Catholic spiritual tradition is always challenged by many secular and non-Christian groups. Several so called spiritual movements were started aimed at offsetting Christian traditions and spiritual influences that have a lasting impact on the lives of believers. Many such movements confuse the young minds and dissuade them from adhering to the catholic beliefs and practices. Such movements have very attractive philosophies that are appealing to young minds. Their approach and conquest are in progressive steps.

First they will find intelligent and active kids from known families. Introduce them to well behaved and smart friends from their own peer group who have already accepted the movement and its beliefs. They create a friendship circle when no ideology will be introduced until the group is well knit. During this process of forming the group the new ideology will be introduced step by step which the kids will not resist.

The targeted kids already have a lurking dislike for their parents’ discipline or religious practices and affiliations. This accelerates their affinity with the new group. The second step is to widen this rift with parental discipline and the kid’s assertive independence. This is positively correlated with their deepening loyalty with the new group.

There are two consequences. Many a time average parents are unaware of what is happening to their child due to a blind belief that everything goes well because they meet every need and satisfy every desire of their child. Kids are so smart to play the game to keep their new ventures from parental scrutiny. Some parents become very rigid that will lead to disturbing family atmosphere and frequent parent-child conflicts at home, most often ends in unresolved alienations. The second effect is that some parents stay out of their child’s ways due to the fear that it will create conflict with them but grieve deep inside.

Many parents try to connect their affected children with priests and religious with the hope of getting some help which they could not provide. Many such personnel are not equipped to deal with these influences, professionally and amicably.

It used to be in colleges that such ideologies conquer young minds. Now this has moved to high schools and even middle school level. One such attractive influence is the New Age movement which has many nuances appealing to kids of different persuasions.

One major cause is that their Catholic Faith was shallow and superficial. Parents failed to provide convincing rational and promote a deep rooted devotion to and personal intimacy with Jesus as they were growing up. Faith has to be personalized. Impersonal practices will fly off when challenged. Every family needs devotions, prayers, and convincing dialogue with children that will promote a religion from the heart that will stand against all odds of life. God bless you all.

From the Pastor’s Desk / Del Escritorio del Padre

La tradición espiritual católica siempre es desafiada por muchos grupos seculares y no cristianos. Varios movimientos llamados espirituales se iniciaron con el objetivo de compensar las tradiciones cristianas y las influencias espirituales que tienen un impacto duradero en las vidas de los creyentes. Muchos de estos movimientos confunden las mentes jóvenes y los disuaden de adherirse a las creencias y prácticas católicas. Tales movimientos tienen filosofías muy atractivas que atraen a las mentes jóvenes. Su enfoque y conquista están en pasos progresivos.

Primero encontrarán niños inteligentes y activos de familias conocidas. Presénteles a amigos inteligentes y bien educados de su propio grupo de pares que ya hayan aceptado el movimiento y sus creencias. Crean un círculo de amistad cuando no se presentará ninguna ideología hasta que el grupo esté bien entretejido. Durante este proceso de formación del grupo, la nueva ideología se presentará paso a paso para que los niños no se resistan.

Los niños seleccionados ya tienen una antipatía acechante por la disciplina de sus padres o sus prácticas y afiliaciones religiosas. Esto acelera su afinidad con el nuevo grupo. El segundo paso es ampliar esta brecha con la disciplina de los padres y la independencia asertiva del niño. Esto se correlaciona positivamente con su lealtad cada vez mayor con el nuevo grupo.

Hay dos consecuencias Muchas veces los padres promedio no están conscientes de lo que le está sucediendo a sus hijos debido a la creencia ciega de que todo va bien porque satisfacen todas las necesidades y satisfacen todos los deseos de sus hijos. Los niños son tan inteligentes para jugar el juego como para mantener sus nuevas empresas fuera del control de los padres. Algunos padres se vuelven muy rígidos, lo que provocará un ambiente familiar perturbador y frecuentes conflictos entre padres e hijos en el hogar, lo que a menudo termina en enajenaciones no resueltas. El segundo efecto es que algunos padres se mantienen alejados de las formas de sus hijos debido al temor de que genere conflictos con ellos, pero se afligen profundamente en su interior.

Muchos padres intentan conectar a sus hijos afectados con sacerdotes y religiosos con la esperanza de obtener algo de ayuda que no pudieron proporcionar. Muchos de esos empleados no están equipados para enfrentar estas influencias de manera profesional y amistosa.

