fruto y se manifi esten así como discípulos míos.

– Juan 15:8

Pocos de nosotros, incluso cuando

meditamos sobre la imagen de la vid y los

sarmientos, nos detenemos a pensar realmente

acerca de cómo Dios nos “poda”.

Para algunos, existe el peligro de pensar

que ya estamos produciendo frutos para el reino,

de verdad y con hechos como dice Juan, tal vez

criando una familia, siendo activos en nuestra

parroquia y así.

Pero incluso aquellas ramas que están

dando sus frutos, nos dice el Evangelio, se pueden

podar para producir aún más.

Hoy Saulo, recién “podado” por su

conversión, llega a Jerusalén y encuentra

resistencia. Ya que había estado persiguiendo a los

cristianos, esto era natural. Pero incluso después

de que lo aceptan y comienza a dar frutos, se

encuentra con más adversidad, y sus cartas están

llenas de muchos relatos de cómo sus pruebas

eran “podas” para que produjera más frutos para el

Reino.

Al igual que él, siempre y cuando

permanezcamos en Cristo, vamos a seguir dando

frutos y, cuando la voluntad del Padre, determine

que es hora de que nos pode, la fuerza de la vid

verdadera deberá permitirnos soportarlo.

La Voluntad del Padre Determina

Cuando es Hora de que nos Pode

The Will Of The Father Determines

When It Is Time To Prune Us

Few of us, even when we meditate on the

image of the vine and branches, stop to really think

about how God “prunes” us.

For some there is the danger of thinking

that we are already producing fruit for the kingdom,

in deed and truth as John says, perhaps raising a

family, being active in our parish, and so on.

But even those branches which are bearing

fruit, the Gospel tells us, can be pruned to produce

still more.

Today Saul, freshly “pruned” by his

conversion, arrives in Jerusalem and meets

resistance. Since he had been persecuting

Christians, this was only natural. But even after

he is accepted and begins to bear fruit, he meets

further adversity, and his letters are fi lled with many

accounts of how his trials “pruned” him to produce

greater fruit for the kingdom.

Like him, as long as we remain in Christ

we will continue to bear fruit and, when the will of

the Father determines it is time to prune us, the

strength of the true vine must enable us to

endure it.

Mientras oramos por las vocaciones cada semana,

continuemos conociendo nuestros pastores.

P. Mario Torres,

Pastor Asociado

Ordenado: 2010 en la Diócesis de León, Nicaragua En NSD desde: 2018

Su viaje para responder al Espiritu Santo:

Compartir los datos más importantes de mi vocación me ha hecho recordar momentos

maravillosos de mi vida.

Puedo decirles que esta aventura empezó hace 24 años, si en 1996, más de la mitad de mi vida. Pero igual quiero aclarar que de niño nunca tuve la inquietud vocacional, jamás pasó por mi mente la idea de ser cura. Fue ya en el último año de secundaria que empecé a ver otras opciones para mi vida que las que ya había planeado.

Fue un profesor de la secundaria, que ahora también es sacerdote, el que me habló por primera vez de la posibilidad de la vida religiosa y fue el mismo profesor que me invitó al primer encuentro vocacional.

Ese primer encuentro serio para plantearme la vocación a la vida religiosa fue a mediados de 1996 cuando fui invitado a participar de un encuentro vocacional de una semana con los frailes Franciscanos Menores. Esa fue sin duda el origen de mi vocación. Pero el ese encuentro tenía como objetivo preparar a los que ya iban a empezar un proceso formal con la Orden Franciscana y yo aún no estaba listo para eso.

Así que regrese a las actividades de la escuela, sobre todo porque se acercaba el fi nal de la secundaria y quería enfocarme en la universidad que ya estaba cada vez más próxima, pero participaba del grupo de pastoral juvenil de la escuela y eso me ayudó a mantener viva mi vida espiritual y también a conservar la semillita de la vocación. La escuela a la que asistí para terminar la secundaria me ofreció la oportunidad de acercarme a Dios. Mi familia no era tan cercana a la Iglesia, éramos de misas de ocasiones especiales pero no de compromisos formales. Fue en los últimos años de secundaria que descubrí el tesoro maravilloso de mi fe, que aun continuo descubriendo y entendiendo.

Las vocaciones comienzan con una invitación. ¿A quién invitaras a considerar el sacerdocio?

