The Ascension of the Lord 2

“Pastor’s Weekend Message” “Mensaje Pastoral del Parroco” “Hombres de Galilea, ¿Qué hacéis allí parados mi-

rando al cielo? Ese mismo Jesús, que os ha dejado para subir al cielo, volverá como lo habéis visto marcharse. Aleluya. (Hechos de los Apóstoles 1,11)

Mi “Familia de muchas familias,” por cuarenta días hemos celebrado la resurrección del Señor. El tiempo Pascual es muy bonito y maravilloso, pero hoy también recordamos como Jesús después de estar con sus discípu-los por cuarenta días el ‘asciende’ al cielo para estar con su Padre Santo y nos promete que enviaría al Espíritu Santo. Aunque tradicionalmente la Ascensión se celebra-ba este jueves pasado, por razones pastorales, se movió a los domingos. Desde la Ascensión a Pentecostés existen nueve días entre estas y por eso se le llama “novena” en latín. Durante esta jornada hacia Pentecostés, oremos para que el Espíritu Santo se manifieste más presente con sus dones. Confiados en el Espíritu de Dios, continuemos orando por todas las madres hoy. Ya sea en vida como en la muerte agradezcámosle por el amor, cariño y fe en nuestras vidas. También oremos por todos los jóvenes que serán confirmados hoy. Que ellos reciban el don Dios, el Espíritu Santo. Tenemos que prepararnos y celebrar Nuestra Fiesta Anual a nuestra Virgen de San Juan de los Lagos (Salida Park). Este año será el 12 de agosto. Le pedimos mucha ayuda con nuestra rifa. Ya son 20 años de fe, tradición y celebración. Únase con nosotros. Hagamos presencia y diferencia en nuestra comunidad e Iglesia. Para Pentecostés, les pido que vistan colores fuego o rojos para celebrar el nacimiento de la Iglesia con la venida del Espíritu Santo. Que el Señor continué bendi-ciendo nuestra parroquia en los santos nombres de Jesús, María y José. Bendiciones del Padre Juan

“Yo estaré con vosotros todos los días hasta el fin del mundo. Aleluya.” Salmo 26, 7-9

“Your kingdoms of the earth sing to God; praise the Lord, who ascends above the highest heavens; his majesty and might are in the skies, alleluia.”

Psalm 68 (67):33, 35 Dear “Family of families”, for forty days we have cele-brated the Resurrection of the Lord. Easter time is a beau-tiful and wonderful time, but today we recall how after being with his disciples for the last forty days the Lord Jesus “ascends” to heaven to His heavenly Father and promises to send us the ‘Holy Spirit’. Although tradition-ally, the Ascension was celebrated last Thursday, for pas-toral reasons, it was moved to Sundays. From the Ascen-sion to Pentecost there is a gap of nine days and thus the Latin word ‘Novena’ is given to this period of prayer. During these nine days, invite the Holy Spirit to give you all His wonderful spiritual gifts. Trusting in God’s Spirit, let us continue praying for all mothers today. Whether alive or deceased may we never forget to be thankful for their love, care, life and faith in our lives. Do pray for all of our confirmadi, who today will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, God’s gift of the Holy Spirit. Remember that on August 12th, we have a Parish Fiesta (at Salida Park). This is the 20th year that we celebrate to Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos. Please pray and help us to prepare and celebrate this Marian Feast. You can help us with our buying and purchasing raffle tickets. Take them and return them. This income helps our gen-eral fund. For Pentecost Sunday, May 20, all who want to wear red or a fiery color are invited to do so in honor of celebrating the birth of the Church with the coming of the Holy Spirit. May God continue to bless our Parish in the holy names of Jesus, Joseph and Mary. Blessings, Fr. Juan

“The love of God has been poured into our hearts through the Spirit of God dwelling within us, alleluia”

Happy Mother’s Day! ¡Feliz Dia de las Madres!

On Monday, May 21, I invite you: the clergy, religious and laity of the Diocese of Stockton, to offer a prayer of consecration of our Diocese of Stockton to the Immacu-late Heart of Our Lady, “Mary, Mother of the Church”. May we, throughout this month of May, and along with this year’s annual celebration of Mother’s Day, be mindful of the maternal presence of Our Lady. May she intercede for all women, especially, those called to the sacred role of motherhood.
