Lectio Divina Lectio Divina for the month of September will be on Tuesday, September 27th at 6:00pm in the Parish Office Ministerio Hispano SOMOS RESPONSABLES POR LOS DEMÁS El Concilio Vaticano II nos ha llamado a imaginar la Iglesia como el pueblo de Dios. Como una comunidad de creyentes somos responsables por nuestros hermanos, por su salvación, su peregrinar en la fe, su bienestar físico. Muchos de los documentos del Concilio y volúmenes de trabajos desde mediados de la década del 60 nos dan consejos, guías y ánimo para ayudarnos unos a otros: a los pobres, a los ancianos, a los no nacidos, a los quebrantados, a los enfermos. Porque el Concilio Vaticano II es parte de nuestra reciente historia –sin duda muchos de nosotros ya habíamos nacido– esto nos puede parecer una idea nueva y revolucionaria. Pero las lecturas de hoy nos muestran que las enseñanzas sobre justicia social han existido siempre. Ochocientos años antes de nacer Cristo, Amós advirtió a los ricos que no engañaran a los pobres. En la primera carta de Pablo a Timoteo, él insiste en que todas las oraciones sean por todos; y finalmente, el Evangelio enfatiza la importancia de usar sabiamente el dinero. Lecturas de Hoy Primera lectura — El Señor nunca se olvida del pecado de los que hacen trampa a los pobres y abusan de ellos (Amós 8:4-7). Salmo — Que alaben al Señor todos sus siervos (Salmo 113 [112]). Segunda lectura — Reza al Señor, que quiere que todos se salven (1 Timoteo 2:1-8). Evangelio — Sé responsable en todo. No pueden ustedes servir a Dios y al dinero (Lucas 16:1-13).

The role of parish faith formation is to provide organized and systematic approach to the instruction and practice of the faith for everyone in the parish community. The goal of this formation is to give each member an understanding of their faith so they can evangelize and witness to the faith in the greater secular community. The programs offered at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral parish reflect the diversity of an urban Southern California parish. In addition to the weekly catechetical program special events and speakers are presented throughout the parish’s pastoral year. RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) RCIA an Invitation for everyone to Community in Christ. At St. Joseph Cathedral’s parish community we believe that everyone has an invitation to join the RCIA process. The RCIA’s invitation is for those individuals who have not been baptized and wish to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ in the Roman Catholic Faith Community. The invitation is for those from other Christian Faith communities who wish to become members of the Roman Catholic Church. Catholics who have not completed the sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist will find the invitation is for them to complete those sacraments. Catholics who have not been active in their faith and wish to return to an active sacramental relationship with the faith community will find the RCIA a place to have that journey. Also, Catholics who wish to renew their faith by refreshing their knowledge of the church’s teaching are most welcome. Evangelization and Catechesis are the hallmarks of the RCIA at St. Joseph Cathedral. For more information write Bill Bischoff at [email protected] or call the Parish Office.
