PASTOR’S COLUMN

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, God’s generosity towards each one of us is so great, it seems that blessings from Him come to us at every instant of our lives. What a blessing to be called to life, to be alive! What a blessing to be able to have a relationship with God! What a blessing to have the Holy Spirit within us!

“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you …” Acts

The Holy Spirit keeps us together, helps us overcome all divisions, all the attacks from the evil one. We prevail over all sin.

“Bear with one another through love … striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit …” Ephesians

The Holy Spirit inspires us to reach out to all persons in the world through prayer and action. We are a “mission” people.

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to everyone…” Mark

Lord, bless all mothers living and deceased! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us!

PAPAL INTENTION FOR MAY

THREE WAYS TO SHARE GOD’S LOVE

Chris ans know that our most important task is to share God’s love with others. Finding ways to communi-cate love in a fallen world can be tricky, however. Try these strategies:

“And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to everyone, an apt teacher, forbearing,” (2 Tim-othy 2:24). Does someone have a need you can meet? Can others benefit from your knowledge or talents? Show love by cheerfully helping those around you.

“The ill‐tempered s r up strife, but the pa ent se le disputes” (Proverbs 15:18). It’s hard to show love for others if we are figh ng with them. When tempted to get involved in a spat, ask if winning will strengthen a rela onship, lead to a be er outcome, and if the issue is meaningful or important. If not, try to compromise or walk away.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and do not forget all his gi s” (Psalm 103:2). When we are constantly aware of God’s love, our natural response is to offer up our voices to praise him.

DIFFERENT, YET CLOSE  The feast of the Ascension is an opportunity to consid-er what we think of heaven, and also of earth. Both are God’s crea on. What comes to mind when you think of heaven? Heaven has been depicted, by Chris ans and others, in many ways. These depic ons are some mes far from what the scriptures describe. In the Bible, heav-en is less a place one goes a er death, and more God’s space that interacts with physical crea on, which is de-scribed as “earth.” Heaven is quite different from earth, yet also close to earth. The Ascension teaches us that heaven interlocks with earth most completely in Jesus, who is both divine and human. When he ascended, Jesus began his reign over both heaven and earth. We also hear the promise of Je-sus’ return, when his reign will be made complete. Heav-en and earth will be fully renewed, transformed, and joined together in a new way. WAITING ON THE SPIRIT  Having received Jesus’ final instruc ons, and having watched him taken to heaven, his disciples were also told to wait. Jesus had promised that they would soon be bap zed by the Holy Spirit (at Pentecost), but now they must wait and prepare themselves. Together with the ul mate wait for the return of Jesus, they also needed to learn to wait in small ways. They waited for the Spirit to empower and to guide them. Wai ng is o en difficult for us, the Church. We tend to move quickly, to want to take ac on. Some mes we conclude that we have good ideas and plans that will make a posi ve difference, and so must now act. But our good ideas are not necessarily God’s ideas for us at this par cular me. O en, we need to slow down, perhaps place our plans before God, and wait on the Spirit. At these mes, we are learn-ing that this is primarily God’s work, not ours. We always must receive from God, and be sustained by God, in order to share God with others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.,

DIFERENTE, PERO NO TANTO  La celebración de la Ascensión es una oportunidad para considerar qué es lo que pensamos del cielo, y tam-bién lo que pensamos acerca de la Tierra. Ambos son la creación de Dios. ¿Qué es lo que te pasa por la mente cuando piensas en el cielo? El cielo ha sido representado tanto por cris anos y por otras personas. Estas represen-taciones están tan lejos de lo que las Escrituras nos des-criben. En la Biblia, es todo menos un lugar a donde uno va después de la muerte, sino más el espacio donde Dios interactúa con la creación sica, la cual es descrita como la “Tierra”. El cielo es muy diferente de la Tierra, sin em-bargo, muy cercano a la Tierra. La Ascensión nos enseña que el cielo se entrelaza con la Tierra más completamente en Jesús, quien es tanto divino como humano. Cuando él asciende, Jesús empieza su reinado en el cielo y en la Tierra. También escucha-mos la promesa del regreso de Jesús, cuando su reinado se llevará a cabo. El cielo y la Tierra serán totalmente renovados, transformados y unidos en una nueva mane-ra.

ESPERANDO EN EL ESPÍRITU   Después de haber recibido las instrucciones finales de Jesús, y haberlo visto elevarse al cielo, a sus discípulos también se les dijo que esperaran. Jesús había prome -do que pronto serían bau zados por el Espíritu Santo (en Pentecostés), ahora ellos mismos deben esperar y prepa-rarse. Juntos con la úl ma espera para el regreso de Je-sús, ellos también necesitan aprender a esperar en las pequeñas cosas. Ellos esperaron el Espíritu para que les diera poder y los guiara. A menudo esperar es di cil para nosotros, la Iglesia. Tendemos a movernos rápido, a querer tomar decisiones y llevarlas a cabo. Algunas veces llegamos a la conclusión que tenemos buenas ideas y planes que harán una dife-rencia posi va, por lo que es momento de llevarla a ca-bo. Pero nuestras buenas ideas no son necesariamente las ideas de Dios para nosotros en ese momento especifi-co. A menudo, necesitamos reducir nuestra velocidad, quizá poner nuestros planes ante Dios y esperar el Espíri-tu. En esos momentos, estamos aprendiendo que esto es el trabajo de Dios, no nuestro. Nosotros siempre debe-mos recibir de Dios, y ser sostenidos por Dios, para po-der compar r a Dios con otras personas. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc

LA ASCENSION DEL SEÑOR PÁGINA 6

Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo,

La generosidad de Dios hacia nosotros es grande, parece que las bendiciones de El nos vienen a cada instante de nuestras vidas. ¡Que bendición es ser llamados a la vida, estar vivos! ¡Que ben-dición es poder tener una relación con Dios! Que bendición tener al Espíritu Santo dentro noso-tros!

“Recibirán poder cuando el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre ustedes …” Hechos

El Espíritu Santo nos mantiene unidos, nos ayuda a vencer toda división, todos los ataques del maligno. Prevalecemos sobre todo pecado.

“Sean comprensivos y sopórtense mutuamente con amor … esfuércense en mantenerse unidos en el Espíritu …” Efesios

El Espíritu Santo nos inspira a llegar a toda persona en el mundo por medio de la oración y la acción. Somos gente en “misión.”

“Vayan por todo el mundo y prediquen el Evangelio a todos …” Marcos

¡Señor, bendice a todas las mamás, vivas y difuntas! ¡Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro, ruega por nosotros!
