Baptisms
God the Father gave us his only begotten Son for our sake, to redeem us from slavery to sin and death.
There is no greater proof of God's love for us than the Cross of Jesus Christ. In the cross we see a new way of love
– a love that is unselfish and selflessly directed to serve others for their good, and a sacrificial love that is forgiving,
compassionate, and merciful beyond comprehension. Jesus says to us, his disciples, to love one another just as he has
loved us. Jesus has clearly commanded us to sacrificial, unconditional love. He calls us to love the Judases in our lives.
He calls us to lay down our live in love, even for our enemies. This new commandment of love is the essence of salvation,
the meaning of life, and the way to the Father.
How can we love our neighbor selflessly, sacrificially, and with compassion? Through the victory of the cross
and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we now have access to God's unlimited mercy, grace, and power to love and forgive
even those who cause us grief and suffering. God gives us new life in his Holy Spirit and he fills our hearts with the
supernatural gifts of faith, hope, and love. Paul the Apostle reminds us that "God's love has been poured into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us" (Romans 5:5). As we turn to God with trust and obedience,
he transforms our hearts and frees us from our hurts and prejudices so that we can choose to love others with
compassion, kindness, and mercy. Jesus has set us free from slavery to fear, sin, and prejudice.
We are now free to choose for his way of love and life.

OUR #1 DRAFT PICK: YOU!
While the NFL Draft got underway this week, we, at St. Joan,
were also looking for prospects to strengthen our Team. We
need seasoned players and rookies devoted to prayer , Eucharistic
Worship, and mass attendance.
Next, we need volunteers to fill out the ranks of our many ministries
and have talents to promote our Journey Forward Initiatives.
Lastly, we need financial supporters to carry the burden of our
expenses for repairs, maintenance, school up-grades, and tuition
assistance. You can do this through our weekly Offertory Collection,
The Coat of Arms Society, or special gifts. Commit now! The Lord’s
Season is all year long. The competition is intense; but the rewards
are divine! Bonus credits for participation and performance will be
decided by Upper Management. God Bless.

PASTOR´S MESSAGE
FAMILY FAITH AND FUN DAY
T
hree years ago when I asked our
ministry leadership and special projects
team to begin a new tradition here,
I had no idea it would turn out being so successful.
I asked for a family celebration that would appeal
especially to our school and CCD families.
I envisioned games, activities, food, entertainment and lots of fun. The idea was to re-enforce the fact that our parish is a community
made up of many families and that we need to support and strengthen the bonds of friendship and of faith. We need to create a
culture that is more focused on people and not on things and a culture that is simple, welcoming and joyful.
The fact that we have such a day as our Family Faith and Fund Day underscores the respect and concern that we have for our
families especially those who are right in the midst of raising the next generation of Catholics and of passing on our distinctive
Catholic way of life. We handle both of those sacred responsibilities together as community and with the support and gifts of all. In
past times our immigrant grandparents and parents stuck together with a tremendous tenacity of purpose so as not to lose language,
culture, and especially a sense of family. Today, in our own way, we try to do the same. Our day of celebration here was filled with
inter-generational fun and the re-enforcement of family bonds. The picture gallery that was in last weeks' bulletin proved the adage
that "a picture is worth a thousand words".
The fact that all of this family fun took place on church grounds and under the shadow of our large
cross says a lot about us. We know that God's love has brought us into being and sustains our lives with
providential love. What better place is there to be than on our "holy ground"? This " Holy ground" is holy
not only because it is location of God's house but because it is also the home of God's holy people who
sanctify it with our presence.
We must not think, however, that family holiness only happens when we are on church grounds. In our
own homes, the work, activities, meals, recreation and family prayers make of the home "holy ground" filled
with God's love and grace. Every act of family life can be holy if it is entered into with a loving intention and
purpose. Simple acts of affirmation, forgiveness, support and teamwork if they are done with Christian love
sanctify our homes and make of them "domestic churches" and "temples of the Holy Spirit".
Check out again the pictures of Family Faith and Fun Day that were in last weeks' bulletin. Quite possibly
your picture is there. If not, next year let's make sure that it is.

