From the Pastor’s Laptop Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today I feel like my father is being made a saint! Pope John Paul II became pope when I was 18 years old, and he continued as our “Holy Father” until I had been a priest for 17 years. I am a priest of the “JPII Generation.” His example inspired me to aspire to the holy priesthood, to consecrate myself totally to Christ through Mary, and to focus my studies on the church’s teachings on marriage. I received a degree from the “John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family” which he had founded in Rome in 1981. I am inspired by his writings, his heroism, his courage and the reported cures and other miracles attributed to his intercession both during his life and after his death.
Blessed John XXIII is also being canonized today in Rome. “Good Pope John” was elected pope at age 77 and died four years later in 1963 (I was only 2 years old!). Throughout his life he was a man of fatherly love. During World War I, he served as a medic and chaplain in the Italian army. He helped save Jews from the Nazis during World War II. He was a strong vigorous pope who initiated the revision of the Code of Canon Law and convoked the Second Vatican Council II to renew the Church.
Cardinal Angelo Comastri explained that “While Pope John XXIII was dying, something similar took place to what happened when Pope John Paul II died. The world appeared to be reconciled around the the bed of the dying Pope. Jews, Buddhists, even jail inmates, all communicated their sentiments to the Secretary of State, because Pope John XXIII was felt to be the father of the world, the father of humanity, the father who had helped men to feel more like brothers.”
At the Canonization Mass in Rome today, four great popes will be present: two on earth and two in heaven! Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI will canonize Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. We thank God for entrusting the modern church to such capable stewards! The words of St. Paul have been fulfilled in the lives of each of these fatherly and saintly men: “Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now it is of course required of stewards that they be found trustworthy….” (1Cor. 4:1)

Bringing Families Together
Normally, this section of our bulletin profiles one steward at a time. This week we have one of those rare situations when it is almost impossible to determine how to separate these two married stewards. They each support one another, are always a team, and together, model the best way to “steward” a marriage. Mike is currently our Knights of Columbus Grand Knight and Nickie serves in Militia Immaculata Leadership. She spent hours last year on our Hall floor, meticulously creating the system that would eventually count over 48,000 cans of food for our Guinness Record attempt. She has served at hospitality countless times; and both have served on the Stewardship Committee. Together, they teach classes, work behind the scenes and never...seek recognition. This is a hard road to walk, humbling oneself, being obedient to our Lord , all the while being a neighbor and helping hand to those in need. If you have been struggling with wondering how you can take the next small step in becoming a better steward of your gifts, please stop and talk to Mike and Nickie. They can help you find the “smile of service” they so easily share.

APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH - PREVENTING CHILD ABUSE IS EVERYONE’S
RESPONSIBILITY The Internet has become the new schoolyard for child molesters seeking girls or boys to victimize. Internet “chat rooms” provide a teenager with an opportunity to engage in a “live” conversation with friends from school or church, or with other teenagers from around the world. Law enforcement has found that child molesters use chat rooms to gain easy and safe access to teens. Because of the seemingly caring and seductive talent of child molesters, teenagers should be warned that when they are in a chat room, they should never provide anyone with private information, personal information, and especially their specific physical location. It is every adult’s moral responsibility to protect possible victims by reporting suspected abuse or neglect to the responsible authorities. For information on how to report suspected abuse, contact your local parish safe environment coordinator or Linda Dillen, Manager & Diocesan Safe Environment Training Coordinator, Diocese of Stockton, (209) 466-0636.

