Carnival 2011 – Ride Until You Drop!

The weather for this year’s Carnival was just about perfect and the crowds were as big as ever. We, again, set a new all-time record for the num-ber of young people wearing ride bracelets. As a result, families spent a great deal of time both out on the midway and under the pavilion sharing in the community fellowship experience. That is always our primary goal. The economy, in general, and gasoline prices, in particular, are a concern to everyone. As a result of these concerns, our sales were down in some areas. However, when all the bills are paid, this year’s carnival will still be a great financial success. The key to that success is the support you give. The hundreds of volunteers who make the carnival work and the thousands who come to join us in the celebration allow those good num-bers to happen. We thank you all for participating. Every year we schedule the Carnival so that it does not interfere with the celebration of Easter. Carnival 2012 will run from April 19-22nd. Mark your calendars!

God Bless you all, Paul and Norma Hunter Carnival Chairmen (a.k.a. Mr. & Mrs. Clown)

GET REAL! Those of us who flatter ourselves that we have a “realistic” view of the world may listen to the first reading today and say, “Get real!” when we hear Luke’s account of the early, Elysian days of the Christian movement. All seems to be rosy, lots of wonders are performed, everyone shares selflessly, they eat together in “exultation,” and the Lord added to their numbers? Well, who wouldn’t be attracted to a group like this? From the wind that swept through the upper room at Pentecost as the Spirit of God blew over the face of the waters in Genesis, and the fire that appeared over each disciple as the light appeared at the dawn of creation, Luke’s intent in Acts is to show a new creation, a restoration of creation’s original goodness through the working of the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit who continues to make us into the Body of Christ. We may occasionally, like Thomas in the Gospel, say, “Get real!” but our ultimate reality in the Spirit is to work continually to make our Christian community a new creation, one in which others will find God’s joy and beauty. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

ALTARES DE MAYO El mes de mayo es tradicionalmente dedicado a María, la Madre de Dios, y muchos católicos Hispanos oran y honran a la Virgen poniendo altares en sus casas.

En el altar de mayo, se pueden colocar flores, veladoras, y una imagen de la Virgen, las

familias pueden poner el altar con la ayuda de sus niños. Esta es una ocasión especial para alentar a las familias a que pongan sus oraciones a la Virgen María ante el altar y las incluyan en el rosario todos los días.

El 31 de mayo, día en el que celebramos la solemnidad de la Visitación de la Santísima Virgen María, los niños pueden ayudar a coronar la Virgen. Como parte de su oración, las familias pueden incluir una oración especial por las familias inmigrantes que arriesgan su vida en busca de un futuro mejor. Un pensamiento: "La fe y la razón son como las dos alas con las cuales el espíritu humano se eleva hacia la contemplación de la verdad." Juan Pablo II

ORACIÓN A LA DIVINA MISERICORDIA

Dios, Padre Misericordioso, que has revelado Tu Amor en tu Hijo Jesucristo y lo has derramado sobre nosotros en el Espíritu Santo: Te encomendamos hoy el destino del mundo y de todo hombre. Inclínate hacia nosotros pecadores; sana nuestra debilidad, derrota todo mal; haz que todos los habitantes de la tierra experimenten Tu Misericordia, para que en Ti, Dios Uno y Trino, encuentren siempre la fuente de la esperanza. Padre Eterno, por la Dolorosa Pasión y Resurrección de Tu Hijo, ten Misericordia de nosotros y del mundo entero. Amén.

PILDORITAS DE FE DEL PADRE DIEGO

La Divina Misericordia La Devoción a la Divina Misericordia comenzó en 1931 por medio de las revelaciones que Nuestro Señor Jesucristo le hizo a Santa María Faustina y que fueron relatadas en su diario. Aunque durante casi 20 años estuvo prohibida hasta que fue aprobada por la Santa Sede en 1978.

Según los escritos en el diario de 600 páginas, Jesús se le apareció con rayos de luz irradiando desde su corazón y le pidió lo siguiente: “Pinta una imagen de acuerdo a esta visión con las palabras, ‘Jesús, en ti confío’. Deseo que esta imagen sea venerada primero en tu capilla y luego en el mundo entero”. “Prometo que el alma que venere esta imagen, no perecerá. También prometo aquí en la tierra , victoria sobre los enemigos y, sobre todo, a la hora de la muerte. Yo mismo la defenderé con mi propia Gloria.”.

Los dos rayos significan la Sangre y el Agua. El rayo pálido simboliza el Agua que justifica las almas. El rayo rojo simboliza la Sangre que es la vida de las almas… Ambos rayos brotaron de las entrañas más profundas de mi misericordia cuando mi corazón agonizado fue abierto en la cruz por la lanza.

“No en la belleza del color, ni en la del pincel, está la grandeza de esta imagen, sino en mi gracia.” “A través de esta imagen concederé muchas gracias a las almas, ella ha de recordar a los hombres las exigencias de mi misericordia, porque la fe sin obras, por fuerte que sea es inútil.”

La devoción a la divina Misericordia es una entrega total a Dios. Es confiar completamente en Él, en aceptar su misericordia con agradecimiento y ser misericordiosos como misericordioso es Él.

NUESTRA CULTURA Las bendiciones son un gesto muy tradicional y querido en nuestra cultura. Bendecimos o pedimos la bendición de alguien querido antes de salir de la casa, antes de comenzar un nuevo trabajo o proyecto importante, tanto en momentos de la vida diaria como en momentos especiales de nuestra vida. Es una manera de reconocer que todo lo que somos y tenemos nos viene de Dios y de ponernos bajo su protección salvadora. ©Nuestra Parroquia Mayo 2011 1 de mayo ♦ San José Obrero San José tiene dos fiestas. En ésta de mayo se celebra su aspecto de trabajador, carpintero, un hombre de familia que se ve como una persona justa, honrada y buena. Al ponerlo como modelo y protector de los trabajadores, la iglesia quiere acentuar la dignidad del trabajo. Los trabajadores son colaboradores de Dios en la obra de la creación. ¿Qué piensas del trabajo? ¿Es una carga o una fuente de dignidad y alegría?

Beato Papa Juan Pablo II 1920 – 2005 Beatificado el 1 de mayo de 2011 Karol Józef Wojtyla nació el 18 de mayo de 1920 en Wadowice, Polonia; fue ordenado sacerdote en 1946, obispo en 1958, nombrado arzobispo de Cracovia en 1964 y elevado al Colegio de Cardenales en 1967. Cuando en 1978 fue elegido el sucesor 264 de Pedro fue el Papa más joven desde Pío IX cien años antes y el primer Papa polaco. Juan Pablo II recorrió mas de un millón de millas y visitó casi todos los continentes, excepto el continente Antártico. Durante sus viajes y audiencias papales recibió y saludó a cientos de millones de fieles. Él abrió los diálogos con las denominaciones protestantes, visitó Auschwitz, una sinagoga judía y una mezquita musulmana e hizo peregrinaciones a países ortodoxos donde antes ningún Papa había estado. Su legado a la Iglesia es más de una docena de encíclicas y otro tanto de cartas apostólicas, constituciones y exhortaciones. Él beatificó y canonizó a más de mil hombres y mujeres de todos los entornos sociales; él perseveró en su trabajo con los pobres y los débiles, hablando en contra de la guerra, la injusticia económica, la opresión política y, lo que él llamó del mundo industrializado “la cultura de la muerte”. La última homilía del Papa Juan Pablo II fue su propia vida, caracterizada por inquebrantable fe, carismática personalidad, una sincera vida de oración, visión moral, la evangelización mundial y su inagotable promoción por la dignidad humana, libertad política y religiosa.
