A LETTER FROM GOD
Good Day:
I am the Lord your God. Today, I will be handling all of
your problems. Please remember that I do not need your
help. If the Devil happens to deliver a situation to you that
you cannot handle, DO NOT attempt to resolve it. Kindly
put it in the SFJTD (Something For Jesus To Do). It will
be addressed in MY time, not yours.
Once the matter is placed in the box, do not hold on to it
or attempt to remove it. Holding on for removal will
delay the resolution of your problem. If it is a situation
that you think you are capable of handling, please
consult Me in prayer to be sure that it is the proper
resolution.
Because I do not sleep, nor do I slumber, there is no need
for you to lose any sleep. Rest my child. If you need to
contact Me, I am only a prayer away.
Love Eternally, The Lord Your God

HUMOR CORNER
MOTHER’S DAY HUMOR
A mother was surprised on Mother’s
Day by her children who ordered her to stay in
bed in the morning. She lay here looking
forward to breakfast in bed, as the smell of
bacon wafted up the stairs. After a long while,
though, she became concerned and headed
downstairs to see if there was a problem. She
found both of her children sitting at the table,
eating bacon and eggs. Surprised, she asked
them what was wrong. “Nothing,” said the
children. “We thought we’d surprise you for
Mother’s Day and cook our own breakfast.”
MOTHER’S DAY
“No man is poor who has had a godly mother”
Abraham Lincoln
“An ounce of mother is worth a ton of priest.”
Spanish proverb
“The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”
John Gary
“People are what their mothers make them”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Within a few weeks, summer vacations will
begin, and many families will leave Key
Biscayne to take a break elsewhere. Since
during these months the Mass attendance is
reduced, beginning Sunday, May 25th, until
August 31st, 2014, the Mass schedule will be as
follows:
9:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., and 6:00 P.M. (English)
12:45 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. (Spanish)
This of course combines the Masses at 8:30 am
and 10:00 am into only one at 9:00 am. At the
same time, the Mass at 11:30 am will be
advanced to 11:00 am. The Saturday Mass will
continue as always at 5:30 pm. On September
7th, we will return to the regular schedule.

Fourth Sunday of Easter
He Himself bore our sins in His body upon the cross,
So that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness.
— 1 Peter 2:24a
Sunday’s Message
VIRGIN MARY, COME WALK WITH US
John 10: 1 - 10
“The sheep hear the shepherd’s
voice and he calls his own sheep
by name and leads them out…”
That feeling of purpose, that
sense of being part of something
mysterious and meaningful, is the
voice of Christ, the Good
Shepherd, calling us follow Him
in His life of selfless compassion
and humble generosity.
The challenge facing every
disciple of Jesus is to listen for
His voice in the midst of
competing voices demanding our
attention, conflicting noises
assaulting our senses, dissonant
messages noisily challenging our
beliefs and values.
Pastor’s Notes
At times we invite a friend or neighbor to walk
with us. Having their company makes the walk
shorter and less boring. The beauty of the morning
or evening is more enjoyable with the pleasure of
the conversation. Every morning, as I leave the
rectory, start up the car and begin my daily work,
I like to invite Mother Mary to come along with
me.
This invitation to her signifies many things. I see in Mary the most
inspiring model of an authentic Christian. I want to hear from her lips
the same command that she gave at the wedding feast of Cana: "Do
whatever He tells you." (John 2:5...) And at the end of the day, I
realize that it was valuable to follow her counsel. Asking Mary to walk
at my side helps me to feel closer to Christ. Mary is a Mother who
always leads us to Jesus, her Son and our Savior.
Inviting Mary to walk with us reminds me of her long trip from
Nazareth to the home of Elizabeth and Zachary. Her journey, long
and difficult, while pregnant with her Child Jesus, is motivated by
love and service. "In those days, Mary arose and went
immediately to the mountainous region of Judea. She entered
the house, and the child in the womb of Elizabeth leaped for
joy. Mary stayed there 3 months, and afterwards, returned to
her house." (Luke 1:39-56)
We struggle to hear in the midst
of trauma and turmoil, speaking
to us in the quiet of our hearts,
pointing out the path of what is
real and lasting and of God.
How I would rejoice if Mary's company and counsel, always leading
to her Son, would make the child within me and all of us leap for
joy…that child who is innocent and trusting, and at the same time
selfish and rebellious…a child of dreams fulfilled or of dreams denied.
It is a child who has become an adult, and who sometimes forgets that
we always need someone stronger and wiser than ourselves…Christ,
our Savior and Best Friend.
To live faith that is authentic is
to discover the “role” Christ
calls us to “play” –the role of
disciple, the work that inspires us
to acts of loving compassion,
Christ-like generosity, and
Gospel-inspired justice.
The companionship of Mary journeying with us truly makes this
child leap for joy, because it is her Son, whom she offers us, who fills
us with His Spirit. He is the One who opens our eyes to the nearness of
the Savior. Let us walk beside Mary during this month of May, the
month of Mary. It is the month of mothers, of flowers, of First
Communions, of the Holy Spirit, of graduations, beautiful memories
and of nostalgia. Let us celebrate our Faith, full of joy, convinced that
Christ is living among us and that His Mother Mary accompanies us
on our journey of life.

