Saint John the Evangelist

“Once you have learned to love you will have learned to live!” ... The Scouting movement in America was founded on February 8, 1910. To mark the 106th Anniversary of the great movement we welcome our Saint John Scouts as they join us this Sunday (7) at the 10:30am Mass. ... Our Annual Catholic Appeal lends support to the many and varied ministries of our Diocese. It assists with our extensive education ministries in our parishes, supports our Diocesan seminary, the much needed continuing education of our priests, and the multi faceted work of Catholic Charities and it’s many outreaches. ... Our Annual Catholic Appeal has also established a special fund to assist needy parishes in the Diocese, particularly in the Imperial Valley. ... Please be sure to pick-up our Annual Catholic Appeal brochure in which Bishop McElroy reminds us that to “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful” applies not only in our parish, but in our Diocese and beyond, and he shares some of the great things we make possible. ... Saint John is expected to raise $73,000 in support of our Diocesan ministry and parishes in need in Imperial Valley. You don’t have to give anything today, just make a pledge! Thank you! ... Pledge forms are available in bulletin this weekend (7). Please consider what would be a meaningful pledge for you and your family in support of the great work of the Diocese, and then strive to meet it over the next ten months. ... This Thursday (11) is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, when Our Lady appeared to Bernadette in 1858, proclaiming herself “I am the Immaculate Conception”! Lourdes has become a great place of pilgrimage and healing. Hence, this day is also designated ‘World Day of the Sick’! ... Lent begins this Wednesday (10), Ash Wednesday, and continues until the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, March 24. ... Our Ash Wednesday (10) Masses are at 8:00am, 10:30am, 6:00pm and 7:30pm (in Spanish). Our School children will participate in the 8:00am and 10:30am celebrations. “Remember, you are dust …” ... Ash Wednesday (10) is a day of universal fast (one meal and two snacks) and abstinence (no meat) ... for all over 14 and under 65, and healthy! Good Friday (March 25) is the only other day of fast and abstinence.

Our Holy Name Society is sponsoring a Fish-Fry Dinner each Friday from 5:00pm to 9:00pm in the Hall, with Fun Bingo from 7:00pm. Join us! ...

Please pick-up a brochure and consider how you might help! It is truly a wonderful and lasting investment in the Church of the future! ... Our annual school fun-fundraiser is coming up on Saturday, March 12: a ‘Mad Hatter’s Ball’ Dinner Auction at the Sheraton, Carlsbad. Sponsorship is welcome and would be appreciated. ... Contributions last weekend (31) amounted to $18,653.14, with 357 families using parish envelopes. A further $4,624.00 was contributed online, with 95 families participating! Thank you! ... Acknowledgement letters, for tax purposes, have been mailed to all who contributed $500 and above in support of our parish ministry in 2015. ‘Thank You’ for all you make possible. Be sure to let us know if we got it wrong! Did you get one? ... If you are in 4th Grade or higher and would like to be an Altar Server come along for training this Tuesday (9), 3:30pm - 4:30pm. Service! ... Our young adults (age 18 - 39) activities can be found at www.yamsd.org. ... Our Saint John School children will travel the ‘Stations of the Cross’ in church this Friday (12) at 2:00pm.

Saint John the Evangelist

¡SANTO, SANTO, SANTO! “¡Santo, Santo, Santo!”. Los idiomas antiguos, como el hebreo empleado en la Sagrada Escritura, no siempre tenían la manera de expresar superlativos en una sola palabra. Isaías no tenía una palabra similar a “santísimo”, así que usó la triple repetición de la misma palabra. Este detalle de minucia bíblica sobre estas “tres pequeñas palabras” que cantamos en Misa cada domingo sirve para recordarnos que responder al llamado de Dios tiene que basarse en estar consciente de la santidad de Dios. En Isaías y el pasaje del Evangelio de hoy, escuchamos relatos que revelan el poder y la fuerza de Dios: los serafines en el templo y la pesca milagrosa. Estas no son revelaciones maravillosas sin razón. Dan lugar a una respuesta misionera, la de “Aquí estoy, ¡envíame!” de Isaías y la de los discípulos que lo dejan todo para seguir a Jesús. De igual manera nuestro “¡Santo, Santo, Santo!” nos lleva a Cristo en la Eucaristía de cada domingo, y a una vida de seguirlo día tras día. MINISTROS EXTRAORDINARIOS DE LA COMUNION

El Domingo pasado, los siguientes Ministros fueron comisionados y enviados a servir al Señor: Soledad Cruz, Erika y José Mercado, Noel Meza, Carmen y Luis Mijangos, Angélica y Joel Olea, Horalia y Manuel Padrón, Martha y Cirenio Pérez, Victoria y Romaldo Pizarro, Teresa y Juan Pliego, Juliana y Juan Ramírez. Le damos las gracias a Dios por ellos y le pedimos que los ayude y los bendiga en u Ministerio

EL MIÉRCOLES DE CENIZA Es el miércoles, 10 de febrero Habrá Misa en Español a las 7:30 pm. Cuando era niño mi padre me llevaba al rancho de mi abuelito en México. En una de esas visitas mi abuelo y mis tíos estaban quemando la tierra en su rancho. Mientras el fuego ardía, mi papá Manuel nos explicaba que era necesario reducir todo en cenizas para que la tierra recobrara sus fuerzas y quedará más fértil. Sin saberlo, mi abuelo me dio la imagen que hasta hoy sostiene mi concepto del Miércoles de Cenizas y de la cuaresma. El Miércoles de Cenizas es la fiesta cristiana que por lo menos doce siglos ha señalado el comienzo de la Cuaresma. No cabe duda que para los latinos este día es de particular atracción. Es uno de los pocos días del año litúrgico en cual llegamos al templo en masa por tal de recibir las cenizas en la frente. Nosotros somos un pueblo enraizado en la tierra y sabemos que la tierra necesita quemarse de vez en cuando para seguir produciendo. Nosotros como la tierra necesitamos dominarnos y cultivarnos para producir frutos y flores para el Señor y los demás.

JUNTA PARA TODOS LOS PROCLAMADORES DE LA PALABRA Tendremos una junta para todos los Proclamadores de la Palabra el miércoles, 17 de febrero. Por favor vengan todos a las 7:00 pm. al California Room. También les pido que traigan sus calendarios, pues hablaremos sobre la cuaresma y sobre los días especiales en los que participaran. Si tienen preguntas por favor llamen a Mary Moran al 760 436-4366. DONDE ESTÁ DIOS No hay lugar donde vayamos donde Dios no esté. Y donde está Dios, todo está bien.

¡Felicidades! Jennifer Pérez al cumplir 15 años de vida y también a su mamá y padrinos.

SER PROBADOS COMO EL ORO Dios quiere probarte como al oro en el crisol. El fuego va consumiendo la escoria, pero el oro bueno permanece y aumenta su valor.
