May 3, 2015 Fifth Sunday of Easter
BEARING FRUIT
“Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” John’s words come to us on this day when the
Gospel passage presents us with the great image of the vine and the branches. Jesus uses the image as a warning to those
who have begun to distance themselves from the way of the Lord. One of the ways this happens is when we love God
and others “in word or speech” instead of “in deed and truth.” What does it mean for us to “remain in Christ”? In an extension of the metaphor, the Lord gives us an example. If we remain in him, we will bear much fruit. As the branches,
we draw strength from Christ who is the vine. This strength enables us to bear fruit—to do the work of true discipleship.

PARA DAR FRUTO
“Hijos míos: No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras”. Las palabras de Juan nos llegan hoy cuando el pasaje del Evangelio nos presenta con la gran imagen del viñedo y las ramas. Jesús usa la imagen
como un aviso a los que se han empezado a distanciar de la senda del Señor. Esto sucede cuando amamos a Dios y a
otros “con palabras o dichos” y no con “la verdad y las obras”. ¿Qué significa para nosotros “permanecer en Cristo”? El Señor nos da un ejemplo con la extensión de la metáfora. Si permanecemos en él, daremos mucho fruto. Como
ramas sacamos la fuerza de Cristo que es la viña. Esa fuerza nos facilita dar fruto –hacer el trabajo de los verdaderos
discípulos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Bernabé explica a los discípulos en Jerusalén la conversión de Pablo (Hechos 9:26-31).
Salmo — Bendito sea el Señor. Aleluya (Salmo 22 [21]).
Segunda lectura — Dios nos ordena que creamos en el nombre de Jesucristo y que nos amemos como él nos ama
(1 Juan 3:18-24).
Evangelio — Los que viven en Jesús y Jesús vive en ellos producen mucho fruto (Juan 15:1-8).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Over time, the crisis of last illness and the way the
faithful met death changed. In earliest times, a sickbed
vigil was an occasion for the community to gather and
strengthen the dying person with assurances of love. A
thousand years ago, in part because of massive upheavals
in society, a new emphasis on individual repentance captured the imagination of millions. Death was to be feared,
because it was about judgment. The delights of heaven’s
banquet dimmed, since most people saw God’s just judgment and inevitable punishment intervening. If a community gathered at all, it was not to express faith in the Resurrection, but to seek forgiveness for those who were
powerless to help themselves. The dead couldn’t improve
their situation, but their loved ones, by expressing sorrow
for sin, could. Better yet, the clergy could, if they intervened in a timely fashion, provide the absolution needed
for everyone to relax. Ministry to the sick shifted away
from a ministry of consolation toward a challenge to repent before it was too late.
As the sense grew that most people died with their
work of repentance incomplete, the color black was reintroduced to funerals. It was the old pagan way of expressing despair. No wonder they call this time in history the
“Dark Ages.” Many layers have had to be peeled away to
reveal the deepest, most positive expressions of our tradition of care for the dying.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Durante la Última Cena, Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles:
“Yo soy la vid, ustedes son los sarmientos” (Juan 15:5).
Jesús añade que los sarmientos (ramas) que permanecen
en él, dan mucho fruto. Según la agricultura, la vid es una
parra, es decir, una planta perenne de ramas frondosas.
Una parte importante de la vid son las hojas. Es obvio que una vid tiene hojas, pero Jesús no las menciona,
prefiere enfocarse en los sarmientos. Las partes de la vid
son las raíces, tronco, sarmientos, hojas, flores y fruto.
Según esta división Jesús sería el tronco, pero él dice ser
la vid completa. Esta es una imagen de la unidad que Jesús quiere entre sus seguidores. Recordemos que Jesús
celebra la Última Cena con sus discípulos. La comunidad
de discípulos unidos a Jesús formamos la vid. Los sarmientos o ramas conducen agua y minerales a las hojas,
flores y frutos, y son útiles en tanto estén unidos a la vid.
Lo mismo vale de los cristianos, discípulos de Jesús. Son
ellos y ellas los que hacen presente y le dan vida a Jesús
en el mundo de hoy.

