MISSIONARIES OF MERCY

Paul’s back! After last week’s “violent abuse,” opponents organized a lynch mob that beat Paul nearly to death. But call Paul the “energizing evangelist,” transforming deadly cruelty into life-giving zeal. Paul’s past courage should inspire our commitment; Revelation’s future “new heaven, new earth” should inspire our optimism. But Revelation’s present assurance, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with the human race,” should challenge us to become “missionaries of mercy.” Because Pope Francis declared that the Church’s credibility is completely dependent on our showing unconditional mercy. Mercy, said Francis, makes the Church, the world, and everyone young again, reawakened to life’s noblest virtues. Fittingly, in today’s Gospel Jesus reinforces that theme: “This is how all will know you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

We welcome new families to our Parish. Please register as soon as possible and notify the office of moves or address changes. Please note if you would like the convenience of Sunday envelopes as the ordinary means of meeting your obligations to your Parish.

NADIE TAN PEQUEÑO Misteriosamente, la novedad revolucionaria de Jesús

surge de su obediencia profunda para arreglar la tradición, la Ley de Dios. En el quinto capítulo de Mateo, Jesús promete que él no ha venido a abolir las enseñanzas de la ley y los profetas y, la más pequeña letra de la ley estará vigente hasta que todo se cumpla. Con su perfecta obediencia al plan de Dios, Jesús cumple la letra de la ley. Al mismo tiempo, él demuestra el espíritu de la ley al ofrecer libremente su vida por nosotros, con gran preocupación amorosa por nuestro eterno bienestar. Como san Pablo les dice a los romanos: “el amor es el cumplimiento de la ley”. Dios nos dio reglas para protegernos y ayudarnos a ordenar nuestras vidas correctamente, pero Jesús nos muestra que el amor hace que la ley sea algo innecesario. Una madre que ama a sus hijos no tiene la necesidad de estarse acordando del mandamiento “No matarás”; por-que su amoroso instinto nutre a sus hijos, ella no solo sigue el Quinto Mandamiento, sino que lo trasciende, cumpliéndolo al querer realizar algo más de lo que se pide. Ella no solo evita matar, ella protege y mantiene la vida. La revolución de amor de Jesús nos desafía a encontrar cada momento, a cada persona, como una nueva oportunidad a sacrificarnos en amor, haciendo más de lo que la ley requiere.—Copyright © J. S. Paluch

Please note the time change from our normal 6:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. to allow for a full length film and snacking. All in High School are invited to attend! Keep up to date on what we are doing by joining our closed group on Facebook, "FAITHWORKS!

Instead, please join us at St. Patrick Cemetery from 9:00-11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 25th to help clean and beautify. We will be honoring all those who have served the Armed Forces. God bless our veterans and active military!

myPARISH APP In the New Evangelization, we talk about “meeting people where they are.” Increasingly, mobile devices are

where people are. We have so much information in our hands. So how can we ensure that faith is at your fingertips? Enter the myParish App, if you have not done so already. The myParish App, developed by Diocesan Publications, is offered completely free to our parishes and parishioners. The easy-to-use app is available in both English and Spanish.

Exclusive to the Diocese of Sacramento are buttons to read Catholic Herald magazine, listen to “The Bishop’s Hour” weekday podcast, and watch “The Sacramento Bishop’s Corner” monthly interview series.

NEWS FROM FAITH FORMATION

A Graduate’s Prayer

Father, I love knowledge, so will you show me now,

how to use it wisely and find a way somehow to make the world I live in a little better place.

and make life, with its problems, a bit easier to face…

Grant me faith and courage and put a purpose in my days,

and show me how to serve Thee in the most effective ways so all my education,

my knowledge and my skill, may find their true fulfillment

as I learn to do Thy will. and may I ever be aware in everything I do

that knowledge comes from learning and wisdom comes from You.

Author Unknown

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord...

Jerimiah 19:11

Congratulations to all of our youth who are graduating from 8th grade and from high school! We pray that God will bless you with inspiration and faithfulness for your continued journey. May your celebrations be safe!

An Irish First Communion Blessing May you always feel as close to Jesus as you do today, May you always count on Him to gently guide your way, May you always trust in God to answer every prayer, May you always feel Him blessing you with His loving care.
