PASTOR’S COLUMN
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I saw this reflection in Bringing Home the Word published by Ligouri Publications
and wanted to share it with you.
DAILY “PERKS”
“[Jesus] breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’”
John 20:19-23
I’m in the minority when it comes to coffee. It’s a foul-tasting, dark-colored water
to me, but to most Americans it’s the best-tasting stuff on earth. Many depend on
their morning cup of joe to start their day: “I’m just not myself until I have my coffee.” They can’t imagine going a day without it.
The same could – and should – be said of the Holy Spirit. Today on Pentecost we
remember and celebrate the first gift of the Spirit to the disciples, but it’s also a day
to thank God for that incredible, ongoing gift in our daily lives.
Saint Paul writes, “No one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit.” True,
we can’t proclaim Jesus is Lord without the Spirit, but we also can’t do much of anything without its grace. We can’t love, can’t forgive, can’t survive hardship, can’t heal
without the ongoing movement of the Spirit. So we can say about the Spirit what we
say about our morning java: “I’m just not myself without it.”
Saint Paul writes that we are all given to drink of the same Spirit. It’s an intriguing
image – how do you “drink” the Spirit? – but a most appropriate one as we understand how energizing, motivating, and life-giving the Holy Spirit is.
Today, let’s ask the Spirit to rush into those places in our lives that need to be revived, those areas of our hearts that are weary and worn.
And when sipping your coffee, imagine drinking in the Spirit of God – and thank
Him for this most amazing gift.
Questions for Reflection:
How do I let the Holy Spirit guide me during the day?
What spiritual gifts can I thank God for this week?
PENTECOST SUNDAY
From the Servant’s Heart
Give up and Go up!
That could be something good we can do as we respond to the
call of The Society of St. Vincent de Paul. This weekend they will be
coming to gather whatever offering we can share with our poor
brothers and sisters. It could be our clothes or any household item
we are willing to let go so we could make our less fortunate brother
or sister happy. Let us please share what we think we would wear
or use if we ourselves were that person that received that gift we
offered. The poor is “Jesus in disguise.” One question perhaps we
can ask ourselves, “Will Jesus look great if He wears this shirt?”
Thank you, Isabel!
If ever you were homebound and somebody from our parish
came to visit you, it’s because we have a very kind person who is
dedicated to respond to your needs. Remember to thank Isabel
Valles, the head of the Ministers to the Homebound. She is our
friend who recruits, trains, guides, assigns, and inspires all of our
brothers and sisters who serve with her in this ministry of serving
our parishioners who are sick and who can no longer attend church.
Just last Wednesday, we had a wonderful fellowship with all
these ministers. On behalf of our church, I would like to thank you
Isabel for that enriching evening of joyful sharing of food, stories,
wisdom, and presence. Thank you our dear volunteers who attended and donated food. Thank you for your very precious time,
energy, love, and healing you bring to our homebound.
Thank you so much to Isabel’s beloved husband, Philip. You are
behind the success and impact your wife brings to our community.
I Want to See Your Name
Whenever I take the time to read our bulletin, it is wonderful to
see that section where we’d find the names of people who have
already fulfilled their pledges to Together In Mission. I know these
people never donated for the purpose of having their names written
on the bulletin. But it sure does create an impact. Personally, I got
inspired when I saw their names! Thanks to Hector Perez who
