June 12, 2016 Festival - St. Agatha Catholic Church
June 12, 2016 Festival: June 10, 11 and 12th! 12 de Junio de 2016 ¡Fiesta el 10, 11 y 12 de junio! Suffering Disabilities, Jesus encounters a woman who is “spiritually ill.” She is thus “disabled” from participating in Israel’s worshiping community or polite society. Bathing Jesus’ feet with tears, drying them with unveiled hair, anointing them (Luke 7:38) risk Jesus’ becoming “unclean.” Yet his mercy welcomes even such inappropriate behavior as her sincere manifestation of love: “Your sins are forgiven. Go in peace” (7:48, 50). Go not just in “peace,” but in shalom, the all-enveloping, life-changing assurance of God’s mercy. She is anonymous, “known in the city” only as “a sinful woman” (7:37). The character with name and religious title, “Simon the Pharisee” (7:36, 40), judges her harshly, but himself not at all, and thus forfeits God’s mercy. This Jubilee Year of Mercy challenges us to self-examination. In which role do we most often cast ourselves, humble sinner or judgmental Pharisee? Jesus declares that only by an unfailing willingness to show mercy to fellow sinners can we hope to obtain mercy ourselves (see Misericordiae Vultus, 9). - Peter Scagnelli Check in at St. Agatha’s Facebook Page! -Alfio Mazzei -Alicia Jimenez Bravo -Andres Luna -Arlasha Allen -Barbara Harvey -Bonita Sanderlin -Camille Jones -Carlos Antonio Vasquez -Christina Paul -Damacio Horta -Dulce Maria E.

Ella no puede participar plenamente ni en la comunidad de culto y adoración de Israel ni en la sociedad. Ella lava los pies de Jesús con sus lágrimas y los seca con el cabello, ungiéndolos, arriesgando a que Jesús quede “impuro”. Sin embargo, su misericordia acoge estas acciones inapropiadas como una manifestación sincera de amor: “tus pecados son perdonados. Vete en paz.” No solo ve en “paz”, sino en shalom, con todo lo que esto significa, la garantía de que la vida cambia con la misericordia de Dios. Ella es una mujer excluida y “solo conocida en la ciudad” como “una mujer pecadora” . El personaje con nombre y título religioso “Simón el fariseo” la juzga muy fuertemente, pero él mismo no se juzga y por lo tanto, desaprovecha la misericordia de Dios. Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia nos desafía a hacer un examen personal de conciencia. ¿En cuál situación nos encontramos más frecuentemente, como una persona que reconoce sus culpas o como un fariseo listo para juzgar? Jesús dice que mediante una voluntad inquebrantable para mostrar misericordia a nuestros prójimos pecadores nosotros mismos podemos obtener misericordia. “Let us be neither dogs that do not bark nor silent onlookers nor paid servants who run away before the wolf. Instead let us be careful shepherds watching over Christ’s flock. Let us preach the whole of God’s plan to the powerful and to the humble, to rich and to poor, to men of every rank and age, as far as God gives us the strength, in season and out of season.” - St. Boniface, Bishop and Martyr 2 Page | www.stagthas.org To build and foster a Christian Community that offers the opportunity to experience God’s unconditional love and acceptance to all who come into contact with it. Construir y alimentar una Comunidad Cristiana que ofrece la oportunidad de experimentar el amor incondicional de Dios y la aceptación a todos con quienes nos encontremos. T oday we hear about forgiveness in our readings. The first reading from 2 Samuel has always seemed unreal to me. How could God forgive David for taking the life of another woman's husband so she could be his? I guess I am measuring God's love and forgiveness by me rather than the other way around. How many times have we done this? It is so hard to believe that our God is made of love and forgiveness. We need to spend more time remembering that we are human beings. We all sin and need to say, "I have sinned against the Lord." Our tears wash Jesus' feet, inviting his mercy to anoint us. May we not be discouraged. Christ has come to lift this burden and give us peace. El día de hoy las lecturas se tratan del perdón. La primera lectura de Samuel no se me hacen tan reales. ¿Cómo es que Dios perdonó a David por haber matado el esposo de una mujer para que ella fuera de él? A lo mejor estoy midiendo la misericordia y el perdón de Dios con ojos subjetivos. ¿Cuántas veces hemos hecho esto? Es muy difícil creer que nuestro Dios es amor y perdón. Necesitamos tomar más tiempo en ser humanos. Todos pecamos y ocupamos decir, “He pecado en contra del Señor.” Dejemos que nuestras lágrimas limpien los pies de Jesús al ser invitados a la misericordia. Que no nos rindamos puesto que Jesús ha venido para tomar la carga y darnos paz. Since Christ has done this for us, how can we not do the same for one another? Remember, Christians are forgiven and forgiving. Ya que Cristo ha hecho esto por nosotros, ¿cómo lo podamos hacer por alguien más? Recuerden, los Cristianos somos gente que perdona y que son perdonados. Have a blessed week, Sr. Karen Collier Que tengan una semana bendita, Hermana Karen Collier Cancer Support Group We would like to form a cancer support group.

