The people of the Diocese come from a variety of different backgrounds and share a vast array of hobbies, interests, and purchase activities; the common thread that binds them is their faith. Through advertising in The New Vision, businesses can potentially reach customers not included in their typical target market.

The trip, held April 14-19 this year, is an annual opportunity for students at St. Mary’s to visit southern Arizona and to meet with immigrants and social service agencies. The students were led by Sister Jodi Cecilia Min, O.P., assistant director of Lasallian Mission at St. Mary’s Mission and Ministry Center. The group heard from immigrant families, migrant workers, border patrol agents, educators and ministers, including Bishop Gerald Kicanas. They also met with members of the Jesuit-run Kino Border Initiative, that serves migrants on the border cities of Nogales in Arizona and Mexico. “For me, immigration is a very personal issue that affects my family,” said St. Mary’s student Elizabeth Palomar, who said she has relatives from Guadalajara, Mexico. “I wanted to see what many of the immigrants go through when they cross into Arizona.” Photo courtesy of Jotti Aulakh.

The month of October is Respect Life Month. Imagine yourself pausing in front of a design of great beauty. Your soul quiets and is filled with wonder and awe. If art, created by man, can evoke such a response within us, how much more is the same wonder, reverence and respect due to each person we encounter, who was handcrafted by the very God who spoke the world into being? Now think of an artist stepping back from a great work of art and admiring his or her creation. When God created each of us, He did so with precision and purpose and He looks on each of us with love that cannot be outdone in intensity or tenderness. Moreover, the Lord invites each of us to behold ourselves and each other with the same wonder and awe. No matter how the world might view us or others, let us treat each person as the masterpiece that he or she is. As our Holy Father Pope Francis wrote in a Day For Life Greeting “even Camera Ready Cost 1 x $750 Additional Options Color: add $200 the weakest and most vulnerable, the sick, the old, the unborn and the poor, are masterpieces of God’s creation, made in His own image, destined to live forever and deserving of the utmost reverence and respect.” In order to fulfill this vision, some resources are available. Each parish receives information on the following topics: -Poverty and Abortion: A Vicious Cycle -An Adoption Love Story -Solace and Strength In The Sorrow Of Miscarriage -Children As Commodities -Advance Medical Directives: Planning For Your Future -Healing Within Marriage From An Abortion Each parish is encouraged throughout the year to promote ProLife issues.

Los testigos que apoyaron las medidas de coacción fueron: Primero, un jefe de policía de Carolina del Norte que dijo que las agencias de aplicación de la ley necesitan mayor dirección en la aplicación de las leyes de inmigración; segundo, un representante de un grupo de reforma de inmigración que arguyó que los inmigrantes están acaparando los trabajos en EE.UU.; y, tercero, un miembro del Centro de Estudios de Inmigración quien dijo que la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos se ha convertido “de hecho en zona libre” en donde quienes cruzan no se enfrentan “a consecuencias por sus actos”. El obispo Kicanas dijo que las propuestas “tendrían un efecto adverso en contra de inmigrantes y CONFERENCIA continua de 12 de la anterior conferencia de Colaboradores, que tuvo lugar en marzo de 2012. Alrededor de 2000 personas de toda la Diócesis –de Tucson, Yuma, Somerton, San Luis, Douglas, Nogales y otros lugares– se congregaron en este evento. Los asistentes de este año tuvieron la oportunidad de oír presentaciones en inglés y en español de oradores y de líderes católicos diocesanos y visitantes, entre ellos, el Obispo Gerald Kicanas, el Padre Robert Barron de la Arquidiócesis de Chicago, la Dra.