Cuarto Domingo de Pascua
Cargado con nuestros pecados, subió al madero de la cruz,
para que, muertos al pecado, vivamos para la justicia.
— 1 Pedro 2:24a
Mensaje del Domingo
Juan 10, 1 - 10
“Las ovejas oyen la voz del
Pastor. El las llama por su
nombre y las guía…”
Oír la voz de Dios es tener un
objetivo en la vida, es sentir que
uno es parte de algo misterioso y
con sentido. Esta es la voz del
Buen Pastor, que nos llama a
seguirle e imitarle en una vida de
compasión y humilde generosidad.
El desafío que tiene que
enfrentar todo discípulo,
dispuesto a seguir al Maestro, es
oír la voz de Cristo en medio de
otras muchas voces, que
compiten y exigen nuestra
atención; son voces conflictivas
que asaltan nuestros sentidos,
nos envían mensajes confusos y
desafían nuestras creencias y
valores.
Si nos esforzamos por escuchar
la voz del Pastor en medio de
traumas y dificultades, veremos
que esa voz se dirige a nuestros
corazones en el silencio y la paz,
es la voz que nos señala el
camino verdadero, duradero y
que viene de Dios.
Vivir la fe auténticamente es
descubrir “el papel” que Cristo
nos llama a realizar como
discípulos suyos, es descubrir el
trabajo que nos inspira a actuar
llenos de compasión, amor, de
una generosidad como la de
Cristo y de una justicia inspirada
en el Evangelio.
VIRGEN MARIA,
VEN CON NOSOTROS A CAMINAR
A veces invitamos a un amigo o vecino a caminar
con nosotros. Con su compañía el recorrido se
hace menos largo y aburrido y la belleza del
amanecer o de la tarde se disfruta mejor al calor
de la conversación. Cada mañana, al salir de casa,
Comentarios
del Párroco
al arrancar el automóvil, al comenzar la tarea
diaria… me gusta invitar a nuestra Madre María a
que venga conmigo a caminar.
Esta invitación significa muchas cosas: quiero ver en María el modelo
más desafiante de una auténtica cristiana; quiero escuchar de sus
labios el mismo mandato que surge en las bodas de Cana de Galilea:
“Hagan lo que mi Hijo les diga” -Juan 2, 5-. Y al final de día me
doy cuenta que vale la pena seguir su consejo. Pedir que María
camine a mi lado me ayuda a sentirme más cerca de Cristo. Maria es
la Madre que siempre nos lleva hacia Jesús, su Hijo y nuestro
Salvador.
Invitar a María a caminar con nosotros me hace pensar en su largo
peregrinar desde Nazaret hasta la casa de Isabel y Zacarías. Su
caminar, largo y difícil, pues llevaba en su seno al Niño-Dios, está
motivado por el amor y el servicio: “En aquellos días se levantó
María y se fue con prontitud a la región montañosa de Judea.
Entró en la casa y el niño que llevaba Isabel en su seno saltó
de gozo. Allí permaneció María 3 meses y después se volvió
a su casa”. - Lucas 1, 39-56 ­
Como me gustaría que la presencia y la palabra de María, siempre
trayéndonos al Hijo, haga saltar de gozo dentro de mi al niño que
todos llevamos dentro: al niño inocente e ingenuo o al travieso y
egoísta; al niño de los sueños logrados o de los sueños frustrados; al
niño que se ha hecho adulto y se ha olvidado de que siempre
necesitamos de alguien más fuerte y más sabio que nosotros. Y este es
Cristo, nuestro Salvador y el mejor de los amigos.
La compañía de María caminando con nosotros hace que “salte de
gozo el niño”, pues es el Hijo, que ella nos ofrece, el que nos llena de
su Espíritu y hace que veamos que la Salvación está cerca.
Caminemos al lado de María en este mes de Mayo: mes de María, mes
de las madres, mes de las flores, mes de primeras comuniones, mes del
Espíritu Santo, mes de graduaciones, mes de bellos recuerdos y de
nostalgias nobles. Celebremos llenos de gozo nuestra fe, convencidos
de que Cristo vive y que María nos acompaña en nuestro caminar.

