Dear Parishioners,
A person is a true friend to us only if he/she
speaks the truth!
We trust his/hers words because we know his/hers
heart, and one who speaks the truth speaks what is in
the heart.
God is faithful and not only is what He does true,
but He is Truth itself!
God is above all Lord, He Who leads, expects, decides and judges. However, God does not owe to us
any payment, compensation or explanation for anything. Our very existence is His gift, and He is always
ready to increase our existence with supernatural graces.
At the same time, God is the Friend Who always
gives and helps, always rewards our reverential love
and striving to be good, for He is the Source of all
love and good.
Indeed, sometime along the way we will become
convinced that God is beyond even the best of the
best of friends to us that we might imagine, for it is
He that no human being ever can replace.
-Very Rev. Andrew Szymakowski, J.C.L.
(Pastor)

Prayer of Pope Francis for the Jubilee: Lord Jesus Christ, you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that
whoever sees you sees Him. Show us your face and we will be saved. Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money; the
adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things; made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!” You are the visible face
of the invisible Father, of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy: let the Church be your visible face in the
world, its Lord risen and glorified. You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God. Send your Spirit
and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year of grace from the Lord, and your Church,
with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the
blind. We ask this of you, Lord Jesus, through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy; you who live and reign with the Father and
the Holy Spirit for ever and ever. Amen.
Señor Jesucristo, tú nos has enseñado a ser misericordiosos como el Padre del cielo, y nos has dicho que quien te ve, lo ve también a Él.
Muéstranos tu rostro y obtendremos la salvación. Tu mirada llena de amor liberó a Zaqueo y a Mateo de la esclavitud del dinero; a la
adúltera y a la Magdalena del buscar la felicidad solamente en una creatura; hizo llorar a Pedro luego de la traición, y aseguró el Paraíso al ladrón arrepentido. Haz que cada uno de nosotros escuche como propia la palabra que dijiste a la samaritana: ¡Si conocieras el don de Dios!Tú eres el rostro visible
del Padre invisible,del Dios que manifiesta su omnipotencia sobre todo con el perdón y la misericordia: haz que, en el mundo, la Iglesia sea el rostro visible de Ti, su Señor, resucitado y glorioso.Tú has querido que también tus ministros fueran revestidos de debilidad para que sientan sincera compasión por
los que se encuentran en la ignorancia o en el error:haz que quien se acerque a uno de ellos se sienta esperado, amado y perdonado por Dios.Manda tu
Espíritu y conságranos a todos con su unción para que el Jubileo de la Misericordia sea un año de gracia del Señor y tu Iglesia pueda, con renovado entusiasmo, llevar la Buena Nueva a los pobresproclamar la libertad a los prisioneros y oprimidosy restituir la vista a los ciegos. Te lo pedimos por intercesión de María, Madre de la Misericordia, a ti que vives y reinas con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo por los siglos de los siglos. Amen.
THIS SPACE IS AVAILABLE!
PRAYER FOR COMMUNITY: Embracing Father,
You grace each of us with equal measure in your love. Let
us learn to love our neighbors more deeply, so that we can
create peaceful and just communities. Inspire us to use
our creative energies to build the structures we need to
overcome the obstacles of intolerance and indifference.
May Jesus provide us the example needed and send the
Spirit to warm our hearts for the journey. Amen.
YEAR OF MERCY QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
“But you, man of God, pursue righteousness,
devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.” (1 Tim 6:11) For men – and women –
of God, no better “marching orders” could be
found!
When have you done more
than was required of you?
How do you feel after doing something extra for a family member or a friend?
