Worship Aid 1. Mighty to Save Feb. 2, 2020

Ev’ryone needs compassion, love that’s never failing. Let mercy fall on me. Ev’ryone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior, the hope of na ons.

Savior: he can move the mountains. My God is mighty to save; he is mighty to save!

Forever, author of salva on: he rose and conquered the grave; Jesus conquered the grave!

So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures. Fill my life again. I give my life to follow ev’rything I believe in. Now I surrender.

4. Unwavering

Blessed are the poor; the kingdom is theirs; alive in the promise to be dead to the world.

Blessed are the meek in awe of You, Father. The Word at Your right hand, the Spirit of truth.

Unwavering is Your voice. Unwavering is Your hand. Unwavering is the heart that bled for the sins of man.

Unwavering is Your will. Unwavering is Your plan. The font of salva on on which we will stand.

Blessed are the righteous on bended knee bound in this freedom, commi ed to You. Blessed are those who see the heights of glory found in the valley in suff’ring for You.

6. No Greater Love

For the city, for the world we pray; let Your light shine down, come around and live in us. For the close and the far away; ev’rywhere, You are ev’rywhere.

And we li high the banner of the cross, there is no greater love than this, no love but this.

Jesus Christ laid down His life for us, there is no greater love than His, no love but His.

To the city, to the world we go; set us free, heal the land You have promised, God, You can. To the last and the least we go. Ev’rywhere, You are ev’rywhere.

(bridge)

In the poor, in the broken, in the crowded city streets, in the towers, in the money; in the strong and in the weak;

In the orphans and the widows, in the churches and afar You are ev’rywhere, God, You are ev’rywhere.

Pas t o ra l Le t t e r

My family joined St. Joseph Parish in 1976. Charlie and I served as volunteers in the Confirmation program; our children all graduated from our parish school. Given the opportunity to join the parish staff in 1981, I enjoyed the trust and encouragement of several pastors who assigned me to positions in Religious Education, Liturgy, and Volunteer Coordination. Administrative responsibilities were added over the years. I have appreciated the giving hearts and hands of many of you who took a risk to help animate and enrich our family of faith. The parish grew and ministry flourished. Now, with lower attendance, declining contributions, and diocesan needs, our parish is required to downsize our large pastoral and office staff. My staff position was eliminated on January 31st. Our challenge now is to strengthen our volunteer teams to provide assistance to our remaining staff members who must take on more responsibilities.

So, you ask “What can I do to help my parish family?”

Find an activity within the parish

to join and support.

Use your gifts to help make our parish thrive!

How can your gifts and talents serve the Church in powerful ways?

Answer the call to give of time, talent and treasure.

There is no hope if it all depends on one person.

But, if we work together –

well that’s a different story – isn’t it?

What Was, Is, and Will Be depends on all of us.

¿Deseas Crecer Espiritualmente?

La dirección espiritual te ayuda a acercarte más a Dios en tu vida cotidiana, en tus rela-ciones con los demás y en tus decisiones diari-as. Nuestra parroquia tiene un director espir-itual bilingüe para guiarlos en su propio viaje espiritual. Ponte en contacto para hacer tu cita o obtener más información sobre este recurso. Dr. Rubén Barron 714 321-4827 rsbarron3@gmail.com

La presentación del Señor—2 de febrero de 2020 Personas que entran en nuestra vida, tienen algo que enseñarnos. Pero puede que no lo sepamos en ese momento. Esto les sucedió a María y José cuando presentaron a Jesús en el Templo de Jerusalén. Simeón, un "hombre justo" estaba allí y proclamó el significado del nacimiento de Jesús. Piensa en las actividades de tu día y considera cómo Dios coloca a personas en tu camino como testimonio de su sagrado amor. Recuerda lo que escuchas, lo que ves y lo que experimentas durante el día que estuvo lleno de bondad, verdad y belleza, porque esto viene de Dios. Así como Simeón reconoció a Jesús por su misión sagrada, incluso cuando era un bebé, piensa en tus varios papeles y en cómo eres bendecido para cumplirlos con gracia. Ora para vivir con dignidad y humildad y ser valiente. Dr. Ruben Barron, Director Espiritual rsbarron3@gmail.com, 714 321-4827
