HOLY COMMUNION
While the heart of the celebration of the Eucharist is the Eucharistic Prayer, the consummation of the Mass is found in Holy Communion, whereby the people purchased for the Father by his beloved Son eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ. They are thereby
joined together as members of Christ's mystical Body, sharing the one life of the Spirit. In the great sacrament of the altar, they are
joined to Christ Jesus and to one another.
It was also Christ's will that this sacrament be received as the soul's spiritual food to sustain and build up those who live with his life, as
he said, "He who eats me, he also shall live because of me" (Jn 6:57). This sacrament is also to be a remedy to free us from our daily
defects and to keep us from mortal sin. It was Christ's will, moreover, that this sacrament be a pledge of our future glory and our everlasting happiness and, likewise, a symbol of that one body of which he is the head (cf. Lk 22:19 and 1 Cor 11:3). He willed that we, as
members of this body should be united to it by firm bonds of faith, hope, and love, so that we might all say the same thing, and that
there might be no dissensions among us (cf. 1 Cor 1:10).13
As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive
Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of
grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of
the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the
person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible
(canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all. -United States Conference of Catholic Bishop

Fifth Sunday of Easter
This week’s readings call us to live what we celebrate each
week in the Eucharist: that we love one another in Christ. Our
celebration is dead if it does not transform us into God’s people, a people of love and service. Paul’s ministry brought him
out of the Jewish world, into the Gentile world. Who is it that
needs to hear God’s word and experience God’s love from us
this week?
Quinto Domingo de Pascua
Las lecturas de esta semana nos llaman a vivir aquello que
celebramos cada semana en la Eucaristía: que nos amemos
los unos a los otros en Cristo. Nuestra celebración está muerta si no nos transforma en gente de Dios, gente de amor y
servicio. El ministerio de Paul lo sacó del mundo Judío, hacia el mundo Gentil ¿Quién necesita escuchar la palabra de
Dios y experimentar el amor de Dios esta semana?
Congrats to Generosa Lowden. A very special
lady nominated not only by parishioners but by
Father Ramiro as well. She has overseen the
Sacristans and Environment for countless
years. Often times with a very small team or
accomplishing all the tasks by herself. She is a
hard worker and we never see her upset or complaining. She
trains the sacristans, washes towels, altar clothes, and vestments. She decorates the altar for every Mass and especially
for all the special Masses with special care at Christmas and
Easter. She even helps decorate for sacramental ceremonies
such as confirmation and first communion. Father Ramiro
can always count on her to get everything done. For several
years she even helped as a Wedding Coordinator. She ensures
the sacristy is stocked with supplies, vestments, and has been
known to spend her own money without being asked. Without hesitation she jumps right in and helps wherever needed
even if it’s not necessarily related to sacristan or environment.
She is often the first person in the church and the last to leave.
We recognize her for her unfailing service to this parish and
for being one of the most giving persons we know. She is
truly a reflection of Jesus Christ in the world.
Voluntario del Mes de Marzo
Felicidades a Generosa Lowden. Una señora muy especial nominada no sólo por los feligreses, sino tambien por el Padre Ramiro. Ella ha supervisado los Sacristanes y el medio ambiente durante muchos años. Muchas veces con un equipo muy pequeño o
llevar a cabo todas las tareas por sí misma. Ella es una gran
trabajadora y nunca la verán molesta o quejandose. Ella prepara a los sacristanes y se encarga de la limpieza de los hornamentos liturgicos de la Misa. Ella decora el altar para cada
Misa y especialmente para todas las Misas especiales con un
cuidado especial, como en Navidad y La Pascua. Incluso ayuda
a decorar para las ceremonias sacramentales como la confirmación y la primera comunión. El Padre Ramiro puede contar
siempre con ella para que todo este en orden. Durante varios
años, ayudó como coordinadora de bodas. Ella se asegura que
siempre haya lo indispensable para las celebraciones de Misa
como las hostias, velas para el santuario, incensio etc. Generosamente aporta su tiempo, su trabajo y sus fondos para cubrir
las necesidades de la sacristia. Siempre se puede contar con su
ayuda cuando es necesario aunque no involucrada en el trabajo
de la sacristía o el medio ambiente. Ella es a menudo la primera
persona en llegar a la Iglesia y la última en salir. Nosotros le
reconocemos por su servicio incondicional a esta parroquia ,ella
es realmente un reflejo de Jesucristo en el mundo.
