Lectio Divina
Bible Verses to Know (Continued)
In this informative presentation, Dr. Tim Gray, Augustine
Institute President, shares how Lectio Divina enables you to
enter into a dialogue with God. This prayerful reading of
Sacred Scripture is a proven means to encounter God in daily
life and will benefit those new to prayer and those more
experienced alike.
Here are a few essential Bible verses that all Catholics should
learn to help in explaining and defending their Faith.
Learn one verse in each category — and keep
this list handy; you might just need it!
The Catholic Church compiled the Bible and has faithfully
preserved it for 2,000 years. We hear several Bible readings
every time we attend Mass. As Catholics, we seek to study the
entire Word of God, in context, and seek the correct
interpretation through the help God has provided for us in our
Pope and Bishops — the Magisterium or teaching authority, of
Jesus’ One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
CD’s are available in
the Gathering Space
for $3.00 each.
RECONCILIATION:
CONFESSING SINS TO GOD’S PRIESTS:
Making things right with God –and His Church
and people
(Jesus speaking to the disciples:)
“Then he breathed on them and said: ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive men's sins, they are forgiven them; if you hold
them bound, they are held bound.’ ” – John 20:22-23
“I assure you, whatever you declare bound on earth shall be
bound in heaven, and whatever you declare loosed on earth
shall be loosed in heaven.” -Matthew 18:18
“Hence, declare your sins to one another, and pray for one
another, that you may find healing.” – James 5:16

Year of Mercy
Mary, Mother of Mercy
In her Diary, St. Faustina writes that Mary told her, “I am not
only the Queen of Heaven, but also the Mother of Mercy, and
your Mother" (Diary of St. Faustina, 330). “Hail Holy Queen,
Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope” begins
the Hail Holy Queen prayer. This May in the Jubilee Year of
Mercy, we will reflect on Our Blessed Mother as our Mother of
Mercy.
Mary is the Mother of Mercy in a very literal sense. As Pope
Francis tells us, “Jesus Christ is the face of the Father’s mercy.
… Mercy has become living and visible in Jesus at Nazareth,
reaching its culmination in him.” (cf. Op. Cit., n. 1) Jesus is
Mercy Incarnate. Therefore Mary, his mother, is quite literally
the Mother of Mercy.
Pope Quote
"When someone asks, 'How does one become a good
Christian?' the answer is simple: do what Jesus says in his
discourse on the Beatitudes. The Lord knows sin and grace, and
he knows the paths that lead to sin and to
grace. 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will
find mercy' . . . It's always important to think
that we are all an army of forgiven! All of us
have been forgiven! And this is why he who
takes this path of forgiveness is blessed."
— Pope Francis

All Parishioners are invited to this free presentation!
Monday, May 2, 2016 beginning at 6:30 pm
FULL OF GRACE tells the story of the Blessed Mother's final days on earth. Surrounded by Peter and
the remaining Apostles, she recounts the beauty and mystery of her experiences with her Son. During her
last earthly days, she helps the early Church regain their original encounter with the Lord. This film takes
what we know through scripture and tradition and artfully tells a story with great depth and insight,
drawing viewers into deep spiritual reflection on their own personal walk with Christ.
At the end of the evening participants will be asked for a good will offering to support the continued work
and mission of Outside da Box (sponsors of our film presentation). There will also be copies of FULL OF
GRACE for sale along with other related merchandise. All parishioners are invited to this free
presentation!! (recommended ages 10-adult)

