Page Two May 3, 2015 Pastor’s Column “Do not be amazed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He is not here. He has been raised up.” (Mark 16:5) As Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary, the mother of James, left their homes and approached the tomb, they were experiencing the intense grief that comes from the death of a loved one. For three years they had been with Jesus, witnessed his miracles, reflected on his teachings, and experienced the power of Jesus’ ministry. In spite of the severe opposition by the religious leaders, they had hoped, as we would today, that God would protect Jesus from harm and allow him to continue his holy work. As we now know and believe, Jesus instead offered his life in order to bring redemption to all people for all time. So this moment in time was one of great sorrow for them. Their emotions changed when they arrived at the tomb and found “a young man” in the tomb itself, clothed in a white robe. These were his words. The man could see that they were amazed, but at what? There was an empty tomb, and there was a man there. However, it was enough for the women to take this next step in their journey of faith. The man then revealed to them the essential mystery of the Christian faith—Jesus has been raised up. This is the Easter mystery, the Good News that has been handed down from generation to generation. As we continue our journey during this Easter season, the resurrection of Jesus continues to bring us his new life of grace. He has conquered the effects of sin and death in our lives by the sacrifice of his perfect life. In the simple Eucharistic acclamation of faith, “We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection until you come again,” we proclaim the Easter mystery. May we join with the holy women to live in amazement, gratitude, and wonder for God’s love to us. - Fr. Jack A MESSAGE FROM FR.

Page Three May 3, 2015 Fifth Sunday of Easter A STUBBORN VINE After moving into my present home ten years ago, I was pleased to find that the back yard’s landscaping included a very healthy looking clematis, a quick spreading vine that yields large, beautiful, star shaped flowers. I had always wanted a yard with a clematis vine growing in it. Moving into the house in the summer, I was able to experience the beauty of hundreds of blossoms that covered the vines for most of the season. Since that summer, I have tried, year after year, to tend to this plant. I have read books about these easy to grow vines, consulted other gardeners, and searched the Internet for clues. I prune the clematis at the proper time and apply lime to the soil around the vine. Every summer for the last nine years, the total number of blossoms each year barely reaches five. I have been tempted to tear out the vine and plant a new one, yet I always remember those hundreds of blossoms that first summer and I am committed to trying again, year after year. FAITH BLOSSOMS Our faith lives are sometimes like the reluctant clematis. Even when we try to nourish and tend our spiritual lives, we often experience only a few “blooms.” The metaphor Jesus used, the vine and the branches, is a beautiful image and says much about persistence in the faith for today’s believer. Sometimes our conversion experiences are slow in coming, and take lots of time and tending. As long as we keep our attention focused on the Lord, there is always hope that deep faith and conversion will blossom within and around us. The words of the Lord that continue to encourage us are embedded within today’s Gospel passage: “Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

Page Eight 3 de Mayo de 2015 Quinto Domingo de Pascua UNA ENREDADERA TESTARUDA Luego de mudarme hace diez años a la casa donde ahora vivo, me sentí complacido de encontrar que en el jardín trasero había una muy saludable clemátide, que es una enredadera que se extiende rápidamente y produce grandes y hermosas flores en forma de estrella. Siempre había querido tener una clemátide en mi jardín. Debido a que me mudé en el verano, por casi toda la estación tuve la oportunidad de disfrutar de la belleza de cientos de flores que cubrían la enredadera. Desde ese verano he tratado, año tras año, de cuidar la enredadera. He leído libros sobre esta enredadera fácil de cultivar, he consultado con otros jardineros y buscado recomendaciones en Internet. He podado la clemátide en el tiempo apropiado y he abonado la tierra a su alrededor. En los últimos nueve años, el número total de flores cada verano ha llegado apenas a cinco. Me he sentido tentado a cortar la enredadera y cultivar una nueva, pero siempre recuerdo las cientos de flores del primer verano y año tras año me siento comprometido a intentar de nuevo. FLORES DE FE Algunas veces nuestra fe es como esta clemátide renuente. A pesar de que tratamos de alimentar y cuidar nuestra vida espiritual, muchas veces solamente producimos unas cuantas “flores”. La metáfora usada por Jesús, la vida y las ramas, es un imagen hermosa y dice mucho de la persistencia en la vida de fe del creyente de hoy. Algunas veces nuestras experiencias de conversión llegan lentamente, y requieren de mucho tiempo y cuidado. Mientras mantengamos nuestra atención enfocada en el Señor, siempre habrá esperanza para que la fe profunda y la conversión florezcan dentro y alrededor de nosotros. Las palabras del Señor que continúan animándonos están cimentadas en el Evangelio de hoy: “El que permanece en mí y yo en él, ése da fruto abundante, porque sin mí nada pueden hacer” Lecturas de hoy: Hechos 9:26–31; Salmo 22:26–28, 30–32; 1 Juan 3:18–24; Juan 15:1–8 Copyright © 2005, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. LECTURAS DEL PROXIMO DOMINGO Primera lectura — Mediante las prédicas de Pedro, el Espíritu Santo viene a los gentiles (Hechos 10:2526, 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.

SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Quinto Domingo de Pascua Martes: Cinco de Mayo Jueves: Día Nacional de Oración NUEVO HORARIOS DEL CENTRO PARROQUIAL El Centro Parroquial se cerrará a las 5:00 pm sólamente : Jueves, 7 de Mayo Miercoles, 13 de Mayo Jueves, 21 de Mayo Jueves, 28 de Mayo Page Nine 3 de Mayo de 2015 Columna del Pastor “No esté asombrado. Busca a Jesús de Nazareth, el crucificado. No está aquí. Ha sido levantado”. (Marque 16:5) Como Maria Magdalena, Salome, y Maria, la madre de Jaime, dejaron sus casas y se acercaron a la tumba, experimentaban la pena intensa que viene de la muerte de un querido. Durante tres años habían estado con Jesús, atestiguaron sus milagros, reflejados en sus enseñanzas, y experimentaron el poder del ministerio de Jesús. A pesar de la oposición severa por los líderes religiosos, habían esperado, como íbamos hoy, que Dios protegería a Jesús del daño y permitiría que él siga su trabajo santo. Como ahora sabemos y creemos, Jesús en cambio ofreció su vida a fin de traer la amortización a toda la gente para siempre. Por tanto este momento a tiempo era una de la gran pena para ellos. Sus emociones cambiaron cuando llegaron a la tumba y encontraron “a un joven” en la propia tumba, vestido de un traje blanco. Éstas eran sus palabras. ¿El hombre podría ver que estaban asombrados, pero en qué? Había una tumba vacía, y había un hombre allí. Sin embargo, era bastante para las mujeres para tomar este siguiente paso en su viaje de la fe. El hombre entonces reveló a ellos el misterio esencial de la fe cristiana — Jesús ha sido levantado. Esto es el misterio la Pascua, las Buenas noticias que han sido pasadas de la generación a la generación. Mientras que seguimos nuestro viaje durante esta temporada la Pascua, la resurrección de Jesús sigue trayéndonos su nueva vida de la gracia. Ha conquistado los efectos de pecado y muerte en nuestras vidas por el sacrificio de su vida perfecta. En la aclamación Eucarística simple de la fe, “Proclamamos su muerte, O Señor, y profesamos su resurrección hasta que venga otra vez”, proclamamos el misterio de Pascua. Podemos unirnos con las mujeres santas para vivir en asombro, gratitud y maravilla para el amor de Dios a nosotros. ~Padre Jack La Entrada Triunfal de Jesucristo le invita todos los lunes a las 6:30pm de la tarde en la iglesia (ver calendario para fechas) al Grupo de Oración.
