IN TODAY’S GOSPEL Lk. 1:61-64

But his mother said in reply, "No. He will be called John." But they answered her, "There is no one among your relatives who has this name." So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called. He asked for a tablet and wrote, "John is his name," and all were amazed. Immediately his mouth

was opened, his tongue freed, and he spoke blessing God.

 

St. Francis heard the Lord speak to him, saying: “Go and rebuild my Church.”

FROM FR. ADRIAN

Now that First Communions and Confirmation are behind us and the Parish School is closed things are just a little quieter at the parish building these days. Lots happening over at the Mission though with the retrofit underway at last! It’s noisy for those of us who live alongside but it will be well worth it when we open the doors of the beautiful historic church in December, perhaps even in time for Christmas, if all goes accord-ing to plan. I conducted the long retreat in Ireland at the begin-ning of June taking as my theme, “Repairing the House…Building the Kingdom.” It was a great experi-ence, emotional and challenging with the Church in Ireland going through dark times in the wake of sexual abuse and misconduct as well as mismanagement and cover up by those in leadership. All of Europe is in the grip of fierce and quite aggressive secular forces that want to sideline the Church and reduce its influence to the minimum. But Ireland has had the Christian faith since the fourth century and in the past has been through what the old hymn calls “dungeon, fire and sword.” My feeling is that the Church will be purified by suffering and will emerge again as a beacon of light and hope in the darkness and emptiness of unbelief. During the retreat I used St. Francis as an example of how a very ordinary Christian can repair the damage to the House of the Faith, the Church – how truth can lead to forgiveness and peace when compassion is the foundation upon which the House is built. Only once, when an older woman took my hand outside the front door of the church after Mass and said, “Thank you for coming all this way to see us,” did I lose my compo-sure. I was deeply moved by the strength and faithful-ness of the people I met and by their gentle serenity in hard times for those who love the Faith. Fr. Luis celebrated his birthday on June 15 and was serenaded outside his window in the Mission at 4:40 A.M. by a group of parishioners with guitars led by our intrepid Director of Worship, Lupe Rios. I think I would have sprayed them with cold water at that time of the morning, but Fr. Luis, as kind as ever, took them in and rewarded them with pan dulces and hot chocolate, a traditional birthday treat in Mexico. We have ordered the icons for the Parish Chapel but I hear that everyone wants St. Anthony!! What is it about Anthony of Padua, even after eight hundred years, which makes him so popular? When I was in Ireland we had his feast day celebration on June 13

and the church was packed to the doors at Masses, morning and evening, in his honor. Everybody loves St. Anthony. He was, by all accounts, a gentle and humble person who was kindly and persuasive in his preaching and strong in his defense of the rights of the poor. Any-how, only one person can buy the icon for the Chapel, but we do have St. Francis and St Clare as well as oth-ers…so…let’s talk!! Wishing you a peaceful week ahead,

Fr. Adrian

OMMS CHRISTMAS IN JULY ARTISAN FAIR RETURNS FOR 35TH YEAR OF SUMMER FUN

What says summer more than carnivals, snow-cones, and rummage sales? How about all of that plus a little Christmas shopping? The annual Old Mission Montessori School (OMMS) “Christmas in July” Artisan Fair returns to our Parish on Sat-urday, July 14th and Sunday, July 15th. The annual tradition will again showcase the handmade wares of more than 150 artisan booths selling everything from seasonal decorations to candles to jewelry.

The carnival will bring festive rides and exciting games immediately adjacent to the Artisan Fair, beginning Fri., July 13th at 5:00 to 10:00 p.m., and continuing Sat. and Sun. from 1:00 to 10:00 p.m. In addition to the artisan fair, Christmas in July boasts a farmers’ market full of fresh flowers and locally grown fruits and vegetables, amazing deals at the popular Sister Gladys’ rummage sale, and homemade baked goods, ethnic foods, and traditional festival favorites such as sno-cones and hot-dogs. The live auction on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. has items from jewelry to golf clubs up for grabs to the highest bidder and proceeds benefit the school. The event is free and open to the public. A $2 parking donation is appreciated.

