Mass Intentions - May 13 - May 19

The reception of Holy Communion at Sunday Mass is such an expected feature of the Mass these days that it is surprising to realize that for many centuries, receiving Communion was a relatively rare event in the life of a faithful Christian. “Easter duty” means that Catholics must cele-brate reconciliation if aware of serious sin, and receive Holy Commun-ion during the Easter season. For a while, this was a requirement of Easter week, and later extended to the whole season of fifty days, and even beyond that by a few weeks. For the majority of people long ago,
this meant Communion was a once-a-year moment. A rather complex bureaucracy grew up around this rule in the Middle Ages. Amazingly, people received a kind of token at confession admitting them to Communion in their home parish, which then kept careful records and reported them to the bishop.
Surviving records can tell us a great deal about our ancestors. In fact, people were encouraged to jour-ney to the church of their baptism in order to fulfill their duty, and therefore the Easter duty includes in its origins a grateful pilgrimage to the font in which you were first embraced by Christ. If your “Holy Mother Church” is within a drive, why not make a pilgrimage to that font a feature of your Easter cele-bration of these fifty days? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Hoy celebramos a una mujer potente e importante en nuestras vidas; la madre. La historia del día de la madre se originó en las fiestas griegas en honor de Rhea, la madre de los dioses. A lo largo de la historia los cristianos también hemos recordado a la Madre de Dios, María, en varias solemnidades, pero hace sólo 100 años, el 10 de mayo de 1907 en los Estados Unidos se em-pezó a promover la idea de un día de reconocimiento del amor que tenemos como humanos por nuestras propias madres. Eventualmente se paso a muchas naciones latinoamericanas. Muchas culturas latinoamericanas son matriar-cales, es decir, el papel de la madre en la fa-milia es algo esencial. Para los latinos, no hay amor más grande que el de una madre. Sin olvidar la función del padre, ella es la que nos da la vida, nos enseña como vivirla y nos da alimento. Su amor nos recuerda al de Cristo, quien con sacrificio y amor da vida a la Iglesia. Su amor sostiene y cuando las cosas se po-nen difíciles emocionalmente, nuestro deseo secreto es de estar en los brazos de mamá. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Learn to give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you’ll have no time for criticism of others.—Anonymous
Events

Recently I went to my brother’s house for a visit and as soon as I opened the front door one of my nephews and two of my nieces started sprinting towards me. I crouched down and opened my arms to receive them as they joyfully wanted a hug from me. In that moment I felt incredibly loved by them and by God! As I think back on that moment, I think how instinctual it is for a child to run to someone they love and express their joy. And the question for each one of us is, “Do we express the same joy when we encounter other people?” When we greet others do, we give them a solemn hello, or do we greet them with joy and tell them how excited we are to see them? This can be the path to experiencing Christ because Christ tells us that we are called to love one another as He loves. So, let us become more like Christ by being men and women of joy. Let us be men and women who show our thankfulness and joy when we en-counter other people. If we begin every interaction in this manner than God willing every interaction will be one that is filled with God’s glory!

Congratulations
“Why do I go to Mass?” was the question asked at the first session of the 6-week DVD program by Bishop Robert Barron. I found these classes to be very insightful. The book might be hard to get through, but the videos were wonderful. I learned more about what was expected of me from the layperson side of the altar and some items from the priest's point of view. I understand more and therefore can feel more joyful about my part in the Mass.
