M S We, the Parish Community of
Saint John Baptist de la Salle recognize that we are chosen by
Christ and have as our mission to bring forth the fruits of the True Vine in
response to the needs of our Parish Community through the
recognition of active Parish Organizations and the cultivation of
persons and groups not yet sharing in the mystery of the True Vine, Jesus Christ. "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him
will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing."
--John 15:5

The vocation of the "anvil"
Among the horrors of the Nazi regime during World War II was a plan to euthanize all mentally and physically challenged children, and adults throughout Germany and its occupied territories. The Catholic bishop of Monster in the Rhineland would have none of it. Bishop Clemens August von Galen exhorted the people of the region to take into their homes or find hiding places in their barns for all the exceptional children and adults being cared for by Church-related schools and institutions, and then dared the government to try to find them.
In a famous sermon preached in his cathedral on July 20, 1941, Bishop von Galen called Catholics to resistance.
"At this moment we are the anvil rather than the hammer. Other men, strangers, renegades, are hammering us . . . Ask the blacksmith and hear what he says. The object which is forged on the anvil receives its form not alone from the hammer but also from the anvil. The anvil can-not and need not strike back, it must only be firm, only be hard! However hard the hammer strikes, the anvil stands firmly and silently in place and will long continue to shape the objects forged upon it. If it is sufficiently tough, and firm, and hard, the anvil will last longer than the ham-mer. The anvil represents those who are unjustly impris-oned, those who are driven out, and banished for no fault of their own."
Discipleship often calls us to be the "anvil," to sacrifice our own safety and security to absorb the blows directed at the poor, the vulnerable, the powerless. In resisting injustice, in remaining constant in seeking what is right, our lives are "shaped" in the spirit of Jesus' servanthood and "formed" in his Gospel of justice and mercy. To be an authentic disciple of Jesus means to put ourselves in the humble, demanding anvil-strong role of servant to others, to intentionally seek the happiness and fulfillment of those we love regardless of the cost to ourselves.
All Parishioners are invited to the installa on of
Reverend Ramon G. Valera as Pastor of
St. John Bap st del a Salle Church, at the 12:00 p.m. Mass,

LOOK WHAT MRS. TIN’S CLASS DID THIS MONTH
The students in Mrs. Tin's class (TK1) were eager to start the school this past week! During their first two weeks, students focused on building friendships and identifying their name. In class, students were given the opportunity to strengthen their fine motor skills, while creating a beautiful mosaic piece. The mosaic piece was created by the first initial of their name and was displayed at back to school night.

LISTENING AND RESPONDING There are three interwoven themes in today’s read-ings: listening to God, faith vs. good works, and los-ing our life in order to find it. How are they related? The Suffering Servant of Isaiah undergoes much dis-tress and ridicule, but is able to bear it because he has listened to the promptings of God day after day. The psalm tells us that God listens, too. God hears our prayers for help and is always ready to save us. As our faith deepens, so does our desire to do the works of justice and charity that build up the reign of God. God directs our actions in ways we often cannot see, and we don’t always see the results. We are called upon in faith to trust that what we do is enough, and that willingness to listen to God’s promptings will lead us in the right way.

HEALTH TIP OF THE WEEK Cucumbers
The skins and seeds of cucumbers are rich
in nutrients and higher than the flesh, so consuming the whole
cucumber is desirable.
