ST. JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC CHURCH

From the Pastor’s Laptop

Father Mark Wagner In today’s Gospel

Jesus says that He is the Good Shepherd who gives His sheep eternal life, and that “No one can take them out of my hand.” (John 10:27-30). We know that Jesus also said to St. Peter: “Tend my sheep” (Last Sunday’s Gospel John 21:1-19). Throughout the centuries, the successors of Peter have protected the flock from errors which might jeopardize their eternal life. Particularly in the 20th century, we have had heroic popes who have been willing to “lay down their lives for the sheep” (three of them are canonized saints!). They have written many authoritative encyclicals to protect us from the errors and sins of the modern age.

Now Pope Francis has produced a long document that reaffirms and re-explains the teachings found in the encyclicals of his predecessors. This Apostolic Exhortation “Amoris Laetitia” is not an encyclical, but it confirms our belief that certain things

are harmful to society and to our eternal life. Pope Francis gently explains that many of the problems of our society are caused by things like contraception, abortion, divorce and so-called “same-sex marriage.”

Of course, there are those who are always hoping that the Church w i l l c h a n g e h e r m o r a l teachings. They want to show that one pope disagrees with another pope. They are now engaged in a desperate and pathetic search to find something in the text, and even in the footnotes of this Apostolic Exhortation, for an example of a change in the Church’s moral teaching; they have not found it and will never find it. The shepherd will never allow any of the sheep to be taken out of His hand! Pope Francis is the vicar of the Good Shepherd, who knows what is good for His sheep, and can never allow them to perish!

Respect Life

Every month during the Year of Mercy we are reflecting on Works of Mercy

April: Counsel the Doubtful

Pray for people who are sad and full of doubt and indecision regarding their Catholic faith. Pray for Catholic college students who are confused and scandalized by atheistic professors. Pray for the priests and bishops whose task it is to counsel the doubtful by means of preaching. Pray for the catechists and Catholic teachers and professors whose task it is to counsel the doubtful by means of teaching. Commit yourself to learning about the Catholic faith so that you can share your understanding of the faith with others. Offer words of encouragement to those who are uneducated about their Catholic religion. Invite people to take part in educational opportunities for adults at St. Joseph’s Parish such as Bible Studies and “That Man is You.” Give someone a gift of a good Catholic book or DVD. Ask people about their hopes and support them in striving to respond to their vocation in life. Offer positive words to friends and classmates who are sad and discouraged.

Actions for this month:

Read the pope’s exhortation ‘Amoris Laetitia,’ or ‘One Love in the Family’ http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/ papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20160319_amoris-laetitia.html

Healthy Tips from our St. Joseph’s Health Ministry

Feel 40% better by praying! According to the Journal of

Behavioral Medicine, praying triggers the so called “relaxation

response,” a physical state of soothing calm that shuts down the release of stress hormones,

relaxing muscles and decreasing your ability to feel pain.

APRIL IS CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH The best way to protect our children and our church is for adults to learn red flag behaviors and to

report concerns. This creates a culture of protection. Learn how to recognize the signs

and symptoms of child abuse. https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubpdfs/whatiscan.pdf

Regina Caeli During the Easter season (until Pentecost, May 15), Cath-

olics pray the following prayer instead of the Angelus (at 6am, Noon and 6pm):

V. Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. R. For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia. V. Has risen, as he said, alleluia. R. Pray for us to God, alleluia. V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia. R. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia. Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Parish Stewardship — a way of life

Children’s Cheribum Choir

"There is Peace!" The continued performances of the

St. Joseph’s Cherubim Children`s Choir participation at the Modesto High School recitals has allowed this mighty group of younger singers to deliver a Christian message to recital guests. The evening became an amazing mix of four-choir fellowship, musically educational, as well as an exciting outreach and evangelization to the local community. The repertoire we presented ranged from kids favorites and musicals, to inspiring Christian contemporary pieces. It was a true joy to see our little Cherubims proclaiming the greatness of the Lord in the uplifting and inspiring music piece: "Glory to God, Hosanna in the Highest!"

What was unique in this MHS spring recital: a concluding finale when all 4 choirs (100+ choristers) joined together to deliver a message: There is Peace – Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant us Peace from Agnus Dei), that teaches principles of God`s love and mercy through music.

