IV Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano
LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Brothers and Sisters, What would happen if Jesus came to church next Sunday? I mean, if he showed up in his first-century garb—robe, sandals, beard—and walked up to the ambo and began to speak. What would you do? How would you react?
I suspect it's a safe bet that all of us would have our eyes fixed on him and our ears alert to every word he would speak. Of course, somebody would probably be on a cell phone alerting the media to this miraculous event!
Such an event should not strike us as so unusual, however. Though he does not ap-pear in first-century dress, Jesus comes here every Sunday to speak to us. That's what the Catholic tradition teaches—that when the word of God is proclaimed in our midst, Christ speaks to us today. He comes in disguise, we might say, speaking through the lectors and deacons and priests who proclaim the readings. The Second Vatican Council put it this way in 1963: “[Christ] is present in his word, since it is he himself who speaks when the holy Scriptures are read in the Church” (CSL, # 7).
This is the third way that Christ reveals his presence during the Eucharist. Every time we gather in his name, Christ has something to say to us. Reverence for Christ present in his word calls us to attentive listening. Formed in the time when the Mass was in Latin and we had to read along, many Catholics still have a habit of reading the texts as they are proclaimed. The proper response is to put down the books and listen with open ears and open hearts to what the Lord is saying to us.
Listening does not mean being passive, however. Truly listening is a very active response when someone speaks to us. We show respect for anyone who talks with us by looking at the person and concentrating on what he or she is saying. That takes effort on our part, not allowing other thoughts or external distractions to claim our attention.
It may be helpful to realize, however, that our primary task is not to get every word that is spoken, but to listen carefully for whatever word the Lord wants each of us to hear that day. That will vary from person to person, but Christ offers each of us the message that we really need to hear. It's a good idea to read the readings at home before you come to Mass; that's why most parishes print the Bible references in the bulletin each week so that you can look them up. Then when the word is proclaimed, you can allow Christ to speak directly to you through the readings and the homily. If you are touched deeply by one word or phrase or idea every Sunday, and if you nurture that word in your heart through the week, then God's word will be effective in your life.
In the silence after the readings and after the homily, you might ask yourself two simple questions: What did you hear Christ say? And how will you live that word this week? The answers to those questions can change your life!
Beginning our special week when we honor St. Joseph on Wednesday, March 19th, let us invoke this patron of a happy death for those who have recently died,. May they be at peace.
Always forward! Msgr. Art
NO CONFESSIONS ON SWALLOWS DAY

MBS Welcomes Some Very Special Guests MBS Athletic Director Pat Forster recently encountered some very special guests making a long awaited return to the Mission School campus. Leading them was Sister Paulea who taught at Old Mission School during the 1960s. Sister grew up in Chicago and was with the School Sisters of Saint Francis of Mil-waukee, Wisconsin. Also along was Father Pat O’Hagan who was born in Drumbo, Northern Ireland and served as a diocesan priest in Los Angeles for forty years. Both Sister Paulea and Father Pat were friends of our pastor, Monsignor Paul Martin. Escorting them on their visit were parishioners John and Ann Lawrence Baranek. Coach Forster guided the visitors through the school grounds and into the former nuns’ chapel, now the Kinder-garten Readiness classroom. The final visit was to the convent that now serves as the Mission administration building. Mission Exec-utive Director Mechelle Lawrence Adams took sister Paulea upstairs to her room, now an office. They all loved looking at yearbook photos from days of old. The group enjoyed lunch at their favorite San Juan Capistrano res-taurant, the El Adobe. It’s always a great day to be a Swallow!

`Nosotros, la comunidad Católica de la Misión Basílica San Juan Capistrano, un lugar de peregrinación y de paz,

