United in faith and guided by the Holy Spirit
From the Pastor’s Desk:
This is why Catholics still practice
the ancient tradition of making
frequent visits to the Eucharist
throughout the day. Even in big
cities today, when you go into a
Catholic Church, you can almost
always find someone kneeling before the altar where the
Tabernacle is kept. The red candle burning near the
tabernacle, the sanctuary, or Presence, lamp, is a constant
reminder that Christ is truly present there, and his love is
burning for us. This is also why Catholics still have the
tradition of making the sign of the cross when they drive
by a Catholic Church. Even if we don't have time to stop
and make a visit to our Lord, to thank him for his
blessings and tell him all our needs and sorrows, by
making the sign of the cross we show our faith in and
appreciation for his constant, miraculous presence. St
Peter Julian Eymard [AYE-mard], who lived in France in
the 1800s, beautifully explained how Christ's constant
presence in the Eucharist shows, without a doubt, that
Jesus' love for us, even for the most hardened sinner, has
no limits. Speaking of Jesus in the Eucharist, St Peter
says: "He loves, He hopes, He waits. If He came down on
our altars on certain days only, some sinner, on being
moved to repentance, might have to look for Him, and not
finding Him, might have to wait. Our Lord prefers to wait
Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep him
waiting one instant."
St.Padre Pio’s prayer of thanksgiving after Mass
“Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You
present so that I do not forget You. You know how easily
I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your
strength, that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life, and without You,
I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light, and without
You, I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow
You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much,
and always be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
Stay with me, Lord, for as poor as my soul is, I want it to
be a place of consolation for You, a nest of love.
Stay with me, Jesus, for it is getting late, the day is coming
to a close, and life passes; death, judgment, eternity
approach. It is necessary to renew my strength.

Por esta razón los
Católicos aún
practican la antigua tradición de hacer frecuentes visitas a la
Eucaristía durante todo el día. Incluso en las grandes
ciudades hoy en día, cuando se entra en una Iglesia
Católica, casi siempre encontrará a alguien arrodillado ante
el altar donde está el Tabernáculo. La vela roja ardiente
cerca del Tabernáculo, el Santuario o Presencia, la lámpara,
es un recordatorio constante de que Cristo está realmente
presente allí, y su amor arde por nosotros. Esta es la razón
por la cual también los Católicos todavía tienen la tradición
de hacer la Señal de la Cruz cuando conducen por una
Iglesia Católica. Incluso si no tenemos tiempo para parar y
hacer una visita a Nuestro Señor, para darle las gracias por
sus bendiciones y decirle nuestras necesidades y angustias,
haciendo la Señal de la Cruz mostramos nuestra fe y
agradecimiento por su presencia milagrosa constante. San
Pedro Julián Eymard [AYE-mard], que vivió en Francia en la
década de 1800, explicó maravillosamente cómo la
presencia constante de Cristo en la Eucaristía demuestra,
sin lugar a dudas, que el amor de Jesús hacia nosotros,
incluso por el pecador más empedernido, no tiene límites.
Hablando de Jesús en la Eucaristía, San Pedro dice: "Él
ama, Él tiene fe, Él espera. Si Él bajara a nuestros altares
solamente en ciertos días, un pecador, al ser movido al
arrepentimiento, podría tener que buscarlo y no encontrarlo,
podría tener que esperar. Nuestro Señor prefiere esperar
por años Él mismo por el pecador, antes de mantenerle en
espera un instante."
Nota de nuestro pastor:
Oración de acción de gracia del Padre Pío después de la
Misa:
Quédate conmigo, Señor, porque es necesario tenerte
presente para que Yo no te pueda olvidar. Tú sabes que tan
fácilmente te abandono.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, porque Yo soy débil y necesito de
tu fortaleza, para que no caiga tan frecuentemente.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, porque tú eres mi vida y sin Ti Yo
estoy sin fervor.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, porque tú eres mi luz y sin ti yo
estoy en la oscuridad.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, para mostrarme tu voluntad.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, para que Yo pueda escuchar tu
voz y seguirte.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, porque Yo deseo amarte mucho y
siempre estar en tu compañía.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, si tú deseas que Yo sea fiel a ti.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, pobre como mi alma es, Yo deseo
que sea un lugar de consolación para Ti, un nido de amor.
Quédate conmigo, Señor, porque se hace tarde y el día se
está terminando, y la vida pasa. La muerte, el juicio y la
eternidad se acercan. Es necesario renovar mi fortaleza.

One-Liner
An elderly woman was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in
another part of the country. When she put the heavy package on the
counter, the postal clerk asked, "Is there anything breakable in here?"
"Just the Ten Commandments," the lady replied.

VATICAN CORNER The late Pope John Paul
II in March 2000 celebrated the new millennium by
visiting 15 Holy Land sites. One site: Wadi al
Kharrar, or Valley of the Trickling Water, in Jordan
on the East side of the Jordan River, was said to be
the place where John the Baptist baptized the adult
Jesus. But Pope John Paul II was persuaded by
Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat to also
visit a rival baptismal site of Jesus just a few miles
away from the first, across the muddy Jordan River,
in the West Bank that is controlled by Israel: Qasr
Al-Yahud. It was a site revered by Christian pilgrims
for more than a thousand years, having 7 churches
and monasteries. Because politics involved and of the millions of dollars in annual tourism income at stake, the
Vatican and Pope John Paul ll maintained neutrality by visiting both sites and noting that "both banks are visited
by hosts of pilgrims honoring the baptism of the Lord." Archeologists at both sites have found remains of
ancient Christian churches and monasteries and believe that they might have been built to commemorate Jesus'
baptism. The West Bank site has been in neglect for many years. Ever since the 6-day Arab-Israeli war in 1967
the West Bank site which is located in a closed military border zone has been denied to Christian because it had
been heavily mined and booby trapped by the Israelis to ward off attacks from across the border. But Israel
signed a peace treaty with Jordan in 1994 and their border has been relatively quiet for more than 20 years. A
very small area of the mined site was cleared in 2000 to allow a narrow access to the river, enabling pilgrims and
Pope John Paul II to come and visit. Israel cleared more of the baptismal site in 2011 and it has since become a
popular attraction for visiting Christian pilgrims. However, even today in 2016, the vast majority of the site
remains mined and wrapped in barb wire. Israeli defense officials estimate that the area is littered with more than
3,000 antipersonnel and antitank mines and an unknown number of improvised explosive devices. In May, 2016,
after working very hard with both the Israeli and the Palestinian authorities and with all the Christian
denominations that have churches on the sacred site, the British charity, the Halo Trust, a U.S. and U.K.
demining group, acquired permission for the clearing of mines and unexploded ordinance from the rest of the
for Princess Diana to walk through an Angolan minefield in 1997. The West Bank site is about 136 acres and the
plan is to clear all the mines within two years. The project is described as an example of a great ecumenical
cooperative spirit and very uplifting that this sacred site where churches were first constructed in 400West Bank
site. The Halo Trust has been doing demining work since 1988 but came to global prominence when it arranged
AD is being returned to its proper use. One problem that still remains is raising the 3 million dollars needed to
complete the de-mining operations and an appeal is being made to all Christians to help fund this project.
