Dear Parishioners and Visitors

May 13, 2012
sixth sunday of easter
Dear Parishioners and Visitors,
On this special weekend, we give thanks to God for all our mothers, mothers-tobe and those who desire in their heart to be mothers. We also remember fondly
our mothers who have gone before us and we pray they experience eternal joy
with the Father.
On this Mother’s Day weekend, we are also mindful of our First Holy
Communicants who will receive the Lord for the very first time in such an
intimate way. I extend a warm welcome to those family members who are here
with us on this most important day. I would like to express my sincere gratitude
to the parents, the first teachers of our faith, and to the teachers and catechists in
our PSR program and our school community.

How shall I repay the Lord for
his goodness to me?” Psalm 116
God’s love for us is the common theme of
today’s Scripture passages. His love is
manifested through the gift of His Son,
Jesus, who commands us to love one
another as He has loved us. Jesus proclaims
that there is no greater love than to lay down
one’s life for a friend. In gratitude for God’s
gifts, how are we, as good stewards,
returning his love to God and neighbor?

All current and past parents, current and former staff,
alumni, grandparents and friends of Christ the King
School are invited to a Cocktail Reception for Mrs.
Peggy Warner. Mrs. Warner has served as Principal of
Christ the King School for 23 years and will be retiring at the end of the school

Grace Scholars
At each Mass this last weekend, the GRACE Scholars program
was presented as a way for you to support Catholic education
with taxes you already owe. If it sounds too good to be true…it isn’t!
What is GRACE Scholars, Inc.?
GRACE Scholars is the Archdiocesan Student Scholarship Organization (SSO)
allowed by law through the Georgia Private School Tax Credit. The program
allows Georgia taxpayers to designate a portion of their state tax obligation, to
Christ the King School to be used as financial aid. Each dollar donated to the
GRACE Scholars program is returned to the donor the following year as a state tax
refund. In addition, all donations can be included on federal tax returns as a
charitable donation.
There are currently 9 students at CKS who are on GRACE Scholarships, with the
intent to add more each year.
How to Contribute:
To participate, all donors must request approval from the Georgia Department of
Revenue. Once approved, donors will receive written notice that they can
contribute directly to GRACE Scholars. Donors then need to fill out a designation
form and mail that along with their check, to GRACE Scholars, Inc. Both the
approval form (TP1) and designation form are available at
www.gracescholars.com.
All requests for approval are determined on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once
the $51.5M cap is met for 2012, the State of Georgia will no longer approve
requests to participate. In 2011, the cap for this program was met on November
9, with the expectation that it will be met in June this year. All donors are
encouraged to participate as early as possible. If you have any further questions
about this program, please do not hesitate to contact Camille Naughton at
[email protected] or 404-233-0383 ext. 403.

deportment, incarceration or
abandonment.
Who are Stephen Ministers?
They are well trained parish members commissioned to provide oneto-one caring lay ministry to persons in crisis such as a person
grieving from a divorce, the loss of a loved one, of a job, health
debilitation, living a time of pain or lack of direction. They are
grounded in Jesus’ command to love one another.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28

CTK Food Drive
for Children and
Families in Need
Spring is here, and children all
across our city will soon leave their
classrooms. Nearly 1 in 5 children
in Georgia do not
have enough food,
and for many of those
children, school
provided their only
full meals of the day.
During the summer,
the need for food donations
increases because children who may
get one or two meals at school will
be eating three meals a day at home.
This can be a heavy burden for
families whose budgets are already
stretched thin.
You can help! Christ the King is
sponsoring a May Food Drive for
Buckhead Christian Ministry in
order to give families a
head start in feeding
their kids during the
summer. Bags with
food lists will be
distributed. Please fill
and return your bags
to the BCM containers next to the
reception desk. Donations can also
be made online at the Cathedral
website under Giving.
We’ll deliver your gifts to BCM —
together, we will make sure that
hungry children have enough food
to eat this summer.
Buckhead Christian Ministry hears
those families knocking and sees
their hungry faces, and that’s why
BCM is reaching out to Christ the
King for help during this critical
time.
Thank you for helping
families throughout Atlanta!

