Saint Joseph Parishioners must attend a preparation class on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 7:45 PM prior to the Baptism. Baptisms are held on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at 1:30 PM. NUEVOS PARROQUIANOS Los parroquianos, registran por favor en la parroquia que asiste. Si mueve a o lejos de su parroquia, llama por favor la oficina de su parroquia a decirlos. Muchas Gracias. Our Lady of Good Counsel Parishioners are required to attend a preparation class. To arrange a date call Sr. Kathy Slevin. Baptisms are celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 12:30 PM. WEDDINGS - MATRIMONIO The Sacrament of Marriage celebrates the union of a man and a woman within the Church Community. We encourage those planning a marriage to contact the appropriate Parish before booking the Reception Hall. All plans with the Parish should be made at least 6 months prior to anticipated date so proper preparations, including Pre-Cana and FOCCUS can be made. The bride or groom must be members of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish or St. Joseph’s Parish. Los padres necesitan llamar Padre Fernando por una fecha y por una clase. NEW PARISHIONERS Please register at the appropriate Rectory. If you are moving within or outside the Parish Please inform the appropriate Parish office Por favor, llama la oficina siete meses antes de hacer una fecha. Necesita tomar clases de “Pre-Cana.” y “FOCCUS”. Sixth Sunday of Easter Sexto Domingo de Pascua Just as the origins of Lent have to do with accompanying people in the final stages of preparation for baptism at Eastertime, so does the structure of the Easter season help the newly received Catholics take root in the community. This is the season of “mystagogy,” which means “reflection on the mysteries.” This means that new Catholics are remembering the sacraments by which they become one with us, and are sorting out the implications for their everyday life. They can understand the excitement of Cornelius and his family in the first reading, filled with the Holy Spirit, and so eager to begin their new life that they overwhelm St. Peter. The second reading and the Gospel today likewise help our new brothers and sisters explore their new life as an experience of God’s tender love. Long ago, our tradition named these newly baptized adults and children the “neophytes,” from Greek words meaning “newly planted.” Newly planted in the garden of faith, they look to us to provide the fertile soil in which their new life can take root and grow. You can help. If you have “neophytes” in your parish, a card or note of welcome, or warm words of congratulation, are still timely. It’s Easter! El día 15 de mayo los campesinos de Ichocán, Perú adornan sus yugos, y las puertas de sus casas con el fruto de sus cosechas en honor a San Isidro Labrador. Muchos países Latinoamericanos celebran esta fiesta. En un continente donde la agricultura es tan importante no hay que sorprenderse de la importancia de este santo español del siglo XII. Además San Isidro se parece a mucha gente de Latinoamérica: es de padres campesinos, de familia pobre y religiosa, no fue a la escuela, quedó huérfano y se empleó como peón de campo, ayudando en la agricultura. Se casó con María la cual también llego a ser Santa. Tuvieron un hijo. Los tres fueron reconocidos como piadosos y generosos. Gracias a Dios, la santidad se encuentra en todo tipo de persona. Los casados y padres y madres de familia también llegan a ser santos. Después de su muerte en 1130 se descubrió que su cuerpo estaba milagrosamente incorrupto. En 1622 el Papa canonizó a este humilde campesino junto con algunos grandes religiosos como Santa Teresa, San Ignacio, y San Francisco Javier. —James Field, Copyright © J. S.

