Saint John the Evangelist
“Pessimists complain about the wind! Optimists
hope it will change. Realists adjust the sails!”
... Saint Polycarp was martyred at the age of 86 in
155 AD. As a young man, he was a disciple of our
own Saint John the Evangelist. As Bishop of Smyrna
(modern Izmir, Turkey) he was a revered Christian
leader and became a target for persecution. He
was tried and, refusing to renounce his faith, was
burnt at the stake! “Stand fast therefore ... firm
and unchangeable in faith ... united in truth ... loving
each other, helping each other ... despising no one!”
His feast day is Sunday (23).
... Lent is coming fast, and we need your help! Beginning Friday (7), and on each Friday of Lent,
our Holy Name Society is sponsoring a Fish-Fry
Dinner from 5:00pm to 9:00pm in the Parish Hall.
The success of the Fish-Fry Dinner depends on the
help of many volunteers. Come along to a Planning
Meeting this Monday (24) at 7:30pm in the Hall
kitchen. If you would like to volunteer, please call
Rick Decker at 760 942-0344. We really need you!
... Our Annual Catholic Appeal lends support to
the many and varied ministries of our Diocese. Besides supporting the administrative offices of our
Diocese, it assists with our extensive education ministries in our parishes, supports our Diocesan seminary, the much needed continuing education of our
priests, ongoing Marriage and Family Life ministries, and the multi faceted work of Catholic Charities and it’s many outreaches.
... Our Annual Catholic Appeal has also established a special fund to assist the on-going development of parishes, particularly in the Imperial Valley.
... Saint John is expected to raise $65,000 in support of the Annual Catholic Appeal.
... Pledge forms have been mailed to every family,
and are also available at the back of the church, and
in the Parish Office. No payment is necessary now.
Just return your completed pledge card to the Parish Office. Make a pledge today!
... A mighty ‘Thank You’ to Margaret Conway,
Dolores Heller, Lupita Chavez, Tom Bussjaeger, Pat
Holeva, Don Armento and Rose Pini who helped
prepare the Annual Catholic Appeal mailing!
... Our Young Adults (18 - 39 years) meet this Monday (24), at Fuddruckers in Grossmont Center, La
Mesa, with dinner at 6:30pm, and speaker Jackie
Francois at 7:30pm speaking on ‘Relationships and
Dating’. For more info, go to www.yamsd.org.

since the mid-1980’s He was very active with our

San Juan Evangelista
Febrero 23, 2014
ES MEJOR DAR QUE RECIBIR
JESUS EL BUEN PASTOR
Las palabras de
Jesús continúan
contrastando
la
practica y Ley
judía
con
los
seguidores de las
enseñanzas
de
Jesús. El Evangelio
de hoy continúa
con una ligera variación de la frase “Ustedes han
oído que se dijo…” y “Yo les digo que…” Las
antiguas leyes de venganza se escribieron para
mitigar las represalias severas y vengativas tan
comunes entre los pueblos que rodeaban al pueblo
guerrero de Dios.
Aquellas personas que querían ser seguidores de
Jesús también estaban rodeados por personas
empeñadas en vengarse. Por lo que Mateo presenta a
Jesús pidiendo a sus seguidores que si alguien los
golpea en una mejilla que pongan la otra.
Él les pide a las personas que lo escuchan que den
más de lo que alguien les pida. Jesús nos pide amar y
orar por nuestros conciudadanos y los extranjeros, a
los que amamos y a quienes nos odian.
Aún lo recuerdo, estaba viajando en el metro de la
ciudad de Roma cuando
subieron dos mujeres con
niños.
Vestían como si fueran
a una fiesta de disfraces.
Noté que todas las
personas las evitaban. Eran
gitanas, esas a las que mi
mamá y mis tías me iban a
dar si no me portaba bien.
Los gitanos no tienen una buena reputación entre las
naciones. Tienen la misma reputación de los pastores
de Palestina que vivieron en tiempos de Jesús. Se
piensa que son ladrones e inmorales, gente a la que hay
que tenerle miedo.
Sin embargo, decimos que Jesús es nuestro Buen
Pastor. En Jesús, todas las personas que jamás
creeríamos capaces de alcanzar la santidad, lo logran.
Tal es el caso del Pelé o Zeferino Jiménez, un gitano
que en 1936 fue fusilado por militares españoles. El
motivo de su muerte fue la enseñanza y difusión de la
fe en Cristo. Su muerte fue la cumbre de una vida de fe
como franciscano seglar. El ejemplo de vida que este
gitano nos dio, logró hacer que los españoles lo
respetaran y olvidaran sus prejuicios en contra de su
gente. Además de eso, evangelizó a sus hermanos
gitanos.