SCHOOL NEWS: The Catechetical Minute Roman Missal Questions

What is the Preface? The preface is the actual beginning of the Eucharistic prayer. It is introduced by responses that are very ancient. This exchange of prayer between the celebrant and the people is in a sense a liturgical prayer of dialogue; it is as though the people complete the prayers of the priest. The celebrant prays: The Priest raising his hands, continues: Lift up your hearts

The people: We lift them up to the Lord In the next set of responses the celebrant invites the people to join in the Eucharist (a word that means thanks-giving) as he asks them to give thanks to God to which they respond “It is right and just.” The language of the prayer now changes; it is reflecting the transition, that the celebrant is now directly acknowl-edging the people in whose name he prays to God. Over and over we hear how we are directed to fulfill our duty as God’s chosen people. This language comes out of the Ro-man heritage of the Missal, which is deeply law-bound. The invitation leads us to enter into the great prayer of thanksgiving together. Every Preface reaches conclusion in the acclimation of the “Holy, Holy, Holy.” The first part of this well known hymn is from the prophet Isaiah 6:3 describing the first vision before the throne of God. This ancient text was used by the Jewish people during the Synagogue Liturgy, the Kedusha, before the opening of the ark holding the Torah. The second part, beginning with the word “Blessed” is taken from Matthew 21:9 describing Jesus’ entry into Jeru-salem. The Holy, Holy, Holy is truly a Hymn and where pos-sible should always be sung. In the next article on this question, the core Prayers of the Preface and the reasons for the 49 Prefaces that are found in the Order of the Mass will be covered.

F A I T H F O R M A T I O N EVENTS AT THE MISSION/RETREAT CTR.

“Message of St. Francis for Contemporary Society” July 6 – 8, 2012

With Brother Mark Schroder, OFM

The relevance of St. Francis and the actions of Franciscan women and men for over 800 years can help us address the challenges that modern society brings to us. Political advertisements and media hype as elections near can con-fuse us. Franciscans (and others) cry out for us to uphold the common good, to better the lives of people caught in poverty and to bring respect to our Mother Earth. We will put a Franciscan-spin onto this by prayerfully using Scrip-ture, art, contemplation and a sense of humor. Brother Mark is living at the St. Francis Friary in Sacra-mento. He is working at a non-profit agency that provides housing options for homeless folks. He lived for seven years at Mission San Luis Rey, moving three years ago. This retreat begins with dinner Friday at 6:00pm and ends with lunch on S unday. Check-in from 4:00pm-6:00pm. Private single room $225; Shared room $180 pp; Commuter $130 pp. Pre-register online or call the Retreat Office at 760-757-3659/ www.sanluisrey.org

NOTA CATEQUITICA

Preguntas Sobre el Misal Romano

¿Qué es el prefacio?

El prefacio es el inicio actual de la Oración Eucarística. Es in-troducida por respuestas que son muy antiguas. Este inter-cambio de oración entre el celebrante y la gente en cierta forma un dialogo de oración litúrgica; es como si la gente completara las oraciones del sacerdote. El celebrante ora:

El Sacerdote levantando sus manos, continua: Levantemos el corazón La gente: Lo tenemos levantado hacia el Señor

En la siguiente serie de respuestas el celebrante invita a la comunidad a unirse en la Eucaristía (una palabra que significa agradecimiento) al pedirles que den gracias a Dios lo cual ellos responden “es justo y necesario.”

El lenguaje de la oración ahora cambia; se refleja la transición que el celebrante está reconociendo directamente a la gente cuyo nombre ora a Dios. Una y otra vez nosotros escuchamos cómo somos dirigidos a cumplir nuestro deber como los es-cogidos de Dios. Este lenguaje sale de la herencia del Misal Romano, el cual es obligado profundamente por la ley. La invitación nos lleva a entrar unidos en una gran oración de agradecimiento. Cada Prefacio llega a la conclusión en la aclamación del “Santo, Santo, Santo.”

La primera parte de este himno tan conocido es del profeta Isaías 6:3 describiendo la primera visión ante el trono de Dios. Este texto antiguo fue utilizado por el pueblo judío du-rante la liturgia del sinagoga, la kedusha, antes de la entrada de la arca deteniendo la Tora.

La segunda parte comenzando con la palabra “Bendito” es tomada de Mateo 21:9 describiendo la entrada de Jesús a Jerusalén. El Santo, Santo, Santo es verdaderamente un him-no y si es posible debe ser siempre cantado.

