A Note from the Administrator...

Dear friends,

I don’t go to confession often --- just a few times a year. But I know it’s made a difference in my self-awareness, honesty and dependence on God. The way I go to confession has changed dramatically. At first I was much too concerned about stating individual actions and omissions, how many times, etc. --- as if God were interested in lists and ledgers and us being somehow “squeaky-clean.” Now when I go to the priest, I tell him what I see when I look at myself --- gluttony, pride, lust, too wrapped up in myself, childish when I feel criticized or threatened. It’s so important now and then to take a good look at yourself --- and then say to another believer what you see. My vices haven’t disappeared just because I confessed them. God forgives us --- that’s 100% certain --- and I imagine God forgives us whether we run to confession or not. But somehow, the saying of our sinfulness out loud diminishes the power that our vices have in our lives. If you haven’t been to confession for a while, you might consider that for this Advent. You can see in the bulletin all the local parishes that are having Penance Services between now and Christmas. And our own parish is having its service on December 21 (Monday) at 7 PM

Peace, All Good! Fr. Mike

PS For a number of years the family of Joe Gonzales, as well as others from this parish and area, has been ardent supporters of TIJUANA OUTREACH. Next week at Masses we'll show a brief video of this ministry ... and also give parishioners a chance to give financial support. What a wonderful work this is!

Estimados Amigos,

Yo no voy a confesarme con frecuencia sólo unas pocas veces al año. Pero sé que ha hecho una diferencia en mi conciencia de mí mismo, la honestidad y la dependencia de Dios. La forma en que voy a confección ha cambiado drásti-camente. Al principio estaba demasiado preocupado por lo que iba indicar como las acciones individuales y omisiones, cuántas veces, etc. --- como si Dios estuvie-ra interesado en las listas y los libros de contabilidad y nosotros siendo de alguna manera " absolutamente lim-pios." Ahora, cuando me presento con el sacerdote, le digo lo que veo cuando me miro. La gula, el orgullo, la lujuria, también envuelto en mí mismo, aniñado cuando me siento criticado o amenazado. Es muy importante en vez en cuando tomar una buen mirada a ti mismo y lue-go compartir con otro creyente lo que ves. Mis vicios no han desaparecido sólo porque yo las con-fesé. Dios nos perdona, eso es 100% seguro y me ima-gino que Dios nos perdona si nos confesamos o no. Pero de alguna manera, el dicho de nuestros pecados en voz alta disminuye el poder que nuestros vicios tienen en nuestras vidas. Si usted no ha venido a confesión por un tiempo; lo podría considerar este Adviento. Usted puede ver en el boletín de todas las parroquias locales que están tenien-do Servicios de Penitencia desde hoy hasta la Navidad. Y nuestra parroquia tendrá su servicio el lunes, 21 de diciembre a las 7 PM Paz y bien, Padre Mike

P.D. Desde hace varios años la familia de Joe Gonzales, así como otros de esta parro-quia y del área, han sido partidarios ardientes de TIJUANA ALCANCE. La próxima sema-na durante las misas voy a mostrar un video de este ministerio y también darle nuestros feligreses la oportunidad de dar apoyo finan-ciero. ¡Qué servicio maravilloso es esto!

Respect Life Ministry

Pain and suffering do not undermine our dignity. Abandoning the suffering brother or sister to death does. True compassion means accompanying another person in his suffering, alleviating that suffering with respect for the person’s dignity, and never abandoning him or her.

Food for the Poor wishes to thank you for the welcome you extended to Father Lopez on our recent visit to your parish.
