Fourth Sunday of Easter
May is the Month of Mary
May is the month of Mary. What are some ways that we
can show our special love towards our Heavenly Mother?
Here are a few suggestions.
First, Consecration! Start off your day by consecrating
your life to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Offer all you say, do, and think to Jesus through the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Second, Scapular! Wear the Scapular of Our Lady of
Mount Carmel. This is the exterior sign of your
consecration to Mary. By wearing the Scapular you are
saying that you love Mary and belong to her family.
Reverently kiss the Scapular. The Church offers
indulgences by simply kissing the Scapular.
Third, Imitation! Love for a person leads to imitation.
Strive to imitate the virtues of Mary. In the spiritual
masterpiece of St. Louis de Montfort, True Devotion to
Mary, number 108, the saint gives a list of Mary’s
virtues. Her ten (10) principal virtues are: deep humility,
lively faith, blind obedience, unceasing prayer, constant
self-denial, surpassing purity, ardent love, heroic
patience, angelic kindness, and heavenly wisdom.
Implore Mary for the grace to imitate these sublime
virtues; if done, you are on the highway to holiness.
Fourth, Images! Honor the images of Mary. Statues,
paintings, mosaics, icons – all of these honor her in a
special way. Your home and family is the “Domestic
Church”; enthrone a beautiful image of Mary in your
home like Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes,
Our Lady of Guadalupe, or Our Lady of Grace. The mere
image of Mary purifies and sanctifies the environment.
Finally, Rosary! The Rosary is the prayer that Our Lady
loves most. When she appeared in Fatima in 1917, six
times, she repeated this desire every time: “Pray the
Rosary”. The name she gave herself at Fatima was “Our
Lady of the Rosary”. Blessed Pope John Paul II in his
apostolic letter, The Blessed Virgin Mary and the
Rosary, warmly exhorted all families to pray the Rosary
and for two special intentions: for world peace and for
the family. Fr. Patrick Peyton expressed this with these
immortal sayings: “A world at prayer is a world at
peace.” Furthermore, “The family that prays together,
stays together.” Every family should set aside 15 minutes
every day to pray the most Holy Rosary. Hopefully, the
father, “The Spiritual leader of the family” will be the
one who takes the initiative to lead his family in this
most beautiful prayer that Blessed Pope John XXIII has
called “A summary of the whole Gospel”
True devotion to Mary is the quickest, most secure and
easiest path to the Heart of Jesus, Our Risen Lord and
Savior! Pray to Mary, love Mary, imitate Mary, entrust
yourself to Mary and surely she will help you to be holy
as God is holy.
-Fr. Edward Broom, OMV
Remember: Pray the Rosary
Mother
The most important person on earth is a mother.
She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not.
“She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral
– a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her
baby’s body…
“The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They
cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to
Heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God
the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with
mothers in performing this act of creation…
“What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this; to be a
mother?”
- Cardinal Mindszenty

Prayer for Priests
Lord Jesus, present in the Most Blessed Sacrament, and living perpetually among us through Your Priests, grant that
the words of Your Priests may be only Your words, that
their gestures be only Your gestures, and that their lives be a
true reflection of Your life. Grant that they may be men who
speak to God on behalf of His people, and speak to His people of God. Grant that they be courageous in service, serving
the Church as she asks to be served. Grant that they may be
men who witness to eternity in our time, traveling on the
paths of history in Your steps, and doing good for all. Grant
that they may be faithful to their commitments, zealous in
their vocation and mission, clear mirrors of their own identity, and living the joy of the gift they have received. We pray
that Your Holy Mother, Mary, present throughout Your life,
may be ever present in the life of Your Priests. Amen

Cuarto Domingo de Pascua
Mayo es el Mes de María
Mayo es el Mes de María. ¿Cuáles son algunas maneras en
que podemos demostrar nuestro amor hacia nuestra Madre
Celestial? Aquí hay algunas sugerencias.
Primero, ¡la Consagración! Comience su día consagrando
su vida a Jesús a través del Corazón Inmaculado de María.
Ofrece todo lo que digas, hagas y pienses a Jesús a través
del Corazón Inmaculado de María.
Segundo, ¡el Escapulario! Use el Escapulario de Nuestra
Señora del Monte Carmelo. Este es el signo exterior de tu
consagración a María. Al usar el Escapulario estas
diciendo que amas a María y perteneces a su familia. Besa
con reverencia al Escapulario. La Iglesia ofrece
indulgencias con simplemente besar el Escapulario.
Tercero, ¡la Imitación! Amor por una persona lleva a la
imitación. Esfuérzate a imitar las virtudes de María. En la
obra maestra de San Louis de Montfort, Verdadera
Devoción a María, número 108, el santo da una lista de las
virtudes de María. Sus diez (10) virtudes principales son:
humildad profunda, fe viviente, obediencia ciega, oración
sin cesar, el negarse a sí mismo constantemente, pureza
incomparable, amor ardiente, paciencia heroica, bondad
angelical, y sabiduría celestial. Implora a María por la
gracia de imitar estas virtudes sublimes; si se hace, está en
la carretera a la santidad.
Cuarto, ¡las Imágenes! Honra las imágenes de María.
Estatuas, pinturas, mosaicos, iconos – todos estos la
honran de una manera especial. Tu hogar y familia es la
“Iglesia Domestica”; entrona una imagen bella de María en
tu hogar como Nuestra Señora de Fátima, Nuestra Señora
de Lourdes, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe o Nuestra
Señora de Gracia. La simple imagen de María purifica y
santifica el ambiente.
Finalmente, ¡el Rosario! El Rosario es la oración que
Nuestra Señora ama más. Cuando se apareció en Fátima en
1917, seis veces, ella repitió este deseo cada vez: “Recen
el Rosario”. El nombre que dio en Fátima fue “Nuestra
Señora del Rosario”. El Beato Papa Juan Pablo II en su
carta apostólica, La Santísima Virgen María y el Rosario,
exhorto a todas las familias de rezar el Rosario y por dos
intenciones especiales: por la paz del mundo y por la
familia. El Padre Patrick Peyton expreso esto con este
dicho inmortal: “Un mundo en oración es un mundo en
paz.” Además, “La familia que reza unida, permanece
unida.” Cada familia debería de apartar 15 minutos
diariamente para rezar el Santísimo Rosario. Esperamos
que el padre, “El Líder Espiritual de la familia” será el que
tome la iniciativa de guiar a su familia en la oración más
bella que el Beato Papa Juan XXIII ha llamado “Un
resumen de todo el Evangelio”.
Verdadera devoción a María es el camino más rápido, más
seguro y el más fácil al corazón de Jesús, Nuestro Señor y
Salvador Resucitado! Reza a María, ama a María, imita a
María, confía en María y seguramente te ayudara a ser
santo como Dios es santo.
-Padre Eduardo Broom, OMV

