This is a reminder of how we should live our lives 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week – putting God first in all that we do. Not only
when I am at Mass and parish activities, but when I am in the
world, at work or at school. Living gratefully and generously is a
lifestyle, it’s how I make all my decisions.
THIS WEEK, FR. DAN, FR. MIKE & FR. VICTOR will be in the Annual Archdiocesan
Convocation. They will be out Monday, May 9, Tuesday, May 10, Wednesday, May
11, and Thursday, May 12. In the place of weekday Masses, Communion Services
will be celebrated by Deacon Dan, Deacon Horr and Deacon Pedro. During these
days, our priests will have the opportunity to discuss mutual pastoral concerns,
participate in special presentations on aspects of their ministry, be given an update
on the affairs of the diocese and share in liturgies, meals and fellowship with their
confreres. The convocation provides all the priests time to get away from their parish
ministries and administration and build priestly fraternity by praying together,
celebrating Mass together, and socializing. This is also the time for learning with one
another through discussions and listening to various presentations from invited
speakers. There will be NO Confessions on Wednesday, May 11th.

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
The Ascension is always, every year, a celebration, but
shouldn't we mourn it instead? Shouldn't we regret and be sad
that he is no longer among us? Doesn't it seem that he has
abandoned us? Not at all. In today's Preface (the prayer the
priest prays at the start of the Eucharistic prayer) the Church
tells us why: "Christ... has passed beyond our sight, not to
abandon us but to be our hope. "Christ is the beginning, the
head of the Church; where he has gone, we hope to follow." If
Jesus had not ascended into heaven, body and soul,
humanity and divinity, we would not be able to hope for
heaven ourselves. The ascension is the direct source of our
hope. It means that we are never alone.
Years ago, a Catholic missionary was preaching in the open
square of a village in North India. As he finished, a Muslim
gentleman approached him and said: "You must admit we
have one thing you have not, and it is better than anything you
have." The missionary smiled and said, "I should be pleased
to hear what it is." The Muslim went on, "You know, that when
we go to Mecca we find at least a coffin. But when you
Christians go to Jerusalem, your Mecca, you find nothing but
an empty grave." The Missionary replied, "Ah ha! But that's
just it, and it makes all the difference. Mohammad, the founder
of Islam, is dead, and he is in his coffin. But our Leader has
risen from the dead and returned to heaven."
As Christians, we don't just believe in a philosophy or a
theology. As Christians, we believe in a person, a Savior, a
God who is alive and who has brought our own human nature
into heaven, so that we can have a hope that is not just
wishful thinking, but a dream guaranteed to come true. We do
not have to wish upon a star; we pray to the One who made
the stars. In Israel, there is an ancient tradition that has
preserved a monument on the Mount of Olives. There, they
say, Christ left his footprints in the rocks as he ascended into
heaven. That's the point. Jesus has gone into heaven, not to
abandon us, but to be our hope: he has led the way; he has
left us the trail of his footprints so that we can follow him to
everlasting life.
May God Bless You…. Fr Dan

