Pastor’s CornerPastor’s CornerPastor’s Corner Rincón del PastorRincón del PastorRincón del Pastor In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us, “My yoke is easy and my burden light.” Those of us who are skeptical and already know the demands of discipleship might ask. “How easy and how light?” The 1930's movie star Mae West (a long time ago!) may have had an answer to that question. Known for her light-hearted, bawdy double entendres, she fa-mously said, “I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.” Mae would wink and add, “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” Another of her famous lines: “I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.” Mae is correct on all three points. Following Jesus is worth it. Following Jesus is the right way. And avoiding temptation is something we cannot do alone. We need Jesus to prevail. In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives thanks that the little ones understand. They learn with their heart. Many of the Pharisees and others are so bogged down in the rules and regulations that they can hardly grasp what Jesus is telling them. The only way to learn about God is through Jesus be-cause Jesus is the way to the Father. Jesus wants to reveal the Father to all, but perhaps it is only the young that are open to knowing the God of compassion and understand-ing. Jesus offers something that the laws cannot. He offers an easing of burdens to the people. His yoke is easy and his burden light. We are not alone in our burdens. How can we prepare our hearts and minds to under-stand what Jesus is asking? How can we bury our own swords and unstring our harmful bows? Can we string our bows with loving kindness? Can we string our bows with compassion for those struggling to get by with little? Children do not need manifestos on the merits of law. They understand through simple ways. Don’t we find it easier to learn the importance of loving your neighbor through a parable? It’s both memorable and manageable. Aren’t children often less encumbered by worries sometimes listening with their hearts to God’s word. How will you open your heart to hear God’s word to-day? Depending where you are in life the Summer time can be a little more relaxed than at other times of the year. Take time for yourself. You don’t need to go far away on an expensive vacation. A walk on the beach, a stroll through a park or a comfortable corner in your backyard. Pause a little while and listen to the Lord. I remind people often that if they are traveling don’t take a vacation from God or from your Catholic Faith. As you travel check out the different Catholic Churches that you might find in different cities. On Sundays celebrate a Mass with fellow Catholics wherever you might be. Plan ahead and check out www.masstimes.org to find the near-est church and all the Mass times. In our age of technolo-gy there is no excuse not to know where the nearest Cath-olic Church might be in any town. If you will be away for a vacation this summer please do not forget your financial support of our parish. Espe-cially during the hot summer months our utility bills are high because we need to air condition our Church and other buildings. Thank you ahead of time for being so generous. Father Michael Rocha

En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús nos dice: "Mi yugo es suave y mi carga ligera." Aquellos de nosotros que somos escép-ticos y que ya conocemos las demandas del discipulado podríamos preguntar. -¿Qué tan suave y cuán ligera? Mae West, la estrella de cine de los años 30 (¡hace mu-cho tiempo!), puede haber tenido una respuesta a esa pre-gunta. Conocida por sus alegres dobles sentidos, ella dijo: "Nunca dije que sería fácil, sólo dije que valdría la pena." Mae guiñaba el ojo y agregaba: "Sólo se vive una vez, pero si lo haces bien, una vez es suficiente". Otra de sus líneas famosas: "Generalmente evito la tentación a menos que no pueda resistirla". Mae tiene razón en los tres puntos. Seguir a Jesús vale la pena. Seguir a Jesús es el camino correcto. Y evitar la tentación es algo que no podemos hacer solos. Necesitamos que Jesús triunfe. En el Evangelio de hoy Jesús da gracias que los peque-ños comprenden. Aprenden con su corazón. Muchos de los fariseos y otros están tan enredados en las leyes y regla-mentos que difícilmente pueden comprender lo que Jesús les está diciendo. La única manera de aprender acerca de Dios es a través de Jesús porque Jesús es el camino hacia el Padre. Jesús quiere revelar al Padre a todos, pero tal vez sólo los jóve-nes estén abiertos a conocer al Dios de compasión y com-prensión. Jesús ofrece algo que las leyes no pueden. Él ofrece un alivio a las cargas de la gente. Su yugo es suave y su carga ligera. No estamos solos con nuestras cargas. ¿Cómo podemos preparar nuestros corazones y mentes para entender lo que Jesús está pidiendo? ¿Cómo podemos enterrar nuestras propias espadas y desatar nuestros arcos amenazadores? ¿Podemos atar nuestros arcos con lazos de cariño? ¿Podemos atar nuestros arcos con compasión por aquellos que luchan por sobrevivir con muy poco? Los niños no necesitan manifiestos sobre los méritos de la ley. Comprenden a través de maneras simples. ¿No nos resulta más fácil aprender la importancia de amar a nuestro prójimo a través de una parábola? Es memorable y maneja-ble. ¿No son los niños, a menudo menos agobiados por las preocupaciones, los que con mayor frecuencia escuchan con sus corazones a la palabra de Dios? ¿Cómo abrirá usted su corazón para escuchar la palabra de Dios hoy? Dependiendo de donde esté usted en la vida, el tiempo de verano puede ser un poco más relajado que en otras épo-cas del año. Tómese tiempo para usted. No es necesario ir muy lejos en unas vacaciones caras. Un paseo por la playa, un paseo por un parque o una cómoda esquina en su patio trasero. Deténgase un poco y escuche al Señor. A menudo recuerdo a la gente que si viajan, no tomen vacaciones de Dios ni de su fe católica. Durante su viaje, eche un vistazo a las diferentes iglesias católicas que pueda encontrar en diferentes ciudades. Los domingos, asista a la celebración de la misa con sus hermanos y hermanas católi-cos dondequiera que se encuentre. Planee con anticipación y visite el sitio www.masstimes.org para encontrar la igle-sia más cercana y el horario de las misas. En la época de la tecnología no hay pretexto para no saber dónde está la igle-sia católica más cercana en cualquier ciudad. Si usted va a estar de vacaciones este verano por favor no olvide su apoyo financiero de nuestra parroquia. Espe-cialmente durante los calurosos meses de verano nuestras cuentas de servicios públicos son altas porque necesitamos aire acondicionado para nuestra iglesia y otros edificios. Gracias por adelantado por ser tan generoso. Padre Michael Rocha

