From the Pastor’s Laptop
People seek out the rich and the powerful
Fr. Mark Wagner
When someone wins
the lottery, or wins an
election or becomes a king,
suddenly that person
usually gets a lot of new
friends. A lot of people
who never came around before suddenly
want to hang out with that rich and
powerful person, hoping to get some
advantage for themselves. People seek
out the rich and the powerful. It is
advantageous to be friends with those
who can invite you to fancy dinners, and
can make you part of the fashionable
crowd who enjoy fine clothes, health,
wealth and freedom.
It is not
advantageous to be with those who are
hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, ill or in
prison.
Today we celebrate the great
Solemnity of Jesus Christ, the King of the
Universe. But ironically, if you want to be
near Him, He says you must first associate
with those who are hungry, thirsty,
foreigners, naked, ill or in prison. If we
seek to be with this king, we must seek
those who are least, because He says
“Whatever you do to the least of my
brothers, you do unto me.” (Cf. Mt. 25:31-
46) Therefore if you want to feast, you
must first find someone who is hungry. If
you want to drink well, go look for
someone who is parched. If you want to
be welcomed, search for an outsider. If
you admire the beautiful, fashionable,
healthy people, go first and look into the
face of someone who is unwashed and
unhealthy. If you prefer freedom and
privilege, you should visit someone in
jail. And He says you will be visiting HIM
there! That’s where you’ll find this
king. Our king will gladly usher you into
His royal court. He will be happy to
include you in His inner circle of
friends. He wants you to enjoy his
banquet. But He detests those who only
want these things and do not really want
HIM. That is why He hides behind “the
distressing disguise of the poor.” (Bl.
Teresa of Calcutta). What a wonderful,
mysterious king we have! What a
marvelous kingdom it will be! Long live
Christ the King!

There is still some self-love or egotism
“At first it hurts our eyes, but gradually we get used to it”
Part III of an Essay by Fr. Mark Wagner
In the Bible we find that the words
"fire" and "flames" are used many times,
but the majority of the time it is talking
about the flames of God. Sometimes
these words are used to describe Hell or
Purgatory, but usually the words "fire"
and "flames" are used to describe God
himself! (Cf. Gen. 15:17; Ex.2:2; Is. 33: 1116; Is. 66:15-16; Jer. 5:14; Jer.15:14; Ps.
66:10; Ps.68:2; Mk. 9:42-49; Lk. 12:49; 1
Cor. 3: 10-15; Heb. 12:29) This fact can be
helpful in trying to describe the afterlife.
When we go to meet God, it will be
something like being faced with a very
bright light such as the sun. The
scriptures say that God is light (1John 1:5),
and that he is like the sun (Matthew 5:45;
Rev. 1:16). When you think about it, God
probably created the sun to be a perfect
symbol of himself. Like God, the sun
gives warmth, light and life. Also, it is
interesting that you cannot look at the
sun, and in the Bible it says that no one
can see the face of God and live (Exodus
33:20). But God is love. God is like a
bright sun of burning love. Therefore
there are three possibilities when a
person dies and goes to meet God face-to
-face.
First, there are those who die with
hearts full of burning love for God and
neighbor. These saints fly straight into
the heart of God without delay.
Secondly, there are those who die
without even a spark of love in their
hearts. They only have self-love, or lust,
or selfish affection only for those people
who make them feel good. But none of
these are real love, which is charity. Their
hearts are small, dried-out and shriveled,
and so they cannot tolerate the flames of
God's love. They are completely unlike
God and so they can never enter his
presence. They have preferred darkness
to the light (John 3:19). The flames of
God's love are repulsive to them, and
cause them pain. God doesn't exactly
"send" people to Hell. It is not that God
rejects them or wants to cause them
pain. God can't help the way he is, and he
is saddened that some people make
themselves unfit for His presence. God is
like a gentle giant who unfortunately
causes fear and pain just by the way He is,
even though He does not wish to. The pain
is caused simply because of the way God
is, and because of the way some people
have made themselves.
Finally, there are those who die with
some love in their hearts. They have a
small flame of love in their hearts but
there is still too much self-love or
egotism. They want to go toward God but
the flames of God's love are much
stronger, much different.
God is
"completely other" and for them He is a
fearful, awesome God to look at (cf.
Hebrews 10:31). The Bible tells us that
even an angel is hard to look at. An angel
is totally different from anything known
on Earth (like a light that is not
light!) Whenever an angel appears in the
Bible his first words are always "Do not be
afraid." (An exception to this is when
Gabriel appeared to Mary!) God is much
holier than an angel. God is “Holy, Holy
Holy!” Approaching God is not an easy
thing for those who are unclean (Isaiah 6:17). Perhaps the gradual process of
approaching God and adjusting to His
presence can be compared to what
happens when we go from darkness into
sunlight. At first it hurts our eyes, but
gradually we get used to it. That painful
process of "adjusting" is what Catholics call
purgatory. St. Paul says that in the end we
will all be tested as if by fire and that all
that is not authentic will be burned away:
“the person will be saved, but only as
through fire.” (1Corinthians 3: 11-15). They
suffer pain because they cannot endure
the purity of the flames of God’s love. The
pain of separation and privation is unlike
any pain on earth. But still they are filled
with hope and joy because they know that
they are guaranteed to eventually enter
heaven. St. Catherine of Genoa, said “It
seems to me there is no joy comparable to
that of the pure souls in Purgatory, except
the joy of heavenly beatitude.”
At the last judgment we will all be
judged according to the size of our hearts,
or rather by the warmth of our hearts. It is
not so much that God "judges" us, but
rather that we judge ourselves, simply by
the way we are. The souls in purgatory are
“burning with a desire to be with God” but
they are not yet ready to “shine like the
sun in the kingdom
Father" (Matthew 13:43).

