A few items of interest from Fr.
Fitzgerald:
Deacon Tom Olson… In four
short weeks, on Saturday, May 21
at 9:00 am Mass at the Cathedral
of the Holy Cross, Deacon Tom
Olson along with eight other men
will be ordained to the Priesthood
of Jesus Christ by Cardinal Sean O’Malley. As you
know, Tom has been assigned to Saint Columbkille
Parish as a seminarian, initially in formation to be a
Jesuit Priest, but for the past two years to be ordained
a Priest for the Archdiocese of Boston. Here at Saint
Columkille’s we have been on Tom’s vocational journey as he has grown in wisdom and Spirit. His ordination is a celebration of faith and perseverance for
himself, his family, and also for the parish. The parish will in a special way be part of that celebration as
Tom has chosen to celebrate his First Mass of
Thanksgiving here at Saint Columbkille Church (his
adopted parish) on Sunday, May 22, at the 5 pm
Mass. All are invited to attend the Mass and come to
a light reception in the school dining hall at which
time “Father Tom” will be available to give his “First
Blessing” to anyone present. So, mark your calendars!
Please Remember the St. Vincent
de Paul Boxes at the doors of the
church as you leave Mass today.
The next meeting will be Tuesday,
April 26 at 7:00 pm in the rectory.
New members are always welcome.

Fifth Sunday of Easter
St. Columbkille Parish
Brighton, MA
5º domingo de Pascua
El refugio de animales local estaba en una asamblea escolar explicando a los estudiantes de las diversas cosas que
tenían que hacer para cuidar de sus mascotas. Explicó que
las mascotas no nos entienden cuando les decimos que los
queremos. Lo único que entienden es lo que hacemos.
Usted debe demostrar que usted los ama.
La gente es así. A veces no nos entienden cuando decimos que los queremos. Tenemos que mostrarles. Es todo
acerca de nuestra actitud, nuestra conversación, nuestra
ayuda, nuestra voluntad de escuchar, nuestra capacidad de
cambiar y crecer, y para pasar tiempo juntos. Cuando las
palabras no explican adecuadamente lo que sentimos, o
cuando las personas más cercanas a nosotros parece distante, tenemos que dejar que nuestro amor y preocupación
vienen a través de lo que hacemos. Un gesto, una mano,
una conversación tranquila, o nuestra presencia silenciosa
con todo de apoyo pueden ser el testimonio más elocuente
de los tesoros más profundas de nuestro corazón.
Incluso podemos mostrar nuestro amor a Dios. "Haz a los
demás como te gustaría que te hicieran a ti." "Cualquier
cosa que hagas al más pequeño de mis hermanos y hermanas, que me haces." Acciones y cuentan que decir algo. Misericordia, el perdón y la compasión son las cosas
que hacemos, no ideas que debate. Sólo se hacen reales
cuando en realidad nos mostramos misericordia, cuando
nos perdonamos y cuando somos compasivos. Dejar que
un pequeño espectáculo de amor en su vida. La gente va a
recibir el mensaje.
