From the Pastor’s Laptop
Killed by the hands of lawless men
Father Mark Wagner
“No one takes it from
me, but I lay it down on
my own. I have power to
lay it down, and power to
take it up again” (John
10:18). With these words
Jesus reveals Himself as
the divine master with power over life
and death. His executioners “would
have no power over him” if He did not
allow it (John 19:11). Jesus was the Good
Shepherd who freely laid down His life
for His sheep. But of course we know
that Jesus did not commit suicide. He
was killed by “the hands of lawless
men.” (Acts 2:23). He put Himself into
the hands of sinful humanity and we
killed Him. “Like a gentle lamb he was
led to the slaughter and opened not his
mouth” (Isaiah 53:7).
There are many forms of devotion to
Jesus. We honor Him as the “Lamb of
God,” as “Good Shepherd,” the “Sacred
Heart,” and the “Divine Mercy.” One of
the most ancient devotions was to Christ
the divine physician.
Jesus was
described by St. Augustine and many
early Christians as “Christus Medicus,”
the doctor who has power to heal both
body and soul.
When I visit the hospital it often
happens that the patients (or the
Catholic nurses) mistakenly call me
“doctor” instead of “father.” This is
flattering because it shows that they
respect the authority of both doctors and
of priests. But it also shows that
subconsciously they think of the priest
as a spiritual healer like Jesus the
Divine Physician.
I am very sad that in California the
reputation of doctors may soon be
tarnished by the legalization of Physician
-Assisted Suicide (Senate Bill
128).
People will think of doctors as
having medicine in one hand and poison
in the other hand. They will no longer be
thought of first of all as men who “do no
harm” (Hippocratic Oath). Perhaps that
is why SB 128 is opposed by most
physicians and by organizations such as
the American Medical Association, the
World Health Organization, the
American College of Physicians, the
National Hospice and the American
Cancer Society. Most doctors still want
to uphold the original Hippocratic Oath,
written in the 4th Century BC: “I will
take care that they suffer no hurt or
damage. Nor shall any man's entreaty
prevail upon me to administer poison to
anyone; neither will I counsel any man to
do so. Moreover, I will give no sort of
medicine to any pregnant woman, with a
view to destroy the child.”
We must uphold laws that reassure
the terminally ill that they are loved and
that they are not a burden and that we
want them with us. We do not have
power over life and death. Only God has
that power.
Please learn how to voice your opposition to SB128 by visiting the bishop’s
website (www.cacatholic.org) and
clicking on “Catholic Legislative
Network.”

Respect Life
“All too often, as we know from experience, people do not choose life, they do not accept the ‘Gospel of
Life’ but let themselves be led by ideologies and ways of thinking that block life, that do not respect life,
because they are dictated by selfishness, self-interest, profit, power and pleasure, and not by love, by
concern for the good of others.
…As a result, the living God is replaced by fleeting human idols which offer the intoxication of a flash of
freedom, but in the end bring new forms of slavery and death.”
— from Pope Francis’ homily at Mass for ‘Evangelium Vitae Day’ June 16, 2013

New to the Parish? Wondering where to start??
Estela Claros has been a St. Joseph’s
parishioner for 15 years and a Minister of
Holy Communion for the 1:30 Mass for
the same amount of time. She is also a
member of our Spanish Charismatic
Prayer group.
Estela remembers that as she was
growing up, she saw in her mother a
good example of discipleship. She says:
“In our little town in Mexico, my mother
was a catechist. She used to teach the
children and prepared them for First
Holy Communion. At home too, she
would gather us all every day to pray
the rosary. I learned to pray the rosary
from her and up to the present day it is
one of my favorite prayers. It keeps the
family united.”
Estela feels grateful towards God for
her life and all the members of her
family. She also feels grateful because
when her family came to the United
States, many doors where opened for
them. She now gives back to God by
helping ot her needy famili es
financially, when she is able to, and
spiritually so they can get to know God
and be able to live a better life. She also
invites people to pray in front of Jesus in
the Adoration chapel.
Estela says, “The Eucharist is God’s
greatest gift to us. At the beginning I
used to feel unworthy to serve as a
Minister of Holy Communion, but at the
same time the Eucharist was like a
magnet that kept pulling on me until I
fell in love with it. Visit Him in
Adoration, He will give you the strength
and desire to serve”.

