PASTOR’S COLUMN

Dear Community of Our Lady of Perpetual Help,

I thank God for having me here with you. In the very short time I have been here, I have gotten to dialogue with many of you. I feel I have bonded with this community. As we work on maintaining our beautiful Church, I ask that you consider supporting the re-furbishing of pews in our Church.

We are not making new pews, just doing the required up-keep of the ones we have. The cost of the project is $225,000. The pew unit cost is $2,500. If even family in the parish gives $100, we will easily cover the cost. If we take care of our church, it will con-tinue to be a place of prayer, where many people, now and in the future, will nourish their relationship with our living God.

As you make our donations, in a blank envelope, please write your name and indicate that your donation is for the “pews” and give us a family name or name of a person, living or deceased, that you want us to remember in our framed list of donors. We will offer Holy Mass, perpetually, for all these people and all benefactors of our Church.

Let us work together to carry out the Work of God. All of you are in my prayers.

“I will make you a light to the nations …” Isaiah Monsignor Lorenzo

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us!

Keeping children safe during summer

During the summer, children may spend me at a camp or program. It is important to monitor for poten al risks when a child enters a new environment. Ask to see the organiza ons wri en policies for the adults who will be supervising your child, check if there are procedures in place for emergencies and make sure there is a system for open communica on between parents and organiz-ers/leadership. Taking me to check these and other safeguards is key to building safe and nurturing experi-ences for children. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® ar cle “Keeping Children Safe” visit h p://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protec ng/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Ar cles.aspx.

OUR LADY SCHOOL NEWS My brothers and sisters, John the Baptist teaches us that greatness is in being oneself, in the fidelity to the mission God has entrusted to us, when they confuse him with the Messiah. John rectifies immediate-ly "I am not the Christ... I baptize with water, but there is someone in your midst who you do not know. He comes after me and I don't deserve to loose one of his sandals strap. He will baptize in the fire, in the breath of the Holy Spirit." Blessings, Deacon Carlos

Lord, Hear our prayers. Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families. We ask this in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

awake to everything we do and all that surrounds

us, we become mindful of God’s

gi s and the grace available to

us.

This takes prac ce, joyful effort,

and discipline.

glory of God; the firmament

RIPE AND READY  Teachers and coaches know how to modify their tac cs to reach various learners. God does the same with us, perfectly assessing the precise interven on we need in par cular situa ons. God sent Jesus into the world at the ripest moment in human history. Although plenty of prophets, for centuries, had foretold the coming of the Messiah, the profound honor of mee ng Christ himself fell to John the Bap-

st. The Gospel of Ma hew tells us what this blessed prophet was like: “John wore clothing made of camel’s hair and had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.” Out of an infinite variety of people throughout all of hu-man history, God chose John the Bap st, in his wild-ness, to make us ready to meet the Son of God. LEAST LIKELY TO SUCCEED   Few, if any, of us would be likely to choose John the Bap st as the one to prepare the world to meet its savior. Most of us would feel awkward around John, given his food and clothing choices, and his constant reminders to repent of our sins. John’s own father, Zechariah, doubted God’s providence when he learned his wife Elizabeth would give birth to John. As a punishment, the angel Gabriel re-moved Zechariah’s ability to speak. Luke’s Gospel reading today recounts the moment when Zechari-ah acknowledges God’s plan for his son. He sup-ports Elizabeth—who had trusted in God’s provi-dence all along—and regains his voice. Zechariah rejoices in God’s wisdom, praising God to all their neighbors. John’s story reminds us how our ins ncts o en run counter to God’s wisdom. Though we avoid awkward and difficult people, God chooses a locust-ea ng man to show us the way to Jesus. The lesson of John the Bap st is never to underes mate the power and wisdom of God. This inspires hope! We, like John, are “fearfully, wonderfully made” (Psalm 139). God has beau ful plans for each of us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

MADURO Y LISTO       Los profesores y entrenadores conocen cómo modi-ficar sus tác cas para ayudar a sus diferentes estu-diantes. Dios hace lo mismo con nosotros, evaluando perfectamente la intervención precisa que necesita-mos en situaciones par culares. Dios envía a Jesús al mundo en el momento más maduro en la historia de la humanidad. Aunque por siglos, muchos profetas habían anunciado la venida del Mesías, el profundo honor de conocer al mismo Cristo cayó sobre Juan el Bau sta. El Evangelio de Mateo nos dice que este pro-feta bendecido era así: “Juan usaba ropa hecha con piel de camello y tenía un cinturón sobre su cintura. Comía insectos y miel silvestre”. De una infinita varie-dad de personas a lo largo de toda la historia de la hu-manidad, Dios eligió a Juan el Bau sta, en su vida sal-vaje, para prepararnos a conocer al Hijo de Dios.

