The Church makes herself a servant of this love and mediates it to all people: a love that forgives and expresses itself in the gift of oneself. Consequently, wherever the Church is present, the mercy of the Father must be evident . (S12) Merciful Like the Father PAGE 4 Parish Events & News... PRAYER AND LIFE WORKSHOPS Would you like to have a more meaningful prayer life? Come join a special class for learning how to pray. By seeking God in prayer, you will find your life changing for the better. The Prayer and Life Workshop consists of 15 weekly sessions that provide a carefully structured school for learning the art of prayer. You will learn and practice different ways to pray and you will become very familiar with the Bible because you will use it every day for 15 weeks during your private time for prayer and meditation. Come to see for yourself what it’s all about. The sessions are on Monday evenings, at Sacred Heart Church, in the Chapel of the parish center, from 6:15 to 8:15pm.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Paul and Barnabas continue their travels, spreading the faith and unifying the churches (Acts 14:21-27). Psalm — I will praise your name for ever, my king and my God (Psalm 145). Second Reading — John’s vision of God dwelling with the human race (Revelation 21:1-5a). Gospel — As Jesus has loved us, so we must love one another (John 13:31-33a, 34-35).

TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY Can you imagine a world such as the one put before us in today’s scripture readings? Communities of believers everywhere would support and encourage one another and be identified as Christians by the way they love each other. It would be a world with no tears, no death and mourning, no crying out in pain. “Behold, I make all things new,” we hear the Son of God say in the second reading from the book of Revelation (21:5). Is this world of John’s vision only imaginary? Are these faithful followers for whom Jesus prayed only a savior’s dream? Today they are put before us as a worthy goal. How much closer can we come to this vision of a true Christian community in our lives today? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 1 Pt 5:5b-14; Ps 89:2-3, 6-7, 16-17; Mk 16:15-20 Tuesday: Acts 14:19-28; Ps 145:10-13ab, 21; Jn 14:27-31a Wednesday: Acts 15:1-6; Ps 122:1-5; Jn 15:1-8 Thursday: Acts 15:7-21; Ps 96:1-3, 10; Jn 15:9-11 Friday: Acts 15:22-31; Ps 57:8-10, 12; Jn 15:12-17 Saturday: Acts 16:1-10; Ps 100:1b-3, 5; Jn 15:18-21 Sunday: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29; Ps 67:2-3, 5-6, 8; Rv 21:10-14, 22-23; Jn 14:23-29 SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Fifth Sunday of Easter; Julian Calendar Palm Sunday Monday: St. Mark Wednesday: Administrative Professionals Day Thursday: St. Peter Chanel; TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The French Revolution swept the church in France away in an astonishing way, stripping the nation of every possible vestige of the faith, not merely shuttering churches, but using them as staging areas for pagan raves and romps. While millions of faithful simply went underground and hung on for the ride, even the seven-day week was demolished along with the names of the months. What emerged from the chaos was the Napoleonic Code of 1792 governing church life, and therefore marriage law in France, French Canada, and elsewhere. The code makes civil marriage mandatory for all citizens. In practice, when the faithful marry, they go first to the City Hall. There, the mayor performs the civil marriage, usually accompanied by a patriotic speech about the duties of the citizen, particularly in the rearing of children. Then, typically after a lunch, everyone goes off to change into more festive attire for the wedding liturgy, featuring consent, the exchange of rings, and the nuptial blessing. Sadly, only a minority of citizens today celebrate even the civil form of the rite, and a fraction of those continue on to the church. For those who do celebrate the liturgy of marriage, however, there is near certainty that the spouses are active worshipers, and that they will later present their children for baptism. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. PAGE 7 Parish News cont: Sacred Heart Church Bible Study Sacred Heart Church has begun a 24 week bible study program in Cavanaugh Hall.

DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR DO NOT LEAVE IN PEW Dear Friends, We are blessed to live in a beautiful community and our two local cities of Covina and West Covina are safe neighborhoods with little crime and good neighbors. However there are always a few problems; because of that sad reality I must remind you to: Please NEVER leave any valuables visible in your car and NEVER let anyone see you storing them under your seat or in the trunk for example (store them safely out of site before you leave home). And please NEVER leave your purse or any valuables in the pews even when you come up for Communion.

