The Spouse of Christ [the Church] must pattern her behavior after the Son of God who went out to everyone without exception. In the present day, as the Church is charged with the task of the new evangelization, the theme of mercy needs to be proposed again and again with new enthusiasm and renewed pastoral action.

PAGE 6 Readings for the Week... TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Brought before the Sanhedrin, the apostles give witness to Jesus Christ. (Acts 5:27-32, 40b-41). Psalm — I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me (Psalm 30). Second Reading — In his vision John sees all in heaven and on earth give honor and glory to the one on the throne and to the Lamb (Revelation 5:11-14). Gospel — Jesus appears to the disciples by the sea of Tiberias (John 21:1-19 [1-14]). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. REDEMPTION Do you remember Peter on the night Jesus was arrested? He claimed he had never heard of Jesus. Today we are called to join Peter in testifying to the name of Jesus as he does in the first reading, and in proclaiming our love for him as Peter does in the Gospel passage. The powerful imagery of John’s vision in the second reading from the book of Revelation shows us the company we keep when we have faith in the name of Jesus. We join all living creatures, “countless in number” from “heaven, earth, under the earth, in the sea; everything in the universe” (Revelation 5:11, 13). The dignity and majesty described in each reading are in stark contrast to the dark and pitiful image of Peter and the other apostles at the time of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion. What a relief that we can all be redeemed so completely! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Some, but by no means everyone, wanted a kind of monastic life. Others wanted to stay in the family home. By the fourth century, the church was celebrating the “Consecration of Virgins,” a rite performed by the bishop, and involving a “veiling” of the woman. It was looked upon as a form of marriage with Christ, partly because in the culture of the day a woman’s status in society was linked to a man. The prayers and ritual for the consecration of virgins were exactly the same as the prayers and ritual for the consecration of a bride on her wedding day. The public character of the rite gave the bishop the opportunity to commend the virgin to the faithful, and to threaten with punishment anyone who tried to turn her from her commitment. Eventually, the rite fell into disuse for women living in the world, and was reserved for nuns. The Second Vatican Council directed that it be revived and restored, and in nearly every diocese, single women have embraced this form of consecrated life. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. PAGE 7 Parish News cont: Sacred Heart Church Bible Study Sacred Heart Church has begun a 24 week bible study program in Cavanaugh Hall.

The student will learn the major people, places, and events of the Bible and see how they all come together to reveal the remarkable story of our faith. Fr. Art Najera will be our facilitator. Please call the parish office to sign up. DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR DO NOT LEAVE IN PEW Dear Friends, We are blessed to live in a beautiful community and our two local cities of Covina and West Covina are safe neighborhoods with little crime and good neighbors. However there are always a few problems; because of that sad reality I must remind you to: Please NEVER leave any valuables visible in your car and NEVER let anyone see you storing them under your seat or in the trunk for example (store them safely out of site before you leave home). And please NEVER leave your purse or any valuables in the pews even when you come up for Communion.

From the sights and sounds for the grand Basilica to a touchable cast of Saint John Paul II’s Hand, it’s true “insiders” view of the Vatican, including spiritual, artistic, and ceremonial treasures. It’s a lesson for us all to better understand our history and faith presented in both English and Spanish.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera Lectura — Llevados ante el sanedrín, los apóstoles dieron testimonio de Jesucristo (Hch 5:27-32, 40b-41). Salmo — Te alabaré, Señor, eternamente. Aleluya (Salmo 30(29)). Segunda Lectura — En su visión Juan ve todo en el cielo y en la tierra rindiendo honores y gloria al que está en el trono y al Cordero (Apocalipsis 5:11-14). Evangelio — Jesús se aparece a los discípulos cerca del mar de Tiberíades (Juan 21:1-19 [1-14]). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario I © 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados. REDIMIDOS ¿Recuerdas a Pedro la noche que arrestaron a Jesús? Insistía en que nunca había oído de Jesús. Hoy estamos llamados a unirnos a Pedro en dar testimonio del nombre de Jesús como lo hace en la primera lectura, y a proclamar nuestro amor a él tal como lo hace Pedro en el pasaje del Evangelio. La poderosa imagen de la visión de san Juan en la segunda lectura del libro del Apocalipsis nos enseña la comunidad a la que pertenecemos cuando tenemos fe en el nombre de Jesús. Nos unimos a todos los seres vivientes “miles y millones” en “el cielo, sobre la tierra, debajo de ella y en el mar, y todo lo que hay en ellos” (Apocalipsis 5:11, 13). La majestad y dignidad expresadas en cada lectura están en profundo contraste con la oscura y miserable imagen de Pedro y los otros apóstoles en los momentos en que Jesús era arrestado, juzgado y crucificado. ¡Qué alivio que todos podemos ser tan totalmente redimidos!

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Hch 6:8-15; Sal 119 (118):23-24, 26-27, 29-30; Jn 6:22-29 Martes: Hch 7:51 — 8:1a; Sal 31 (30):3cd-4, 6, 7b, 8a, 17, 21ab; Jn 6:30-35 Miércoles: Hch 8:1b-8; Sal 66 (65):1-3a, 4-7a; Jn 6:35-40 Jueves: Hch 8:26-40; Sal 66 (65):8-9, 16-17, 20; Jn 6:44-51 Viernes: Hch 9:1-20; Sal 117 (116):1bc, 2; Jn 6:52-59 Sábado: Hch 9:31-42; Sal 116 (115):12-17; Jn 6:60-69 Domingo: Hch 13:14, 43-52; Sal 100 (99):1-3, 5; Ap 7:9, 14b-17; Jn 10:27-30 LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Tercer Domingo de Pascua Lunes: San Estanislao Miércoles: San Martín I TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Muchas primeras comuniones se celebran en el Tiempo de Pascua. Además de recibir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Jesús por primera vez en su vida los comulgantes reciben un libro de oraciones, un rosario y un escapulario. Como recuerdo del evento, muchos comulgantes regalan a sus amigos y parientes alguna estampita religiosa. Las estampitas llevan imágenes de Jesucristo, la Virgen, los ángeles o los santos y son muy populares entre los latinos. Las ponemos en nuestros autos, en libros como la Biblia o libros de oración. Las tenemos en altarcitos domésticos o metidos en los marcos de las fotos de nuestros seres queridos. Muchos critican esta práctica recordando que en Éxodo 20:3-5, Dios prohibió el uso de ídolos. Esto la Iglesia católica nunca lo ha negado, pero recuerda que Dios también pidió imágenes de ángeles para la arca de la alianza (Éxodo 25: 17). En Números 21:8 mandó hacer una imagen milagrosa de una serpiente. Ninguna de esas imágenes es considerada un ídolo porque son imágenes al servicio de Dios y recuerdo de su presencia igual que las estampitas e imágenes religiosas. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J.

"Con el Bautismo y la Eucaristía, el Sacramento de la Confirmación constituye el conjunto de los ‘sacramentos de la iniciación Cristiana’, cuya unidad debe ser salvaguardada. Es preciso, pues, explicar que la recepción de este sacramento es necesaria para la plenitud de la gracia bautismal. En efecto, a los bautizados, el sacramento de la Confirmación los une más íntimamente a la Iglesia y los enriquece con una fortaleza especial del Espíritu Santo. De esta forma quedamos obligados aún más, como auténticos testigos de Cristo, a extender y defender nuestra fe con sus palabras y sus obras" 1285 Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica. ¿SABÍA USTED?