Did You Know?

Protect against potential danger. Taking a few precautions can help children learn to pro-tect themselves against potential danger and ease parents’ minds. Teach children to memorize their full name, ad-dress, and phone number, so they can provide the infor-mation to an adult if they are separated from their parents or caregiver. Instruct children to look for a police officer or other “safe” adult (e.g., a store or park employee) if they need assistance. Teach them how and when to dial 9-1-1. For more tips, request the VIRTUS© article “7 Pre-cautions to Take against Kidnapping,” from jvienna@la-archdiocese.org or call (213) 637-7227.

Who “Needs” Religious Education Classes?

Children who have received First Communion can con-tinue to grow in their understanding of their faith. Middle school students who received First Communion can now be a part of a junior high youth-group class. Students who have never had classes, can begin pre-paring for First Communion.

Even preschoolers and kinder-garteners have a class on Sunday mornings to learn about Jesus while parents are attending mass. We welcome all of you to join us this year for faith for-mation. Is God calling you to share your faith? Then Religious Education needs you! Be a volunteer teacher or aide for the upcoming year. It’s an hour or so a week, which will mean so much to our children.

Parish Ministry Informa on Update on Parish Improvement Projects

Just keeping you informed. The church was painted, inside and out, and the doors were stripped and var-nished. The painting project cost $28,000. Extra lighting has been added to better highlight the refurbished Stations of the Cross at a cost of $831. The landscaping has also been improved around the church and other areas of the campus and there is more to come. So far about $2000 has been spent. As I mentioned on several occasions the parking lot is going to be repaired, double seal coated and re-striped. We could not do this sooner because of the school sched-ule, summer school and other parish events. We are scheduling this project for the week of July 24th. The cost is a little over $32,000. Sometime in August the next major project will be the painting of the exterior and most of the inside of the Par-ish Hall. These projects will cost about $25,000. We have a very busy parish with many events. In or-der to not disrupt all of those events I have had to stretch out the calendaring of all the projects. Please be patient. If you total up just these projects alone we will have spent $88,200.00. Thank you for your support and gener-osity that has allowed me to be able to improve our par-ish campus. Father Michael Rocha Addendum: Two other important projects are also being executed this summer. The Mens Club is remodeling several sections of the Parish Hall Kitchen. This will certainly improve our kitchen facilities and assist those that use the kitchen. A major beatification project will soon greet all those that come to St. Paschal’s. The “welcome circle” as you enter the parish parking lot between the parish center and the parish hall is going to be completly redesigned. As part of an Eagle Scout Project, in co-operation with the Parish, a park-like “Shrine to the Unborn” will be creat-ed. In the center will be a 5 ft. Carrera marble statue of Our Lady with the Christ Child placed on a pedestal. The present large pine trees will be removed as well as all the other old shrubs. A tall hedge will planted to form a background to the statue. The space surrounding the stat-ue will be filled with multi-colored rose bushes. The stat-ue itself will be surrounded by an arched arbor with crawling rose vines. The imported (and expensive) statue is a gift from a parish family. People who visit our com-munity will know with certainty that Saint Paschal’s is a Pro-Life Community.

St. Paschal's Respect Life

The Respect Life Ministry next meet-ing will be held on September 6th , at 7:30 in the hall.

A HUMBLE KING

Like a tonal center in music, the note to which we keep returning in today’s readings is humility. We wait in joyful expectation for the coming of our Lord as King. But what we are told to expect and rejoice over is a meek and humble king, riding on an ass. Not horses or chariots of the great and mighty, but a humble beast carries the Ruler whose dominion stretches “from the River to the ends of the earth” (Zechariah 9:10). This King comes to banish the tools of the warrior and bring peace. No wonder that a weary world rejoices and gives thanks to God! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — Rejoice heartily, O Jerusalem! For see, your savior comes (Zechariah 9:9-10). Psalm — I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God (Psalm 145). Second Reading — The one who raised Christ from death will give life to your mortal bodies also (Romans 8:9, 11-13). Gospel — Come, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:25-30).

