Pentecost Sunday: May 24, 2015
“As the Father has sent me, so I send you: Receive the Holy Spirit.” -John 20:19-23
Pastor Reflection
In today’s responsorial psalm the Church sings out: “Lord,
send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.” All three
readings describe how God has answered that prayer already.
In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles and in the
Gospel passage from John, we read of astonishing events that
called cowering disciples to step out of hiding and proclaim news
that would condemn them and change the world forever! In the
second reading Paul’s words reach out into the future to us: “we
were all given to drink of one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13).
Memorial Day
In observance of Memorial Day, the Parish
Office will be closed on Monday, May 25.
Masses will be celebrated at:
8 am—Holy Family
9am—St. Mary’s
It is our task to truly pray today’s psalm response. Let us together beg the Holy Spirit to renew the earth by renewing the
Church, sending many more men and women to serve in her various ministries.
SENT AS HE WAS SENT
Religious vocations have always been a mystery. Even in the
Old Testament, we read of prophets who, when called, replied,
“Lord! Why me?” Those who serve the Church today as priests,
deacons, religious sisters or brothers, or lay ministers often report
a feeling of wonder that God has chosen them to serve. Therefore,
it should be no surprise if readers of today’s scripture passages,
which describe the disciples hiding in fear, might wonder, “Lord,
why them?”
Those fearful disciples were, nonetheless, the recipients of
wonderful gifts of the Spirit. On Easter Sunday evening, today’s
Gospel reports, Jesus gave his disciples the power to forgive sins.
“Peace be with you,” he said. “As the Father has sent me, so I send
you” (John 20:21). From this first “sending” and its powerful aftermath on Pentecost, the Church was born. Out of such fearful and
unlikely origins, the Church has grown so strong that it has survived every kind of sin and persecution from the outside as well as
from within.
“WHY US?”
While today’s first reading and gospel describe these astonishing events, it is Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians, who puts them
into perspective. “We were all given to drink of the one Spirit,”
Paul proclaims. We can read with wonder about the frightened
people Jesus first sent to bring the gospel to the world, or we can
look around with wonder at the people who are sent today. “Lord,
why us?” we may well ask.
Jesus has never left his Church orphaned. As the Father sent
him, and as he sent his disciples, so he now sends us. How will
each of us respond to this challenge? Peace be with us all.
Today’s Readings: Acts 2:1–11; Ps 104:1, 24, 29–31, 34; 1 Cor
12:3b–7, 12–13 or Gal 5:16–25; Jn 20:19–23 or Jn 15:26–27; 16:12–
15

THANKYOU
Thank you to the Altar & Rosary Society for generously

Prayer of the Faithful at masses on the weekend. The
book is available for all parishioners to enter their
loved ones names. It is located with the Book of the
Sick in the vestibule of St. Mary’s.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
All of us are called to stand with victims in their search for healing and genuine justice. Our pastoral presence to victims must
be compassionate and constant. Victims and their families need
to know that they are not alone and that the Church and greater
community are there to walk with them through their pain and
suffering. We need to expand our outreach to victims. Victims of
crime have a right to be kept informed and involved throughout
the criminal justice process.
Protecting communities and preventing crime requires helping
offenders return successfully back into society. Upon reentering society, former offenders, as well as their families and
community, face complex challenges. Many are likely to struggle
with substance abuse, lack of adequate education and job skills,
limited housing options and mental health issues.
We do not support policies that treat young offenders as
though they are adults. Children should not live their lives behind bars for decisions they made at a stage of mental and
emotional immaturity. Healing and rehabilitation are the primary focus and intent of restorative justice which seeks to amend
the justice system to reflect the idea that kids can change.
We encourage models of restorative justice: educating parishioners and community members on crime prevention and effective responses to victims and offenders and restoring a sense of
community that resists the violence that has engulfed so much
of our culture. And we emphasize that the death penalty offers
the tragic illusion that we can defend life by taking life. St. John
Paul II condemned the death penalty (cf. Evangelium Vitae, 56),
as does the Catechism of the Catholic Church (No. 2267).
We continue to press for expanded access to prisoners through
our chaplaincy programs, including access by dedicated volunteers who will help nourish their faith life. We oppose limitations
on the authentic religious expression of prisoners and roadblocks that inhibit prison ministry.
We support policies and programs that address the needs of
victims.
We support programming to improve prospects for offenders
returning to their families and communities.
We advocate for polices that help reduce violence in local communities.
We support chaplains who care for the spiritual needs of those
incarcerated in our prisons and jails.
We advocate for life in prison rather than the use of the death
penalty.
In appreciation for your generous support in
response to the K.V.S.P needs, may God richly bless
you for remembering the men behind the walls.

