“The place that God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness
and the world’s deep hunger meet.” ~Frederick Buechner (reflecting
on the meaning of VOCATION)

The Gospel of Mark
Tuesdays—7:30 - 9 PM
June 16, 23, 30
Rooms 009 & 010, Carnevale Center
or the remainder of 2015, the Sunday Gospel reading will be
taken from the Gospel of Mark, which is generally regarded
to be the first of the four Gospels to have been written.
To help us listen more attentively to the Sunday Gospel reading
and apply it to our own lives, these four presentations will
provide an overview of the Gospel of Mark and its place among
the NT Gospels - followed by an examination of its main themes
and emphases.
Select passages will be read in detail to illustrate the key points
that the evangelist makes about Jesus and Christian discipleship.
This series will be presented by Paul D. Sansone, who studied
scripture at The Catholic University of America (Washington,
DC) and has been active in adult faith formation and education
for many years.

St. Mary’s School News
The Fifth Grade students have just completed the DARE
Program. DARE is an acronym for Drug Abuse Resistance
Education, an international program that seeks to prevent the
use of controlled drugs, membership in gangs and violent
behavior. Instructors in the DARE program are local police officers
who must undergo extensive training. This year St. Mary’s students
were fortunate to have two instructors, Officer Steve Kouefati and
Sargent Ryan Cichon. We are very grateful to these officers for their
dedication to our students and the DARE program.
As part of the program, the students were asked to write an essay. Two
winners were chosen to read their essays at the DARE Graduation.
Congratulations to Connor Bankuti and Logan Andrade.

Misa en Español
Los domingos a las 9:00AM en el Centro Carnevale (10 Lenox Ave,
Pompton Lakes, NJ). Durante el año celebramos varias eucaristías
en la iglesia principal. Algunas celebraciones son bilingües como
la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, la Vigilia Pascual, y el
Día de Acción de Gracias (Thanksgiving)
Domingo 7 de junio, 2015- Solemnidad del Cuerpo y la
Sangre de Cristo- Corpus Christi
El tema central que nos ocupa en esta solemnidad del Corpus
Christi es la Alianza de Dios con los hombres. El pacto de Dios
con el pueblo de Israel queda sellado en el Sinaí, por mediación
de Moisés, con la sangre de los animales, como lo presenta la
primera lectura. La nueva Alianza se sella también con la sangre
de la víctima; pero aquí quien se ofrece es Jesucristo, sumo
Sacerdote y Mediador, presentado por la carta a los Hebreos. En
la Última Cena, Cristo anticipa sacramentalmente su oblación,
y establece, por medio de su Cuerpo y de su Sangre, la nueva y
definitiva Alianza; aquella que nos revela el rostro misericordioso
de Dios y la salvación del género humano, según san Marcos.
DOMINGO 14 DE JUNIO 2015- XI Domingo Ordinario
“¿Con qué compararemos el Reino de Dios? ¿Con qué parábola
lo podremos representar? Es como una semilla de mostaza que,
cuando se siembra, es la más pequeña de las semillas; pero una vez
sembrada, crece y se convierte en el mayor de los arbustos y echa
ramas tan grandes, que los pájaros pueden anidar a su sombra”.
Marcos 4:30-32
Jesucristo enseña que el Reino lleva la fuerza en sí mismo, aunque
parezca muy pequeño. A nosotros nos queda únicamente acogerlo
y darle calor para que crezca. Nuestra pequeñez debe complacerse
en la grandeza que lleva en sí el Reino, ese Reino que va dentro de
nosotros. Por algo Jesús nos dijo que la virtud más importante que
debemos imitar en Él es la humildad. Pidámosle que nos dé fe y
humildad, aunque sea como un granito de mostaza, pero auténtica
fe en Él y en la fuerza de su Reino.

FELICITACIONES
Bendito seas, Señor
Dios de toda la creación.
En tu bondad
nos has creado.
En tu misericordia
nos has redimido,
y en tu siempre amorosa sabiduría
nos sostienes con tu Espíritu.
Nos has dado el don de la fe,
el don de la comunidad de Santa María
y el don de la vocación a
ser tus discípulos.
Te rogamos que ahora nos des los dones de:
la iluminación, para que
a través de nuestras oraciones
podamos conocer
tu santo y verdadero mandamiento;
el discipulado,
para que podamos responder
a las necesidades de la comunidad
y no sólo a nuestras propias necesidades, y
la gratitud, para que, por el bien común,
podamos entregarnos a los demás.
¡Que descubramos lo que nos
corresponde hacer a cada uno, y que
hagamos buenas obras cada día
por el bien de tu Reino!
Amén.