It requires education, training, and action from parents, other adults, organizations, and children. As adults, we need to learn to recognize other adults who are a risk to kids – ours and the others in the community. April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, which gives us all an opportunity to learn more about what the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is doing to prevent child sexual abuse from happening.

Segunda lectura — Juan tiene una visión de Dios morando con la raza humana (Apocalipsis 21:1-5a). Evangelio — Al igual que Jesús nos ama, así también nosotros debemos amarnos mutuamente (Juan 13:31-33a, 34-35).

VERDADERA COMUNIDAD CRISTIANA ¿Te puedes imaginar un mundo tal como nos lo presenta las lecturas bíblicas de hoy? Comunidades de fieles por todas partes que se apoyan y se animan unas a otras y se identifican como cristianos por el amor que se tienen unos a otros. Sería un mundo sin lágrimas, sin muerte ni luto, sin gritos de dolor. “Ahora todo lo hago nuevo”, oímos decir al Hijo de Dios en la segunda lectura del libro del Apocalipsis (21:5). Este mundo de la visión de Juan, ¿es sólo un mundo imaginario? Y esos fieles seguidores de Jesús por los cuales él reza, ¿son un mero sueño del salvador? Hoy se presentan ante nosotros como una meta valiosa. ¿Cómo podemos acercarnos cada vez más a esta visión de una verdadera comunidad cristiana en nuestra vida de hoy? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Pe 5:5b-14; Sal 89 (88):2-3, 6-7, 16-17; Mc 16:15-20 Martes: Hch 14:19-28; Sal 145 (144):10-13ab, 21; Jn 14:27-31a Miércoles: Hch 15:1-6; Sal 122 (121):1-5; Jn 15:1-8 Jueves: Hch 15:7-21; Sal 96 (95):1-3, 10; Jn 15:9-11 Viernes: Hch 15:22-31; Sal 57 (56):8-10, 12; Jn 15:12-17 Sábado: Hch 16:1-10; Sal 100 (99):1b-3, 5; Jn 15:18-21 Domingo: Hch 15:1-2, 22-29; Sal 67 (66):2-3, 5-6, 8; Ap 21:10-14, 22-23; Jn 14:23-29 LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Quinto Domingo de Pascua; Domingo de Ramos en el calendario juliano Lunes: San Marcos Miércoles: Día de los Administradores Profesionales Jueves: San Pedro Chanel; San Luis María Grignon de Monfort Viernes: Santa Catalina de Siena; Día del Árbol; Viernes Santo en el calendario juliano Sábado: San Pío V TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El primero de mayo es reconocido como el día mundial del trabajo y conmemora seis mártires de Chicago, quienes fueron fusilados en 1886 cuando la policía trató de impedir una pelea campal durante una huelga de obreros. Curiosamente esta fecha no es reconocida por Estados Unidos pero sí por muchos países latinoaméricanos. En 1954, el Papa Pió XII apoyó los derechos del obrero incluyendo a san José Obrero en el calendario cristiano. Esta fiesta celebra y recuerda la doctrina social de la Iglesia católica, una doctrina que insiste que: “El mensaje cristiano no aparta a las personas de la edificación del mundo, ni les lleva a despreocuparse del bien de sus semejantes, sino que les impone esta colaboración como un deber” (Gaudiam et Spes 34). Es justo conmemorar a san José como obrero en el día mundial del trabajo, porque este santo varón nos recuerda que al trabajar uno colabora con Dios en la creación continua del mundo y de la humanidad. El trabajo no sólo es derecho humano es una responsabilidad que se debe tomar con amor al prójimo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. PAGE 10 Noticias en Español...

"Con el Bautismo y la Eucaristía, el Sacramento de la Confirmación constituye el conjunto de los ‘sacramentos de la iniciación Cristiana’, cuya unidad debe ser salvaguardada. Es preciso, pues, explicar que la recepción de este sacramento es necesaria para la plenitud de la gracia bautismal. En efecto, a los bautizados, el sacramento de la Confirmación los une más íntimamente a la Iglesia y los enriquece con una fortaleza especial del Espíritu Santo. De esta forma quedamos obligados aún más, como auténticos testigos de Cristo, a extender y defender nuestra fe con sus palabras y sus obras" 1285 Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica.
