Mary, Our Mother

May is a month consecrated to Our Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary. During the Church’s history, Popes and Saints have taught the im-portance to consecrate ourselves to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but it was in the XVII century that the Church officially consecrated May as a Mar-ian month. In the XVIII century, for instance, St. Louis of Montfort promoted this consecration among the Catholics. We, the Catholic peo-ple, consecrate ourselves to Mary because we honor her, we love her, and we believe she is our mother. The Lord Jesus gave His mother to us on the cross when He entrusted her to His beloved Disciple: “When Jesus saw his mother and the disci-ple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, ‘Woman, behold, your son.’ Then he said to the disciple,

‘Behold, your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.” (John 19:26-27) We are Jesus’ beloved disciples; therefore, we receive Mary as our mother in our hearts.

Because we love Mary as our mother, we also recognize the importance of mothers in our world. Everyone has a mother, even if she is in heaven. We should love our mothers because they are the most beautiful gifts that the Lord had given us. Our mothers protect us, love us, and care for us. We need to honor and love them al-ways. Only one day at year is not enough to express all our love for our mothers.

Let us pray for all the mothers… for biological mothers, adoptive mothers, moth-ers who are pregnant (maybe the baby is the first one), women who are not biolog-ical or adoptive mothers, but they act like one, so God gives them everything that they need in their lives.

Good and Gentle God, we pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women of theory who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings. Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly.

Give them the faithful support of husband, family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most. - Author Unknown Contributed by Fr. Jorge Ramirez

Reading I: 13:14, 43-52

Reading II: Revelation 7:9, 14b-17

Gospel: John 10:27-30

May 12, 2019 – 4th Sunday of Easter

Fear of the other is pervasive today, but it’s not new. The early Christians confronted it in preaching the Gospel and often paid a heavy price for their message. As hard as it may be to ac-cept, God’s love is not limited to us and those with whom we feel com-fortable. We, too, are called to reach out beyond borders and barriers of our own making. Why is this so hard for us to grasp, even now?

A MEASURE IF SINCERITY The pastor of a church in southern France stated, “The amount you put in the collection basket (or by electronic giving) can be a measure of you gratitude for life & all its blessings; one way of saying, “Thank you, Lord!” But what really matters is the level of sincerity behind your gift. “Remember the good news that I carry,” St. Paul wrote to Timothy. That is our purpose in running off to Church. We are here to remember the Good News we carry, as Community of Jesus Christ. The formalities, the rituals we perform, are intended as signs of our inner faith, signs that the GOOD NEWS we carry is worth remembering. We come to Church because: - the Good News of God’s love & concern for us is WORTH remembering. - the Good News of God’s Plan for the world’s redemp-tion & for our individual selves is WORTH remembering. - the Good News that in & through Jesus Christ God be-came one of us & will always be among us is WORTH remembering. - it is WORTH remembering that Jesus is one with us in our work, in our suffering, in our death & in our “New Life”! - it is WORTH remembering that the Christ within us make everything worthwhile - in life & in death, both. We come to Church to say, “Thank You, Jesus! Thanks for the memories!” Isn’t this Church worth your support?

May 12, Good Shepherd Sunday, is the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. What is God calling you to do? Be? While all vocations are important, the purpose of this day is to publically fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). Please pray that young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord's call to the priesthood, diaconate, religious life, societies of apostolic life or secular institutes. You can find many resources to promote a culture of vocations on the USCCB Vocations webpage (www.usccb.org/vocations).

May 13 marks the 102nd anniversary of Mary’s

apparition as Our Lady of the Rosary in Fatima, Portu-

gal. She implored the 7 year-olds, Francisco, Jacinta and

Lucia, to pray the rosary daily for the conversion of sin-

ners, of which we all are, and an end to war. She also

asked them to endure and offer up to God any sufferings

for the reparation of the sins of humanity. Consider this:

Children, in this case, the 7 year-olds, can change the

world through their obedience and prayer. All of us are

called to be like little children. (Matt. 18:3) If Jesus on

the Cross gave us His mother as our spiritual mother,

then we honor the 4th Commandment: “Honor your

father and mother.” (Exodus 20:12, Jer.35:18-19 and Eph.

6:1-3) when we also pray the Rosary daily.
