NEWMAN SAYS “THANK YOU”
It is with many thanks that we acknowledge the
parishioners of Old Mission for their generous donations
on for the Newman Catholic Center on April 16 & 17th. We
sincerely wish we were able to thank each of you. Your
support for this ministry is a vote of confidence in the
young adults who are the future of the Church and our
communities. A student’s hunger for faith, for community
and for service is both a source of great hope and a treasure
for our Church. You will be remembered in the hearts and
prayers of the Newman Community. May Christ grant you
peace and continue to bless the parish family of Old Mission.
With much gratitude and prayers,
Fr. John Ulrich, S.M., Director,
and the Students and Staff of the Newman Catholic Community

Got Compassion?
When Mary woke up to a doorbell that terrible Sunday morning she
didn’t know her life would change forever. Her 20 year daughter did
not come home the night before and the police officers were outside
her door to inform her that Lydia was in a fatal automobile accident
at 2:30am. The trauma of a child’s death is overwhelming. Even
though Lydia’s older brother was estranged from his sister, he tried
to be present for his mother, he and his three children were dealing
with their own complex grief. Mary’s friend told her about the grief
counseling at Catholics Charities. Over the course of the next ten
months, Catholic Charities Mental Health Service provide multiple
sessions for Mary, her son, his wife, and their children. It takes time
to live through the grief process and the many complicated issues
that emerge in the process. The skilled clinicians at Catholic Charities
listened with compassion and helped sort out the feelings along the
road to healing. Please remember this family and others like them,
during the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal, May 14/15.
Retreat Offering: “Resting Deep in the Faith”
Jesus said, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some
rest.” Mark 6:31. Our culture speeds along full of confusion and noise,
which numbs us and leaves us spritually famished. So get off the
“hamster wheel,” settle down, and focus on the important things
in life! Join Fr. Jeffrey “Skip” Thompson, MSA, for a 5 day, 4 night
retreat in the cloister of the old Mission San Antonio in Jolon, CA.
May 19-23, 2016. For information on the program, costs and deadline
for registration email: [email protected]. Or call him directly
at: 916-710-1991. Conference topics include: Resting in the fact of
Jesus Christ; Desire and vision for life; Resting in the reasonableness
of faith; Confidence in the Church and the Scriptures; Divine
encounter with God via the Eucharist; the Relief of Sanctity; Saints
allied with us… and much more. Space is limited.

EFLECTION OF THE WEEK
May 1, 2016
Sixth Sunday of Easter
In this Gospel, Jesus prepared his
disciples for his return to God.
Jesus promised them that the Holy
Spirit would live within them and
provide strength and courage. The
Spirit would always be available
to help them as a counselor and
advocate. Through the Spirit,
they would recall the words and
teachings of Jesus and even come
to understand these things in a
way that they could not before.
In addition the disciples would
receive peace from the Spirit.
The peace of the Spirit would be
a “shalom” kind of peace which
provided a special inner serenity.
Reflection question:
Adults: What difference has it made in
your life when you made a decision
in accord with Jesus’ teaching?
Children: When will you have to
make a decision this week? What
will help you make a good decision?
Reflection and questions from RCL Benziger.

L DON DE PAZ
E
Se nos ofrece una visión distinta en la segunda
lectura de hoy, una visión de la Nueva Jerusalén, “que
descendía del cielo, resplandeciente con la gloria de
Dios” (Apocalipsis 21:10). Si buscamos el significado
detrás de la descripción de la radiante ciudad, vemos
que la belleza mayor que se revela es la belleza de una
perfecta armonía y orden, una ciudad fundada en la
fe de las doce tribus de Israel y los doce Apóstoles,
alumbrada únicamente por la gloria de Dios.
La primera lectura y el Evangelio también van
conectados a esta descripción idealizada de la Nueva
Jerusalén. En ambos leemos como la angustia y los
altercados se contrarrestan con el don de la paz. “Mi paz
les doy”, les asegura Jesús a sus discípulos en la Última
Cena (Juan 14:27). De acuerdo con ese don, los apóstoles
y presbíteros, en la lectura de los Hechos, deciden no
alterar la paz de los nuevos creyentes gentiles. No han
de imponerles la excesiva carga de la circuncisión.

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
1o de mayo de 2016 • Sexto Domingo de Pascua
En documentos oficiales, presentaciones y homilías
que delinean el propósito del Año Jubilar de
la Misericordia, el Papa Francisco explica
que la compasión y la comprensión por
aquellas personas en situaciones difíciles
no es solamente nuestra responsabilidad
personal, sino algo que toda la Iglesia
oficialmente necesita manifestarse. Hoy
el texto de los Hechos de los Apóstoles
presenta un ejemplo conmovedor de la
Iglesia de los primeros siglos haciendo
precisamente eso. El comienzo de una
oración al Espíritu Santo asegura a la asamblea
que ellos no actuaron solos discerniendo la
decisión correcta: “Porque pareció bien al Espíritu Santo y
a nosotros”. Y ellos ya eligieron una respuesta compasiva:
“no imponerles mayor carga que estas cosas esenciales”
(Hechos 15:28). Sin embargo, que creativamente, la mayoría
judía puso a un lado los rituales establecidos de toda la
vida que establecían identidad y expresaban fidelidad a
la alianza. Que confianza tan fundamental, la comunidad
afirma principios validos universalmente y al mismo tiempo
respeta situaciones personales y particulares. ¡Exactamente la
gracia por la que el Papa Francisco ora que este Año Jubilar
renueve a la Iglesia de hoy!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Tristemente una vez que muchos latinoamericanos llegan
a los Estados Unidos es difícil regresar a sus tierras de origen,
ni siquiera para visitar. Por esta razón, muchos pueblos
latinoamericanos han construido santuarios a sus vírgenes
y santos patrones en tierra estadounidense. De esta manera
buscan estar cerca al suelo que les trajo a luz, que les nutrió
con frutas, verduras, flores, cantos, costumbres y tradiciones.
En Miami el pueblo cubano ha construido una ermita
dedicada a la Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre, cuya capilla
del Santísimo fue bendecida en la fiesta de la Ascensión del
Señor. Debajo de su altar principal se guarda una piedra
hecha con tierra de las distintas provincias de Cuba. Es bello
el hecho, porque de esta manera todo cubano que se acerca
al altar del Señor puede estar cerca de su terruño aunque sea
solo por un momento.
Que hay en la tierra que nos llama tanto a nosotros los
latinos. Será que el libro del Génesis tiene razón, Dios forma
toda persona del polvo y el corazón latino anhela la tierra de
la que fue sacado.
