Mission Statement
Sharing the treasure of our
Catholic Faith and centered in
the Eucharist, we at Corpus
Christi Parish strive to be true
disciples of Christ to all.
Liturgy of the Day
Liturgia del Día
Today marks the seventh and final
week of the Easter season. Throughout
these weeks we have contemplated
different facets of the new life of the
Resurrection. Today Jesus prays that
we may all be one. As we continue
with our celebration today, let us make
that prayer our own, so that all
Catholics, and indeed all Christians
will be one in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hoy comienza la séptima y última
semana del tiempo de Pascua. A través
de estas semanas hemos contemplado
diferentes facetas de la nueva vida de
la resurrección. Hoy Jesús ora para que
todos seamos uno. Al continuar con
nuestra celebración de hoy hagamos
nuestra esa oración a fin de que todos
los católicos, es más todos los
cristianos, seamos uno en nuestro
Señor Jesucristo.

Homilía
Si alguna vez nos hemos desanimados por
no poder entender adecuadamente el plan
salvífico de Dios y mucho menos ponerlo
en práctica y compartirlo con los demás, la
lectura de hoy del libro de los Hechos debe
servirnos de consuelo. Después de tres
años de haber estado recibiendo instrucciones diariamente y de
compartir una amistad fiel; después de la Pasión, la Cruz y la
Resurrección los discípulos todavía le hacen la pregunta incorrecta
a Jesús: “¿ahora sí vas a restablecer la soberanía de
Israel?” (Hechos 1:6). No les toca a ustedes conocer tales cosas, les
responde cansadamente Jesús. Quédense en Jerusalén y esperen el
Espíritu Santo (cfr. 1:7–8).
Pero Jesús añade: Ustedes “serán mis testigos” (Hechos 1, 8). Por
eso “dos hombres vestidos de blanco” preguntan: ¿Qué hacen
mirando al cielo? Jesús va a regresar (cfr. 1:10, 11). Mientras tanto,
no busquen a Jesús en los cielos pacíficos, sino en las calles mucho
menos pacíficas, o sea en lo que el Papa Francisco llama las
“periferias”. Sirve a Jesús en todos los que encuentres allí, que son
miembros del cuerpo de Jesús (Efesios), todos redimidos por la
sangre de Jesús (Hebreos).
Lucas nos dice en el Evangelio de hoy que después de la ascensión
de Jesús los discípulos “regresaron a Jerusalén, llenos de gozo, y
permanecían constantemente en el templo, alabando a Dios” (Lucas
24:52–53). En los Hechos, Lucas añade que hasta Pentecostés los
apóstoles “solían reunirse de común acuerdo para orar en
compañía. . . de María, la madre de Jesús” (Hechos 1:14). Cuando
el Papa Francisco promulgó este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
dijo que María modeló toda su vida según “la misericordia hecha
carne”. Francisco dice también que cuando María escuchó cómo
Jesús perdonaba a sus verdugos ella entendió que la misericordia
del Hijo de Dios no conoce límites y alcanza a todos sin excepción.
Desde ahora hasta Pentecostés debemos pedir al Espíritu Santo la
gracia de poder practicar esa misericordia incondicional y
reconciliadora en nuestra vida.
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Cómo me desafía el imitar el perdón incondicional de Jesús, el
“misterio de Dios hecho hombre”?

“TO THE NATIONS “
MISSION TRIP
On June 5th, 2016, Parishioner
Dan Goering, who is a sacristan
at Corpus Christi, and a lay
Franciscan, will be leaving for a
14 day mission trip to Uganda
with “To the Nations,” a nonprofit missionary group dedicated to helping the needy around
the world. The group includes, a doctor, nurses, a priest and
30 laypersons who plan to take 1000 sets of clothing to the
orphaned and impoverished boys and girls in Uganda. While
there, the missionaries will build two houses (very basic-no
running water or electricity) for the boys and girls of the
community. The doctor and nurses participating will give
vaccinations and minister to the sick. The entire group will
bring compassion, comfort and prayer to inmates in both
men’s and women’s prisons.
The missionaries have raised money to feed 1000 children a
day during the trip, but need an additional $2,000.00 to
continue providing one “regular” meal per week to the
children for one year after they leave. Your donation (any
amount is appreciated) will help to provide basic sustenance
to these children.
DONATIONS will be collected outside the church by the
Knights of Columbus after each Mass on the weekend of May
14th and 15th.
Thank you.
