Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Abba
Abba
Today’s readings and prayers direct us to the love of
our heavenly Father. Saint Paul’s letter to the Galatians
reminds us that “through faith [we] are all children of
God in Christ Jesus.” We, “who were baptized into
Christ, have clothed [ourselves] with Christ.” This
recognition of God as our Father, our Abba, encourages
us to draw closer to him. The Responsorial Psalm enumerates the longing we have to rest in his presence.
The psalmist describes how “[his] soul thirsts like the
earth, parched, lifeless and without water.” We realize
that we experience this same longing. Yet, the Father
makes our journey to him possible through Jesus’ sacrifice which is referenced in the Old Testament reading
from Zechariah. The Father had promised that on the
day of Jesus’ death that he would “open a fountain to
purify [us] from sin.” This gift of salvation, Jesus’ sacrifice, removes any hesitancy in approaching the Father.
He beckons to us as “[we] lift up our hands and call upon his name.” When we cry “Abba,” he answers us,
never depriving us of [his] loving mercy. This action is
familiar to us because we see it in the love our earthly
fathers shower upon us. They
are blessed in their roles as
fathers with the graces needed
to cherish, support, and sustain
their families. Today as we
celebrate Father’s Day, we offer prayers of thanksgiving for
our loving fathers. We ask our
heavenly Father to continue to
shower our fathers with abundant graces as they selflessly
work to provide for their families. Acknowledging the confidence we experience because
of this paternal love, we proclaim, Lord, “you are [our] help,
and in the shadow of your
wings
[we]
shout
for
joy” (Responsorial Psalm).
Las lecturas y oraciones de hoy nos dirigen hacia el
amor de nuestro Padre celestial. La carta del apóstol
San Pablo a los Gálatas nos recuerda que "a través de
la fe todos [somos] hijos de Dios en Cristo Jesús. Nosotros, “que [hemos] sido incorporados a Cristo por medio
del bautismo, [nos hemos] revestido de Cristo". Este
reconocimiento de Dios como nuestro Padre, nuestro
Abba, nos anima a acercarnos a él. En el Salmo Responsorial, el salmista recuenta el anhelo que tenemos
por descansar en presencia de Dios, "de ti está sedienta
mi alma, Señor, todo mi ser te añora como el suelo reseco añora el agua". Con la lectura del libro de Zacarías, en el Antiguo Testamento, nos damos cuenta de
que experimentamos este mismo anhelo y de que el
Padre hace posible que lleguemos a él a través del sacrificio de Jesús. El Padre había prometido que, en el
día de la muerte de Jesús, "brotaría una fuente, que
[nos] purificará de [nuestros] pecados e inmundicias".
Este regalo de salvación, el sacrificio de Jesús, elimina
cualquier duda para acercarnos al Padre, el cual nos
llama a "levantar [nuestras] manos en oración y alabar
su nombre con jubilosos labios". Cuando
clamamos "Abba", Dios nos responde y nunca nos depriva de su misericordioso amor.
Esta acción nos es familiar porque lo vemos
en el amor derramado sobre nosotros por
nuestros padres terrenales, quienes son
bendecidos en su papel de padres con las
gracias necesarias para valorar, apoyar y
sostener a sus familias. Hoy, al celebrar el
Día del Padre, oramos para dar gracias por
nuestros padres amorosos y pedimos a
nuestro Padre celestial que continúe derramando abundantes gracias sobre ellos,
quienes trabajan abnegadamente por el sustento de sus familias. Reconociendo la confianza que experimentamos en este amor
paternal, proclamamos al Señor, "eres
[nuestra] ayuda y en la sombra de tus alas
[gritamos] de alegría" (Salmo responsorial).

