SACRAMENTOS DE INICIACIÓN CRISTIANA Mediante los sacramentos de la iniciación cristiana, el Bautismo, la Confirmación y la Eucaristía, se ponen los fundamentos de toda vida cristiana. Los fieles renacidos en el Bautismo se fortalecen con el sacramento de la Confirmación y, son alimentados en la Eucaristía con el manjar de la vida eterna, y, así por medio de estos sacramentos de la iniciación cristiana, reciben cada vez con más abundancia los tesoros de la vida divina y avanzan hacia la perfección de la caridad". (Papa Pablo VI) THE SACRAMENTS OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION The sacraments of Christian initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist - lay the foundations of every Christian life. The faithful are born a new by Baptism, strengthened by the sacrament of Confirmation, and receive in the Eucharist the food of eternal life. By means of these sacraments of Christian initiation, they thus receive in increasing measure the treasures of the divine life and advance toward the perfection of charity."

Page 3 www.stritaparish.org Third Sunday Easter of Lord you will show us the path of life (Psalm 16) On the right column of this Pastor s Desk page there are quotes from Pope Francis (Evangeli Gaudium-The Joy of the Gospel book). Our Claretian texts in Spanish and English give us a sampling of what Joy Pope Francis wishes to share with and for us in our Christian journey. This Sunday he is encouraging how to better communicate the Gospel to the Youth of our churches and society. Pope Francis seems to be saying we need to find a language to better communicate about the things of the Creator and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Pope Francis is not necessarily meaning human tongue language but rather the language of the heart and head which makes a difference. Given today s Gospel about the Emmaus journey we can appreciate what Pope Francis means about a better language. The disciples of Jesus did not recognize Jesus in conversation or sight until Jesus took the bread and wine and blessed it and gave it to them after their long walk then their eyes were opened. May we never miss an opportunity to encounter the Risen Jesus in our midst each day and especially at the Eucharist. Jesus is Risen, He is risen Indeed! Fr. Jim Preskenis, csc Associate Pastor Del Escritorio Evangelii Gauidium Del Párroco Young people often fail to find responses to their concerns, needs, problems and hurts in the usual structures. As adults, we find it hard to listen patiently to them, to appreciate their concerns and demands, and to speak to them in a language they can understand. (105) Text shared from the Android app 'Evangelii Gaudium 5 min' Publicaciones Claretianas Dear Young People, Do NOT bury your talents, The gifts that GOD has given you! Do not be afraid to DREAM of GREAT THINGS! - Pope Francis Evangelii Gauidium Domingo, 30 Abril, 2017 Escuchar a los jóvenes Los jóvenes, en las estructuras habituales, no suelen encontrar respuestas a sus inquietudes, necesidades, problemáticas y heridas. A los adultos nos cuesta escucharlos con paciencia, comprender sus inquietudes o sus reclamos, y aprender a hablarles en el lenguaje que ellos comprenden (105).
