Sing praise to the L
with the harp,
with the harp and melodious song.
— Psalm 98:5
GOD’S HEALING JUSTICE
An old expression holds that the sun-warmed stone
heals. Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only dark, sunless days are in store for those who do not find a place
for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells us that the
warmth and light of God’s healing justice await those
who fear the Lord. That’s a pretty comforting notion—
especially now in the already short and growing even
shorter days of November. It’s the sun-warmed stone,
and then some.
Paul speaks to us of justice as well, but points out
that it is not a passive thing. To be treated justly, we need
to do our fair share. If we are diligent and persevere we
will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our labor. Lastly, Luke, too, tells us to persevere—in faith, this time—
and our lives will be secure in God regardless of how we
are treated by our enemies.

DID YOU KNOW?
Bullying prevention starts at home
From cyberbullying to name-calling and exclusion,
bullying can affect people of every age, especially
kids and teens in school. Their peers can be cruel, so
it’s important to talk about how to handle bullies,
especially before a situation escalates. One way to
stop the cycle of bullying in its tracks, is to teach
kids to speak kindly to others and to treat everyone
around them with respect. For more information,
please visit https://www.faithandsafety.org/bullying.
¿SABÍA USTED?
La prevención del acoso “bullying” comienza en
casa
Desde el acoso cibernético, poner apodos y la exclusión, el acoso o “bullying” puede afectar a las personas de todas las edades, especialmente a niños y
adolescentes que asisten a la escuela. Sus compañeros pueden ser crueles, de manera que es importante platicar con ellos sobre cómo manejar a los
acosadores, especialmente antes que la situación
escale. Una manera de detener el ciclo de acoso es
enseñar a los niños a hablar con gentileza con otros y
a tratar con respeto a todos a su alrededor. Para más
información, por favor visite https://

LORD'S TABLE NEEDS YOUR HELP
Every Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m., we serve a hot meal to
those in need at the Holy Cross
Chapel located on the corner
of Everett and Magnolia. There are no groups
signed up to prepare and help
serve for the month of November. This is a great opportunity for small church groups,
Scouts, etc. to lend a helping
hand. Contact Chris Johnson
at (805) 402-0506 to reserve
your Tuesday.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
With Thanksgiving approaching, we think of the quest of
the Puritans who arrived on the Mayflower from their first exile in Leyden, Holland. Like the Catholics of England, they
were religious dissenters who suffered penalties for not participating in the worship life of the established church. The Catholics established monasteries, schools, and convents on the continent to assure the vigor of their faith’s intellectual and spiritual life. The Puritans fled to the tolerant Netherlands with
similar hopes of preserving their way of life, but were unable
to adapt to Dutch ways.
There were Catholics who made a similar colonial journey. The hero of the story is George Calvert, Lord Baltimore,
the former Secretary of State of Britain and a Catholic. He
proposed that King Charles I establish a proprietary colony
that he would own and rule, named Maryland in honor of the
Catholic Queen Henrietta Maria. George Calvert died unexpectedly in the midst of this project, but his son Cecil faithfully
carried out his father’s wishes. Maryland became a symbol of
freedom for wealthy recusant English families, as well as for
the poor who held to the Catholic faith despite great hardship.
From the start, the colony was open to Protestants and Catholics equally, and the seeds of the religious freedom so dear to
the American spirit were sown with the first colonists in 1634.

Toquen la cítara para el Señor,
suenen los instrumentos.
— Salmo 98 (97):5
LA JUSTICIA SANADORA DE DIOS
Una antigua expresión sostiene que las piedras calentadas por el sol curan. Tal vez. Pero el profeta Malaquías
explica que a aquellos que no encuentran un lugar para
Dios en sus vidas sólo le esperan días oscuros, sin sol. El
profeta nos dice que, a la inversa, el afecto y la luz de la
justicia sanadora de Dios aguardan a aquellos que temen
al Señor. Esa es una noción bastante consoladora –
especialmente ahora durante los días breves, cada vez
más breves, de noviembre. Es la piedra calentada por el
sol, y mucho más.
Pablo, igualmente, nos habla de justicia pero señala
que esta no es algo pasivo. Para ser tratados con justicia,
debemos aportar nuestra parte. Si somos diligentes y perseveramos, seremos recompensados con y por los frutos
de nuestra labor. Finalmente, Lucas también nos llama a
perseverar –en la fe, esta vez– y nos dice que nuestras
vidas estarán aseguradas en Dios no importa cómo nos
traten nuestros enemigos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1769 los franciscanos bajo la dirección de fray Junípero
Serra alzaron una cruz en Alta California, dedicando la primera
misión en la zona a san Diego de Alcalá. Diego, cuya fiesta es
el 13 de noviembre, fue un franciscano del siglo XV. Este santo
español nunca fue sacerdote, prefiriendo servir a Dios como
hermano lego (laico) ayudando a los pobres y cuidando a los
enfermos.
Siempre fue un humilde servidor de los demás. Aun cuando lo hicieron guardián (líder franciscano) nunca dejo de servir
a los pobres, los enfermos y a sus hermanos franciscanos. Su
afán por dar a los pobres las cosas del convento lo llevaba a
esconder sus donaciones en su manto. Una vez un hermano le
preguntó que escondía y el mintiendo respondió: “rosas”. El
hermano insistió verlas y en lugar de la comida que llevaba a
los pobres, aparecieron rosas y más rosas. La santidad del patrón de San Diego, California se apoya sobre tres pilares: 1)
solidaridad con los más necesitados, 2) devoción a Cristo crucificado y 3) evangelizar en unión con la Iglesia.
—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
La colecta de la próxima semana para la Campaña
Católica para el Desarrollo Humano (CCHD) necesita su
ayuda. CCHD fue fundada para romper el ciclo de
pobreza en los Estados Unidos otorgando fondos a organizaciones que ayudan a las personas a ayudarse a sí
mismas. Con su tradición de mejoras en la educación, en
la vivienda y en el desarrollo económico de las comunidades, CCHD continúa teniendo un impacto positivo en
las comunidades en todo el país. Su contribución servirá
para defender la dignidad humana y llegar a todos los
que viven al margen. Por favor, contribuya a la colecta
para CCHD.