Religious Education
Parish News
Our Lady of the Assumption
School
Open to Serve Means Caring for
One Another
Our Lady of the Assumption School students, faculty and staff are enjoying summer
vacation.
Uniform Sale will be held on
Wednesday, August 3 from 3 - 6 PM in Mulcahy Center. The first day of school will be Thursday, August 18
for all grades. See everyone at Sunday mass and Friendship Sunday throughout the summer!
The purpose of a community of faith is to advance
the spiritual dimension of our human experience.by living
the Gospel of Jesus Christ to its fullest potential. The mission statement of Our Lady of the Assumption Church
states our belief that as a parish community of disciples
we follow Jesus Christ by our commitment to “create, nurture, and maintain a community of love through worship,
reconciliation, healing, formation, education and service”.
Throughout this Year of Mercy, it has been our intent to
put into action the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy
in many ways. For example, it is a great joy as a parish
to send ministers to the sick and homebound, knowing
that the gift of the Eucharist and the human touch of our
ministers makes an important connection with all they
meet. This is a vibrant and active community which is
made possible because so many desire to serve. Living
our Christian call to care for one another is a great commitment and a great joy. Therefore, we want and need
more people to use their gifts, given by the Spirit, to serve
the community. Recruiting, training, and sustaining all
our ministries demands great effort from all our pastoral
leaders.
The pastoral leaders in our parish need creative,
nurturing, and loving collaborators in order to sustain their
roles as a community of happy, healthy, and holy ministers. As parish priests, deacons, and lay ministers, we
are committed to this because we know that we can only
be effective if we are closely connected to the Lord, to
one another, and the people we serve. It is for this reason that Deacon Don Huntley has been asked to assume
a part-time position as a Pastoral Associate. In this role
as Pastoral Associate, he will participate in the pastoral
care of the parish community by his ministry as a deacon
and by supporting the work of the other members of the
parish pastoral team. As a PA, he will have opportunities
to visit the sick, provide pastoral counseling, and perform
other pastoral duties appropriate for a deacon. In addition, as a professional educator, he brings unique perspective to support the spiritual and religious formation of
our catechists, adult leaders, adult learners, our youth,
and children in our religious formation program and parish school. Deacon Don, with his wife Diana, will continue
to shepherd the community of those seeking the Sacraments through the Rites of Christian Initiation (RCIA) as
they done over the years.
It is my hope and desire to continue the great tradition of spiritual and pastoral outreach that Our Lady of the
Assumption Parish has sustained throughout the years.
As we continue to feel the effects of a declining number
of priests available to serve in our churches, it is more
important that we build up a well-trained and effective
community of deacons and lay pastoral ministers who will
continue to sustain and nurture the faith-life of our people,. We are so blessed by those who are generous with
their time, talents, and treasure to bring the Good News
of Jesus Christ to all we meet.
May the Lord’s blessings continue to encourage and
bless all our efforts to build up the Body of Christ at OLA.
We need your gift of service because what you offer important and needed by others.
Blessings and Peace to all,
Fr. Leon

Did you Know?
Protect kids from bullying while playing online
The pace of online gaming is only growing. There is a
small but real chance that victimization could occur when
kids play and interact with others on phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and gaming consoles. A helpful way to
teach children about handling problems is to encourage
them to report issues when they arise. Internet service
providers and gaming networks have systems set up to
field complaints of abuse and then investigate them (in
conjunction with law enforcement, when necessary). For
more tips on how to help protect young people from vulnerabilities while playing online please email [email protected] or call (213) 637-7227 to receive a copy
of the VIRTUS® article “Preventing Cyberbullying in
Online Gaming, Part 2.”

El Regalo de Cristo en Nuestra Comunidad
Es mi deseo traer el regalo de Cristo a nuestra
comunidad. Como lo hemos hecho en el pasado, este 17
de Septiembre celebraremos la Misa al Aire Libre aquí en
OLA. Sé que es una gran experiencia el unirnos en
oración como familia parroquial.
Otra experiencia
sencilla, pero muy conmovedora de sentirnos en familia
es con una Misa intima en los hogares de los
feligreses. Unir a la familia, a los amigos y a los vecinos
para compartir la Eucaristía y una comida sencilla es una
manera de disfrutar nuestra vida con el Señor. Este
verano, me gustaría empezar a celebrar misas en los
hogares. Sea una familia anfitriona e invite a sus
familiares, amigos y los que deseen que nos
acompañen. Nos reuniremos el sábado o el domingo por
la noche para celebrar la Misa, compartir la comida, e
invitar a Cristo Eucarístico a ser pare de nuestra jornada
de fe este verano. Llame o mande un correo electrónico
a la oficina parroquial para más detalles y para elegir una
fecha. Bendiciones y Paz. Padre Leon

Proteja a los niños del acoso o “bullying”
mientras juegan en Internet
El paso de los juegos en línea sigue aumentando. Existe
una pequeña, pero real oportunidad de que pueda ocurrir
la victimización cuando los niños juegan e interactúan
con otros en teléfonos, tabletas, laptops, computadoras
de mesa y consolas de juego. Una manera útil de
enseñar a los niños sobre cómo manejar problemas es
animarlos a reportar problemas cuando estos surjan. Los
proveedores de servicio de Internet y las redes de juegos
por Internet tienen sistemas establecidos para recibir
quejas de abuso y luego las investigan (en conjunto con
la policía, cuando es necesario). Para más consejos
sobre cómo ayudar a proteger a los niños y jóvenes de
las vulnerabilidades mientras juegan en línea, por favor
envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected] o llame al (213) 637-7508 para recibir
una copia del artículo de VIRTUS®, “Preventing
Cyberbullying in Online Gaming, Part 2” (Previniendo el
acoso cibernético en los juegos en línea, Parte 2).
