St. Rose of Lima | August 23
Born Isabel Flores de Olivia in April
1586 in Lima, Peru to Spanish colonists,
Saint Rose of Lima took the name Rose
at her confirmation in 1597. Legend holds
that she received this nickname as an in-
fant because a servant saw her face trans-
formed into a rose.
Even as a child Saint Rose was dedicated
to Christ. Growing up she made many
secret penances. And when she was old
enough to be married, deterred suitors by
cutting off her hair and rubbing pepper on
face to make it blister. She took a vow of
chastity even though her parents wished
her to marry. She fasted many times a
week and permanently abstained from
meat.
Eventually her parents gave in and allowed her to join the Third
Order of St. Dominic, although she was not permitted to live in a
convent. Saint Rose undertook severe penances, allowing herself
only two hours of sleep a night in order to have more time to
pray, wearing a heavy silver crown with spikes on the inside imi-
tating Christ’s crown of thorns, and even burning her own hands.
However, she also cared for the sick and hungry, and sold her
beautiful embroidery and fine lace, as well as flowers she grew to
help raise funds for the poor.
She died at the age of 31 on August 24, 1617. Pope Clement X
canonized her in 1671, she was the first saint of the New World,
born in the Americas. Saint Rose of Lima is the patron saint of
Latin America and the Philippines.

Pastor’s Column
Chancing the Narrow Gate
From doctors to counselors, anthropologists to schoolteachers, it
seems like everyone has their own parenting style to peddle,
guaranteeing it will result in a happy and well-adjusted kid.
You’ve got “gentle parenting,” predicated on respect for the
child’s feelings and needs. You’ve got “attachment parenting,”
based on the belief that kids need time to adjust to being outside
of the womb. You’ve got “free-range parenting,” where self-
sufficiency reigns supreme.
But of all the parenting approaches I’ve come across, I’ve never
encountered a philosophy that rejects discipline altogether. There
are lots of conflicting opinions on how best to administer that
discipline, but I’ve never heard any parent or parenting “expert”
worth their salt say that a mother or father should completely
ignore misbehavior that threatens the well-being of the child him-
self.
Discipline is in our human DNA. Consider for a moment what
the world would look like if it came to be filled with people who
had never been taught to reflect on their life challenges. People
who bristled at the suggestion of personal growth.
And yet we become this way with God. Even the most “devout”
among us shy away from occasions of divine constructive criti-
cism. We avoid confession and forego daily examinations of con-
science. We keep things superficial in our prayer life, avoiding
depth of heart and real intimacy with God, afraid of what He will
speak to us.
But when we do this, we rob ourselves of an opportunity to rely
on God’s fatherly strength, to rest in His mercy, to fill ourselves
up with His goodness. We’re putting up our hands, saying: “No
thanks, Father, I’m good. You can keep your discipline. You can
keep your grace.”
When we do this, we are making a beeline for the “narrow gate,”
sure of our own strength and ability to pass through it. All I can
say is this, proceed at your own peril. Are you so sure of your-
self?
— Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS
Del Parraco
Probando la puerta estrecha
Desde médicos hasta consejeros, desde antropólogos hasta maes-
tros de escuela, parece que todos tienen su propio estilo de crianza
para vender, garantizando que resultara un niño feliz y bien adap-
tado.
Tienes una "paternidad respetuosa," basada en el respeto por los
sentimientos y necesidades del niño. Tienes la "crianza con ape-
go," basada en la creencia de que los niños necesitan tiempo para
adaptarse a estar fuera del útero. Tienes una "crianza libre," donde
la autosuficiencia reina suprema.
Pero de todos los enfoques de crianza que he encontrado, nunca
me he encontrado con una filosofía que rechace la disciplina por
completo. Hay muchas opiniones contradictorias sobre la mejor
manera de administrar esa disciplina, pero nunca escuché a
ningún padre o "experto" en crianza que se precie decir que una
madre o un padre deben ignorar por completo el mal comporta-
miento que amenaza el bienestar del niño.
La disciplina está en nuestro ADN humano. Considera por un
momento cómo sería el mundo si llegara a estar lleno de personas
a las que nunca se les había enseñado a reflexionar sobre los de-
safíos de su vida. Gente que se enfureciera ante la sugerencia de
crecimiento personal.
Y, sin embargo, llegamos a ser así con Dios. Incluso los más
“devotos” entre nosotros evitan las ocasiones de crítica constructi-
va divina. Evitamos la confesión y renunciamos a los exámenes
de conciencia diarios. Mantenemos las cosas superficiales en
nuestra vida de oración, evitando la profundidad de corazón y la
intimidad real con Dios, temerosos de lo que Él nos hablará.
Pero cuando hacemos esto, nos privamos de la oportunidad de
confiar en la fuerza paternal de Dios, de descansar en su miseri-
cordia, de llenarnos de su bondad. Estamos levantando nuestras
manos, diciendo: “No gracias, Padre, estoy bien. Puedes quedarte
tu disciplina. Puedes quedarte tu gracia.”
Cuando hacemos esto, nos dirigimos directamente a la “puerta
estrecha,” seguros de nuestra propia fuerza y habilidad para atra-
vesarla. Todo lo que puedo decir es esto, proceda bajo tu propio
riesgo. ¿Estás tan seguro de ti mismo?

Gratitude Question: How can I practice gratitude in my everyday life? Answer: God has given each of us many blessings. Fostering an “attitude of gratitude” might be easier than you think. Sim-ple, concrete practices can help us to be more thankful more often. Incorporate it into your dinner with your spouse, or as you tuck the kids into bed at night. “What are three things you’re thankful for today?” Make a habit of writing one note a week to someone special in your life, thanking them for how they’ve impacted you. This is also a good prac-tice in the workplace. Consider opening your weekly meet-ings with a quick round of gratitude sharing. “I’m grateful John helped me with that last-minute change to my pres-entation last week. I wouldn’t have finished it in time for the meeting without him.” Another way is to designate a few minutes to thank God. This could be the first bit of your daily prayer time or after you receive communion on Sundays. You can also integrate it into your daily routine. How about while brushing your teeth? There’s probably nothing so important it can’t wait two minutes. Brush your teeth, quiet your mind, and thank God from your heart for His blessings throughout the day. Get creative! Any moment is an opportunity to praise and thank God.

Family Faith Formation
All of us have had some kind of formation or teaching
in our belief in God and the purpose of humanity and
the Catholic Church. It usually first comes from family
members such as parents or grandparents and often
later through formation offered by the Catholic Church
and parish. There is so much to learn about the beauty
and truth of our Catholic faith.
We as parents send our children to Faith Formation for
First Communion. After First Communion some people
think that our children don't have to go back to Faith
Formation until Confirmation. This is true if your child
is in a Catholic school. If your child is in public school
your child should be enrolled in the Family Faith For-
mation program at your parish every year until your
children make their Confirmation. So that our children
have the knowledge of our Faith as they become Young
Adults and make an informed decision being Con-
firmed into the Catholic Church.
Here is the link to register your child
for Faith Formation