Every great religious revival in America has led to an advance in civil rights— from the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights to the end of slavery and the pursuit of racial equality. But all this has been achieved in the face of established power structures strongly and often violently opposed to these rights. So this is a time for choosing—choosing whether as Catholics we will stand together to keep open the doors of religious liberty. If we do so, then we will make possible the next great awakening in America that will bring us closer to building that culture of life and civilization of love about which John Paul II so often spoke. ~ Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson, Address to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast (April 19, 2012) Friday, May 25th- Sunday May 27th RACHEL’S VINEYARD HEALING RETREAT Healing after Abortion, for Men and Women Huntington, NY Call 516-523-0586, or e-mail [email protected] www.rachelsvineyard.org Cada gran renacimiento religioso en Estados Unidos ha llevado a un avance en los derechos civiles, desde la Declaración de la Independencia y la Declaración de Derechos al fin de la esclavitud y la búsqueda de la igualdad racial. Pero todo esto se ha logrado enfrentando a las estructuras de poder establecidas opuestas fuerte y a menudo violentamente a estos derechos. Por tanto, este es un momento para elegir —elegir si como católicos permaneceremos juntos para mantener abiertas las puertas de la libertad religiosa. Si lo hacemos, entonces haremos posible el próximo gran despertar en Estados Unidos que nos acercará aún más a la construcción de esa cultura de la vida y civilización del amor de las que tan a menudo hablaba Juan Pablo II. ~ Caballero Supremo Carl A. Anderson, Discurso ante el Desayuno católico nacional de oración (19 de abril de 2012) ized saints who was married, Isidore and his wife Maria are patron saints of farmers. At meals today, give thanks for farmers who grow our food. Sunday, May 13, 2012 Joy and Friendship: The Final Commandment Today’s Readings: Acts 10:25–26, 34–35, 44–48; Psalm 98:1, 2–3, 3–4 (See 2b); 1 John 4:7–10; John 15:9–17. Today Jesus tells his friends his purpose in coming: “that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete” (15:11). Because Jesus set his eyes set on joyful loving, he endured the cross; the Passion wasn’t redemptive simply because it was painful. Suffering and joy seem like strange companions, but Jesus promises we can both suffer and be joyous. We may not think of ourselves as being God’s delight, but that seems to be what Jesus says. We are more often filled with doubt or self-recrimination, and that must grieve the heart of God. Furthermore, Jesus calls those gathered for his Last Supper not servants but friends (15:15), and we know from the beloved Lenten story of raising Lazarus what friendship with him means. It gives us the freedom to speak as plainly as Martha did (“there will be a stench!”). It motivates us to act not from fear as a slave might, but from eagerness to please a friend. Indeed, Jesus does not ask for brilliance, daring exploits, or superhuman feats. Instead, he commands, “Abide in my love,” enjoying a restful peace and security. His commandment is not to jump through hoops, trying to please, but to love each other. Not that it’s easy. Loving can be fraught with difficulty. But it bears eternal fruit. This Week at Home Monday, May 14 Feast of Saint Matthias Today’s Readings: Acts 1:15–17, 20–26; Psalm 113:1–2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 (8); John 15:9–17. All we know about Matthias is found in today’s reading from Acts: he is chosen by prayer and by lots to replace Judas, taking up the mission Jesus gave the apostles. We also are called to walk with the Lord Jesus and to witness to his Resurrection. Tuesday, May 15 Saint Isidore (1070–1130) Today’s Readings: Acts 16:22–34; Psalm 138:1–2ab, 2cde–3, 7c–8 (7c); John 16:5–11. Born in Madrid, Saint Isidore, whose optional memorial we may celebrate today, was a simple peasant who lived an ordinary life, working for a large landowner. He was known for generosity to those poorer than himself. One of the few canon- Wednesday, May 16 How Could We Ever Repay? Today’s Readings: Acts 17:15, 22—18:1; Psalm 148:1– 2, 11–12, 13, 14 (Alleluia); John 16:12–15. During the tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona, in January of 2011, some made heroic efforts to protect others, and died doing so. Imagine being a survivor whose spouse or friend died saving your life. You would want to live in a way that honored the person and the gift. Christ gave his life to save ours. The Spirit of truth in today’s Gospel can show us how to make some small repayment in our lives. Thursday, May 17 If Celebrating the Ascension Today Today’s Readings: Acts 1:1–11; Psalm 47:2–3, 6–7, 8–9 (6); Ephesians 1:17–23 or 4:1–13; Mark 16:15–20. Today’s solemnity is not about Jesus’ absence or about saying good bye, but rather his continued presence among us. Ephesians 1:23 explains that Christ fills the universe, so we must learn to expect him at every turn. It’s a great day for a picnic or procession, burning incense, and celebratory music. Friday, May 18 Saint John I Today’s Readings: Acts 18:9–18; Psalm 47:2–3, 4–5, 6–7 (8a); John 16:20–23. Pope John, whose optional memorial we may celebrate today, served from 523 to 526. He walked a difficult line between his own orthodoxy and Theodoric, ruler of Italy, who embraced the Arian heresy. Theodoric sent him to Constantinople to persuade the Byzantine Emperor to soften his harsh treatment of Arians in that region. On his return John was imprisoned at Ravenna, where he died. Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel would have given comfort: “So you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice” (16:22). Saturday, May 19 Joy after Sorrow Today’s Readings: Acts 18:23–28; Psalm 47:2–3, 8–9, 10 (8a); John 16:23b–28. In today’s Gospel, Jesus promises his disciples that joy will eventually eclipse suffering, just as the joy of a child coming into the world replaces the pain of childbirth. He says, “On that day you will ask nothing of me” (16:23). But in the meantime, we will need to ask for help, and he invites us to ask the Father in his name. “Ask and you will receive . . . ” (24). © 2011 Liturgy Training Publications. 1-800-933-1800.