UNA VIDA RENOVADA
1.- Recuperar la frescura del evangelio. La fe en Cristo
resucitado nos da paz, alegría interior y confianza en su presencia
permanente entre nosotros. Como nos dice San Agustín, "para
comprender el misterio de Dios hay que purificar el corazón; de
ningún otro lugar proceden las acciones sino de la raíz del
corazón" (Sermón 91). La fe cristiana nace del corazón, pero
corre el peligro de transformarse en religión de ritos. Los judíos
"religiosos" quieren imponer la circuncisión. La Iglesia está
amenazada de quedarse en los medios, los ritos, y olvidarse de lo
fundamental, la interioridad de la fe. También nosotros corremos
el riesgo de confundir las tradiciones con la verdad, de afirmar
como eterno e inmutable lo que es fruto de una época, de hacer
apología de nuestra fe con una filosofía ya superada, de imponer
cargas y obligaciones que alejan de lo fundamental, de sostener
que viene de Dios lo que viene del hombre. Necesitamos vino
nuevo en odres nuevos, recuperar la sintonía con la cultura y con
el hombre de nuestro tiempo. En el llamado concilio de Jerusalén
los primeros cristianos escucharon la voz del Espíritu Santo que
Jesús les había prometido. El Espíritu nos ayudará a no
quedarnos en lo superficial para llegar a identificarnos con el
Padre que nos ama, viene a nuestra vida y hace morada en
nosotros. El Papa Francisco constantemente nos hace una
llamada a recuperar la frescura del evangelio, a valorar lo
esencial en el seguimiento de Jesucristo.
2.- Nuestra vida es el mejor testimonio. Todo este capítulo 14
de Juan está envuelto en una atmósfera de despedida. Jesús
anuncia, promete y revela una nueva presencia que, sin duda,
supone una novedad significativa. Los frutos de la resurrección
son la alegría, la paz y el testimonio de vida. ¿La alegría se nota
en nuestra vida y en nuestras celebraciones? Hay muchos niños y
jóvenes que no se sienten atraídos por nuestra forma de celebrar
rutinaria y triste. Sin embargo, hay muchas comunidades que
saben vivir el gozo de la experiencia pascual, que celebraron con
entusiasmo la Vigilia Pascual sin mirar al reloj. Ahí se nota que
hay algo más que un mero cumplimiento del precepto dominical.
¿Y la paz? La que Jesús nos regala es lo más grande del mundo,
es la plenitud de todos los dones del Espíritu. Si la paz reina en
nuestro corazón seremos capaces de transmitirla a los demás y de
construirla a nuestro alrededor. “La paz os dejo, mi paz os doy”:
la paz la ofrece Jesús como un don precioso. En la Biblia, la paz
es uno de los grandes signos de la presencia de Dios y de la
llegada del Reino, síntesis de todos los deseos de bienestar, de
justicia, de abundancia, de fraternidad. ¡Casi nada! ¿Cómo dar
testimonio de nuestra fe en el mundo de hoy? No bastan las
palabras, es nuestra propia vida el mejor testimonio. La
diferencia entre alguien "que practica" y alguien "que vive" es
que el primero lleva en su mano una antorcha para señalar el
camino y el segundo es él mismo la antorcha. Se notará en tu
cara, en tus comentarios, en tus gestos, en tu forma de ser si has
experimentado la alegría del encuentro con el resucitado. Si eres
feliz, transmitirás felicidad. Y quien te vea dirá: "merece la pena
seguir a Jesús de Nazaret".
3.- El “Gran Desconocido”. El Espíritu es defensor, maestro,
abogado, animador e iluminador de la fe de la Comunidad y de
cada uno. El Espíritu nos enseña y recuerda todo lo dicho por
Jesús. Ésta es la gran tarea que Jesús le encomienda. Es fácil
deducir que el creyente no está solo, no es un huérfano. Primero,
porque el Padre no es Alguien lejano y distante; más bien, somos
santuario y morada de Dios mismo: “vendremos a él y haremos
morada en él”. Esto lógicamente supone unas relaciones nuevas
con Dios-Padre: no es posible vivir como si todo fuera como
antes; desde Jesús, todo ha cambiado. ¡Cuánto nos cuesta
entender a los creyentes esta novedad! ¡Cuán lejos está nuestra
espiritualidad de cada día de esta inusitada novedad que se
propone y a la que se nos convida! ¡No nos enteramos! Pero es
que, además, la muerte de Jesús ha sido ocasión para ser llenados
por la presencia viva del Espíritu, que vive en nosotros, está en
nosotros y nos enseña el arte de vivir en verdad. El creyente vive
animado por el Espíritu, que hace nacer en nosotros el gozo de la
fe. Posiblemente, el Espíritu sea el “Gran Desconocido” en la
espiritualidad cristiana.