Build Your House…
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employercontractor of his plans to leave the house-building business to
live a more leisurely life with his wife and enjoy his extended
family. He would miss the paycheck each week, but he wanted
to retire. They could get by.
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go & asked if
he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The
carpenter said yes, but over time it was easy to see that his
heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to
end a dedicated career.
When the carpenter finished his work, his employer came to
inspect the house. Then he handed the front-door key to the
carpenter and said, "This is your house... my gift to you."
The carpenter was shocked!
What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own
house, he would have done it all so differently.
So it is with us. We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then, with a shock,
we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we
could do it over, we would do it much differently.
But, you cannot go back. You are the carpenter, and every day
you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Someone once
said, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your attitude, and the
choices you make today, help build the "house" you will live in
tomorrow. Therefore, Build wisely!
PRAYING THROUGH MARY FOR VOCATIONS
Families that attend the 8:00 am, 10:00 am, 12:00 noon and 2:00
p.m. Sunday Masses, can register to take a Pilgrim Statue of the
Blessed Mother into their homes. They commit themselves to pray
for one week the Rosary as a family, for an increase in the harvest
of vocations to religious life and the Priesthood. If you want to host
the Blessed Mother into your home please register at the Office.
*Please Pick up and Return the Pilgrim Statue at the
same Mass.*

UNA VIDA.
El nació en un establo. En un pueblo desconocido.
De allí El viajo, menos de 200 millas.
El nunca gano una elección.
El nunca fue a la Universidad.
El nunca fue dueño de una casa.
El nunca tuvo mucho dinero.
El se convirtió en un predicador nomadico.
La opinión popular estaba en contra de El.
El fue traicionado por un amigo cercano.
Y sus otros amigos huyeron.
El fue injustamente condenado a muerte.
Crucificado en medio de ladrones comunes.
En una loma que miraba al basurero de la ciudad.
Cuando murió fue enterrado en una tumba prestada.
Veinte siglos han ido y venido.
Imperios se han levantado y caído.
Potentes ejércitos han marchado.
Gobernantes potentes han reinado.
Sin embargo no han afectado al hombre como El lo hizo.
El es la figura central de la raza humana.
El es El Mesías, El Hijo del Dios vivo.
El Es, Jesucristo.
Para la risa…
Just for Laughs…
A doctor says to his patient, “I have bad news and worse news”.
“Oh dear, what's the bad news?” asks the patient.
The doctor replies, “You only have 24 hours to live.”
“That's terrible”, said the patient. “How can the news possibly be
worse?”
The doctor replies, “I've been trying to contact you since yesterday.”
Did You Know?
Listen to Your Children
This summer, when your children are out of school, on different
schedules, are meeting new people and going to new places, make sure
that you talk to them often about their experiences and the people
they’ve met. Listen carefully to your children. If possible, observe and
get to know the other children and adults who are part of your children’s summertime fun. Above all, communicate your safety concerns
to your children. Make sure they know that they can come to you
with any concerns they may have about the people they interact with.
And, if you hear of or observe behaviors that may be inappropriate,
make sure to communicate your feelings to people who are in a position to intervene. Communication is key to creating and maintaining a
safe environment all year round. For particular help, you may call
Assistance Ministry at 213 637 7650.
¿Sabe Usted?
Escuche a Sus Hijos
Este verano, cuando sus hijos estén fuera de la escuela, en horarios
diferentes, conociendo nuevas personas e ir a lugares nuevos, asegúrese
de hablar frecuentemente con ellos sobre sus experiencias y las personas que han conocido. Escuche cuidadosamente a sus hijos. Si es posible, observar y conocer a los otros niños y adultos que forman parte
de la diversión de verano de sus hijos. Por encima de todo, comunique
sus preocupaciones de seguridad con sus hijos. Asegúrese de que sepan
que pueden venir a usted con cualquier preocupación que puedan
tener sobre las personas con las que se relacionan. Y, si usted escucha
u observa los comportamientos que pueden ser inadecuados, asegúrese
de comunicar sus sentimientos a las personas que están en condiciones
de intervenir. La comunicación es clave para crear y mantener un ambiente sano y seguro durante todo el año. Para obtener ayuda, llame a
la Oficina del Ministerio de Ayuda al 213 637 7650.