thought of this bright idea! Because of that, I finally did my homework by also doing the same kind act of donating to help the poor. It
gave me that sense of urgency to act now. Again, it’s not all about
letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing. It’s simply to
inspire others, to move others, and to tell everyone, “Hey, we really
are Together In Mission!” I wish then to see your name too!
Filled with the Holy Spirit!
On behalf of our church, I would like to congratulate all of our 86
candidates who were confirmed last Tuesday. You made it! Of
course, not without the support of their parents and their confirmation teachers who dedicated their lives to serve them and who have
even welcomed students into their homes. Way to go to our beloved
Confirmation Coordinator, Daniel Rodriguez, and everyone else in
the team! Thank you so much, too, to our “Dynamic Duo” Theresa
Nicholas and Mary Rogers!
Thank you so much to our beloved Bishop Gordon Bennett who
came to visit us and confirmed our candidates. Thank you for the
gift of the Holy Spirit.
Social Media, Social ReMedia?
Social media is a gift today for so many reasons. It helps us
PAGE 3
communicate to the whole world and to get to know what’s going on
especially with our family, friends, and our community.
Unfortunately, sometimes, instead of being a helpful tool, it may
also be a cause of destruction and division. One word we post out
there can break a person. Even a church like our very own OLPH.
Just a small request my dear church. Before we post something
let us ask ourselves, “Is this going to be a source of unity or division? Will this tear someone apart or build him up? Will this be part
of a solution…a “remedy” or will it be something that will cause further damage to our community?”
Also, if ever you get to read something, please take it with a
grain of salt…and pepper.
Please Walk the Talk
Christian faith is all about giving and doing something for our
brothers and sisters who are in need. Without giving and helping
others our faith is empty and meaningless. Let us then as one
church show that our faith and our church is truly alive by joining the
Crop Walk on May 22 at 1 pm. Starting point will be at the Downey
Memorial Christian Church. Please join us by “walking the talk.” See
page 12 for details. Please also pray that we will have a good turn
out.
We Need the Holy Spirit
I would like each of us to learn the “Prayer to the Holy Spirit.”
Please pray this prayer each day. We need him to help us in every
single thing we do and say. We just don’t have the clue how important he is and how much more we can do than just relying on our
own intelligence and strength. Remember the disciples of Jesus
who were once so scared and were very simple men were able to
preach boldly the Gospel in spite of persecution. In other words,
through the help of the Holy Spirit whom Jesus has given them they
were able to accomplish amazing things.
“Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in
them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall
be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the
hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may
be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ
Our Lord, Amen.”
Prayer Request for Richard Ching’s Healing
Please pray for our brother, Richard Ching, who is now ill. He is
the beloved husband of Ruth Ching. A wonderful couple who served
the church for many years in daily mass and as leaders in the Little
Rock Bible Study. Richard also leads us in the Morning Prayer on
Fridays and also is one of our lectors. Please remember him in your
daily Rosary and Holy Eucharist. Get well soon, Richard. We miss
you too Ruth.
“The purpose of life is not just to be happy. It is to be useful, to
be honorable, to be compassionate, to have some difference
that you have lived and lived well.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson (Thank you, Isabel Valles, for this quote!)