The 2013 Diocesan Services Appeal recently
launched in parishes across the Diocese of Palm
Beach. There are many ministries and programs
supported by this annual appeal. Because of
the DSA, and your generosity, the Diocese can
continue to support the many aspects of our
larger Church, including the 53 parishes and
missions, and our 19 schools. The DSA is the
primary source of funding for the Diocese,
providing more than 70 percent of the annual
operating income. The strength of our diocese
comes from us recognizing God’s gifts and sharing
a portion of these gifts for building up the Kingdom
of God. Please contribute to the Diocesan Services
Appeal and help us meet our Parish Goal.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION AT ST. JOAN OF ARC CHURCH & SCHOOL
First Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic's life. It means that a person has received the
Sacrament of the Eucharist, the body and blood of Jesus Christ. On May 11, 2013, many of our St. Joan of Arc children will receive their First Holy
Communion at our beautiful Church in front of our majestious Corpus of Christ, what a wonderful way to remember this occasion than by wearing the
Sterling Silver St. Joan of Arc Corpus of Christ necklace or lapel pin, available for sale at our Church Bookstore and online at www.stjoan.org
These necklaces and lapel pins make a wonderful gift too! 561-393-0006
Necklace $40 • Lapel pin $30
PARISH LITURGY COMMITTEE
MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION!
Once again, comes May 12, Sunday, we will be celebrating Mother's Day. Yes, as
grateful children, we ought to show our love and reverence to our dear Mothers both
living and deceased every day of our lives. But Mother’s Day is a special day to remember
in a special way the most special persons in our lives: our beloved Mothers .
We can give her a bouquet of roses, surprise her with expensive jewelry, take her on a
grand vacation, or treat her to a sumptuous dinner. Either one is more than enough to
express our love if the intention is coming from the heart. But the best gift that we
can ever give her is the Holy Eucharist.
Roses will wither, jewelry will lose its glamour, memories of grand vacation and sumptuous
dinner will fade but the Holy Eucharist stores in her treasures in heaven, “where neither
moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
(MATTHEW 6:19-20)
So please remember your Mom in our 9 day-Novena of Masses. Envelopes are
available at the Credence Table or ask an Usher for help. Always remember, "
He who gives glory to his mother prepares a treasure for himself." (SIRACH 3:4)

V DOMINGO DE PASCUA, CICLO C. SAN JUAN 13, 31-33A. 34-35:
SER JUSTOS
EL PAPA FRANCISCO HABLA
A LA JUVENTUD Y PIDE ORACIÓN
POR LAS VOCACIONES
¡Queridos hermanos y hermanas, buenos días!
"Es necesario jugarse la juventud por grandes
ideales. ¡Pregunta a Jesús qué cosa quiere de
ti y sé valiente!"
"¡La voz de Jesús es única! Si aprendemos a
distinguirla, Él nos guía por el camino de la
vida".
Hoy, aquí en la Plaza hay muchos jóvenes.
Quisiera preguntarles: ¿han escuchado a veces
la voz del Señor que a través de un deseo, una
inquietud, les invitaba a seguirlo más de
cerca? ¿Han tenido ganas de ser apóstoles de
Jesús? Es necesario jugarse la juventud por
grandes ideales. ¡Pregunta a Jesús qué cosa
quiere de ti y sé valiente! Detrás y antes de
cada vocación al sacerdocio o a la vida consagrada, está siempre la oración fuerte e intensa de alguien: de una abuela, de un abuelo,
de una madre, de un padre, de una comunidad… Es por esto que Jesús ha dicho:
«¡Rueguen al dueño de los sembrados –o sea
a Dios Padre- que envíe trabajadores para la
cosecha!» (Mt 9,38).

