Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Awaiting the Holy Spirit
En espera del Espíritu Santo
Today’s readings and prayers commemorate the completion of Jesus’ time on earth and his promise of the
Advocate. The reading from Acts records Jesus’ promise, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem«
and to the ends of the earth.” Jesus promises his disciples that the Holy Spirit will bring gifts that will bear
great fruit. The second reading from the Ephesians lists
some of the gifts and fruits that the disciples will receive: “a Spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in
knowledge of [God]” and also “the eyes of your hearts
will be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope
that belongs to His call.” The days between the Ascension and Pentecost were difficult for the frightened disciples as they prayed for the strength to trust Jesus’
words. The first chapter in Acts records that Mary was
present with the disciples in the upper room. Her presence must have been a great comfort to them as she
had been blessed by the Holy Spirit many years before
at the Annunciation when she consented to become the
mother of Jesus. Jesus knew that his mother would
help open their hearts to the Spirit’s coming. Mary became an intercessor for the Intercessor. This is especially symbolic today as we celebrate Mother’s Day on
this feast of the Ascension. We are thankful for our
Blessed Mother’s example which guides our earthly
mothers’ love and
devotion as they act
as
intercessors
throughout our lives.
Our
hearts
are
“gladdened with holy
joys” as we await the
commemoration of
the coming of the
Holy Spirit which
begins
the
next
chapter of our salvation history.
Las lecturas y oraciones de hoy conmemoran la finalización del tiempo de Jesús en la tierra y de su promesa de
enviar a un Consolador. La lectura de los Hechos de los
Apóstoles nos recuerda la promesa de Jesús, "Cuando
el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre ustedes, los llenará
de fortaleza y serán mis testigos en Jerusalén ... y hasta
los últimos rincones de la tierra." Jesús promete a sus
discípulos que el Espíritu Santo traerá regalos que darán fruto. La segunda lectura de la Carta del Apóstol
San Pablo a los Efesios enumera algunos de los dones
y frutos que los discípulos recibirán: "un espíritu de sabiduría y de revelación para conocerlo [Dios]" y también
"que les ilumine la mente para que comprendan cuál es
la esperanza que les da su llamado". Los días entre la
Ascensión y Pentecostés fueron difíciles para los atemorizados discípulos que oraban pidiendo fortaleza para
confiar en las palabras de Jesús. El primer capítulo de
los Hechos de los Apóstoles narra cómo María estaba
presente con los discípulos en el aposento alto y cuya
presencia debe haber sido un gran consuelo para ellos
por haber sido bendecida por el Espíritu Santo muchos
años atrás, luego de aceptar a ser la madre de Jesús
durante la Anunciación. Jesús sabía que su madre les
podía ayudar a abrir sus corazones a la venida del Espíritu y así María se convirtió en la intercesora del Intercesor; un símbolo muy especial hoy que celebramos el Día
de la Madre en esta fiesta de la
Ascensión. Estamos agradecidos por el ejemplo de nuestra
Santísima Madre, que guía el
amor y la devoción a nuestras
madres en la tierra, para actuar
como intercesores a lo largo de
nuestras vidas. Nuestros corazones se "llenan de gozo" recordando la espera de la venida del
Espíritu Santo, que da comienzo
al próximo capítulo de nuestra
historia de salvación.

Lord Send Us Your Spirit and Renew the
Face of the Earth
Our Lady of the Assumption School
We hear the Book of Genesis
that the Spirit hovered over the
waters at the beginning of Creation. It is that same Spirit which
descended upon Mary and then
descended upon Jesus at his
Baptism. It is now that same
Spirit who comes down from heaven in the form of the
many gifts that animates the Christian Community at
Pentecost. It is this same Spirit that transforms our offerings of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ
and continues to inspire, transform, and mission this
community of faith the sole purpose of renewing all of
creation.
At Pentecost, the Spirit enflamed the Apostles with apostolic zeal so that they might go out to all the earth and
proclaim the Good News. We are now emboldened to do
the same. It is not for our own prestige and acclamation
that the Spirit does this but so that the Body of Christ will
be empowered. The gifts of the Spirit are meant for others as much as they are for ourselves. It is the Spirit’s
desire that Her gifts of Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel Fortitude, Piety, and Fear of the Lord, build
up those around us and bring about the many fruits that
come from these gifts. We pray that all our Confirmandi,
who this year, as in years past, will allow the Spirit to take
root in their lives and enrich the Church with many gifts.
What can be more attractive to those who seek to know
the Lord and be refreshed than to see a community of
faith that lives out its mission to bring Love, Joy, Peace,
Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness and Faithfulness in
our world. Through the Spirit we renew the lives of everyone around us and by bringing this Hope to those who
hunger and thirst for acceptance and meaning in their
lives. This is our mission at Our Lady of the Assumption
Parish and it is the mission entrusted to the entire Church
of Jesus Christ. May we bring this to completion by our
tireless effort to let the Spirit of Christ first renew us so
that we can renew the face of the earth and all around us.
Rest in the Peace and Love of the Spirit. Share the Love
and Joy of Christ.
Blessings, Fr. Leon

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.

¿SABIA USTED?
Conozca las señales del tráfico humano
El tráfico humano reclama cada año a
muchas víctimas jóvenes, y muchas veces
vemos a estas víctimas en nuestra vida
diaria. Es importante reconocer las señales
de abuso y saber cómo interactuar con
posibles víctimas. La mejor forma de comenzar una difícil
conversación con adolescentes que pueden estar en
riesgo
es
simplemente
hablando
con
ellos,
preguntándoles qué está pasando en sus vidas y si ellos
están bien. Señales de abuso incluyen heridas
sospechosas e inexplicables, evasión, o dependencia en
un/a “amigo/a” mayor. Para más información, por favor

Celebrate the Catholic Mass in Slow-Motion
Monday, May 9 ~ 7:00-9:00pm
A slowed-down version of our Catholic Mass can give
people the opportunity to understand and reflect more
deeply on the meaning and significance of the prayers,
gestures and scripture readings that form the basis of this
most sacred liturgical rite. Fr. Jim Clarke, Director of Spiritual Formation at St. John’s Seminary, will celebrate a
“Mass in Slow-Motion” at Padre Serra Parish. He will present an overview of ways in which the Mass has developed over the centuries, as well as demonstrating a more
mindful approach that can lead to more active and full
participation in the worship experience. 5205 Upland
Road, Camarillo. RSVP: [email protected]
