Pastor’s CornerPastor’s CornerPastor’s Corner Rincón del PastorRincón del PastorRincón del Pastor A few years ago I was out to dinner with some friends when one of them spotted singer Dolly Parton at another table. Towards the end of our dinner one of my friends got up to go and say hello to Dolly. A few minutes later he returned with Dolly to our table. She asked, “Who’s the priest?” I turned several shades of red and said, “that would be me.” She said, “Well, I need to give you a hug.” I will never forget that moment as well as that hug! Dolly was probably not thinking about today’s Gospel when she said “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” In the first parable today the farmer planted good wheat in his fields. His enemy tried to sabotage the crop by sowing weeds in the fields. The wise farmer decided to put up with the weeds until the harvest. Then he had the weeds removed. Afterward, with full barns he enjoyed the “rainbow” of the good har-vest. The Gospel teaches us that at the end of the world the evildoers will be hurled into the fiery furnace. The saints will shine like the sun in their Father’s kingdom. What might be the meaning today as we listen again to the familiar words of the parables of the wheat and the weeds, the mustard seed, and the leaven? All three para-bles speak of a slow, silent growth. Almost in secret, wheat and mustard seeds planted in the ground crack open to allow a sprout of new life to take hold in the soil. By the time the tiniest green shoot is visible to a pass-ing human, a vast system of roots has already firmly es-tablished itself below ground. Nourished by the roots the plant grows and grows. Day by day transforming itself into something that can bring forth fruit and offer shelter. What might this everyday transformation tell us about the kingdom of heaven’s silent growth in the here and now? The vast majority of Jesus parables deal with everyday occurrence of the people of his time. He was painting a picture for them with subject matter that they knew and had experienced already. Instead of pointing out the fan-tastical, Jesus calls attention to reality. As he tells the crowds in Luke’s Gospel, “the kingdom of God is among you.” In order to live in this kingdom, we need only our eyes to see it and ears to hear. To enter into a parable, one must be willing to let go of the security offered by answers and definitions. What might we discover if we dare to open ourselves to the in-comprehensible mystery of the kingdom of heaven? Per-haps like the seeds of mustard and wheat, we will also experience transformation. The only way to find out is to trust Jesus, the parable of the teller, as he gently calls us to become “parable people.” As parable people we are called to scatter the Good News of the Gospel to others. How, first by the good ex-amples that we set before others as well as a willingness to share our faith. By living and sharing our faith others might become interested in knowing more. Do you know someone like that? Might they want to learn more about our faith and possibly join the Catholic Church? Please direct them to our RCIA program which will be starting soon. Please contact Jazmir Fajardo, RCIA Coordinator, through our parish office. I hope and pray that you are all having a wonderful summer season. Father Michael Rocha