LPH with a HEART”

PRAYER FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
Glorious St. Thomas More, Patron of
Statesmen, Politicians, Judges and Lawyers,
your life of prayer and penance and your zeal
for justice, integrity and firm principle in public
and family life led you to the path of martyrdom
and sainthood. We pray for our Statemen,
Politicians, Judges and Lawyers, that they may
be courageous and effective in their defense
and promotion of the sanctity of human life the
foundation of all other human rights.
We pray to renew our commitment to building a
community where every human life is welcomed
and wanted, valued and defended, from conception to natural death.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

KIDS CORNER
SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN
Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive the
Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven
them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”
TIPS FOR PREVENTING ABDUCTION
Color only the spaces that have the letters
“HOLY SPIRIT” in them.
Teaching children about abduction safety is
important, but the ultimate responsibility lies
with trusted adults. One thing you can do is use
role-playing scenarios to help children learn
how to recognize and respond to risky situations.
To learn more about abduction and how to
better protect your child please email [email protected] or call (213) 6377227 to receive a fact sheet from KidSmartz.org.
For more information, call our Parish Contact
Theresa Nicholas at 562) 862-7268.
STEWARDSHIP
If the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according
to what one has, not according to what he does not have.

MINISTERIO HISPANO
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,
Vi esta reflexión en Bringing Home the Word publicada por Ligouri Publications y
quiero compartirla con ustedes.
VENTAJAS DARIAS
“Jesús sopló sobre ellos y les dijo: 'Recibid el Espíritu Santo.'”
Juan 20:19-23
Estoy en la minoría cuando se trata de café. Para mi es un agua sin sabor de color
oscuro, pero para la mayoría de los estadounidenses es lo más sabroso en la tierra.
Muchos dependen de su taza por la mañana para comenzar su día: Muchos dicen "Yo
no soy yo hasta que tomo mi café." No se imaginan pasar un día sin él.
Lo mismo se podría – y debería – decirse del Espíritu Santo. Hoy, día de
Pentecostés recordamos y celebramos el primer don del Espíritu a los discípulos, pero
también es un día para dar gracias a Dios por este regalo increíble, un regalo que
recibimos diariamente.
San Pablo escribe, "nadie puede decir 'Jesús es el Señor' excepto por el Espíritu
Santo". Es cierto, no podemos proclamar que Jesús es el Señor sin el Espíritu, pero
tampoco podemos hacer mucho sin su gracia. No se puede amar, no se puede
perdonar, no se puede sobrevivir penurias, no se puede curar sin el movimiento
constante del Espíritu. Así que podemos decir acerca del Espíritu lo que decimos sobre
nuestro café por la mañana: "No soy yo sin mi café."
San Pablo escribe que se nos da a beber del mismo Espíritu. Es una imagen
fascinante, ¿cómo "beber" el espíritu? – pero es más apropiado cuando entendemos
cómo el Espíritu Santo es energízante, motivador y dador de vida.
Hoy, pidámosle al Espíritu que se apure a llenar en nuestras vidas esos lugares que
tienen necesidad de ser revividos, esas áreas de nuestros corazones que están cansadas
y desgastadas.
Y cuando disfrute de su café, imagínese bebiendo en el Espíritu de Dios – y dele
las gracias por este increíble regalo.
Pregunta para Reflexionar:
¿Cómo dejar que el Espíritu Santo me guíe durante el día?
¿Por cuáles dones espirituales puedo darle gracias Dios esta semana?

PROTEGIENDO LOS NIÑOS
CONSEJOS PARA PREVENIR EL SECUESTRO
Es importante educar a los niños sobre la
seguridad contra el secuestro, pero la mayor
responsabilidad está en los adultos de
confianza. Algo que se puede hacer es usar
escenarios donde se jueguen roles para ayudar
a los niños a aprender cómo reconocer y
responder en situaciones de riesgo.
Para aprender más sobre secuestro y cómo
proteger mejor a sus hijos, por favor escriba a

ORACIÓN POR LA LIBERTAD RELIGIOSA
O Glorioso Santo Tomás More, Patrón de los
Estadistas, Políticos, Jueces y Abogados, tu vida de
oración y penitencia y tu fervor por la justicia,
integridad y firme principio en público y en tu vida
familiar te llevo por el camino del martirio y santidad.
Pedimos por nuestros Estadistas, Políticos, Jueces
y Abogados, que ellos puedan ser valientes y
efectivos en su defensa y promoción de la santidad
de la vida humana, el cimiento de todos los demás
derechos humanos. Pedimos por la renovación de
nuestro compromiso para construir una comunidad
donde cada vida humana es bienvenida y deseada,
valorada y defendida, desde la concepción hasta la
muerte natural. Pedimos esto a través de nuestro
Señor Jesucristo. Amén

Mensaje del Diácono Carlos
PÁGINA 7
Saludos mis Hermanas y Hermanos:
Hoy celebramos la fiesta de Pentecostés,
palabra que significa" cincuenta días "porque es el
tiempo que la separa de otra gran festividad, la
Pascua.
La Pascua es la fiesta de la luz, de la nueva vida
que comienza con la resurrección de Cristo.
Pentecostés es la celebración del don del Espíritu
Santo que da comienzo a la Nueva Alianza y señala
el nacimiento de la vida pública de la Iglesia.
Seguimos teniendo visitas esporádicas de
Monseñor Miranda el jueves Cinco de Mayo estuvo
presente en las festividades de la escuela
saludando a los niños y platicando con los maestros
especialmente con la Sra. Aguilar la Directora de la
Escuela, que como saben ella dejará su puesto
para irse a trabajar a la Arquidiócesis.
Si ven al Padre Joseph salúdenlo y muéstrenle
su afecto él esta muy triste por que se tiene que ir a
otra parroquia, él ha sido un gran amigo de la
Comunidad Hispana y ha abierto las puertas de la
iglesia a todos los grupos parroquiales.
Bendiciones Diácono Carlos

Downey’s walk itself began in 2013, and
we’ve raised nearly $36,000 in the fight against
hunger in just three years!
