Confirmación
Together in Mission 2016 is a pr ogr am that keeps many of the needy par ishes and
schools in our Archdiocese open to serve their communities and fulfill the important mission
of the Church. Without the aid provided by Together in Mission, many
churches and schools in underprivileged areas would need to close.
If you have already made a pledge for the 2016 together in Mission campaign, thank you
for your support, if you have not done so, we encourage you to make a pledge. The envelopes are located in the entrance of the church or in the Parish Center Office. Any information that is submitted to the Campaign is not sharing with any other organization,
God Bless you!
PARISH GOAL:
$53,500.00
AMOUNT PLEDGED LAST WEEK:
$51.801.00
Every pledge is important, especially yours!
“Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful’ (Lk 6:36).”
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.
SPIRITUAL READING
You will not see anyone who is truly striving after spiritual advancement who is not given
to spiritual reading.

TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Paul and Barnabas continue their travels, spreading the faith and

(Acts 14:21-27).
Gospel — As Jesus has loved us, so we must love one another
(John 13:31-33a, 34-35).
FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
TRUE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Can you imagine a world such as the one put before us in today’s scripture readings?
Communities of believers everywhere would support and encourage one another and be
identified as Christians 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 Revelation (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 Christian community in our lives today?
DID YOU KNOW?
Preventing child sexual abuse is a partnership. It requires education, training, and action from parents, other adults, organizations, and children. As adults, we need to learn
to recognize other adults who are a risk to kids – ours and the others in the community.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, which gives us all an opportunity to learn more
about what the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is doing to prevent child sexual abuse from
happening. For more information about the VIRTUS® Child Abuse Prevention Programs for Adults and Children contact jvienna@la-archdiocese.org.

QUINTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
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 identifican como cristianos por el amor que se tienen 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 cristiana en nuestra vida de hoy?
