“Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in
him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once. My
children, I will be with you only a little while longer. I give you a new commandment:
love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is
how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

From the Pastor • Del Pastor
Dear Friends,
Queridos Amigos:
Last week I promised you a column about
Pope Francis’ new Apostolic Exhortation,
Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love).
La semana pasada les prometí una columna acerca de la nueva
Exhortación Apostólica del Papa Francisco, Amoris Laetitia (La
Alegría del Amor).
I made it my goal to read the entire
document … and life got in the way! I did
notice that, in his introduction, Pope Francis
encouraged us to read the document
carefully and reflect on its message slowly. I do plan to do that
in the future! I have read several commentaries, including one
by Fr. Thomas Reese, S.J., that recommended beginning with
chapter 4, Love In Marriage. I took his advice and would like to
share a brief and practical section from that chapter:
Me propuse el objetivo de leer todo el documento… y la vida
me puso cosas en el camino! Noté que en su introducción, el
Papa Francisco nos anima a leer cuidadosamente el
documento y reflexionar lentamente en su mensaje. Planeo
hacerlo en el futuro! He leído varios comentarios, incluyendo
uno del Padre Thomas Reese, S.J., que recomienda empezar
con el capítulo 4, El Amor en el Matrimonio. Tomé su consejo y
me gustaría compartir una breve y práctica sección de ese
capítulo:
The love of friendship unifies all aspects of marital life and helps
family members to grow constantly. This love must be freely and
generously expressed in words and acts. In the family, “three
words need to be used. I want to repeat this! Three words:
‘Please’, ‘Thank you’, ‘Sorry’. Three essential words!”.
El amor de amistad unifica todos los aspectos de la vida
matrimonial, y ayuda a los miembros de la familia a crecer
constantemente. Este amor debe expresarse libre y
generosamente en palabras y en acciones. En la familia,
“necesitamos usar tres palabras. Quiero repetirlo! Tres
palabras: ‘Por favor’, ‘Gracias’, ‘Perdón’. Tres palabras
esenciales!”.
“In our families when we are not overbearing and ask: ‘May I?’;
in our families when we are not selfish and can say: ‘Thank
you!’; and in our families when someone realizes that he or she
did something wrong and is able to say ‘Sorry!’, our family
experiences peace and joy”.
Let us not be stingy about using these words, but keep
repeating them, day after day. For “certain silences are
oppressive, even at times within families, between husbands
and wives, between parents and children, among siblings”. The
right words, spoken at the right time, daily protect and nurture
love.
All this occurs through a process of constant growth. The very
special form of love that is marriage is called to embody what
Saint Thomas Aquinas said about charity in general. “Charity”,
he says, “by its very nature, has no limit to its increase, for it is a
participation in that infinite charity which is the Holy Spirit. Nor
on the part of the subject can its limit be fixed, because as
charity grows, so too does its capacity for an even greater
increase”. (# 133-134)
Those are words that I can apply to my own family life, and I
hope that they are encouraging for your family as well. May our
love and charity toward those with whom we share our lives
know no bounds.
Fr. Gary Zender
“En nuestra familia, cuando no somos autoritarios y pedimos
‘Por favor’, y cuando en familia no somos egoístas y decimos:
‘Gracias!, y cuando alguien en la familia se da cuenta de que
hizo algo malo y es capaz de decir ‘Perdón’, en nuestra familia
hay paz y alegría”.
No seamos mezquinos al usar esas palabras, más bien
debemos repetirlas día tras día. Porque “ciertos silencios
pesan, aún en las familias, entre esposo y esposa, entre padres
e hijos, y entre hermanos”. Las palabras adecuadas, dichas en
el momento adecuado, protegen y alimentan el amor
diariamente.
Todo esto ocurre a través de un proceso de crecimiento
constante. La forma tan especial de amor que es el matrimonio
está llamada a ser lo que Santo Tomás de Aquino dijo acerca
de la caridad en general. “La caridad”, decía, “por su propia
naturaleza, no tiene límites para su aumento, pues es una
participación en la infinita caridad que es el Espíritu Santo.
Tampoco por parte del sujeto se le pueden fijar límites, porque
a medida que la caridad crece, también aumenta su capacidad
de crecer aún más”. (# 133-134)
Esas son palabras que puedo aplicar a mi propia vida familiar, y
espero que también sirvan para animar a sus familias. Que
nuestro amor y caridad hacia aquellos con quienes
compartimos nuestra vida no conozca límites.

pilgrims can journey during the Jubilee Year. In Seattle, St. James Cathedral has designated its bronze doors, covered in depictions of stories
of God’s mercy, as the church’s Holy Doors.

SATURDAYS, 2-3PM, ST. LOUISE CHAPEL

Jubilee Year of Mercy
FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER—JUBILEE DAY FOR THE YOUTH
This Sunday’s “Youth Jubilee” previews July’s World Youth Day in Krakow. Its theme
from Matthew 5:7, “Blessed are the merciful,” echoes Pope Francis’ warning that “the
practice of mercy is waning in the wider culture.” In countercultural witness, therefore,
“the time has come,” says Francis, “for the Church to take up the joyful call to mercy
once more. It is time to return to the basics and to bear the weaknesses and struggles
of our brothers and sisters.” Jesus affirms the same in today’s Gospel. “As I have loved
you, so you also should love one another” (John 13:34). Francis concludes, “The
Church’s very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful and compassionate love.”
Jesus too asserts, “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love
for one another” (John 13:35). Thus mercy “makes young” the Church, the world, and
everyone. “Mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope” (Misericordiae Vultus, 10).

Prepares (apoyo durante el embarazo
Étnico Fest 2016
DOMINGO DE PENTECOSTÉS,
y la crianza)
Prepares (apoyo durante el embarazo y la crianza) es una iniciativa de
los Obispos Católicos del Estado de
Washington para beneficiar familias
con niños desde el momento de la
concepción hasta el quinto
cumpleaños del niño que están en la necesidad de una cadena
de apoyo saludable. Esta iniciativa es una respuesta compasiva de la comunidad Católica para proporcionar servicios
basados en la parroquia como una manera de apoyar a familias. Prepares proporcionara servicios voluntariados basado en
la parroquia a mujeres embarazadas, padres, y familias con
niños menores de 5 años. Nosotros caminaremos con ellos en
su jornada, apoyándolos con una amplia gama de servicios;
incluyendo necesidades básicas como pañales, formula, y
ropa, ofreciendo mentores, y referencias a servicios comunitarios.
Santa Luisa ofrecerá una
orientación de Prepares el
