Mission Statement
We are one body in Christ and
individually parts of one another.
Vision Statement
To be a community that is nurtured
through the Eucharist and
empowered by the Holy Spirit to
serve God and neighbor.
The Liturgy of the Day
a la Liturgia del Día
Today marks the seventh and final
week of our Great Sunday, the
Easter season. We will listen to
words from Jesus and Saint John
about our mission and sharing
God’s love. These are both rooted
in the experience of the
Resurrection that we celebrated on
Easter Sunday. So perhaps our
prayer today can be that we are
able to extend that Easter joy from
that Sunday to today, and on into
the rest of our lives.
Hoy comienza la séptima y última
semana de nuestro Gran Domingo, o
sea del Tiempo de Pascua.
Escucharemos palabras de Jesús y de
san Juan acerca de nuestra misión y
de compartir el amor de Dios. Ambas
cosas están enraizadas en la
experiencia de la Resurrección que
celebramos el Domingo de Pascua.
Por lo tanto nuestra oración de hoy
pudiera pedir que seamos capaces de
extender el gozo de esa Pascua hasta
el día de hoy y por todo el resto de
nuestra vida.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• El libro de los Hechos
describe a la Iglesia joven, que
resuelve una crisis interna de
manera
que
parece
espectacularmente inocente y
hasta frívola e irresponsable. La
exhortación de Pedro es
hermosa y la oración de la comunidad edificante,
pero, ¿echar la suerte? ¡Qué manera de confiar en
el Espíritu! Y sin embargo ésa es la buena nueva de
Pentecostés: el Espíritu sana los fracasos de la
comunidad, sostiene la continuidad de ella y
prolonga su testimonio. Jesús, aunque “ausente”,
permanece (esa palabra recurrente) presente en
nuestra comunidad por la palabra, la Eucaristía, la
oración y la confianza.
• La palabra permanecer aparece, de una forma u
otra, cinco veces en cinco versículos de la primera
carta de Juan. Permanecer con Jesús es lo que
hicieron los discípulos desde el primer día que
conocieron al Señor. Ahora, ya distante aquel día,
permanecer describe el poder de un amor
entregado que hace visible a Dios en medio de
nosotros, esto es, el amor de Dios por nosotros,
nuestro amor de los unos por los otros y por todos
los demás.
• Permanecer en el mundo es lo que Jesús quiere de
nosotros sus discípulos. El domingo entre la
Ascensión y Pentecostés es una imagen de nuestra
ubicación espiritual entre el “ya” de la
proclamación del Reino por Jesús y el “todavía” de
su plenitud. Así también Jesús “se ubica” con sus
brazos extendidos entre el cielo y la tierra, nuestro
Sumo Sacerdote que intercede para proteger a la
comunidad contra el maligno y así consagrarla en
la verdad. Puede que el mundo nos odie por dar
testimonio de una verdad determinada por la
opinión popular o por encuestas sofisticadas. En
efecto, dice Jesús, si estamos viviendo el
discipulado correctamente, el mundo llegará a
odiarnos. Pero conoceremos el gozo del Espíritu
derramado sobre aquellos consagrados en la
verdad. ¡Y el gozo permanece!
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Me he pronunciado alguna vez en favor de la
verdad del Evangelio provocando así la
desaprobación de los demás? ¿Cuándo fue eso y de
qué asunto se trataba? Si no lo he hecho, ¿debería
hacerlo?

Corpus Christi Celebrates the
Sacrament of Confirmation
This past Monday, May 11, 2015 Corpus Christi parish
celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation with 49 candidates
being Confirmed in the Holy Spirit.
Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone was present to confer our Class
of 2015 and he reminded students that each of us will face
times in our life when we don’t feel qualified, ready or
experienced enough to do what God has called us to do. He
instructed the class to take courage, even in the face of
criticism, and to go forth doing God’s work in the world in
which we live.
Father Ray & the Religious Education Office would like to
thank the parents, guardians and sponsors who helped prepare
the confirmandi. Additionally, we express our most sincere
gratitude for all of the hard work, time and dedication of our
volunteer catechists: Sharon Torbett, Lionel Torbett, Amanda
Macchio, Claudia Rosales and Trudy Svrcek.
