1 1305 Royal Avenue Simi Valley, CA Phone: First Sunday of Lent February 18, 2018 Mark 1:12-15 STRENGTH AGAINST TEMPTATION The first Sunday of the season of Lent always includes a Gospel account of the temptation of the Lord Jesus in the desert by the devil. The Gospel story is set in the desert. As believers, we know that temptation comes our way in our own gardens of delight as well as the deserts of our lives. As Lent begins, our attention is drawn to that temptation within each of us to become like God we want control, power, and answers to all of life s difficult questions. As communities of faith, we are given this season of repentance so that we can join our hearts with others on the difficult journey of conversion. We look to God and to one another for strength against temptation.

3 Dear friends, We, here at St. Rose of Lima have begun an evangelization process because of the severe decline by so many Catholics in the practice of their faith. Only about 30% of Catholics are regularly attending Mass on Sunday and practicing their faith. Recently, I read an article by Fr. George Rutler titled, The Vice of Sloth is a Spiritual Malignancy that speaks to this concern. I have reprinted it for you. In the late 1990s I watched the rebuilding of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, replicating the nineteenth-century cathedral that had been dynamited by Stalin in It can hold an estimated ten thousand worshipers (they stand throughout the long services, for pews are abhorrent to venerable tradition) and is the tallest Orthodox church in the world with a dome reaching 338 feet. Stalin s plan to build on its site a Palace of the Soviets with a huge statue of Lenin atop its dome was never realized because of World War II. That recalls the statue of Zeus, the Abomination of Desolation, which the Greek ruler of Syria, Antiochus IV, erected in the Jerusalem temple after he despoiled its sacred vessels. Antiochus basked in the title Epiphanes, which means radiance of God, but the Jews punned that as Epimanes, or the mad man. Two hundred churches are planned for Moscow, along with an estimated thousand across the nation, replacing and adding to those destroyed in the Communist period, during which priests were crucified on the church doors. These are in the classical Byzantine style, not the modern biscuit boxes and flying saucers that were the bane of the West over the last few decades. In some towns, the local people are taught iconography and mosaic art, so the churches really are the work of their own hands. These days in China, where Christianity is oppressed, not especially for theological reasons, but because it is a threat to the political hegemony of the state, churches are being destroyed. Within the past few months, for example, in Henan Province an evangelical church was dynamited in Shangqiu, with a blithe ferocity paralleling that of Stalin. In the West, churches are getting demolished for reasons other than political: redundancy, the lack of need for ethnic parishes, and the sheer cost of maintenance. Often, people who are much wealthier than their ancestors who built the churches sacrificially out of their penury do not contribute enough for maintenance. Between 1995 and the present, the Catholic population in the United States has increased from 57 million to over 70 million. New churches are being built in the South and West where populations are growing faster than the decline in other parts of the country. There is another factor, however, in the loss of churches in much of our nation, and it is simply indifference. The vice of sloth is a spiritual malignancy, and many of our great metropolises have become hospices for lapsed believers. When I was sent to my new parish in New York s Hell s Kitchen, which is experiencing a phenomenal population growth, I was asked, How many Catholics live there? The proper question is, How many Catholics will live there? The Ascending Lord did not send his disciples into Catholic neighborhoods, because there were none. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles created them. That is our challenge today. God bless you. Yours in Christ, Fr. Joseph Shea

Rite of Sending On February 18th, the First Sunday of Lent, Parishes celebrate the R.C. I. A. Rite of Sending. The Rite of Sending offers the parish community, through their Godparents and Sponsors, an opportunity to acknowledge the spiritual progress the Catechumens and Candidates have made, and send them forth to our Archbishop, with assurance of our Parish s care and support. Across the world, Catholic Bishops welcome to their Cathedrals, Catechumens (unbaptized) and Candidates (already baptized), sent by local parishes, to gather together with their Godparents and Sponsors, in what is known as the Rite of Election on February 18 th for Catechumens and the Rite of Calling to Continuing Conversion on February 25 th for Candidates. In Sacred Scripture, the Book of Revelation makes reference to a Book of Life in which are written the names of those who have chosen to follow Christ and be baptized. We, who are already baptized, had our names written in the Book of Life at our Baptism. In the Rite of Sending, those preparing for Baptism are invited to come forward and sign the Book of The Elect, as a sign of their desire to be numbered among the chosen of God. So we, the Parish Community of St. Rose of Lima Church, Send our Catechumens and Candidates to Archbishop Jose Gomez. We are asked to continue to pray for them as they enter into the final period of preparation for their Full Initiation into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil Celebration. FORMED an on-line program of Catholic Study, Programs, Bible studies, ebooks and movies. We are glad to hear so many of you are enjoying and enriching your faith and knowledge by using this wonderful program, we invite all of you who have not signed up yet to go on line and access this free program. 1.

La negación como mecanismo de defense Puede ser difícil entender por qué una víctima de abuso no se presenta inmediatamente para reportar un asalto. Para aquellos que han sufrido asalto o abuso sexual, la negación puede ser un poderoso mecanismo de defensa, que les permita hacer frente al trauma y sus secuelas. A menudo, un abusador es alguien que la víctima conoce y en la que confía, lo que hace aún más difícil entender por qué el abuso está sucediendo, y más difícil de presentar y pedir ayuda y protección.

Denial as a defense mechanism It may be difficult to understand why an abuse victim does not come forward immediately to report an assault. For those who have suffered sexual assault or abuse, denial can be a powerful defense mechanism, one that allows them to cope with the trauma and its aftermath. Often, an abuser is someone the victim knows and trusts, which makes it even harder to understand why the abuse is happening, and harder to come forward and ask for help and protection.