Padre Francisco Fernández Carvajal
(CON PERMISO DE: EDICIONES PALABRA
Y DEL AUTOR)
I. La palabra del Señor es sincera y
todas sus acciones son leales; Él ama
la justicia y el derecho, y su
misericordia llena la tierra1.
La justicia es la virtud cardinal que
permite una convivencia recta y limpia
entre los hombres. Sin esta virtud, la
convivencia se torna imposible, la
sociedad, la familia, la empresa dejan
de ser humanas y se convierten en
lugares donde el hombre atropella al
hombre. La justicia regula la
convivencia de la sociedad humana en
cuanto humana, es decir, basada en el respeto de los
derechos personales; «es principio fundamental de la
existencia y de la coexistencia de los hombres, como
también de las comunidades humanas, de las sociedades y de los pueblos».
Un aspecto de esta virtud atañe a las relaciones con el
vecino, con el compañero, con el amigo, con el colega
y, en general, con toda persona: regula estas relaciones
de los hombres entre sí, dando a cada uno lo que le es
debido. Otra faceta de la justicia se refiere a los
deberes de la sociedad en relación a lo que a cada
individuo le corresponde. Por último, existe otro plano
de la justicia, que regula aquello que cada individuo
concreto debe a la comunidad a la que pertenece, al
todo del que forma parte.
La justicia en una sociedad viene de quienes la
componen. Son las personas quienes proyectan en la
sociedad su justicia o su injusticia, sobre todo quienes
en ellas tienen más responsabilidad. Y esto es válido
en la familia, en la empresa, en la nación o en el
conjunto de naciones que componen el mundo. Si de
verdad queremos que la justicia impere en una
sociedad –ya se trate de una aldea o de la nación–,
hagamos justos a los hombres que la componen: que
cada uno de nosotros comience a ser justo en ese triple
plano: con quienes nos relacionamos cada día, con
quienes dependen de nosotros, dando lo que debemos
a la sociedad de la que formamos parte. Esta es la
primera obligación moral de la justicia, ser justos en
todos los aspectos de nuestra vida: convivir con rectitud
y limpieza, ser justos con la familia, con el vecino...
con el Estado. La lucha porque impere una mayor
justicia en la sociedad es fruto de una serie de
decisiones personales, que van modelando el alma de
la persona que ejercita esta virtud. Con actos concretos
de justicia, el hombre se moverá cada vez con más
facilidad por «una voluntad constante e inalterable de
dar a cada uno lo suyo», pues en esto consiste la
esencia de esta virtud.
Si hay una tarea noble y bella que corresponde al
común de los ciudadanos es precisamente la de trabajar, con responsabilidad personal, por una sociedad más
justa, recta y limpia.

MINISTERIO HISPANO AVISOS PARROQUIALES
VIENE DE LA PAGINA ANTERIOR...
"Las vocaciones nacen en la oración y de la oración; y
sólo en la oración pueden perseverar y fructificar".
Me gusta subrayarlo hoy, que es la “Jornada mundial
de oración por las vocaciones”. Oremos en particular
por los nuevos Sacerdotes de la Diócesis de Roma que
he tenido la alegría de ordenar esta mañana.
E invoquemos la intercesión de María, que es la Mujer
del “sí”. Ella ha aprendido a reconocer la voz de Jesús
desde cuando lo llevaba en el vientre. ¡Que María nos
ayude a conocer cada vez mejor la voz de Jesús y a
seguirla, para caminar en el camino de la vida.

“Los obispos de los Estados Unidos, reconociendo el valor del sacrificio espiritual y corporal en la vida de la Iglesia animan a todos los fieles a
hacer ayuno y abstinencia todos los viernes por la intención de la protección de la vida, el matrimonio, y la libertad religiosa.”
MARCA CON UNA “X” SI CREES QUE EL “AMOR” ES:
1. __Entrega personal sin egoísmos
2. __Espíritu de sacrificio
3. __Respeto a la intimidad de la persona amada
4. __Respeto a su dignidad de ser humano
5. __Uso de la razón que contrarreste el desbordamiento animal de la pasión.
6. __Conocimiento y respeto de las leyes de la naturaleza racional
LITURGIA DE LA PALABRA PARA LOS NIÑOS
Objetivo
Este ministerio proporciona a los niños la oportunidad de celebrar la Liturgia
de la Palabra en su propio idioma, expresan y exploran el amor incondicional
con Dios.
En las misas en español los niños se reúnen en la capilla durante las lecturas y
la homilía, para celebrar la Liturgia de la Palabra.
Todos los sábados durante la Misa Dominical de las 6:30pm, se celebra la Liturgia de la Palabra para los niños. Después de la oración de apertura, los niños
a partir de los 4 años de edad, se reúnen en la capilla durante las lecturas y la
homilía. Los niños son acompañados por maestros catequistas hacia la capilla
en dónde se lee la palabra y se da una explicación con su participación. Los
niños son recibidos de vuelta en la iglesia para participar de la celebración de la
Eucaristía y son ellos que llevan las ofrendas al altar. Les pedimos a los papas
que incentiven a los niños a participar y recibir ellos también la Palabra.
Si usted ha marcado ”X” en las seis opciones, felicitaciones es usted un experto
en el amor.
Incluso el dolor puede convertirse en felicidad si hay amor verdadero:
“Mi vida es toda de amor
Y si en amor estoy ducho
Es por fuerza del dolor,
Pues no hay amante mejor
Que aquel que ha sufrido mucho!
Juan de la Encina poeta castellano del siglo XIV
