“Unconditionally Pro-Life, Pro-Family”
Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
June 19, 2016
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person,
there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
— Galatians 3:28
Pastor’s Corner
Today’s Gospel is important. Jesus is about to begin
His journey to Jerusalem and to the cross and
resurrection. He asks those who are to follow him a
simple question. “Who do you say that I am?” That is a
question that we must all answer if we are to follow
Jesus. Jesus is the Messiah, our Savior. To follow Him
is to suffer with Him, die with Him, and rise with Him. In
other words there is a cost to following Jesus. There is
no cheap discipleship. To follow Jesus is to lose
ourselves and go where Jesus leads us, to experience a
dying to self in order to experience the risen life of
Christ. To let go of grudges, prejudice, even lifestyle in
order to go where Jesus leads. What do we need to let
go of to really follow Jesus?
PETER’S PENCE COLLECTION
Next Sunday envelopes for the Peter’s Pence
Collection will be available in the pews.
This collection provides Pope Francis with the funds
he needs to carry out his charitable works around the
world. The proceeds benefit the most disadvantaged:
victims of war, oppression, and disasters.
Please return envelopes with donation the following
week.
FR. JOHN’S FAREWELL
Please take sometime after all the Masses next
Sunday to express your appreciation to Fr. John for his
time spent at Sacred Heart and to bid him God’s
blessings as he embarks on his new assignment.
A Prayer for Fathers
God Our Father,
In your wisdom and love you made all things.
Bless those fathers who have taken upon
themselves the responsibility of parenting,
separation, or divorce, and who are parenting
their children alone.
Strengthen all Dads by your love that they may
become the loving, caring persons they are
meant to be.
Grant this through Christ our Lord,
Amen
Reflections by Fr. Carlos
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I want share with you the last part of the of 5 Ways
To Nourish Your Spiritual Life Today by Jeannie Ewing.
3. Take a 10-minute walk in a natural environment.
Canticle of the Sun, St. Francis of Assisi
This means somewhere without concrete (unless it is
a walking path through a nature preserve), without
noise and the buzz of city life. It also means without any
technology, so put down the smartphone, tablet, and
mp3 players.
I cannot overemphasize how healing a nature walk
can be. When I take that ten minutes (or more) to
step outside of my hectic routine and just listen to the
evensong of our local birds, observe the vast array
of deciduous trees and myriad colors of the flowers
surrounding me, I feel as if God has reached down
from Heaven to offer me an embrace.
However brief it may be, a simple, solitary walk in the
midst of trees, flowers, birds, and water easily brings us
back to the Creator. I believe it is because creation
reflects God in all His wonders and glory, so we are
naturally drawn to praise and thank Him for the gift that
nature provides to spiritually nourish us.
4. Sit in silence.
God does not typically speak to us in thunder or flashy
acts of grandiosity. Rather, He whispers to us
in the
silence of our hearts, where He resides. How many of
us who are lay people (and perhaps even consecrated
religious) find that sitting in silence is nearly an
impossibility on a daily basis? Yet how will we hear God
speak to our hearts? How else will we permit Him to
heal us, clarify and guide us, strengthen our resolve?
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Zechariah foretells the Messiah
(Zechariah 12:10-11; 13:1).
Psalm — My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God
(Psalm 63).
Second Reading — There are no distinctions or
divisions; we all belong to Christ (Galatians 3:26-29).
Gospel — Peter proclaims Jesus as the Christ;
Jesus speaks of his great suffering to come (Luke
9:18-24).

Youth Ministry News
When someone says they are going to the
"Happiest place on Earth" most people automatically
think Disneyland which, with their slogan, is correct
to assume. And let's be honest, Disney does a great
job of making children and kids of all ages dreams
come true. Now as much as I am a Disney fanatic
and frequently visit the park, Disneyland is not the
happiest place on earth for me. The happiest place
on earth for me is at mass celebrating our faith. No
rides, no colorful characters or singers, no sugar
filled snacks, just us and Christ fully present in our
midst and in our bodies. For most people however,
they would rather be at Disneyland, and this is the
problem with our church. People would rather be
anywhere but mass and because of that, miss out on
the beauty and fullness of the mass. The mass is
exhilarating and full of life, but we tend to miss it. We
challenge and teach our teens about the importance
of the mass and why if they know what is going on
and what it means, mass is more than meets the
eye. So next time you go to mass, prepare before
hand, read the readings, and know what prayers and
movements mean during the mass. I promise you, if
you do this, mass will be better than Disneyland.
SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
VIRTUS TRAINING
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles mandates Virtus
Training for all adults working with children.
ALL volunteers (EM, Lectors, Ushers…) who work in
ministries at Sacred Heart and have contact with
children and all staff and clergy are required to be
VIRTUS certified and to recertify every four years. Next
re-certification class is:
When: Wednesday, June 29th
Time: 6—7:30PM
Where: St. Francis Cabrini Senior Center
To sign-up call 647-3235 Ext. 304
DID YOU KNOW?
Implement safety rules for kids going to
summer camp
Summer camp is a time-honored tradition for kids.
Whether it’s an all-day camp or cabin sleepaway, kids
can get out of the house, learn new skills, and make
friends. Parents who send their kids off to camp should
be sure to research the camp and the counselors who
will be watching their kids. If your child is going to sleepaway camp, check in by phone or mail regularly. Ask
questions and ensure that your child is safe and cared
for at any camp. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article
“Summer Camp Preparation” email [email protected] or call (213) 637-7227.