May 10, 2015 Sixth Sunday of Easter
LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Last Sunday we heard the familiar passage from John’s Gospel in which Jesus uses the metaphor of the vine and the
branches. In that passage we were told that if we remained in Christ we would bear much fruit. Today’s Gospel tells us
just what that fruit is: love. Today’s second reading and Gospel together create a great hymn to love. The chorus of this
hymn is simple—God loves us so much that Jesus was sent into the world so that we would have life. The Lord Jesus,
who last week told us to remain in him, this week tells us to remain in his love. In a world marked by division and terrorism, the Lord’s final words in today’s Gospel are a great challenge: “This I command you: love one another.”
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles also (Acts 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48).
Psalm — The Lord has revealed to the nations his saving power (Psalm 98).
Second Reading — God is love (1 John 4:7-10) or 1 John 4:11-16.
Gospel — No one has greater love than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends (John 15:9-17) or
John 17:11b-19.

ÁMENSE UNOS A OTROS
El domingo pasado escuchamos el familiar pasaje del Evangelio de san Juan en el que Jesús usa el símbolo de la
viña y las ramas. En ese pasaje escuchamos que si permanecemos en Cristo daremos mucho fruto. El Evangelio de hoy
nos dice cuál es ese fruto: el amor. La segunda lectura de hoy junto con el Evangelio crean un gran himno de amor. El
coro de este himno es sencillo –Dios nos ama tanto que envió a Jesús al mundo para que tuviéramos vida. El Señor Jesús que nos dijo la semana pasada que permaneciéramos en él, esta semana nos dice que permanezcamos en su amor.
En un mundo marcado por las divisiones y el terrorismo, las últimas palabras del Evangelio de hoy son un gran reto:
“Esto es lo que les mando: que se amen los unos a los otros”.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Mediante las prédicas de Pedro, el Espíritu Santo viene a los gentiles
(Hechos 10:25-26, 34-35, 44-48).
Salmo — El Señor nos ha mostrado su amor y su lealtad. Aleluya (Salmo 98 (97)).
Segunda lectura — Dios es amor y Dios nos ama (1 Juan 4:7-10) o 1 Juan 4:11-16.
Evangelio — Jesús da este mandamiento a sus discípulos: ámense unos a otros como yo los he amado (Juan 15:9-17) o
Juan 17:11b-19.

A Prayer for Mothers
All loving God, we give you thanks and
praise for mothers young and old.
We pray for young mothers, who give life
and count toes and tend to our every need.
May they be blessed with patience and tenderness to care for their families and
themselves with great joy.
We pray for our own mothers who have
nurtured and cared for us; May they
continue to guide in
strong and gentle ways.
We remember mothers who are separated
from their children because of war, poverty or conﬂict; May they feel the loving
embrace of our God who wipes
every tear away.
We pray for women who are not mothers
but still love and shape us with motherly
care and compassion.
We remember mothers, grandmothers and
great grandmothers who are no longer with
us but who live forever in our memory
and nourish us with their love. Amen.

With June not far off, attention in the parish turns to
the celebration of weddings. Perhaps no other area of parish life is more shaped or challenged by the expectations
of our culture. An old Irish proverb, “Marry in Lent and
you’re soon to repent,” is amplified by another warning:
“Marry in May and rue the day!” Memories of old pagan
parties in May endured, and the Irish felt wedding receptions in May would be a stress on community morals.
Queen Victoria did not approve of May weddings either,
and her influence is still felt on family calendars, as is her
daughter’s introduction of the white wedding gown.
Sometimes we mistake customs and curiosities for tradition. Tradition with a capital “T” has to do with Christ’s
miraculous rescue of the wedding feast at Cana, his affirmation of a man and woman pledging lifelong fidelity at
the heart of a community’s feast. The Church cherished
that memory over time, but it took a millennium for us to
think of marriage as a sacrament. Much of the rest of
what we associate with weddings has to do with culture,
customs, and family practices. A wise rabbi once said
that “tradition is not wearing your father’s hat; tradition is
having a child.” Don’t let Queen Victoria reign over your
wedding plans!
DEEP DEBT
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw.
All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in
life to the moral, intellectual, and physical education I
received from her.
—George Washington
Gracias a los grupos, asociaciones y movimientos
tenemos muchos movimientos evangélizadores dentro de
la Iglesia católica. Movimientos como Cursillos de Cristiandad, Talleres de Oración, S.I.N.E., la Renovación Carismática, Espiritualidad de la Cruz, Jornadas de Vida
Cristiana, que dependen de himnos religiosos o de un
canto lema para ir formando una conciencia cristiana en
sus miembros o seguidores. Esta formación se basa en
una relación íntima y emocional entre Jesús y sus seguidores.
Un himno carismático dice así: “Yo tengo un amigo
que me ama”, y otro de ellos dice: “Él es mi amigo Jesús,
él es Dios, él es rey, es amor y verdad”. Estos dos himnos
de autor desconocido, enfatizan lo bello que es tener una
relación íntima con el Señor, mejor dicho, con nuestro
amigo Jesús. Jesús mismo enfatiza este tipo de relación
cuando dice: “No los llamo ya siervos... a ustedes los he
llamado amigos” (Juan 15:15).
Toda amistad se basa en una mutua atracción, simpatía y reciprocidad. Jesús dice que somos sus amigos 1)
cuando hacemos lo que nos manda y 2) porque nos enseña lo que recibe de su Padre. La amistad con Jesús, es
más que una emoción, se basa en el compromiso y la perseverancia.

