The Holy Spirit will teach us a deeper truth of God. The Holy Spirit will keep us right when unbidden danger flashes into our minds. 2. Jesus offers us the gift of Peace which never by itself means the absence of trouble but rather he offers us a peace that comes from a shared life with Jesus. 3. He speaks of his Destination. I will go back to the Father – freed from the limitations of the world. If you really love me, you will be glad for me. 4. Jesus speaks of his Struggle. The cross was his last battle with the power of evil. 5. He speaks of His Vindication. The cross was seen as his humiliation and shame but time proved obedience to God, and his love for all in his life found their highest expression in the cross. 561.392.7974 • 561.368.6671 Fax Monday-Friday 8:00am to 4:00pm Mass Schedules Saturday Vigil: 4:30pm, 6:30pm(Spanish) Sunday: 7:00am, 8:00am, 9:15am, 10:45am, 12:15pm & 5:00pm Monday-Friday: 6:45am & 8:15am Saturday mornings: 8:15am Eve of Holy Days: 6:00pm Holy Days: 6:45am, 8:15am, 9:15am, & 12:15pm Holidays: Only one Mass at 9:00am Bringing the Message Home Jesus speaks not only to his disciples 2,000 years ago, but he also speaks to us. We carry in our person the same worries as those of the past. Will we find love - a job - purpose in life - a healthy life - and the fear that accompanies most of these worries.

Carlo DiNatale-Tarasi Confessions Saturday: 3:15-4pm & 5:30-6:15pm Like us on MAY 5, 2013 YOUR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY IN DOWNTOWN BOCA RATON STEWARDSHIP CORNER SUN-DAYS/ STORM-DAYS APPEAL! Torrid days and torrential storms lie ahead. And as the temperature climbs, our Offertory Collections decline due to vacations and part-time parishioners. Here’s the deal on our appeal. We need to keep our AC running, our electric bills paid, our hurricane protection up-graded, and our Food Pantry full. So, we thank the faithful in advance for an extra dollar or two per week to get us through spring and summer. That’s the price of a six pack, or the savings on a back to school sale. Or if you can make it more: a few dollars saved from a Memorial Day weekend sale. And because hardship never goes on vacation, the good stewards of St Joan are also keeping the Food Pantry stocked, and helping to pay AC bills for our out -of -funds families. If everybody does a little, that adds up to a lot. So, for this Sun-Day and every Sun-Day giving is a cool thing to do. Thank You! - Brother Seward God bless!

JOAN OF ARC l MAY 5 27TH ANNUAL INTERFAITH CELEBRATION ST. JOAN OF ARC/TEMPLE BETH EL Last weekend, our parish and Temple Beth El continued our long history of faith and educational activities to strengthen our inter-community relationship, mutual understanding and respect. We thank our guest speaker Fr. Robert Leavitt S.S.,the past Rector President of Saint Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore, Maryland who at both the Shabat service on Friday and at Sunday Mass, helped us understand the meaning of Covenant in Judaism and Catholicism. For many years Fr. Leavitt has been involved in Jewish/Catholic dialogue and has a keen interest in fostering ecumenical understanding and cooperation. For both of our faiths, the call of God and our response to it is critical. We are both peoples of the Covenant and share a common respect for Abraham and Moses. For Catholics, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus constitutes another most important phase of our Covenant relationship with God. Together as Catholics and Jews, we seek to be faithful to our Covenant relationship and to the living out of its implications. Since its inception back in 1986, our two Congregations have grown in mutual understanding, and the love we share for God's Holy Word. We here at St. Joan of Arc extended a warm welcome and Shalom (Peace) with our neighbors across the street from Temple Beth El. - Msgr. Michael D. McGraw MAY 5 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 3 WishList S T.

