That was really inspiring for me to see and I wanted to be like them." Claiming the state title is a result of Zaragoza's drive and countless hours training Zaragoza works out before school and even during school at lunchtime "She looked like she had that vision this year," Brawley girl's wrestling coach Raymond Leon said She had a dream and then her dream came true." "The extra work is the bare minimum," Zaragoza said "You have to go above and beyond if you want to be better." Zaragoza has been training against the boys for years and she credits that challenge as a major reason why she's risen above her competition "I think it's a really good thing because they are stronger and quicker," she said they don't care that I'm a girl they will give it to me so I just put put up a fight and I mean it really helps me in the end." so she is looking to repeat as a state champion next year Chas Messman joined KYMA in July 2023 as News 11’s Sports Director KYMA KECY is committed to providing a forum for civil and constructive conversation Please keep your comments respectful and relevant.

For more coverage, visit vcstar.com/news/elections Like all local elected offices in California the mayor of Oxnard is a nonpartisan position which means candidates aren’t nominated by political parties and their party affiliations don’t appear on the ballot But the city is heavily Democratic — for every registered Republican in Oxnard there are three Democrats — and it hasn’t had a Republican mayor in more than 30 years a Republican and an Oxnard city council member since 2008 has an uphill climb in his campaign for mayor But despite his apparent partisan disadvantage he is far ahead of his opponents in fundraising and has locked up several prominent endorsements including those of some local Democratic elected officials MacDonald is one of five mayoral candidates Oxnard is the largest city in Ventura County Its mayor represents more people than any other city-level elected official Oxnard is divided into districts for city council elections while the mayor is the only council member elected by the entire city The mayor has essentially the same powers as the other six council members except that the mayor presides over council meetings and often represents the city at official events and before other government agencies mayors and other city council members set policies and work part time while the city manager has the full-time job of running city hall on a day-to-day basis and managing the rest of the staff Oxnard pays its mayor around $31,000 a year John Zaragoza has been Oxnard's mayor for the past four years, after 12 years representing the area on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors and another 12 years before that on the Oxnard City Council. He announced in August he would not be running for reelection and only MacDonald has held public office before Velasquez and Zamora have run unsuccessfully for city council seats while Mc Arthur and Hernandez are in their first campaigns has been with the Oxnard Police Department since 1989 and is now one of the department's nine commanders but he said he plans to keep the job if he loses the election Mexico and raised there by his grandmother until he was about 6 and has a weekly Spanish-language radio show on Radio Indigena a station aimed at immigrants from Mexico of indigenous ancestry Mc Arthur has a co-host who translates the show into Mixtec the primary language of many indigenous immigrants from Mexico "I think I can easily transcend cultural differences "I'm trying to gain the trust of a community that comes from parts of their country with a lot of oppression and distrust Mc Arthur grew up in Oxnard but lived in Fillmore until a few months ago when he and his wife moved into a home she owns in the north-central part of Oxnard his top priorities will be "capitalizing on the growth we've already seen in our city and improving opportunities for everyone," as well as enhancing public safety he wants to pursue "innovative" policing strategies like drones to help officers see what's going on before they respond to a crime scene or emergency and city subsidies so low-income residents can afford cameras and other security features that wealthier homeowners often have On homelessness, Mc Arthur said the city is "moving in the right direction" with its plans for a downtown navigation center that will have temporary shelter permanent housing and services in one location and getting them to people who have often refused help in the past is a lack of jobs that pay well enough to afford the city's home prices and rents The city's median home price is around $800,000 while the average apartment rents for about $2,500 "We have a strong economy in our city if you look at the unemployment numbers but we don't have enough high-paying jobs." is from Santa Barbara but has lived in Oxnard for more than 50 years he spent his entire career with the Oxnard Police Department working there 30 