JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY Dec. 8, 2015 – Nov. 20, 2016 My thoughts now turn to the Mother of Mercy. May the sweetness of her countenance watch over us in this Holy Year, so that all of us may rediscover the joy of God’s tenderness. No one has penetrated the profound mystery of the incarnation like Mary. Her entire life was patterned after the presence of mercy made flesh. The Mother of the Crucified and Risen One has entered the sanctuary of divine mercy because she participated intimately in the mystery of His love. (S24 ) Merciful Like the Father PAGE 4 Parish Events & News...

Special Saturday Schedule: 8:15am Mass CANCELED 4:15pm Confessions CANCELED 8:00pm Confessions CANCELED One Day Only: Saturday, May 28, 2016 We deeply regret the inconvenience it causes. We hope you will understand and forgive us. On Saturday, May 28th we are pleased and honored to celebrate two Confirma on Masses. We will confirm our teens at a special Mass scheduled for 10:00am and then later, at the regular 5:30pm Mass we will confirm our adults. We are delighted to welcome Bishop Alex Salazar for the celebra on of both Confirma on Masses. Because there is a great deal of work to be done to set up and prepare the church and sanctuary in prepara on for each Mass; and because there will be some noise in all that has to be done we need to cancel the regular confessions along with the regular morning Mass. All will return to normal the Saturday a er Confirma ons. This is a once a year cancela on of the morning Mass & evening confessions. After the evening Mass there will be a photo session in the church with the Bishop and newly confirmed. Next there is a customary gathering of the priests and deacons with the Bishop. As a result we will be unable to cover the 8:00pm confessions. Once more, please note, this is a once a year cancelation of the morning Mass & evening confessions.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Jesus tells the disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:1-11). Psalm — God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47). Second Reading — God seated Jesus at his right hand in the heavens (Ephesians 1:17-23) or Hebrews 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Gospel — As Jesus blessed his disciples he parted from them and was taken up to heaven (Luke 24:46-53). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. CONTINUALLY PRAISING GOD In both the first reading and the Gospel we are told about Christ’s glorious ascension into heaven. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminds us that Christ has been seated at God’s right hand in heaven, above every choir of angels. There might be a temptation to stay at an awed distance from Jesus Christ. However, the tone of today’s readings is far from that temptation. The tone is exultant and the message is urgent. We are to be his witnesses, and the Gospel describes the first witnesses this way: “[W]ith great joy . . . they were continually in the temple praising God” (Luke 24:53). How can we continually praise God? The answer can be found in the second reading, in which Paul prays that God will give us a “Spirit of wisdom and revelation” in order to know Christ clearly (Ephesians 1:17). We cannot stand at a distance. We are to be enlightened and empowered. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Nereus and Achilleus; St. Pancras Friday: Our Lady of Fatima Saturday: St. Matthias TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The Second Vatican Council decreed that the devotional life of the Church should be examined and reformed with an eye towards expressing Easter faith. This encouragement for creativity has deep roots in our tradition, and some attempts at reform show great promise. One of the great treasures in our devotional repertoire is a familiar feature of Lent: the Way of the Cross. The faithful walk a path recalling the events of Christ’s passion, a contemplative experience increasingly enriched these days by scripture and song. There are fourteen stations in the usual configuration, although in recent years, a fifteenth station of the Empty Tomb has been added. Why stop there? Why not develop a similar journey structured on the theme of the appearances of the Risen Lord? Over the last decade, a V ia Lucis, or “Way of Light,” has developed as a companion to the V ia Crucis. It has been celebrated at the Vatican and is catching on elsewhere. There are fourteen stations, beginning with the Women Carrying Spices to the Tomb, continuing with the familiar appearances of the Lord at Emmaus, the Upper Room, the shore of Tiberias. The journey ends with stations recalling the apostles’ wait with Mary for the advent of the Spirit, and with Pentecost. This is fertile ground indeed for the genius of artists, musicians, preachers, and liturgists. This is a living example of how many of our traditions are born to fill a great spiritual need, and spread to every corner of the Church. It may even come soon to a church near you. Maybe next Eastertime! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Know the signs of human trafficking Human trafficking claims many young victims every year, and often, we see these victims in our daily lives. It is important to recognize the signs of abuse and to know how to interact with possible victims. The best way to start a tough conversation with teens who may be at risk is simply to talk to them—ask what’s going on in their lives, and if they are okay. Signs of abuse include suspicious or inexplicable injuries, avoidance, or reliance on an older “friend.” For more information please visit http://www.missingkids.org/1in5.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Jesús les dice a los discípulos que recibirán el poder del Espíritu Santo (Hch 1:1-11). Salmo — Entre voces de júbilo, Dios asciende a su trono (Salmo 47 [46]). Segunda lectura — Que el Padre de la gloria del Espíritu de sabiduría y revelación (Efesios 1:17-23) o Hebreos 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Evangelio — Los discípulos fueron testigos de todos los sucesos de la vida de Cristo. (Lucas 24:46-53). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario I © 1976, Comisión Episcopal de Pastoral Litúrgica de la Conferencia del Episcopado Mexicano. Usado con permiso. Todos los derechos reservados. CONTINUAMENTE ALABANDO A DIOS Tanto la primera lectura como el Evangelio nos cuentan la gloriosa Ascensión de Cristo al cielo. La carta de san Pablo a los efesios nos recuerda que Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios en el cielo, por encima de todos los coros de ángeles. Puede que tengamos la tentación de mantenernos a reverencial distancia de Jesucristo. Sin embargo, el tono de las lecturas de hoy dista mucho de esa tentación. El tono es exuberante y el mensaje es urgente. Hemos de ser sus testigos, y el Evangelio describe a los primeros testigos de esta manera: “Muy alegres. . . permanecían constantemente en el templo alabando a Dios” (Lucas 24:53). ¿Cómo podemos alabar a Dios continuamente? La respuesta se encuentra en la segunda lectura, en la cual Pablo pide a Dios que nos conceda un “espíritu de sabiduría y de reflexión” para conocer a Cristo claramente (Efesios 1:17). No podemos mantenernos a distancia. Vamos a ser iluminados y fortalecidos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

La historia del Día de las Madres se originó en las fiestas griegas en honor de Rhea, la madre de los dioses. A lo largo de la historia los cristianos también hemos recordado a la Madre de Dios, María, en varias solemnidades, pero hace sólo 100 años que en el 10 de mayo de 1907 en Estados Unidos se empezó a promover la idea de un día de reconocimiento del amor que tenemos como humanos por nuestras propias madres. Eventualmente se paso a muchas naciones latinoamericanas. Muchas culturas latinoamericanas son matriarcales, es decir, el papel de la madre en la familia es algo esencial. Para los latinos, no hay amor más grande que el de una madre. Sin olvidar la función del padre, ella es la que nos da la vida, nos enseña como vivirla y nos da alimento. Su amor nos recuerda al de Cristo, quien con sacrificio y amor da vida a la Iglesia. Su amor sostiene y cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles emocionalmente, nuestro deseo secreto es de estar en los brazos de mamá. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

"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. Clases en Español empiezan en Febrero para adultos (18 años +) interesados de recibir el sacramento de Confirmación. Infórmate hoy!
