Mass Intentions & Memorial Candles
If you would like to have a Mass offered for a particular
Intention or for someone who has died, or if you would like to dedicate
a candle to an intention or a loved one, please call the parish office. The
stipend for the Mass is $10. The candles are $30 for 1 month, $60 for 6
months, or $90 for one year. Our office staff will help you find an open
date and time for a Mass, or available candles for dedications.
It is the Lord! John the beloved immediately recognized Jesus. Peter, upon knowing it was
Jesus from John’s proclamation, jumped out of the boat to meet Jesus on the shore. According
to some literary commentaries, John recognized the Lord due to the familiar. Often we look at
the extraordinary to find and know God. But in reality God reveals himself in the ordinary
circumstances of our lives. Sometimes, God reveals himself in a situation where we refuse to
examine because it has become very normal and does not appeal to us anymore. For example,
we wake up in the morning knowing it is another new day. Perhaps it is another busy day at
work or another chaotic day in the house or another long day attending a meeting.
What’s beautiful in waking up every morning is the gift of another day to experience God. It
is another God-day.
We must be quick to know “It is the Lord” that make things happen in our lives everyday.
o0o
Feed my sheep. I wonder how it would feel to be asked by the Lord to take care of his sheep.
Status and honor may be attached to the personal request Christ asked Peter to do. The disciples were like us who can be
very enthusiastic in getting that special privilege. Fact is they were very competitive. For example, James and John requested the Lord to seat them on his left and right. The other disciples became indignant to these two men upon learning
that kind of request.
Jesus’ request was not one that means status or honor. If it was so, he could have picked John the beloved. He
chose Peter because he needs a pastor.
Pastoral care. “Feed my sheep.” Jesus asked Peter three times to feed his sheep to prove his love to him (Jesus).
Jesus reiterates the necessity of fraternal charity. “Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do to me.”
Pastoral care is a daunting task. I think, for one to be a pastor, he has to be like Peter – kind but consistent. I
remember Pope Francis saying that pastoral care is not divorced from doctrine. He reminds all pastors to be able to
charitably take care of the faith community but not forgetting that the centrality of doing pastoral care is the beauty of the
Church teachings.
When I lead you to what is important in our worship and formation, that only means I want to do authentic
pastoral care. Some of you mistake it as being too clerical and very traditional. I respect your opinion but I will do my
best to defend our faith community from any kind of abuse in liturgy and faith formation.
o0o
Heavenly liturgy. John saw the vision of heavenly liturgy. Every time we celebrate the Mass, we participate in
the heavenly liturgy. Is it not a beautiful place to be?
When we come to Mass, how do we act? Do we respect it and consider it as a privileged place to be with the saints and
holy ones of God?
Es el Señor! Juan el amado de inmediato reconoció a Jesús. Pedro, al saber que era Jesús porque Juan lo
proclamo, saltó de la barca para encontrarse con Jesús en la orilla. De acuerdo con algunos comentarios literarios, Juan
reconoció al Señor debido a lo familiar. A menudo nos fijamos en l extraordinario de encontrar y conocer a Dios. Pero,
en realidad, Dios se revela en las circunstancias ordinarias de nuestra vida. A veces, Dios se revela a sí mismo en una
situación en la que nos negamos a examinar, ya que ha llegado a ser muy normal y que ya no es mas de nuestro interés.
Por ejemplo, nos despertamos por la mañana sabiendo que es un día nuevo. Tal vez es un día más ocupado en el trabajo
u otro día caótico en la casa o en otro largo día de asistir a una reunión.
Que hermoso y bello es despertarse cada mañana es un regalo de un nuevo día para experimentar a Dios. Es otro
día de Dios.
Hay que ser rápidos para saber que "Es el Señor" el que hace que las cosas sucedan en nuestra vida cotidiana.
o0o
Apacienta mis ovejas. Me pregunto cómo se sentiría al ser preguntado por el Señor y que te pida cuidar de sus
ovejas. El estado y el honor se pueden unir a la petición personal de Cristo quien le pidió a Pedro que hiciera. Los
discípulos eran como nosotros que puede ser muy entusiasta en conseguir ese privilegio especial. El hecho es que
estaban muy competitivos. Por ejemplo, Santiago y Juan pidieron al Señor que los sentara uno a su izquierda y el otro a
su derecha. Los demás discípulos se indignaron de estos dos hombres al saber su tipo de demanda.
La petición de Jesús no era uno que significa el estado o el honor. Si era así, él podría haber elegido a Juan el
amado. Él escogió a Pedro porque necesitaba un pastor.
(continua en la pagina próxima)
Cuidado pastoral. "Apacienta mis ovejas." Jesús le preguntó a Pedro tres veces que alimentara a sus ovejas para
demostrarle su amor a él ( a Jesús). Jesús reitera la necesidad de la caridad fraterna. "Hagan lo que hagan al más pequeño
de mis hermanos, me lo hace a mí."
La atención y el cuidado pastoral es una tarea de enormes proporciones. Creo que, para que uno sea un pastor, uno
tiene que ser como Pedro amable, pero consistente. Recuerdo que el Papa Francisco dijo que el cuidado pastoral no es
estar separada de la doctrina. El le recuerda a todos los pastores para poder tomar caritativamente cuidado de la
comunidad de fe, pero sin olvidar que la centralidad de hacer pastoral es la belleza de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia.
Cuando te guío a lo que es importante en nuestro culto y formación, eso sólo significa que quiero ser un pastoral
auténtico que cuida y que se preocupa por los demás. Pero algunos de ustedes lo confunde al pensar que soy demasiado
clerical y muy tradicional. Respeto su opinión, pero haré todo lo posible para defender a nuestra comunidad de fe de
cualquier tipo de abuso en la formación de la liturgia y la fe.
o0o
Liturgia celestial. Juan vio la visión de la liturgia celestial. Cada vez que celebramos la misa, participamos en la
liturgia celestial. ¿No es acaso un lugar hermoso para estar?
Cuando venimos a misa, ¿cómo actuamos o nos comportamos? ¿Respetamos y la consideramos como un lugar
privilegiado para estar con los Santos y los ángeles de Dios?

Snacks for Packs (S4P)
This is a food program administered by Fish and
approved by Greater Albany Public Schools (GAPS).
It provides packs of nutritious, child-friendly “snacks” to students attending a GAPS school, and who are identified as experiencing food insecurity, to consume on the weekends while away from the schools’ breakfast
and lunch programs.
Fish would love if the parishioners of St. Mary’s would contribute
granola bars and cereal bars. There will be a Fish collection
barrel near the back entrance off the playground parking lot to put them
in. This will run over the next couple weekends, so if you can’t help out
today, please bring some in any time up thru May 8th. Thank you.