May 17, 2015 The Ascension of the Lord
PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL
Today we celebrate one of the tenets of our creed: that the Lord ascended into heaven. From Mark’s Gospel we hear
the final words Jesus spoke to his disciples shortly before he ascended into heaven. Those were words of commissioning, no less real for us today than they were to the disciples then. We are called to “proclaim the gospel to every creature.” For the vast majority of us, this means that we proclaim the gospel by the witness of our everyday lives. Treating
others with dignity and respect, providing for those less fortunate than ourselves, being good stewards of the many gifts

NUESTRA ORACIÓN POR LA UNIDAD
El domingo pasado escuchamos las últimas palabras pronunciadas por Jesús antes de su ascensión a los cielos que
nos recuenta san Marcos. Hoy escuchamos porciones de lo que se conoce como “el último discurso” de Jesús en el Evangelio de san Juan. Una vez más, las palabras del Señor contienen el encargo a los discípulos para que sean servidores del
mundo. Parte importante del discurso es la oración de Jesús por la unidad: “Padre santo, cuida en tu nombre a los que me
has dado, para que sean uno, como nosotros”. Con el fin del Tiempo de Pascua, un tiempo que nos ha llevado a profundizar nuestra comprensión del misterio de la Pascua, es apropiado que escuchemos hoy esta oración por la unidad que debe
haber entre los seguidores del Señor. Celebremos la unidad de la que gozamos con otros cristianos y trabajemos juntos
para atender a la gran misión de llevar la Buena Nueva a nuestro agobiado mundo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Surprisingly, the church moved very slowly in claiming marriage as a focus of attention and care. Nearly everywhere in the Roman world, citizens agreed on how to
celebrate marriage. Consent of the man and woman is
what made a marriage valid in the eyes of the law, and
although there was a traditional ceremony, it was
home based and optional. The ceremony was for showing the social status of the families involved (the procession ideally detoured through crowds), and for reminding
the woman of her legal transfer from her father’s control
to her husband’s. The “big moment” of the ceremony had
nothing to do with vows, but with the bride’s donning the
yellow veil with red highlights that was the daily wear of
married women. A wedding feast included soothsayers
and animal sacrifice to the new household’s gods. Christians found that distasteful, of course, but since marriage
was a family matter, they could edit things out. The
church was comfortable with this, and sometimes recommended that the couple seek the advice of the bishop. His
permission was only required for the marriage of a cleric,
or for a marriage Rome didn’t recognize, such as between
a free woman and a slave. There was no blessing, no liturgy, no priest. Christians followed the customs of the day,
but they knew that custom and relationships were transformed from within themselves by the fact of their baptism. Outwardly, Christians married exactly as their pagan
neighbors, but they certainly invested the usual gestures
with a dynamic sense of Christ’s presence.

"We do not come to church to attend the service as a
spectator, but in order, along with the priest, to serve
God. Everything we do—our entering, being present, our
kneeling and sitting and standing, our reception of the
sacred nourishment—should be divine service. This is so
only when all we do overflows from the awareness of a
collected heart and the mind’s attentiveness."
— Fr. Romano Guardini,

Después de los eventos del Viernes Santo los discípulos
se encerraron en el Cenáculo porque tenían mucho miedo.
Estaban precisamente ahí, donde habían celebrado la Última Cena con Jesús. Según los relatos que nos presentan los
evangelios, Jesús se les aparecería en ese mismo lugar. De
hecho, cuarenta días después de su muerte, Jesús ascendió
al cielo. Luego de que Jesús ascendiera al cielo, los discípulos se quedaron atónitos viendo hacia arriba. El famoso
“Himno a la alegría” nos invita a ver “más allá de las estrellas”. Sin embargo, los ángeles le dicen a los seguidores de
Cristo que dejen de ver las nubes y se pongan a trabajar
(Hechos 1:11).
Al regresar a su Padre, Jesucristo envió su Espíritu sobre la comunidad cristiana primitiva haciéndolos testigos de
su resurrección. De esta manera dieron inicio a la canción
que dice: “Que esperan un nuevo día”, y esperando van
cantado el mensaje de aquel que estando en el cielo puede
vivir en el corazón de los que le aman.