Un aspecto de la propuesta legislación sería la anulación del programa de Acción Diferida para Arribo de Menores, conocido por sus siglas en inglés como DACA; y, de acuerdo con el obispo, la aplicación de la propuesta legislación haría que “los menores permanecieran por mayor cantidad de tiempo en detención y debilitaría la protección para menores abandonados, olvidados o que han sufrido abuso”. Y dijo que mediante otra ley propuesta, Secure and Fortify Enforcement Act se juzgaría como delito el no tener documentos y se castigaría a quienes les dieran transporte a ilegales. El obispo Kicanas también dijo que mediante la ley propuesta se regresaría a menores de vuelta a su país de origen de donde habían huido y que “dañaría severamente nuestro sistema de asilo y protección de refugiados” y “se rechazaría la libertad bajo palabra, dando como resultado más familias desmembradas”. El obispo le recordó al presidente del subcomité, el representante Trey Gowdy, republicano de Carolina del Sur, que el mismo asunto ya se había presentado antes, en 2005, con la propuesta ley de Protección de la Frontera, Antiterrorismo y Control de Inmigración Ilegal, que causó protestas en todo el país y que no alcanzó la aprobación del Senado. “Como nación, ¿queremos llevar al país otra vez por el mismo camino? ¿Queremos considerar a millones de personas como si fueran criminales, a pesar que ya han formado un patrimonio en este país? ¿Queremos encarcelarlos y separarlos de su familia respectiva, incluyendo aquellos padres que tienen hijos que ya son ciudadanos?”, preguntó. Y dijo que la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos, miembros de otras comunidades de fe y la mayoría de los estadounidenses “estaban desilusionados de que no se hubiera aprobado una legislación completa de reforma de inmigración “ en el último ejercicio del Congreso y exhortó a que se intentara de nuevo, afirmando: “Permanecemos listos a trabajar conjuntamente para lograr esta meta”. Cuando el representante Zoe Lofgren, demócrata de California, le preguntó al obispo si creía que el papa Francisco traería a colación la práctica política de inmigración en EE.UU. en su visita programada ante el Congreso, el mes de septiembre, el obispo Kicanas dijo que eso era lo más probable pues tal asunto “le era caro”. Y dijo que el papa posiblemente animaría al Congreso “a seguir adelante con valor y convicción “ a favor de una reforma de inmigración en la que se incluiría el uso de la fuerza pública pero también la forma de lograr que las familias alcanzaran la ciudadanía.

También hubo una Expo de Recursos con representantes del Centro Pastoral Obispo Moreno, un puesto de Sonoran Spirit, donde las hermanas religiosas vendieron sus artesanías y fotografías, y la presencia de varias organizaciones, como los Caballeros de Colón, Catholic Relief Services, las Academias ACE de Notre Dame, el Centro para Mujeres Reachout, y la Iniciativa Kino para la Frontera. “Fue una experiencia increíble y edificante, con talleres y mensajes para renovarnos e inspirarnos en el amor de Dios:, dijo el Obispo Kicanas. “Por doquier vi católicos de toda la Diócesis aprendiendo juntos, rezando juntos, riendo juntos y disfrutando de estar reunidos”. Las actividades nocturnas fueron una muestra del film “Full of Grace” y una noche de oración y alabanza para los católicos hispanohablantes. Una exhibición denominada Estaciones del Via Crucis de Migrantes, ubicada en uno de los corredores, consistía en una serie de objetos recogidos en el desierto de Arizona, pertenencias de migrantes, como mochilas, zapatos y artículos religiosos. “Podemos encontrar a Cristo en todas las personas; Cristo se identifica con los pobres”, dijo García. “Piensen en los migrantes y en la gente más necesitada de nuestra región como Jesús lo habría hecho”. Los Maestros de Ceremonia de la Conferencia fueron Sheri Dahl, Superintendente de Escuelas Católicas de la Diócesis de Tucson; Aida Urbieta, Ministra Laica Eclesial del área de Yuma, y los seminaristas diocesanos Callistus Iyorember and Martin Moreno.

However, CRS Rice Bowl is an exception. This year marks the 40th anniversary of CRS Rice Bowl, the largest and oldest Lenten program used by millions of Catholics across the United States. Since its inception, millions of Catholics have contributed alms totaling $250 million to support efforts that fight poverty and hunger in dioceses across the U.S. and overseas. 40 years ago, Catholics in the United States wanted to respond to famine in Africa. Could we feed the hungry through Lenten prayers, fasting and almsgiving? The answer was yes—and it came in the form of a small cardboard box. 40 years later, it still does. Participating in CRS Rice Bowl is an admirable way to respond to Pope Francis’ call to put those in need before our own needs. In addition, the Diocese of Tucson has been urged by our Bishop Gerald Kicanas to participate in CRS Rice Bowl. As Chairman of the Board for CRS for three years, Bishop Kicanas has witnessed firsthand the amazing global humanitarian outreach provided by CRS. Visit the website at www. crsricebowl.org to learn about the personal stories of people around the world who have been supported by CRS. The website also offers a wealth of family, parish and educational materials to support the observance of Lent as a time for faith formation as well as for giving. Let’s help CRS continue is amazing work for the next 40 years and beyond. What’s new this year?

