Reflection Today’s parable reminds us that it isn’t what we say that counts as much as what we do.

How would someone know you are a Christian through your actions? How and when were you like each of the sons in the Gospel?

80 South Market Street, San José, CA 95113-2321 408-283-8100 www.stjosephcathedral.org ,

“Jesus said to the chief priests and elders of the people: ‘What is your opinion? A man had two sons.

He came to the first and said, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’

He said in reply, ‘I will not, ‘ but afterwards changed his mind and went.

The man came to the other son and gave the same order. He said in reply, “Yes, sir, ‘but did not go.

Which of the two did his father's will?’ They answered, ‘The first."

Jesus said to them, ‘Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes

are entering the kingdom of God before you. When John came to you in the way of righteousness,

you did not believe him; but tax collectors and prostitutes did.

Yet even when you saw that, you did not later change your minds and believe him.’”

Matthew 21: 28-32

Worship Prayer Support

Alabanza Oración Apoyo

October 1, 2017 Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Joseph Cathedral Basilica: Many of us grew up within a Catholic environment that stressed going to Mass on Sunday as a fundamental obli-gation for all Catholics. This no longer seems to be an adequate motivation to participate in Sunday Eucharist; indeed, the idea of participating in worship to fulfill an obligation seems uninspired. To consider different moti-vations for worship can likewise shift our expectation and even experiences of Sunday Mass. Any consideration of Sunday worship must begin with the experience of the early Church. After his death and resur-rection Jesus appears to his disciples. He appears to them in the upper room, on the road to Emmaus, and at the Sea of Galilee. Each of these appearances has similar charac-teristics. Each of them occurs on the first day of the week (Sunday, the day of the resurrection) and Jesus makes the same declaration, “Do not be afraid, it is I, peace be with you.” On the first day of the week the disciples experience the Risen Lord. They are challenged to relinquish their fears, to realize that He is with them, and that surrendering fear and realizing his presence brings peace. Within the context of these post-resurrection encounters with Jesus the disciples of Jesus would gather on the first day of the week and celebrate Eucharist. In the celebra-tion of Eucharist, they would hear the stories of Jesus, confront the challenges of their world in faith, and realize that He continued to be with them. This is the same context in which we gather for Eucharist. We too hear the stories of Jesus, confront the many chal-lenges of our world in faith, and perceive that God is with us. Consequently, we begin to recognize that the motiva-tion to gather on Sunday is not based on a sense of obliga-tion but rather expectation of an encounter with the Risen Lord. The Risen Lord is present to us through Sacred Scripture, Eucharist, and the community gathered in mutu-al care and common concern. This celebration, an hour of our week, is a privileged place to pray, enter community, and encounter Christ. This one hour is integral to our lives as disciples. Thank you for joining together this week in worship. Fr. Joseph M. Benedict, Pastor

Estimados Feligreses y amigos de la Catedral Basílica de San José:

Muchos crecimos en un ambiente que enfatizó la asisten-cia a la Misa del domingo como una obligación funda-mental. Esto ya no parece servir como motivación ade-cuada para participar en la Eucaristía Dominical; de he-cho, la idea de participar en la alabanza para cumplir con una obligación parece forzada. Contemplar diferentes motivaciones para la alabanza pudiera modificar nuestras expectativas y aun las experiencias en la Misa Dominical. Cualquier contemplación sobre la alabanza del Domingo debe verse desde los inicios de la Iglesia. Después de su muerte y resurrección, Jesús aparece a sus discípulos. Aparece en la habitación superior, por el camino a Emaús, y en el Mar de Galilea. Cada una de estas apariciones lle-va características semejantes. Cada una ocurre el primer día de la semana (Domingo, el día de la Resurrección) y Jesús declara lo mismo, “No tengan miedo, soy yo, la paz esté con ustedes.” El primer día de la semana los discípulos presencian al Señor Resucitado. Se les desafía a descartar sus miedos para darse cuenta que Él está con ellos y que al descartar el miedo y realizar su presencia trae paz. Dentro del contexto de estos encuentros post-resurrección con Jesús, los discípulos de Jesús se reunían el primer día de la semana y celebraban la Eucaristía. En la celebración de la Eucaristía compartían relatos de Jesús, enfrentaban los retos de su mundo con fe y se daban cuenta de que Él seguía con ellos. En este mismo contexto nos reunimos para la Eucaristía. Escuchamos relatos sobre Jesús, enfrentamos los retos del mundo con fe y percibimos que Dios está con nosotros. Por lo tanto, comenzamos a reconocer que el motivo por reunirnos en domingo no se basa en una obligación sino en la esperanza de un encuentro con el Señor Resucitado. El Señor Resucitado está presenta a nosotros mediante las Sagradas Escrituras, la Eucaristía y la comunidad congre-gada, unida por su mutuo afecto e interés común. Esta celebración, una hora de nuestra semana, es un lugar privilegiado para orar, entrar en comunidad y encontrar a Cristo. Es una hora íntegra a nuestras vidas como discípulos. Gracias por reunirse esta semana en alabanza. P. Joseph Benedict, Párroco

Christian Initiation

ONE HOUR of WORSHIP The celebration of Mass or the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life.” In-deed all of the Church’s life, ministries and works of the apostolate are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented towards it. The Eu-charist is our primordial act of thanksgiving to God. We gather in thanksgiving on the first day of the week, the day of Christ’s Resurrection. It is through this sublime act of worship that we en-counter Christ, the sole spiritual good of the Church, who reminded us, “Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give to you Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” [John 14:27] Each week as we gather as children of the Father by virtue of our own Baptism we continue to en-counter Christ in Word, Sacraments and Commu-nity. It is in this act of worship, in this Eucharist that we as a Church, the Body of Christ, are faithfully nourished by Jesus himself, the Son of God and given the blessing to live out his mission, to live in faith, in hope and in love as we are all blessed, broken and shared for others.