Domingo 13 de mayo de 2012 Alegría y amistad: el último mandamiento Lecturas del día: Hechos 10:25–26, 34–35, 44–48; Salmo 98:1, 2–3, 3–4 (Ver 2b); 1 Juan 4:7–10; Juan 15:9–17. Hoy Jesús revela a sus amigos el propósito de su venida: “Les he dicho esto para que participen de mi alegría y sean plenamente felices” (15:11). A pesar de que Jesús tenía sus ojos en el amor gozoso, sufrió la muerte en la cruz; la pasión no fue redentora simplemente porque fue brutalmente dolorosa. Los dos contrastes parecen ser compañeros extraños, pero Jesús nos promete que podemos a la vez sufrir y experimentar el gozo. Tal vez no nos veamos a nosotros mismos como el placer de Dios, pero esto es precisamente lo que Jesús parece decir. La mayoría de las veces estamos llenos de duda y nos recriminamos a nosotros mismos y esto debe de causar dolor al corazón de Dios. Aún más, Jesús no llama siervos, sino amigos, a quienes estaban reunidos con Él durante la Última Cena (15:15), y sabemos por medio de la muy querida historia cuaresmal sobre la resurrección de Lázaro, lo que la amistad significa para él. Nos da la libertad para hablar sencillamente como Marta lo hizo (“ya apesta”). Esto nos motiva a actuar no con el miedo que un siervo puede tener, sino con el deseo de complacer a un amigo. En verdad, Jesús no pide genialidad, hazañas riesgosas o éxitos sobrehumanos. Todo lo contrario, él manda, “permaneced en mi amor,” gozando de una paz tranquilizante y de seguridad. Su mandamiento no es de saltar barras, tratando de complacer, sino el de amar el uno al otro. Y no es fácil. Amar puede traer consigo dificultades. Pero produce fruto eterno. Esta Semana en el hogar Lunes 14 de mayo San Matías Apóstol, fiesta Lecturas del día: Hechos 1:15–17, 20–26; Salmo 149:1b–2, 3– 4, 5–6a, 9b (Aleluya); Juan 15:9–17. Lo que sabemos de Matías se encuentra en la lectura de hoy en Hechos de los Apóstoles. Fue escogido por medio de la oración y la suerte para reemplazar a Judas, tomando la misión que Jesús dió a los apóstoles. También a nosotros se nos llama a caminar con el Señor Jesús y dar testimonio de su resurrección. Martes 15 de mayo San Isidro Labrador Lecturas del día: Hechos 16:22–34; Salmo 138:1–2ab, 2cde–3, 7c–8 (7c); Juan 16:5–11. Nacido en Madrid, España, San Isidro era un campesino sencillo que vivía una vida ordinaria, trabajando para un gran propietario. Fue conocido por su generosidad hacia los pobres como él y es uno de los pocos santos canonizados que estaba casado. Isidro y su esposa María son los patronos de los campesinos. Hoy, dé gracias por los campesinos que cultivan nuestra comida. Miércoles 16 de mayo ¿Cómo podemos recompensarle? Lecturas del día: Hechos 17:15, 22—18:1; Salmo 148:1–2, 11– 12, 13, 14 (Aleluya); Juan 16:12–15. Durante el tiroteo en Tucson, Arizona, en enero de 2011, por proteger a los demás algunos murieron en el intento. Imagínese como uno de los sobrevivientes cuando su esposa o amigo murieron salvando su vida, viviría de tal manera que su testimonio honrara su amor y valentía. Igualmente, Cristo dio su vida para salvarnos. El Espíritu de verdad en el Evangelio de hoy nos muestra cómo podemos hacer sacrificios en nuestra vida por amor. Jueves 17 de mayo Si hoy celebran la Ascensión del Señor: Lecturas del día: Hechos 1:1–11; Salmo 47:2–3, 6–7, 8–9 (6); Efesios 1:17–23 ó 4:1–13; Marcos 16:15–20. La solemnidad de hoy no es acerca de la ausencia de Jesús o su despedida, sino su continua presencia entre nosotros. Efesios 