3 A message from Fr. Tony TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY Can you imagine a world such as the one put before us in today s scripture readings? Communi es of believers everywhere would support and encourage one another and be iden fied as Chris ans by the way they love each other. It would be a world with no tears, no death and mourning, no crying out in pain. Behold, I make all things new, we hear the Son of God say in the second reading from the book of Revela on (21:5). Is this world of John s vision only imaginary? Are these faithful followers for whom Jesus prayed only a savior s dream? Today they are put before us as a worthy goal. How much closer can we come to this vision of a true Chris an community in our lives today? Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony VERDADERA COMUNIDAD CRISTIANA Te puedes imaginar un mundo tal como nos lo presenta las lecturas bíblicas de hoy? Comunidades de fieles por todas partes que se apoyan y se animan unas a otras y se iden fican como cris anos por el amor que se enen unos a otros. Sería un mundo sin lágrimas, sin muerte ni luto, sin gritos de dolor. Ahora todo lo hago nuevo, oímos decir al Hijo de Dios en la segunda lectura del libro del Apocalipsis (21:5). Este mundo de la visión de Juan, es sólo un mundo imaginario? Y esos fieles seguidores de Jesús por los cuales él reza, son un mero sueño del salvador? Hoy se presentan ante nosotros como una meta valiosa. Cómo podemos acercarnos cada vez más a esta visión de una verdadera comunidad cris ana en nuestra vida de hoy? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. On behalf of Fr. Tony, Fr. Prasanna, Fr. Krikor, Fr. Raymond and the Fiesta San Fernando Commi ee we would like to thank everyone who helped in making this years Fiesta San Fernando a great success all your hard help was and is always greatly appreciated.

There are s ll openings for the May Marriage Encounter Weekend (May 13-15) in San Antonio. Please contact Rob and Cris Johnson now at or register now at mesanantonio.org TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The French Revolution swept the church in France away in an astonishing way, stripping the nation of every possible vestige of the faith, not merely shuttering churches, but using them as staging areas for pagan raves and romps. While millions of faithful simply went underground and hung on for the ride, even the seven-day week was demolished along with the names of the months. What emerged from the chaos was the Napoleonic Code of 1792 governing church life, and therefore marriage law in France, French Canada, and elsewhere. The code makes civil marriage mandatory for all citizens. In practice, when the faithful marry, they go first to the City Hall. There, the mayor performs the civil marriage, usually accompanied by a patriotic speech about the duties of the citizen, particularly in the rearing of children. Then, typically after a lunch, everyone goes off to change into more festive attire for the wedding liturgy, featuring consent, the exchange of rings, and the nuptial blessing. Sadly, only a minority of citizens today celebrate even the civil form of the rite, and a fraction of those continue on to the church. For those who do celebrate the liturgy of marriage, however, there is near certainty that the spouses are active worshipers, and that they will later present their children for baptism. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Fi h Sunday of Easter April 24, 2016 Behold, God s dwelling is with the human race. Revela on 21:3