En el próximo artículo de esta pregunta... Las oraciones del núcleo del Prefacio, cubriremos las razones de los 49 Prefa-cios que son encontrados en la Orden da la Misa. Bischoff, Director de Catequesis

DEL ESCRITORIO DE PADRE ADRIAN…

Ahora que las Primeras Comuniones y las Confirmaciones quedaron atrás y la Escuela Parroquial está cerrada, las cosas están un poco más tranquilas en la parroquia estos días. ¡Sin embargo, muchas cosas están sucediendo en la Misión con la restauración sísmica en marcha, por fin! Es muy ruidoso para aquellos de nosotros que vivimos adjunto pero valdrá la pena una vez que abramos las puertas de la hermosa e histórica iglesia en diciembre, a lo mejor a tiempo para Navidad, si to-do va según lo previsto.

Al principio de junio lleve a cabo un largo retiro en Irlanda como tema, “Reparando la Casa… Construyendo el Reino.” Fue una gran experiencia, emocional y desafiante con la Igle-sia de Irlanda que esta pasando por tiempos obscuros como consecuencia de los actos de abuso sexual y mala conducta así como mala administración y encubrimiento por aquellos en puestos de liderazgo. Toda Europa tiene las garras feroces y las fuerzas seculares están bastante agresivas ya que quie-ren poner en un lado secundaria a la Iglesia y reducir su in-fluencia al mínimo. Pero Irlanda ha tenido la fe Cristiana des-de el siglo IV y a pasado a través de lo que el antiguo himno llama “calabozo, fuego y espada.” Mi sentimiento es que la Iglesia será purificada por el sufrimiento y surgirá de nuevo como un resplandor de luz y de esperanza en la obscuridad y el vacío de la incredibilidad. Durante el retiro use a San Fran-cisco como ejemplo en cómo un Cristiano ordinario puede reparar el daño de la Casa de Fe, la Iglesia—cómo la verdad puede guiarnos al perdón y a la paz cuando la compasión es la fundación en la cual la Casa es construida. Solo una vez, cuan-do una mujer anciana tomo mi mano afuera de la puerta de la entrada de la iglesia después de Misa y me dijo, “Gracias por venir hasta aquí para vernos,” fue donde perdí mi compostu-ra. Yo fui profundamente tocado por la fuerza y la fe de la gente que conocí y por su serenidad tierna en tiempos difíci-les para aquellos que aman la Fe.

El Padre Luis celebro su cumpleaños el 15 de junio y tuvo se-renata afuera de su ventana en la Misión a las 4:40 a.m. por un grupo de feligreses con guitarras guiados por nuestro in-trépido Director de Alabanza, Lupe Ríos. Yo pienso que yo los habría rociado con agua fría a esa hora de la mañana, pero el Padre Luis, gentil como siempre, los invito a pasar y los pre-mio con chocolate caliente y pan dulce, tradicionalmente acostumbrado en México para los cumpleaños.

¡¡Nosotros hemos ordenado los iconos para la Capilla Parro-quial pero he escuchado que todos quieren a San Antonio!! ¿Por qué San Antonio de Padua, aún después de ochocientos años, qué lo hace tan popular? Cuando estuve en Irlanda no-sotros celebramos su día festivo el 13 de junio y la iglesia es-taba llena a su capacidad, en las Misas de la mañana y de la tarde, en su honor. Todos aman a San Antonio. Continua en la siguiente columna...

...El era, sin duda, una persona gentil y humilde que era ama-ble y convincente en su prédica y fuerte en su defensa del derecho de los pobres. ¡¡En fin, solo una persona puede com-prar el icono para la Capilla, pero nosotros aún tenemos a San Francisco y Santa Clara como a otros también… así que… hay que hablar!!

Deseándoles una semana tranquila,

Padre Adrian Peelo, ofm

PRECURSOR DEL SEÑOR

La historia de la concepción y el nacimiento de Juan el Bautis-ta es una historia muy humana. Sus ancianos padres, sin hijos, conciben un hijo en su vejez, al igual que Abraham y Sara con-cibieron a Isaac. ¡La promesa del Dios de la salvación parece incluir el nacimiento tardío de niños extraordinarios!

Juan fue, como dice el profeta Isaías, conocido por Dios desde sus primeros días, formado en el vientre de su madre Isabel, en secreto, pero antes de que nadie, excepto ella lo supiera. Era fuerte en el espíritu desde antes de su nacimiento, y cre-ció hasta convertirse en el predicador y profeta más podero-so. Fue el precursor elegido del Señor; el profeta Elías que vuelve a anunciar la venida del Mesías y a preparar a la gente mediante el bautismo de arrepentimiento.