Raising Saints

Meet Our Shepherds, Part 1

Conoce a Nuestros Pastores, Parte 1

As we pray for vocations each week, let’s continue

to get to know our shepherds.

Fr Mario Torres,

Associate Pastor

Ordained: 2010 in the Diocese of León, Nicaragua At OLS Since: 2018

His journey to answer the Holy Spirit: Sharing the most important facts of my vocation has made me remember wonderful moments of my life.

I can tell you that this adventure began 24 years ago, yes in 1996, more than half of my life. But I still want to clarify that as a child I never had the vocational restlessness, the idea of being a priest never crossed my mind. It was only in my last year of

high school that I began to see other options for my life than the ones I had already planned.

It was a high school teacher, who is now also a priest, who fi rst spoke to me about the possibility of religious life and it was the same teacher who invited me to my fi rst vocational meeting.

That fi rst serious meeting to consider a vocation to religious life was in mid-1996 when I was invited to participate in a week-long vocational meeting with the Franciscan Friars Minor. That was undoubtedly the origin of my vocation. But that meeting was intended to prepare those who were about to begin a formal process with the Franciscan Order and I was not yet ready. So I went back to school activities, especially because I was nearing the end of high school and I wanted to focus on college, which was getting closer and closer, but I participated in the school’s youth ministry group and that helped me to keep my spiritual life alive and also to keep the little seed of vocation. The school I attended to fi nish high school off ered me the opportunity to get closer to God. My family was not that close to the Church, we went to special occasion masses, but not formal commitments. It was in the last years of high school that I discovered the wonderful treasure of my faith, which I continue to discover and understand. Vocations start with an invitation. Who are you iniviting to consider the priesthood?

Earth Day Clean-Up Walk

The NDS students took their PE and Earth Day

celebrations off campus to take a walk through

community areas, including City Hall and

Alice Keck Park.

While enjoying nature and seeing their local

surroundings, they also made an eff ort to pick up

as much trash as possible!

Under the leadership of Coach Sean, the

students and faculty were able to give back to the

community and learn about this special day that

started right here in Santa Barbara

over 40 years ago!

Caminata de limpieza del

Día de la Tierra

Los estudiantes de Notre Dame tomaron sus

celebraciones de Dia de la Tierra y educación

física fuera del campus para caminar por áreas

de la comunidad, incluyendo el Ayuntamiento y

el parque Alice Keck.

¡Mientras disfrutaban la naturaleza y veían sus

alrededores locales, también se esforzaron para

recoger la mayor cantidad de basura posible!

Bajo el liderazgo del entrenador Sean, los

estudiantes y facultad pudieron ayudar a la

comunidad y aprender sobre este día especial

que tuvo sus inicios aquí en Santa Barbara hace

más de 40 años.

Identifying risky behaviors online

As virtual learning continues, children are spending most of their days online. With their own jobs and responsibilities, parents likely cannot stand behind them and supervise their every move. So, it is more important than ever to assess your child’s online activities

periodically. Make sure you know which sites they are visiting, and who they are talking to on social media sites. Discuss risky behaviors with your children, like posting personal information (full name, age, location, school information, and more) using inappropriate language, or accessing sites with questionable content. For more information, get a copy of the VIRTUS article “Risky Online Behaviors and Young People” from https://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.

Identifi car comportamientos de riesgo en línea A medida que continúa el aprendizaje virtual, los niños pasan la mayor parte de sus días en Internet. Con sus propios trabajos y responsabilidades, es probable que los padres de familia no puedan estar siempre cerca de ellos vigilándolos y supervisando todos sus movimientos. Por lo tanto, es más importante que nunca evaluar periódicamente las actividades en línea de su hijo. Asegúrese de saber qué sitios visitan y con quién están hablando en los sitios de redes sociales. Discuta los comportamientos de riesgo con sus hijos, como publicar información personal (nombre completo, edad, su ubicación, información de la escuela y más), usar un lenguaje inapropiado o acceder a sitios con contenido cuestionable. Para obtener más información, obtenga una copia del artículo de VIRTUS “Risky Online Behaviors and Young People” (Comportamientos riesgosos en línea y jóvenes) en https://lacatholics.org/ did-you-know/.

The Catholic Church dedicates the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Pope Francis will open the month of prayer on May 1, asking for Mary’s intercession.

La Iglesia Católica dedica el mes de mayo a la Santa Virgen Maria. El Papa Francisco iniciara el mes de oración el 1 de mayo, pidiendo la intercesión de Maria.
