Feliz día de la Madre

Happy Mother’s Day

While Father is on Vacation, we are

printing a past Mother’s Day Pastor’s Desk — Happy Mother’s Day!!

My mom only had one eye. I hated her.... She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, 'EEEE, your mom only has one eye!' I wanted to bury myself. I was so angry at my mother so told her, “Mom, why don't you just die?' My mom

did not respond... I began to dream of a day when I will be without her. So I studied hard, got a chance to go abroad to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchil-dren. When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, 'How dare you come to my house and scare my children!' GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!' And to this, my mother quietly answered, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,' and she disappeared out of sight. One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to

the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have. 'My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrass-ment to you when you were growing up. You see........when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. With all my love to you, being mother I have never regretted donating my eye to an apple of my eye!! Your Mother. Love + Sacrifice = Mother.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Mientras que el padre está de vacaciones, estamos imprimiendo turística del pasado de la Madre Día Pastor - el día de madre feliz !!

Mi madre sólo tenía un ojo. La odiaba .... Ella era una vergüenza tal. Ella cocinaba para los estudiantes y maestros para mantener a la familia. Un día durante mi escuela primaria mi mamá vino a saludarme. Me dio tanta vergüenza. Cómo me pudo hacer esto a mí? Yo la ignore, le miré con odio y me fui corriendo.

Al día siguiente en la escuela uno de mis compañeros dijo, 'EEEE, tu mamá solamente tiene un ojo!' Yo quería enterrarme. Me enojé tanto que le dije, “Mamá, porqué no te

mueres?' Mi mamá no respondió...yo empecé a soñar sobre el día que yo me liberaría de ella. Estudié muy duro, tuve el chance de ir a estudiar afuera del país. Después, un día, mi mamá me vino a visitar. Ella no me había visto desde hace años y ella ni siquiera conocía a sus nietos. Cuando ella se paró en la puerta, mis hijos se rieron de ella y yo le grité por haber llegado sin invitación. Yo le grité, 'Cómo te atreves a venir a mi casa y asustar a mis hijos!' VETE DE AQUI! AHORA!!!' Y a esto, mi madre silenciosamente respondió, 'Oh, lo siento mucho. Yo debo de haber tomado la dirección incorrecta,' y se desapareció de mi vista. Un día, una carta sobre una reunión de ex alumnos llegó a mi casa. Le mentí a mi esposa que iría a un viaje de negocios. Después de la reunión, yo fui a la casa vieja por curiosidad. Mis vecinos me dijeron que ella había muerto. No derramé ni una

lágrima. Ellos me dieron una carta que ella quiso que yo tuviera.

'Mi hijo querido, yo pienso en ti todo el tiempo. Siento mucho haber ido a tu casa y asustar a tus hijos. Siento mucho que era una vergü enza constante cuando estabas creciendo. Ves........cuando eras muy pequeño, tuviste un accidente, y perdiste tu ojo. Como una madre, no resistía verte crecer con un solo ojo, así es que te di el mío.

Yo me sentí tan orgullosa de mi hijo quien miraba todo un nuevo mundo por mí, en mi lugar, con ese ojo. Con todo mi amor para ti, siendo madre nunca me he arrepentido de haber donado mi ojo a la cuenca de mi ojo!!

Tu Madre.

Amor + Sacrificio = Madre.

Feliz Día de las Madres.

We will be collecting Mi Pueblo receipts again. We recently negotiated with Mi Pueblo and we are happy that they will once again offer us this great program. Keep you Mi Pueblo receipts and bring them to the office or place them in the boxes at the doors of the church.

When we turn the receipts over to Mi Pueblo they will then give us a percentage of all purchases made as a rebate check to the church. This is an easy way for you to help contribute back to your church.

Vatican Corner

Continued… Archbishop Chaput says that when Pope Francis comes to Philadelphia for two days at the end of September, his pastoral mission will have a dual purpose. The Pope’s participation in the closing of the World Meeting of Families conference is one key element and the other is reinvigorating the Philadelphia archdiocese and the local churches themselves - battered in recent years by financial woes, closure and consolidation of churches and schools, and the painful clerical abuse scandal. An outdoor public mass by Pope Francis along Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway -- near the iconic "Rocky" steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum -- is expected to draw so Archbishop says "I'm most excited and anxious at the same time, because we have a lot of responsibilities for protecting the Holy Father and protecting the people who come to see him." By the end of August 2014, nearly all was set, the church was chosen, hall booked, flowers picked, the

groomsmen’s tuxes and the brides

maids dresses selected, planning was going smoothly for Brittany Lowell, a 26-year-old legal secretary and dance instructor, and her future husband, Jeff Doney, for their upcoming wedding in Philadelphia on Saturday Sept. 26. Then last November they found out that Pope Francis would be in the City on the same day. “As soon as that happened I went into panic mode” said Lowell. It’s not the serious influx of visitors or the traffic or the increased security that is causing the problem, rather, finding a place for the newlyweds-to-be and their guests to stay. Anticipating the pontiff’s trip, hotels blacked out large portions of the 30,000 rooms in the Philadelphia region to accommodate visitors for the Catholic conference and historic visit. The couple called hotels around their venue. Each time, they were told there was either no room at the inn or they needed to book extended stays. Lowell and Doney have guest traveling a long way, but at $300 a night with a three-night minimum, “No one’s

going to pay $1,000 to stay for our wedding.“ She says, she is concerned even for those within driving distance, who would be driving home after the nuptials. Lowell was able to secure a small room block about 30 miles away, but expects her 200-person head count to drop. They included a warning to their guests about the Pope’s visit in the Save the Dates cards. “Something that’s so positive for the city and so positive for Catholics is turning out to be not so positive for me,” she said. “I’m honestly surprised that the priest hasn’t called to cancel.” Some couples in the same situation have been able to move their wedding date without penalty and the ten months’

notice has helped. All the wedding couples interviewed agreed that Pope Francis’ visit is great for the city and they’re trying to make the best of the situation. to be continued…