years and retiring in 2006 at the rank of assistant chief MacDonald lives in the downtown area and represents District 4 He is the longest-serving member of the City Council and said he had considered making this his last term until he learned Zaragoza was going to retire as mayor because it would be a big loss for you both to go at the same time,'" MacDonald said MacDonald said he doesn't foresee big changes in Oxnard if he's elected mayor He said he's happy with the city's recent record of attracting major employers like Amazon approving more affordable housing and building a budget surplus for the first time in decades "I've been part of the team for 16 years and that team has gotten us to the point we are now," MacDonald said and it takes a majority of us to get anything done." MacDonald's party affiliation makes him a political minority in Oxnard: 54% of the city's registered voters are Democrats and 18% are Republicans, according to the latest data from the California Secretary of State's Office He said he doesn't think that's been a problem for him at all in city politics "I could not be less interested in the color of your skin pointing out that most of his mother's side of the family is Mexican-American "What I'm interested in helping you as an individual or as a group to do better in our city and to have a place to live and work and recreate in this area." Being a registered Republican has not stopped MacDonald from winning the support of some prominent local Democrats who represents the Oxnard area on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors who has endorsed MacDonald to be his successor and I've had the pleasure of working with Bryan for many years," Zaragoza said MacDonald also has the support of the labor unions that represent Oxnard firefighters police officers and most other city employees Mc Arthur said he missed out on some of those endorsements because he entered the race late He said he's long planned to enter local politics at some point but hadn't considered running for mayor this year until Zaragoza announced his retirement which was just before the deadline to file the papers to run for office Mc Arthur does have the support of some other unions and of the Ventura County Democratic Party The party is including him in its mailers and will campaign on his behalf chair of the Ventura County Democratic Party elected officials can endorse how they want but what's important is what the grassroots and the rank-and-file everyday voters of Oxnard support," Auclair said "I know the candidate is hard at work running a grassroots campaign Mc Arthur said his late start means he hasn't started raising money yet Grassroots campaignsThe other three candidates lack the high-profile endorsements and political party support that McArthur and MacDonald have secured so they are running grassroots campaigns that rely on direct contact with voters said she's conducting most of her campaign through her Instagram account and has used it to host meetups for the effort "I think maybe my methods are a little unorthodox .. but I want to be as 'me' as I can," she said began doing community organizing in her early 20s working with a group that protested police brutality and two high-profile killings of Oxnard residents by police "Landlords can still increase rent every year is from Mexico and has lived in Oxnard for the past 45 years His campaign is centered on his plan for reducing homelessness in Oxnard which has built a 51-acre master-planned development outside the city for people moving out of homelessness "Right here in this county and in the whole state of California we need to implement something like that It is feasible and workable for these human beings who are our brothers and sisters," Hernandez said "I believe these individuals deserve a second chance in life My heart breaks when I see these individuals going through those challenges in life and I know our government can provide more." Hernandez said he could work on a project like that without being mayor but it might take him 20 years to build enough community support and funding he thinks he could get it done in five years are improving the streets and parks in Oxnard is an Oxnard native who lives in the Fremont South neighborhood He's run for City Council three times in the past has been an activist for decades fighting against a plan back in the 1990s to build a halfway house in downtown Oxnard for people getting out of state prison and against a casino proposed for Oxnard's former outlet mall "I've been right in the trenches," he said He said his priorities if he's mayor will include better oversight of city spending and returning elected Treasurer Phil Molina to all of his duties overseeing city finances. The city stripped him of those duties but has been ordered by a court to restore most of them Velasquez also wants to freeze increases in water and sewer bills and reduce what he called "excessive use of outside consultants and law firms."