Jesus has entered Jerusalem and overturned the money changers’ tables in the Temple. Jesus has now caught the attention of the religious authorities; the chief priests and elders question Jesus about the source of his authority.

Jesus refuses to name for these religious leaders the source of his authority. Instead, he questions the priests and elders through the parable we hear in today’s Gospel. The answer given by the reli-gious leaders is correct, but it convicts them for their failure to heed the call of John the Baptist and for their inability to recognize the Kingdom of God. The situation Jesus poses is rather straightforward. Given the same task by their fa-ther, one son asserts his disobedience in words, but then obeys in his actions; the second son obeys with his words, but disobeys in his actions. The question that Jesus poses is pointed and di-rect: Which son did what the father wanted? All would agree that “actions speak louder than words” and that even if his words were disobedi-ent, the son who did the work as ordered did the father’s will. Jesus’ conclusion is also direct. The chief priests and elders, the ones who speak most often about God, did not act accordingly. They did not respond to the message of repentance an-nounced by John the Baptist with a change of heart. Instead, John’s message was heeded by those one would not expect to repent—tax collec-tors, prostitutes, and other sinners. Because of their actions, these sinners will enter the Kingdom of God ahead of the religious leaders. Jesus could ask us the same question. Do our words indicate our obedience to God? If not our words, do our actions? God desires a full conversion of heart, that our actions (and our words as well) will give evidence of our love for God. - Loyola Press

S aint of the Week Theodora Guérin October 2, 1798 – May 14, 1856 Trust in God’s Providence enabled Mother Theo-

dore to leave her homeland, sail halfway around the world, and found a new religious congregation. Born in Étables, France, Anne-Thérèse Guerin’s life was shattered by her father’s murder when she was 15. For sev-eral years, she cared for her mother and younger sister. She entered the Sisters of Providence in 1823, taking the name Sister Saint Theodore. An illness during novitiate left her with lifelong fragile health, but that did not keep her from becoming an accomplished teacher. At the invitation of the bishop of Vincennes, Indiana, she and five sisters were sent in 1840 to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, to teach and to care for the sick poor. She was to establish a motherhouse and novitiate. Only later did she learn that her French superiors had already decided the sisters in the United States should form a new religious congregation under her leadership. She and her community persevered despite fires, crop fail-ures, prejudice against Catholic women religious, misun-derstandings, and separation from their original religious congregation. She once told her sisters, “Have confidence in the Providence that so far has never failed us. The way is not yet clear. Grope along slowly. Do not press matters; be patient, be trustful.” Another time, she asked, “With Jesus, what shall we have to fear?” She is buried in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, and was beatified in 1998. Eight years later, she was canonized. Reflection God’s work gets done by people ready to take risks and to work hard—always remembering what Saint Paul told the Corinthians, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.” Every holy person has a strong sense of God’s Providence.

S anta de la Semana Teodora Guérin Octubre 2, 1798 - Mayo 14, 1856

Confiando en la Providencia de Dios permitió a la Madre Teodora a dejar su pueblo natal, navegar alrededor de me-dio mundo e inaugurar una nueva congregación religiosa. Nacida en Étables, Francia, la vida de Anne-Thérèse Guérin fue hecha a pedazos con el asesinato de su padre cuando ella tenía 15 años. Por varios años, cuidó a su ma-

dre y hermanita. Ingresó a las Hermanas de la Providencia en 1823, tomando el nombre Hermana San Teodoro. Una enfermedad durante su noviciado la dejó con la salud delicada pero esto no la impidió de volverse en una maestra cumplida. Invitada por el obispo de Vincennes, India-na, ella y cinco hermanas fueron enviadas en 1840 a Santa-María-del-Bosque, Indiana a enseñar y cuidar a los enfermos pobres.

Hasta después supo que sus superiores Francesas ya habían decidido que las hermanas en los EEUU debían formar una nueva congregación religiosa bajo su liderazgo. Ella y su comunidad perseveraron a pesar de los incendios, las cosechas fracasadas, el prejuicio en contra de las muje-res religiosas, los malentendidos y la separación de su con-gregación original religiosa. Una vez le comentó a sus her-manas, “Confíen en la Providencia que hasta ahora, no nos ha fallado. El camino aun no es claro. Hay que tentarle des-pacio. No presionen los asuntos; tengan paciencia y con-fianza.” Otra vez, pregunto, “Con Jesús, ¿qué hemos de temer?” Está enterrada en la Iglesia de la Inmaculada Concepción en Santa-María-de-los-Bosques en Indiana y fue beatifica-da en 1998. A los ocho años, fue canonizada. Reflexión: La obra de Dios es cumplida por personas que se arriesgan y trabajan duro - siempre recordando lo que San Pablo les dijo a los Corintios, “Yo planté, Apolo regó pero Dios hizo crecer.” Cada persona santa tiene un fuerte sentido de la Providencia.

Discover the keys to the mystery of love and relation-ships! The Dominican cloistered nuns of Corpus Christi Monastery and guest Jim Brady will unravel this mystery

in a five-session series based on the groundbreaking “Love and Responsibility” by Karol Wojtyla (Saint John Paul II). Some of the issues to be addressed include: What makes a true friendship? How does attraction lead to either selfless love or a relationship in which someone is being used? How do I know if I am in a relationship of authentic love or just another relationship doomed to failure? If eve-ryone is made for spousal love, how is this desire recon-ciled with vocations to the priesthood, religious life or ded-icated singlehood? …and more!
