Catechesis ends May 15th
Parents are required to attend monthly
catechesis however all parishioners are
welcome to attend.
As we listen to today’s readings…we hear the same common thread repeated over and over…and that commonality is the love that God has for all his children. And very much like God himself, a woman becomes a mother and takes
on God’s way of love…
My greatest thanks is that God didn’t make me a mother…I’m OK with being a father, but when I think of what
motherhood demands it just seems impossible sometimes…
The acts of mother’s for ages have pointed to the truth…that man and woman were made in the image of God…
and the sacrificial nature of mothers for their families… reflects the sacrificial love that God has for his world.
But it’s also said that God has an unusual sense of humor…so many times he doesn’t give children the same perspective on life…Here is a typical outline of what we all think about our moms, at different points in our lives…and I
think most of us fall into this category…
 From 4 to 12 Years Of Age…Mommy can do anything…and knows everything…
 But from 12 to 16 Years Of Age…my Mother? She’s hopelessly old-fashioned…
 And as we turn 18 to 25 we think…mom…that old woman? She’s way out of date
 But once we’re 25 to 35 we change a bit and say…Well, mom might know a little bit about it…
 And at 35 Years Of Age…we say, “Before we decide, let’s get Mom’s opinion”
 And by the time we’re 65 we think, “I only wish I had my mom here…so I could talk it over with her…
The truth is that at some point…we all learn to appreciate our moms and to acknowledge their vital influence in
our lives.
And it’s really overwhelming when we think what and who a mother really is…Mothers are teachers… disciplinarians…and they’re cleaning ladies too…And most mothers understand that…for their kids… baking cookies is more
important than washing windows…
Mothers are nurses-doctors-psychologists-first aid technicians-chauffeurs & coaches. They help us develop our
personalities and vocabularies...they shape our attitudes…and Mothers are that soft voice that says, "I love you." And
mothers are a link to God…a child’s first impression of God’s love.
So for all the mother’s on this Mother’s Day who are with us…and for those who are not…for those who have
laughed…worried…persuaded…cajoled…been concerned for…and who have cried for their children…Happy Mother’s
Day …God loves you…

and Al escuchar las lecturas de hoy... oímos el mismo hilo conductor repite una y otra vez... y que en común es
el amor que Dios tiene para todos sus hijos. Y muy parecido a Dios mismo, una mujer se convierte en madre y adquiere
forma del amor de Dios...
Mi mayor agradecimiento es que Dios no me hizo una madre... yo estoy bien con ser un padre, pero cuando
pienso en lo que la maternidad exige que sólo parece imposible a veces...
Los actos de la madre de para edades han señalado a la verdad... que el hombre y la mujer fueron hechos a imagen de Dios... y la naturaleza del sacrificio de las madres por sus familias... refleja el amor de sacrificio que Dios tiene
para su mundo.
Pero también dice que Dios tiene un inusual sentido del humor ... tantas veces que no se dan a los niños la misma perspectiva de la vida ... Aquí es un esquema típico de lo que todos pensamos en nuestras madres, en diferentes momentos de nuestras vidas ... y Creo que la mayoría de nosotros entran en esta categoría ...
De 4 a 12 años de edad... Mami puede hacer nada... y lo sabe todo...
Sin embargo, entre los 12 y 16 años de edad... mi madre? Ella es irremediablemente pasada de moda...
Y a medida que nos volvemos 18 a 25 años que pensamos... madre... esa vieja? Ella es manera de salir de la fecha
Sin embargo, una vez que estamos 25 a 35 cambiamos un poco y decir... Bueno, mamá podría saber un poco
sobre ella...
Y en 35 años de edad... decimos: "Antes de decidir, Veamos la opinión de mamá"
Y en el momento en que estamos 65 que pensamos, "yo sólo deseo que tenía mi madre aquí... para poder hablar
de ello con su...
La verdad es que en algún momento... todos aprendemos a apreciar nuestras madres y reconocer su influencia
vital en nuestras vidas.
Y es realmente abrumadora cuando pensamos y lo que realmente es una madre... Las madres son maestros ...
disciplinados ... y son señoras de la limpieza también ... Y la mayoría de las madres entienden que ... para sus hijos ...
hornear galletas es más importante que el lavado de ventanas ...
Las madres son enfermeras-Doctor-psicólogos de primeros auxilios-técnicos-entrenadores y chóferes. Ellos nos
ayudan a desarrollar nuestra personalidad y vocabularios... que dan forma a nuestras actitudes... y madres son tan suave
voz que dice: "Te amo." Y las madres son un enlace a Dios... primera impresión del amor de Dios de un niño.
Así que para todos los de la madre en el Día de la Madre que están con nosotros ... y para los que no son ... para
los que se han reído ... preocupado ... persuadido ... persuadir ... se preocupa por ... y que han llorado por sus hijos ... Feliz Día de la Madre ... Dios te ama ... y nosotros también te queremos ...
Living Rosary Devotion
A Catholic Prayer Service for Mary
May, of course, is the month of the Holy Rosary, a great opportunity to introduce young people to the devotion of praying the
Rosary. During May the question often comes up, “How do you pray the living Rosary?” Knights of Columbus will be having
a living Rosary in DiLeo Hall May 13th at 730 PM. On the right hand side of this page you can have a idea on how the living
Rosary is set up. Refreshment will served promptly in DiLeo hall after the service.
A message from our Parochial Vicar, Fr. Sergio Renteria
Thank you so much!!!
Every beginning has an end, and my stay among you between friends and brothers of the Parish of
St. Catherine of Alexandria is coming to an end.
I came from blessed Finis Terrae of Cabo San Lucas, more than a thousand miles from here where
God put me to work for your kingdom and share what I love and that is my priesthood. I learned so
much in so little time and I thank God for this wonderful experience in my priestly ministry. Thanks to
Bishop Gerald Barnes, our pastor Father Anthony, the emeritus pastors, deacons, all our parish
staff, the committed laypeople with a large army working in the vineyard of the Lord and all who in
daily life and every Sunday we come together at the banquet of the Eucharist.
When you come from another country or from another diocese other than our diocese of San Bernardino there are policies to follow according to the pastoral structure and one of them is to have experience in two parishes to work in to continue serving the people of God who live in this portion of
his beloved flock.
I will always carry them in my heart, and especially in my prayers and daily Eucharist in silence and
contemplation of nature, the temple of the glory of God.
I make my own these words of St. John Paul II in his 5th. Aztec pastoral visit to my country: "I'm going but I'm not, I'm going, but I stay heart" (SJPII) Pray for me.....