By Deacon Bill Watzek. Two inspirational talks by our Priests and Deacons Tuesdays in Conference Room A at 7:00pm "A big thanks to Father Jimmy and Father Tomasz for the very inspiring and educating talks, and to all of those who attended. SAINT OF THE DAY 5/14 “Pentecost” We are the Church - Each person has something to contribute. By Monsignor Michael McGraw. ST. JOSEPH THE WORKER Feast Day was May 1, 2013 Catholic saints are holy people and human people who lived extraordinary lives. Each saint the Church honors responded to God's invitation to use his or her unique gifts. God calls each one of us to be a saint. St. Joseph has two feast days on the liturgical calendar. The first is March 19—Joseph, the Husband of Mary. The second is May 1— Joseph, the Worker. “Saint Joseph is a man of great spirit. He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God. He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God,” Pope John Paul II had once said. There is very little about the life of Joseph in Scripture but still, we know that he was the chaste husband of Mary, the foster father of Jesus, a carpenter and a man who was not wealthy. We also know that he came from the royal lineage of King David. We can see from his actions in scripture that Joseph was a compassionate man, and obedient to the will of God. He also loved Mary and Jesus and wanted to protect and provide for them. Since Joseph does not appear in Jesus' public life, at his death, or resurrection, many historians believe Joseph had probably died before Jesus entered public ministry. Joseph is the patron of many things, including the universal Church, fathers, the dying and social justice. MAY 5 l ST. JOAN OF ARC l 9 ST. JOAN OF ARC’S RECYCLING PROGRAM Help Save the Environment!

Ministerio Hispano V I DOMINGO DE PASCUA, CICLO C: HUMILDAD PERSONAL Y CONFIANZA EN DIOS Él es el agarradero firme en cada momento, a cualquier edad y en toda circunstancia. La humildad personal y la confianza en Dios van siempre juntas. Él es la fortaleza y la seguridad en medio de tanta debilidad como encontramos a nuestro alrededor y en nosotros mismos. El cristiano tiene puesta en Dios su esperanza y, porque conoce y acepta su propia debilidad, no se fía mucho de lo propio. Sabe que en cualquier empresa deberá poner todos los medios humanos a su alcance, pero conoce bien que ante todo debe contar con su oración; y reconoce y acepta con alegría que todo lo que posee lo ha recibido de Dios. La humildad no consiste tanto en el propio desprecio –porque Dios no nos desprecia, somos obra salida de sus manos–, sino en el olvido de sí y en la preocupación sincera por los demás. El olvido de sí es una condición indispensable para la santidad: solo entonces podemos mirar a Dios como a nuestro Bien absoluto, y tenemos capacidad para preocuparnos de los demás. EL SANTO PADRE DEFIENDE EL MATRIMONIO Están en juego la identidad y la supervivencia de la familia: papa, mama, e hijos. Está en juego la vida de tantos niños que serán discriminados de antemano privándolos de la maduración humana que Dios quiso se diera con un padre y una madre. Está en juego el rechazo frontal a la ley de Dios, grabada en nuestros corazones. No seamos ingenuos: no se trata de una simple lucha política; es la pretensión destructiva al plan de Dios. No se trata de un mero proyecto legislativo (este es solo el instrumento) sino una “movida” del padre de la mentira (el diablo) que pretende confundir y engañar a los hijos de Dios.

LA INTIMIDAD EN EL HOGAR La casa desde siempre ha sido una preocupación para todos, tener un lugar seguro, donde protegerse y descansar, la casa es la prolongación espacial de nuestro cuerpo. La vivienda tiene un carácter protector, estar en paz, estar protegido, cuidado, ser acogido, estar amparado, es un lugar de compañía. Construimos nuestras casas como una forma de proyectar espacialmente nuestra intimidad, es el lugar donde se comparten intimidades, donde se crece. ¿Cómo son nuestras casas? ¿Son lugares que cumplen tanto para nosotros mismos como para nuestros hijos estas características? Existen casas que empujan hacia fuera y casas que atraen; existen casas sin pudor y casas donde se vive el respeto a la intimidad de otros. Cuidemos de nuestras casas para que tengan un carácter armónico y acogedor, el decorado de nuestras casas es como un test proyectivo de nuestra intimidad. La casa debe ser un lugar ordenado, digno, limpio, donde den ganas de quedarse, estar, entretener y compartir. MAYO ES EL MES DE MARIA En América Latina una manifestación de la capacidad de amar se traduce en la piedad popular que se mantiene muy viva en tantos países de América, con una devoción a la Madre de Dios que es a la vez tierna y recia, y que entraña una actitud muy enriquecedora para la humanidad entera. Todo esto es un gran don para la Iglesia.
