As for me and my household,
we will serve the LORD.
— Joshua 24:15b
KEEPING OUR COMMITMENTS
In the musical Fiddler on the Roof, the husband,
Tevye, whose marriage was arranged years and
years before, wants to know if his wife really loves
him. Was their marriage just an arrangement, a
deal? Did his wife, after all these years, ever love
him? Does she still?
We need to know if our loving commitments
stick. We need to be reminded and reaffirmed. In
the first reading, Joshua, Moses’ successor, needed
to know if the people would remain faithful to their
covenant with the Lord. Joshua was going to lead
them to a new life—a settled life. Would they be
faithful?
Jesus, who identified himself as the very life of
his disciples’ life, needed to know: Will you also go
away or will you stay? We do not often see Jesus
this vulnerable. Peter and the apostles chose to
stay. What will we do?

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The ministry of permanent deacons has become
an essential part of our parish life today, yet for
centuries until 1967, this deeply traditional ministry
had virtually disappeared. Every priest had first to be
ordained a deacon, but the notion that one could
actually embrace a permanent vocation to the
diaconate was lost.
The primary ministry of the deacon is to the
welfare of the community, especially its poor, and
his role in sacraments and preaching flows from
that. His principal role is to animate and promote the
ministry of all the faithful. Ninety percent of
permanent deacons are married, although the
discipline of celibacy for clerics means that if a
deacon is widowed, normally he cannot remarry, nor
can an unmarried deacon marry once ordained. The
deacon does not preside at Mass nor may he
absolve sins. Nor, since anointing of the sick is
linked theologically to penance, may he anoint.
Sometimes we are slow to engage with a
tradition: Trent approved permanent deacons in the
1560s, but nothing was done until the 1960s. The
vitality of the long‑delayed restoration has greatly
enriched the Church, particularly in the United
States, where the majority of the deacons in the
world serve.

YEAR OF CONSECRATED LIFE – Priests, Brothers, Sisters
POPE FRANCIS, announced the Year of Consecrated Life, to be celebrated by the
Universal Church, and to be observed from November 30, 2014- through February
2, 2016. Catholics are able to receive an indulgence , under the usual conditions ,
of receiving the sacraments of Penance, and Eucharist and praying for the
intentions of the Holy Father.
This is a time for parishioners to thank the Priests, Sisters and Brothers who have
dedicated their lives to the work of the Church, through their religious
vocation. Through their vocations, they have served the Church in various capacities, in parishes, schools,
mission fields, hospitals, orphanages, colleges etc etc.
This is an opportunity to demonstrate gratitude to the Priests who serve faithfully, at Mary, Star of the Sea each
week, along with the guiding hands of our Pastor, Father James Rafferty. Rev. Msgr. Lloyd Bourgeois, Rev.
Michael Ortiz, Rev. David Ungerleider, SJ.
Take a moment to send them a note of gratitude for their service to us and the Church throughout their lives, and
continue to pray that they may enjoy the beauty of their gift of vocation. Pray also, for many more vocations of
love and service, within the Diocese of San Diego, and the Universal Church.

Faith Formation
http://www.marystarfaithformation.org
Children K - 6; Teen Confirmation Process
Pope Francis recently said, “going to Mass
brings the grace of Jesus Christ to each of our
celebrations...since it is in the Eucharist that we
encounter his presence, love and sacrifice. The
Eucharistic celebration is Jesus’ way of being
with us and forming us into a community.”
Children learn from their parents how to live out
their faith, how to experience Christ in
community. Have you been to Mass lately?
What did you hear?
How will you share what you heard?
Adult Faith Formation

study of Scripture and Tradition. What does the

Vigésimo Primer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Vigésimo Premir Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

En cuanto a mí toca, mi familia y yo
serviremos al Señor. Josué 24:15b
GUARDANDO NUESTROS COMPROMISOS
En la obra musical El violinista en el tejado, el
esposo, Tevye, cuyo matrimonio había sido
planificado por otros muchos años atrás, quiere
saber si su esposa de veras lo ama. ¿Fue su
matrimonio solamente un arreglo, un contrato?
Después de tantos años, ¿llegó su mujer a
quererlo? ¿Lo quiere todavía?
Necesitamos saber si nuestros compromisos
son duraderos. Necesitamos que nos lo recuerden y
reafirmen. En la primera lectura, Josué, el sucesor
de Moisés, necesitaba saber si el pueblo iba a
mantenerse fiel a su alianza con el Señor. Josué iba
a llevarlos a una nueva vida –una vida estable.
¿Serían fieles?
Jesús, habiéndose identificado como la fuente
de vida de sus discípulos, necesitaba saber.
¿Ustedes van a irse también o van a quedarse?
Pocas veces vemos a Jesús tan vulnerable. Pedro y
los apóstoles escogieron quedarse. ¿Qué vamos a
hacer nosotros?

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Cuando Jesús dice que hay que comer su cuerpo
y beber su sangre (Juan 6:55), los cristianos
católicos, literalmente, seguimos sus palabras. En
esto somos muy fundamentalistas: cuando Jesús
dice que el pan es su cuerpo y el vino es su sangre,
lo creemos de todo corazón (1 Corintios 11:24-25).
Para los católicos, nuestra fe y estilo de vida están
basados en la consagración del pan y vino en el
Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo.
La Iglesia primitiva reconocía con tristeza que no
todos los que querían seguir a Jesús podían aceptar
la realidad de su cuerpo y sangre. Por eso, Juan el
evangelista dice que muchos abandonaron a Jesús
cuando éste les habló del sagrado convite (Juan 6:60
-69). De la muchedumbre que le seguía, poquísimos
continuaron
con
él.
Quienes
siguieron
acompañándolo reconocían que Jesús tiene palabras
de vida eterna. Esta verdad la vemos reflejada en la
celebración de la misa, pues del Pan de la Palabra
pasamos al Pan Eucarístico. Escuchamos su Palabra
para luego comer su Cuerpo y beber su Sangre a fin
de tener vida eterna.
