RETIREMENT FUND FOR ARCHDIOCESAN PRIESTS 2ND. COLLECTION
Today we have a Second Collection to support the Retirement Fund for Archdiocesan Priests. Currently, the fund provides for 145 priests who are retired. Over the next ten years, the number of priests who will reach retirement age will number 353. All of these individuals have committed their lives to serve the spiritual needs of our parish communities. Please give generously to this cause, not out of a sense of obligation but, out of true gratitude for their dedication and service for so many years to the People of God in our Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Corresponding donation envelopes are found behind the pews.

So too in Christ shall all be brought to life,
Last year I lost my Son. I was surrounded by my family, which was a wonderful blessing, but alone, in my loss. Then my children all had to go back to their lives, and I looked and looked for a group to join, so I could share my grief with others. I could not find one. I have just finished a course in Bereavement, and want to start this ministry here, at Blessed Sacrament, I hope it will grow and so help others, who have lost loved ones. Sharing does help I know this. I have two wonderful friends from BS who stayed with me every weekend for months, and if it were not for them, and the spirit of my Son, I could not be doing what I am now. We can help each other. This is true work of God. Please call me if you are interested, so we can meet and organize ourselves. I thank you in the name of Christ, — Pauline Baglioni, Tel#: 323-851-6609, Email: paulinebag@aol.com

6God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.
Acts 19:1-8

1And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
3And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
4Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
5Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
7And all the men were about twelve.
8And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
John 16:29-33
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
29His disciples say to him: Behold, now thou speakest plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30Now we know that thou knowest all things, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
31Jesus answered them: Do you now believe?
32Behold, the hour cometh, and it is now come, that you shall be scattered every man to his own, and shall leave me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you shall have distress: but have confidence, I have overcome the world.
Acts 20:17-27
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
17And sending from Miletus to Ephesus, he called the ancients of the church.
18And when they were come to him, and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time,
19Serving the Lord with all humility, and with tears, and temptations which befell me by the conspiracies of the Jews;
20How I have kept back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and taught you publicly, and from house to house,
21Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
22And now, behold, being bound in the spirit, I go to Jerusalem: not knowing the things which shall befall me there:
23Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem.
24But I fear none of these things, neither do I count my life more precious than myself, so that I may consummate my course and the ministry of the word which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
25And now behold, I know that all you, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
26Wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I am clear from the blood of all men;
27For I have not spared to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
John 17:1-11
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
1These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.
2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.
3Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.
6I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.
7Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:
8Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:
10And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.
Acts 20:28-38
View in: NAB NIV KJV NJB Vulg Greek
28Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, wherein the Holy Ghost hath placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.
32And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an inheritance among all the sanctified.
33I have not coveted any man’s silver, gold, or apparel, as
34You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
35I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.
36And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.
37And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
38Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.

2230But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.
236And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
10And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

20And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me;
21That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one:
23I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.
24Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me; that they may see my glory which thou hast given me, because thou hast loved me before the creation of the world.
25Just Father, the world hath not known thee; but I have known thee: and these have known that thou hast sent me.
26And I have made known thy name to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.

15When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.
16He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.
17He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep.
18Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.
19And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me.

16And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.
17And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people, or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;
18Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;
19But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.
20For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
30And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging; and he received all that came in to him,
31Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.

20Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?
21Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do?
22Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me.
23This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but, So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee?
24This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.

1The hand of the Lord was upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of the Lord: and set me down in the midst of a plain that was full of bones.
2And he led me about through them on every side: now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceeding dry.
3And he said to me: Son of man, dost thou think these bones shall live? And I answered: O Lord God, thou knowest.
4And he said to me: Prophesy concerning these bones; and say to them: Ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5Thus saith the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
6And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to grow over you, and will cover you with skin: and I will give you spirit and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
7And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a commotion: and the bones came together, each one to its joint.
8And I saw, and behold the sinews, and the flesh came up upon them: and the skin was stretched out over them, but there was no spirit in them.
9And he said to me: Prophesy to the spirit, prophesy, O son of man, and say to the spirit: Thus saith the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them live again.
10And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and the spirit came into them, and they lived: and they stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off.
12Therefore prophesy, and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres, O my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel.
13And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, and shall have brought you out of your graves, O my people:

Romans 8:22-27

22For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now.
23And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body.
24For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen, is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for?
25But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience.
26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For we know not what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings.
27And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what the Spirit desireth; because he asketh for the saints according to God.

1And when the days of the Pentecost were accomplished, they were all together in one place:
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared to them parted tongues as it were of fire, and it sat upon every one of them:
4And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak with divers tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak.
5Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6And when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded in mind, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue.
7And they were all amazed, and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these, that speak, Galileans?
8And how have we heard, every man our own tongue wherein we were born?
9Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10Phrygia, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome,
11Jews also, and proselytes, Cretes, and Arabians: we have heard them speak in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.

8And they who are in the flesh, cannot please God.
9But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10And if Christ be in you, the body indeed is dead, because of sin; but the spirit liveth, because of justification.
11And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead, dwell in you; he that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall quicken also your mortal bodies, because of his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live.
14For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear; but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father).
16For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit, that we are the sons of God.
17And if sons, heirs also; heirs indeed of God, and joint heirs with Christ: yet so, if we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

20And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

3Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.
6I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.
7Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:
8Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:
10And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

15When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.
16He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.
17He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep.
18Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.

22Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me.
23This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but, So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee?
24This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.
