MISSION PRAYER
God, our Father, we thank you for this time of renewal.
Make our hearts hungry and thirsty for you.
Recreate our minds and hearts with the fire of your Word
during our mission.
Open us to the sweet presence of the Holy Spirit.
We want to be filled with Joy and Peace!
We pray for the grace to say, “Yes” to you!
We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord.
Amen!
O Mary, my Mother,
I offer you my soul, my mind, and my heart.
Make of me God's instrument.
Give me a penetrating mind to discover,
firm to judge, open to understand, free to serve the truth;
an honest mind in telling what it sees rather than what it
wants to see;
a tolerant mind which does not dictate to other people,
but which explain what it sees clearly;
a mind infused by the light and the truth of your Son Jesus,
patient in faith, while waiting for the vision of eternal life.
Amen.

Diocese of Fresno “Providing Help. Creating Hope.”
CATHOLIC CHARITIES
In the past year, Catholic Charities has provided
service to over 110,000 clients throughout the Diocese and
have given away over 1,600,000 pounds of food. That equates
to approximately 2 cargo ships. The average family income for
those seeking assistance was less than $8,000.00 per year
and forty three percent of the clients were under the age of 17.
For your information, with every dollar that is donated to
Catholic Charities, 87 cents goes directly back to programs
and services.
Please help us to continue providing these valuable
services to those less fortunate by giving of your treasure
during our annual Special Collection the weekend of
May18th – 19th. Feel free to contact Kelly Lilles, Executive
Director at Catholic Charities email: [email protected] or by
phone 559-237-0851. Thank you and God bless you for your
generosity and please come down and see us anytime for a
tour of the Agency.
RESEARCH TODAY FOR A CANCER-FREE TOMORROW
What if your involvement ultimately leads to eliminate cancer as a major health problem for this and future
generations? The AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY will be enrolling participants for their newest research study, the
Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) in the greater Fresno area this week. Individuals may choose to participate if they
are willing to make a long-term commitment to the study (completing surveys periodically over the next 20-30 years),
are between the ages of 30 and 65 years old and have never been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer Survivors are
asked to help spread the word, and encourage family members and friends to enroll. For more information visit
www.CPS3centralvalley.org or call us at 1-888-604-5888 or e-mail [email protected].

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
La palabra de Dios nos recuerda que no importa lo que haya pasado en nuestra vida o lo que
pasará en el futuro, Dios nos proveerá “el resto de la historia”. Jesús ora al Padre por sus
discípulos y por todos los que oirán las palabras de ellos acerca de él. Él ora para que todos sean
uno. El final que Dios ha planeado para todos los que creen en Jesús es que entraremos en una
unión con Jesús, con el Padre y con el Espíritu Santo. Hoy también somos testigos del final de
la historia de uno de los primeros predicadores del Evangelio, el diácono Esteban. Mientras lo
apedreaban oraba al Señor Jesús para que recibiera su espíritu y para que perdonara a sus
verdugos. El final de la historia de Esteban en esta tierra le hace eco a las últimas palabras de
Jesús desde la cruz en el Evangelio de Lucas. Por último, el autor del libro del Apocalipsis enseña una imagen de Jesús
como principio y fin de la historia humana. Él regresará al final de los tiempos y llegará con su recompensa para “dar a
cada uno según sus obras” (Apocalipsis 22:12). Al final, pues, se cumplirá el pan de Dios de unidad, perdón y gloria. Y

lo largo de la Diócesis y ha entregado más de
1.600.000 libras de alimentos.
Equivalente a
aproximadamente 2 buques de carga. El ingreso