May 24, 2015 Pentecost Sunday
Dear sisters and brothers of Holy Family,
"If we live in the Spirit let us also follow the Spirit" (Galatians 5, 25). On this
Pentecost Sunday as we celebrate the giving of the Holy Spirit by the risen Jesus
to His disciples We are reminded about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the divine
life in us.
We all received the gift of the Holy Spirit in our baptism and strengthened with the gifts of
the Holy Spirit in our confirmation. When we live the wondrous mystery of the Spirit dwelling
in us we will produce the fruits of the Holy Spirit. "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, pa
tience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self control" (Galatians 5, 22-23). "We cannot
love another if we do not give of ourselves to others. We cannot have joy if we are turned in on our
selves, we cannot have peace if we are distracted by getting and doing only what we want. We cannot
have patience if we do not respect the dignity of others. We cannot have gentleness if we do not see the need
in others. We cannot have self control if we don't put the good of others first" (Living Liturgy year B- 2015,
P.138). Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to guide us in our ways, "come Holy Spirit, make our ears to hear, make
our eyes to see, make our mouths to speak, make our hearts to reach out and touch the world with love.
Amen" (Cardinal Newman's little favorite prayer).
On behalf of our parish family I express our heartfelt thanks to Anne Carney for her amazing and fabulous service as Liturgy coordinator for the last four years as she expressed her desire to spend more family time and
concentrate more on the library and gift shop ministry, scripture study adult catechesis. We owe a huge thanks
for her hard work especially when we moved our church to parish hall and moved back to the newly remodeled church. We hope and pray that she will continue to help us with her knowledge and expertise in Liturgy.
We collected $33,655 for our Lenten collection this year to finish the second phase repair of the Confirmation
and The Eucharist (Alpha & Omega) window. I thank you for your great sacrifice and generosity in responding to the need of our parish family. I thank also in a very special way all those who work hard in all our special fundraising projects to reduce our debt especially the golf committee, Filipino group (Sock hop dance)
Guadalupe Society (Cinco de mayo dance, cash for clothes), Anne Carney and gift shop stewards, Georgina
Romero and the Hispanic ministry (breakfast and food sale), Choir members (Concert), Gospel choir (Mr. &
Miss Holy Family pageant). May the good Lord bless you and the Holy Spirit guide you and strengthen you in
all your endeavors!
Wishing you all the blessing of the Pentecost,
Fr. Sunny.
24 de Mayo 2015 Domingo de Pentecostes
Hermanos y hermanas de Holy Family,
“Si ahora vivimos según el Espíritu, dejémonos guiar por el Espíritu” (Gal 5:25).
En este domingo de Pentecostés, al celebrar el día en que se entregó el Espíritu por
medio de Jesús Resucitado a Sus discípulos; se nos recuerda del hogar en nosotros del
Espíritu Santo, la vida Divina en nosotros.
Todos recibimos el regalo del Espíritu Santo por medio de nuestro bautismo y reforzado por
los regalos del Espíritu Santo durante nuestra Confirmación. Cuando vivimos el maravilloso miste
rio del Espíritu vi viendo en nosotros, podremos producir los frutos del Espíritu Santo. El fruto del Es
píritu es caridad, alegría, paz, comprensión de los demás, generosidad, bondad, fidelidad, mansedum
bre y dominio de sí mismo… (Gal 5:22-23). Nosotros no podemos amar a alguien más si no damos parte
de nosotros a otros. No podremos tener alegría si no compartimos con otros, No podremos tener paz si nos
distraemos y solamente hacemos lo que nos interesa. No podremos tener paciencia di no respetamos la dignidad de otros. No podremos ser bondadosos si no podemos verlas necesidades de otros. No podremos tener
mansedumbre si no ponemos al frente las necesidades y bienestar de otros. (Parte de la Liturgia Viva del Año
B, 2015, Pg.138). Oremos al Espíritu Santo para que nos guíe nuestros caminos, “Ven Espíritu Santo, has que
nuestros oídos escuchen, has que nuestros ojos vean, has que nuestras bocas hablen, has que nuestro corazón
se extiendan al mundo con amor. Amen (oración favorita del Cardenal Newman)
En nombre de la familia parroquial, expreso mi agradecimiento de todo corazón a Anne Carney por su maravilloso y fabuloso servicio como coordinadora de la Liturgia los últimos cuatro años. Ella ha expresado su
deseo de pasar más tiempo con su familia y concentrarse más en la administración de la biblioteca y tienda de
regalos y catequesis para adultos. Le debo una nota grande de agradecimiento por el arduo trabajo que ella y
todos en su equipo hicieron al mover el templo al Centro Parroquial y al regreso al remodelado Templo. Espero y oro que ella continúe ayudándonos con su experiencia y conocimiento en la Liturgia.
Colectamos un total de $33,655 en el Proyecto de Cuaresma año para finalizar con la segunda fase de reparación del ventanal de la Confirmación y la Eucaristía (Alfa y Omega). Yo les agradezco por su gran sacrificio y generosidad al responder a la necesidad de la familia parroquial. También de una manera especial
agradezco a todas esas personas que trabajan arduamente en todos esos proyectos especiales para recaudar
fondos destinados a reducir la deuda, especialmente al comité del golf, Grupo Filipino (Baile Sock Hop), Sociedad Guadalupana (Baile del Cinco de Mayo y Colecta de Ropa), Anne Carney y los trabajadores de la Biblioteca/ Tienda de Regalos), Georgina Romero y el Ministerio Hispano (Venta de Comida), Coro
(Concierto), Coro Espiritual (Rey y Reina de Holy Family), Que el Buen Señor los bendiga y el Espíritu Santo
los guíe y refuerce en todos los trabajos.
Deseando a todos muchas bendiciones del Pentecostés,
Fr. Sunny.