The premier poet of the English language, Geoffrey Chaucer, introduced one of his most beloved charac-ters, the “Wife of Bath,” by this telling remark: “Husbands at church door she had five.” Four times wid-owed, she was setting off on a pilgrimage, notably without number five. The church door is a curious detail, pointing to the fourteenth-century wedding custom of marrying on the porch of the parish church. The goal was to give maximum publicity to the consent of the groom and bride, and so consent was moved from the bride’s home to a public venue. The priest would stand in the doorway and begin by sprinkling the couple with holy water. He needed to make sure they weren’t too closely related and give them some instruction. He would direct the groom to pay the bride’s family a dowry, and then announce the monetary amounts to the interested passersby. Only then would the guests enter the church for the wedding Mass, during which the bride and groom would hold lighted candles. The gradual move from home to church and the shift from the bride’s father to the priest’s authority helped to protect the freedom of brides who weren’t quite as confident as the Wife of Bath. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

¿HASTA CUÁNDO? ¿Cuándo se acabarán las guerras, las catástrofes, los conflictos? Parece que los gobiernos y los políticos nunca llegan a una solución de paz duradera. Si miramos las no-ticias diarias vemos que en lugar de disminuir los conflic-tos, parece aumentar. Incluso al mirar al interior de nues-tras comunidades podríamos desalentarnos ante las tensio-nes, faltas de comunicación, o divisiones internas. Bende-cir a Dios en circunstancias así parece prácticamente im-posible. Nos aprestamos, más bien, a luchar, a pelear. Y tenemos que pelear, pero al estilo de Dios que es muy dis-tinto del nuestro. Es una pelea interna para dejar que ven-za la mansedumbre, que es mucho más fuerte y es lo único que puede traer la paz. Las lecturas de hoy parecen bastante contradictorias. Hay, particularmente, dos palabras que se repiten y que parece que no tienen sentido juntas, humildad y victoria. Sin embargo, se colocan lado a lado, como si fueran la más natural del mundo. Es lo más natural, no para noso-tros, sino para Dios. Dios viene victorioso y eso es razón de alegría. Como si indicara que la victoria está precisa-mente en la mansedumbre. Es difícil ser manso y humilde de corazón, pues cuando somos confrontados tendemos a reaccionar defendiéndonos; al sentir cansancio a veces nos damos por vencidos; a la crítica respondemos con agresión y acusación, o, lo que es peor, con depresión. La manse-dumbre, por el contrario, es la fortaleza de mirar al con-flicto, al cansancio y al agobio de frente y con serenidad, y continuar luchando sabiendo que nos anima el Espíritu. No son nuestras obras las que tienen que vencer, sino las obras de Dios. “Vengan a mí los que estén cansados y agobiados, y yo los aliviaré”. “Tomen mi yugo; porque mi yugo es suave y mi carga ligera”. De hecho, muchos creyentes tienen que so-portar grandes sufrimientos. El consuelo viene por la cer-teza de que Jesús está en todas nuestras luchas. Tenemos a alguien mucho más poderoso que nosotros que nos lleva, sostiene y hace triunfar, no por la fuerza y la violencia, sino porque camina con nosotros. Así podemos sentirnos siempre agradecidos y humildes, pero triunfadores. ¿Cómo reaccionas a la crítica y al ataque?

VIVIENDO NUESTRA FE

Mansos, pero despiertos, dice Jesús. Los mansos no cie-rran los ojos a la injusticia, la enfrentan con paz, directa-mente, y sin violencia. Es lo que practicó San Francisco, Dorothy Day, la madre Teresa de Calcuta , Gandi y tantos otros santos y héroes que se enfrentaron a la injusticia desde el amor de Dios, no con las armas de la guerra, sino con las del amor, que son la verdad y la firmeza. Hay mo-mentos en nuestras vidas en que nos enfrentamos a la dis-criminación, a la injusticia en el trabajo, en la vivienda, en las leyes migratorias o en el sistema educativo. La manse-dumbre no nos pide abandonar la lucha, sino bregar con-fiados en las obras y la fuerza de Dios.

¿SABÍA USTED?

Pasos para prevenir peligros Tomar algunas precauciones puede ayudar a los niños a aprender a protegerse contra de peligro y aliviar la mente de los padres de familia. Enseñe a los niños a memorizar su nombre completo, dirección y número de teléfono, pa-ra que puedan proporcionar la información a un adulto si están separados de sus padres o cuidador. Instruya a los niños a buscar un oficial de policía u otro adulto “seguro” (por ejemplo, un empleado de la tienda o del parque) si necesitan ayuda. Enséñeles cómo y cuándo marcar 9-1-1.