1:23 explica que Cristo llena el universo. Es buen día para un picnic o una procesión, encender incienso y música de celebración. Viernes 18 de mayo San Juan I, memoria opcional Lecturas del día: Hechos 18:9–18; Salmo 47:2–3, 4–5, 6–7 (8a); Juan 16:20–23. El Papa Juan I, tuvo dificultades con Teodorico, gobernante de Italia, quien acogía la herejía Arriana. Teodorico lo envió a Constantinopla para persuadir al emperador bizantino de suavizar su trato de los arrianos en su región. A su regreso, Juan fue encarcelado en Ravena, donde murió. Las palabras de Jesús le habrían dado consuelo: “Así ustedes ahora están tristes; pero los volveré a visitar y se llenarán de alegría, y nadie les quitará su alegría” (16:22). Sábado 19 de mayo El gozo después del dolor Lecturas del día: Hechos 18:23–28; Salmo 47:2– 3, 8–9, 10 (8a); Juan 16:23b–28. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús promete que el gozo eventualmente eclipsa al sufrimiento. Jesús promete, “Aquel día no me preguntarán nada” (16:23). Mientras tanto, necesitamos pedir ayuda y Jesús nos invita a pedirle al Padre en su nombre. “Pide y recibirás . . .” (24). © 2011 Liturgy Training Publications. 1-800-933-1800.

TODAY’S READINGS - LECTURAS DE HOY THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT We have a unique episode in the Acts of the Apostles today. A whole roomful of people are baptized with the Holy Spirit before they are baptized with water! The verb used—“the Holy Spirit ‘fell’ on them” (Acts 10:44)—is characteristic of the way the Spirit works throughout the book of Acts: powerful and surprising. Though this “baptism” is not the normative way the New Testament describes baptism, it is still a good reminder today that the Holy Spirit is not controlled by whether or not we pour water, but rather that our sacramental signs reveal the presence of the Spirit at work among us. And we have a double reinforcement of how this work is accomplished from a Letter and a Gospel bearing John’s name. It is love, self-sacrificing and self-giving love, that manifests the Spirit of Jesus in our midst. It is love that is the greatest of commandments. The Spirit is manifested equally through those who live in that love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LA PRESENCIA DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO Hoy tenemos un episodio único en los Hechos de los Apóstoles. ¡Un grupo de personas que llena una habitación es bautizado con el Espíritu Santo antes de que se bautizaran con agua! La palabra que se usa para describir el suceso: “el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre ellos” (Hechos 10:44), es característica de la forma en que el Espíritu obra en todo el libro de los Hechos: de manera poderosa y sorprendente. Aunque este “bautismo” no es la norma para describir el bautismo en el Nuevo Testamento, es sin embargo un buen recordatorio de que el Espíritu Santo no está controlado por si hemos vertido el agua o no, sino que nuestros signos sacramentales revelan al Espíritu presente y obrando entre nosotros. Y tenemos un doble refuerzo de cómo esta obra se lleva a cabo en la carta y el Evangelio que llevan el nombre de Juan. Es el amor, el auto sacrificio y el amor de entrega, que manifiestan al Espíritu de Jesús entre nosotros. El amor es el más grande de los mandamientos. El Espíritu se manifiesta también a través de los que viven en ese amor. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
