First Sunday of Lent
“For greater things we were born." By Archbishop Jose H. Gomez
There are many matters on my heart as I begin my new ministry as your
Archbishop. But I keep coming back to these words from Ven. Maria
Luisa Josefa de la Peña, the refugee from Mexico who founded our
Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles.
I find her words express some of my deepest desires for my ministry.
I want to spread this simple and beautiful truth of the Gospel: That
each of us is born from the love of God. That each of us is a child of God
who belongs to the family of God, the Church. We are born to be saints
- every one of us!
Since I came here last May, I've put a lot of miles on my car. I've
traveled our great freeways to each of our 20 deaneries. I've been
blessed to celebrate Mass with many of you, and to talk with you and
get to know you. I am eager to meet everyone. And I look forward to
our friendships growing in the years to come.
My heart is truly in Los Angeles now. I am rooting for the Lakers! I feel
at home here in this beautiful archdiocese, in this beautiful state. And
I'm excited to begin my ministry.
I have five basic priorities as I begin my work. They are rooted in the
priorities of Christ and his mission for the Church. They are priorities
that the United States bishops have identified for the Church in this
country. They fit well, too, with our Archdiocesan Synod's goals of
promoting faith education, sacramental life, social justice,
evangelization, collegial leadership and greater a sense of
responsibility in ministry.
My first priority is education in the faith. We need to know the Gospel.
It is our light and our salvation. We need to know our Lord's words and
how he lived. We need to know the teachings of his apostles and his
Church. We need especially to know the Church's social teachings, so
that we can live as faithful citizens.
I also want to promote vocations to the priesthood and the religious
and consecrated life. Our Church needs more men and women who
can testify to the radical beauty of a life dedicated totally to Christ.
My third priority is to help us to see the beauty of the Church's cultural
diversity. The Catholic Church is meant to be a great multitude called
from all nations, peoples and tongues. As Catholics, we need to break
down the walls that divide us, every barrier that keeps us from being
one family.
My fourth priority is that we proclaim to our society that life is sacred
from conception to natural death. We must insist on the rights and
dignity of the human person - born or unborn; young or old; sick or
healthy; no matter where he comes from or what kind of documents he
possesses.
Fifth and finally, we must defend and strengthen the natural
institutions of marriage and the family based on the permanent and
exclusive union of one man and one woman. We must insist that society
respect the Church's freedom to promote our belief that the family is
the fundamental cell of civilization.
All five of these priorities are a means to an end. The end is this: that
our Church proclaims the Gospel in all its power and truth to the men
and women of our day.
That is what we are here for, each one of us. We are here to be saints
and missionaries. We are here to bear witness to the greater things that
Jesus promises to those who love him and live by his Word and his
teachings.
I am humbled by the extraordinary works being done in our parishes
and in all of our Catholic institutions. There are many needs and many
problems - material and spiritual - here in Los Angeles and
throughout California.
(continued in next column)
The Church's works of mercy and justice must intensify. Every one of
us must do our Christian duty to help the poor and the strangers in
our midst.
In all our work, let us be animated by the "greater things" of the Gospel - the beauty of knowing Jesus Christ. Through our acts of love,
little and big, we can help bring our brothers and sisters closer to God.
I ask your prayers for me this week as I begin my ministry. Please ask
our good God to make me worthy of this beautiful task of serving the
family of God here in Los Angeles.
I pray for you every day. And I ask the intercession of Our Lady of
Guadalupe for you and your families this week.
Lenten Spiritual Retreat
Our Lenten Spiritual Retreat will take place on Saturday, March
19, 2011. Pre-registration is mandatory whether you wish to
partake of the meals or not. To register you may pick up a form
in the church or in the parish office. Registration deadline is
3/16.
WHY 40 DAYS?
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, which is actually forty-six days
before Easter. We say that Lent is forty days in number because
the six Sundays are excluded from the rigors of Lent in order to
afford the faithful a time to pause and rejuvenate, gathering new
strength. Since the restructuring of the Liturgical Year after
Vatican II, the Easter Triduum, which begins on Holy Thursday,
is not included in the Lenten season, so the actual days of
rigorous Lenten observance are approximately forty days.
The number forty is found frequently in scripture to signify
either a time of penitential preparation, or a time of
punishment and affliction sent from God. The Old Testament
is replete with examples of the use of forty: God punished
mankind by sending a flood over the earth that lasted forty days
and forty nights (Gen 7:12); the people of Ninevah repented
with forty days of fasting when Jonah preached the destruction
of Ninevah (Jonah 3:4); Moses and the Hebrew people
wandered in the desert for forty years (Num 14:34); the Prophet
Ezekiel had to lie on his right side for forty days as a figure of
the siege that was to bring Jerusalem to destruction (Ez 4:6); the
Prophet Elijah fasted and prayed on Mount Horeb for forty days
(1 Kings 19:8); and finally, Moses fasted forty days and forty
nights while on Mt. Sinai (Ex 34:28).
In the New Testament we find Our Lord fasting and praying for
forty days and forty nights in the desert in preparation for the
public ministry that would end in his redeeming death (Luke
5:35). He is the new Adam who overcomes the temptations of
the devil and remains faithful to God; the new Israel, who
reveals himself as God’s Servant by his total obedience to the
divine will, in contrast to those who provoked God in the
desert. The Church sets aside the forty days of Lent in order that
we might imitate Our Lord by our fasting, prayer, self-denial and
good works, and thereby prepare our hearts for an Easter
renewal. “By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites
herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert.” (Catholic
Catechism, #540).
