As he rode along, the people were spreading their cloaks on the road; the whole multitude of his disciples began to praise God aloud with joy

for all the mighty deeds they had seen. - Lk 19:36,

FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK—DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PASTOR 2

The World in View from a Believer’s Perspective

If you are reading this on, Sunday, April 14th, tonight’s the night! This evening at Holy Cross Church, an ecumenical chorus of Christian believers from around Mesa comprised of some of our own parishioners will be offering God a hymn of praise and a tribute to Jesus’ sacrifice. It is only fitting that such a tribute should start us on our journey through Holy Week. Come and hear the voices of those who have been busy preparing their hearts and minds since November to offer us a scripturally based composition by one of our very talented parishioners, Mrs. Evelyn Sanchez Fink. Welcome anything that can help us along in our devotion to the Crucified and Risen Lord. I hope to see you there.

I snapped this image of our Crucified Lord at an on-going formation conference last year at Boyton Beach Regional Seminary, Florida.

Your Pastor, Fr. Larry

El Mundo que se ve desde la perspectiva de un creyente

Si ustedes estan leyendo esto hoy domingo 14 de abril, ¡esta es la noche! Esta noche en la Iglesia de la Santa Cruz, un coro ecumenico de creyentes cristianos de alrededor de Mesa, entre los cuales hay algunos de nuestros propios feligreses, estara presentando un Himno de Gloria a Dios y un tributo al sacri#icio de Jesus. Es muy apropiado que dicho tributo sea lo que de comienzo a nuestra jornada a traves de la Semana Santa. Vengan y escuchen las voces de quienes han estado trabajando duro preparando sus mentes y sus corazones desde noviembre para ofrecernos una composicion basada en las Escrituras y hecha por una de nuestras talentosas feligreses, la senora Evelyn Sanchez Fink. Recibimos con alegrıa todo lo que nos pueda ayudar en nuestra devocion al Senor Cruci#icado y Resucitado. Espero verlos allı. Esta foto de nuestro Senor Cruci#icado la tome durante una conferencia de formacion continua el ano pasado en el Seminario Regional en Boyton Beach, Florida. Su Pastor, Padre Lorenzo

CONSAGRACIÓN DE FAMILIAS EN LA VÍSPERA DEL 50º ANIVERSARIO DE LA DIÓCESIS DE PHOENIX

El Obispo Thomas J. Olmsted ha hecho un llamado para la consagración de familias de la Diócesis de Phoenix a Jesús por medio de María, en el Retiro para Hacerlo Uno Mismo llamado “33 Días hacia la Gloria Matutina”. Todas las familias de la parroquia están cordialmente invitadas a consagrarse a Jesús por medio de María para reforzar los lazos familiares con el ejemplo de la Santísima Trinidad y la Sagrada Familia. Para comenzar:

‒ Seleccione de entre las fechas que aparecen en la lista a continuación la que sea más conveniente para la consagración de su familia.

‒ Recoja una copia gratuita del folleto “33 Días hacia la Gloria Matutina” en la oficina de la parroquia. ‒ Lea en familia la lectura del día cada día en la forma que se sugiere en el libro (si omiten un día, lean la

lectura de ese día junto con la del día siguiente.) ‒ De ser posible, vayan a una buena confesión antes de consagrarse. ‒ Consagre a su familia usando la oración de consagración en un día de Fiesta dedicado a María.

En las próximas 5 semanas, habrá un Grupo de Estudio de Formación en la Fe para Adultos. El grupo verá un video en inglės explicando las enseñanzas de San Louis de Montfort, San Maximiliano Kolbe, Santa Teresa de Calcuta y San Juan Pablo II, con énfasis en cómo sus propias consagraciones impactaron sus respectivas jornadas hacia la santidad. Posiblemente habrá discusiones de grupos pequeños en español.

‒ Cuando: miércoles 17 y 24 de abril y 1 y 8 de mayo ‒ Sesiones en la mañana: Inmediatamente después de la Misa de las 8:30, en el Salón Wellens ‒ Les pedimos que traigan un platillo para desayuno/almuerzo para compartir ‒ Sesiones en la tarde: de 6:30 a 8 pm en la Biblioteca ‒ En este salón solamente se permite traer agua. ‒ La consagración para este grupo será el 13 de mayo, Fiesta de Fátima, inmediatamente después de la

Misa de las 8:30 a.m. ‒ Todos los feligreses de la Santa Cruz están invitados a la consagración, hayan o no participado en el retiro.

Pueden ver los videos en sus casas. Inscríbanse en formed.org y pongan el código de nuestra parroquia: BR4Z9E.

LECTIO SAN MARCOS

Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul Hoy es Domingo de Ramos y el comienzo de las semana más sagrada para los cristianos. Oremos por la gracia de cargar nuestra propia cruz y seguir a Jesús a través de la muerte hacia una nueva vida. Estimada comunidad de Santa Cruz: La conferencia de San Vicente de Paúl de La Santa Cruz, extiende un sincero agradecimiento a todos los que contribuyeron al éxito de nuestra colecta semi-anual de alimentos del 2019. Respondieron con generosa contribución de productos alimenticios y donaciones monetarias, que nos permitirán satisfacer las demandas de servicio a las personas sin hogar e individuos menos afortunados durante el próximo verano. A través de su generosidad, recogimos más de 1100 bolsas de alimentos lo cual ayudó a que esta colecta fuera un gran éxito. Agradecemos a la familia que inspirada por nuestros esfuerzos, se ofreció en último momento (abuelos, padres e hijos) a surtir la donaciones después de la Misa del sábado en la tarde. También agradecemos a los muchos individuos y organizaciones de la parroquia que ayudaron con su tiempo y músculos en este exitoso esfuerzo. Especialmente queremos agradecer a las siguientes organizaciones de la parroquia y a sus miembros: Caballeros de Colón Consejo 7904, Grupo Juvenil de “Edge & Life Teen”. En conclusión, por favor continúen orando por nuestra misión de servir a aquellos que son menos afortunados. Gracias y que Dios los bendiga.