It is our mission to discover, nurture and enjoy our children’s God-given talents. Our children`s choir program introduces young singers to music, singing and rhythm, development of musicianship and skills in the context of a rich and engaging spiritual environment. Start your child on the path of musical enjoyment and achievement with our Cherubim choir. For more information about how your child can participate, call Svetlana at 551-4973, ext. 200.

En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús dice que es el Buen Pastor que les da a sus ovejas la vida eternal y que “nadie puede arrebatar nada de las manos de mi Padre.” (Juan 10:27-30) Y, claro, sabemos que Jesús también le dijo a San Pedro: “Apacienta mis ovejas.” (El evangelio del domingo pasado, Juan 21:1-19.) A través de los siglos, los sucesores de Pedro han protegido al rebaño de errores que pueden exponer al peligro su vida eterna. Particularmente en el siglo 20, hemos tenido Papas heroicos que han sido capaces de “dar sus vidas por las ovejas” (¡tres de ellos han sido santos canonizados!) Han escrito muchas encíclicas autoritativas para protegernos de los errores y pecados de la temporada moderna. Ahora, el Papa Francisco ha producido un documento largo, lo re-afirma y re-explica las enseñanzas encontradas en la encíclicas de sus predecesores. Esta Exhortación Apostólica “Amoris Laetitia” no es una encíclica, pero si confirma nuestra

creencia que ciertas cosas son dañinas para la sociedad y para nuestra vida eterna. El Papa Francisca suavemente explica que muchos de los problemas de nuestra sociedad son causados por las cosas como la contracepción, el aborto, el divorcio, y supuestamente llamados “matrimonios del mismo sexo.” Claro, existen algunos que siempre están esperando que la Iglesia va a cambiar sus enseñanzas morales. Quieren demostrar que un Papa no está de acuerdo con otro. Ahora están buscando por el texto de la Exhortación Apostólica en una forma desesperada y patética, hasta dentro de las notas, un ejemplo de un cambio en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia. Pero, no han encontrado nada, y no lo van a encontrar. ¡El pastor jamás permitirá que las ovejas sean arrebatadas de Su mano! El Papa Francisco es el vicario del Buen Pastor que sabe qué es bueno para sus ovejas y ¡nunca puede dejar que expiren!

La Viña de Raquel

Sanando del dolor del aborto en fin de semana. Los fines de semana de la Viña de Raquel son una oportunidad

maravillosa para cualquier persona que está en la lucha espiritual o emocional del aborto. El fin de semana es un proceso especialmente ideado para ayudarle a experimentar el amor y la

misericordia de Dios. Es también una oportunidad para dejar aflorar sentimientos reprimidos de rabia, vergüenza, culpa y

dolor. Hay tres oportunidades durante este Año de la Misericordia para entrar en este proceso conciliador: en Inglés: Sept. 9-11. Del 2016 y, en Español: Julio 15-17 del 2016. Para más información o para inscribirse póngase en comunicación con Kim al 209.465.5433,

“¡Hay paz!” Las presentaciones continuas del Coro

Querubín de St. Joseph’s en los conciertos de la Modesto High School

ha permitido que este grupo maravilloso de cantantes más jóvenes

entregar un mensaje cristiano a los que están presentes en el

concierto. La noche se hizo una mezcla asombrosa del convivio de

cuatro coros, además de ser educacional musicalmente y de alcance y evangelización para la

comunidad. El repertorio que presentamos incluía temas de

canciones favoritas infantiles y de musicales a temas inspiradores

contemporáneos cristianos. Da mucha alegría ver a nuestros pequeños

Querubines proclamando la majestad del Señor en el tema inspirador: “Glory

to God, Hosanna in the Highest,” o sea, “Gloria a Dios, Hosanna en el

Cielo.” Lo más único de este concierto de la

Modesto High School fue el gran final donde todos los cuatro coros (100+

coristas) se juntaron para dar un mensaje: Hay Paz – Dona Nobis

Pacem (Danos paz del Agnus Dei), lo cual nos enseña los principio del amor y la misericordia de Dios a través de la

música. Es nuestra misión de descubrir, nutrir, y gozar de los talentos dados por Dios de nuestros niños. Nuestro programa del coro de niños les introduce a los

cantantes jóvenes a la música, el canto y el ritmo, el desarrollo de las

habilidades musicales en un ambiente rico y cautivador. Comience a su hijo en el camino de gozar de la música y

de logros con nuestro Coro de Querubines. Para más información de cómo puede su hijo participar, llame a
