Mass of Healing at St. Pius X in Chula Vista

We spend time teaching our children about our faith. We also make sure they attend catechetical instruction in our parish. While these are important means to convey our faith, the most powerful and effective method for passing on the faith to our children, and others, is to live the parables of mercy, kindness and welcome: to live and act on the faith we profess…to be the Church, the body of Christ!
God’s Blessing upon all parents and catechists this Catechetical Sunday!
Then he sat down, called the Twelve, and said to them,
“If anyone wishes to be first,
he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.”
Taking a child, he placed it in their midst,
and putting his arms around it, he said to them,
“Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me;
and whoever receives me,
receives not me but the One who sent me.” Mark 9:30-37
📷CRE Children touring the new St. Francis Chapel site - today they gathered there for the first time for Children’s Liturgy of the Word. Thanks be to God.
This is our second week of Eucharistic Renewal throughout the diocese.
Mass will be held in the Parish Center for the next 3 weekends as we participate with the entire diocese in the Eucharistic Renewal Series. There will be no livestreaming but the thematic video homilies will be posted on social media. You may also bring a chair for the parish plaza if you like and communion will be brought out to you there. Coffee and Donuts will be available on the plaza after the usual morning masses.
“Let it be unto me according to your word” (Lk 1:38). Mary gives her yes to God’s will, out of love, consenting to let God intervene in a most extraordinary way in her own life.
God has tremendous plans for our lives that He has known since time began. It’s quite remarkable and we cannot fully grasp this in our time on earth. Listen how comforting these Scripture quotes are from a couple of Old Testament prophets: “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope” (Jer 29:11) and “Yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands” (Is 49:15-16).
How do you listen for the call of God in your life?

A sower went out to sow his seed.
And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled,
and the birds of the sky ate it up.
Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew,
it withered for lack of moisture.
Some seed fell among thorns,
and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew,
it produced fruit a hundredfold.”
After saying this, he called out,
“Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear…
This is the meaning of the parable.
The seed is the word of God.
Those on the path are the ones who have heard,
but the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts
that they may not believe and be saved.
Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear,
receive the word with joy, but they have no root;
they believe only for a time and fall away in time of temptation.
As for the seed that fell among thorns,
they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along,
they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life,
and they fail to produce mature fruit.
But as for the seed that fell on rich soil,
they are the ones who, when they have heard the word,
embrace it with a generous and good heart,
and bear fruit through perseverance.
Luke 8:4-15

MEMORIALS OF ROBERT BELLARMINE, BISHOP, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH AND
HILDEGARD OF BINGEN, VIRGIN, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH
Listen to your doctors
Jesus’ ministry was simple: He went from town to town telling people that they were loved. The mantle, picked up by the doctors of the church, including those we honor today, was to interpret Jesus’ message for subsequent generations. Saint Robert Bellarmine’s Catechism clarified the Catholic understanding of faith and reason, and Saint Hildegard of Bingen’s songs, such as “O virtus sapientie,” helped unlock the mysteries of Divine Love and the Trinity. The Good News is meant for you. Find a way to hear it.
TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Timothy 6:2c-12; Luke 8:1-3. "Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God."

Pursue righteousness, devotion,
faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
Compete well for the faith.
Lay hold of eternal life,
to which you were called.
1 Timothy 6:10-12

At the center of forgiveness, there is God who embraces us, not the list of our sins and our humiliation.