Questions to ponder:
1. Where in the world is God’s grace needed today?
What difference can it make when people
cooperate with God’s grace? Where in your own life
do you most need God’s grace? What will it mean
for you to cooperate with God’s grace?
2. If you were to name the divisions that exist today
what would they be? What injustices do you see in
your own community? What have you done or can
do to right those injustices?
3. Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” Name one
way our life answers who you believe Jesus to be.
Registration for September classes:
1. Forms are on our office door or online at
sacredheartventura.org Instructions for registering
are on the back of the form.
2. Office hours during June are Sundays 10-12,
Tuesdays/Wednesdays 6-8 or by appointment.

MISA DEL MEDIODÍA, 12 P.M.
Esquina del Pastor
El Evangelio de hoy es importante. Jesús está a
punto de comenzar su viaje a Jerusalén y a la cruz y
resurrección. Él le pregunta a los que han de seguirle
una pregunta sencilla. "Quién dicen que soy yo?" Esa
es una pregunta que todos debemos responder si
hemos de seguir a Jesús. Jesús es el Mesías, nuestro
Salvador. Para seguirle es sufrir con Él, morir con Él,
y resucitar con Él. En otras palabras, hay un costo de
seguir a Jesús. No hay discipulado barato. Seguir a
Jesús es perdernos a nosotros mismos e ir a donde
Jesús nos conduce, a experimentar morir a sí mismo
con el fin de experimentar la vida resucitada de Cristo.
Dejar ir los rencores, prejuicios, incluso el estilo de vida
con el fin de ir a donde Jesús nos guía. ¿Qué
necesitamos dejar ir para seguir a Jesús realmente?
COLECTA PETER’S PENCE

Reflexiones del Padre Carlos
Hermanos y hermanos en el Señor,
Quiero compartir con ustedes un artículo que
encontré en internet sobre 4 formas en que podemos.
En está ocasión comparto las dos primeras. Dios
bendiga su semana.
1. Tome unos diez minutos sin hacer nada, solo
alabando a Dios.
La oración no es todo acerca de ti. Cuando usted
se centra exclusivamente en su oración a Dios, están
en mejores condiciones para tomar la atención
siempre hacia usted. Con mucha frecuencia, nuestra
vida espiritual se convierte en un esfuerzo personal de
los individuos involucrados, por lo que es difícil de
apreciar a nuestro maravilloso Dios con toda su
gracia, gloria, grandeza, majestad, santidad y amor.
Dedique diez minutos para centrarse simplemente en
Dios y alabarlo por lo que él es y por lo que ha hecho.
Ore un pasaje de las Escrituras como Salmo 135 o la
oración de Daniel (9:3-19). Cuando el asunto, el
objeto y la pasión de su oración es todo Dios, usted
es más capaz de sostener su vida de oración.
2. Utilice la hora de comer como su tiempo de
oración.
Una de las razones por las que se desanime acerca
de orar es porque no somos capaces de estar a la
altura de nuestras expectativas de tener un tiempo
especial, sagrado y un lugar para orar. Orando en un
momento especial en un lugar especial es, por
supuesto, una cosa maravillosa. Pero en lugar de
desanimarse acerca de no tener uno tal vez, utilice
ocasiones diarias que ya tiene para orar. La hora de
comer es una excelente oportunidad. Incluso los
padres con niños pequeños comen comidas. Tome un
minuto o dos para orar, ya sea en silencio o en voz
alta. Es posible que desee mantener una libreta
pequeña oración en la mesa, o una guía de oración
diaria, tales como la oración por las naciones.
