Quote on Father’s gift:
“As mariners are guided into port by the shining
of a star, so Christians are guided to heaven by
Mary.” St. Thomas Aquinas
“Como los marineros se guían en Puerto por el
brillo de una Estrella, por lo que los cristianos
son guiados al cielo por María.”

When I was away from vacation, I thought
about all of you on a daily basis, especially in
my daily prayers. After a few weeks I was
ready to come back. Part of the reason is
your tremendous love and generosity. For
that reason I was amazed but not surprised by
what I found in my office when I came
back. It was a beautiful framed message of
congratulations for my 7th anniversary as a priest. It
was bedecked with your photos, centered on a
certificate of adoption of a star in my name! Thank
you so much for your love and kindness!
************************************
Stay focused! Our second reading for this
Sunday gives us some good practical advice. Paul
says to the Ephesians to "watch carefully how you
live." Inspired from Ephesians 5, the following list
can help:
1. Use the difficult moments in your day to pray and
realize that it is a moment that the Lord has
permitted because of His Love and Wisdom
2. Read a little bit about your faith (Scripture,
Catechism, a book written by a saint, usccb.org) for
10 minutes a day
3. Don't "numb out" with activities that don't really
help you (getting drunk, excessive video games or
tv, drugs, excessive shopping)
4. Do "live out" with activities that wake you up
(prayer, caring for the needy, family time, exercise,
healthy eating, a good hobby)
5. Get together with people of faith to pray, sing,
and have fun (look in the bulletin for these kinds of
events)
6. Before going to bed, write a short gratitude list
(both for the good things and the challenging things)
Pick two or three of these that you are not doing
already and put them to practice. Let me know how
it turns out.

Cuando estaba de vacaciones, pensaba en
todos ustedes sobre una base diaria,
especialmente en mis oraciones diarias.
Después de unas semanas estaba listo para
volver. Parte de la razón es su enorme amor
y generosidad. Por esa razón estaba
sorprendido pero no sorprendido por lo que
he encontrado en mi oficina cuando regresé.
Fue un mensaje enmarcado hermoso Felicitaciones
para mi séptimo aniversario como sacerdote. Fue
adornada con tus fotos, centrado en un certificado de
adopción de una estrella en mi nombre! Gracias por
tu amor y bondad!
**************************************
Mantente enfocado! Nuestra segunda lectura de
este domingo nos da algunos buenos consejos
prácticos. Paul dice a los Efesios a observar
cuidadosamente cómo vives. Inspirado en Efesios 5,
la siguiente lista puede ayudar a:
1. Utilizar los momentos difíciles en su día para
orar y darse cuenta de que es un momento que el
Señor ha permitido debido a su amor y sabiduría
2. Leer un poco sobre su fe (Sagradas Escrituras,
Catecismo, un libro escrito por un Santo,
usccb.org) durante 10 minutos al día
3. No adormecer a cabo con las actividades que
realmente no ayudarte (emborracharse,
videojuegos excesivos o tv, droga, excesivo
compra)
4. Trate de viver con actividades que te despierta
(oración, cuidado de los necesitados, familia
tiempo, ejercicio, alimentación saludable, un
buen pasatiempo)
5. Reúnete con personas de fe a orar, cantar, y que
lo paseis bien (Buscar en el boletín de este tipo
de eventos)
6. Antes de irse a la cama, escriba una lista corta de
agradecimiento (tanto para las cosas buenas y las
cosas difíciles)
Escoja dos o tres de estos que ya no haces y ponerlos
a la práctica. Me dejan saber cómo resulta.

Archdiocesan
Youth Conference
Houston, TX
July 31 - AUG 2, 15
It is such an amazing blessing to take a group of High School
students every year to AYC. Thank you, Resurrection! For your
support, prayers, and love.
Amongst the 3,000+ present, we had a former America’s Next Top
Model contestant, a newly ordained Texas Bishop, and our very
own Cardinal DiNardo. It is a blessing to experience the Mystical
Body of Christ (1 Cor 12) in the beauty of His Bride, the Church.
We prayed together in the presence of Christ Jesus during
Eucharistic Adoration, praised and worshiped with live music and
in silence, but most importantly, we gathered around the altar for
the sacrifice of the Mass. Throughout the weekend, the Youth
were given the challenge to take a step outside of their comfort
zone; to take their faith in and relationship with God to the next
level and to allow Him into their everyday lives.
I urge you to take the challenge that our Youth were given at
AYC: How are you going to become one with the Mystical Body
of Christ (1 Per 3:8-9)? How are you going to be God’s love in
this world? What are you going to do to take your faith to the next
level?
In the words of St. Catherine of Siena, “Be who God meant you to
be and you will set the world on fire.” My brothers and sisters,
how are you going to set the world on fire? - Amy Ann Davila
Es una bendición increíble llevar a un grupo de jóvenes cada año a
AYC. ¡Gracias, Resurrección! Por su apoyo, oraciones y amor.
Entre los 3,000+ presente, tuvimos una ex-concursante de
America's Next Top Model, un obispo de Texas recién ordenado
y nuestro propio Cardenal DiNardo. Es una bendición para
experimentar el Cuerpo Místico de Cristo (1 Cor 12) en la belleza
de Su Novia, la Iglesia.
Oramos juntos en la presencia de Cristo Jesús durante Adoración Eucarística, alabamos y adoramos con música en vivo
y en silencio, pero lo más importante, nos reunimos al rededor del altar para el sacrificio de la Misa. A través de este fin
de semana, los Jóvenes fueron dados el reto de tomar un paso fuera de su zona de comodidad; para tomar su fe y
relación con Dios al siguiente nivel y permitirlo a sus vidas diarias.
Yo insto a que ustedes tomen el reto que fue dado a nuestra juventud en AYC: ¿Cómo vas a ser uno con el Cuerpo
Místico de Cristo(1 Ped 3:8-9)?¿Cómo vas a ser el amor de Dios en este mundo? ¿Qué vas a hacer para llevar tu fe al
siguiente nivel?
En las palabras de Santa Catalina de Siena, “Si somos lo que debemos ser, prenderemos fuego al mundo entero.” Mis
hermanos y hermanas, ¿cómo vas a prender fuego al mundo entero? - Amy Ann Davila

Prayer for spiritually adopting a baby in danger of abortion:
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I love you very much.
I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby
that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger
of abortion.
Jesús, Maria, y Joseph, te quiero muchísimo.
Te ruego que perdones la vida del bebe no
nacido que ha sido adoptado espiritualmente
y que esta en peligro de aborto.
If you began praying March 25 on the feast of the Annunciation, it will be the end of the fourth month
and beginning of the fifth month.
Fourth and Fifth Months
Rapid development. Facial expressions similar to the baby's parents can be identified at this time. Fine
hair begins growing on the head, eyebrows, and eyelashes. The baby learns to grip and suck his or her
thumb. Half the pregnancy has now passed and this little baby is very active! Sleeping habits develop
and the mother often feels her baby move and stretch, particularly when she is resting. Interestingly,
babies at this stage have responded to sounds in frequencies too high and low for adults to hear. By the
end of this month the baby is about 12 inches long and weighs about one pound. Babies born at this stage
of development have survived.
