A Message from Fr. Jossy’s Desk:

SEVENTH SUNDAY OF EASTER 2021 B

We have just heard Jesus’ prayer for us:

“Holy Father, keep them in your name that you

have given me,

so that they may be one just as we are one.

I speak this in the world

so that they may share my joy completely.

Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.

As you sent me into the world,

so I sent them into the world.”

Jesus died and rose to make this prayer for us

possible. Jesus tells us that he sends us into the world

just as He was sent into the world by his Father.

With Jesus as our example, companion and guide, as

we express our love for one another in daily life, God

is working through us to transform the division and

strife of our world into unity and peace. It’s hard not

to be stirred by Jesus’ words.

We heard Jesus give us a promise in the Gospel: to

the extent that we strive to live together in the name

of the Father and of His Son (and enlivened, of

course, by the Spirit) then our joy will be complete!

Let us ask him to strengthen us in our efforts today to

be a living witness of God’s great love through our

attempts to be ‘one’ with one another. May God be

praised in us!

Rev. Jossy Vattothu, CMI Parochial Vicar

Un Mensaje del Padre Jossy:

SEPTIMO DOMINGO DE PASCUA 2021 B

Acabamos de escuchar la oración de Jesús por

nosotros:

“Santo Padre, guárdalos en tu nombre

que me has dado,

para que sean uno como nosotros.

Hablo esto en el mundo

para que compartan mi alegría por completo.

Consagralos en la verdad. Tu palabra es verdad.

Como me enviaste al mundo

así que los envié al mundo ".

Jesús murió y resucitó para hacer posible esta

oración por nosotros. Jesús nos dice que nos envía al

mundo tal como lo envió su Padre. Con Jesús como

nuestro ejemplo, compañero y guía, mientras

expresamos nuestro amor mutuo en la vida diaria,

Dios está obrando a través de nosotros para

transformar la división y la lucha de nuestro mundo

en unidad y paz. Es difícil no sentirse conmovido por

las palabras de Jesús.

Escuchamos a Jesús darnos una promesa en el

Evangelio: en la medida en que nos esforzamos por

vivir juntos en el nombre del Padre y de Su Hijo (y

animados, por supuesto, por el Espíritu), ¡entonces

nuestro gozo será completo! Pidámosle que nos

fortalezca en nuestros esfuerzos de hoy para ser un

testimonio vivo del gran amor de Dios a través de

nuestros intentos de ser "uno" los unos con los otros.

¡Alabado sea Dios en nosotros!

Padre Jossy Vattothu, CMI Vicario Parroquial

Prayer for the Year of St. Joseph

O Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus and

husband of Mary, we pray to you for

guidance in this “Year of Saint Joseph” as

proclaimed by Pope Francis.

By your example we have been encouraged

in our daily work and in parenting our

children. You teach us to accept others as

they are, without exception.

To you our Heavenly Father entrusted his

Son, Jesus Christ. In you Our Lady placed

her love and trust. And through your

mentoring, Jesus grew into his adult life.

We praise you and ask of you to defend us

and our loved ones from every evil and guide

us with your grace and mercy.

Amen.

Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this

moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen.