He added that years later the saint expressed his gratitude to God for having started his priestly life in that very place encouraging the faithful to entrust themselves to the intercession of the saint and reminding them that Perdiguera could proudly say: "Saint Josemaría belongs to everyone; mosén Josemaría [a title used for priests in Aragon and Catalonia] is ours." Inauguration of the small square and colloquium a small square was inaugurated in honor of Fr whose father was one of the children baptized by the young priest Jaso recalled how proudly her father told them that he had been baptized by a saint and how local memories still preserve testimonies of his dedication and closeness to all the townspeople The blessing of the new square was conducted by Fr the Monte Oscuro Hall hosted a colloquium titled "The Heritage of Perdiguera in the Message of Saint Josemaría," attended by around 200 people professor of legal history at the University of Zaragoza spoke about the historical context of the saint's time in the town Josemaría on the day of his arrival exactly one hundred years ago who was born in the town and works in hospitality spoke about her professional experience as a service to others complementing her remarks with heartfelt anecdotes a historian and daughter of a local resident spoke about her work in expanding Opus Dei across Europe biologist Nuria Mata shared her experience in founding schools and hospitals in the Congo and her current work with the NGO Profesionales Solidarios in Pamplona The event left attendees with a deep sense of gratitude for St Josemaría's presence in Perdiguera and understanding of his spiritual legacy and the ongoing relevance of his message which continues to inspire lives around the world The main event of the centenary took place in the very church where Saint Josemaría was ordained a priest on 28 March 1925 Monsignor Fernando Ocáriz recalled that Saint Josemaría often spent long hours in prayer in the upper right choir loft of this church The commemorative Mass was presided over by the Prelate of Opus Dei and concelebrated by nearly 200 priests including the Vicar General of the Archdiocese and the Rector of the Church of San Carlos help us to be souls of prayer and Eucharistic devotion so that we may also be apostolic souls," he prayed Monsignor Ocáriz visited the Holy Chapel of Our Lady of the Pillar where he presented one hundred roses in thanksgiving for the one hundred years of the founder’s priesthood invoking Our Lady as Mater Ecclesiae and praying for the health and intentions of Pope Francis as well as for the needs of the Church and the world He also cited two invocations beloved by Saint Josemaría: Ad Iesum per Mariam ("To Jesus through Mary") and Omnes cum Petro ad Iesum per Mariam ("All with Peter to Jesus through Mary") more than 1,400 people gathered at the Zaragoza Conference Center to meet with the Prelate Monsignor Ocáriz emphasized three key aspects of Saint Josemaría’s message: the centrality of Christ in everyday life In response to questions from married couples and young people he encouraged them to bring order to their daily lives and that true and lasting joy is born of love The event also included touching moments such as the singing of a traditional jota-villancico The event concluded with the recitation of the Our Father for Pope Francis The Prelate took the opportunity to thank all the faithful and friends of Opus Dei for their warm welcome and for making this anniversary celebration in Zaragoza so special The final applause expressed the deep affection of the attendees and reflected the true family spirit experienced throughout the day a Mass was celebrated in Rome at the Basilica of St he reflected on the Gospel scene in which St Josemaría showed readiness to fulfill God's will so that the Lord could completely fill his heart Josemaría lived with a profound sense of mission convinced that every person is worth "all of Christ's Blood."

He emphasized that "priests are ordained not to command he responded warmly to questions from the audience Fernando Ocáriz concluded the morning session with a conference on the centrality of the Eucharist in the life of a priest He reminded attendees that the Mass is the primary purpose of priestly ordination and emphasized St Josemaría's frequent encouragement to celebrate the Holy Mass calmly and with devotion he emphasized that the Founder thought of the Mass as his principal Marian devotion a priest asked how to improve in celebrating Mass after 25 years of priesthood The Prelate encouraged him to ask the Lord for this grace knowing that "we always need to improve," but he invited him to do so with joy and confidence that the Lord loves us as we are Fernando Ocáriz explained that he did not recall any striking gestures Josemaría's advice to "make the whole day a Mass," asked how to apply this especially in relationships with others The Prelate responded that "each person finds their own way but a practical approach is to see God in every person." concluded at the church of the Royal Seminary of St Charles Borromeo with a prayer vigil for priestly vocations with an atmosphere of piety and recollection One of the most moving moments was hearing St Josemaría's strong voice resonating through the speakers the founder of Opus Dei