DEL LAPTOP DEL PÁRROCO, Padre Mark
Matado por las manos de infieles
Padre Mark Wagner
“Nadie me la quita, sino que la doy
por mí mismo. Tengo el poder de darla y
de recobrarla.” (Juan 10:18) Con estas
palabras, Jesús se revela como el maestro
divino con poder sobre la vida y la
muerte. Sus verdugos “no tendrán ningún
autoridad sobre Él” si Él no lo permitiera
(Juan 19:11). Jesús fue el Buen Pastor que
libremente dio su vida por sus
ovejas. Pero, claro, sabemos que Jesús no
cometió suicidio. Fue matado por “las
manos de infieles.” (Hechos 2:23). Él se
puso en las manos de la humanidad
picador y lo matamos. “Como un cordero
muda ante el que le esquila, él no abría
su boca.” (Isaías 53:7).
Hay muchas formas de devoción a
Jesús. Le honramos como el “Cordero de
Dios,” como “Buen Pastor,” el “Sagrado
Corazón” y la “Divina Misericordia.” Una
de las devociones más ancianas fue a
Cristo como el médico divino. Jesús fue
descrito por San Agustín y muchos
cristianos tempranos como “Christus
Medicus”, el doctor que tiene el poder de
sanar el cuerpo y el alma.
Cuando yo visito el hospital, suele
pasar que los pacientes (o los enfermeros
católicos) me llaman equivocadamente
“doctor” en vez de “Padre.” Eso es
elogioso porque demuestra el respeto
que tienen para la autoridad de los
doctores y los sacerdotes. Pero demuestra
también que inconscientemente piensan
en el sacerdote como un sanador spiritual
como Jesús, el médico divino.
Estoy muy triste que en California la
reputación de los doctores puede estar
muy pronto manchado con la
legalización de suicidio asistido por
médicos (la Propuesta de Ley del Senado
Estatal 128). Todos pensarán que los
doctores tienen la medicina en una mano
y el veneno en la otra. Ya no se pensará
en ellos como hombres que “no hacen
ningún daño” (el juramento
hipocrático). Tal vez por eso la mayoría
de los médicos y otras organizaciones
como la Asociación Médica Americana,
la Organización Mundial de la Salud, el
Colegio Americano de Médicos,
Hospicio Nacional, y la Sociedad
Americana del Cáncer están todos
opuestos al SB 128. Muchos doctores
todavía querrán mantener el Juramento
Hipocrático original escrito en cuatro
siglos antes de Cristo: “Apartaré de ellos
todo daño e injusticia. Jamás daré a nadie
medicamento mortal, por mucho que me
soliciten, ni tomaré iniciativa alguna de
este tipo. Tampoco administraré abortivo
a mujer alguna.”
Debemos de mantener las leyes que
reconfortan a los desahuciados que son
amados y que no son ninguna carga
pesada, y que los queremos con
nosotros. No tenemos el poder sobre la
vida y la muerte. Sólo Dios tiene ese
poder.
Por favor, aprenda cómo expresar su
oposición a SB128 al visitar el sitio del
Internet de los obispos de California

