      Guillermo Garcia Jr.,
     Director of Liturgical Music      Providence II
           Lynn Poncini
          Director of Liturgy          The scripture that immediately comes to mind when I start thinking of
                                       providence is “We know that all things work for good for those who love
       Richard Sepulveda,
          Facilities Manager           God, who are called according to his purpose.” [Romans 8:28] Do Paul’s
                                       words still ring true to us 2000 years later? When my loved-one dies of
                                       cancer, how can I see that as good? We know that good things happen to bad
       PARISH PASTORAL                 people, and more importantly that bad things happen to good people. How do
             COUNCIL
    Celso Doria, Martin Espinoza,      we explain this? This raises yet another thorny question: if God is good, why
 Allan Rodriguez, Lois Wiedenhoeft,    is there such a large amount of evil and suffering in the world? Has he lost
    Jose Martinez, Erica Campos,       control? Darker still, is God the cause of evil? There are those who would
     Jessica Campos, Jory Kusy,        revise our understanding of God to include a “dark side;” Is that where evil
 Monica Poncini, & Barbara Graham      comes from? At the outset let me say that there are no concise answers to
                                       these questions, and that they require a life time of wrestling with them. Still
                                       I think it is worth troubling our minds over these questions. They are real
    MISSION STATEMENT
  We covenant to give ourselves        questions and ones that people who either reject faith, or who are estranged
   to Christ as He gives Himself       from the Church are likely to ask you. One can answer that it is all a mystery,
  to us in the Eucharist, so every     and let it go at that, but while that might settle it for one
  person might be a full, active,      who has been a faithful and practicing Christian all their
  & conscious participant in His       life, it will not attract many to Jesus. What do we say to
Church, empowered to share & live      these things? Paul’s answer is “if God is for us, who can
             the Gospel.               be against us? He did not spare his own Son but handed
                                       him over for us all.” [Romans 8:31-2] Does that settle it
                                       for us too, some 2000 years later?

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

People can easily lose a sense of the sacred and transcendent. When we lose a sense of God’s
special presence, we need to be brought back. Ezra brought people back to the word of God and
they realized what they were missing. Jesus proclaims God’s word in the synagogue with true
conviction and tells those gathered that he is the fulfillment of all that Isaiah taught. Even
though people get lost, distracted, discouraged, and often journey down the wrong path, God’s
timeless law remains. When we allow ourselves to truly hear God’s word and act on it, that living
word slowly, over time, changes us. It has the power to soften and mold us, creating within us a
joyful spirit. We realize the truth in what God speaks and become open to God’s love. Gradually
and gently God leads us back where we belong. We discover again the sacred character of life
and the wonder of God’s power. It is no wonder that Luke addresses his remarks to Theophilus.
It is a name that means “beloved of God,” a name that can be used by anyone who desires
friendship with God.