Cuando juzgamos a otro ¿recordamos que también somos pecadores? Pregunta el Papa
Francisco
VATICANO, 06 Abr. 16 / 06:54 am
Este miércoles, durante la primera Audiencia General de abril, el Papa Francisco
continuó con las catequesis sobre la misericordia de Dios para invitar a los fieles a reconocerse pecadores, porque “todos
tenemos la posibilidad de recibir” el perdón del Padre; y a la vez para llamar a no juzgar a los demás porque todos tenemos
“nuestras miserias”.
“Cuántas veces nosotros decimos: ‘Éste es un pecador, éste ha hecho esto, aquello…’ y juzgamos a los demás. ¿Y tú? Cada
uno de nosotros debería preguntarse: ‘si éste es un pecador. ¿Y yo?’. Todos somos pecadores, pero todos somos perdonados:
todos tenemos la posibilidad de recibir este perdón que es la misericordia de Dios”, expresó el Pontífice ante los fieles
reunidos en la Plaza de San Pedro.
El Papa Francisco, que había culminado las catequesis sobre la misericordia de Dios en el Antiguo Testamento, inició este
miércoles sus reflexiones sobre cómo Jesús la lleva a su “pleno cumplimiento” en el Nuevo Testamento, con su culmen en el
sacrificio de la cruz.
“Podemos contemplar todavía más claramente el gran misterio de este amor dirigiendo la mirada a Jesús crucificado.
Mientras está por morir inocente por nosotros pecadores, Él suplica al Padre: ‘Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que
hacen’”, indicó el Papa, y aseguró que en la cruz Cristo presenta nuestros pecados a la misericordia de Dios “y con ella todos
nuestros pecados son borrados. Nada ni nadie queda excluido de esta oración sacrificial de Jesús”.
Por ello, dijo que “no debemos temer en reconocernos y confesarnos pecadores”. “Todos somos pecadores, todos tenemos la
posibilidad de recibir este perdón que es la misericordia de Dios”.
“¡El sacramento de la Reconciliación hace actual para cada uno la fuerza del perdón que brota de la Cruz y renueva en
nuestra vida la gracia de la misericordia que Jesús nos ha traído! No debemos temer nuestras miserias: Cada uno de nosotros
tiene las suyas. La potencia del amor del Crucificado no conoce obstáculos y no se acaba jamás. Y esta misericordia borra
nuestras miserias”, afirmó.
En su catequesis, el Papa Francisco señaló que “Jesús es la Misericordia” y recordó que despues de treinta años de vida
oculta en Nazaret, inicia su vida pública haciéndose bautizar por Juan el Bautista, un acontecimiento que “imprime una
orientación decisiva en toda la misión de Cristo”, pues pudiendo presentarse al mundo con todo su esplendor, lo hizo
acercándose “al río Jordán, junto a tanta gente de su pueblo, y se puso en la fila con los pecadores”.
“No ha tenido vergüenza: estaba ahí con todos, con los pecadores, para hacerse bautizar. Por lo tanto, desde el inicio de su
ministerio, Él se ha manifestado como Mesías que asume la condición humana, movido por la solidaridad y la compasión”,
afirmó el Papa.
En ese sentido, todo lo que Jesús ha realizado después del bautismo –sus milagros y predicaciones- “ha sido la realización del
programa inicial: traer a todos el amor de Dios que salva. Jesús no ha traído el odio, no ha traído la enemistad: ¡nos ha
traído el amor! ¡Un amor grande, un corazón abierto a todos, a todos nosotros! ¡Un amor que salva!”.