Pope Frances said, “A good Catholic doesn’t meddle in
politics. ‘That’s not true. That is not a good path. A
good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of
himself - so that those who govern can govern. But what
is the best that we can offer to those who govern?
Prayer!”
We thank all members of Holy Family who have recently run for elected positions and we congratulate
those who won their races. May all continue to evangelize the Word of Christ through thoughtful and just
governance.

The Most Holy Trinity
THE TRINITY IS LOVE
Theologians throughout the Christian centuries have spilled much ink (and, on occasion, some blood) in describing
and defining the mystery of the Holy Trinity. One of the earliest, most poetic, and beautiful descriptions comes from St.
Augustine in De Trinitas, wherein he describes the Trinity as One (the Father) who loves, One (the Son) who is loved,
and One (the Spirit) who is love. And these three Ones are also one Three.
It might be wisest for us to leave the technical wranglings to the academic theologians, and focus on the fact that the
three Persons of the Trinity are indeed persons; they are best known and understood in their love for each other and for
us. We are made in the image of those loving persons, and our best relationships are lived out in the context of love. Truly loving relationships are inexhaustible mysteries to be lived in joy. If this is true of our human relationships, how much
more so is it true of our relationship with the Trinity. And how much more does it call upon us to be joyful, loving witnesses of the holy mystery of the One in Three. This is the mystery to which we were called when we were chosen to be
God’s own, baptized with water in the name of the Holy Trinity. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The Lord is God in the heavens above and on earth below (Deuteronomy 4:32-34, 39-40).
Psalm — Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own (Psalm 33).
Second Reading — You received a Spirit of adoption, through whom we cry, “Abba, Father!” (Romans 8:14-17)
Gospel — Baptize them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:16-20).

