We encourage you to use the offertory envelope
each weekend you come to Mass so we can
credit your participation in the life of our community. We realize that not everyone is able to
make a donation every week, and that’s okay.
You’re credited with attendance even when you
drop an empty envelope in the basket.
One of the reasons we track participation is to
help you. If you’re being asked to sponsor someone for baptism or confirmation, you’ll be asked
to provide a letter from your parish stating that
you are an actively practicing Catholic. We look
at the participation record to determine whether
or not we can provide such a letter.
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? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
This Sunday’s “Youth Jubilee” previews July’s World
Youth Day in Krakow. Its
theme from Matthew 5:7,
“Blessed are the merciful,”
echoes Pope Francis’ warning
that “the practice of mercy is waning in the wider
culture.” In countercultural witness, therefore, “the
time has come,” says Francis, “for the Church to
take up the joyful call to mercy once more. It is
time to return to the basics and to bear the weaknesses and struggles of our brothers and sisters.”
Jesus affirms the same in today’s Gospel. “As I
have loved you, so you also should love one another” (John 13:34). Francis concludes, “The Church’s
very credibility is seen in how she shows merciful
and compassionate love.” Jesus too asserts, “This is
how all will know that you are my disciples, if you
have love for one another” (John 13:35). Thus mercy “makes young” the Church, the world, and
everyone. “Mercy is the force that reawakens us to
new life and instills in us the courage to look to the
future with hope” (Misericordiae Vultus, 10). —Peter
SPIRITUAL READING
You will not see anyone who is truly striving
after spiritual advancement who is not given to
spiritual reading.—St. Athanasius

NCMEC’s Web site offers a range of practical
information for parents and guardians that will

He loves you. The next Worldwide Marriage

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El primero de mayo es reconocido como el
día mundial del trabajo y conmemora seis mártires de Chicago, quienes fueron fusilados en 1886
cuando la policía trató de impedir una pelea campal durante una huelga de obreros. Curiosamente
esta fecha no es reconocida por Estados Unidos
pero sí por muchos países latinoaméricanos. En
1954, el Papa Pió XII apoyó los derechos del
obrero incluyendo a san José Obrero en el calendario cristiano. Esta fiesta celebra y recuerda la
doctrina social de la Iglesia católica, una doctrina
que insiste que: “El mensaje cristiano no aparta a
las personas de la edificación del mundo, ni les
lleva a despreocuparse del bien de sus semejantes, sino que les impone esta colaboración como
un deber” (Gaudiam et Spes 34).
Es justo conmemorar a san José como obrero
en el día mundial del trabajo, porque este santo
varón nos recuerda que al trabajar uno colabora
con Dios en la creación continua del mundo y de
la humanidad. El trabajo no sólo es derecho humano es una responsabilidad que se debe tomar
con amor al prójimo.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.
¿Están buscando un fin de semana
perfecto? ¿Un fin de semana para
acercarse más? ¿Quieren aprender
una técnica de comunicación que le
permita a cada pareja explorar áreas importantes de su relación en un
espíritu de amor y comprensión?
Un fin de semana del Encuentro Matrimonial
Mundial es exactamente lo que buscan. Se
pueden escapar de las distracciones de la vida cotidiana y concentrarse en su matrimonio. Para
aplicar para el fin de semana Junio 11-12, en la
Iglesia San Miguel Arcángel, Cary, visite
www.enriquecetumatrimonio.org o para más información pónganse en contacto con Jose Luis y
Deborah Auces: (916) 538-8167 o

VERDADERA COMUNIDAD CRISTIANA
Los padres, custodios y adultos que cuidan niños,
enfrentan constantes desafíos cuando se trata de
ayudar a mantener a los niños protegidos en este
mundo acelerado. El “National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children” (NCMEC, por sus siglas
en ingles), ofrece recursos fáciles de usar para
ayudar a abordar estos desafíos. El NCMEC, ofrece una variedad de información práctica, para
los padres y custodios que ayudan a mantener a
los niños protegidos de cualquier daño. Esta información se encuentra en el sitio web:
www.missingkids.com.
Nuestra diócesis ofrece un código de conducta que
deben seguir los adultos, para crear un ambiente
seguro y proteger a los niños. Al leer y seguir el
código de conducta, ayudará para crear una cultura de prevención y mantener a nuestros niños seguros. Para tener acceso al Código de Conducta
ingrese a: http://dioceseofraleigh.org/sites/default/

ayuda para responder a una denuncia de abuso,
usted puede llamar a: The Diocese of Raleigh Office of Child and Youth Protection al número telefónico: 1-8066-535-7233.
¿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?
