Fourth Sunday of Lent
March 15, 201
PASTOR’S CORNER
Prayer is the Light of the Spirit
Prayer and converse with God is a supreme good: it is a partnership and union with God. As the eyes of the body are enlightened when
they see light, so our spirit, when it is intent on God, is illuminated by His
infinite light. I do not mean the prayer of outward observance but prayer
from the heart, not confined to fixed times or periods but continuous
throughout the day and night.
Our spirit should be quick to reach out toward God, not only when
it is engaged in meditation; at other times also, when it is carrying out its
duties, caring for the needy, performing works of charity, giving generously in the service of others, our spirit should long for God and call Him
to mind, so that these works may be seasoned with the salt of God’s love,
and so make a palatable offering to the Lord of the universe. Throughout
the whole of our lives we may enjoy the benefit that comes from prayer if
we devote a great deal of time to it.
Prayer is the light of the spirit, true knowledge of God, mediating
between God and man. The spirit, raised up to heaven by prayer, clings
to God with the utmost tenderness; like a child crying tearfully for its mother, it craves the milk that God provides.
It seeks the satisfaction of its own desires, and receives gifts outweighing the whole world of nature.
Prayer stands before God as an honored ambassador. It gives joy to the spirit, peace to the heart. I speak of
prayer, not words. It is the longing for God, love too deep for words, a gift not given by man but by God’s grace.
The apostle Paul says: “We do not know how we are to pray but the Spirit himself pleads for us with inexpressible
longings.”
When the Lord gives this kind of prayer to a man, He gives him riches that cannot be taken away, heavenly
food that satisfies the spirit. One who tastes this food is set on fire with an eternal longing for the Lord: His spirit
burns as in a fire of the utmost intensity.
Practice prayer from the beginning. Paint your house with the colors of modesty and humility. Make it radiant with the light of justice. Decorate it with the finest gold leaf of good deeds. Adorn it with the walls and stones
of faith and generosity. Crown it with the pinnacle of prayer. In this way you will make it a perfect dwelling place
for the Lord. You will be able to receive Him as in a splendid place, and through His grace you will already possess
Him, His image enthroned in the temple of your spirit. (From a Homily by St. John Chrysostom, bishop)
*****************
Symbols of the Season
Ashes: Made from palm leaves of the previous year, ashes can remind us both of the baptismal and
penitential character of Lent. They not only represent our own mortality and utter dependence on God but also
symbolize our efforts of dying to sin (and rising to new life in Christ.)
Fish: As a Lenten symbol, fish stands for the obligation to fast on Ash Wednesday and `
Good Friday and abstain from meat on other Fridays of the season.
*******************
Barren Stones: They call to mind the desert and Jesus’ testing by the devil there.
Violet (Deep Purple): Violet is the liturgical color of the season and symbolizes its repentant character, as
well as Christ as the king of the world. Deep purple was a color reserved for royalty in Jesus’ time).
God Bless you!

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations: Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of
San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their
work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests,
deacons and religious should result in a holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are
furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1
Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

Elect & Candidates who will
be receiving the Sacraments of
Initiation at the Easter Vigil this
year! This weekend at the 7:30
am Mass we celebrated the 2nd
of 3 Scrutiny Rites with the
Elect - those to be baptized. The Scrutiny is a solemn
Rite meant to uncover and heal all that is weak; and to
bring out, then strengthen all that is upright, strong, and
good. For the scrutinies are celebrated in order to deliver
the elect from the power of sin and Satan, to protect them
against temptation, and to give them strength in Christ,
who is the way, the truth, and the life.
GOOD FRIDAY - April 3, 2015

School Youth from 9:00 am-5:30 pm. All High School
Youth are welcome, but those preparing to receive the
Sacrament of Confirmation are expected to participate.