Hace unos años salí a cenar con algunos amigos cuando uno de ellos vio a la cantante Dolly Parton en otra mesa. Hacia el final de nuestra cena uno de mis amigos se levantó para ir a saludar a Dolly. Unos minutos más tarde regresó con Dolly a la mesa. Ella preguntó: "¿Quién es el sacerdo-te?" Me sonrojé en varios tonos de rojo y dije, "eso sería yo." Ella dijo, "Bueno, necesito darte un abrazo." ¡Nunca olvidaré ese momento ni ese abrazo! Dolly probablemente no estaba pensando en el Evange-lio de hoy cuando dijo "De la manera que lo veo, si quieres el arco iris, tienes que soportar la lluvia". En la primera parábola hoy el agricultor plantó trigo bueno en sus cam-pos. Su enemigo intentó sabotear la cosecha sembrando cizaña en los campos. El sabio granjero decidió aguantar la cizaña hasta la cosecha. Luego quitó la cizaña. Después, con los graneros llenos, gozó del "arco iris" de la buena cosecha. El Evangelio nos enseña que en el fin del mundo los malhechores serán arrojados al horno ardiente. Los santos brillarán como el sol en el reino de su Padre. ¿Cuál podría ser el significado hoy cuando escuchamos nuevamente las palabras familiares de las parábolas del trigo y la cizaña, la semilla de mostaza y la levadura? Las tres parábolas hablan de un crecimiento lento y silencioso. Casi en secreto, semillas de trigo y mostaza sembradas en el suelo se abren para permitir que un brote de nueva vida se apodere del suelo. Cuando el más pequeño brote verde es visible para un humano que pasa, un vasto sistema de raíces ya se ha esta-blecido firmemente bajo tierra. Alimentada por las raíces, la planta crece y crece. Día a día transformándose en algo que puede dar fruto y ofrecer refugio. ¿Qué nos podría de-cir esta transformación cotidiana del crecimiento silencioso del reino de los cielos aquí y ahora? La gran mayoría de las parábolas de Jesús se ocupan de la ocurrencia cotidiana de la gente de su tiempo. Él estaba pintando un cuadro para ellos con el tema que conocían y habían experimentado ya. En lugar de señalar lo fantástico, Jesús llama la atención a la realidad. Como dice a las mul-titudes en el Evangelio de Lucas, "el reino de Dios está entre ustedes". Para vivir en este reino, necesitamos sólo nuestros ojos para verlo y oídos para oírlo. Para entrar en una parábola, uno debe estar dispuesto a soltar la seguridad ofrecida por las respuestas y definicio-nes. ¿Qué podríamos descubrir si nos atrevemos a abrirnos al incomprensible misterio del reino de los cielos? Tal vez como las semillas de mostaza y trigo, también experimen-taremos una transformación. La única manera de averiguar-lo es confiar en Jesús, el que relata las parábolas, cuando él nos llama suavemente a convertirnos en "personas parábo-la". Como personas parábola estamos llamados a esparcir la Buena Nueva del Evangelio a otros. ¿Cómo? Primero por los buenos ejemplos que presentamos ante otros, así como por la voluntad de compartir nuestra fe. Viviendo y com-partiendo nuestra fe, otros podrían interesarse en saber más. ¿Conoce a alguien así? ¿Podrían ellos querer aprender más acerca de nuestra fe y posiblemente unirse a la Iglesia Católica? Por favor, diríjalos a nuestro programa RCIA que comenzará pronto. Póngase en contacto con Jazmir Fajar-do, coordinadora de RCIA, a través de nuestra oficina pa-rroquial. Espero y ruego que ustedes tengan una maravillosa tem-porada de verano. Padre Michael Rocha

Did You Know?

Brush up on water safety skills. Summer is a great time to hit the pool and take a break from the heat. It is important for parents to take a few moments to re-view swimming and water safety with children. Remind them to put on sunscreen. Sign children up for swim lessons or a water safety class. Remember to use age appropriate flotation devices as needed. To request a copy of the VIRTUS article “Refresh Your Memory About Summer Water Safety,” email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227.

Summer Staffing Update

We were happy to welcome Fr. Cipriano Dias, O.F.M. Cap (Franciscan Capuchin) over the 4th of July holiday weekend. Fr. Cipriano is from Goa, India. He is presently studying Franciscan Spirituality in Rome. He is visiting us for 3 months before he returns to Rome to complete his studies at the end of September. This past week we also welcomed Fr. Moses Chikwe from Nigeria. Fr. Moses spent several years in Los Angeles and San Diego. Fr. Moses was in residence in my former parish in Venice while pursuing his Ph.D. in Education at U.C.L.A. Fr. Moses will be with us until the end of August. Having both of these fine priests with us will be a blessing for our community and will also allow Fr. Toribio and myself some needed vacation time. I would ask you to welcome Fr. Cipriano and Fr. Moses to St. Paschal’s with open arms. Please make them feel at home as much as possible.