recounted his vocation and families) listened attentively in the dimly lit church Notable among them was the account of the parents of a priest from Calanda a seminarian who shared his conversion journey from engineering school to the seminary in Zaragoza who concluded with a solemn benediction with the Blessed Sacrament Printed | document generated automatically from https://opusdei.org/en/article/celebration-centenary-saint-josemaria-ordination/ (05/03/2025) Its architectural jewel is the Basilica del Pilar an impressive Baroque temple on the banks of the Ebro River Other highlights include the Aljaferia Palace where lively streets are filled with tapas bars and local traditions from the Pyrenees—perfect for hiking and skiing—to the striking Monegros desert The region is also home to charming towns like Albarracin and the Mudejar Route A visit to Aragon is a journey through nature A new €3.4 billion ($3.69bn) data center is being built in Zaragoza Box2Bit is building the new facility at the Entreviñas industrial estate in Cariñena south west of Zaragoza in Spain’s Aragon region construction work on the site is expected to start in Q4 2025 and the build is likely to take four years Technical details of the data center have not been shared News of the development was announced by Jorge Azcón who said it would be "transformative for the region" because "it will provide clear added value to our economy and will strengthen the powerful Aragonese technology sector which is already a reference not only in Spain More than 1,950 construction and operational jobs will be created as part of the project The company describes itself as a green data center developer focused on building on the Iberian Peninsula Backed by power company Capital Energy, Box2bit was founded in 2021, and a year later announced it intended to spend €3 billion ($3.26bn) building two data centers in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain the company is aiming to bring 2GW of data center capacity online and says its facilities will be powered by 100 percent renewable energy Azcón added: "The implementation of this project will not only mean a large direct investment and the creation of new jobs for the community but will also continue to put Aragon on the international map of Cloud regions.” Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.

Many of them no doubt remembering that Magbegor loves balling in the city "Obviously Spain is a beautiful country and it's always nice to come to Zaragoza but like I said it was definitely a team effort and it was an MVP performance from all of us it was great to have fans on my side," smiled the 25-year-old on the centrality of the Eucharist in the life of the priest at the academic ceremony on the 100th anniversary of Saint Josemaría’s priestly ordination (Zaragoza which can be translated automatically to English The full text in English can be found below As we celebrate the centenary of Saint Josemaría’s priestly ordination I would like to focus primarily on a few of his writings that explore various aspects of the relationship between the priesthood and the Eucharist also convey the lived experience of his deeply priestly soul I will begin by considering the priesthood as ordered to the Eucharist; then I will reflect on the importance of the Eucharist in the sanctification of the priest; and finally its role in the pastoral mission to which the priest is called This idea was so deeply engraved in his heart and soul that he repeated it frequently, both in speech and in writing.[2] At the same time, he would add that if the Eucharistic Sacrifice is the “the centre and root of our lives as Christians, it must be so in a special way in the priest’s life.”[3] It must have been a profound joy for Saint Josemaría when, years later, a text as significant as the Second Vatican Council’s Presbyterorum Ordinis would echo this very expression in referring to the relationship between the priesthood and the Eucharist, affirming that the Eucharistic Sacrifice is “the root and centre of the whole life of a priest.”[4] Pope Francis has highlighted how this identification with Christ the Priest extends to the priest’s entire life. A priest, he says, “cannot say, ‘Take this, all of you and eat of it, for this is my Body which will be given up for you,’ and not live the same desire to offer his own body, his own life, for the people entrusted to him.”[6] The priest’s profound transformation is intimately linked to the Eucharist. Saint Josemaría expressed this in a homily: “The sacrament of Orders, in effect, equips the priest to lend our Lord his voice, his hands, his whole being. It is Jesus Christ who, in the Holy Mass, through the words of the consecration, changes the substance of the bread and wine into his Body, Soul, Blood and Divinity. This is the source of the priest’s incomparable dignity.”[7] the worship of adoration rises to the Father This is how the Second Vatican Council puts it: “[Priests] exercise their sacred function especially in the Eucharistic worship or the celebration of the Mass by which acting in the person of Christ and proclaiming his Mystery they unite the prayers of the faithful with the sacrifice of their Head [...], Christ offering Himself once for all a spotless Victim to the Father (cf. Heb 9:11-28).”