If you have a registered parishioner to add to our
prayer list, please contact the executive assistant in the
parish office. Please let us know when it is time to
remove a name from the list. Please inscribe the
names of non-parishioners (e.g. family members,
friends, neighbors, co-workers) in the prayer intention
book found in the church vestibule. Please inscribe
their name only once as their needs will be
remembered at Masses throughout the year.
If you are hospitalized or homebound and would like
to receive Communion, please call Pat & Gary Boylan
at 941-204-7837.
You may also contact someone from the Eucharistic
Apostles of Divine Mercy who will pray the Chaplet of
Divine Mercy or other prayers with you. Please call
Lillian Pente at 843-705-7170.
Many enduring images of Church come to us from
the New Testament. One is Paul’s image: “The Body of
Christ.” Another comes from our gospel today: “The
Vine and the Branches.”
Both are metaphors of living organisms. For both,
Christ is the most important element. Christ is the head
of the Body and the symbol of authority and purpose.
Christ is the vine that brings life and nutrients to the
branches that produce fruit. Anyone who has visited a
winery knows the significance of the vine. If it’s cut, the
branches wither and the crop fails.
Why is it important to have both images?
John’s image reminds us that the
Church can’t survive if it’s separated
from Christ. We can live only if we
remain in Christ so that the power of
grace can continue to infuse us with
everything we need to bear the fruit of
love, compassion and mercy.
Paul’s metaphor keeps us humble. Regardless of
how this Body is structured, Christ is the true head; we
are to submit ourselves to obedience to him regardless
of how important we are in this world. We also know we
belong as a community to Christ and in communion with
one another.
There are many parts to the Body and many clusters
of fruit on the vine. To leave either is to separate
ourselves from Christ.
That’s why praying together each week is so
important. It reminds us who we are and whom we
belong to.
Let us offer praise for this vine and for this Body into
which our baptism has called us.

St. Gregory the Great Adoration Society
“Would you not spend one hour with Me?”
Eucharistic Adoration is adoring the Eucharistic Presence of Christ
Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel gives us an opportunity to spend an hour of prayer and give thanks for the
many blessings we have received. This hour in peace and meditation with the Blessed Sacrament can also be an
opportunity to pray for our friends and family who are sick or just need our prayers. Christ instituted this Holy
Sacrament of the Eucharist in order to remain with mankind until the end of time (Jn. 14:18).
Our wish is to have someone present for each of the 24 hours throughout the day in silent contemplation and
reflection. We can use more adorers for this ministry. Please be generous with your time and sign up for one
hour of adoration.
If you have any questions or feel you can sign up for just one hour per week please call John Klinger 7577454 or send an email to [email protected].
ADORACIÓN
QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
PARA DAR FRUTO
“Hijos míos: No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras”.
Las palabras de Juan nos llegan hoy cuando el pasaje del Evangelio nos presenta con la
gran imagen del viñedo y las ramas. Jesús usa la imagen como un aviso a los que se
han empezado a distanciar de la senda del Señor. Esto sucede cuando amamos a Dios
y a otros “con palabras o dichos” y no con “la verdad y las obras”. ¿Qué significa para
nosotros “permanecer en Cristo”? El Señor nos da un ejemplo con la extensión de la metáfora. Si permanecemos
en él, daremos mucho fruto. Como ramas sacamos la fuerza de Cristo que es la viña. Esa fuerza nos facilita dar
fruto hacer el trabajo de los verdaderos discípulos.

QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
3 DE MAYO DE 2015
No amemos solamente de palabra;
amemos de verdad y con las obras.
— 1 Juan 3:18
Durante la Última Cena, Jesús dijo a sus apóstoles:
“Yo soy la vid, ustedes son los sarmientos” (Juan 15:5).
Jesús añade que los sarmientos (ramas) que
permanecen en él, dan mucho fruto. Según la
agricultura, la vid es una parra, es decir, una planta
perenne de ramas frondosas.
Una parte importante de la vid son las hojas. Es
obvio que una vid tiene hojas, pero Jesús no las
menciona, prefiere enfocarse en los sarmientos. Las
partes de la vid son las raíces, tronco, sarmientos,
hojas, flores y fruto. Según esta división Jesús sería el
tronco, pero él dice ser la vid completa. Esta es una
imagen de la unidad que Jesús quiere entre sus
seguidores. Recordemos que Jesús celebra la Última
Cena con sus discípulos. La comunidad de discípulos
unidos a Jesús formamos la vid. Los sarmientos o
ramas conducen agua y minerales a las hojas, flores y
frutos, y son útiles en tanto estén unidos a la vid. Lo
mismo vale de los cristianos, discípulos de Jesús. Son
ellos y ellas los que hacen presente y le dan vida a
Jesús en el mundo de hoy.
