BETHLEHEM CENTER: A MISSION OF MERCY
For 40 days this Lent we are all working to come closer
to Jesus through increased prayer, fasting and abstaining.
By allowing ourselves to suffer, we hope to better understand and accept Jesus’ love for us all.
We are also called in this Year of Mercy to act on the
Corporal Works of Mercy. Among them are to Feed the
Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty and Clothe the Naked.
The Bethlehem Center is our Parish’s mission of mercy.
We ask that as you subject yourself to the fasting and abstaining of Lent for 40 days to perhaps take the opportunity to examine what it must feel like for those who fast and
abstain for 365 years out of the year. For some people in
our community, this is not a choice, but rather a way of
life. We have neighbors who go to bed hungry, who are
unable to clothe their children and some who have no
place to call home.
The Bethlehem Center offers our parishioners the opportunity to further build their relationship with Jesus by
working as he would for those suffering in our community.
The center offers volunteer opportunities in the kitchen,
dining hall, thrift store, food pantry and more seven days a
week. You have the chance to volunteer for as little as two
hours and it will indeed be a blessing to guests of the
Bethlehem Center.
The Center is also always in need of donations. Currently,
the center is collecting baskets and small items to create
Easter Baskets for children whose families cannot afford
the luxury this Easter.
Men’s clothing is also in short supply. The center accepts
used clothing to distribute to the homeless and low income families. Denim and other durable material are
greatly appreciated.
Lastly, the center dining hall is open daily to those in
need of a hot meal. Monetary donations keep this service
going for just $1.67/meal. In fact, a generous donation of
$25.05 provides 15 hot meals at the Bethlehem Center!
We have worked to make donating to the center simpler
through our website at www.bethcenter.org.
If you would like to schedule a time to volunteer at the
Bethlehem Center or drop off donations, call the Center at
734-1572 or stop by at 1638 N. Dinuba Blvd, Visalia 93291.
“Give generously to them and do so without a grudging
heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you
in all your work and in everything you put your hand to.”
Welcome!
We would like to extend a warm welcome to all visitors, families and friends of our community! We hope
the information in this weeks bulletin is a helpful resource. Please use the registration form on this page if
you are interested in becoming a registered parishioner. Just fill it out and drop it in the collection basket.
It’s that easy! Thank you for choosing to visit Good Shepherd Catholic Parish (formerly The Catholic Church of Visalia).

Fourth Sunday of Lent: March 6, 2016
“We must rejoice when our brother who was dead in sin repents and comes back to life,” -Luke 15:1-3, 11-32
Reflection
REPENTANCE
“We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” So says Paul in the Second Letter to the Corinthians. Isn’t this what Lent is all
about? We know that we are sinners, yet we
don’t think about it much. Lent is the time to
think about all the ways in which we have failed
to be all that we hope to be as followers of
Christ. Like the prodigal son in the Gospel, we
accept the gifts that God gives but forget the
goodness of the giver. We waste our gifts on
useless works and useless things. We can’t wait
to get to the stores on “Black Friday.” We collect
useless junk for our homes, our cars, and our
children; things that don’t contribute to our
good character, but only to our cluttered lives.
We obsess over our phones, our computers, and
our i-thingies at the expense of our face-to-face
relationships.
FORGIVENESS
“So he got up and went back to his father.
While he was still a long way off, his father
caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his son, embraced him and
kissed him.” To have seen his son a long way
off, the father must have been looking for him,
watching every day, hoping for his return. The
father was ready to forgive, love, and receive
back the son who wandered and squandered.
And so our God is with us. God’s faithful love
and compassion is always ready to forgive us, if
only we would turn back to the right way again.
As Saint Paul says, “God was reconciling the
world to [God] in Christ, not counting their trespasses against them and entrusting to us the
message of reconciliation.” In turn, we are to
welcome others into this new freedom and joy.
“So we are ambassadors for Christ, as if God
were appealing through us.”
Today’s Readings: Jos 5:9a, 10–12; Ps 34:2–3,
4–5, 6–7; 2 Cor 5:17–21; Lk 15:1–3, 11–32
2ND COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND
FOR INTERNATIONAL NEEDS
This weekend, the annual collection for International Needs
will be taken up in parishes throughout the U.S. Proceeds
benefit the Church in Latin America and Bishop’s Relief.
This year we celebrate the important milestone of 50 years of
solidarity with the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Church there faces many challenges, including lack of
access to resources the faithful need to nourish their spiritual
lives. Often, there are too few priests to meet the needs of the
many communities they serve, or the communities themselves are simply too isolated to have access to other important resources for the faith. Strategies to train and support
evangelization leaders are vital to reach those who are disconnected from the life and mission of the Church. For the
past 50 years, through the Collection for the Church in Latin
America (CLA), you have helped the Church in 25 countries in
Central and South America as well as the Caribbean to address challenges to the faith. Only with your committed support can we continue help develop evangelization and catechetical programs and fund activities that promote an encounter with Jesus Christ, so that the faithful can become
missionary disciples. Your renewed support funds several
ministries and projects that ensure the people in Latin America and the Caribbean can share their faith and strengthen
connections with members of the church community.
Each time we encounter a suffering person, we encounter
Jesus in disguise. The Catholic Relief Services Collection
(CRSC) or Bishop’s Relief, funds six Catholic agencies that
serve the disguised Jesus in our suffering brothers and sisters
around the world. His disguise might be that of those suffering from natural disaster, those displaced by violence or war,
or those migrants searching for a better life. Your support of
this collection is an opportunity to help Jesus in disguise.
With your donations, you feed Jesus’ hunger in suffering refugees… through the USCCB Department of Migration and
Refugee Services (MRS). You give water to quench Jesus’
thirst in the people of Bolivia and Ethiopia . . . through the
humanitarian work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS). Offer
legal assistance to Jesus in struggling immigrants . . . through
the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. CLINIC).
Reach out to comfort Jesus’ loneliness in isolated workers . . .
through the pastoral work of the USCCB Secretariat of Cultural Diversity in the Church. Advocate on behalf of Jesus
in the poor and abandoned . . . through the public policy
work of the USCCB Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development. Send aid to Jesus in the victims of natural disasters . . . through the Holy Father’s Relief Fund.

