FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER MAY 03, 2015 Mass Intentions Today’s Gospel Reflection 1st Reading: Acts 9:26-31 * Psalm 22:26-28, 30-32 * 2nd Reading: 1 Jn 3:18-24 * Gospel: Jn 15:1-8 BEARING FRUIT “Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” John’s words come to us on this day when the Gospel passage presents us with the great image of the vine and the branches. Jesus uses the image as a warning to those who have begun to distance themselves from the way of the Lord. One of the ways this happens is when we love God and others “in word or speech” instead of “in deed and truth.” What does it mean for us to “remain in Christ”? In an extension of the metaphor, the Lord gives us an example. If we remain in him, we will bear much fruit. As the branches, we draw strength from Christ who is the vine. This strength enables us to bear fruit—to do the work of true discipleship. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. . “Let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth.” — 1 John 3:18 PARA DAR FRUTO “Hijos míos: No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras”. Las palabras de Juan nos llegan hoy cuando el pasaje del Evangelio nos presenta con la gran imagen del viñedo y las ramas. Jesús usa la imagen como un aviso a los que se han empezado a distanciar de la senda del Señor. Esto sucede cuando amamos a Dios y a otros “con palabras o dichos” y no con “la verdad y las obras”. ¿Qué significa para nosotros “permanecer en Cristo”? El Señor nos da un ejemplo con la extensión de la metáfora. Si permanecemos en él, daremos mucho fruto. Como ramas sacamos la fuerza de Cristo que es la viña. Esa fuerza nos facilita dar fruto –hacer el trabajo de los verdaderos discípulos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. “No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras.” — 1 Juan 3:18 “It is not the actual physical exertion that counts towards a one’s progress, nor the nature of the task, but by the spirit of faith with which it is undertaken.” —St. Irenaeus READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: Page 2 Acts 14:5-18; Ps 115:1-4, 15-16; Jn 14:21-26 Acts 14:19-28; Ps 145:10-13ab, 21; Jn 14:27-31a Acts 15:1-6; Ps 122:1-5; Jn 15:1-8 Acts 15:7-21; Ps 96:1-3, 10; Jn 15:9-11 Acts 15:22-31; Ps 57:8-10, 12; Jn 15:12-17 Acts 16:1-10; Ps 100:1b-3, 5; Jn 15:18-21 Acts 10:25-36, 34-35, 44-48; Ps 98:1-4; 1 Jn 4:7-10 or 1 Jn 4:11-16; Jn 15:9-17 or Jn 17:11b-19 MAY 2015 02 Sat 03 Sun 04 Mon 05 Tue 06 Wed 07 Thurs 08 Fri 09 Sat 5:00pm 7:00am 8:30am 10:00am 11:30am 1:00pm 4:30pm El Shaddai San Diego Chapter—thanksgiving † Estanislao Delos Reyes † Elvira Cervantes † Edwin Quebada † Deacon Jun Santos 6:00pm 7:30pm 8:00am 8:00am † Demetria Quindoza—12th Death Anniversary PRO-POPULO † Michael Wasko, Jr. † Wook Bok Seng 7:00pm 8:00am 8:00am 8:00am 7:00pm 8:00am † Conrado & † Cirila Besana † Arturo May, Sr.—death anniversary † EstanislaMatt Willkie Ligaya Sy—healing & comfort † Maria & † Deogracias Batenga † Anita Chan Tan Florencio & Guadalupe Luna—58th wedding anniv Gloria Floss—birthday thanksgiving If you are unable to get Mass intentions because the Parish calendar is booked, you may purchase a candle at the “Divine Mercy” or “Our Lady of Guadalupe” shrines in our church.

MICHAEL CHURCH PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO Dear Parishioners and friends, PASTORS’ MESSAGE Month of May...Month of Mary! The month of May is the “month which the piety of the faithful has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady - to Mary, the Mother of God.” It is the occasion for a “moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world [pay] to the Queen of Heaven. During this month Christians, both in church and in the privacy of their homes, offer up to Mary, the Virgin Mother, more fervent and loving acts of homage and veneration; and it is the month in which a greater abundance of God’s merciful gifts comes down to us from our Mother’s throne. We are delighted and consoled by this pious custom associated with the month of May, which pays honor to the Blessed Virgin and brings such rich benefits to the Christian people. Since Mary is rightly to be regarded as the way by which we are led to Christ, the person who encounters Mary cannot help but encounter Christ likewise. For what other reason do we continually turn to Mary except to seek the Christ in her arms, to seek our Savior in her, through her, and with her? To Him men are to turn amid the anxieties and perils of this world, urged on by duty and driven by the compelling needs of their heart, to find a haven of salvation, a transcendent fountain of life. (Encyclical of Blessed Pope Paul VI on Prayers During May for Preservation of Peace, April 29, 1965) Let us turn to Mary, the Mother of God and our Mother, in all our needs. Let us pray that we will be able to imbibe and follow the examples of Our Lady … that of having a heart to pray, a heart to share, a heart to serve, a heart to witness, and a heart to build bridges. THROUGH MARY, TO JESUS! Fr. Bernard Ranoa & Fr. Manny Ediza P.S. Remember your own mother. Include her in our Novena for Mothers which will begin next Sunday, May 10 (Mother’s Day) through May 18.

LIVING GOD’S WORD. Jesus tells us: “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). Which words of His are calling you to life? Ask Him to help you to trust in the Father and surrender to what the Father wills for you. Copyright © 2014, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. Page 4 Religious Education Buena Algoso (619)470-2292 GOD’S WORD TODAY. The familiar passage proclaimed in today’s Gospel reminds us that we are branches on the vine and the vine is Jesus Christ. At the moment of our baptism we were grafted onto that vine, and from that moment on much has been expected of us. The closer we are to Christ the vine the more others will learn to recognize Christ through our own actions. To find out what those actions need to be, look no further than today’s second reading. There Saint John tells us to love one another just as Christ commanded us. As you sit in church today, look around and see the other grafts on the vine— those sitting around you. Pray that the vine and its branches will be strengthened so that Christ’s love will be shown to others all the more. - From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD. Hearing Jesus’ words, “I am the vine, you are the branches,” sounds comforting at first. But then comes “and my Father is the vine grower” (John 15:1). The task of the vine grower is to prune and pruning can be tricky. The danger is cutting the main vine and not the branches, or cutting the branches that carry this year’s fruit and not the old ones from last year. But Jesus tells us that it is the Father who is out there with the pruning shears, not some careless hired hand. He is cutting away the dead wood, and cutting back the good branches so they bear even more fruit. Nevertheless, you might think, who wants to be pruned, even metaphorically? Who wants God snipping away? It’s hard to be pruned. There is a dying in that. But that is the ongoing story of Easter: dying and rising, pruning and bearing more fruit. God is there pruning us to bring out life, to make us life bearers and life givers. The Father continues snipping away, separating us from our selfishness, our self-centeredness, and all those things we hold on to that do not give us life: resentments, old grievances, desires for getting even. God is about life, committed to an abundance of life—not just life today but eternal life. That’s the divine plan. Are we part of it? - James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
