Pastor’s Corner
I am the vine, you are the branches, abide in me as I am in you.”
What else would this statement of Jesus mean other than “He is our source of Life?” These words reveal to
us that the secret to living a holy and perfect life is to stay connected with Jesus. How do we stay connected with
Jesus? Above all, through the intimacy of prayer. Prayer is a sincere conversation with God inspired by a loving
and confident relationship with Him. Prayer affords us the opportunity to talk with Jesus and at the same time listen
to His words and intimations.
We also stay connected with Jesus through the living of His commandments and teachings. “Whoever says
that He loves me but does not keep my commandments is a liar” (1Jh.2:4). Jesus commandments and teachings are
guidepost to living a good life. They set up the parameters of Christian life that the following of which will lead us
to a happy and joyful life.
We also stay connected with Jesus through the Sacraments. The Sacraments are channels of grace. They
renew, nourish and sustain us. They bring us closer to Jesus Christ who is the origin and source of all grace.
But Jesus’ desire does not only end in staying connected with Him. He also wants us to bear fruits – rich
and overflowing fruits. He wants us to bear fruits of love, peace, joy, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, and self-control. He wants us to produce fruits of kindness, generosity, forgiveness. Very clearly, He
warns that if we do not bring forth fruits, we shall be pruned to allow greater possibility of producing in abundance.
Points for reflection: How stable is my connection with Jesus? Is my faith-relationship with Jesus producing
abundant fruits? Where are the areas of my life I need to be pruned?

National Day of Prayer (May 7, 2015)
What is National Day of Prayer?
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all
faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed
into law by President Harry S. Truman. The Task Force is a privately funded organization whose purpose is to encourage participation on the National Day of Prayer. It exists to communicate with every individual the need for
personal repentance and prayer, to create appropriate materials, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America’s leaders and its families. The Task Force represents a Judeo Christian expression of the national
observance, based on our understanding that this country was birthed in prayer and in reverence for the God of the
Bible.
Significance of National Day of Prayer?
The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation as it enables us to recall and to teach the
way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call
for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. The
unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as
important to our nation today as it was in the beginning.
Like Thanksgiving or Christmas, this day has become a national observance placed on all Hallmark calendars and observed annually across the nation and in Washington, D.C. Every year, local, state, and federal observances were held from sunrise in Maine to sunset in Hawaii, uniting Americans from all socio-economic, political
and ethnic backgrounds in prayer for our nation. It is estimated that over two million people attended more than
30,000 observances – organized by approximately 40,000 volunteers. At state capitols, county court houses, on the
steps of city halls, and in schools, businesses, churches and homes, people stopped their activities and gathered for
prayer. (www.nationaldayofprayer.org)

Serra Daily Prayer for priestly and religious vocations: Jesus, Lord of the harvest, Look with love on this portion of your vineyard. Bless the Diocese of
San Diego with more priests to shepherd your people, Priests with hearts like your own. Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Pray for Priests and Vocations “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their
work.” (1 Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV) When we pray for vocations for the priesthood, diaconate and religious, we actually pray for ourselves, since holy priests,
deacons and religious should result in a holier people. When we pray for these servants of Christ, we also win the favor of Christ, for we, in so praying, are
furthering His work. By praying for vocations we are helping our children and our children's children because we are using a meritorious means of preserving our faith for them. “Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.” (1
Thess. 5:12, 13, NIV)

Valley Center High School would like to invite you to a
community forum for parents to be held:
Monday, May 11th 6PM in the Media Center at VCHS.
Principal Ron McCowan and teacher Jeff Tuttle
would like to meet with parents in the community who are considering an alternative
educational setting such as a charter or home school program for their children.
Valley Center High School is developing a program and would like to get input from
parents. Topics include how Valley Center High School can develop individualized
educational opportunities which will allow students to participate in high school
sports, clubs and activities, while experiencing a more personalized education.
For more information contact Ron McCowan at 760 751-5500
BEREAVEMENT CORNER: Some of you have mentioned that you have students
down in the San Diego Area that are grieving. I thought that the NEW below group might be
of interest to them. VITAS Healthcare are very proud of their newest addition, the 20/30's
Grief Gathering, offered in San Diego near the College area. The group is uniquely designed to
meet the needs of an often neglected grieving population, those in their young adult years. This
group meets the 1st Monday of each month at 6:30 pm.
SAINT OF THE DAY:James, Son of Alphaeus: We know nothing of this
man except his name, and of course the fact that Jesus chose
him to be one of the 12 pillars of the New Israel, his Church.
He is not the James of Acts, son of Clopas, “brother” of Jesus
and later bishop of Jerusalem and the traditional author of the
Letter of James. James, son of Alphaeus, is also known as
James the Lesser to avoid confusing him with James the son
of Zebedee, also an apostle and known as James the Greater.
(AmericanCatholic.org)
A Very Special Event The Missionary Society of Saint James the Apostle is sending one of their
Latin American missionaries to our parish next week as part of our special
appeal for the South American missions. Founded by Cardinal Cushing in
1958, members of the Society are diocesan priests, from English speaking
countries, who work with the exceptionally poor in Peru and Ecuador.
Please be as generous as your means allow to help those less fortunate.