their
Respect Life
“The responsibility to defend human life in all
its stages falls upon all Catholic citizens. It
falls, with particular weight,
upon Catholic politicians”.

From our
Holy Father
in Rome
Pope Francis
Bishops called to be
living signs of the
Lords presence
Dear Brothers and Sisters: In
our catechesis on the Church,
we have seen that the Holy Spirit
constantly bestows his gifts for
the up building of the Body of
Christ. Among these gifts are the
ordained ministries.
Through the sacrament of
Holy Orders, bishops, priests and
deacons are called to guide and
protect Christ’s flock, above all
though the celebration of the
sacraments which give us new
life in Christ. The Church is thus
both hierarchical and maternal:
her ordained ministries are at the
service of her spiritual
motherhood.
This is especially clear in the
case of bishops, who are called
to lead the Christian community
as living signs of the Lord’s
presence in our midst. Like the
Apostles whose successors they
are, the Bishops form one
college in communion with the
Pope. This collegiality is seen not
only in special assemblies like the
recent Synod but also in the daily
communion of Bishops
throughout the world.
Let us ask the Lord to draw us
nearer to himself and to one
another through the ministry of
our bishops, priests and deacons,
in the unity of “our Holy Mother
the Hierarchical Church”.

Papa Francisco
Cristo hecho
visible en sus
Obispos
Todos buscan lo rico y poderoso
Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
En la catequesis de hoy nos
detenemos a considerar la dimensión
jerárquica de la Iglesia. Mediante los
ministerios, Cristo edifica la Iglesia como
su cuerpo. De entre ellos destaca el
ministerio episcopal, a través del cual el
Señor se hace presente en su Iglesia, la
guía y la cuida.
En la persona y el ministerio del
Obispo se expresa la maternidad de la
Iglesia, que nos engendra, alimenta y
conforta con los sacramentos. Como
sucesores de los Apóstoles, también los
obispos son enviados a anunciar el
Evangelio y apacentar el rebaño de
Cristo.
No se trata, por tanto, de un cargo
honorífico, sino de un servicio que se ha
de realizar siguiendo el ejemplo de
Jesús, el Buen Pastor. Por otra parte, al
igual que Jesús llamó y pensó en los
Apóstoles no por separado sino unidos
en torno a él, como una familia, también
los obispos constituyen un único
colegio, reunido en torno al Papa, que
es el custodio y garante de la comunión
entre ellos.
Así, todos los obispos repartidos por
el mundo se sienten unidos a los demás,
y son expresión visible del vínculo
íntimo que une sus respectivas
comunidades en la única Iglesia de
Cristo.

Padre Mark Wagner
Cuando alguien se gana la lotería,
gana una elección, o se vuelve rey, todo
de pronto esa persona suele conseguir
muchos amigos nuevos. Muchas personas
que antes no se le acercaban, de pronto
quieren pasar tiempo con esa persona
rica y poderosa, esperando aprovechar
de algo para sí mismo. Todos buscan lo
rico y poderoso. Es ventajoso ser amigo
de aquellos que le pueden invitar a
cenas lujosas y que pueden llevarnos a
ser parte del gentío que goza de ropa
fina, riquezas, salud, y libertad. No hay
ventajas de estar con aquellos
hambrientos, sedientos, desnudos,
enfermos, o encarcelados.
Hoy celebramos la gran Solemnidad
de Jesucristo, el Rey del Universo. Pero
irónicamente, si quiere estar cerca de Él,
Él dice que primero tiene que asociarse
con aquellos hambrientos, sedientos,
extranjeros, desnudos, enfermos, o
encarcelados. Si buscamos estar con este
rey, debemos de buscar aquellos que son
pequeños, porque Él dice, “cada vez que
lo hacen con el más pequeño de mis
hermanos, lo hacen conmigo.” (Véase
Mateo 25:31-46)
Por lo tanto, si desea comer bien, tiene
que primero buscar a alguien que tiene
hambre. Si desea beber bien, busque a
alguien que está muerto de sed. Si quiere
estar bienvenido, busque a una persona
ajena. Si admira la gente bonita, a la
moda, y saludable, vaya primero y mire a
la cara de alguien que no se ha lavado y
está enfermo. Si prefiere la libertad y el
privilegio, debe de visitar a alguien en la
cárcel. ¡Y Él dice que estará visitándolo a
Él! Ahí es dónde encontrarás este
rey. Nuestro rey le llevará con gusto a su
corte real. Él estará feliz de incluirle en su
círculo de amigos. Él desea que goce
Usted de su banquete. Pero Él detesta a
aquellos que sólo quieren esas cosas y en
realidad no quieren a ÉL. Es por eso que
se esconde detrás del “desfigurado disfraz
del pobre.” (Bendita Teresa de
Calcuta). ¡Qué rey tan maravilloso y
misterioso tenemos! ¡Qué reino tan
maravilloso será! ¡Qué viva Cristo Rey!

