God knew what He was doing when He created women with the ability to nurture life. Mother's Day honors all our mothers and their enormous sacrifices. Mother's Day encompasses more than just the honoring of those who have borne children. It is the celebration of motherhood---the divine nature of women. May we all feel a deeper appreciation for the great blessing of motherhood, not just when we celebrate Mother's Day, but everyday! Our culture of death undermines both motherhood and the God-given gift and blessing of children. May we also help the next generation reclaim and respect this incredible gift of MOTHERHOOD! BULLETIN ADVERTISING Mark FitzGerald from Diocesan Publications will be in our Church Office from Monday, May 9th until Friday, May 13th.

Iglesia Católica Nuestra Señora Estrella del Mar SEPTIMO DOMINGO DE PASCUA LA ASCENSION DEL SEÑOR (Evangelio de San Lucas 24, 46-53). Queridos Hermanos: En este Domingo, celebramos con gozo la gran Fiesta de la Ascensión del Señor. En esta gran fiesta religiosa, los invito a meditar en los siguientes puntos importantes: 1. La despedida de Jesús. Gracias al encuentro con Jesús resucitado, a los discípulos se les abre la inteligencia para comprender la Sagrada Escritura. Y comprender la Sagrada Escritura, es comprender el proyecto de Dios y el Misterio Pascual de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo: Su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección. Jesús nos invita a ser testigos de El, y anunciar la conversión y el perdón de los pecados. Pero los Apóstoles ni tampoco nosotros, entendimos claramente a Jesús como Mesías y Señor. Por lo tanto; Jesús necesitó enviarnos al Espíritu Santo, para que El nos explicara y nos enseñara todo. Con la fuerza del Espíritu Santo, predicamos a Jesús crucificado, muerto y resucitado. de ahí que San Pablo después nos diga en una de sus cartas: "Jesús en la cruz, es escándalo para los judíos y locura para los griegos (paganos); en cambio para nosotros, es la sabiduría de Dios. 2. La Ascensión del Señor. Jesucristo es ascendido al Reino de los Cielos, como Juez de todos. Este gran acontecimiento de la Ascensión del Señor, es para nosotros objeto de fe. Jesús en aquel último encuentro, bendice a sus Apóstoles, les hace ver una nueva realidad, y los deja como comunidad, es decir como Iglesia; para que continúen construyendo el Reino de Dios aquí en la tierra, anunciando a Jesucristo por todos los rincones del mundo. Por lo tanto; el cristiano, debe anunciar a Jesucristo con entusiasmo y alegría, en todos lugares donde se encuentre, ya sea el hogar, la familia, la oficina, el hotel, el lugar de trabajo, etc. 3. El Cielo comienza aquí en la tierra. La concepción de cielo y felicidad en la otra vida, resulta para muchos, algo demasiado lejano y abstracto. Por lo tanto; podemos creer más fácilmente en el cielo, cuando experimentamos que ese futuro de alguna manera comienza aquí, ya desde ahora en el momento presente. Pero el cielo, no es simplemente un lugar donde vamos a ir después de morir, sino el disfrute pleno y total del amor de Dios. Pero todo eso, se va gestando desde aquí en la tierra. Por eso; cada vez que hacemos el bien, cada vez que somos promotores de paz, felicidad y amor; ya estamos viviendo de cierta manera, la realidad del Reino de los Cielos. 4. Estamos en el mundo pero no somos del mundo. Por lo tanto; vivamos fieles a Dios. El cristiano debe saber que está en este mundo, pero que no pertenece a este mundo. De Dios hemos venido y a Dios tenemos que volver. Pero también, no olvidemos que no somos seres espirituales. Somos personas normales y corrientes. Por eso; tenemos que poner muy bien los pies sobre la tierra. Como diría el mismo Jesús: "Lo que es del Cesar al Cesar y lo que es de Dios a Dios". Evitar el peligro de caer en un fanatismo religioso, o caer en un indiferentismo religioso. Es decir; fe y razón, oración y trabajo deben ir juntos de la mano. Pidámosle a la Virgen María; para que Ella, nos ayude a ser personas de trabajo y oración al mismo tiempo, y así seguir siendo constructores de una nueva sociedad. Dios los bendiga. Cordialmente; Padre Orlando. EVANGELIZACION CATEQUESIS PARA ADULTOS (R.I.C.A.) El Rito de Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos es un proceso de conversión y crecimiento espiritual, que toma tiempo, en nuestra relación con Dios y la Iglesia. Es un camino de fe donde los adultos están totalmente bienvenidos en la Iglesia Católica. Si usted está interesado en la exploración de una relación con Jesucristo y se a preguntado acerca de la Iglesia Católica, o convirtiéndose a la fe católica, la iniciación en la Iglesia Católica a través de la celebración de los sacramentos del Bautismo, Confirmación y Eucaristía.

Séptimo Domingo de Pascua COMPARATIENDO NOTICIAS….. EXPOSICION DEL SANTISIMO Todos los Jueves hay Hora Santa, Exposición y Bendición con el Santísimo. A las 7:00 PM. L M Las madres son un obsequio de Dios. Dios sabía lo que andaba haciendo cuando Él creó a las mujeres con la habilidad de nutrir a la existencia. El Día de las Madres honra a todas las mujeres y a sus enormes sacrificios. El Día de las Madres abarca más que sólo la honra de aquellas que han dado a luz a los niños. Es la celebración de la maternidad – la divina naturaleza de las mujeres. Que vayamos todos a sentir una profunda apreciación por la gran bendición que es la maternidad, no sólo cuando celebremos el Día de las Madres, sino ¡todos los días! Nuestra cultura de muerte nos mina a la maternidad y al Dios dado obsequio y bendición que son los niños. Que vayamos también a ayudar a la próxima generación a reclamar y a respetar este increíble obsequio que es ¡LA MATERNIDAD!
