God, Who called me from my mother's womb, set me apart
and called me through His grace.
He was pleased to reveal His Son to me,
so that I might proclaim Him to the nations [Gal. 113-14]
In Luke 7.11-17, today's Gospel,
Jesus was moved with pity.
He said:
``Do not weep...
Young man, I say to you:
Arise!''

A GLORIOUS PROCESSION
Jesus truly wanted to walk the streets of our parish last Sunday, Corpus
Christi. With sunshine and a breeze, hundreds of parishioners persevered
for a Procession that lasted 3 hours!
A special thanks to all those who helped make this expression of
Eucharistic Catholic Faith so beautiful:
The Four Altars of Repose
Thank you to the Williams Family; the Guadaloupe Family; the Family of
Jacques Desprez; and the Soto Family - you opened your homes to Jesus,
and His people could praise Him.
The Children
Many adults helped care for all the children who marched and threw rose
petals. Thank you!
The Parish Groups
The Altars took on different Biblical Themes: the English Prayer Group
did the first Altar - ``the Works of Mercy''- where we prayed for the
victimized and underprivileged. The Holy Cross Helpers prepared the
Second Altar - ``the Magnificat'' where we placed our prayers before Mary's
powerful intercession. The Youth Group Rayon d'Espoir prepared ``The
Divine Mercy'' at the Third Altar. We took advantage of this altar to pray
for our Youth. The Hispanic Community prepared the fourth altar - ``The
Good Samaritan'' - where we prayed for the New Evangelization. Back in
church, we read ``God is rich in mercy!''
The Musicians
Our Procession was filled with beautiful music. Thank you to the Choirs;
and to the song leaders - Frélior Charles, Engish Choir members, and Sandra
Roper.

The Parishioners
It is an great joy to gather as a parish in unity with the Body of Christ.
Hundreds of parishioners marched. When we returned to church at

HOW TO RECEIVE COMMUNION WORTHILY
We Catholics have this most wonderful gift: we are
invited to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus whenever
we assist at Mass. If you could think of all the possible
gifts, there is no treasure that could compare with this: the
Body of the Lord Jesus Who became a man to unite us to
God; His Precious Blood which has been shed for our
salvation. No one is worthy to receive Communion - how
is it possible to be worthy to receive the Lord? You could
not merit this gift. We receive Communion because He
gives Himself freely - to rich and poor alike. But, nevertheless, St. Paul writes: "Whoever eats the Bread or
drinks the Cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer
for the Body and Blood of the Lord." (1 Cor. 11.27)
In order to assure the reverent and holy reception of
the Eucharist, the Church has established these norms
which must be obeyed for worthy reception:
1.Only baptized Catholics, in full Communion with the
Church, who have made their First Communion are
invited to receive Holy Communion.
2.You must be morally sure that you are free from grave
sin in order to receive Communion. If you

are aware of having committed any grievous offense
against the Lord, it is necessary to confess your sin in
Confession and receive absolution before daring to
approach the Lord's Table. (If someone is living in a civil
marriage, or living together as a couple without any
marriage, it is necessary to marry in God's eyes, or to
separate before being able to confess and receive
Communion.)
3.As a sign of readiness for the Sacrament, it is necessary to fast for one hour before the reception of Holy
Communion. This fast includes all forms of food and
drink, (gum, candy and soda too) except water and
medicine.
4.Holy Communion is a gift offered to the faithful every
day if they so wish. If you attend a second Mass on
any given day, you may receive a second time. You
may not exceed twice a day.
5.It is also necessary to have proper spiritual preparation
for the worthy reception of Communion. It is
incorrect to be so late for Mass that you have missed
the Consecration, and then just walk up for
Communion.

COMMENT RECEVOIR LA SAINTE COMMUNION DIGNEMENT
Nous-mêmes Catholiques nous avons un don merveilleux: nous sommes invités à recevoir le Corps et le
Sang de Jésus chaque fois que nous assistons à la
Messe. Si vous allez penser à tous les dons possibles, il
n'y a point de trésor qui comparaît à celui-ci: le Corps du
Seigneur Jésus Qui est devenu homme pour nous unir à
Dieu; Son Sang Précieux qui a été répandu pour notre
salut.
Personne n'est digne de recevoir la Communion comment serait-il possible d'être digne de recevoir le Seigneur? L'on ne peut pas mériter ce
cadeau. Nous recevons la Communion parce
qu'Il Se donne gratuitement - aux pauvres et aux
riches. Mais, néanmoins, St-Paul écrit: "Celui
qui mangera le Pain ou boira la Coupe du Seigneur indignement, se rendra coupable envers le
Corps et le Sang du Seigneur." (1 Cor. 11.27)
Pour assurer la réception révérente et sainte
de l'Eucharistie, l'Église a établi des normes qu'il faut
obéir pour la digne réception du Sacrement:
1.Seulement les Catholiques baptisés, en pleine unité
avec l'Église Catholique, qui ont reçu la Première
Communion, sont invités à recevoir la Sainte Communion.
2.Il faut que vous soyez moralement sûr d'être libre