CARTA DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO
Queridos Parroquianos,
La ascensión es siempre, cada año, una celebración, pero
¿no deberíamos nosotros llorar por eso? ¿No lamentamos y
que triste que ya no está entre nosotros? ¿No parece que él
nos ha abandonado? Para nada. En el prefacio de hoy (la
oración que el sacerdote reza al comienzo de la plegaria
eucarística) la Iglesia nos dice por qué: "Cristo... ha pasado
más allá de nuestra vista, no nos abandona el sigue siendo
nuestra esperanza." Cristo es el principio, la cabeza de la
iglesia; a donde se ha ido, esperamos seguirlo. Si Jesús no
hubiera ascendido al cielo, en cuerpo, alma, humanidad y
divinidad, no tendríamos esperanza para ir al cielo nosotros
mismos. La ascensión es la fuente directa de nuestra
esperanza. Esto significa que nunca estamos solos.
Hace años, un misionero católico estaba predicando en la
plaza abierta de una aldea en la India al norte. Mientras
terminaba, un caballero musulmán se le acercó y dijo: "usted
debe admitir que tenemos una cosa que ustedes no tienen y
es mejor que lo que ustedes tienen". El misionero sonrió y
dijo: "me alegraría oír lo que es" El musulmán se encendió,
«ya sabes, que cuando vamos a la Meca encontramos al
menos una ataúd. Pero cuando los cristianos van
a
Jerusalén, a su Meca, no encuentran nada sino una tumba
vacía." ¡El misionero respondí, "Ah ha! Pero es justo, y hace
toda la diferencia. Mohammad, el fundador del Islam, está
muerto, y él está en su ataúd. Pero nuestro líder ha
resucitado de los muertos y regresó al cielo."
Como cristianos, no sólo creemos en una filosofía o una
teología. Como cristianos, creemos en una persona, un
Salvador, un Dios que está vivo y que ha llevado nuestra
propia naturaleza humana al cielo, para que podamos tener
una esperanza que no es sólo una ilusión, sino un sueño
garantizado a hacerse realidad. No pedimos deseo a una
estrella; oramos a quien hizo las estrellas. En Israel, hay una
tradición muy antigua que se conserva un monumento en el
Monte de los olivos. Allí, dice, Cristo dejó sus huellas en las
rocas como él ascendió al cielo. Ese es el punto. Jesús ha ido
al cielo, no nos abandona, sino que nuestra esperanza: ha
liderado el camino; nos ha dejado el rastro de sus huellas
para que le podemos seguir a la vida eterna.
.
Que Dios te bendiga…Padre Dan
¡FELIZ DIA DE LAS MADRES! - La otra noche, ya
muy noche, mi hermanito
se enfermó y mi madre le
dio le dio un beso y
enseguida se curó.
Cuando una madre da un
beso, se oye e l sonido de
dos, con ese beso tan santo
otro beso nos da Dios.
¡Señor y Dios
Nuestro! Que grande
y admirable es tu nombre en toda la tierra!
(Salmo 8 )

7o Domingo de Pascua:
Que confiemos que Dios nos proveerá de todo lo que
necesitemos y nos dará suficiente para compartir.
"Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, el Primero y el Ultimo, el
Principio y el Fin." Revelaciones 22:13
Esto es un recordatorio de cómo debemos vivir nuestras
vidas las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semanaponiendo a Dios primero en todo lo que hagamos. No
solamente cuando estoy en la Misa y en las actividades
de la parroquia, sino cuando estoy en el mundo, en el
trabajo o en la escuela. Vivir la vida con gratitud y
generosamente es un estilo de vida, es como tomo todas
mis decisiones.
ESCUELA CATOLICA SAN JERONIMO
EDUCANDO MENTE, CORAZON Y ESPIRITU
¿Por que tenemos a nuestros hijos en escuelas
catolicas? ¿Será porque deseamos una educación
basada en la fe? ¿Será para que tengan mas tiempo
individual con sus maestros? ¿Será para que puedan asistir
a Misa y participar de los Sacramentos? ¡Cualquiera que
sea su respuesta, le agradecemos que elija nuestra escuela
San Jerónimo para la educación de sus hijos! Integridad.
Respeto. Honor. Disciplina. Excelencia. Una educación
Católica se enfoca en el crecimiento mental y espiritual de
su niño. Eso es porque una educación Católica alimenta
más que la habilidad de leer y escribir. También ayuda a
que los niños aprendan a respetarse a si mismos y a los
demás, y les da también una apreciación real de la belleza y
las maravillas del mundo que los rodea. Déle a su hijo una
educación que los conecta tanto con el mundo real como
con el espiritual.
Mande a sus hijos a escuelas Católicas y observe como se
desarrolla su carácter y su confianza. Para más información

LAUGH LINES – A Kindergarten teacher was observing
her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would
occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked
what the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'
The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks
like'. Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the
girl replied, 'They will in a minute'

enrollment is the best way to ensure your child has a place as
a St Jerome Student. “The education that we receive in a
Catholic school is invaluable. Many sacrifices are made so
that students can attend St. Jerome and even continue on in a
Catholic school after 8th. Grade graduation. These sacrifices
are made by parents who know and cherish the value of the
moral and spiritual education their children receive as well as
the quality presented by our teachers. "Education is not the
filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire". (William Butler
Yeats).

