Specifically the Lord says, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. You may be aware that in Jesus time (as well as in many parts of the world today) the common greeting was Shalom. That means, of course, peace. It is nonetheless not only a greeting but it is also what people said when they parted. Jesus makes a point of making it clear to His followers and to us that He is not just saying Peace the way people usually do, but from Him it is filled with more strength and meaning. It is Not as the world gives that Jesus is saying Peace be with you. Jesus is telling us that He through the Holy Spirit will always be with us, stand next to us, and strengthen us. That is something we must believe. Trusting in the Lord is a key aspect of stewardship. In our world we are more likely to say Good-bye than Shalom. However, even that has a meaning with a much deeper message. Good-bye derives from the farewell God be with you or God be with ye. Thus, when we say good-bye we are also giving someone the same message that Jesus gives us. God is with us always. He loves you. Bessie Monte James J. Figueroa Please pray for all recently deceased members of the parish family. READINGS IN THE RED HYMNALS Sunday, May 1: # 1093 Next Week Sunday, May 5: # 1094

4 1 de Mayo SEXTO DOMINGO DE RESURRECCION El Espíritu de luz y fraternidad El Evangelio de este domingo, es el Evangelio del Espíritu prometido por Jesús. La promesa el Padre les enviara (el Espíritu Santo) en mi nombre...para enseñarles...para recordarles mis enseñanzas, es decir, si nosotros amamos a Jesús y le somos fieles a su palabra, entonces iremos a El. Esto significa que la vida del Espíritu Santo en cada uno de nosotros esta en proporción a la fidelidad al Evangelio y al seguimiento de Jesús. No hemos de olvidar que la experiencia del Espíritu Santo y la imitación de Jesús van mano a mano en nuestra vida concreta de auténticos cristianos. Pero mas aún, la promesa del Espíritu significa igualmente la promesa de Cristo de concedernos la Paz. Cual paz? Obviamente la Paz de Dios, que es tan diferente de la paz del mundo, que no puede ser adquirida por simple fuerza de voluntad o por negociaciones políticas. Porque la paz de Dios es un don, que supone sin embargo el esfuerzo del ser humano por llevar adelante la ley del amor de Jesús, de justicia y de reconciliación mutua. ASCENSION DEL SEÑOR Misa en Español: Miércoles, 4 de Mayo a las 7:30pm Educación Religiosa El Programa de Educación Religiosa de la parroquia esta ya matriculando niños y niñas para el año escolar Las clases son los sábados en la mañana de 10 a 11:30am empezando al final de septiembre. Para los que se matriculen temprano; la cuota es: $60.00 por un niño o niña, $85.00 por dos $ por tres o más niños que pertenezcan a la misma familia. Estas tarifas solo aplica para matrículas recibidas con el pago completo antes del 30 de junio, Son considerablemente menos que las tarifas regulares: $85 por un niño, $150 para dos o más niños, o $190 para tres o más niños. Nuestro Programa de Educación Religiosa es un programa de ocho años. Cada año complementa lo que se aprendió el año anterior. La preparación para la Primera Comunión es un programa de dos años, el cual no termina cuando el niño o niña recibe la Comunión. Los niños y las niñas deben continuar su educación religiosa hasta que reciben el Sacramento de la Confirmación; que es el paso número 8 del programa. Mensaje de parte de Helen Avilés; Presidente del Ministerio de la Campaña de Recaudación de Sangre Por medio de esta misiva pido excusas por un mal entendido que hubo con relación a un anuncio que se hizo el pasado 20 de marzo. Yo recibí en mensaje del Centro de Sangre y en vez de enviarlo de manera formal o por escrito, simplemente lo comunique verbalmente a la rectoría. En el mensaje se me informaba que debido al virus del Zika personas en la isla de Puerto Rico no eran elegibles para donar sangre. Como resultado, los bancos de sangre de otros países estaban enviando sangre a Puerto Rico y se pedía a la comunidad que fuera generosa donando sangre para poder ayudar a Puerto Rico en ese momento de necesidad. Al traducirlo hubo una confusión y se entendió que las personas procedentes de Puerto Rico no podían donar. Lo cual era verdad solo para; los puertorriqueños residentes de Puerto Rico o para personas que habían visitado la isla en los últimos dos meses. Otros donantes también fueron rechazados porque ellos habían viajado al Caribe o México en los pasados dos meses. Según los donantes iban llegando al gimnasio de la escuela se les preguntaba si había viajado fuera de los Estados Unidos y a donde. Los que contestaban positivamente se les agradecía la intención de donar, pero inmediatamente eran rechazados. En total 27 personas que trataron de donar fueran rechazadas por haber viajado a países contaminados con el virus. Yo aprecio el esfuerzo que cada quien hace al donar sangre, mucho más aun el sacar el tiempo el en domingo de Ramos. Aprecio de manera especial a los donantes de la comunidad hispana porque son una gran mayoría. De nuevo les pido excusas por la confusión en el mensaje y por la larga espera y les pido que sigan siendo generosos al donar, tanto o más como siempre lo han sido.