[9] It is easy to see why nothing else can be the true centre of a priest’s life. In fact, one could say that the Holy Mass is the primary purpose of ordination; the act in which “the priestly ministry encounters its fullness, its meaning, its centre and its effectiveness.”[10] Of course, the dignity of the priesthood stands alongside each priest’s awareness of his own unworthiness. This very awareness becomes the first reason to strive to live in close union with the Lord.[11] During the celebration of the Eucharist the prayers the priest says quietly – prayers addressed to the Lord in his own name – help him to become more aware of his mission and to carry it out with greater attention and reverence These prayers often have a penitential tone and are placed at key moments in the Eucharistic celebration: before proclaiming the Gospel at the conclusion of the Offertory as he prepares to enter the great Eucharistic Prayer and before receiving the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion The priest is conscious that, by the grace he received at his ordination and the Holy Spirit’s action in the Church, when he approaches the altar, it is not he who prepares to worship the Father, but Christ Himself who, in him, “renews on the altar his divine sacrifice of Calvary.”[12] c) The Eucharist and other priestly functions all a priest’s activity flows from the Eucharist as its deepest source The celebration of the Eucharist is not the priest’s only function; nevertheless it is clearly his principal and most essential mission also because in it all the mysteries of the Christian faith are summed up The Eucharist and the priest’s sanctification Considering what the Eucharist is, one understands well why Saint Josemaría wrote: “Because of the priesthood’s sacred functions, it requires much more than an honest life: it demands a holy life of those who exercise it, for they have been constituted mediators between God and mankind.”[16] a) The Eucharist and conformity with Christ In the configuration with Christ the Head, proper to the ordained ministry, the Presbyterorum Ordinis decree points out that “by the sacred actions which are theirs daily as well as by their entire ministry which they share with the bishop and their fellow priests, [priests] are directed to perfection in their lives.”[17] The Eucharistic Sacrifice, in which the priest fulfills his primary role or mission, is at the same time – for the priest and for every Christian – the principal means of sanctification and identification with Christ. In Benedict XVI’s words, “If celebrated in a faith-filled and attentive way, Mass is formative in the deepest sense of the word, since it fosters the priest's configuration to Christ and strengthens him in his vocation.”[18] This deep formative aspect of the celebration itself makes sense if we remember that the “words and rites [of the liturgy] are a faithful expression, matured over the centuries, of the understanding of Christ, and they teach us to think as He Himself does; by conforming our minds to these words, we raise our hearts to the Lord.”[19] The Holy Mass thus becomes a school of life Moreover, this identification with Christ during the celebration can at times lead to moments in which “our Lord may show us aspects of our lives in which each one of us must improve, vices we must conquer, and the kind of brotherly attitude that we should develop with regard to all men.”[20] through the celebration and in various ways the priest’s life is gradually transformed into a Eucharistic existence not only because he is nourished by the Eucharist and because its celebration is the central act of his life the priest seeks to live with the same disposition with which Christ becomes the food of his brothers and sisters b) From the Trinity and toward the Trinity a hallmark of Christian life – flows from the Eucharist The Eucharist is therefore the reality around which a priest’s spiritual life is structured: it is his root and his centre his source and the sacramental anticipation of his ultimate goal This centrality and foundational role grants all Christians – and in particular priests – the capacity to transform all daily activity into worship of God Saint Josemaría especially highlighted this teaching when speaking to ordinary faithful living and working in the middle of the world since it concerns all who share in Christ’s priesthood whether it is the common or the ministerial priesthood Priests know that they have been chosen from among their brothers and sisters to present the offering of the Church, which Christ Himself takes up and makes his own, to the Father. Thus Saint Josemaría strove to make the whole day a kind of Mass, seeking to let that act of worship overflow – as he taught others to do – into aspirations, visits to the Blessed Sacrament, and the offering of work and ordinary relationships.[23] The fact that the Eucharist is truly the centre and root of a priest’s life is not only a gift but also a personal task, a response to what he has received from God. In one of his Holy Thursday Letters to Priests, Saint John Paul II wrote: “May we always celebrate the Holy Eucharist with fervour. May we dwell long and often in adoration before Christ in the Eucharist. May we sit at the ‘school’ of the Eucharist.”