Church guide

Bible Study for Young Adults We will resume our Bible Study this coming Friday, April 1, 2016 at our usual time and place (7:00 p.m. in the Junipero Serra Room in the Pastoral Center). We will have Fr. Craig Cox come in to speak to us. He will give a presentation on a topic related to the New Testament but needs not to be strictly tied to the Gospel of Mark. Fr. Craig is a former rector/president St. John’s Seminary and holder of two doctorate degrees. (This is NOT an April Fool joke!) All young adults are welcome! (Ages 18-39) Feel free to contact Seminarian John or Fr. Bao for more information.

March 03, 2016 The Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization has published a pastoral guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation as “24 Hours for the Lord” initiative approaches. In his bull of indiction for the jubilee year of mercy, Pope Francis called upon all dioceses to offer extended times for confessions on March 4 and 5. The pastoral guide includes the teaching of the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the sacrament, suggestions for preparing for the sacrament, texts from saints and popes, and reflections by G. K. Chesterton and Leah Darrow, a former model. http://www.im.va/content/dam/gdm/documenti/pdfvari/24HoursForTheLord.pdf

A Letter From Archbishop Gomez regarding the Year of Mercy My Friends, Pope Francis has declared this coming year to be an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, beginning on December 8, 2015 with the Solemnity of Mary’s Immaculate Conception. Mercy begins inside each one of us. Mercy is the Christian attitude toward life. One of the Church fathers said that love is an exchange of gifts. This is true. We have been forgiven by God and in exchange we forgive others. The love he has shown to us — the mercy that he shows us day in and day out — is the mercy that we must show to others. In this Year of Mercy, all of us need to practice forgiveness — beginning in our own hearts. And we need to encourage understanding and foster reconciliation in all our relationships. This is the foundation for happiness in our lives and the foundation for a new society in which we can live as brothers and sisters. So let us make mercy our “project” as a Church in this jubilee year to come. Mercy is our mission as Christians. Let us try — in all our ministries and in every area of our lives — to walk with our brothers and sisters, to make the merciful presence of God known in our world. The Most Reverend José H. Gomez Archbishop of Los Angeles http://www.seekmercy.org
