FAZtor s Notes By Fr. Arnold Zamora I have always envisioned a May Crowning at our school, preceded by a Living Rosary. It became a reality last Wednesday when at least 130 students from our Holy Name school took turns in reading a verse, introducing a mystery and praying the Our Father's and Hail Mary s and all the other prayers of the Rosary. Students also brought flowers and offered them to our Mother Mary. Thanks to our school principal Dr. Natalie Cirigliano for organizing the spiritual event that we hope will become a tradition here in our parish. It was a beautiful way of starting the month of May, a month dedicated to honoring the Blessed Mother. May and October have been named as Marian months or months that we honor the Blessed Mother Mary. October is more of a Rosary month, since the feast of the Holy Rosary falls on October 7 th. Honoring Mary during the month of Mary has early roots. Way back in the late 5 th century, there were three Marian feasts celebrated during the month of May. In 1945, in celebration of the Marian Year of the church, Pope Pius XII declared May 31 st as the feast of the Queenship of Mary although this feast has now been moved to August 22 nd. May 31 st is now the feast of the Visitation of Mary. The month of May as a Marian month was further affirmed by Mary s first apparition at Fatima (May 13, 1917). Mother s Day, although not a religious feast or celebration, falls in the month of May. Remember, Jesus also has a mother. Jesus Christ didn't just appear as an adult, or fall from the sky. He was born of a woman, and had a human mother. Jesus honored Mary as his mother and showed her the love of a devoted son. It is fitting then that we celebrate Mother s day on the month to honor our Mother Mary. A Jesuit friend of mine told me this joke: A man walked up to a Franciscan and Jesuit and asked, "How many novenas must you say to get a Mercedes Benz?" The Franciscan asked, What s a Mercedes Benz? The Jesuit asked, What s a novena? I hope you won t ask what s a Rosary? But if you don t know what the Rosary is, join our Rosary Group led by Carmen Palarca. They will be praying the Rosary every evening this month at 6:30 In the Pastoral Chapel. You can honor Mama Mary with them. As we grow old, realization about life becomes deeper. Problems get bigger, situations become more complicated Sometimes we wish we could go back to a time when the only man in our life was our father, 0ur only best friend was our mother. And any pain could be healed by just a kiss and a candy. But reality is there's no turning back time. Let us learn from the past, live in the present, and entrust the future to GOD's greater plan. MARRIED COUPLES. Give your marriage a well deserved vacation.

FAITH FORMATION * CATECHESIS * PASTORAL OUTREACH * Director: Sr. Cristina Ovejera, FdCC Crisfdcc2016@yahoo.com (415) 664-8590 EASTER REFLECTION May is the month of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Spring flowers, and all things fresh and lovely. It is a time for long walks in gentle breezes, planting gardens, smelling sweet flowers May is the moment when God dances with us. Pentecost will be celebrated this month. It brings together wind and fire. These two ancient symbols bring a message of passion and power that herald the stirrings of new spiritual energy It is a time to encounter both wind and fire as a holy anointing. -Jeanne Hunt, Celebrating Saints and Seasons, 2010 Feast of St. Magdalene of Canossa The Foundress of the Canossian Family of Canossian Sisters, Fathers and Brothers, Lay Canossians, Secular Missionaries and Lay Volunteers. Her charism passed on to her daughters and sons is, to make Jesus Christ known that he may be loved, in a spirit of Charity and Humility. Her spirituality is centered in the contemplation of Jesus Crucified and Mary, Mother of charity at the foot of the cross, as the expression of God s greatest Love for Humankind. The Canossian Sisters and Lay Canossians invite parishioners on St. Magdalene s feast day, this Tuesday, May 8, at the 9:00AM Mass in the chapel of the Pastoral, and a reception following immediately in the dining room.

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER May 6, 2018 The Italian film, Life is Beautiful vividly portrays the truth of today s Gospel. It shows a father convincing his five-year-old son that the concentration camp is an elaborate game that the Nazis had invented to test the Italians. Some members of the Jewish community criticized this film because they claimed it made light of the holocaust. Writer and director, Roberto Benigni, however, argued that the heart of the film lies in the fact that most parents will do anything to spare their children the reality of evil. Most parents who have seen and wept through the film know exactly what he s talking about. And if parents could take such risks and go to such lengths for their children, how much more has God done for us in Christ Jesus. We are the only world religion to believe that our God took our form and died out of love for us so that we might understand the love God has for us, and the love we are called to have for each other. It isn t, however, just any old love Christ calls us to practice. It s not about a fleeting feeling or having a warm fuzzy inside. Jesus tells us today that the character of Christian love is the degree to which it s sacrificial. This is a challenging way of working out who we really love, isn t it? The people we love are those for whom we are prepared to sacrifice something of ourselves, maybe everything. If that s the case we could decide to stop telling people we don t love that we love them. The goal of the Christian life is to love everyone, but until we achieve that, the more we lie about love the more we lower its currency. It s perfectly acceptable to like, enjoy, be fond of, respect, admire, and be grateful to others, and not love them. There are a very few people for whom most of us would be prepared to lay down our lives. This criteria sorts out our intimates fairly quickly. We could also decide to stop saying we love things, animals, ideas, or organizations which cannot love us back. Human beings can only truly love people. Jesus did not die for an ideology or an institution. He was put to death because of his uncompromising love for all humanity everywhere. If we find ourselves saying we love our pets, house, car, job, our ideology, even our Church more than we love other human beings, then we re in trouble. That s what I like best about the model of loving Jesus gives us in today s Gospel. Just when we might expect to find him using the analogy of a family, he talks about us being his friends. Sometimes we can hear people lament that they are stuck with their families, and that they prefer their friends. It s an instructive moment, usually born out of a bitter and unloving history. We choose our friends, and the strength of any particular friendship is usually found in how we know their history and story, and they know ours, in the way we give them time, attention, and affection. A true friendship is mutual. Jesus loves us, his friends, enough to know us, be available to us, challenge and forgive us. And his love is mutual. The only thing stopping us from having a deeper relationship with Christ is our desire for it. But Jesus also shows how friends are prepared to give their lives for one another. That s what we celebrate here each Sunday, that Jesus the Lord showed the quality and care of his love for us so that we might be empowered to go out and enable others to know and experience his love in the joyful way we sacrifice ourselves for them. No one promised us that the Christian life would be easy. All we have is our brother Jesus and all our friends, our family in faith, to support us in every loving sacrifice we make. Richard Leonard SJ. ACE COLLECTION This Sunday s Second Collection is the ACE Collection for the benefit of our Parish School. Your generosity is very much appreciated by our school children.

Lectio Divina Read: Cornelius falls at the feet of Peter, but Peter lifts him up and declares their mutual equality. John meditates on what love truly is that we have been loved by God. Jesus declares his disciples to be friends and invites them to share his love and share it with others. Reflect: One of the core temptations of human beings is the desire to create difference from others, placing oneself on a pedestal and, consequently demand adoration and awe. Given that we also have the impulse to adore and worship, it has led many to become super human god-men in the world. Peter resists this temptation and declares equality with Cornelius and his gentle brethren. In doing so, he truly imitates the incarnational love of God who discards difference and embraces similarity and equality with humanity (cf. Phil. 2:6-8). And on such common ground, love is born. Christ would rather have us love him more as a familiar friend than adore him as a distant deity. Such love of God would also open our hearts to love our brethren on equal footing. Pray: Pray for the gift of seeing common ground with others so that you can love them as your own. Act: Reconnect lovingly with someone who has been estranged from you for long. From: Fr.