“Yo soy la vid, vosotros los sarmientos, permaneced en mí como yo en ti."
¿Qué otra cosa que esta declaración de Jesús significa "Él es nuestra fuente de Vida?" Estas palabras nos revelan que el
secreto para vivir una vida santa y perfecta es mantenerse en contacto con Jesús. ¿Cómo podemos estar conectados con Jesús?
Sobre todo, a través de la intimidad de la oración. Oración es una conversación sincera con Dios inspirado por el amor y confianza en relación con Él. Oración nos brinda la oportunidad de hablar con Jesús, y al mismo tiempo, escuchar sus palabras y indicación.
También permanecemos conectado con Jesús a través de la vida de sus mandamientos y enseñanzas. "Aquel que dice
que me ama pero no guardar mis mandamientos es un mentiroso" (12:4 ). Los mandamientos y enseñanzas de Jesús son guías
para vivir una vida buena. Que configurar los parámetros de la vida cristiana, que de los que los dirige a una vida feliz y alegre.
También permanecemos conectado con Jesús a través de los Sacramentos. Los Sacramentos son los canales de la gracia.
Que renueven, nutrir y sostener a nosotros. Que nos traen más cerca a Jesucristo, que es el origen y fuente de la gracia.
Pero el deséo de Jesús no solo termina en seguir estar conectado con Él. Tabien Él quiere que paremos frutos - frutos
ricos y desbordante. Él nos quiere producir frutos de amor, paz, gozo, paciencia, gentileza, bondad, fe, mansedumbre, templanza. Él quiere que nosotros para producir frutos de bondad, generosidad, perdón. Muy claramente, por lo tanto, advierte que si no
producir frutos, vamos a ser podados para permitir una mayor posibilidad de producir en abundancia.
Puntos para la reflexión: ¿Cuán estable es mi relación con Jesús? Es mi relación de fe con Jesús dando abundantes frutos?
¿Cuáles son las áreas de mi vida que necesitan ser podados?

Dia Nacional de Oración (mayo 7, 2015)
¿Que es Día Nacional de Oración?
El Día Nacional de la oración es una celebración anual celebrado el primer jueves de mayo, invitando a la gente de
todas las religiones a orar por la nación. Fue creado en 1952 por una resolución conjunta del Congreso de los Estados Unidos, y
que fue firmada por el Presidente Harry S. Truman. El Grupo de Fuerza una organización privada cuyo objetivo es fomentar la
participación en el Día Nacional de Oración. Que existe para comunicarse con todas las personas la necesidad de arrepentimiento personal y en la oración, para crear materiales apropiados, y de movilizar a la comunidad cristiana para que interceda por los
dirigentes de los Estados Unidos y sus familias. El Grupo de Trabajo representa un Judeo cristiana expresión de la celebración a
nivel nacional, sobre la base de nuestro entendimiento de que este país era nacido en la oración y reverencia al Dios de la Biblia.
¿Significado del Día Nacional de Oración?
El Día Nacional de la oración tiene un gran significado para nosotros, como nación, ya que nos permite recordar y enseñar la forma en que nuestros padres fundadores buscaron la sabiduría de Dios cuando se enfrentan con decisiones críticas. Es
una llamada para nosotros humildemente venir ante Dios, buscando su orientación de nuestros líderes y su gracia en nosotros
como pueblo. La aprobación por unanimidad del proyecto de ley que crea el Día Nacional de la Oración como un evento anual,
significa que la oración es tan importante para nuestra nación hoy como lo fue en el principio.
Como Acción Gracias o de Navidad, este día, que se ha convertido en una celebración a nivel nacional distintivo en todos los calendarios y observados anualmente en toda la nación y en la ciudad de Washington, D. C. Cada año, locales, estatales

REZO PARA SACERDOTES....Jesús, reza por tu sacerdote fiel y ferviente; Por tus sacerdotes infieles y tibios; Por tus sacerdotes que trabajan en casa o en un pais
extranjero y en misiónes distantes. Por tu sacerdote tentado; Por tus sacerdotes solos y solitarios; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes agonizantes; por las
almas de tus sacerdotes en el Calvario. Pero sobre todo, te recomiendo a los sacerdotes los más queridos a mí: el sacerdote que me bautizó; los sacerdotes que me exoneraron de mis pecados; los sacerdotes en cuyas misas que asistí y quién me dan Tu Cuerpo y Sangre en la Sagrada Comunión; los sacerdotes que me enseñaron e instruyeron; Todos los sacerdotes a quien soy endeudado de cualquier otro modo (sobre todo a...). Guárdalos cerca de tu corazón. Amén. Oración Diaria por las Vocaciones:
Jesús de la coseha, mira con amor a esta porción de tu viña. Bendice la Diócesis de San Diego con más sacerdotes que pastoreen a tu pueblo, sacerdotes con un corazón