favor visítenos en cualquier momento para mostrarles
nuestra Agencia. Gracias y Dios los bendiga por su
generosidad.
La iglesia otorga este mes a
María para conocerla y
amarla más. Mayo es el mes
de las flores, de la
primavera. También, Mayo
es el mes en el que todos
recuerdan a su mamá (el 10
de Mayo) y las flores son el
regalo más frecuente de los
hijos para agasajar a quien
les dio la vida. Para los
latinos, no hay amor más
grande que el de una madre.
Sin olvidar la función del padre, ella es la que nos da la
vida, nos enseña como vivirla y nos da alimento. Su amor
nos recuerda al de Cristo, quien con sacrificio y amor da
vida a la Iglesia. Su amor sostiene y cuando las cosas se
ponen difíciles emocionalmente, nuestro deseo secreto es
de estar en los brazos de mamá.
Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. P. Co.
BAUTISMOS: Pase a la oficina de la parroquia para
reservar la fecha deseada para el bautizo de su bebe y
para registrarse (papás y padrinos) para las platicas de
preparación para este sacramento.
PRESENTACIONES:
Las familias que desean
presentar a sus hijos recién nacidos, de 40 días, o 3 años
en la iglesia, necesitan pasar antes a la oficina de la
parroquia para reservar la fecha de presentación durante
las misa de 7:00pm o 1:00pm. NOTA: Si la familia no
apunta a sus hijos para la presentación no podrá hacer la

A MATERNIDAD
Las mamás pueden sostener por un momento las manos de
sus hijos, pero a sus corazones para siempre. Anónimo

The Ascension of the Lord
Page 10
May 12, 2013
TAKEN FROM SIGHT
In biblical texts, a time period lasting forty days, months, or years is always a period of testing, trial, probation, or discipline,
ending in restoration, revival, or renewal. There are at least ten instances in the Old Testament
and New Testament in which the number forty occurs. For example, Noah sailed in his ark after it
rained for forty days and nights; Moses was on the mountain forty days and nights; the Israelites
wandered for forty years in the desert after the Exodus from Egypt; Jesus fasted in the wilderness
for forty days and was seen on the earth for forty days after his resurrection until his ascension
into heaven. The Ascension marks the completion of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Along with the
Resurrection, the Ascension underlines Jesus’ claim that he is truly God and truly human, the
Messiah—the one who saves. Early Christian artists showed the importance of the Ascension as
the final overthrow of Satan’s power. Jesus is depicted as a lion conquering the dragon, Satan. Evil
and death are not the end. Nowadays, Christians are being challenged by newly fashionable atheist
writers, who assume that all believers are literal fundamentalists who think that heaven is just “up
there” above the clouds. The Church, more wisely, does not dwell on where heaven is, but what it
means to have a Savior who has gone to prepare a place for us and who will return at the end of
time. Whenever we participate in the Eucharistic liturgy we are invited to repeat the mystery of
our faith: “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.” So Jesus is taken from our
earthly sight because he has returned to the Father, where he intercedes for us and assures us of the continual outpouring of the Holy
Spirit—our strength for the journey. Copyright © 2009, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
Living Stewardship Now
The gift of the Ascension is transforming hope. Extend hope to someone you know: volunteer to mentor a child, make regular calls
or visits to someone who is homebound, give material help to a person who is unemployed.

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Gavin’s piano teacher might just as well have told him to fly
around the room. That’s how incapable he felt of playing his
Bach invention faster. He stared at Mr. Simons in disbelief.
“Gavin, what did I just ask you to do?” “You said to play it
faster, sir.” “Well, why are you sitting there staring at me? What
are you waiting for? Play it faster.”
In today’s two accounts of the ascension of Christ into heaven,
the disciples seem to be experiencing the same kind of
numbness. Christ is asking them to do the seemingly impossible.
While joyful that he had been raised and was ascending to
power, perhaps they did not yet have the confidence to be his
witnesses “to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). They had to wait
to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. What are we
waiting for?
—Virginia Stillwell
LIVING GOD’S WORD
We may feel that our faith is too new or that we don’t pray
enough to witness the forgiveness of sins available through
Christ. But we who have been clothed and anointed with the
Spirit don’t need anything else. We can go forth with confident
hope to witness that Christ will keep his promise of eternal life.
