In the Gospel today, Jesus says “I give you a new commandment: love one another….This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Love means self-sacrifice. Parents sacrifice plenty for their children, spouses for each other, we respond to others’ tragedies with gifts of money and service. We reach out to the perfect stranger on the street who is in need, even those who wrong us, loving others as God has loved us. These sacrifices are the “stuff” of our everyday living and loving sharing in Jesus’ mission. In the month of April, through your gifts the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brought the love and care of Jesus to the poor by assisting ten families, providing financial help with utilities and rent. Thank You! At this time of renewal consider joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. We meet on the third Tuesday of the month at 12:30PM in the Conference Room of the Parish Center. We welcome new members and can be reached at 234-6535,ext.103. Join us and share in Jesus’ new commandment.

Belong More Deeply
Heavenly Father, Pour forth your Holy Spirit to inspire me with these words from Holy Scripture.
Stir in my soul the desire to renew my faith and deepen my relationship with your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ so that I might truly believe in and live the Good News.
Open my heart to hear the Gospel and grant me the confidence to proclaim the Good News to others.
Pour out your Spirit, so that I might be strengthened to go forth and witness to the Gospel in my everyday life through my words and actions. In moments of hesitation, remind me: If not me, then who will proclaim the Gospel? If not now, then when will the Gospel be proclaimed? If not the truth of the Gospel, then what shall I proclaim?
God, our Father, I pray that through the Holy Spirit I might hear the call of the New Evangelization to deepen my faith, grow in confidence to proclaim the Gospel and boldly witness to the saving grace of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen.
Pertenecer Más Profundamente
Padre Celestial, Derrama tu Espíritu Santo y sea yo inspirado con estas palabras de la Sagrada Escritura.
Llena mi alma del deseo de renovar mí fe Y profundizar mi relación con tu Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo para que yo pueda verdaderamente creer y vivir la Buena Nueva.
Abre mi corazón para oír el Evangelio y concédeme la confianza de proclamar le Buena Nueva a otros.
Derrama tu Espíritu, para que yo pueda ser fortalecido para seguir y ser testigo del Evangelio en mi vida diaria a través de mis palabras y acciones. En momentos de vacilación, recuérdeme: ¿Si no soy yo, entonces quién proclamará el Evangelio? ¿Si no es ahora, entonces cuándo será proclamado el Evangelio? ¿Si no proclamo la verdad del Evangelio, entonces qué proclamaré?
Dios, Padre nuestro, rezo que a través del Espíritu Santo yo pueda oír la llamada de la Nueva Evangelización a profundizar mi fe, crecer en confianza para proclamar el Evangelio y vigorosamente atestiguar a la gracia salvadora de tu Hijo, Jesucristo, quien vive y reina contigo, en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, y es Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amen.

Somos La Parroquia de San Juan de Dios - Comprometidos a La Fe, La Familia, y La Comunidad!
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El primer día de mayo es reconocido como el día mundial del trabajo y conmemora seis mártires de Chicago, quienes fueron fusilados en 1886 cuando la policía trató de impedir una pelea campal durante una huelga de obreros. Curiosamente esta fecha no es reconocida por los Estados Unidos pero sí por muchos países latinoamericanos. En 1954, el Papa Pió XII apoyó los derechos del obrero incluyendo a san José Obrero en el calendario cristiano. Esta fiesta celebra y recuerda la doctrina social de la Iglesia católica, una doctrina que insiste que: “El mensaje cristiano no aparta a las personas de la edificación del mundo, ni les lleva a despreocuparse del bien de sus semejantes, sino que les impone esta colaboración como un deber”. (Gaudiam et Spes 34). Es justo conmemorar a san José como obrero en el día mundial del trabajado, porque este santo varón nos recuerda que al trabajar uno colabora con Dios en la creación continua del mundo y de la humanidad. El trabajo no sólo es derecho humano es una responsabilidad que se debe tomar con amor al prójimo.

ST. JOHN OF GOD // CATHOLIC CEMETERIES
As I announced a few weekends ago, I have asked Catholic Cemeteries to maintain and manage St. John of God Cemetery. SJOG Cemetery will still be the property of the parish; however, The grounds and graves will be cared for by the staff of Queen of All Saints Cemetery.
There are benefits and drawbacks to this change:
*The overall appearance and upkeep of SJOG Cemetery and the graves will improve. *Eventually (after a year) Catholic Cemeteries will install a sprinkler system and improve the roads in SJOG Cemetery. *All questions, issues, and grave sales/openings will be handled at the Office of Queen of All Saints (631-234-8297). *The cost of a grave and an opening at St. John of God Cemetery will be the same cost of a grave and opening as at Queen of all Saints. This figure will increase on September 1, 2013.
PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE INFORMATION ABOVE, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE PARISH.
God’s Blessings Always, Fr. Chris Nowak
SAN JUAN DE DIOS // CATHOLIC CEMETERIES
Como anuncié hace fines de semana, he pedido a Catholic Cemeteries mantener y manejar el Cementerio de San Juan de Dios. El Cementerio todavía será la pertenencia de la parroquia; sin embargo, El terreno y los sepulcros serán cuidados por el personal del Cementerio Queen of All Saints.
Debido a este cambio, ocurrirá lo siguiente: *El aspecto y mantenimiento de los sepulcros y el Cementerio de San Juan de Dios mejorará. *Pasado un tiempo (después de un año), Catholic Cemeteries instalará un sistema de regaderas y mejorarán los caminos en el Cementerio de San Juan de Dios. *Todo asunto, incluyendo preguntas, preocupaciones, y con respecto a la venta/abertura de sepulcros en el Cementerio de San Juan de Dios, será del encargo de la Oficina de Queen of All Saints (631-234-8297). *El costo de un sepulcro/una abertura en el Cementerio de San Juan de Dios será equivalente al costo de un sepulcro/una abertura en el Cementerio Queen of All Saints. Este precio aumentará el 1ro de Septiembre del 2013.
POR FAVOR, SI TIENE ALGUNA PREGUNTA SOBRE ESTA INFORMACIÓN, FAVOR DE COMUNICARLO CONMIGO EN LA PARROQUIA.
Bendiciones de Dios Siempre, Padre Chris Nowak