Bole n Parroquial en Español! DEL LAPTOP DEL PÁRROCO, Padre Mark Wagner
Página 8 - St. Joseph’s Modesto
Bienvenido a St. Joseph’s
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, ¡Hoy me siento como si mi padre estuviese sindo un santo! El
Papa Juan Pablo II fue nombrado papa cuando yo tenia diez y ocho años, y continuó siendo nuestro “Santo Padre” hasta que yo ya había sido un sacerdote por diez y siete años. Yo soy un sacerdote de “la Generación de JPII.” Su ejemplo me inspiró a llegar a obtener el santo sacerdocio, a consagrarme totalmente a Cristo por medio de Maria, y a enfocar mis estudios en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia sobre el matrimonio. Recibí mi grado en Estudios del Matrimonio y la Familia del “Instituto Juan Pablo II,” el cual fue fundado en Roma por él en 1981. He sido inspirado por sus escritos, su heroísmo, su valentía y sus reportadas sanaciones y otros milagros atribuidos a su intercesión durante su vida y después de su muerte.
El Beato Juan XXIII también va a ser canonizado hoy en Roma. El “Buen Papa Juan” fue elegido papa a la edad de 77 años y murió cuatro años mas tarde en 1963 (¡yo solo tenia dos años!). Durante su vida fue un hombre de amor paternal. Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, sirvió como medico y capellán en el ejercito italiano. El era un papa fuerte y lleno de vigor que inició la revisión del Código de Leyes Canónicas y convocó el Concilio Vaticano II para renovar a la Iglesia.
El Cardenal Angelo Comastri explicó que “mientras el Papa Juan XXIII se estaba muriendo, ocurrió algo similar a cuando el papa Juan Pablo II murió. El mundo parecía haberse reconciliado alrededor del lecho del papa que moría. Judíos, Budistas, y hasta presos en la cárcel, todos comunicaron sus sentimiento al secretario de Estado. El Papa Juan XXIII había sido como un padre para todo el mundo, el padre de la humanidad, el padre que había ayudado a que todos los hombres se sintieran como hermanos.”
¡Durante la Misa de Canonización hoy, cuatro papas estarán presentes: dos en la tierra y dos en el cielo! El Papa Francisco y el Papa Emérito Benedicto XVI canonizarán al Papa Juan XXIII y el Papa Juan Pablo II. ¡Le damos gracias a Dios por dar la Iglesia moderna a unos corresponsables tan competentes ! Las palabras de San Pablo se hicieron realidad en las vidas de estos santos padres: “Que todo hombre nos considere de esta manera: como servidores de Cristo y administradores de los misterios de Dios. Ahora bien, lo que se requiere además de los administradores es que cada uno sea hallado fiel …” (1Cor. 4:1).
ROSARIO A LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE
El 12 de cada mes a las 7pm se reza el Rosario en español en la iglesia en honor a la Virgen de Guadalupe.
FERIA DE SALUD Y BIENESTAR Caridades Católicas tendrán una feria de Salud y Bienestar gratuita el 4 de Mayo. Se ofrecen exámenes médicos, dentales, y de visión en el Centro Comunitario de St. Stanislaus, 1416 Maze Boulevard de 9am a 3pm. ¡Venga y aprenda más sobre Covered California, Programa de Cal-Fresh, Programas de Consejería, Servicios de Inmigración, y mucho más!

HACIA LA ORDENACION Por favor, únase en oración a la Diócesis de Stockton por el Seminarista César Martínez (Santa Francisca Romana, Riverbank) quien será ordenado al Diaconado Transitorio el Sábado, 17 de Mayo, en el Seminario de San Patricio. Si Dios quiere, dentro de un año, César será ordenado sacerdote. Oremos por César y por los demás seminaristas.

