FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
May 11, 2014
PRAYERS TO OUR LADY
MOTHER MARY
TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY FOR MAY
O most august and blessed Virgin Mary! Holy
Mother of God! glorious Queen of heaven and
earth! powerful protectress of those who love
thee, and unfailing advocate of all who invoke
thee! look down, I beseech thee, from thy throne of glory on thy devoted child; accept the solemn offering I present thee of this month, specially dedicated to thee, and receive my ardent, humble desire, that by
my love and fervor I could worthily honor thee, who, next to God, art
deserving of all honor. Receive me, 0 Mother of Mercy, among thy
best beloved children; extend to me thy maternal tenderness and
solicitude; obtain for me a place in the Heart of Jesus, and a special
share in the gifts of His grace. 0 deign, I beseech thee, to recognize
my claims on thy protection, to watch over my spiritual and temporal
interests, as well as those of all who are dear to me; to infuse into my
soul the spirit of Christ, and to teach me thyself to become meek,
humble, charitable, patient, and submissive to the will of God. May my
heart bum with the love of thy Divine Son, and of thee, His blessed
Mother, not for a month alone, but for time and eternity; may I thirst for
the promotion of His honor and thine, and contribute, as far as I can,
to its extension. Receive me, 0 Mary, the refuge of sinners! Grant me
a Mother's blessing and a Mother's care, now, and at the hour of my
death. Amen.
Saint John Vianney, better known as the Cure of Ars, when asked
how long he had loved Mary, said: "I loved her almost before I
could know her." In this prayer he expresses that love. O thou
most holy virgin Mary, who dost evermore stand before the most holy
Trinity, and to whom it is granted at all times to pray for us to thy most
beloved Son; pray for me in all my necessities; help me, combat for
me, and obtain for me the pardon of all my sins. Help me especially at
my last hour; and when I can no longer give any sign of the use of
reason, then do thou encourage me, make the sign of the cross for
me, and fight for me against the enemy. Make in my name a profession of faith; favor me with a testimony of my salvation, and never let
me despair of the mercy of God. Help me to overthrow the wicked
enemy. When I can no longer say: "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I place
my soul in your hands," do thou say it for me; when I can no longer
hear human words of consolation, do thou comfort me. Leave me not
before I have been judged; and if I have to expiate my sins in purgatory, oh! pray for me earnestly; and admonish my friends to procure for
me a speedy enjoyment of the blessed sight of God. Lessen my sufferings, deliver me speedily, and lead my soul into heaven with thee:
that, united with all the elect, I may there bless and praise my God
and thee for all eternity. Amen. Saint John Vianney
PETITION TO MARY
Most holy Virgin Immaculate, my Mother Mary, to thee who art the
Mother of my Lord, the queen of the universe, the advocate, the hope,
the refuge of sinners, I who am the most miserable of all sinners, have
recourse this day. I venerate thee, great queen, and I thank thee for
the many graces thou hast bestowed upon me even unto this day; in
particular for having delivered me from the hell which I have so often
deserved by my sins. I love thee, most dear Lady; and for the love I
bear thee, I promise to serve thee willingly for ever and to do what I
can to make thee loved by others also. I place in thee all my hopes for
salvation; accept me as thy servant and shelter me under thy mantle,
thou who art the Mother of mercy. And since thou art so powerful with
God, deliver me from all temptations, or at least obtain for me the
strength to overcome them until death. From thee I implore a true love
for Jesus Christ. Through thee I hope to die a holy death. My dear
Mother, by the love thou bearest to Almighty God, I pray thee to assist
me always, but most of all at the last moment of my life. Forsake me
not then, until thou shalt see me safe in heaven, there to bless thee
and sing of thy mercies through all eternity. Such is my hope. Amen.
Saint Alphonsus Liguori

News From The Streets…
Human Dignity
By Mary Martha Primerano
On one Saturday Walt and I found ourselves traveling
Downtown along the Peirce Elevated. As we made our
way through the dark underpass, I noticed a small frail 50
year old woman lying on a cardboard box. I cried out to
her from my car window “Do you need any food?” I did not
expect the response she gave me, “No thank you she said,
but do you have any underwear?” The hospital across the
street had just released Eva, after doing all they could do
for her treatment of Aids. From there she could receive
follow-up care from a Montrose clinic, but she had barely
crossed the busy street before noticing that she had
soiled on herself. She could not bear the thought to
board a public bus for shame and embarrassment, and of
offending others. It is situations like this that bring a remembrance to me of Mother Teresa’s words: “This is Jesus in distressing disguise.” This is Jesus! We sat with
her, talked, and prayed, and even though she said she did
not need any food, we left her a bag. After we finished
ministry for the day I raced to the store to buy the largest
pack of underwear I could find. “Whatever you did for one
of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Matthew
25:40.