It was a joy seeing the happy and nervous faces of children who received the Blessed Sacrament for the first time. I hope the parents commit to bringing their children every Sunday so that they may receive Jesus weekly. It is important to nourish your soul just as it is to nourish your body. Parents, thank you for your cooperation and patience in attending the required parent classes. The catechists and myself hope that the lectures were of great benefit for you and your families. Catechists: In the name of our Parish Family I THANK YOU for one more year of dedication and love for the children and parents of our First Communion Program. You are a blessing for our parish, our children, our teenagers and adults. Special thanks to Mrs. Virginia Boccato, Ms. Connie Santiago, Ms. Karla Orante, who will not be able to return next year for personal and family reasons. We are going to miss you every Saturday, and we look forward to seeing you in our community. Many thanks for your dedication, energy and time. May God bless you! Congratulations to the 34 teenagers and 11 adults who received their Confirmation on June 4th with His Eminence Bishop Thomas J. Curry, DD, PhD, VG. I hope that the Holy Spirit has blessed the Confirmed with many Gifts and Talents. I hope that second reading becomes true to the newly confirmed: “I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me ” (Gal 2:1920. Muchas Felicidades a los 110 niños que hicieron su Primera Comunión, que alegría ver esos rostros felices y nerviosos porque por primera vez iban a recibir a Jesús Sacramentado. Espero que sus papas continúen trayéndolos a Misa para que comulguen cada semana, ya que es importante continuar alimentando nuestra alma así como alimentamos nuestro cuerpo. Padres de familia, muchas gracias por su cooperación y paciencia al asistir a las clases de padres requeridas. Los catequistas y yo esperamos que esas clases hayan sido de mucho provecho para ustedes y su familia. Catequistas: en nombre de nuestra familia parroquial les doy las GRACIAS por un año más de dedicación y amor para con los niños y padres de familia de nuestro Programa de Primera Comunión, son una Bendición para nuestra parroquia y nuestros niños, adolescentes y adultos. Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento y apreciación para Mrs. Virginia Bocatto, Miss Connie Santiago y Miss Karla Orante, quiénes no podrán regresar a enseñar el próximo año debido a otros compromisos familiares y personales. Las vamos a extrañar los sábados, pero continuaremos viéndonos aquí en nuestra comunidad. Muchas, muchas gracias por toda su dedicación, energía y tiempo. Dios las Bendiga!!! Muchas felicidades también a los 34 adolescentes y 11 adultos que recibieron su Confirmación el 4 de junio de parte del Reverendo Obispo Thomas J. Curry, D.D., Ph. D., V.G. Espero que el Espíritu Santo haya derramado muchos Dones y Frutos en los nuevos confirmados. Nuestra Iglesia está rebozando de alegría y llena del Espíritu Santo. Esperamos que de estos Jóvenes y Adultos que se han confirmado ayer se cumpla lo que dice la segunda lectura: ““Estoy crucificado con Cristo. Vivo, pero ya no soy yo el que vive, es Cristo quien vive en mi, pues mi vida en este mundo la vivo en la fe que tengo en el Hijo de Dios” (Gálatas 2:19-20) Que tengan un pacífico y Bendecido fin de Semana, May you have a peaceful and blessed week, Teresa Amezcua Directora de la Oficina de Formación de Fe Teresa Amezcua Director of Faith Formation 4 Page | www.stagthas.org Faith Formation News Noticias de la Oficina de Formación de Fe 1) Registrations for First Communion are available at the entrance (vestibule) of the church.