Leer, Meditar, Orar y Vivir
La Fiesta de Cristo Rey
Padre Hamilton Suarez
Estamos concluyendo otro año
litúrgico con toda la Iglesia. Es bueno que
hagamos un balance personal y
comunitario también, y nos preguntemos
si durante el tiempo transcurrido hemos
realizado una coherente acción
evangelizadora, de promoción humana,
de santificación personal y fraterna con
quienes vivimos, de glorificación a Dios
en Cristo, hacia donde convergen como
meta todas las actividades de la Iglesia. Y
debemos plantearnos más cosas a la luz
de la Palabra de Dios, en esta fiesta de
Cristo Rey: ¿Cómo estamos viviendo la
vida presente?, ¿tenemos presente la
vida futura?.
Nuestra vida tiene dos tiempos: El
primero es terrenal, el tiempo propicio
que estamos viviendo, el de la salvación,
donde contamos con Cristo como Buen
Pastor. El segundo es celestial, vendrá
aquel día cuando Cristo como Juez, se
siente en su trono de gloria y nada
quede impune ante El.
La fiesta de Cristo Rey nos ayuda a
reconsiderar, que todavía estamos en
tiempo favorable de la salvación, donde
todo depende de la disponibilidad para
acoger la invitación de Dios. El buen
pastor nos invita a no endurecer el
corazón para no ser seducidos por el
pecado. Merece la pena repetir
convencidamente: “el Señor es mi pastor
nada me falta”.
La Parroquia de St. Joseph tiene el gran gusto
de invitarlos a la celebracion Diocesana
Guadalupana, que se llevara a cabo el
domingo 7 de Diciembre del 2014 a las 12:00
del mediodia en la Iglesia Santa Maria en
Stockton.
Estaremos participando con un carro
alegorico en procesion hasta la Arena de
Stockton y concluiremos con la Santa Misa
oficiada por el Obispo Stephen Blaire.
Unamonos todos al Obispo Blaire en este
encuentro de fe a los pies de la Virgen y de su
hijo Jesucristo.
En la Diócesis...
Las mañanitas
El 12 de Diciembre estaremos
celebrando Las mañanitas a la
Virgen de Guadalupe motivo de
alegría, alabanza y oración.
Les hacemos la mas cordial
invitación a todos los fieles a

CORRESPONSABILIDAD
(STEWARDSHIP)
Por: Maria Delgado-Braun
Familia Wunschel
Charlotte Nevarrez ha sido un
miembro dinámico de la parroquia de St.
Joseph’s por los últimos ocho
años. Charlotte y su esposo, Nicolás
Nevarrez, tienen cuatro hijos adultos, dos
hijos y dos hijas. La energía de Charlotte,
su entusiasmo por la fe, y su amor de Dios
son cualidades que uno no puede
ignorar.
Ella siempre está ansiosa por
aprender y crecer espiritualmente y por
compartir con los que le
rodean. Charlotte ha tomado parte en
diferentes ministerios y eventos en nuevo
amada St. Joseph’s. Fue parte del Comité
de Muchas Manos Muchos Corazones por
un año y ha sido miembro del Comité del
Festival Anual por los últimos cuatro
años. Durante esos cuatro años, también
ha sido una catequista en nuestra Escuela
Parroquial de Religión (PSR, de las
iniciales en inglés) dónde ha compartido
varias horas por semana enseñándoles a
sus alumnos y ayudado en nuestra oficina
ocupada.
Charlotte se ofreció recientemente
para aceptar encabezar el nuevo grupo
“Sobremesa,” una reunión mensual para
los padres de familia de PSR, diseñado
para ayudarles a vivir la fe como una
familia y crecer en ella. Las habilidades
bilingües de Charlotte seguro van a
ayudar a coordinar este emotivo
propósito. Su disposición cariñosa, su
organización, y su amor de Dios y Su
pueblo la hacen un buen co-responsable
de los dones que Él le ha concedido.
¡Gracias, Charlotte,
por dar generosamente!
