Treasures From Our Tradition The wonderful diversity of life and wor-ship among Roman Catholics of East and West is an example of God writing straight with crooked lines. The steady hand of the villainous Emperor Diocletian drew a line across Europe and Africa that split the empire in two, and for the most part determined how Christians would worship two thousand years later. Italy’s heel and the far northern city of Trieste fell on the Eastern side, and have had a form of Eastern liturgy ever since. Constan-tinople, which soon became the seat of the Roman Empire, became a base for Christian-izing the East up to Russia and Poland. Po-land was on the Eastern side, but a series of wars and medieval mayhem pushed the reli-gious boundary back to the Ukraine, and Po-land remains an outpost of the Latin Church to this day. An old rule of thumb declared that what-ever religion was observed by the local prince, the people had to follow. This gave rise to persecution and migration as people sought toleration for their expressions of faith. In the United States, we are accus-tomed to peaceful collaboration among Chris-tians of East and West, a situation that chal-lenges churches that still feel the pinch of age-old division.

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe

Hay quienes quieren negar los derechos de los inmigrantes latinos que llegan a los Estados Unidos en busca de una vida mejor. Esta injusticia es extraña ya que los hispanos llegamos al territorio estadounidense en 1513, 73 años antes de la llegada de los primeros anglosajones. Estos fueron Ponce de León y compañeros quienes buscaban una mejor vida en la famosa fuente de la juventud. Eventualmente los hispanos deja-ron de buscar la ilusoria fuente y en 1565 en la fiesta de san Agustín (28 de Agosto), Pe-dro Menéndez de Avilés fundó la primera ciudad en Florida. Gracias a su santo patrón esta ciudad ha podido sobrevivir ataques de invasores britá-nicos y piratas, amenazas de huracanes y tempestades para convertirse en la ciudad más vieja de la Unión Americana. ¿Pero quien fue este santo? Agustín, fue un obispo africano, quien después de una vida desor-denada se convirtió en uno de los santos mas importantes de la Iglesia, gracias a las oraciones continuas de su madre santa Mó-nica. Nunca debemos menospreciar el poder de las oraciones de una madre por sus hijos.

His purpose is to challenge us to a renewal of our priestly commitments and service. Approxi-mately 350 priests will assemble and spend several days of prayer and fellowship, hear input from a num-ber of speakers, and engage in discussions. We ask that you keep us in your prayer during these days. I will be away Mon., Aug. 26-Fri., Aug. 29. During those days, Mass will be scheduled as usual.

Father Manuel Leon Bravo

Estimados Feligreses, El Arzobispo José Gómez convocó una reunión con todos los Sacerdotes que pertenecen a la Ar-quidiócesis de Los Ángeles. Su propósito es retarnos a una renovación de nuestros compromisos y ser-vicios Sacerdotales. Aproximadamente 350 Sacer-dotes se reunirán y pasarán varios días de oración y comunión, escucharán las opiniones de varios ora-dores y participarán en debates. Les pido que nos mantenga en sus oraciónes durante estos días. Es-taré fuera el Lunes 26 de Agosto al Viernes 29 de Agosto. Durante esos días, misa sera programará como de costumbre.

Oppose SB 24 Novena to stop further abortion expansion in CA Senate Bill24 would create a fund for UCs and CSUs to provide medical abortions in their student health centers. We op-pose this bill knowing that abortion ends the life of a de-veloping child in the womb and leaves psychological scars for the mother. Our college students do not want abortion! Instead of abortion, the legislature should focus on serving the 26% of college students who are parenting to achieve their educational dreams. California students deserve bet-ter than abortion. Join our statewide novena to stop abor-tion expansion in California : https://angelusnews.com/sb24 Novena en contra de la propuesta de ley que ampliará el acceso al aborto en California El proyecto de ley SB 24 creara un fondo para que universidades estatales (UC y CSU) puedan proporcionar abortos médicos en sus cen-tros de salud universitarios. Nos oponemos a esta ley reconociendo que el aborto acaba con la vida del bebe que se desarrolla en el vientre materno y deja consecuen-cias psicológicas en la madre. ¡Nuestros estudiantes uni-versitarios no quieren el aborto! En lugar de enfocarse en el aborto, la legislatura debería apoyar al 26% de los estu-diantes universitarios, que son padres de familia a lograr sus sueños educativos. Los estudiantes de California merecen algo mejor que el aborto. Participe en nuestra novena en contra de la propuesta de ley que ampliará el aborto en California.

DID YOU KNOW? Keep an Eye Out During Social Events at School and Church Now that your children are getting ready to head back to school, it’s a good time to re-familiarize yourself with the school or church property. Keep a special lookout for any rooms or areas where supervision is low, and where a predator could take a child without being noticed. During school events, these are the plac-es to watch. You should also take note of any locked doors, areas under bleachers or in stairwells, or anywhere else suspi-cious. Child safety should be a priority for all events. Learn more from the VIRTUS® article “Premises Safety… Always a High Priority” at http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.

¿SABÍA QUE? Esté atento a los eventos sociales en la escuela y en la iglesia Ahora que sus hijos se están preparan-do para regresar a la escuela, es un buen momento para familiarizarse de nuevo con la propiedad de la escuela o la iglesia. Mantenga una vigilancia especial de cualquier habitación o área donde exista poca supervisión y donde un dep-redador pueda llevar a un niño sin que alguien lo note. Durante los eventos es-colares, estos son los lugares que se deben supervisar. También debe tomar nota de las puertas cerradas, áreas debajo de las gradas de un estadio esco-lar o en las escaleras, o en cualquier otro lugar sospechoso. La seguridad infantil debe ser una prioridad en todos los even-tos escolares. Obtenga más información en el artículo de VIRTUS®“Premises Safety… Always a High Priori-ty” (Seguridad de las instalaciones ... Siempre una alta prioridad) en http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.

Welcome the Stranger We have become accustomed to seeing pictures in the media and sto-ries on the news about immigrants from Latin America and refugees from Syria fleeing violence and destruction in their own countries, trying to make their way to a safe place. We have also seen the reactions of people who want to keep them away from their coun-tries, who fail to welcome the stranger and the helpless children. Have we forgotten Jesus’ call to comfort the homeless and the stranger? “They shall bring all your brothers and sisters from all the nations . . . to Jerusalem, my holy mountain, says the LORD.” In the three readings for this day, we are told that we are to welcome these strangers, to welcome the disci-pline of the Lord, which leads to peace, and to “strive to enter through the narrow gate” into the glory of God’s own homeland, the reign of God. De la Bienvenida al Extranjero Ya casi nos hemos acostumbrado a ver fotografías en las redes sociales e historias en los periódicos de inmigran-tes latinoamericanos y refugiados sirios escapando de la violencia y la destruc-ción de sus propios países, intentando hacer una vida mejor en un lugar más seguro. También nos ha tocado ver las reacciones de las personas que inten-tan mantenerlas lejos de sus países, que se oponen a ayudar a los extranje-ros y a los niños indefensos. ¿Se nos ha olvidado la enseñanza de Jesús de ayudar a los desamparados y a los ex-tranjeros? “Traerán todos a sus herma-nos y hermanas de todas las naciones . . . a Jerusalén, a mi monte santo, dice el Señor”. En las tres lecturas de hoy, se nos dice que debemos ser hospitalarios con los extranjeros, dar la bienvenida a los discípulos del Señor, lo cual nos lleva a la paz, y a “entrar por la puerta que es angosta” a la gloria del reino de Dios.
