DOUBT The desire to be able to prove the existence of a divinity has troubled humanity since human consciousness first be-came aware of the divine. To this very day we are fond of saying that any number of things—from sunsets to hot fudge sundaes—are “proof that there is a God.” We get so caught up in the story of “doubting Thomas” that we fail to notice that today’s Gospel gives us John’s account of Pentecost, the bestowing of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples following the Resurrection. Thomas, evidently, missed out not only on seeing the Risen Christ, but receiving the Holy Spirit as well. This is not to be taken lightly and, perhaps, makes Thomas’ disbelief a bit easier to comprehend. It also makes his professing that Jesus is his Lord and God—the only time the New Testament explicitly refers to Jesus Christ as “God”—more remarkable.
Today’s Readings: Acts 4:32-35, Ps 118, 1 John 5:1-6; John 20:19-31

In the spirit of the Holy Family of Nazareth, the mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish is to be a humble, bilin-gual, pro-life, pro-family Catholic community, joyfully announcing the Gospel. We welcome all to religious edu-cation in the fullness of the Truth entrusted to the Church. We invite all to celebrate with reverence and unity the real presence of Christ in the rites of our Liturgy. We call our members to the humble obedience of faith and to sac-rificial service for the sake of building up the Body of Christ.

P A C The Church is much more than a building. By respecting the life of the tiny unborn at the Memorial and by the consoling and healing ministry that accompanies this, we are building Christ’s Church. By spending Holy Hours before the Blessed Sacrament, we will be building Christ’s Church! You may contribute to this work of God by putting your donations in the offering box in an envelope marked “Adoration Chapel” or simply “Building Fund”, or at www.guadalupebakersfield.org/donate using the button “Give to Our Lady’s Shrine”. Please contribute also with your prayers.
P F P A C
Dear Mary and Joseph, Holy Spouses, as a phase of con-struction for the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe Copa-troness of the Unborn, please guide us to prepare a Chap-el for Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, in imitation of your first adoration of Jesus in the manger of Bethlehem. Amen.
C A P La Iglesia es mucho más que un edificio. Respetando la vida de los pequeños no nacidos en el Memorial y por el ministerio consolador y sanador que lo acompaña, estamos edificando la Iglesia de Cristo. ¡Al pasar las Horas Santas ante el Santísimo Sacramento, estaremos edificando la Iglesia de Cristo!
Puede contribuir a esta obra de Dios poniendo sus dona-ciones en la caja de ofrendas en un sobre marcado como “Capilla de Adoración” o simplemente “Fondo de Cons-trucción”, o en www.guadalupebakersfield.org/donate usando el botón “Give to Our Lady’s Shrine”. Por favor contribuya también con sus oraciones.
O P C A P
Amados María y José, como etapa de la construcción del Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe copatrona de los no nacidos, hágannos el favor de guiarnos a preparar una Capilla de Adoración Perpetua del Santísimo Sacra-mento, a imitación de su primera adoración de Jesús en el pesebre de Belén. Amén.
Oración presentada por León XIII y San Juan Pablo II A ti, bienaventurado San José, acudimos en nuestra tribulación y después de implorar el auxilio de tu Santísima Esposa, solicitamos también confiadamente tu patrocinio. Por aquella caridad con que la Inmaculada Virgen María, Madre de Dios, te tuvo unido y por el paterno amor con que abrazaste al Niño Jesús, humildemente te suplicamos que vuelvas benigno los ojos a la herencia que con su sangre adquirió Jesucristo, y con tu poder y auxilio socorras nuestras necesidades. Protege, providentísimo custodio de la divina familia, la escogida descendencia de Jesucristo; aparta de nosotros toda mancha de error y corrupción; asístenos propicio desde el cielo en esta lucha contra el poder de las tinieblas; y como en otro tiempo libraste al Niño Jesús del inminente peligro de la vida, así ahora defiende a la Iglesia Santa de Dios de las acechanzas de sus enemigos y de toda adversidad, y a cada uno de nosotros protégenos con tu perpetuo patrocinio, para que a ejemplo tuyo y sostenidos con tu auxilio, podamos santamente vivir, piadosamente morir y alcanzar en el cielo la eterna bienaventuranza. Amén.
Prayer Presented by Leo XIII and St. John Paul II To you, O Blessed Joseph, we come in our trials, and having asked the help of your most holy spouse, we confidently ask your patronage also. Through that sacred bond of charity which united you to the Im-maculate Virgin Mother of God and through the fatherly love with which you embraced the Child Jesus, we humbly beg you to look graciously upon the beloved inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by his blood, and to aid us in our necessities with your power and strength. O most provident guardian of the Holy Family, defend the chosen chil-dren of Jesus Christ. Most beloved father, dispel the evil of falsehood and sin. Our most mighty protector, graciously assist us from heaven in our struggle with the powers of darkness. And just as you once saved the Child Jesus from mortal danger, so now defend God’s Holy Church from the snares of her enemies and from all adversity. Shield each one of us by your constant protection, so that, supported by your example and your help, we may be able to live a virtuous life, to die a holy death, and to obtain eternal happiness in heaven. Amen.