As you prepare for the new year, why not commit to reading the entire Bible in 2015? It’s not as hard as you might think. The Bible contains somewhere around 775,000 words. The average adult reads 250 words per minute. That means if you read the Bible for just 30 minutes per day, you’ll get through the whole thing in a year—three times over! (If you read just 10 minutes a day, you’ll still make it through once.) But once committing to read the whole Bible, people generally have two questions: which translation should I use, and how should I do it? Which Translation to Use? Regarding translations, there’s a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure your Bible is complete. Protestant translations (NIV, ESV, TEV, etc.) do not contain the seven deuterocanonical books that the Catholic Church accepts as Sacred Scripture. You’re going to want those books in your Bible (they’re really good!). Second, make sure your Bible translation strikes a good balance between precision and readability. For serious study, avoid paraphrase translations (such as The Message). Instead, go with a more literal (i.e., “word for word”) translation that is still easy to read. Here are my personal recommendations, in order. All of them have been officially approved by the Church for personal study: 1. Revised Standard Version – 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) – The top choice for many Catholic Bible scholars. It’s a Church-approved translation and is literal but still very readable. 2. New American Bible – Revised Edition (NAB-RE) – This is the translation used during the Mass, although it does contain some questionably translated passages and some even worse footnotes. But if you want to sync your reading to the liturgy, this is your best choice. 3. New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) – Solid translation although it contains “gender inclusive language”, changing “brothers” to “friends” or “brothers and sisters” and removing instances of the divine “He”. 4. Douay-Rheims Version (DR) – This was the standard Bible for Englishspeaking Catholics from 1609 until the twentieth century. It’s a trusted version but some readers find it turgid, similar to the King James Version.

For instance, there’s the My Daily Catholic Bible (NAB) which divides all of Scripture into 365 segments, one for each day of the year. It features two small, manageable readings for each day, one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament, along with an insightful quote from a saint for every day. The best part is that the readings are all grouped together sequentially so you don’t have to flip back and forth each day between the Old and New Testaments. There’s also the Catholic One Year Bible which uses the Catholic Living Bible translation, a less-then-literal translation but one that many readers find looser and more accessible. In the end, what matters most is that you find a translation you’ll actually read. If you pick one that is cumbersome or inaccessible, then it doesn’t really matter whether it’s accurate. Your best bet is to sample a few translations online and then choose one you feel most comfortable reading each day. What’s the Best Plan? Similar to the translation question, the answer here is whichever plan you’ll follow. Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of starting with Genesis and trying to plow straight through to Revelation, linearly. The problem is that some of the early Old Testament books are meticulous, such as Leviticus and Numbers, and most people get bogged down, wiping out before finishing even half the Old Testament. What’s a better strategy? To follow a carefully designed reading plan that will take you through the right books, at the right pace. Some of these plans alternate between Old and New Testament readings, while some intersperse the Psalms throughout the year to add variation. My Personal Solution I mentioned above that I prefer the Revised Standard Version – 2nd Catholic Edition (RSV-2CE) for Scripture study. But I also have a secret weapon: the Verbum Bible software. I’ve written before about how amazing this is, calling it the most powerful Bible resource ever available. But it also makes it super easy to read the Bible in a year. The new Verbum comes with a built-in plan, right out of the box. The best part about using Verbum is that the reading plan syncs across all of your devices. So you can read your daily passages on your computer, tablet, phone or any other mobile device. It’s great for people like me who are constantly on the go and often forget to carry around a paperback Bible. Verbum also syncs your highlights and notes across all devices, so the reading experience is seamless. The Verbum software can be pretty expensive—the base packages each cost hundreds of dollars—but the cheapest way to get access to the software is by purchasing the Catechism of the Catholic Church Collection. It’s only $49.95 and gives you lifetime access to the powerful Verbum software (the most important resource), along with the Revised Standard Version – Catholic Edition (RSVCE), the lectionary (the readings used at Mass), the documents of Vatican II and the Council of Trent, and a few other resources. All of those documents can be accessed on the go, on any device you’re using. In my opinion, the cost of this is software is more than worth it if it enables you to finish the Bible in a year.