13 de Marzo del 2011
Primer Domingo de Cuaresma
“Hemos nacido para cosas grandes” por el Arzobispo Jose Gomez
Hay muchos asuntos en mi corazón al comenzar mi nuevo ministerio
como su Arzobispo. Pero sigo regresando a estas palabras de la
Venerable María Luisa Josefa de la Pena, la refugiada de México que
fundo a nuestras Hermanas Carmelitas del Sagrado Corazón de Los
Ángeles. Encuentro que sus palabras expresan algunos de mis deseos
más profundos de mi ministerio.
Quiero difundir esta verdad simple y hermosa del Evangelio: Que
cada uno de nosotros hemos nacido del amor de Dios. Que cada uno de
nosotros es un hijo de Dios quien pertenece a la familia de Dios, la
Iglesia. Hemos nacido a ser santos – cada uno de nosotros.
Desde que llegue aquí en Mayo pasado, he puesto muchas millas en mi
coche. He viajado por nuestras autopistas maravillosas a cada uno de
nuestros 20 decanatos. He tenido la bendición de celebrar la Santa
Misa con muchos de ustedes y de hablar con ustedes y conocerlos.
Estoy ansioso por conocerlos a todos. Y espero que nuestra amistad
crezca en los años por venir.
Mi corazón verdaderamente esta en Los Ángeles. Yo apuesto por los
Lakers. Me siento en casa en esta bella arquidiócesis, en este bello
estado. Y estoy emocionado por comenzar mi ministerio.
Tengo cinco prioridades básicas cuando comence mi trabajo. Están
enraizadas en las prioridades de Cristo y su misión para la iglesia.
Estas son prioridades que los obispos de los Estados Unidos han
identificado para la iglesia en este país. Igualmente estas prioridades
encajan bien con las metas de nuestro Sínodo Arquidiocesano de
promover la educación de la fe, la vida sacramental, la justicia social,
la evangelización, el liderazgo colegial y un mayor sentido de
responsabilidad en el ministerio.
Mi primera prioridad es la educación en la fe, necesitamos conocer el
Evangelio. Es nuestra luz y nuestra salvación. Necesitamos conocer la
Palabra de Nuestro Señor y como vivirla. Necesitamos conocer las
enseñanzas de sus apóstoles y su iglesia. Especialmente necesitamos
conocer las enseñanzas sociales de la Iglesia, para que podamos vivir
como ciudadanos de fe.
También quiero promover vocaciones al sacerdocio y la vida
consagrada y religiosa. Nuestra Iglesia necesita más hombres y
mujeres que testifiquen la belleza radical de la vida dedicada
totalmente a Cristo.
Mi tercera prioridad es de ayudarnos a mirar la belleza de la
diversidad cultural de nuestra Iglesia. La Iglesia Católica está
diseñada a llamar a grandes multitudes de todas las naciones, gentes y
lenguas. Como católicos, necesitamos derrumbar las paredes que nos
dividen, y derrumbar también las barreras que evitan que seamos una
familia.
Mi cuarta prioridad es la de proclamar a nuestra sociedad que la vida
es sagrada desde el momento de la concepción hasta la muerte natural.
Debemos insistir en los derechos y dignidad de la persona humana
nacida o no nacida; joven o vieja; enferma o saludable; no importa de
donde venga la persona o qué clase de documentos posee.
Mi quinta y final prioridad, es la de defender y fortalecer la institución
del matrimonio y la familia basada en la unión permanente y
exclusiva entre un hombre y una mujer. Debemos insistir para que la
sociedad respete la libertad de la Iglesia Católica de promover nuestra
creencia que la familia es la célula fundamental de la civilización
Estas cinco prioridades son el medio para un fin. El fin es este: que
nuestra Iglesia proclame el Evangelio con todo su poder y verdad a los
hombres y mujeres de nuestros días.
Para eso estamos aquí, cada uno de nosotros. Estamos aquí para ser
santos y misioneros. Estamos aquí para ser testigos a las cosas grandes
que Jesús promete a aquellos quienes lo aman y viven por su Palabra y
sus enseñanzas.

Words on love from Jesus Himself...
"As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. If
you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as
I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. I
have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy
might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another
as I love you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's
life for one's friends." John 15: 9-14
"You have heard it said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate
your enemy. 'But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for
those who persecute you..."Matthew 5: 43-44
"The first [greatest commandment] is this: '...You shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all
your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these." (Mark 12:29-31)

Words for Thought… Quotes on the Rosary
“Recite your Rosary with faith, with humility, with confidence, and
with perseverance.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all
prayers; it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of
God…and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family
Rosary.”
Pope Saint Pius X
“Never will anyone who says his Rosary every day become a formal
heretic or be led astray by the devil.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot
in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do
who practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as
a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life
and will save your soul, if—and mark well what I say—if you say the
Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins.”
Saint Louis de Montfort
“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a
new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that
there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal
or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell
you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer
of the Holy Rosary.”
Sister Lucia dos Santos, Fatima seer
“When you say your Rosary, the angels rejoice, the Blessed Trinity
delights in it, my Son finds joy in it too, and I myself am happier than
you can possibly guess. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is
nothing in the Church that I love as much as the Rosary.”
Our Lady to Blessed Alan de la Roche
“‘Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!’ No creature has ever
said anything that was more pleasing to me, nor will anyone ever be
able to find or say to me anything that pleases me more.”
Our Lady to Saint Mechtilde
Para la risa…
Llega Manolo a la morgue:
- 'Busco a un amigo mío que se ahogó ayer.'
- '¿Puede darme alguna seña particular de su amigo para identificarlo?'
- 'Sí, era sordomudo.'
Just for Laughs…
I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?'
It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.
So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'
And that's when the fight started...