Pope Francis speaks of another type
of persecution: "polite persecution". This is the social
marginalization of Christians who dissent from the
directions in which secular society is moving. Polite
persecution has been in full display in recent weeks
here in the United States. (from a recent homily of
Pope Francis)
RESPECT LIFE:
HISTORY OF THE ASCENSION OF OUR LORD - The reality of Christ's
Ascension is so important that the creeds (the basic statements of belief) of
Christianity all affirm, in the words of the Apostles' Creed, that "He
ascended into heaven, sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead." The denial of
the Ascension is as grave a departure from Christian teaching as is denial of
Christ's Resurrection. Christ's bodily Ascension foreshadows our own
entrance into Heaven not simply as souls, after our death, but as glorified
bodies, after the resurrection of the dead at the Final Judgment. In
redeeming mankind, Christ not only offered salvation to our souls but began
the restoration of the material world itself to the glory that God intended
before Adam's fall. The Feast of the Ascension marks the beginning of the
first novena, or nine days of prayer. Before His Ascension, Christ promised
to send the Holy Spirit to His apostles. Their prayer for the coming of the
Holy Spirit, which began on Ascension Thursday, ended with the descent of
the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, ten days later. The Ascension of Our
Lord, which occurred 40 days after Jesus Christ rose from the dead on
Easter, is the final act of our redemption that Christ began on Good Friday.
On this day, the risen Christ, in the sight of His apostles, ascended bodily
into Heaven (Luke 24:51; Mark 16:19; Acts 1:9-11).

LA ASCENSIÓN DEL SEÑOR + Esta fiesta es celebrada por la
Iglesia durante el tiempo pascual, a los cuarenta días después de la
Resurrección de Jesucristo, y concluye con Pentecostés, la venida del
Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia. En esta fiesta contemplamos a Cristo,
glorioso en el cielo, junto al Padre. Él es el "Evangelio viviente del
Padre"; en su existencia terrena Él ha anunciado la Buena Noticia de
salvación a los hombres. Después de cumplir su misión en la tierra,
anunciando la misericordia del Padre, es constituido Señor de la
historia humana. Con la entrada de Cristo a la gloria del Padre, los
Apóstoles deben comenzar a proclamar la Buena Noticia de este
acontecimiento en toda la tierra. Podemos decir que se inicia un
tiempo de misión y anuncio para la Iglesia, en el cual nosotros nos
insertamos con nuestra acción apostólica. Este tiempo será sellado
definitivamente con la llegada del Espíritu Santo.
La Iglesia, como depositaria de esta Palabra de verdad que es Cristo,
lleva el Evangelio, anuncio de salvación, a todos los hombres, hasta los
confines mismos de la tierra, sin hacer ninguna distinción acerca de la
raza o de la lengua. San Lucas, que escribió el Evangelio que lleva su
nombre, también escribió los Hechos de los Apóstoles. El Evangelio
acaba con la Ascensión del Señor y los Hechos de los Apóstoles
comienzan con la Ascensión, la promesa del Espíritu y el envío a todo el
mundo como testigos suyos. “Lo vieron levantarse hasta que una nube
lo cubrió a su vista”

everywhere. Bless the mothers of new born
babies. Give them joy and excitement in
nurturing new life. May they always mirror
your love in the care and guidance they will
give. Bless the mothers of young children.
Give them understanding and guidance to instill true values in their
children. May they teach by their example and their words. Bless the
mothers of teenagers. Give them wisdom and courage to lead their
children to adulthood and mature Christian faith. Enlighten them to
know when to be gentle and when to be firm. Bless all the mothers,
Lord, help them as their children grow older and need them less, to
find joy, and peace and rest. Give them good health. Give them the
joy of seeing their families prosper. And bless them with the grace of
watching their families grow closer to God by living the message of
Your Gospel. We ask this Lord, in your name. AMEN.
