Reflections On the
Gospel
Jesus’s message this
Sunday is one of unity. He and God are one, and we are one with each other and with God. What a
perfect message for Mother’s Day! In the original Mother’s Day Proclamation of 1870, it could be
said that Julia Ward Howe understood that unity better than most. Addressing mothers across borders, she wrote: “Arise, then, women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, whether your
baptism be that of water or tears! ... Take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great
human family can live in peace....to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable
settlement of international questions, and the great and general interests of peace.” May we, men and
women, parents and those without children, answer this call to unity and peace this Mother’s Day.
Our Lady of the Hamptons
Thirty-five members of the parent and local communities participated in the first
-ever Career Day for Prep students at OLH. Representatives from politics, law
enforcement, construction and medicine were among those who offered advice and direction to the
students, under the direction of Mrs. Valerie Hanley.
Prep 7 student John Allan has advanced to the national finals of the National History Bee, having
clinched a spot at the regionals held in New Jersey. He will next compete in Chicago on June 9.
The twenty-five member Hamptonix, the boys’ show chorus, sang the National Anthem at the April
29 Long Island Ducks game in Central Islip.
The registration period leading toward enrollment at OLH for September 2016 is now completed for
grades 3-8, with very limited space available in Pre-K and primary grades. Interested families are
invited to request information packets early.. Students seeking admission to kindergarten must be five
years of age prior to December 1, 2016. Call 283-9140 for details.
A full-certified pre-school program for three and four year old children is offered by OLH at St.
Rosalie’s Parish Center in Hampton Bays. Enrollment information is available at the Southampton
campus.
We invite parishioners and friends to learn more about Our Lady of the Hamptons by visiting the
website www.olh.org. Tours can be arranged at any time, by calling 283

Feliz Día de las Madres - De parte de nuestro párroco,
Padre Miguel, los sacerdotes, los líderes laicos y todos
los miembros de la parroquia, les deseamos a todas las
madres un feliz día de las Madres. Que Dios les bendiga
con paz y amor.
El Papa Anima a las Mujeres Embarazadas - A cada
mujer embarazada quiero pedirle con afecto: Cuida tu
alegría, que nada te quite el gozo interior de la
maternidad. Ese niño merece tu alegría. No permitas que
los miedos, las preocupaciones, los comentarios ajenos o
los problemas apaguen esa felicidad de ser instrumento
de Dios para traer una nueva vida al mundo. Ocúpate de
lo que haya que hacer o preparar, pero sin obsesionarte, y
alaba como María: «Proclama mi alma la grandeza del
Señor, se alegra mi espíritu en Dios, mi salvador; porque
ha mirado la humillación de su sierva» (Lc 1,46-48).
Vive ese sereno entusiasmo en medio de tus molestias, y
ruega al Señor que cuide tu alegría para que puedas
transmitirla a tu niño. De Amoris Laetitia, §§171. Dado
en Roma, el 19 de marzo, del año 2016.
Intenciones del Papa para Mayo
Universal: Las mujeres en la sociedad. Para que en todos
los países del mundo las mujeres sean honradas y
respetadas y sea valorizado su imprescindible aporte
social.
Por la Evangelización: El Rosario. Para que se difunda
en las familias, comunidades y grupos, la práctica de
rezar el santo Rosario por la evangelización y por la paz.
La Fiesta del Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo - El domingo,
29 de mayo, es la Fiesta de Corpus Christi y después de
la Misa habrá una procesión afuera con el Santísimo. Si
quiere poner un altar para su país, favor de hablar con
Walter Quintanilla.

APOSTOLADO HISPANO
Santo Padre Francisco reconoce y agradece a las
Madres - Las madres [...]testimonian la belleza de la
vida». Sin duda, «una sociedad sin madres sería una
sociedad inhumana, porque las madres saben testimoniar
siempre, incluso en los peores momentos, la ternura, la
entrega, la fuerza moral. Las madres transmiten a
menudo también el sentido más profundo de la práctica
religiosa: en las primeras oraciones, en los primeros
gestos de devoción que aprende un niño[...] Sin las
madres, no sólo no habría nuevos fieles, sino que la fe
perdería buena parte de su calor sencillo y profundo. [...]
Queridísimas mamás, gracias, gracias por lo que sois en
la familia y por lo que dais a la Iglesia y al mundo».
La madre, que ampara al niño con su ternura y su
compasión, le ayuda a despertar la confianza, a
experimentar que el mundo es un lugar bueno que lo
recibe, y esto permite desarrollar una autoestima que
favorece la capacidad de intimidad y la empatía. De
Amoris Laetitia, §§174,175. Dado en Roma, 19 de
marzo, del año 2016.
Curso Pre-Bautismal – el 22 de Mayo - El próximo
curso será el domingo, 22 de mayo. No habrá curso el 29
de mayo
Happy Mother’s Day !
