Please keep in your prayers all those
who are affected by the wildfires - for those who have
lost their homes, been evacuated, or stand in harm’s way. We also
pray for firefighters, that they
may be granted the patience,
strength, and stamina needed
to sustain them during the long
hours and fatigue.
May God watch over them and keep them safe.

Landings Program
Our own Jim Braebeck is very much in the news
these days. He was named the Agribusiness Person of the
Year at the Midstate Fair with many accolades for his years
of service to the agriculture industry. That was followed by
an insert in the Tribune dedicated to more accolades about
Jim’s long and successful career with Farm Supply as well as
his service on many boards and committees.
At Old Mission, we know Jim in another role as a faithful
communicant at the 7 am Mass and a Eucharistic Minister to
inmates at the County Jail and other shut-ins. Innumerable
people have been blessed, not only by the spiritual
sustenance of those visits, but the caring attention of this
special man. Thank you, Jim -- you are an outstanding
representative of the Old Mission community and a shining
example of Pope Francis’s Year of Mercy.
“May all the attractions of a changing world serve only to bring us
the peace of your kingdom which this world does not give.”

Care for Creation
Have you seen this great resource from Catholic Relief
Services? Check it out at http://www.crs.org/climate-change
You will also find resources for your children on this subject –
fun ideas like this book Drop by Drop, a children’s book about
a water project in Africa. http://www.loyolapress.com/products/
books/childrens/two-feet-of-love-in-action-drop-by-drop
Award-Winner in the “Children’s Religious” category of
the 2015 International Book Awards, Drop by Drop contains
colorful pictures and an engaging story that helps children
understand important lessons of how to work for justice and
peace and to help those in need.
Sister Mary Jerome’s nephew Mike works for Catholic Relief
Services. This is an organization that helps people throughout
the world. Mr. Mike came to Sister’s class and told the story
of a village in the country of Burkina Faso, which is in Africa.
The story is about a girl named Sylvie and how her village
needed water. Sylvie is unable to attend school because it
takes her several hours every day to collect the water her
family needs. Read more here http://tinyurl.com/h6cfyj5

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
August 21, 2016
21st Sunday in Ordinary Time
At first reading, this Gospel passage
is missing some of the hopeful
words we read elsewhere about
God’s love for us and all of creation
spending eternity in the Kingdom.
In this Gospel we read that the door
is narrow, that not many people
will get through it, and once it’s
shut, there’s no opening it again.
One way that scholars interpret this
passage is that it was geared for
the religious leaders of Jesus’ time.
They were fairly confident that they
were among God’s chosen people
and just because of who they were,
they were automatically entitled to
enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus
came to be sure all people had a
chance to enter the door of heaven.
Many other people, according
to Jesus, would enter before the
arrogant leaders.
Reflection question:
Adult: What daily choices are you
making that will allow you to be
recognized at the doorway of the
Reign of God?
Child: What good habits are you
practicing in order to be a good
Christian?

ASAP. Registrations forms are available in the parish office and at our

Consider this book for your child to learn about the mass. You can find it
here http://www.twentythirdpublications.com/cakiliegotom.html or http://
tinyurl.com/h8y5ep5
With colorful illustrations and clear language, We go to Mass introduces
children to the various parts of the Catholic liturgy. From the Introductory
Rites to the Concluding Blessing, children will discover the “whys” and
“hows” of the prayers, readings, symbols, gestures, and realities of the
Mass, so they can follow and better understand what’s happening. We
go to Mass can help children see that they are part of God’s family and
how the Mass brings them into Jesus’ loving and very real presence. This
timeless treasure of a book will be enjoyed over and over by children—
and adults too!

LA HERENCIA MISIONERA
Ante la proximidad
CELEBRANDO
de cumplirse un aniversario
más de la fundación de nuestra Misión de San Luis
Obispo, celebramos con gozo el hermoso y magnífico
regalo que nos han dejado los primeros evangelizadores
de estas tierras. Se trata del regalo de la Fe que nos
pone en contacto directo con la persona de Cristo
y con el amor de Dios. Un regalo que los primeros
evangelizadores de California promovieron con
incansable empeño y una dedicación impresionante.
Gracias a esa dedicación misionera nosotros podemos
vernos bendecidos con el conocimiento de Dios y de su
palabra, recibir los Sacramentos e introducir también a
nuestros niños en el mundo de la Gracia Santificante.
Por eso hoy nos sentimos alegres y celebramos con la
comunidad en pleno (anglosajones hispanos, filipinos,
portugueses y todos) la llegada de la luz del evangelio
a nuestra región. Fue en Septiembre de 1772 cuando
oficialmente se dio la fundación de esta Misión. Desde
entonces se ha recorrido un largo camino de formadores
en la fe, de constructores del Reino, de papás,
catequistas, sacerdotes y laicos comprometidos con el
anuncio del evangelio, gracias a los cuales gozamos
nosotros de los beneficios de la fe.
Es un gran acontecimiento que celebramos con
alegría, sin embargo, la mejor manera de honrar a
tantas personas que han contribuido a lo largo de la
historia para traernos el regalo de la fe, es despertando
también nosotros nuestro sentido misionero y hacer lo
propio, comprometiéndonos en la retransmisión de la
fe, ayudando a más personas a unirse a la persona de
Cristo y llevándolas a la luz del Evangelio.
¡Felicidades! Que esta celebración nos ayude a
renovar nuestro sentido de gratitud y despierte nuestro
compromiso de promotores y trasmisores de la Fe.

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
21 de agosto de 2016 - Vigésimo Primer Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
Este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia y el
ministerio del Papa Francisco vienen
renovando nuestro entendimiento de que el
corazón de la Iglesia está abierto para todas
las personas y, el corazón del Evangelio
es la misericordia de Dios. Inundados
con la misericordia de Dios, nuestros
corazones deben desbordarse como arroyos
llevando a las personas cansadas y heridas
la misericordia consoladora de Jesús. Ya
que Jesús señala que nuestra salvación no está
garantizada por la Liturgia de la Palabra (“tú has enseñado
en nuestras plazas”) ni por la Eucaristía (“Hemos comido y
bebido contigo”) (Lucas 13:26). Habrá personas
lejos de ese banquete “del oriente y del poniente, del norte
y del sur . . . participarán en el banquete del Reino de
Dios” (13:29). Por el contrario, mostrar misericordia es la
clave para obtener misericordia nosotros mismos (Mateo
5:7). Para que nunca debamos atrevernos a preguntar lo
que “alguien” le preguntó a Jesús: “Señor, ¿es verdad que
son pocos los que se salvan?” (Lucas 13:23). La pregunta
debiera ser: “¿Yo me salvaré?” Y la respuesta de Jesús sería
otra pregunta: “¿Has sidomisericordioso con tu prójimo, de
manera libre, con alegría, sin límites, sin condiciones, sin
excepciones?”—Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
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 primero
anglosajones. Estos fueron Ponce de León y compañeros
quienes buscaban una mejor vida en la famosa fuente de la
juventud. Eventualmente los hispanos dejaron de buscar
la ilusoria fuente y en 1565 en la fiesta de san Agustín (28
de Agosto), Pedro Menéndez de Avilés fundó la primera
ciudad en Florida.
Gracias a su santo patrón esta ciudad ha podido
sobrevivir ataques de invasores británicos 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 desordenada se convirtió en uno
de los santos mas importantes de la iglesia, gracias a las
oraciones continuas de su madre santa Mónica. Nunca
debemos menospreciar el poder de las oraciones de una
madre por sus hijos.
