4th Sunday of Easter
April 17, 2016
Fr. Ben’s Message:
nd
Earth Day is this Friday, April 22 .
Many places celebrated it this weekend. My
first celebration was as a junior in High School
and the focus was on the doomsday predictions
for the planet and the call to arms to do
something to prevent our eventual destruction.
In my travels and various assignments, I have
attended many Earth Day events in the western
United States and even started one in Southern
California, Pepper Tree Day, honoring the
oldest Pepper Tree in California at Old Mission
San Luis Rey.
Spiritual Ecology was new and
revolutionary for some but for others they could
trace it back over 800 years to their founder
who referred to the elements of the earth as
brother and sister. St. Francis of Assisi became
the patron saint of the ecological community.
The earth is still under attack by
humanity, healing is a slow process. Living a
life in balance and in harmony with God and
nature is still our goal. Take time on Friday to
appreciate this great gift that God had given us.
Identify an ecological issue that bothers you and
in this next year do something about it.
Peace and all good,
Fr. Ben, ofm
Looking ahead
Fr. Ben was informed this week that the
new clergy assignments will be released to
the public on May 11th. The personnel
board met, made recommendations to
Archbishop Sample, now the details need
to be worked out and in some situations
approval of the Provincial of the Religious
community obtained.

place next week. One way that this appeal
works to support home mission dioceses in
the United States is by funding essential
ministries, including seminary education and
lay ministry training. Please strengthen the
Church at home by making a generous gift to
next week’s appeal.

who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

Notas del Padre Ben:
Día de la tierra es este viernes, 22 de Abril.
Muchos lugares lo celebran este fin de semana. Mi
primera celebración fue como junior en la escuela
secundaria y el enfoque estaba en las predicciones del
fin del mundo para el planeta y la llamada a los
brazos de hacer algo para evitar la eventual
destrucción. En mis viajes y varios trabajos, he
asistido a muchos eventos del día de la tierra en el
oeste de los Estados Unidos e incuso empecé uno en
el sur de California, día del árbol de pimienta,
honrando al árbol de pimienta más viejo en
California, en la antigua misión de San Luis Rey.
Ecología espiritual era nuevo y revolucionario
para algunos pero para otros podrían rastrearlo más
de 800 años de su fundador quien se refirió a los
elementos de la tierra como hermano y hermana. St.
Francisco de Assis se convirtió en el patrón de la
comunidad ecológica.
La tierra está siendo atacada por la
humanidad, la curación es un proceso lento. Una vida
en equilibrio y en armonía con Dios y la naturaleza
sigue siendo nuestro objetivo. Tómese tiempo el
viernes para apreciar este gran regalo que Dios nos ha
dado. Identificar un problema ecológico que te
molesta y en este año que viene haz algo al respecto.
Paz y todo bien,
Padre Ben, ofm
Segunda colecta el llamado para las

financiando ministerios esenciales, incluyendo

Por favor de fortalecer la iglesia en casa haciendo una
generosa donación a la segunda colecta de la próxima
semana.
Felicitaciones!
