Share The Hope
The readings for today's celebration of the Ascension of the Lord once again remind us that as Christians we are people of hope. In the second reading Saint Paul eloquently exhorts the Ephesians to enlighten their hearts so that they will know the hope and glory that come from being people who place their trust in the Lord Jesus. In the story of the Ascension, recounted in the first reading, the Lord Jesus assures the disciples that the Holy Spirit's power will come upon them. Finally, in the Gospel, the Lord lets the disciples know that their mission is to spread the hope of the gospel to all the nations. This wonderful feast keeps our eyes focused on the hope in which we were grounded on the day of our baptism. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
BE KIND ANYWAY.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
SUCCEED ANYWAY.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
BUILD ANYWAY.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
BE HAPPY ANYWAY.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
DO GOOD ANYWAY.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
GIVE THE BEST YOU’VE GOT ANYWAY. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and
God;
it was never between you and them anyway. -Found on Mother Teresa’s Wall
A Gift of Prayer
Mass Cards are gifts of love and prayers to honor the life and love of a dear
one through the celebration of the Holy Mass. They are a wonderful way to
show your friendship to someone who is celebrating a birthday, anniversary,
marriage, or going through a difficult time in their life. Give the gift of
prayer in times of joy and in times of suffering. Cards may be obtained at the
church office during office hours.

solemnidad de la ascension del seÑor
(Ciclo A)
Fin de Semana Pasado 28 de mayo del 2017
Asistencia: Adultos Niños: Total:
Segunda Colecta para este fin de semana 5/28/17 Embracing Our Mision
Desde el escritorio del
Padre Juan Antonio…
Estimados Parroquianos,
El mismo Jesús que os ha dejado para
subir al cielo, volverá como le habéis
visto marcharse. Esta afirmación de los
Hechos de los apóstoles nos ofrece una
síntesis profunda de la liturgia en la
solemnidad de la Ascensión. Jesús sube
al cielo con su cuerpo glorificado. Deja a
los apóstoles una misión clara y
comprometedora: Id y haced discípulos a
todos los pueblos. Se trata de ir hasta los
confines de la tierra para que resuene el
pregón de Dios. Se trata de anunciar sin
descanso cuál es la altura, la anchura y la
profundidad del amor de Dios, que se ha
manifestado en Cristo Jesús. El apóstol
será pues el hombre del “amor más
grande”. El hombre consciente de que el
Señor,
que
hoy
asciende
entre
aclamaciones, volverá. ¡Volverá sin falta
y lleno de Gloria! Así pues, se trata en
último término de comprender cuál es la
esperanza a la que hemos sido llamados
comprender cuál es la herencia que Dios
prepara a los que lo aman.
Recordatorio:
Los niños y niñas que hicieron
la primera comunión pueden anotarse para
servir en el altar en la misa de domingo a la
1:45pm.
O el dia viernes a las 7:00 pm.
VII Domingo de Pascua, Ciclo A
Hch 1, 1-11 Efesios 1,17-23 Mateo 28,16-20
El Señor subió a los cielos y se sienta a la derecha del
padre. Cristo con su cuerpo glorificado en la resurrección
sube al cielo y se sienta a la derecha del Padre. Él nos
precede en nuestro peregrinar hacia la casa del Padre. La
naturaleza humana de Cristo es llevada al cielo. El
catecismo de la Iglesia Católica nos instruye sobre el
particular: “El Cuerpo de Cristo fue glorificado desde el
instante de su Resurrección como lo prueban las
propiedades nuevas y sobrenaturales, de las que desde
entonces su cuerpo disfruta para siempre (cf.Lc 24, 31; Jn
20, 19. 26). Pero durante los cuarenta días en los que él
come y bebe familiarmente con sus discípulos (cf. Hch 10,
41) y les instruye sobre el Reino(cf. Hch 1, 3), su gloria aún
queda velada bajo los rasgos de una humanidad ordinaria
(cf. Mc 16,12; Lc 24, 15; Jn 20, 14_15; 21, 4)

Domingo de Pentecostes: ciclo AHch 2,1-11 1 Cor 12,3-7.12-13 Jn 20, 19-23
La fiesta de Pentecostés. El pentecostés hebreo
recordaba el día de la Alianza del Monte Sinaí. Era el
nacimiento del pueblo de Israel y el día solemne en que
recibió las tablas de la ley. Era la fiesta de la Alianza
entre Dios y el pueblo elegido. (Ex19,3_8a.16_20b).
Jesucristo quiso que en este mismo día naciese el nuevo
pueblo de Dios, su Iglesia. Al igual que en el Sinaí hay
una teofanía con truenos y fuego(EV); y se efectúa una
nueva creación, pues Jesús en el Evangelio sopla sobre
los discípulos como Dios Padre sopló sobre el cuerpo
inerte de Adán dándole vida. Los discípulos en este
momento quedan constituídos en testimonios veraces y
valientes de la Pascua del Señor, anunciadores de su
misterio y de la nueva ley del amor, proclamada por
Cristo en su Evangelio de salvación. Llega así el
cumplimiento de la Pascua del Señor: los frutos de la
redención por medio de la muerte y resurrección de
Cristo se concretan en la efusión del Espíritu Santo.
Esta es la ra.
Los Sacramentos Celebrados con fe…

Estatua de Señora de la Paz
La parroquia de San José ha iniciado un proyecto para crear un jardín de oración en honor de nuestra Señora de la paz (patrona de El Salvador). El jardín de oración estará al lado del pasadizo entre la iglesia y la oficina parroquial y contará con una estatua de nuestra Señora de la paz en un pedestal, bancas, una fuente y áreas verdes. Un sobre para donaciones especiales estarán disponibles en el boletín en la parte trasera de la iglesia y en la oficina. Aquellos que contribuyan para financiar este proyecto podrán poner sus nombres o los nombre de los que ellos designen en una placa conmemorativa en la entrada al jardín de oración. Los sobres los pueden poner en la canasta de la colecta los domingos o pueden llevarlos a la oficina parroquial.