CORRESPONSABILIDAD
(STEWARDSHIP)
Por: Rosario Hernandez
Jesus el Buen Pastor
Padre Hamilton Suarez
El Buen pastor ha sido una imagen
muy querida por los cristianos desde los
primeros tiempos. Lo encontramos dibujado en las catacumbas de Domitila ya en el
siglo I, y desde entonces ha sido un motivo
recurrente del arte Cristiano. El tiempo
pascual que estamos viviendo nos ayuda a
comprender mejor su significado.
Debemos centrar nuestra atención en
la manera como el discurso del Buen Pastor, califica a Jesús, como el pastor ideal,
modelo de los pastores, es decir de los
guías espirituales y políticos del rebaño de
Israel, en este caso contraponiéndose a la
figura del líder de la comunidad que es
asalariado. El diferente modo de proceder
de cada uno permite distinguir entre el
verdadero pastor y el asalariado. El primero no huye cuando llega el peligro, no
abandona el rebaño, mientras que el segundo, actúa por su interés personal, solo
tiene en cuenta salvar su propia vida y sus
intereses.
Jesús es el Buen Pastor que acompaña
ahora a su Iglesia. Una de las cosas que
más llama la atención de las Palabras de
Jesús es que su rebaño no es como los demás. Si todo rebaño existe para el sustento
del pastor, aquí es el pastor el que garantiza el bien de las ovejas. El buen pastor
que es Jesús llega incluso a ofrecer su
vida no solo a través del trabajo diario,
sino a través de la muerte aceptada por
sus ovejas. El da la vida por las ovejas.
Ofrece su vida para librarlas de los lobos
y de todo peligro. Esta es otra característica del verdadero Pastor.
TODOS SOMOS LLAMADOS A
RECIBIR LA VIDA QUE EL BUEN
PASTOR OFRECE POR NOSOTROS, si
queremos dejarnos conducir por El a una
relación de conocimiento-comunión de
amor, podremos descubrir ya desde ahora, la maravilla de ser hijos del Padre y
nos encontraremos semejantes a Él en la
eternidad. Esta Palabra escuchada este
domingo es un fuerte llamado a no endurecer nuestro corazón, descartando la
piedra angular: Cristo, es la única salvación verdadera del hombre, pongamos
nuestros pasos en sus huellas seguras.
Jesús huésped divino y mendigo del
amor a la puerta del corazón humano,
haz que nada nos resulte más dulce, nada
más deseable, que caminar contigo y
morar en Ti.

ABRIL ES EL MES DE LA PREVENCIÓN CONTRA EL ABUSO INFANTIL- EL
PREVENIR EL ABUSO INFANTIL ES NUESTRA RESPONSABILIDAD.
La responsabilidad moral de cada adulto es llamar a las autoridades para proteger a
las víctimas si se sospecha de algún abuso o negligencia hacia los menores. El abuso
sexual es un problema social y solo será identificado si se hace un esfuerzo por ayudar
a prevenirlo. Para obtener información de como reportar un abuso llame a la
coordinación del ambiente en su parroquia.
COMO REPORTAR UNA QUEJA O ALEGACIÓN DE ABUSO SEXUAL EN LA
DIÓCESIS DE STOCKTON
La Diócesis de Stockton toma todas las quejas de abuso sexual seriamente y trata
dichas alegaciones con confiabilidad y prontitud de una manera compasiva y
considerada hacia todos los que están involucrados.
Estela Claros
Estela Claros ha sido Ministro de
la Santa Comunión por 15 años en St.
Joseph’s. También es miembro del
grupo de Oración Carismática. Estela
recuerda que cuando estaba pequeña,
vio en su mamá un buen ejemplo del
discipulado. Estela dice, “En mi
pueblito de México, mi mamá era
catequista. Ella le enseñaba a los niños
y los preparaba para recibir su Primera
Comunión. En mi casa también, todos
los días nos juntaba a todos para rezar
el rosario. De ella aprendí yo a rezar el
rosario y hasta el presente, es una de
mis oraciones favoritas. Ayuda a
mantener a la familia unida.”
Estela se siente agradecida hacia
Dios por su vida y todos los miembros
de su familia. También se siente
agradecida porque cuando su familia
llegó a los E.U. se les abrieron muchas
puertas. Ella ahora en agradecimiento
a Dios, ayuda a familias necesitadas,
monetariamente cuando puede y
espiritualmente para que puedan vivir
una vida mejor.
También los invita a rezar frente al
Santísimo en la Capilla de Adoración.
Estala dice, “La Eucaristía es el más
grande regalo de Dios para nosotros.
En el principio me sentía indigna de
servir como ministro de la Comunión,
pero al mismo tiempo la Eucaristía era
como un imán que me jalaba hasta que
me enamoré de ella. Visiten a Jesús en
la capilla de Adoración, él les dará la
fuerza y el deseo de servir”.
Para hacer una queja de abuso sexual contra cualquier persona que actué en nombre

de Asistencia para Victimas al (209) 466-0636, extensión 604, o escriba a: 212 N San
Joaquin Street, Stockton, CA 95202, escriba “Confidencial” y diríjala al Coordinador.