[24] A priest can manifest his love for the Holy Mass – his effort to give it the central place it objectively deserves – in many different ways Saint Josemaría often divided his day into two parts: the first half to give thanks for Communion and the second to prepare for the next day’s Mass d) Accompanying the Lord in the Tabernacle Alongside the celebration of Holy Mass – in which the priest’s personal relationship with the Eucharist is realized in a special way – Christ’s permanent presence in the Tabernacle is a constant reminder to give one’s whole life a definitively Eucharistic orientation The long periods of time Saint Josemaría spent in evening prayer beside the Tabernacle of La Redonda it is impossible not to remember the nights he spent praying in one of the galleries overlooking the sanctuary of the Seminary Church of San Carlos He maintained this same devotion throughout the years and he is well known for the way he promoted Eucharistic worship even at times when the Church’s faith in the Real Presence was being questioned in many places the priest’s response to the Eucharistic gift which is at the centre of his spiritual life naturally overflows into action guided by pastoral charity Pastoral charity leads the priest to be a servant of all. In one of his letters, Saint Josemaría wrote that priests, “following the example of the Lord – who came not to be served, but to serve: non veni ministrari, sed ministrare (Mt 20:28) – must know how to lay their hearts on the ground so that others may tread softly.”[31] This attitude does not stem from a mere ethical decision; it has its source in a personal relationship with God the God who lowers Himself and gives Himself to the point of becoming nourishment for his creatures in the Eucharist which is conferred on the priest in the sacrament of Holy Orders and must be reflected in his daily conduct In celebrating the Eucharist, we must strive to identify with Christ’s self-giving, incarnating it in our own lives. Saint Josemaría explained this vividly in one of his homilies: “If we do not work God's land, are not faithful to the divine mission of giving ourselves to others, helping them recognize Christ, we will find it very difficult to understand what the eucharistic bread is. No one values something which does not cost an effort.”[35] If the Eucharist is for the priest the “central and radical” place of his identification with Christ and his salvific gift pastoral charity will necessarily lead him to guide the faithful to this same source of life in which the common priesthood of the faithful also finds its principal expression The priest does this not only through preaching but also by “living” the Mass with this same faith: he celebrates the Eucharist for the Church and in the presence of the Church – even when the people are not present – and for this reason his life is called to imitate the sacrifice of Christ who “loved the Church and gave Himself up for her” (Eph 5:25) Priests – imitating what they hold in their hands namely Christ’s total self-giving – draw from the Eucharist the spiritual strength needed to joyfully sacrifice themselves in service to their brothers the priest’s Eucharistic life is expressed in countless small gestures of care and attention It is especially revealed in the mercy with which he receives those who come to the Church seeking reconciliation and in the love with which he goes out to those who do not yet know Christ or have drifted away from him he prepares and guides all people toward an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist fully aware of our deep need for a personal relationship with Him Finally, it is important to recall that the centrality and radicality of the Eucharist in the priest’s ministry – both as a gift and as a task – has an essential ecclesial dimension. “The Eucharist, in which the Lord gives us his Body and transforms us into one Body, is where the Church expresses herself permanently in most essential form. While present everywhere, she is yet only one, just as Christ is one.”[40] gives life to the community of the faithful and ensures his life-giving presence to the entire Church through the celebration of the Eucharist the Lord visibly gathers his priestly People destined to praise God by exercising their baptismal priesthood becomes present in it through his ministers; those who are constituted as his instruments for the good of the entire People of God once brought forth by the action of the Holy Spirit through preaching and spread thanks to the power of the Eucharist which is the supreme act of worship and the primary source of salvation “It is because of this, Saint Josemaría says, “that we can consider the Mass as the centre and the source of a Christian's spiritual life. It is the aim of all the sacraments. The life of grace, into which we are brought by baptism, and which is increased and strengthened by confirmation, grows to its fullness in the Mass.”[44] I would not like to conclude these reflections without a reference to the Blessed Virgin Mary In the article Saint Josemaría wrote in 1974 about our Lady of the Pillar the first Marian devotion – I like to see it that way – is the Holy Mass.” And so, he concluded: “Closeness with Jesus in the Sacrifice of the Altar necessarily brings with it closeness with Mary, his Mother.