MENOS PROBABLE PARA TENER ÉXITO   Pocos de nosotros, si es que alguno, probablemen-te elegiríamos a Juan el Bau sta para preparar al mun-do para que encontrara a su salvador. Muchos de no-sotros nos sen ríamos incómodos estando cerca de Juan, por su comida y su forma de ves r y su constan-te insistencia de recordarnos del arrepen miento de nuestros pecados. El mismo Zacarías, padre de Juan, dudaba de la providencia de Dios cuando supo que su esposa Isabel tendría a Juan. Como cas go, el ángel Gabriel le quitó el habla. La lectura del Evangelio de Lucas narra el momento en que Zacarías reconoce el plan de Dios para su hijo. Él apoya a Isabel, quien con-fió en la providencia de Dios todo el empo, y así re-cupera el habla. Zacarías se alegra de la sabiduría de Dios, alabando a Dios a todos sus vecinos. La historia de Juan nos recuerda como nuestros ins-

ntos a menudo están en contra de la sabiduría de Dios. Aunque evitamos a las personas torpes y di ci-les, Dios elige a un hombre que come insectos para mostrarnos el camino hacia Jesús. La lección de Juan el Bau sta es nunca subes mar la fuerza y sabiduría de Dios. ¡Eso debe inspirarnos esperanza! Nosotros, como Juan, somos “temerosos, hechos maravillosa-mente” (Salmo 139). Dios ene bellos planes para ca-da uno de nosotros. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

COLUMNA DEL PASTOR Querida Comunidad de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro,

Le doy gracias a Dios por tenerme con ustedes. En el breve tiempo que he estado aquí, he llegado a dialogar con muchos de ustedes. Siento que he creado lazos con esta comunidad. Al trabajar para mantener nuestra Iglesia Hermosa, les pido que consideren apoyar la renovación de las bancas en la Iglesia.

No estamos hacienda bancas nuevas, solamente dando el mantenimiento requerido a las bancas existentes. El costo total de este proyecto es $225,000. El costo por cada banca es $2,500. Si todas las familias de la parroquia dan $100, fácilmente cubriremos el costo. Si cuidamos nuestra Iglesia, continuará siendo un lugar de oración, donde muchas personas, ahora y en el futuro, podrán alimentar su relación con nuestro Dios Vivo.

Al dar su donación, claro en un sobre, por favor escriban su nombre y que es para las “bancas” y nos dan un nombre de familia o el nombre de una persona viva o difunta, que ustedes quieren que recordemos en el cuadro de donantes. Ofreceremos la Santa Misa, perpetuamente, para todos estas personas y todos los bienhechores de esta Iglesia.

Trabajemos unidos para llevar a cabo la Obra de Dios. Todos ustedes siempre están en mis oraciones.

“Te voy a convertir en luz para las naciones …” Isaías

Monseñor Lorenzo Miranda

Mantener los niños seguros durante el verano

Durante el verano, los niños pueden pasar su empo en un campo o en un programa. Es importante monito-rearlos para potenciales riesgos que suceden cuando un niño entra a un nuevo ambiente. Solicite ver las polí cas de la organización para los adultos que estarán supervi-sando a su hijo o hija, revise que la organización tenga un plan de seguridad para casos de emergencia, y verifique que exista un sistema para mantener comunicación en-tre los padres de familia y los organizadores y los líderes. Tomar el empo para comprobar estas y otras medidas de salvaguardias es clave para construir experiencias se-guras y sanas para los niños.

NOTICIAS DE LA ESCUELA Mis hermanos y mis hermanas,

Juan Bautista nos enseña que la grandeza está en ser uno mismo, en la fidelidad a la misión que Dios nos ha confiado, cuando lo confunden con el Mesías. Juan rectifica inmediatamente "Yo no soy el Cristo... Yo bautizo con agua, pero hay alguien en medio de ustedes a quien no conocen. El viene detrás de mí y yo no merezco soltarle la correa de sus sandalias. El los bautizará en el fuego o bien en el soplo del Espíri-tu Santo."

Bendiciones, Diácono Carlos
