Ascension Sunday, May 13 Next Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension, when Jesus returned to the Father in heaven where he intercedes for us and to make possible the gift of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Pope Emeritus Benedict has described the period since the Ascension as when “the Christian community progresses in its earthly itinerary toward the fulfillment of the messianic promises, strengthened by the Word of God and nourished by the Lord’s Body and Blood”.

FORMACIÓN EN LA FE PROGRAMA DE EDUCACIÓN RELIGIOSA
Estimados padres de familia de los niños que asisten a las clases de Formación en la Fe, (Catecismo) les pedimos que ayuden a sus niños a continuar viviendo su formación en casa, y les informamos que para la facilidad de sus hijos a comprender el mensaje de Jesús, las misas de los días sábados a las 6:30 de la tarde son bilingües, ayude a sus niños trayéndolos a esta misa porque la asistencia a las misas dominicales y días de guardar son muy importantes y son parte de la preparación para que sus niños reciban su primera comunión, los padres pueden traer a sus hijos a misa para que estén en contacto permanente con la Iglesia de Cristo y sus enseñanzas. Esto va a hacer que estén alejados de los peligros de las pandillas y la vida no sana que podrían estar recibiendo en la calle y les va ayudar a ser personas buenas y exitosas en la vida.
VI DOMINGO DE PASCUA PRIMERA LECTURA HECHOS 10, 25-27. 34-35. 44-48
SEGUNDA LECTURA PRIMERA DE JUAN 4, 7-10 EVANGELIO JUAN 15, 9-17
“Como el Padre me amó, así también los he amado yo…..permanezcan en mi amor”
Queridos hermanos, si bien recuerdan hace dos domingos Jesús, nos comparó a las ovejas y el domingo pasado nos pidió de permanecer unidos a él como están unidos la vid y el sarmiento y que esta unión fuera libre porque los que permanece unido a la fuerza dan poco fruto y no fruto abundante. En el evangelio de hoy Jesús se encuentra en el Cenáculo, despidiéndose de sus discípulos celebrando la Ultima Cena, hoy nos revela una identidad nueva, ya no nos compara a un animalito o a una planta, hoy nos eleva de grado llamándonos amigos, ¿escucharon bien? AMIGOS.
La iglesia nos relata hoy el mismo evangelio del Jueves Santo pero con diferente significado, ahora lo leemos dentro del contexto de su Asención (que celebraremos la próxima semana). Jesús se está despidiendo de sus discípulos, y como regalo antes de su partida, les revela este gran secreto escondido desde la creación de este mundo, los llamara AMIGOS. No más siervos (y para demostrarlo les lavara los pies) este gesto no fue entendido en su plenitud por los discípulos, era mucho para su mente humana, ¿Que Dios te llame amigo? eso superaba en mucho su razón.
Para que lo entiendan Jesús tiene que decírselos con un verbo nuevo que describa su amor por ellos, este verbo es AGAPE hasta ese día ellos conocían solo dos tipos de amor, el eros y el filos el primero describe el amor entre un hombre y una mujer, el segundo describe el amor familiar (entre los padres y los hijos) o de amistad (entre los amigos) pero este nuevo tipo de amor AGAPE (entre Dios y el hombre) los dejara sorprendidos, por supuesto como muchas cosas la descubrirán más tarde.
Dentro de este nuevo tipo de amor se puede entender su nuevo mandamiento que nos deja antes de su Asención: “que nos amemos los unos a los otros como él nos amó” solo este tipo de amor podrá mantenernos unidos entre nosotros como Iglesia y con Dios si cumplimos lo que él nos pidió.
¡Animo!, no tengamos miedo amar al hermano ya que el mismo nos amó antes que nosotros lo amaramos y como si fuera poco subirá al cielo de donde bajo en su encarnación para enviarnos al Espíritu Santo que nos ayudara a cumplir su nuevo mandamiento: <<amaos los unos a los otros como yo os he amado>>
Padre Sergio Ramos

This mini examination of conscience was created by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Come learn about The Examen in a 2-part Introductory workshop on Tuesday, May 29 and June 5 from 7:00 – 8:30 PM.

Did you know... Catholics go door-to-door? At the end of Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus urges the 12 disciples to “Go… Preach the gospel to the whole creation. Make disciples of all nations. I am with you always, to the close of the age.” How does that relate to modern day? At our church, we have a group that visits all of the homes in our local community, inviting our neighbors to consider visiting the church or rekindling their relationship with Jesus. If you are interested in joining this group or would like to find out more about how you could support this group called the Legion of Mary, please contact us at (714) 698-9309 or email: [email protected]

In this intriguing look at one of the most talked-about books in Scripture, Jeff Cavins will
explore Revelation to demonstrate how the Kingdom established by Christ in His Church is intimately connected with the Kingdom of Heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass. You will also learn what all the mysterious figures and images of Revelation represent, as well as what will happen during the Second Coming of Christ, what has already happened, and what is happening now in Salvation History.
Journey through this study with other parishioners this summer! Workbook fee is $35. Stop by the
Paul’s letter to the Galatians speaks directly to the heart of Christians and addresses the
most important question we can ask: “What must we do to be saved?” This fascinating letter reveals the merciful love that God the Father has for us, his children. It speaks of the extraordinary gift of salvation that Jesus has won for us, and it explains how we can unite our-selves to Christ’s redeeming sacrifice through faith and love. Galatians is a study that will reignite your love for God as you learn of the astonishing love God has for you.
Study this together with others this summer! Workbook fee is $35. Stop by the Parish Office to register or email Patty at [email protected]
