Page Two THE PARISH AS ONE BODY “If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? But as it is, God placed the parts, each one of them, in the body as he intended… The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I do not need you,’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I do not need you.’ Indeed, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are all the more necessary . Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. “ (1 Cor. 12:17-25) The Seven Essen al Elements of Parish Life constantly interrelate, each nurturing and suppor ng the other with the communal celebra on of Sunday Eucharist at the center.

M I K E P O N TA R E L L I , O . S . M . For the last two weeks with you I have established a definition of Christian faith as an encounter with God as He has revealed Himself in Christ. By our faith in Jesus God allows us in on the secret of who He is and what He is all about. That faith experience necessitates reflection and explanation; faith is always interpreted. The interpretation, called theology, must be guided by a process which is more or less “scientific”, meaning that it is structured. Theology has been defined as “faith seeking understanding.” We should desire to grow in understanding of the faith. It might happen that you realize that your understanding of numbers and their relationships grew from simple arithmetic to complex mathematics, reading progressed from simple stories to post-modern literature, and art from stick figures to complicated anatomically correct human figures, BUT your understanding of God is still at an immature level and you might well think “God is an immature concept.” Consider this: “My concept of God, my experience of God, my language to express God might be immature. Since I was young all realities have changed – the one reality which has changed the most is me.” I encourage you to grow the understanding you have of your faith. In my youth (!) I found a small book: Your God Is Too Small; J. B. Phillips, 1952 to be helpful. Phillips reviews some very inadequate models of God before he develops an understanding of the God of Jesus Christ. I like what this author means, establish me first as a theist, one who believes and understands at least something of God, then convert me to Christianity. Not all theology is good theology! Phillips examines images of God that are too small to be God. For example, God as policeman, that motor cycle cop who hides behind bushes and nabs you when you’ve done something wrong. Got-‘cha, off to hell forever! The stage director who has you programmed to play only one role on the giant stage of life – His role. The Santa Claus you go to when you want something. Pray correctly and it’s yours. These are three inadequate images of God. Each one is an obstacle to the God of love who is big and related to His people as a good father is to his family. Reflect on the prodigal son lesson, Luke 15:11-32. The Father is waiting to encounter you – as you come home to Him. Upon your return there will be a party. The younger son was a sinner, he was dead – but he returned home to his father’s love. And he was accepted! That’s a pretty big God! The elder son refuses his father’s love. He has reduced himself – not his Father. God is complete, we are lacking without Him. Don’t make God too small. Encounter the living God this week and live. I’m sending a huge thank you and shout out to Mr. Mike McHenry for engaging Sr. Nadine and a wonderful series on Pope Francis. And a huge shout –out to Mr. Curtis Wesseln for engaging the health screening event last Sunday. There will be more health related education — on Monday, May 11th we have a speaker on “Normal and Not-Normal Aging” and in the near future, a panel of medical doctors speaking on “Visiting the Doctor - What questions should you ask and what to do when visiting the doctor including your questions related to surgery.” We are happy to host these professional medical providers – come, be informed. It’s all done for you! (See page 6 of this bulletin for more details.) First Communion was celebrated Saturday, April 25 – thank you to all who prepared the First Communion class for the Table of the Lord. First Communicants – welcome to the Lord’s Table. 50 WEEKS OF P R AY E R DURING OUR 5 0 T H A N N I V E R S A RY Y E A R Know you are being prayed for this week, the 17th week of our 50 Weeks of Prayer!

VOCATION ESSAY CONTEST St. Juliana Vocation Committee sponsored an essay contest, the subject of which was Pope Francis. Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students were asked to read about the 10 things (sounding remarkably like “New Year’s resolutions”) Pope Francis asked Vatican employees to do in 2015. Each student was then asked to write a letter to Pope Francis, addressing 3 of the 10 ‘resolutions’ and how he/she could apply each to his/her own life. Today, the Committee is pleased to highlight the 1st Place essay for 7th grade, written by Jacob Gonzalez. Congratulations Jacob! Dear Pope Francis, My name is Jacob Gonzalez and I am in the 7th grade at St. Juliana Falconieri located in Fullerton, California. In your article written before Christmas in 2014, you asked Vatican employees to do things that sounded similar to New Year’s resolutions. I chose three of your quotes that I thought were very important to me in my life. These three quotes are things I should learn from and continue to be better at in my life. The first quote I chose is, “Take care of your spiritual life, your relationship with God, because this is the backbone of everything we do and everything we are.” This quote hit me as I read your list to be a very valuable lesson. In my Religion classes, I have found this to be true. My relationship with God affects everything in my life in a positive way. I am lucky to have learned how to strengthen my spiritual life through prayer. When you asked the Vatican employees to “Heal wounds of the heart with the oil of forgiveness, forgiving those who have hurt us and medicating the wounds we have caused others”, I was touched by your words. To forgive others is important to me because it is doing God’s will. Forgiveness is something that we learn to do more as we get older. We should love and forgive others just as God has loved and has forgiven us. The last quote that I really liked on your list is to “Take care of your family life, giving your children and loved ones not just money, but most of all your time, attention and love.” Family is always important to me and family comes before all things. I like being a unique part of my family and experiencing things together. Spending time together and having fun is what matters most. All your messages were not just for the Vatican employees, but for everyone. The three quotes I liked the most are lessons that I should follow and continue to be better at in my life. I will try to follow these quotes every day because I believe that they will help me to be a better person. Thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom and keep up the good work. Sincerely, Jacob Gonzalez SCHOOL MAY CROWNING Immediately following 8am Mass. Everyone is invited! SCHOOL JOG-A-THON Students will be running with all their heart!

Page Ten CORAZON SCHOLARSHIP NEWS Last Fall, parishioners at St. Juliana donated to the Corazon scholarship fund. Money from the scholarships is divided among the 240+ children who receive them. Doug and Jean Knudson went to the community centers in the colonias surrounding Tijuana, Mexico to meet some of the scholarship recipients. In order to receive a scholarship, students must be present after school at the tutoring center for a minimum of 10 hours per month. They also must show their dedication to their studies by attending at the center for 6 months in a row with continuous presence thereafter. Tutors themselves are trained by Corazon staff. Rules and expectations are established in a loving and supportive environment. I interviewed each child and each tutor. I will share a few stories with you in the coming bulletins: Yessica,third from left, front row, age 11, is in sixth grade. She has been receiving a Corazon scholarship for 6 1/2 years throughout her entire schooling. She says the scholarship money really helps her parents with their expenses. She appreciates the tutoring because it would be harder to do her homework if she didn't have the help. She says that the tutors explain everything to her. Next year Yessica will be attending a technical junior high school. She said her parents decided she would go there because it's closest to where they live. She will have all the regular academic classes as well as vocational classes to choose from. Yessica wants to become a tutor for Corazon when she turns 15 so she can help the little ones.
