938 el destino lo llevó a Los Ángeles, al barrio “Sal, si puedes”. Con la ayuda de Dolores Huerta y otras personas, en 1962 fundó el mo-vimiento sindical de campesinos que daría a luz a United Farm Workers para protestar por las injusticias que nuestro pueblo sufría en los viñedos, situación que bien puede describirse como barbarie. Muchos se unieron a la “huelga” y al boicoteo de uvas bajo la bandera roja del águila azteca y el estandarte de Gua-
dalupe. De esta manera, con símbolos de nuestro origen indígena y religioso, César nos enseñó que “Sí se pue-de” salir adelante. En dos ocasiones, en 1972 y en 1988 respectivamente, debido a que algunos compañeros del movimiento quer-ían incurrir en la violencia para salir adelante, César hizo un ayuno de 24 y 36 días respectivamente. De esta mane-ra exhortó una vez más a todo el movimiento de que sólo mediante el trabajo, la fe y el sacrificio se pueden lograr las cosas. ¡Sí se puede! —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.
