Si se le pide que sea padrino, para el sacramento del Bautismo o la Con irmacion, uno de los requisitos es recibir una carta de la iglesia certi icando que usted asiste a Misa regularmente. Tenemos una parroquia grande y la unica manera de saber si viene a Misa regularmente es el uso de sus sobres. Todos los feligreses registrados tienen un numero de familia, el cual es el numero que se utiliza para su identi icacion y es el que se imprime en el exterior de los sobres. Por favor, use los sobres, no necesariamente tiene que colocar alguna cantidad en el interior, pero el numero en el exterior nos permite saber que estan asistiendo a Misa regularmente.

MEDITACIONDELEVANGELIO-ALENTARUNENTENDIMIENTOMÁSPROFUNDODELASESCRITURAS 9 de junio de 2019 Domingo de Pentecostes El Espıritu de Dios viene de la mano de la paz de Cristo y debemos recibirlo con el Corazon abierto. Antes de irse, Jesus les promete a sus discıpulos que enviara al Espıritu Santo: "Y cuando venga el, el Espıritu de la Verdad, los guiara, en todos los caminos de la verdad". (Juan 16:13). Las personas tienen la experiencia que el Espıritu siempre deja huella, cambia la vida, y produce efectos. Ası es que, algunos dicen: "abrı mi corazon al Espıritu Santo y cambio mi vida, ahora soy diferente. Menos egoısta, mas justo con mı esposa y mis hijos". Hoy es el dıa que Dios regala su Espıritu al mundo, y a cada uno en particular. Lo vemos en los primeros testigos de la Iglesia primitiva; del miedo cambiaron al valor, de la incertidumbre su corazon se lleno de la paz de Cristo. El Papa Francisco nos dice lo siguiente: "El Espıritu cambia los corazones, cambia los acontecimientos, actua como fuerte reconstituyente y orienta hacia Dios y hacia el mundo". Y agrego, "...es el "Espıritu" el que "libera los corazones cerrados por el miedo y vence las resistencias" continuo Francisco, de modo que - a quien se conforma con medias tintas - "le ofrece ımpetus de entrega". Tambien "ensancha los corazones estrechos", "anima a servir a quien se apoltrona en la comodidad", "hace caminar al que se cree que ya ha llegado" y "hace sonar al que cae en tibieza". ¿Que podemos cambiar de nuestra vida al recibir el Espıritu Santo? ¿Que te ha impresionado del mensaje del Papa Francisco? ¡Ven, Espıritu Santo!

TheUnitedStatesFlag As we look at the lag of our country, let us always remember its true meaning, for a lag without meaning is only a piece of cloth. The red of our lag stands for valor and bravery like that of those who fought to protect our freedoms. White signi ies purity and innocence, as that of our Founding Fathers’ intent to secure the rights of all. Blue signi ies vigilance, perseverance, and justice, as all are needed in any government to secure the blessings of God. And as our stars and stripes point to the stars of the heavens and the rays of the sun, let us never forget that our country must depend upon God’s blessing and protection.

Thank you Ms. Betty for serving on the Homebound Ministry, your service, smile and

dedication is much appreciated. We Love you and wish you well in all your new adven-

tures. 2019 Homebound Ministry ~