fortalecidos por nuestra identidad sacramental como hermanos y hermanas en Cristo
nos regocijamos en vivir los valores del Evangelio de amor y justicia en nuestro servicio a los demás.
PREGUNTA DE REFLEXION DE LA SEMANA
Declaración de la Parroquia de la Misión
MENSAJE DE LA SEMANA: El domingo pasado se nos dio la “orden de salida”: iniciábamos la CUARESMA. Y nos poníamos en camino a la PASCUA y se nos proponía hacerlo siguiendo las huellas del mismo Jesús, puesto que también Él ha sentido la tentación de la duda, del cansancio, del poder, de lo fácil, del… Pero Él ha superado las tentaciones. Caminar con Él es una garantía para saber cómo superar esas situaciones. El camino seguido por Él fue: * “camino de disponibilidad ante el Padre”; * “camino de entrega y de generosidad” a la causa de Dios; * “camino de solidaridad” para con los hombres, sus hermanos. Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a mirar más profundamente para poder dar un vistazo a la realidad divi-na encerrada en “las cosas” ordinarias de la vida. Dios retó al anciano Abram y a su esposa a que dejaran su casa para ir “a la tierra que te mostraré”. Sus ojos verían la tierra, pero sólo Dios “podía” mostrarla como un don divino. Pablo recordó a Timoteo que la gracia de Dios siempre ha estado a nuestra disposición, pero que en Jesús se “manifestó”. Jesús invitó a Pedro, Santiago y Juan para que subieran al cerro y allí se “transfiguró” por un momento, y el resplandor de Dios brilló a través de él. Luego, con la misma rapidez, los tres miraron. . . y sólo vieron a Jesús. Durante la Cuaresma se nos invita a “mirar más allá” para ver la presencia de Dios en las cosas ordina-rias: ambulando por el supermercado, esperando en el tráfico, discutiendo con los hijos, limpiando la bañera. No tendríamos que “hacer” nada más si pudiéramos divisar el amor divino que nos apoya y nos sostiene. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CARTA DEL PASTOR
Queridos hermanos y hermanas, ¿Qué pasaría si Jesús llegara a la iglesia el próximo domingo? Imagínate, si él se apareciera en su vestimenta del primer siglo – su ropón, sandalias y barbas – y subiera al ambón y comenzara a hablar, ¿Qué harías? ¿Cómo reaccionarias? Sospecho y creo que sería una apuesta segura decir que todos tendríamos nuestros ojos fijos en él y nuestro oídos en alerta a cualquier palabra que él dijera. Claro que alguien probablemente estaría en su teléfono celular alertando a todos los medios de comunicación de este evento milagroso. Sin embargo, un acontecimiento así no debería de parecernos tan inusual. Aunque no se nos presente en vestimenta del primer siglo, Jesús llega cada domingo a hablarnos. Eso es lo que la tradición católica enseña- que cuando la Palabra de Dios es proclamada en nuestro medio, Cristo ha-bla con nosotros. Podríamos decir que viene disfrazado hablando a través de los lectores, diáconos y sacer-dotes que proclaman las lecturas. El Concilio Vaticano Segundo lo puso de esta manera en 1963: “{Cristo} está presente en su palabra ya que es Él mismo quien habla cuando se leen las sagradas escrituras en la igle-sia.” (CSL, #7) Esta es la tercera manera en la cual Cristo revela su presencia durante la Eucaristía. Cada vez que nos reunimos en su nombre, Cristo tiene algo que decirnos. La reverencia a Cristo presente en su palabra nos llama a escuchar atentamente. Formados durante la época cuando la santa misa era en latín y teníamos que leer, muchos católicos aún tienen el hábito de leer las lecturas que se están proclamando. La manera correcta es poner los libros a un lado y escuchar con los oídos abiertos y abrir nuestros corazones a lo que el Señor nos está diciendo. El escuchar no significa ser pasivo. Escuchar es realmente una respuesta activa cuando alguien nos habla. Mostramos respeto a la persona que nos habla al verla a los ojos y poner atención a lo que él o ella está diciendo. Requiere esfuerzo de nuestra parte el no permitir que distracciones externas y pensamien-tos se apoderen de nuestra atención. Sin embargo, es de provecho darse cuenta que nuestra tarea principal no es escuchar cada palabra que se habla sino escuchar atentamente cual es la palabra que el Señor tiene para cada uno de nosotros ese día. Esto puede variar de una persona a otra, pero Cristo ofrece a cada uno de nosotros el mensaje que en verdad necesitamos escuchar. Es buena idea leer las escrituras en casa antes de venir a misa, por eso es que la mayoría de las parroquias imprimen en su boletín las lecturas bíblicas de la semana. De esa manera ya saben cuáles son y pueden buscarlas. Así, cuando la Palabra de Dios sea proclamada permitirá que Cristo hable directamente mediante las lecturas y la homilía. Si eres tocado profundamente por una palabra, frase o idea cada domingo y si nutres esa palabra en tu corazón durante la semana entonces la palabra de Dios será efectiva en tu vida. En el silencio después de las lecturas y la homilía, te podrías hacer dos sencillas preguntas: ¿Qué es-cuché a Cristo decir? ¿Y cómo voy a vivir esa palabra en esta semana? ¡Las respuestas a estas preguntas pue-den cambiar tu vida! Comenzando esta semana especial en la cual honramos a San José, el miércoles 19 de Marzo, invo-quemos a este patrón de la muerte feliz por todos aquellos que han muerto recientemente. Que descansen en paz. Siempre adelante, Mons. Art