EN VERANO
CAMBIA HORARIO DE MISAS
Dentro de unos días comenzarán las vacaciones
de verano y muchas familias dejarán Key
Biscayne para tomar un descanso fuera de la
Isla. Dado que en estos meses disminuye la
asistencia a la Iglesia; a partir del domingo, día
25 de mayo hasta el 31 de agosto de 2014, el
horario de misas de los domingos en St. Agnes
será así:
9:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M. y 6:00 P.M. (English)
12:45 P.M. y 7:30 P.M. (Español)
El cambio supone reducir las misas de 8:30 A.M.
y 10:00 A.M. a una sola, a las 9:00 AM. Al mismo
tiempo la misa de 11:30 A.M. se adelanta media
hora, en estos meses será a las 11:00 A.M. La
misa de los sábados seguirá como siempre a las
5:30 P.M.. El domingo, día 7 de septiembre
regresaremos al horario de siempre.

EL HIJO PREDILECTO DE MAMA
“Cierto día le preguntaron a una Madre de la
que se decía ser sabia: Tú tienes varios hijos,
¿Cuál de ellos es tu preferido?
La mujer respondió:
Tengo mis preferencias por el menor de ellos
hasta que se haga mayor; por el que está lejos,
hasta que regrese; por el que está enfermo,
hasta que se cure; por el que está prisionero,
hasta que recupere su libertad; por el que pasa
dificultades, hasta que las haya superado…”
Anónimo
ANDAR, CORRER Y VOLAR
Si te llama tu hermano, anda;
Si te llama tu padre, corre.
Pero si te llama tu madre, vuela.
QUE DIOS BENDIGA A LAS MADRES
Feliz tú a los ojos de Dios por ser madre.
Cuando tienes cuidado de tus hijos,
entonces alimentas al hambriento,
confortas al enfermo, consuelas al triste,
curas al que tiene roto su corazón.
Tú has hecho de maestra, de enfermera,
de consejera y de guia.
Has jugado con sus hijos.
Has rezado con ellos.
Y les has dado todo tu amor y tu atención.
Las flores de este día te tienen que recordar
que tú eres una rosa preciosa
en el jardín de Dios.
Tú eres una linda flor para tus hijos,
ya que siempre les das alegría y gozo.
Felices también las madres
que han encontrado
el descanso eterno junto a Dios.
Que las semillas de fe y de amor
que ellas plantaron entre nosotros continuen
floreciendo y creciendo,
Hoy, en el Día de las madres, y siempre.
Amén.
