LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
This is the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the gospel reading, Jesus teaches us how to pray.
Taking time to read and pray with the Mass readings helps to prepare your heart to receive exactly what God wants to communicate to you.
Mass Readings for Sunday, July 27
Un Mensaje Del Padre Carlos
Hola, nos encontramos reflexionando sobre un tema que nunca terminaremos de abarcar o pensar, reflexionar, practicar, quejarnos, olvidarlo etc. Es el tema de la oración, la conversación con Dios, la meditación, reflexión espiritual como gusten llamarla. Yo digo que es tiempo para mí, porque yo lo necesito, no es Dios quien necesita.
Hay muchos tipos de oración como tantas diferentes personalidades hay, lo que digo es que oraremos diferente todos, aunque digamos la misma oración, cada uno tiene una relación diferente y especial con Dios y a la vez tenemos distintas formaciones en ese campo, nuestros abuelos, padres, madres, familiares nos enseñan cómo acercarnos a Dios y a la Iglesia y obviamente nos enseñan cosas diferentes.
Algo importante en este aspecto de la oración es : ser constante, persistente como dice el evangelio hoy, esto nos dice que nosotros debemos estar orando cada día, buscar esos momentos de relación con Dios en la oración y hacerlo siempre a pesar de que no recibamos lo que pedimos, o no estemos tan convencidos de que me escucha, porque no depende de eso la oración, depende en crecer y madurar en una relación con Dios, esa relación es la que nos dará las respuestas durante nuestra vida.
Para que podamos ser persistentes, recordemos que existen diferentes formas de oración, como por ejemplo, de petición, acción de gracias, meditación, contemplación, escrita, adoración, reflexionada con la palabra de Dios, el silencio. Existen muchas formas de fomentar nuestra intimidad con Dios. Paz y Bien.

Our Role as the Church in Times of Uncertainty
As members of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, we are called to support and uplift those facing deportation fears or other immigration-related challenges. Guided by our mission, we provide clarity, reassurance, and resources that reflect our commitment to faith, human dignity, and solidarity.
For more information on the immigration policies and programs of the Archdiocese, visit https://lacatholics.org/immigration/
This is a challenging moment for our community. In the face of new immigration enforcement efforts, many in our community — our friends and family, our neighbors and fellow parishioners — are experiencing not only fear and anxiety, but economic uncertainty and hardship, as well.
To help our brothers and sisters in this difficult time and provide them with some security and stability, the Archdiocese has established a special Family Assistance Program, which will be administered through our Cardinal McIntyre Fund.
You can contribute online via the secure button below or by check, payable to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and include “Family Assistance Program” on the check memo line. Checks can be delivered to your parish office or sent to: Sister Anncarla Costello, SND, Archdiocese of Los Angeles, 3424 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Community is committed to protecting our youth and children from child sexual abuse. We comply with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles’ Office of Safeguard the Children and provide the training and education to our ministers to prevent child sexual abuse.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
Every Catholic is called to protect the most vulnerable, including children who are at risk for abuse and exploitation.
If you are working with or around minors in the Catholic Church in the parish, sports, clubs, or school settings, you are required by the Archdiocese to complete the Safeguard the Children/Virtus training and a Live Scan, fingerprinted. If you are a parent volunteer and have been fingerprinted previously, you do not need to do it again. Contact the church office if you have questions.
UPCOMING SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN/VIRTUS TRAINING DATES
OLG will host Virtus training on the following dates:
Sept. 13: 9 AM - 12 PM, Both an English and a Spanish class will be offered.

July 26-27 || Authority figures and boundary responsibilities
When an adult uses their authority to control or manipulate a situation, this puts children and vulnerable adults at risk for abuse. Manipulation can often occur through grooming behaviors, which can lead to boundary violations and ultimately abuse. It is always the responsibility of the adult to maintain appropriate, healthy boundaries with children in their care. For guidelines on how to interact with minors at our parishes, schools and ministries please visit https://lacatholics.org/policies-and-procedures/, and for more tips read the VIRTUS® article “Ministerial Boundaries, Power, and Authority” at lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
Read the VIRTUS® article “Ministerial Boundaries, Power, and Authority” here.
Figuras de autoridad y la responsabilidad de mantener límites personales
Cuando un adulto utiliza su autoridad para controlar o manipular una situación, pone a los niños y adultos vulnerables en peligro de sufrir abusos. La manipulación puede producirse a menudo a través de comportamientos de engaño que pueden llevar a la violación de los límites personales y en última instancia al abuso. Siempre es responsabilidad del adulto de mantener los límites personales adecuados y saludables con los niños a su cargo. Para obtener una guía sobre cómo interactuar con los menores en nuestras parroquias, escuelas y ministerios, por favor visite https://lacatholics.org/policies-and-procedures/ y lea el artículo de VIRTUS® “Ministerial Boundaries, Power and Authority” (“Límites ministeriales, poder y autoridad”) en lacatholics.org/did-you-know/).
