At Our Parish
Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. Thanks to President Harry S. Truman, it’s a day to pay special tribute to the men and women of the Armed Forces. President Truman led the effort to establish a holiday in order for citizens to unite and to honor our military heroes for their patriotic ser-vice in support of the United States of America.
Armed Forces Day be celebrated on Saturday, May 16, 2020
The History of Armed Forces Day
Although, originally, there were single day celebrations for each branch of the military, the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force; this format changed on August 21, 1949, when Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of Armed Forces Day. Stemming from the unification of the Armed Forces under the Department of Defense, the annual celebration now commemorates all branches of the military during one solitary day.
The first official Armed Forces Day took place on May 20, 1950, and was themed “Teamed for Defense.” In honor of the special day, B-36 Bombers flew over state capitals, a march was led by more than 10,000 veterans and troops in Washington, D.C., and over 33,000 people participated in a New York City pa-rade.
In addition, the first Armed Forces Day also played an essential part in educating society and expanding public knowledge of the military and the role they play in the community. Therefore, it wasn’t only a means to honor those who serve or who have served in the military, but also a way to showcase its top of the line equipment and abilities used to protect those in our country.
Interestingly, the marked celebration isn’t just limited to the United States. Other countries who honor this victorious day include Armenia, Australia and New Zealand, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Burma, Canada, Chile, China, Cuba, Egypt, Finland, France, Georgia, Guatemala, Hungary, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Lebanon, Mali, Malaysia, Mauritania, Mexico, North Korea, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, and Vi-etnam.
In 1961, John F. Kennedy declared Armed Forces Day a national holiday. It’s celebrated on the third Sat-urday of every May and is exhibited by exercises, parades, and receptions that highlight and honor our amazing military and all of its strength.
An excerpt taken from an article written in the New York Post on May 17, 1952, sums up Armed Forces Day’s utmost importance, “It is our most earnest hope that those who are in positions of peril, that those who have made exceptional sacrifices, yes, and those who are afflicted with plain drudgery and boredom, may somehow know that we hold them in exceptional esteem. Perhaps if we are a little more conscious of our debt of honored affection they may be a little more aware of how much we think of them.

VOCATION Roman Catholics in the United States spend a good deal of time speaking of “vocation” and the manner in which each of us discerns our vocation for life. In today’s apostolic letter, howev-er, Peter gives us the “cornerstone” of our vocation, the descrip-tion of what each of us is called to first and foremost by our bap-tism. He describes our vocation as “a chosen race, a royal priest-hood, a holy nation, a people of [God’s] own, so that you may announce the praises” of Christ, who called us out of darkness into light (1 Peter 2:9). All of us, no matter what path our life’s vocation may take us down, have been chosen by God, made holy, and anointed as priests in the high priesthood of Christ through baptism. All of this, so that we may announce the praises of Christ. Vocation is given for proclamation at home, in the workplace—wherever life takes us—in service, in word, and in sacrament. Copyright © J.

My Baptismal Vows
This Easter season, spend some time each week pondering the questions below to discern how your ordinary world might better reflect the Baptis-mal promises you renewed on Easter Sunday. Do you renounce Satan? And all his works? And all his empty show? Do you believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth? WEEK FIVE: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered death and was buried, rose again from the dead, and is seated at the right hand of the Father? Because of Jesus’ incarnation, death, and resurrection, everyone on earth is invited to the heavenly banquet. What does this mean for your interactions with those on the margins of your ordinary life: philosophical/political opponents, those of other cultures or religions? How can you better honor them as bearers of God’s image?.

SAN ISIDRO LABRADOR (1070-1130) 15 de mayo
Isidro nació en Madrid y toda su vida trabajó como campesino cerca de su ciudad natal. Siendo campe-sino trabajó siempre con el mismo patrón, quien lo explotó y sometió a largos jornales de trabajo. Aun así, Isidro se daba tiempo para asistir a la Santa Misa y hacer oración a lo largo del día. Para él habían tres amo-res indiscutibles: Dios, su familia y la tierra. Siendo muy pobres, él y su esposa María, fueron capaces de ayudar a otros pobres, de tal suerte que la gente llegaba a su casa de piedra por algo más que pan. De hecho, los mismos animales encontraban en ese hogar un lugar de descanso. En los pueblos de América Latina, campesinos por naturaleza, se le considera a Isidro como el patrono de los campesinos y este día se hace una gran procesión con su imagen para pedir a Dios que bendiga la semilla y los instrumentos de trabajo que se-rán utilizados en el período de cosecha. San Isidro enseña que la explotación es injusta y que aun así, es po-sible amar al explotador. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Quinto Domingo de Pascua 10 de mayo de 2020 “Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie va al Padre si no es por mí”. — Juan 14:6
VOCACIÓN Los católicos en los Estados Unidos pasan mucho tiempo hablando de “vocación” y la manera en que cada uno de nosotros discierne nuestra vocación en la vida. Sin embargo, en la carta apostólica de hoy, Pe-dro nos da la “piedra angular” de nuestra vocación, lo primero y principal en el llamado de cada uno de no-sotros a raíz de nuestro Bautismo. Él describe nuestra vocación como “estirpe elegida, sacerdocio real, na-ción consagrada a Dios, pueblo de su propiedad para que proclamen las obras maravillosas de aquél [Cristo] quien nos llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admi-rable” (1 Pedro 2:9). Todos nosotros, sin importar la senda por la cual nuestra vocación de vida nos lleve, hemos sido elegidos por Dios, hechos santos, y ungi-dos como sacerdotes en el alto sacerdocio de Cristo por nuestro Bautismo. Todo esto, para que podamos anunciar las maravillas de Cristo. Se nos da una voca-ción para que proclamemos mediante el servicio, la palabra y el sacramento dentro del hogar, en el trabajo y dondequiera que nos lleve la vida. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
