Administrator’s Corner The Nativity Of The Lord (Christmas), December 25, 2016

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Infant Jesus!

Merry Christmas In the great spirit of peace and joy as we celebrate the Birthday of Our Lord and Savior, together with Father Wayne, Father Agustin, Deacon Dong, Deacon Rafael, Sister Francesca, and Mrs. Alvarado, we would like to wish all of you, all councils, Spanish, Vietnamese and Filipino ministries, organizations, groups, benefactors, staff, and the entire parish, Church & School, a blessed peace and a joyful Christmas! May the Infant Jesus dwell in your hearts and in your homes. I want to take this joyful time to also express our deepest appreciation to all of you for your love, generosity, prayer and support of our parish throughout the year. I hope that in the coming New Year 2017, you will continue to be more generous in your financial support so we can build the Pastoral Center and remodel the existing hall, kitchen and offices soon. With gratitude in Christ, Fr. Bao

Continuation from last week Fr. Agustin’s Letter

St. Augustine in his Book of Confessions wrote, “You made us to yourself and our hearts rest in you.” It is up to each of us to look for that rest, that rest that we can find in Him alone. St. Augustine continues, “How shall I find rest in you? Who will send you into my heart to flood it, that I may forget my woes and embrace you my only God. The house of my soul is narrow, enlarge it that you may enter. It is in ruins, repair it.” (Confessions 1:5). “Late have I loved you, O Beauty, ever ancient and ever new. Late have I loved you! You were with me, but I was outside seeking there for you, and upon the lovely things you have made. You were with me but I was not with you. They held me back far from you, those things that would have no being, they were not in you. You called, shouted, and broke through my deafness. You flared, blazed and banished my blindness. You lavished your fragrance. I gasped and now I pant for you. I tasted you and now I hunger and thirst for more. You touched me and I burned for your peace”. (Confessions 19, 26, 37:29, 40). Let us then accept Jesus’ invitation to come and rest in Him alone as the most powerful way to face and accept peacefully whatever comes to us in our daily journey. But how to rest in Him without having a daily time of prayer and meditation? Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation. The best way to control our “monkey minds.” It was rediscovered by Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by Him as a uni-versal remedy for human ills. This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities in order to get full liberation. So, as a Catholic Priest, I make use of the powerful tool of meditation to surrender myself into God’s hands. It is during this meditation, God cleanses my mind and purifies my heart making me to his own image little by little.

Merry Christmas and Health and Mental Peace in 2017

La Natividad del Señor (Navidad), 25 de diciembre de 2016

Continuación de la semana pasada…..

Carta de Navidad del Padre Agustín Es a través de la oración y de la meditación diaria como Dios nos da paz, sabiduría, fortaleza y fe para enfren-tar la que se nos venga encima. Él nos da su gracia para enfrentar la vida, el envejecimiento la enfermedad y la muerte en paz y con gozo interior. Sin una firme determinación y disciplina en la oración y meditación diaria no nos es posible “crecer fuertes en el Señor, con la fuerza de su poder” (Ef. 6:10). Esa es “la armadura de Dios que nos hace fuertes ante los desánimos que nos presenta el maligno. En nuestra iglesia Católica, ni aún en los seminarios se nos ensena a meditar. Tú ve la suerte de aprender en la India dos tipos de meditación: Zen y Vipassana. Normalmente practico la meditación Vipassana, método abierto a toda persona sin distinto de fe o religión. He encontrado este tipo de meditación como la mejor ma-nera de aquietar y controlar “la mente loca” como dice Santa Teresa De Jesús. Napoleón Bonaparte, Empera-dor Francés, decía que conquistar países es muy fácil, comparado con el control de la mente que es la batalla mas difícil de conquistar, pues todos tenemos una mente como un árbol lleno de changos brincando, aun en la misa y la oración, de lo bueno a lo malo, del pasado al futuro, de lo divino a lo diabólico. Jesús nos invita a venir a Él y a descansar con Él: “Vengan a mi todos los que están cansados y agotados y yo les daré descanso” (Mateo 11:28). La oración y la meditación Vipassana han sido para mi la manera mas poderosa para descansar en Dios en me-dio de mis dificultades humanas, ayudándome a ver las cosas como son, sin dejarme llevar por “la mente lo-ca” y llena de changos y aceptar en paz, con fe y con gozo la realidad de cada día. San Agustín, en su libro, De Las Confesiones, escribió: “Señor, tú nos hiciste para Ti y nuestro corazón andu-viera inquieto, sin descanso, hasta que descansemos en Ti”. Depende de cada uno buscar ese descanso en Dios cada día, descanso que solo podemos encontrar solo en Él! Dice San Agustín: “Como encontraremos descanso en Ti? Quien nos enviara a Ti en nuestros corazones para inundarlos de Ti, de tal manera que olvidemos de “nuestro enemigos” y to abracemos a Ti, nuestro único Dios? La casa de mi alma es estrecha, agrándala para que tu puedas entrar. Esta en ruinas, repára-la” (Confesiones 1:5). Tarde te ame oh hermosura siempre antigua y siempre nueva. Tarde te ame! Tú estabas dentro de mi, pero yo te buscaba por fuera amando las cosas que tú has hecho. Tú estabas conmigo, pero yo no estaba contigo. Ellas me retenían lejos de Ti, esas cosas que no llegarían a existir, si no estuvieran en Ti. Tú llamaste, gritaste y rompiste mi sordera. Tú quemaste, encendiste y aboliste mi ceguera. Tu derramaste tu fragancia, yo la inhale y ahora suspiro por Ti. Yo fe probé y ahora estoy hambriento y sediento de mas. Tú me tocaste y me encendiste de Tú paz.” (Confesiones 19, 26, 37). Aceptemos pues, como San Agustín, la invitación de Jesús de venir a descansar en Él, como la manera más poderosa de aceptar y enfrentar con fe y en paz las cosas que se nos vengan encima al finalizar este 2016 y empezar el 2017 según la voluntad de Dios. Pero como descansar en Él sin venir a Él mañana y noche? La meditación Vipassana, que significa ver las co-sas como son, no como “la mente loca” las imagina, es una de las técnicas mas antiguas de La India. Fue re-descubierta por Buda hace más de 2500 años y fue enseñada por el como remedio universal para todos los ma-les humanos. Es un técnica abierta para todos y apunta a la erradicación de toda impureza mental en orden de alcanzar la liberación de esos males. Es durante esta meditación que Dios limpia mi mente y purifica mi cora-zón!

Feliz Navidad y Salud y Paz Mental en el 2017

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS (QCD’S)

FROM AN IRA

If you are over 70 1/2 and taking distri-butions from an IRA, you may want to consider making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

QCD’s can be counted towards satisfying your re-quired minimum distributions (RMD’s) for the year.

A QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact on certain tax credits and deduc-tions, including Social Security and Medicare.

Please consult your tax advisor to determine if making a QCD to St. Cecilia is appropriate for your situation.