LA TRINIDAD DE AMOR
Una de las más antiguas, más poéticas y más hermosas descripciones de la Santísima Trinidad se halla en le libro
De Trinitate, por san Agustín. Allí, el santo describe a la Trinidad como Uno que ama (el Padre), Uno que es amado (el
Hijo) y Uno que es el amor (el Espíritu Santo). Y esos tres Unos suman Uno solo.
Tal vez lo mejor para nosotros sea dejar las dificultades técnicas de este misterio a los teólogos profesionales, y
enfocarnos en el hecho que las tres Personas de la Santísima Trinidad son precisamente personas; se les conoce y se les
comprende en su amor mutuo y en su amor hacia nosotros. Hemos sido creados a imagen y semejanza de esas tres Personas
amorosas, y nuestras mejores relaciones se viven en el contexto del amor. Las relaciones verdaderamente amorosas son
misterios inagotables que se expresan en una profunda felicidad. Y si esto es así en nuestras relaciones humanas, ¡cuánto más
lo será en nuestra relación con la Santísima Trinidad! Y, ¡cuánto más somos llamados a dar un testimonio alegre y amoroso
de este sagrado misterio de los Tres que son Uno! Este es el misterio que fuimos llamados a vivir cuando fuimos escogidos
como hijos de Dios, bautizados en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — El Señor es Dios en los cielos y en la tierra, y no hay otro (Deuteronomio 4:32-34, 39-40).
Salmo — Dichoso el pueblo escogido por Dios (Salmo 33 [32]).
Segunda lectura — Somos hijos de Dios, herederos también; herederos de Dios (Romanos 8:14-17).
Evangelio — Jesús les dice a sus discípulos que vayan y hagan discípulos de todas las naciones (Mateo 28:16-20).
Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion News...If
you are not serving as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy
Communion, Holy Family Parish needs your service! We
are in need of approximately 20 new extraordinary ministers. The procedure is simple. Call the parish office and
make an appointment to meet with a priest or deacon for
approval to become an extraordinary minister. Then attend a two-hour training session with many other happy
people. Finally, you will be scheduled to serve or you
may volunteer to serve at any Holy Family Mass.
All current Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion: Next Sunday, June 7, is the Solemnity of the
Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. All EMHCs will
be blessed at the end of each Mass and receive a small
gift. This is “thanks” from a grateful parish for all you do
to serve Holy Family.

There are plenty of “treasures” in our tradition that if
resurrected today would cause anxious moments for bishops! Many concern marriage. There was a time when the
church “consecrated” both virgins dedicated to prayer
and charity, and brides dedicated to husband and family.
Virgins were blessed in the sanctuary of the church, and
brides in the sanctuary of the home. The custom of blessing the bride in the marriage chamber was standard in
England, Ireland, Spain, and France until the eleventh
century.
If the groom (the groom’s side planned the wedding)
chose from the full menu of liturgy, there would be a
blessing of the bridal room, solemn evening prayer on the
eve and morning prayer on the day of the wedding, a
blessing at the church door of the spouses, and then in the
church for the wife alone during Mass, and Communion.
After the feast, a priest would represent the bride’s father
in presiding over the legal process by which the bride
transferred from her father’s clan to her husband’s. Some
enduring customs hearken back to these days when marriage was seen as a contract between men (the bride’s
father and the groom) and was not so much about living
out one’s baptismal call, and certainly not about the
equality of the spouses in Christ. Happily, this baptismal
focus has been restored and unhelpful customs set aside
by today’s marriage rite.
A Day of Healing and Hope with Immaculee Ilibigiza
at the Catholic Charismatic Center on Saturday, July 25th,
9:00 am until 5:00 pm. The Day will include Immaculee’s witness of the power of prayer, miracles of the Rosary and inspirational music. Ms. Ilibigiza’s testimony is
a remarkable one of faith and forgiveness amid unspeakable tragedy. The key to her message is her personal devotion to Our Lady of Kibeho, Vatican approved Marian
apparition, who appeared to warn the people of Rwanda
of the “rivers of blood” to come.
Preregistration is required, please visit www.cccgh.com.
Or call Ann Martinez, 713-236-9977 ext 16. The Catholic Charismatic Center is located at 1949 Cullen Blvd,
Houston, TX 77023.
Immaculee’s promise: “No one will leave this retreat the
same as when they came.”
Marcos, Mateo y Lucas nos relatan los eventos de la
Ascensión de Cristo al cielo. En estas narraciones Jesús
envía a “los Once y los que estaban con ellos” (Lucas
24:33), es decir, a todos los discípulos. La misión que
Jesús nos confía es de ser sus testigos y llevar la Buena
Nueva del perdón de los pecados desde Jerusalén a todas
las naciones y a toda la creación. Esta predicación debe
ir acompañada del Bautismo, para que así, las personas
que escuchen el mensaje tengan la oportunidad de
aceptar en su vida al Señor Jesús.
Por su parte, Jesús envía a los discípulos a bautizar a
todas las personas en el nombre de la Santísima Trinidad.
Es Dios entero, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo actuando en
la vida de toda persona bautizada, así como en la
persona misionera. Hoy día estos misioneros son los
papás y mamás que traen sus niños para ser bautizados.
A ellos Jesús les exige: “Enseñen [a sus hijos e hijas] a
cumplir todo lo que yo les he mandado” (Mateo 28:19).
También les promete su ayuda diciendo: “Y yo estoy con
ustedes hasta el fin del mundo” (Mateo 28:20).
Important Notice: Help us keep our pews clean! If
