“Pastor’s Weekend Message”

“My children, I will be with you only a little while

longer. I give you a new commandment: love one another.

as I have loved you.” (Jun 13:34)

Love is the focus of today’s readings. Jesus called us to

love to the fullness. We know that at times it is very diffi-

cult to love all things happening in today’s world, but no

matter what, we must face the call to love with a sacrifi-

cial heart like how the Lord teaches us. Love brings life,

unity, peace and hope. Never to forget that love teaches

us to embrace suffering with confidence. In a way, we are

all in need of love: we ought to love personally and others

as well are called to love us. All in all, this action and

decision creates a mutual respect and self giving for the

sake of love. God’s love is unconditional and yet our

love, although finite, ought to be unconditional, life-

giving and unselfish. To love with joy is the message of

the Gospel of Mercy. Loving the suffering, improvised,

marginalized, threatened, unwanted, rejected, vulnerable

and destitute is true Christian love. Listen today to God’s

example of love. Jesus is the loving answer that we need

in today’s uncharitable climate. We need His Presence to

bring about peace, justice, joy and love. Love then is not

just a “word” it is a “personal action.” Have a blessed

Sunday. Pray with me for all of those who will receive

the sacrament of Confirmation this Sunday.

Peace and blessings in the Lord,

Father Juan Serna S.T.L., Holy Family Pastor

“Mensaje Pastoral del Parroco”

“Hijitos, todavía estaré un poco con ustedes.

Les doy un mandamiento nuevo: que se amen unos a

los otros, como yo los he amado.” Jn 13:34

El amor es el enfoque de las lecturas de hoy. Jesús nos

llama ha amar hasta el extremo. Ya sabemos que es difícil

amar todas las cosas que suceden en nuestro mundo de

hoy, pero aun así nos encontramos con el llamado ha amar

con un corazón lleno de sacrificios personales como lo hi-

zo el Señor Jesús. El amor da vida, paz y esperanza. De

un forma u otro, todos estamos necesitados del amor: de-

bemos amar personalmente y los demás también son lla-

mados ha amarnos. De todo y en todo, esta acción crea un

respeto mutuo y un auto donación por el motivo del amor.

Mano a mano el sufrimiento va con el amor. El amor de

Dios es incondicional y nuestro amor, aunque finito, tiene

también que ser incondicional, dador de vida, e sin egoísta.

El amar el sufrimiento, empobrecimiento, marginación, el

amenazado, el rechazado, el vulnerable y destituido es ver-

dadero amor Cristiano. El gozo del amor se refleja en la

misericordia de este año. Escucha el ejemplo del amor de

Dios hoy. Jesús es la respuesta amorosa que necesitamos

en todo clima anticaricativo de hoy. Necesitamos su Pre-

sencia para traer paz, justicia, gozo y amor. Así pues el

“Amor” no solo es una palabra es un “acción personal”.

Que tengan un feliz domingo. Bendiciones en el Señor.

Padre Juan Serna, Párroco de La Sagrada Familia

ENCOURAGE (NEW SUPPORT GROUP

EnCourage is a Roman Catholic apostolate for parents,

friends and family members of loved ones with same-sex

attractions. It is a faithful witness to Catholic teaching on

sexual morality which meets the needs of its members with charity and compassion. It does not embrace the

necessity of changing a loved one’s sexual attraction to

seek support from our ministry. It helps members to focus

on their own spiritual development with the goals of

achieving peace and complete trust in God’s Providence

and His Love for us and the ones we love. EnCourage offers a supportive, confidential environment to share

feelings, experiences, information and guidance for main-

taining healthy relationships with our loved ones with

same-sex attractions. It provides members with an under-

standing of their needs and assists members to reach out

to their loved ones with true compassion. Be welcomed by a group of committed Catholics who understand your

sufferings and who will walk and pray with you on this

journey. To confidentially inquire about meetings,

please call (209) 425-1679.

Learn to Play for FREE! The Friday Night Guitarristas are offering FREE guitar lessons to anyone who is interested. All you need is a guitar! Call Sandy Gallardo (543-3740) for more information.
