2 The Ascension of the Lord Page 2 COMMISSIONED TO LIVE IN THE WORLD Seventh Sunday of Easter May 13, 2018 If God so loved us, we also must love one another. 1 John 4:11 In today s scriptures we hear two different stories about commissioning. In the Acts of the Apostles Peter leads the assembly in prayer that the Lord will choose and commission the person to replace Judas among the Twelve. In the Gospel Jesus prays that his chosen disciples might be consecrated, or made holy. Jesus does not ask his Father to keep the disciples separate from the world, but instead sends them out into the world. While we might think that holy people are set apart from the world, we cannot hear today s scriptures without realizing that God s holy, chosen people are commissioned to live in the midst of the world, where they can reveal the love of God that makes the entire world holy.

4 The Ascension of the Lord Page 4 THE ASENSION OF THE LORD INTO HEAVEN On this Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord into Heaven, we need to remind ourselves that even though the Risen Lord physically left us on that first Ascension, He remains still with us. That is why the angels ask the Disciples why they are wasting time looking up, trying to catch a last glimpse of Jesus. They are told to look around, to see, to speak and to bring His living presence to the world. And so, evangelization is born. And now it is up to us to do the same. So, today`s feast is not so much an ending as it is a beginning. The Ascension was the close of Jesus` physical ministry on Earth, but it was not the end of His ministry. That is where His followers and Apostles continued, and where we need to continue today. In his exhortation "Evangelii Gaudium", Pope Francis reminds us of this call to evangelization: "Anyone who has experienced God`s saving love does not need much time or lengthy training to go out and proclaim that love." Discipleship-evangelization are calls to action, to continue Christ`s presence on Earth. Today, May 13th, we celebrate Mother`s Day throughout the United States. It is a time to thank or remember our own mothers. We celebrate Mother`s Day not only because of the things our mothers have done for us, but their loving care that is the most basic image of God`s grace. For many people, our mothers or the women who mothered us, are the most important persons in our lives and remain important even as we have our own children. We should also remember all the women religious who may have served us and our Church around the world. Peace!! Fr. Innocent ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONGRATULATIONS First Holy Communion Congratulations and many blessings to the following First Communion students, who made their First Communion last weekend, May 5, 2018 Ryan Alonso-Santamaria, Nicolas Al-Shaikh, Brayden Barlics, Valentina Castulo Medinia, Britany Catarino Estrada, Nicole Claudio Aviles, Carlos Claudio Perez, Elidia Claudio Perez, Matthew Clifton, Ryleigh Debono-Goble, Audrey Decker, Martina Diaz-Claus, Matthew Eichhorn, Kevin Estrada Martinez, Dayanara Estrada Santoyo, Christopher Flores, Diana Flores, Angeline Galat, Bella Galat, Gavin Gnech, Melinda Gonzalez, Aby Guzman, Ariana Guzman, Thomas Huckins, Jazlyn Imsdahl, Alejandro Lopez Triana, Maximilian Manley, Magnus McManus, Maura McManus, Robert Orgain, Lucas Pellow, Allie Porter, Nathalia Rodriguez, Joshua Roman Arial, Charles Russo Gallegos, Briseis Schumacher, Molly Smallenberger, Hillary Soto, Aidan Villamor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OUR FAMILY Please pray for those who have passed through death into new life with Christ. especially Lena Flocchini.

5 May 13, 2018 Page 5 Séptimo Domingo de Pascua 13 de mayo de 2018 Si Dios nos ha amado tanto, también nosotros debemos amarnos los unos a los otros. 1 Juan 4:11 ENVIADOS PARA VIVIR EN EL MUNDO En las lecturas de hoy escuchamos dos relatos diferentes sobre los que son enviados. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles Pedro guía a la asamblea en oración para que el Señor elija y designe a la persona que reemplazará a Judas entre los Doce. En el Evangelio Jesús reza por que los discípulos que eligió sean consagrados o santificados. Jesús no le pide a su Padre que proteja a los discípulos del mundo, sino que los envía al mundo. Aunque pensemos que las personas santas están alejadas del mundo, no podemos escuchar las lecturas de hoy sin comprender que las personas santas elegidas por Dios son enviadas a vivir en el mundo, en donde pueden revelar el amor de Dios que santifica al mundo entero. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura Los Apóstoles eligen a Matías para remplazar a Judas y seguir con doce miembros (Hechos 1:15-17, 20a, 20c-26). Salmo El Señor puso en el cielo tu trono (Salmo 103 [102]). Segunda lectura La persona que vive en amor vive en Dios y Dios vive en ella (1 Juan 4:11-16). Evangelio Padre, cuida en tu nombre a los que me has dado para que sean uno (Juan 17:11b-19). Salmo responsorial: Leccionario Hispanoamericano Dominical 1970, Comisión Episcopal Española.

Muchos países Latinoamericanos celebran esta fiesta. En un continente donde la agricultura es tan importante no hay que sorprenderse de la importancia de este santo español del siglo XII. Además san Isidro se parece a mucha gente de Latinoamérica: es de padres campesinos, de familia pobre y religiosa, no fue a la escuela, quedó huérfano y se empleó como For more information & Tickets visit: Or call Sarah peón de campo, ayudando en la agricultura. Se casó con María la cual también llego a ser santa. Tuvieron un hijo. Los tres fueron reconocidos como piadosos y generosos. Gracias a Dios, la santidad se encuentra Or Suzie en todo tipo de persona. Los casados y padres y madres de familia también llegan a ser santos. Después de su muerte en 1130 se descubrió que su cuerpo estaba milagrosamente incorrupto. En 1622 el Papa canonizó a este humilde campesino junto con algunos grandes religiosos como santa Teresa, san Ignacio y san Francisco Javier. Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright J. S.