The Men’s Club would like to take a moment to share, and reflect upon, the very special year it has been over the last 12 months, now that July is here and we transition to a new arch-diocese calendar period. The past year has been filled with fun, exciting, and very successful events - such as the Fall Fest/Car Raffle, Golf Tournament, Super Bowl Party, Lenten Fish Frys, Family Movie Night, Casino Night, Pancake Break-fasts, Member of Honor Dinner, and Conejo Food and Wine event, among others. It was an honor and privilege to serve those in need during the Christmas season with a toy drive and Children's Christmas Party, (benefiting over 600 families), assisting St. Vincent de Paul with food collection (filling their onsite pantry to capacity), and donating food to 180 families during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. With God’s blessings and the incredibly generous support of you, our SPB parishioners, and our countless friends, sponsors, and support-ers of St. Paschal Baylon, the Men’s Club was able to contrib-ute over $139,000 to our parish and school, educational schol-arships, and our outreach program - benefiting over 20 local organizations. Our 2017 Outreach Program consisted of dona-tions made to support boy/girl scouts, hospice care, foster care, food banks, religious education, respect life, convalescent care, youth ministries, and cancer support. Our Men’s Club organi-zation is only able to make these contributions because of your financial support and participation in our events, the countless hours from dedicated parish and school volunteers, the hard work from our membership, and the exceptional support and assistance from Father Michael, the entire parish office team, and school faculty and staff. We are truly blessed to be part of the special community at St. Paschal Baylon and look forward to another great year in 2017-18! P.S. - All men of the parish (18 years and older) are invited to participate in the Men’s Club. Join us in our mission to be “Men of Faith, Serving God’s People”. Please come to our next meeting on Monday, August 7th at 6pm in the Parish Hall. We look forward to seeing you there!

St. Paschal's Respect Life

The Respect Life Ministry next meeting will be held on September 6th , at 7:00 in

Room 1 in the Parish Hall.

Blood Drive: St. Paschal’s will be holding their next Blood Drive on Sunday August 13th in the hall from 7:00am to 1:00pm. If you have not donated since June 18th you are eligible to do-

nate. There is always a great need for blood and your help will be greatly appreciated. If you can help in this very worthy cause you may call Gene at 805-497-7029 and schedule a time convenient for you. Sign-ups will also be taken after all Masses on the weekends of 7/23, 7/30 and 8/6. Please help and may God Bless You.

THE MERCY, POWER, AND LOVE OF GOD

The first reading today, from the book of Wisdom, makes its point over and over, at least five times in five verses! God is mighty, but lenient to all. God’s power is shown in kindness and clemency, not in harshness and condemnation, and those who govern God’s people must govern in the same way, with kindness. This loving kindness and gentleness is not contrary to God’s might, but is a direct result of God’s primacy over all. Who are we, then, to judge what is in the hearts of our fellow Christians and all people, when God commands justice with love and clemency? Likewise, the Holy Spirit makes up for our ignorance of what we need, speaking in a language we do not yet un-derstand. But God knows our needs before we do, understands the intercessions of the Spirit, and helps us in our weak-ness. This is our hope: God’s mercy, power, and love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — You taught your people that those who are just must likewise be kind (Wisdom 12:13, 16-19). Psalm — Lord, you are good and forgiving (Psalm 86). Second Reading — The Spirit comes to aid us in our weakness (Romans 8:26-27). Gospel — Jesus proposes parables to the crowds, teach-ing them of the reign of God (Matthew 13:24-43 [24-30]).

For centuries, the only Eucharistic Prayer we heard as Western Catholics was the old Roman Canon, usually recited in a low voice by the priest, in Latin. By the 1940s, many Catholics were learning to follow along with the actions of the priest by means of a bilingual missal, with Latin on one side and English on the other. Drawings of the priest’s posi-tion at the altar, moving from one side to the other, or bowing or standing with uplifted hands at the center, helped the readers stay on track. The Roman Canon is a long prayer, and since it was done every day for every occasion, priests had a way of gal-loping through it. Even though long, its structure is fairly simple, with the consecration and sacrifice clearly marked out. Sadly, this surviving prayer had triumphed over many treasures of our tradition that emphasized other dimensions of Eucharist. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy in 1963 did not call directly for new Eucharistic Prayers, but that direction was inevitable. Discussion began almost immediately, and by 1967 the Vatican approved three new Eucharis-tic Prayers. In 1974, the Congregation for Worship unveiled the experiment of two Eucharistic Prayers for Masses of Reconciliation, and three for Masses with Children. At last, a period of creativity and enrichment had begun. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