W M C ? The most important life decisions need God’s blessing Sexual relations without a lifelong, public commitment
most often end up being hurtful Children deserve to be conceived and raised by two
loving parents in a lifelong home of grace Catholic couples living together without the Sacrament
are in a dangerous state of mortal sin Marriage is a vocation, a call from God, not just seek-
ing one’s pleasure. God gives His grace with the Sacrament of Matrimony Without God it is hard to make marriage last happily Couples married in Church can receive the Lord in
Holy Communion at Sunday Mass and the Sacrament of Confession when needed
Church weddings are the most beautiful and meaning-ful
Marriage is a public commitment affecting family, friends, and the Catholic community
It will be hard to teach one’s children the importance of making good decisions for their relationships while giving them a bad example
The body’s language of total giving expressed by sexu-al relations is a lie without marriage
Those wishing to Marry in Church, Should: Be free of any prior marriage bond Register in the Office and pay an offering of $150 to
attend the following: Six-week marriage prep course, Tuesdays 7-9
pm, July 6 – August 10 Natural Family Planning Course of 3 monthly
classes, Sundays 3:00pm – 6:00 pm, July 25, August 29, and September 26
Life-Giving Love Weekend Workshop October 2 & 3
Make an appointment to meet with one of our priests as soon as possible for an interview and to learn what documents must be obtained.
¿P Q C I ? Las decisiones más importantes de la vida necesitan la
bendición de Dios. Las relaciones sexuales sin un compromiso público de
por vida terminan siendo muy a menudo dolorosas. Los niños merecen ser concebidos y criados por dos
padres amorosos en un hogar de gracia para toda la vida.
Las parejas católicas que viven juntas sin el Sacramento se encuentran en un peligroso estado de pecado mortal.
El matrimonio es una vocación, un llamado de Dios, no solo buscar el placer.
Dios da Su gracia con el Sacramento del Matrimonio Sin Dios es difícil hacer que el matrimonio dure
felizmente. Las parejas casadas en la Iglesia pueden recibir al
Señor en la Sagrada Comunión en la Misa dominical y el Sacramento de la Confesión cuando sea necesario.
Las bodas en la iglesia son las más hermosas y significativas.
El matrimonio es un compromiso público que afecta a la familia, los amigos y la comunidad católica.
Será difícil enseñarles a los hijos la importancia de tomar buenas decisiones para sus relaciones y darles un mal ejemplo.
El lenguaje corporal de la entrega total expresada por las relaciones sexuales es una mentira sin matrimonio.
Los que quieren casarse por la Iglesia deben: Estar libres de todo vinculo matrimonial anterior Registrarse en la oficina y pagar una ofrenda de $150
para asistir a lo siguiente: Curso de preparación prematrimonial, los 6
jueves del 8 de julio hasta el 12 de agosto Curso de Planificación Familiar Natural de 3
clases mensuales, sábados 10 de julio, 14 de agosto y 11 de septiembre de 1:30 pm hasta 4:30 pm
Fin de Semana del Taller La Familia Natural Vive Mejor el 15-16 de mayo
Hacer una cita con uno de nuestros sacerdotes tan pronto posible para una entrevista y para saber cuáles documentos se han de conseguir.