Esquina del Pastor
Oración es la luz del Espíritu
Oración y conversar con Dios es un bien supremo: es una asociación y unión
con Dios. Como los ojos del cuerpo son iluminados cuando se vean la luz, de
modo que nuestro espíritu, cuando se tiene la intención de Dios, es iluminado
por la luz infinita. No me refiero a la oración de respeto hacia afuera pero en la
oración del corazón, no se limitan a horas fijas o períodos pero continua durante
todo el día y la noche.
Nuestro espíritu debe ser el rápido para llegar a Dios, no sólo en lo que
se dedica a la meditación; en otras ocasiones también, cuando se está llevando a
cabo sus funciones, y el cuidado de los necesitados, las obras de caridad, dando
generosamente al servicio de los demás, nuestro espíritu debe anciar a Dios y
llamar a la mente, a fin de que estos trabajos pueden ser sazonadas con la sal del amor de Dios, y por lo que es
agradable al Señor del universo. En el conjunto de nuestra vida podemos disfrutar de los beneficios que viene de la
oración si dedicamos mucho tiempo a ella.
Oración es la luz del espíritu, el verdadero conocimiento de Dios, mediadora entre Dios y el hombre. El espíritu, al cielo en la oración, se aferra a Dios con la máxima sensibilidad, como un niño llorando desconsoladamente a
su madre, que tiene antojo la leche que Dios provee. Su objetivo es la satisfacción de sus propios deseos y recibe
dones sobrepasar todo el mundo de la naturaleza.
Oración ante Dios como un honor el embajador. Da alegría al espíritu, la paz en el corazón. Hablo de la
oración, no de las palabras. Es el anhelo de Dios, de amor muy profundo de las palabras, un don no dado por hombre,
sino por la gracia de Dios. El apóstol Pablo dice: "no sabemos cómo vamos a orar, pero el Espíritu mismo ruega por
nosotros con inefable anhelos".
Cuando el Señor le da a este tipo de oración a un hombre, le da riquezas que no pueden ser suprimidos,
comida celestial que satisface el espíritu. Quien sabe este alimento es incendido con un anhelo eterno del Señor: Su
espíritu arde en un incendio de la máxima intensidad.
Prácticar oración desde el principio. Pintar tu casa con los colores de la modestia y la humildad. Que radiante
con la luz de la justicia. Decorar con las mejores hojas de oro de las buenas acciones. Adornamos con las paredes y
piedras de fe y generosidad. Coronar con pináculo de la oración. De esta forma, se convierten en un excelente lugar
de morada para el Señor. Usted será capaz de recibirlo como en un lugar espléndido, y a través de Su gracia, ya
poseen, Su Imagen entronizada en el templo de tu espíritu. (De una homilía de San Juan Crisóstomo, obispo)
*****************
Los símbolos de la Temporada
Cenizas: Hechos de hojas de palma de el año anterior, las cenizas pueden recordarnos de la pila bautismal y el
character penitencial de la Cuaresma. No sólo representan a nuestra propia mortalidad y la absoluta dependencia de
Dios, sino que también simboliza nuestros esfuerzos de morir al pecado (y creciente a la vida nueva en Cristo.)
Peces: Como un símbolo cuaresmal, el pescado representa la obligación de ayunar el Miércoles de Ceniza y el
Viernes Santo y abstenerse de la carne en los viernes de la temporada.
*****************
Piedras Yermas: Llaman a la mente el desierto y las pruebas de Jesús por el diablo.
Violeta (Morado Oscuro): Violeta es el color de la temporada y simboliza el carácter de arrepentimiento,
así como Cristo, como rey del mundo. Morado oscuro es un color reservado para la realeza en tiempos de
Jesús

REZO PARA SACERDOTES....Jesús, reza por tu sacerdote fiel y ferviente; Por tus sacerdotes infieles y tibios; Por tus sacerdotes que trabajan en casa o en un pais
extranjero y en misiónes distantes. Por tu sacerdote tentado; Por tus sacerdotes solos y solitarios; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes agonizantes; por las
almas de tus sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones:
Jesús de la coseha, mira con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón
semejante al tuyo. María, Madre de la Iglesia, intercede por nosotros.

respete nuestra tradición cristiana. VCPUSD no tiene
escuela en la mañana del Viernes Santo para que
nuestros jóvenes tengan la oportunidad de observar este día santo.
Vamos a tener un buen Viernes día de retiro para los Jóvenes de la
Escuela Secundaria de 9:00 a.m. a 17:30 Los jóvenes de la Escuela
Secundaria son bienvenidos, pero quienes se preparan a recibir el
TIEMPO DE CUARESMA: Horarios del Via Crucis Durante la
Cuaresma rezaremos el Via Crucis Todos los domingos en español
después de la Misa de 11:00am También se rezará el Via Crucis en
Inglés los Viernes Después de la Misa de 5:30pm ¡Ánimo!
Aprovechemos este tiempo para tener un encuentro más Íntimo con Cristo.
