Synodal Listening Process

This is the fifth report for the Synodal Listening Process. In this report I remark about what appears to be the easiest elements of the input received that could be readily implemented and result in an immediate change in the perception of the San Ysidro Parish as a welcoming parish.

1. At the beginning of Mass and before the opening prayers, the Presider could turn, face the people and welcome those in attendance to the parish. He could inquire if there are any visitors, dialog briefly, and ask if there are any birthdays or anniversaries to be celebrated as well.
2. Currently, “peace” is proclaimed to the people after the Lord’s Prayer. The congregants then gesture this peace to others before the prayer, “Lamb of God…” is said. An alternative to this process would be to invite parishioners to make this gesture before Mass begins as part of the welcoming process.
3. Announcements are usually made at the end of Mass. To increase the visibility and involvement of the laity, a parishioner, such as the lead usher, could be charged with this task in coordination with the Presider.
4. A concerted effort needs to be made to invite parishioners to become ushers.   

Coffee and Donuts after 8:00 am and 11:00 am Masses this Sunday in Hendren Hall. This Sunday the Ladies Sodality is hosting the coffee and donuts.

The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which occurs in every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb." Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church.  The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament. (USCCB website)

 
It is called Eucharist, because it is an action of thanksgiving to God. (CCC, no. 1328)
 
Come spend a holy hour in Eucharistic Adoration on Friday between 11 AM and 4 PM.  Benediction will follow at 4 PM. Contact Dolores at 505-702-7587 if you wish to schedule a particular hour. 
 
For the Month of July and August 2022
Eucharistic Adoration 
The Catechism quotes Pope John Paul II: "The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in this sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adoration never cease." (CCC, 1380)
Every vocation in the Church comes from and through Christ Jesus. It is he who calls. Spending time in Eucharistic Adoration with our Divine Lord and Friend is a good place to go to ask what he wants with our life. Why not spend some time each week in adoration, in union, in contemplation of the Lord present in the Eucharist? (USCCB)
Come spend a holy hour in Eucharistic Adoration on Friday between 8 AM and 4 PM. Benediction will follow at 4 PM. Contact Dolores at 505-702-7587 if you wish to schedule a particular hour.

Do it Anyway!          By Mother Theresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered:
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives:
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies:
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you: Be honest anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight:
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous:
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow:
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, And it may never be enough:
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