du péché grave pour recevoir la Communion. Si vous
êtes conscient d'avoir commis une offense sérieuse
contre le Seigneur, il est nécessaire de confesser votre
péché dans le Sacrement de la Pénitence et de
recevoir l'absolution avant de vous oser approcher à la
Table du Seigneur. (Si quelqu'un vit dans un mariage
civil ou dans le plaçage, c'est nécessaire de se marier
vraiment ou de se séparer avant la réception de Pénitence et de Communion.)
3. Comme un signe d'être préparé pour le Sacrement, il est nécessaire de jeûner pour une heure
avant la réception de la Sainte Communion. Ce
jeûne inclut toute formes de nourriture et de
boisson (chiclet, bonbons et sodas inclus), sauf
de l'eau et de la médicine.
4. La Sainte Communion est un cadeau offert
aux fidèles tous les jours, si l'on en désire. Si
l'on assiste à une deuxième Messe dans une
journée, l'on pourra recevoir une deuxième fois. L'on ne
pourra pas recevoir plus de deux fois dans une journée.
5. C'est aussi nécessaire d'avoir la préparation spirituelle
correcte pour la digne réception de la Communion.
Il n'est pas correct d'arriver tellement tard pour la
Messe que l'on a perdu même la Consécration, et
puis de s'approcher pour communier.

COMO RECIBIR LA SANTA COMUNIÓN DIGNAMANTE
Nosotros Católicos tenemos el don el más maravilloso:
somos invitados a recibir el Cuerpo y Sangre de Jesús
cuando asistamos a la Misa. Si tú pudieras pensar en
todos los dones posibles en el mundo, no hay un tesoro
que comparece con éste: el Cuerpo del Señor Jesús
Quien Se hizo hombre para unirnos con Dios; Su Sangre
Preciosa que derramó para nuestra salvación.
No hay nadie digno de recibir la Comunión - ¿cómo
sería posible ser digno de recibir al Señor? Tú no puedes
merecer este regalo. Nosotros comulgamos
porque Él Se da libremente - a ricos y pobres
iguales.
Pero, sin embargo, San Pablo
escribe: "Si alguien come el Pan y bebe la
Copa del Señor indignamente, peca contra el
Cuerpo y la Sangre del Señor." (1 Cor. 11.27)
Para asegurar le recepción digna y santa de
la Eucaristía, la Iglesia ha establecido estas
normas que tienen que obedecerse para su
recepción digna:
1.Sólo Católicos bautizados, en Comunión con la Iglesia,
que han hecho su Primera Comunión, pueden
comulgar.
2.Uno tiene que estar moralmente seguro que está

anuncia la comisión de
Ana Dolores Hernández &
Graciela Mendoza-Domínguez
como líderes pastorales laicos
para la parroquia de Holy Cross, Brooklyn
El 19 de mayo de 2016, 66 personas fueron
comisionados para servicio voluntario
a las parroquias en Brooklyn y Queens.
Todos han completado el Programa de Ministerio

libre de pecado grave para recibir la Comunión. Si está
conciente de haber cometido una ofensa grave contra
el Señor, es necesario confesar su pecado en el
Sacramento de la Penitencia y recibir la absolución
antes de atreverse de acercarse a la Mesa del Señor.
(Los que viven en un matrimonio civil, o parejas que
conviven sin casarse deben buscar matrimonio en la
Iglesia o separarse antes de confesarse y comulgar.)
3. Como signo de preparación para el Sacramento, es
necesario ayunar por una hora antes de
recibir la Santa Comunión. Este ayuno incluye
toda forma de comida y bebida (chicle,
bonbones y soda también) eccepto el agua y
la medicina.
4. La Santa Comunión es un regalo ofrecido a
los fieles todos los días si quieren. Si asistes a
una segunda Misa en un día, puedes volver a
comulgar, pero no más de dos veces en un
día.
5.Además, es necesario tener la preparación espiritual
adecuada para comulgar dignamente.
No es
correcto llegar tan tarde para la Misa - habiendo
perdido la Consagración - y pues acercarse para
recibir Comunión.