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO'S HAD AN ABORTION?
Almost everyone knows someone who’s had an abortion. Many people know someone personally who is suffering because
of an abortion. If a friend confided in you tomorrow that she had an abortion, would you be able to respond in a way that
brings her closer to healing?
There are ways to avoid the mistakes...Ways that may help your friend be hopeful again about her future.
If this is the first time your friend has told you about her abortion, she may be afraid that you will be critical or that you will
repeat to others what she tells you. She must know that you are a real friend who cares about her, and that you are not sitting
in judgment of her.
Before you talk to her, keep in mind: What does she need today?

someone to listen?

a shoulder to cry on?

a referral to a professional counselor,

a priest or minister?

or even crisis intervention?
Listen with your heart
Begin by listening to your friend. Let her pour out the whole story without interrupting her. You don’t have to understand
every detail. It’s important that she lets go of some of the burden she’s been carrying and that she no longer feels alone.
She may talk about:

what happened at the clinic

rage and anger—at the boyfriend, her parents, the clinic personnel, God, herself

guilt, regret, depression, nightmares

using alcohol or drugs to try to forget, and even suicidal thoughts

unbearable grief

being alienated from her boyfriend, family and friends

feeling that she doesn’t deserve to be loved or forgiven

Un mensaje de nuestro Vicario Parroquial, P. Sergio Rentería
Muchas Gracias!!!
Todo comienzo tiene su final, y mi estancia entre ustedes amigos y hermanos de la
Parroquia de Santa Catalina de Alejandría está llegando a su término.
Vine del Finis Terrae bendito de Cabo San Lucas a mas de mil millas de aqui donde Dios me
puso a trabajar por su reyno y compartir lo que mas amo que es mi sacerdocio. He aprendido
mucho en tan poco tiempo y le doy gracias a Dios por esta experiencia inolvidable en mi ministerio
sacerdotal. Gracias al Obispo Geral Barns, a nuestro pastor al Padre Anthony, a los pastores
eméritos, a los diáconos, a todo nuestro personal del Staff parroquial, a los laicos comprometidos
que con un gran ejercito laborando en la viña del Señor y a todos los que en la vida diaria y cada
domingo nos encotramos en el banquete de la eucaristía.
Cuando uno viene de otro pais o de otra diócesis a esta de San Bernardino (incardinación),
hay pólizas a seguir de acuerdo a la estructura pastoral y una de ellas es tener experiencia en dos
parroquias para quedarse a seguir sirviendo al pueblo de Dios que pergregina en esta porcion de su
grey amada.
Los llevare siempre en mi corazon de Padre y pastor, y sobre todo en mi plegaria y eucaristia
diaria, en el silencio y en la contemplacion de la naturaleza templo de la Gloria de Dios.
Hago mias estas palabras de San Juan Pablo segundo en su 5ta. visita pastoral a mi pais azteca: "Me voy pero no me voy, me voy, pero de corazon me quedo" (SJPII) Recen por mi.....

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The Second Vatican Council decreed that the devotional
life of the Church should be examined and reformed with an
eye towards expressing Easter faith. This encouragement for
creativity has deep roots in our tradition, and some attempts
at reform show great promise. One of the great treasures in
our devotional repertoire is a familiar feature of Lent: the
Way of the Cross. The faithful walk a path recalling the
events of Christ’s passion, a contemplative experience
increasingly enriched these days by scripture and song. There
are fourteen stations in the usual configuration, although in
recent years, a fifteenth station of the Empty Tomb has been
added. Why stop there? Why not develop a similar journey
structured on the theme of the appearances of the Risen
Lord?
Over the last decade, a V ia Lucis, or “Way of Light,” has
developed as a companion to the V ia Crucis. It has been
celebrated at the Vatican and is catching on elsewhere. There
are fourteen stations, beginning with the Women Carrying
Spices to the Tomb, continuing with the familiar appearances
of the Lord at Emmaus, the Upper Room, the shore of Tiberias. The journey ends with stations recalling the apostles’ wait
with Mary for the advent of the Spirit, and with Pentecost.
This is fertile ground indeed for the genius of artists,
musicians, preachers, and liturgists. This is a living example
of how many of our traditions are born to fill a great spiritual
need, and spread to every corner of the Church. It may even
come soon to a church near you. Maybe next Eastertime!