Nuestro Santo Padre en Roma CORRESPONSABILIDAD (STEWARDSHIP)
Por Tammy Menezes
MIKE Y NICKIE MIRANDA
AUDIENCIA GENERAL Miércoles 26 de marzo de 2014
Queridos hermanos y hermanas: Hemos tenido ya ocasión de destacar que los tres sacramentos: Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía constituyen juntos el misterio de la «iniciación cristiana», un único y gran acontecimiento de gracia que nos regenera en
Cristo. Es esta la vocación fundamental que une a todos en la Iglesia, como discípulos del Señor Jesús. Hay luego dos sacramentos que corresponden a dos vocaciones específicas: se trata del Orden y del Matrimonio. Ellos
constituyen dos grandes caminos a través de los cuales el cristiano puede hacer de la propia vida un don de amor, siguiendo el ejemplo y en el nombre de Cristo, y así cooperar en la edificación de la Iglesia. El Orden, constituido por los tres grados de episcopado, presbiterado y diaconado, es el sacramento que habilita para el ejercicio del ministerio, confiado por el Señor Jesús a los Apóstoles, de apacentar su rebaño, con el poder de su Espíritu y según su corazón. Apacentar el rebaño de Jesús no con el poder de la fuerza humana o con el propio poder, sino con el poder del Espíritu y según su corazón, el corazón de Jesús que es un corazón de amor. El sacerdote, el obispo, el diácono debe apacentar el rebaño del Señor con amor. Si no lo hace con amor no sirve. Y en ese sentido, los ministros que son elegidos y consagrados para este servicio prolongan en el tiempo la presencia de Jesús, si lo hacen con el poder del Espíritu Santo en nombre de Dios y con amor. Un primer aspecto. Aquellos que son ordenados son puestos al frente de la comunidad. Están «al frente» sí, pero para Jesús significa poner la propia autoridad al servicio, como Él mismo demostró y enseñó a los discípulos con estas palabras: «Sabéis que los jefes de los pueblos los tiranizan y que los grandes los oprimen. No será así entre vosotros; el que quiera ser grande entre vosotros, que sea vuestro servidor, y el que quiera ser el primero entre vosotros, que sea vuestro esclavo. Igual que el Hijo del hombre no ha venido a ser servido sino a servir y a dar su vida en rescate por muchos» (Mt 20, 25-28 / Mc 10, 42-45). Un obispo que no está al servicio de la comunidad no hace bien; un sacerdote, un presbítero que no está al servicio de su comunidad no hace bien, se equivoca. Otra característica que deriva siempre de esta unión sacramental con Cristo es el amor apasionado por la Iglesia. Pensemos en ese pasaje de la Carta a los Efesios donde san Pablo dice que Cristo «amó a su Iglesia: Él se entregó a sí mismo por ella, para consagrarla, purificándola con el baño del agua y la palabra, y para presentársela gloriosa, sin mancha ni arruga ni nada semejante, sino santa e inmaculada» (5, 25-27). En virtud del Orden el ministro se entrega por entero a la propia comunidad y la ama con todo el corazón: es su familia. El obispo, el sacerdote aman a la Iglesia en la propia comunidad, la aman fuertemente. ¿Cómo? Como Cristo ama a la Iglesia. Lo mismo dirá san Pablo del matrimonio: el esposo ama a su esposa como Cristo ama a la Iglesia. Es un misterio grande de amor: el ministerio sacerdotal y el del matrimonio, dos sacramentos que son el camino por el cual las personas van habitualmente al Señor.
Normalmente esta sección del boletín se le dedica a un corresponsal. Esta semana tenemos una de esas raras situaciones cuando es imposible determinar como separa a estos corresponsables esposos. Ellos se prestan apoyo el uno al otro, y juntos son un modelo de la mejor manera de vivir un matrimonio “corresponsable.” Mike es el presidente de nuestros Caballeros de Colon y Nickie es parte del liderazgo de la Milicia de la Inmaculada. El año pasado, ella dedicó una gran cantidad de horas en nuestro salón parroquial, creando un sistema para contar las 48,000 latas de comida para el record de Guinness. Ella ha servido muchas veces en hospitalidad; y los dos han sido parte del Comité de Corresponsabilidad. Juntos enseñan clases, trabajan muchas veces sin ser vistos y nunca… tratan de recibir reconocimiento. Es difícil caminar este sendero, humildemente, y obedeciendo a nuestro Señor, siendo un buen vecino y ayudando a aquellos que lo necesitan. Si se ha estado preguntando como tomar el primer paso para ser un buen corresponsal y compartir sus dones, por favor hable con Mike y Nickie, ellos le ayudaran a servir con una sonrisa.