IV DOMINGO DE PASCUA
“ EL
11 DE MAYO DEL 2014
SEÑOR ES MI PASTOR, NADA ME FALTARÁ. ALELUYA”
EL BUEN PASTOR
El fundamento de toda religión constituye la imagen, la idea
que forma de su propio Dios. Cada hombre tiene en su corazón
una idea personal de Dios - sobre todo nosotros, que somos
cristianos. Y nuestra vida cristiana, nuestra fe vital y profunda
dependen decisivamente de la imagen de Dios que tengamos.
Cada domingo, las lecturas y sobre todo el Evangelio pintan
nuevos rasgos de este rostro divino, y así animan y perfeccionan
nuestra idea de Dios.
Anhelamos un pastor. El Evangelio de hoy muestra a Dios
como Buen Pastor. Es una imagen de Dios muy conocida y viva
desde el cristianismo primitivo. Ya la encontramos
frecuentemente en las catacumbas. Pero también hoy en día
todos conocemos estas imágenes del Buen Pastor en medio de
su rebaño, o con la oveja sobre sus hombros. Parece que a todos
los cristianos de todos los tiempos esta persona del Buen Pastor
los impresionó hondamente. ¿De dónde viene este anhelo
escondido?
¿De dónde viene esta simpatía entre el Buen Pastor y nosotros?
Creo que es porque su rostro nos promete cariño y entrega,
protección y seguridad. Porque muchas veces nos sentimos
solos, desamparados, solitarios. Porque frecuentemente nos
sentimos como ovejas perdidas. El peso de nuestras debilidades,
de nuestros sufrimientos, de nuestras limitaciones nos dan pena
y nos mortifican. Queremos estar con Jesús, nuestro Pastor, que
nos vigila, nos dirige y nos busca, que conoce a cada uno de
nosotros por su nombre, nos llama y, si llega el caso, arriesga su
vida por defendernos contra el enemigo.
Pastor: soledad e incomprensión.
Jesús mostró el sumo grado de su amor de pastor sacrificándose
por nosotros, tanto en su vida como en su muerte. “Nadie tiene
mayor amor que el que da la vida por sus amigos” (Jn 15,13).
Ya su vida fue un gran sacrificio por su misión: un sacrificio de
soledad y de incomprensión por los demás. Ni siquiera su
Madre lo comprende siempre, si pensamos en el episodio
cuando tenía doce años: “¿No sabíais que yo debo ocuparme en
los asuntos de mi Padre?” (Lc 2,49). También la conducta de
los apóstoles frente a Él, muestra que no tienen comprensión
para con su persona ni para con su misión. Así, un día, Jesús les
dice a ellos: “Llevo tanto tiempo con vosotros, y no me habéis
conocido” (Jn 14,9). Y mucho menos que sus discípulos, lo
entiende el pueblo. De modo que Jesús queda, en el fondo, solo
con su misión. Y el colmo de su soledad se realiza en su
sacrificio en la cruz. Él es realmente el Buen Pastor “que
arriesga su vida por sus ovejas”; que la entrega por amor a los
suyos. Sólo el mayor sacrificio le basta para manifestar su amor
infinito. Esta es una de las leyes del Reino de Dios: ¡Si quieres
ser amado, ama! Si quieres ser amado por los demás, entonces
tienes que mostrarles tu propio amor, sacrificándote por ellos.
Y Dios emplea esta ley de un modo singularmente hermoso y
profundamente eficaz. Él quiere nuestro amor, y por eso nos
ama con un amor palpable, desbordante.
Sentirnos amados… el inicio de la santidad.
Solía decirnos el Padre José Kentenich, fundador del
Movimiento Apostólico de Schoenstatt: Todos los santos
comenzaron a escalar las cumbres de la santidad, cuando se
sintieron objeto del amor eterno e infinito de Dios. Cuando me
creo y siento amado por Dios, entonces se despierta en mí la
respuesta del amor. Mientras estamos convencidos de que hay
alguien que nos ama, nuestro amor está asegurado. Pase lo que
pase, jamás debe abandonamos la profunda convicción: Él me
ama. Y si nos preguntamos, por qué somos tan poco inflamados
para Dios y para lo divino, pues ya sabemos la respuesta: no
sentimos ni comprendemos ese amor abundante de Dios.
Vivimos como si Jesús no hubiera muerto en la cruz por
nosotros. Queridos hermanos, el día de hoy, el domingo del
Buen Pastor, tiene todavía otro significado: celebramos como
cada año la jornada mundial de oración por las vocaciones. Es
nuestra respuesta a la consigna del Señor: “La mies es
abundante y los obreros pocos. Rogad, pues, al Dueño de la
mies que envíe obreros a su mies” (Mt 9,37).
Pero, a la vez, hemos de acompañar en la oración a nuestros
sacerdotes, religiosos y religiosas, para que sean verdaderos
pastores de las almas, llenos de amor desinteresado, reflejos
auténticos de Jesucristo, nuestro Buen y Eterno Pastor.
¡Qué así sea!
En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo.
Amén.