QUIÉN ES QUIÉN? Es muy difícil, a simple vista, saber quiénes son buenos y malos. Algo parecido es lo que sucede en la parábola del trigo y la cizaña. Son semillas gemelas que, por así decir, se han “sembrado Juntas” y han crecido juntas, en el mismo am-biente y con los mismos cuidados. Son los cuidados de ese Dios fuerte, bueno e indulgente que cuida de todos y es compasivo y bondadoso. Hasta aquí se entiende que el sembrador no quiera arrancar la cizaña, no sea que junto con ella se arranque el trigo. El sembrador cuida de todo lo suyo. No pocas veces las motivaciones personales para hacer algo nos parecen buenas y justificables, aunque podrían ser profundamente egoístas. ¿Qué podríamos, entonces, arrancar? ¿Y cómo podemos hacer un verdadero discerni-miento que nos deje claro por qué y para qué hacemos las cosas? ¿Lo que hacemos es para nuestro propio beneficio o prestigio? ¿No es también verdad que, a veces, tomamos decisiones que parecen salidas de la debilidad, pero que en el fondo son heroicas, porque benefician al otro? Sucede que decidimos hacer algo que aunque nos perjudica perso-nalmente, beneficia a otra persona; eso es amor verdadero. Pero otras veces, nos sentimos jaloneados en distintas di-recciones, y no sabemos bien qué hay en nosotros, si es trigo o es cizaña, o si lo que era trigo se envenenó. Afortunadamente, el Espíritu viene en ayuda de nuestra debilidad, como nos dice la Carta a los Romanos hoy. Por-que el justo nos sostiene, incluso en nuestra mezcla, hasta que llegue el día en que todas las verdades se desvelen y en que él mismo nos haga trigo limpio, trigo de su Pan, que es su Cuerpo. Por tanto, es al comer de este pan que la cizaña, sin necesidad de arrancarla, va muriendo dentro de nosotros y el buen trigo crece. Porque Cristo es compasivo y amoroso y nos alimenta de sí mismo; buen pan, hecho de buen trigo. ¿A veces sientes el impulso de juzgar rápidamente y sin conocer los detalles o las intenciones para actuar?

VIVIENDO NUESTRA FE

Es fácil juzgar y lo hacemos espontáneamente, cuando las personas alrededor nuestro no cumplen nuestras expecta-tivas o no lo hacen lo que a nosotros nos parecería justo y bueno. Sin embargo, como sabemos por experiencia per-sonal, es muy arriesgado juzgar las intenciones de los co-razones, los cuales solamente Dios conoce. Cuando juz-gamos en el seno de la familia, a veces cortamos la inicia-tiva de las personas que se sienten intimidadas por el po-sible juicio. Dejemos que el trigo y la cizaña crezcan jun-tos. Sólo al final sabremos qué era qué.

¿SABÍA USTED?

Aprender sobre las habilidades de seguridad del agua El verano es un buen momento para ir a la piscina y tomar un descanso del calor. Es importante que los padres de familia tomen unos momentos para revisar la natación y la seguridad en el agua con los niños. Recuérdeles que se pongan protector so-lar. Inscriba a los niños en clases de natación o en una clase de la seguridad en el agua. Recuerde usar dispositivos de flotación apropiados para cada edad según sea necesario. Para solicitar una copia del artículo de VIRTUS “Refresh Your Memory About Summer Water Safety” (Refresque su memoria sobre la seguridad del agua en verano), escriba abmelendez@la-archdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7508.