Domingo de Pentecostés: 24 de Mayo de 2015
"Jesús se hizo presente a los discípulos y les trajo su paz. Les envío en su misión con poder para perdonar o atar
los pecados por el Espíritu Santo" -Juan 20:19-23
¿Está ssiendollamado?
Pastor Reflexión
Las vocaciones religiosas son siempre misteriosas. Aun
en el Antiguo Testamento, leemos sobre profetas que
cuando fueron llamados respondieron, “Señor, ¿por qué
yo?” Aquellos que hoy sirven a la Iglesia como sacerdotes,
diáconos, hermanas religiosas o hermanos o ministros laicos,
a menudo describen con asombro que Dios los ha elegido
para servir. Por eso, no debe sorprendernos si los lectores de
los pasajes de la Escritura hoy que describen a los discípulos
escondidos por temor, se preguntaran: “Señor, ¿por qué
ellos?”
Estos discípulos fueron, no obstante, los reci-pientes de
los regalos maravillosos del Espíritu. Según el Evangelio de
hoy, en la tarde del Domingo de Pascua, Jesús dio a sus
discípulos el poder de perdonar los pecados. “La paz esté
con ustedes”, dijo. “Como el Padre me envió a mí, así los
envío yo también” (Juan 20:21). De este primer envío y de su
poderosa secuela el día de Pentecostés, nació la Iglesia. De
estos orígenes de temor e improbabilidad, la Iglesia ha
crecido tan fuerte que ha sobrevivido toda especie de
pecado y persecución de afuera como de adentro.
“¿POR QUÉ NOSOTROS?”
Aunque la primera lectura y el Evangelio de hoy
describen estos acontecimientos, Pablo es el que en su
primera carta a los corintios les da perspectiva. “Todos
hemos bebido del mismo Espíritu”, proclama en el capitulo
12, versículo 13. Podemos leer con sorpresa acerca de los
primeros individuos asustados que Jesús envió para llevar el
Evangelio al mundo, o ¡podemos mirar con asombro a los
que son enviados hoy! “Señor, ¿por qué nosotros?”,
podemos preguntar.
Jesús nunca deja huérfana a su Iglesia. Como el Padre lo
envió, y como Él envió a sus discípulos, así nos envió a
nosotros. ¿Cómo va cada uno de nosotros a responder a
este reto? ¡Que la paz esté con nosotros todos!
Lecturas de hoy: Hch 2:1–11; Sal 104:1, 24, 29–31, 34; 1
Cor 12:3b–7, 12–13 o Gal 5:16–25; Jn 20:19–23 o Jn 15:26–27;
16:12–15
¿Estás siendo llamado a dar de su tiempo y talento para
servir a los demás? La Iglesia Católica de Visalia está
buscando voluntarios adultos para ayudar en las misas
funerarias.
Se necesitan hombres y mujeres para ayudar a servir en el
altar o para proclamar la Palabra de Dios.
Usted puede servir tan a menudo como quiera.
No se necesita experiencia y nos encantaría enseñarle.

INTRODUCTION TO CATHOLICISM
First Step in Becoming Catholic
Are you unbaptized, and considering being baptized in the
Catholic faith? Have you already been baptized in another
church and are now considering becoming a Catholic? Are you
a baptized Catholic who has never been confirmed?
If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes” and you are
at least 18 years old, Introduction to Catholicism might be just
what you've been looking for. It is the initial phase of the RCIA
process, and is also call Inquiry. It includes 9 sessions covering
basic Catholic beliefs and practices in an informal setting where
questions are welcomed. Our first session will be Wednesday,
May 27th, at 7:00 pm in Room 2 at the Parish Center on Garden
Street, between Murray and Race.
If you have any questions, please contact Deacon Ken
Ramage - 734-8303; [email protected], or Jack Martinesen – 303-8706.
