A MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Holy Apostles Parish Family,
This next week we have our 8th grade
Montini graduation . This is the month when
people graduate from high school and college.
Congratulations to all of our graduates! It is
always good to see our talented young people
move to the next level or find the pie place in
this world.
At the end of this month we will be welcoming a seminarian who will be with us for the
next year, Aaron Downing. He just graduated
from St. John Vianney, in St. Paul, Minnesota.
We are pleased to have Aaron join us. We will
fill "the frat house" with four guys until Fr. Tim
moves to St. Peter & Paul in Cary on June 20.
It will be great for our young people to be
around Aaron this year and for the rest of us
to give him some practical experience heading
into seminary. You have all been so good to our
seminarians and priests who come to us for a
year or six months. Thank you for what you do
to support our vocations.
I am going on my annual priest retreat this
week knowing that Holy Apostles is in good
hands with Fr Rubén and Fr. Tim.
Have a Blessed Week!
Fr. Paul
WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS FOR:
All the homeless, the unemployed, the military, the addicted, the
grieving, the imprisoned, and the physically and emotionally ill.

Monday:
Let us pray that the flame of the Spirit
will descend upon us.
Father in heaven,
fifty days have celebrated
the fullness of the mystery of your revealed
love.
See your people gathered in prayer,
open to receive the Spirit's flame.
May it come to rest in our hearts
and disperse the divisions of word and tongue.
With one voice and one song
may we praise your name in joy and
thanksgiving.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Domingo de Pentecostes
. Gustaría Conocer a Dios Personalmente?
Te
Los siguientes cuatro principios te ayudarán a descubrir
cómo conocer a Dios personalmente y cómo experimentar la vida abundante que Él prometió.
1. Dios te ama y te creó para conocerlo personalmente y
experimentar Su amor.
(Las referencias deberán ser leídas preferentemente en
la Biblia, siempre que sea posible.)
Dios ofrece amor “Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo, que
dio a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo el que cree en él
no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna.” (Juan 3:16)
Dios ofrece vida “Y ésta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien
tú has enviado.” (Juan 17:3)¿Qué nos impide conocer a
Dios personalmente?
2. El hombre es pecador y está separado de Dios, por lo
tanto no puede conocerlo personalmente ni experimentar su amor.
El hombre es pecador
“Todos han pecado y están privados de la gloria de Dios...” (Romanos 3:23) El hombre fue creado para tener
compañerismo con Dios; pero debido a su voluntad terca
y egoísta, escogió su propio camino y su relación con Dios se interrumpió. Esta voluntad egoísta, caracterizada
por una actitud de rebelión activa o indiferencia pasiva,
es evidencia de lo que la Biblia llama pecado.
El hombre está separado de Dios
“Porque la paga del pecado es muerte...” [o sea separación espiritual de Dios] (Romanos 6:23)
Dios es santo (libre de toda maldad y perfecto en comportamiento y actitud) y el hombre es pecador (no vive de
acuerdo al propósito para el cual fue creado). Un gran
abismo los separa. La imagen muestra como el hombre
está tratando continuamente de alcanzar a Dios a través
de sus propios esfuerzos, tales como vivir una buena
vida, la filosofía o la religión, pero siempre falla en su
intento. El siguiente principio explica la única manera de
cruzar este abismo.
3. Jesucristo es la única provisión de Dios para el pecado
del hombre. Sólo a través de Él podemos conocer a Dios
personalmente y experimentar Su amor.
Él murió en nuestro lugar
“Pero Dios demuestra su amor por nosotros en esto: en
que cuando todavía éramos pecadores, Cristo murió por
nosotros.” (Romanos 5:8)
Él resucitó de entre los muertos
“Cristo murió por nuestros pecados…fue sepultado…
resucitó al tercer día según las Escrituras…se apareció a
Cefas, y luego a los doce. Después se apareció a más de
quinientos…” (1 Corintios 15:3-6)
Él es el único camino a Dios
“Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida,” le contestó Jesús.
“Nadie llega al Padre sino por mí.” Este diagrama ilustra
que Dios ha cruzado el abismo que nos separa de Él, al
enviar a Su hijo, Jesucristo, a morir en la cruz en nuestro
lugar para pagar la condena por nuestros pecados.

No es suficiente conocer estas verdades…
4. Debemos individualmente recibir a Jesucristo como
Salvador y Señor; sólo así podremos conocer a Dios y experimentar Su amor.
Debemos recibir a Cristo
“Mas a cuantos lo recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios.” (Juan 1:12)
Recibimos a Cristo mediante la fe
“Porque por gracia ustedes han sido salvados mediante la
fe; esto no procede de ustedes, sino que es el regalo de
Dios, no por obras, para que nadie se jacte”
Recibimos a Cristo por medio de una invitación personal
Cristo dice: “Mira que estoy a la puerta y llamo. Si alguno
oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré…” (Apocalipsis 3:20)
El recibir a Cristo significa volverse a Dios, abandonando
nuestra vida egocéntrica (arrepentimiento), confiando en
Cristo para que venga a nuestra vida y perdone nuestros
pecados. De esa manera podrá hacernos la clase de personas que Él quiere que seamos. Tan sólo estar de acuerdo intelectualmente no es suficiente. Ni es suficiente el
tener una experiencia emocional. Se recibe a Cristo por
fe, como un acto de nuestra voluntad.
¿Cuál círculo representa tu vida?
¿Cuál círculo te gustaría que representara tu vida?
A continuación se explica cómo puedes recibir a Cristo:
Puedes recibir a Cristo ahora mismo por fe, mediante la
oración (orar es hablar con Dios).
Dios conoce tu corazón y no tiene tanto interés en tus
palabras, sino más bien en la actitud de tu corazón.
La siguiente oración se sugiere como guía:
“Señor Jesús, te quiero conocer personalmente. Gracias
por morir en la cruz por mis pecados. Te abro la puerta de
mi vida y te recibo como mi Salvador y Señor. Gracias por
perdonar mis pecados y darme vida eterna. Toma el control del trono de mi vida. Hazme la clase de persona que
Tú quieres que yo sea.”
¿Expresa esta oración el deseo de tu corazón?
