A Message from Fr. Sebastian’s Desk:

Mother’s Day

Mother is an ineffable experience, an insepa-rable bond and relationship, an emotion and a passion in the life of every human being. Maternity is a dream and an ideal too. The mystery elicited by the word and the influ-ence inscribed in us by our mother are be-yond our imagination. Along with God, she is the one we are infinitely thankful for our life on earth. She leaves a stronger and tangible birthmark of all reminding each of us of our bond with her through the umbilical cord.

Coming from an oriental cultural setting I never had a chance to recognize my mother celebrating a Mother’s day. I understand it is a celebration that came up in this part of the world as early as in the beginning of the twentieth century. To verbally thank my mother felt as if it was artificial when I first came to this nation. Maybe the modern world requires us to spell out loudly our indebted-ness to our mothers and fathers. In the world of yesteryears, although at times it was taken for granted, there was that unique bond existing between mothers and children in the setting of living together and joint family.

In recognition of the need for acknowledging our bond with our mothers, the Church devotes the month of May to Blessed Virgin Mary, our mother and eternal loving presence with God. She is the model for all mothers in protecting and loving their children who are the gifts coming from the love of God. May God bless all the mothers!

Fr. Sebastian T. Augustine, CMI Pastor

Un Mensaje del Padre Sebastian:

Día de La Madre

La madre es una experiencia inefable, un vínculo y una relación inseparables, una emoción y una pasión en la vida de todo ser humano. La maternidad también es un sueño y un ideal. El misterio provocado por la palabra y la influencia inscrita en nosotros por nuestra madre están más allá de nuestra imaginación. Junto con Dios, ella es la que estamos infinitamente agradecidos por nuestra vida en la tierra. Ella deja una marca de nacimiento más fuerte y tangible de todos recordándonos a cada uno de nosotros nuestro vínculo con ella a través del cordón umbilical.

Viniendo de un entorno cultural oriental, nunca tuve la oportunidad de reconocer a mi madre celebrando el Día de la Madre. Entiendo que es una celebración que surgió en esta parte del mundo ya a principios del siglo XX. Agradecer verbalmente a mi madre se sintió como si fuera artificial cuando llegué por primera vez a esta nación. Tal vez el mundo moderno nos obligue a deletrear en voz alta nuestra deuda con nuestros padres y madres. En el mundo de antaño, aunque a veces se daba por hecho, existía ese vínculo único que existía entre madres e hijos en el marco de la convivencia y la convivencia familiar.

En reconocimiento de la necesidad de reconocer nuestro vínculo con nuestras madres, la Iglesia dedica el mes de mayo a la Santísima Virgen María, nuestra madre y eterna presencia amorosa con Dios. Ella es el modelo para todas las madres en la protección y el amor de sus hijos, que son los dones que provienen del amor de Dios. ¡Que Dios bendiga a todas las madres!

Prayer for the Year of St. Joseph

O Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus and

husband of Mary, we pray to you for

guidance in this “Year of Saint Joseph” as

proclaimed by Pope Francis.

By your example we have been encouraged

in our daily work and in parenting our

children. You teach us to accept others as

they are, without exception.

To you our Heavenly Father entrusted his

Son, Jesus Christ. In you Our Lady placed

her love and trust. And through your

mentoring, Jesus grew into his adult life.

We praise you and ask of you to defend us

and our loved ones from every evil and guide

us with your grace and mercy.

Amen.

Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this

moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen.
