4 Pastor s Letter May 11/12 Mothers Day Susan s New Car Dear Parish Family, Not too many years ago I was teaching a course in our Pastoral Formation Institute, entitled Living the Christian Life, the course was about morality and especially about living as Jesus taught us. One spring I had a particularly enjoyable class. Everyone seemed to work together very well and after the last session my students invited me to join them at a local diner for lunch to celebrate. As we left and were saying our goodbyes Susan, a young woman with a bunch of middle school kids, pointed out her new car. It was nice and red and shiny except for the roof which was kind of a pale pink with a dull finish. I remarked that it was beautiful and that I didn t know they still made two tone cars. Susan laughed. She said there was a story behind the pink roof. She explained that she had parked the car in her driveway under a flowering tree. One night, the tree deposited an explosion of pollen and sap all over the car. Her kids were up early. They saw the mess and decided to give their mom a special present. They would wash the car. The usual bucket, soap, and sponge came out but the sap and pollen proved especially sticky. Rather than give up, they decided to use something stronger. They decided to use Brillo! They scoured and scoured. The sap and pollen came off. So did the paint. I could imagine the scene. It was hard to imagine how any parent could keep their cool. Susan explained. I was not happy about the car! But I teach my kids how to be thoughtful and generous and they were trying to do a good thing. If I showed them that I was angry it would have ruined their thoughtful intentions. People like Susan amaze me. They say that our moms make great sacrifices for us, their children. My mind goes to the obvious: cooking endless meals, working extra jobs, cleaning our bottoms, and sitting up through our feverish nights. We probably don t know the half of it! Moms take our mini childhood tragedies seriously, worry with us through the fears and anxieties of growing up, hold lots of things inside for our good, and are grateful for a car cleaned with Brillo. Today is a day to be grateful for all those wonderful women in our lives who love us in ways we know and in ways beyond our knowing. They hold our love and our secrets in their hearts. Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Michael A. Vetrano Pastor

13 VII Domingo de Pascua, Año C. Ilustración 2000 S. Erspamer. Printed from Qué Paradoja - El Señor Jesús, el Mesías, deja a los suyos para enviarles al Espíritu Santo y estar más cerca de ellos. Él anuncia, guía, anima y prepara a sus discípulos y estamos incluidos! para todo eso. Es bastante lo que tenemos. Él está con nosotros, está detrás y delante de nosotros para que lo recibamos. El Espíritu y la novia dicen: Vengan, síganme. Disfrutarán del árbol de la Vida y se les abrirán las puertas de la Ciudad. Ven, Señor, Jesús! Danos valor. Danos el alimento de tu cuerpo para que demos el primer paso. Amén!! Texto: Philip J. Sandstrom, STD 2000, OCP. Derechos reservados. Jesús Ora para que Seamos "Uno"- Ya va concluyendo la temporada de Pascua. Por fin podemos vislumbrar todos los ingredientes que esta fiesta nos trae: a la alegría pascual, a la fe y al amor hoy se une el elemento de la unidad. Jesús ora (evangelio) para que todos seamos "uno". Como proclama la segunda lectura, Él es el principio y el fin; en Él podemos lograr esta "unidad". Estos elementos de la Pascua se presentan ante un mundo lleno de otros ingredientes negativos: la violencia y la discordia, el racismo y la opresión, la competencia y la avaricia. No vivimos en un mundo perfecto, pero los cristianos tenemos que tratar de mejorarlo. By Juan J. Sosa, Pbro., from Liturgia y Canción , OCP.