Solía ser en los colegios que tales ideologías conquistan las mentes jóvenes. Ahora esto se ha trasladado a las escuelas secundarias e incluso al nivel de escuela intermedia. Una de esas influencias atractivas es el movimiento de la Nueva Era, que tiene muchos matices que atraen a los niños de diferentes convicciones.

Una causa importante es que su fe católica era superficial y superficial. Los padres no proporcionaron una racionalidad convincente y promovieron una devoción profundamente arraigada y una intimidad personal con Jesús mientras crecían. La fe tiene que ser personalizada. Las prácticas impersonales saldrán volando cuando sean desafiadas. Toda familia necesita devociones, oraciones y un diálogo convincente con los niños que promueva una religión desde el corazón que vaya en contra de todas las probabilidades de la vida. Dios los bendiga a todos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Mañana celebramos la fiesta de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, reconocida en Chile como Maipú. Chile es un país con mucha industria marinera y la Virgen del Carmen es la patrona de los marineros por el peligro al cual se exponen en el mar.

Los frailes Carmelitas han difundido la devoción a la Virgen del monte Carmelo desde el siglo XIII. En aquella época María regaló el escapulario al general de los Carmelitas, Simón Stock, prometiendo que todos los que lo usasen serían recibidos por ella en el cielo, evitando así el infierno. Con el tiempo el escapulario Carmelitano se modificó para uso de todo cristiano. Por esto ella es patrona de todo oficio que tiene peligro de muerte como el de los soldados, camioneros, pilotos, troqueros, etc.

Por entender el escapulario como algo mágico, Nuestra Señora del Carmen ha sido tomada como patrona de los pandilleros porque viven en peligro de ser matados en sus riñas callejeras. Piensan que llevar puesto el escapulario es lo necesario para evitar el infierno e ignoran que usar el escapulario es vivir como María, en paz y al servicio de los demás. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION At the time of the Reformation, although England broke away from papal authority under Henry VIII, a silent majority clung to the Catholic faith. Henry’s eldest daughter, Mary, restored the “old religion” in a fierce persecution of Protestants (she is called “Bloody Mary” for good reason.) His youngest daughter, Elizabeth, rejected papal ties. Under her reign, beginning with legislation in 1593, Catholics were persecuted again, and only the very wealthy could afford the fines for not attending Anglican services on Sunday. They were called “recusants,” from a Latin word meaning “refuse,” since they refused to attend the liturgy of the Church of England. Many families maintained Catholic tradition in secret, and today their descendants claim “Recusancy” as a mark of family pride. For generations they sent their young people abroad to be educated in convents and monasteries. It is not surprising that the first monastery in colonial America springs from Holland with the daughters of patrician English recusant families. Port Tobacco, Maryland, proved fruitful soil for the Carmelite tradition. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CALLED BY GOD

Today’s scriptures invite us to listen to two calls. The first is the call issued by the L to the prophet Amos, the “shepherd and a dresser of sycamores” (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out “two by two” (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we were bap zed. The second reading invites us to ponder that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in Christ and that, in love, God “des ned us for adop on” (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once again through God’s living word. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LLAMADOS POR DIOS Las lecturas de hoy nos invitan a escuchar dos llamados. El primero es el llamado del Señor al profeta Amós, el “pastor y cul vador de higos” (Amós 7:14). El segundo es el llamado del Señor Jesús a los Doce, a quienes envió “de dos en dos” (Marcos 6:7). Estas personas fieles respondieron al llamado, profe zaron y predicaron a aquellos a quienes habían sido enviados. En el Bau smo, cada uno de nosotros recibió un llamado. La segunda lectura nos invita a reflexionar sobre ese llamado ya que se nos recuerda que hemos sido elegidos en Cristo y que, por amor, Dios “nos eligió... para que fuéramos sus hijos” (Efesios 1:5). Por ser hijos adop vos de Dios se nos llama a llevar la presencia de Cristo a nuestro matrimonio, familiares, escuelas y si os de trabajo. Sintámonos inspirados a decir “sí” hoy al llamado que escuchamos una vez más en la palabra viva de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

GOD IN ALL / DIOS EN TODO In everything, be it a thing sensed, or a thing known, God is

hidden within. En todo lo que sentimos y en todo lo que sabemos, Dios está

escondido. —St. Bonaventure/—San Buenaventura