JESÚS NOS AMÓ PRIMERO
La primera lectura de hoy sugiere la inminente venida del Espíritu Santo. Esta
venida es una inseparable dimension de la resurrección del Señor: el Espíritu Santo
es el espíritu del Cristo resucitado trabajando en el mundo. Especialmente en
aquellos incorporados a Cristo por el Bautismo.
El pequeño texto de la segunda lectura es una joya de la Biblia. Transmite la esencia
del Cristianismo y del misterio de la humanidad: el hecho de que todo amor
(cualquier forma de él) viene de Dios, aun si la gente no lo advierte. El hecho de
que Dios nos amó primeramente, que toda nuesta vida y futuro es el resultado de
este amor, y nuesta manera de vivir depende de la respuesta a ese amor.
El Evangelio de hoy es sobre el misterio del amor. Dios nos amó antes que nosotros
lo descubriéramos y lo amaramos a El, expresado en las propias palabras de Jesús.
Dios ideas importantes: Primero: Si aceptamos el amor gratuito de Dios (lo que no
es nada fácil, debido al orgullo humano) nosotros no podemos sino amar a nuestros
hermanos y hermanas, gratuitamente. El amor fraterno es el amor de Dios
trabajando en nuestros corazones.
Segundo: Jesús nos escogió como sus amigos. Para Jesús, la amistad es la suprema
expresión del amor. Aun del amor marital, pues el matrimonio sin amistad no dura
mucho.
Ser amigo de Jesús es el punto principal de la espiritualidad cristiana. Esta amistad
nos dirige a la oración. (Los amigos deben cultivar su amistad, y con Jesús esto se
hace a través de la amistad, y con Jesús esto se hace a través de la oración y vida
sacramental).
La amistad comprende nuesta lealtad y fidelidad. Comprende el compartir. Y
comprende la capacidad de comenzar nuevamente, indefinidamente, en las crisis y
desavenencias.
Y también comprende nuestra lealtad y fidelidad. Comprende el compartir. Y
comprende la capacidad de comenzar nuevamente, indefinidamente, en las crisis y
desavenencias.
Y también comprende la necesidad mutua. Nosotros damos por hecho que
necesitamos a Jesús, pero normalmente olvidamos la necesidad que Jesús tiene de
nuestra amistad y apoyo.
ÚLTIMA OPORTUNIDAD
Debido a la gran demanda, ofreceremos una última oportunidad
para que las familias se puedan tomar la foto para nuestro
Album Fotográfico del 75 Aniversario de la Catedral. Nuestros
fotógrafos estarán en la plaza y en la entrada de la Catedral el

oportunidad de ser parte de nuestra historia!
SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
MAY 13, 2012
ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LOS BIENES DE DIOS
El amor de Dios por nosotros es tema común en las lecturas de hoy. Su amor es
manifestado a través de Su hijo, Jesús, quien nos da el mandamiento de amarnos
los unos a los otros como El nos ha amado. Jesús proclama que no hay amor más
grande que dar nuestra vida por nuestros amigos. En gratitud al amor de Dios,
¿estamos nosotros, como buenos administradores, devolviendo este amor a Dios
y a nuestros hermanos?

QUERIDOS PARROQUIANOS Y VISITANTES,
En este fin de semana tan especial, le damos a gracias a Dios por nuestras madres,
las que serán madres y quienes tienen en sus corazones el deseo de ser madres.
En este día, recordamos especialmente a nuestras madres que han partido antes
que nosotros y pedimos que estén gozando de la Gracia eterna con nuestro Padre.
En este fin de semana del Día de la Madre, también tenemos presentes a nuestros
niños que harán la Primera Comunión, este fin de semana y el próximo, y que
recibirán al Señor por primera vez en esta manera tan íntima. Extiendo una cálida
bienvenida a todos los familiares que están acompañándonos en este día tan especial. Quiero expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a los padres de familia, los
primeros maestros de nuestra fe, y a las catequistas de nuestra parroquia.
Mi oración para estos niños es que tanto su primera como última comunión, así
como todas sus comuniones, sean siempre una fuente de fuera y esperanza en su
peregrinación en la tierra.
Que Dios los bendiga,
Padre Frank McNamee
Pastor