As a child, Mike had dreams of becoming a pharmacist just like his dad.
Mike took one year off from pharmacy studies to discern a potential calling to the priesthood at the Redemptorist seminary in St. Louis, MO. He
returned and graduated from pharmacy school in 1991 and joined his
father; working side-by-side with his
hero, mentor and friend at their family-owned pharmacy. After nearly five
years of working in the pharmacy with
his father, Mike was surprised to find
out from a friend that birth control
pills could act as abortifacients. After
much scientific research, prayer and
studying the Catholic Church's stance
on the evils of contraception, Mike
decided to approach his father with
this information to see if his dad
would agree to stop selling contraceptives. The response Mike received
from his father was a disappointing
"no". But that is only the beginning
to his amazing story, and one that
would catch national attention and
shake the country. Hear this account
of one man's triumph over the pressures of the world, being thrust into
an international spotlight, his discovery of the unconditional love between
him and his father, and the grace that
helped him stand up for what was
right, no matter the cost, by eventually stopping the sale of all contraceptives in his third-generation familyowned pharmacy. Listen as Mike encourages others to make right choices
when they are faced with challenges
in their own careers and personal
lives; challenging them to become the
person God is calling them to be, no
matter the cost. Mike lives in Grand
Rapids, Michigan with his wife and
nine children.
Please plan to join us on Thursday,
March 10. Everyone is welcome.

Catholic Schools in California - A
Stellar Past - A Robust Future
“The Mission of the Catholic school is
the integral formation of students, so
that they may be true to their condition
as Christ’s disciples and as such work
effectively for the evangelization of culture and for the common good of society.”
- St. John Paul
II
The ministry of Catholic schools is
not solely a parochial concern but a
concern and a ministry of the entire
diocese. The responsibility for maintaining, fostering and developing our
Catholic schools does not belong solely to the local parish that has a school,
nor to pastors of parishes with
schools, nor to Catholic parents with
school-aged children. Rather, this responsibility belongs to every parish,
whether having a school or not, to
every priest, whether a pastor with a
school or not, and to every Catholic
whether or not they have school-aged
children or not. Because the character
or our children is one of the core concerns of our Catholic schools, the responsibility for forming future Catholic
leaders belongs to all Catholics.
Concerned about the environment of
much of public education, the shifting
standards of society, and inadequate
moral and values instruction in public
schools, many Catholic families make
significant sacrifices to enroll their
children in a Catholic school. They appreciate, in particular, the commonality of values, the faith-inspired environment, the community atmosphere, the
supportive individual attention accorded their children, and the collaborative
relationship between parents and
teachers that the Catholic school provides. In addition, there is a genuine
concern among a growing number of
families about passing on the faith to
their children. New research from The
Center for Applied Research in the
Apostolate (CARA) looks at the millennial generation (born in 1982 or later)
of baptized Catholics, and finds that
24% reported having no religious education of any kind and 44% having
sacramental preparation only.
Statistically, those who never attended a Catholic school are more likely to
leave the Church after becoming an
adult, even if they attended Mass regularly with their families during their
formative years. By contrast, religious
commitment during childhood and
the teenage years, if reinforced by attending a Catholic school, is directly
correlated to remaining lifelong members of the Church (CARA, 2014). Of
those who never attended a Catholic
school, only 5% continued to attend
Mass on a regular basis after reaching
maturity, compared to 34% of those
who attended a Catholic elementary
school and 39% who attended a Catholic high school. Of this same group,
66% of those who never attended a
Catholic school received the sacrament of Confirmation, compared to
82% of those who attended a Catholic
elementary school and 91% of those
who attended a Catholic high school.

Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma: 6 de Marzo de 2016
“Debemos celebrar cuando nuestro hermano se arrepiente y vuelve a la vida” -Lucas 15:1-3
Reflexión
ARREPENTIMIENTO
La segunda carta de Pablo a los corintios dice “En nombre
de Cristo les pedimos que se reconcilien con Dios”. ¿Y acaso
no es esto de lo que se trata la Cuaresma? Sabemos que
somos pecadores, pero aún así no pensamos mucho acerca
de eso. La Cuaresma es el tiempo en que pensamos en
aquellos momentos y circunstancias en las que como
seguidores de Cristo hemos fallado en hacer la voluntad de
Dios. Como el hijo prodigo del Evangelio, aceptamos los
dones que Dios nos da pero olvidamos su bondad.
Desperdiciamos nuestros dones tanto haciendo como en
cosas que no valen la pena. Estamos desesperados por que
llegue el viernes después del Día de Acción de Gracias para ir
corriendo a las tiendas. Guardamos objetos inútiles para
nuestras casas, nuestros automóviles y nuestros hijos; cosas
que no ayudan a formar nuestro carácter ni temperamento,
sino que solamente crean caos en nuestras vidas. Estamos
obsesionados con nuestros teléfonos inteligentes, nuestras
computadoras, y nuestras “i-cosas” a expensas de nuestras
relaciones cara a cara.
PERDÓN
“Se puso en camino hacia la casa de su padre. Estaba
todavía lejos, cuando su padre lo vio y se enterneció
profundamente. Corrió hacia él, y echándole los brazos al
cuello, lo cubrió de besos”. Sabiendo que su hijo estaba muy
lejos, el padre debió de haber estado buscando por él,
mirando todos los días, esperando a que regresara. El padre
estaba listo para perdonar, amar y recibir a su hijo de regreso
quien andaba desperdiciando su herencia y vagando en el
mundo. Y así nuestro Dios está con nosotros. La compasión y
el amor fiel de Dios están siempre listos para perdonarnos, si
solo nosotros tomáramos la decisión de cambiar la dirección
y dirigirnos hacia la correcta. Como san Pablo dice: “En
Cristo, Dios reconcilió al mundo consigo y renunció a tomar
en cuenta los pecados de los hombres, y a nosotros nos
confió el mensaje de la reconciliación”. A su vez, debemos
dar la bienvenida a los demás a esta nueva libertad y alegría.
“Somos embajadores de Cristo, y por nuestro medio, es Dios
mismo el que los exhorta a ustedes”.
March 25 Novena a la divina misericordia: La sociedad guadalupana, les invita a rezar la novena a la
divina misericordia en la parroquia la sagrada familia.
Empezara el viernes santo (marzo 25) a las 6:00 p.m.
Los esperamos. Recuerden que este es el ano de la
misericordia. Jesus dijo. Sean misericordiosos, como mi
padre es misericordioso.

25 de Marzo la Solemnidad de la Anunciación del
Señor: En marzo 25, conmemoramos la Solemnidad
de la Anunciación del Señor. Durante este sagrado
encuentro, tan pronto como la Virgen María dio su
consentimiento al Misterio de la Encarnación al Arcángel Gabriel, “el Espíritu Santo, ‘Señor y dador de vida,’
es enviado para santificar el vientre de la Virgen Maria
y divinamente fertilizada, concibió el Hijo eterno del
Padre en una humanidad extraída de su propio ser.”
Así, la Encarnación del Hijo de Dios se hizo realidad.
(Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica #s 973, 485 y 461 respectivamente.)
Sometiéndose a merced de su criatura durante nueve
meses, Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios, quiso volverse en un
bebe nonato indefenso, sin voz; viviendo dentro del
vientre de María antes de nacer en la pobreza terrenal.
(Lucas 1:31) Por lo tanto, llegamos a la conclusión que
la matriz es la parte más sagrada del cuerpo de una
mujer porque Dios mismo habitó en ella. María se
convirtió en el tabernáculo humano para el pan vivo
que ha bajado del cielo. (Juan 66.51) Nosotros
también nos convertimos en un tabernáculo humano
en la Sagrada Comunión después de recibir a Jesucristo, la hostia sagrada que ha sido consagrada durante la
Santa Misa. (CCC# 1413)
María es el Arca de la Alianza, (Apocalipsis 11:1912:1-2, CCC# 2676), quien es la Mediadora de todas las
Gracias porque a través de su consentimiento, Jesucristo, quien es verdadero Dios, existente a través de toda
la eternidad, entró en el tiempo y ser convirtió en
verdadero hombre en el vientre de la Virgen María. La
fuente de toda gracia pasó a través de la Mediadora de
todas las gracias. (CCC# 2676, 969)
María nos invita a tomar y comer el Santísimo Sacramento, su Hijo, que es verdadero Hombre y verdadero
Dios, y adorar a Él en su presencia real.
En este extraordinario Año del Jubileo de la Misericordia, y al meditar nosotros en los Misterios Gozosos
del santo rosario, podamos estar obligados a pedir a
Dios Nuestro Padre, en el nombre de Jesucristo su Hijo,
y a través de la intercesión de la Virgen María para que
aumente nuestra fe y gratitud en la Encarnación del
Hijo de Dios a quien recibimos en la Misa durante la
Sagrada Comunión.
