Reflections ˜ Reflexiones GGospel: Mark 16:15-20 This is the closing scene from Matthew's Gospel. The eleven disciples have returned to Galilee after receive the good news of the resurrection from Mary Magdalene. At their first sight of the risen Lord, the disciples still cannot shake off all their doubt. But when Jesus speaks, they recognize his voice and his message. They are to go, baptize, and teach. They are to invite all nations to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we might get the idea that this happened such a long time ago, and the "going, baptizing, and teaching" were for the apostles and not for us today. Of course the apostles and their successors—the pope and bishops, and their helpers, the priests—have a great responsibility here. But the rest of us also belong to the "priesthood of the faithful." We also can go to others, reach out with a helping hand, a friendly welcome, a listening ear. We can "baptize" others, not with water (unless it is an emergency and the one we are baptizing is in danger of death), but with our prayers, our love, and our concern. We can teach the way of Jesus in the best way possible—by our example. Every follower of Jesus is an apostle in this way. And we can do this because Jesus is with us always, to the end! 1.) How will you "go, baptize, and teach" today, in your particular situation, with and for the people God has placed in your life? Are you ready and willing to be an apostle today?

Evangelio: Marcos 16:15-20 Esta es la escena final del Evangelio de Mateo. Los once discípulos han regresado a Galilea después de que María Magdalena les dio la buena noticia de la Resurrección. Después de la primera vez que vieron al Señor resucitado, los discípulos no pudieron sacudirse todas sus dudas. Pero cuando Jesús habla, reconocieron su voz y su mensaje. Hay que ir a bautizar y a enseñar. Tienen que invitar a todas las naciones a convertirse en discípulos de Jesucristo. A veces podríamos pensar que esto sucedió hace tanto tiempo, y que "ir, bautizar y enseñar" era para los apóstoles y no para nosotros. Por supuesto, los apóstoles y sus sucesores, el Papa y los obispos, y sus ayudantes, los sacerdotes, tienen una gran responsabilidad. Pero el resto de nosotros también pertenecemos al "sacerdocio común de los fieles". También acudir a las necesidades de los demás, extender la mano, una bienvenida amistosa, un oído atento. Podemos "bautizar" a los demás, no con agua (a menos que sea una emergencia y esté en peligro de muerte), sino con nuestras oraciones, nuestro amor y nuestra preocupación. Podemos enseñar el camino de Jesús de la mejor manera posible con nuestro ejemplo. Así, cada seguidor de Jesús es un apóstol. ¡Y podemos hacer esto porque Jesús está con nosotros siempre, hasta el final! 1.) ¿Cómo vas a " ir a bautizar y enseñar" hoy, en tu situación particular, con y para las personas que Dios ha colocado en tu vida? ¿Estás listo y dispuesto a ser apóstol?

Pastor s Message˜ Mensaje del Pa´rroco

PERSEVERANCE

Life would be so much easier if Jesus were still walking the earth. Think of the benefits. We would have proof that he lived, died, and rose again. We really could get an answer to "What would Jesus do?" But think of the temptations: "Lord, find me a job." "Please cure my friend." We might neglect responsibilities to be with him. Jesus commanded his disciples to proclaim the Good News. He promised the Holy Spirit's power to help them persevere and do extraordinary things in his name. Then he returned to his place at God's right hand. At our baptism, we received the same power from on high as the disciples, and we’re "clothed in Christ." For us to persevere as followers of Jesus we continually need the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us set aside time each day, as the first disciples did, to pray as we approach Pentecost.

Living Stewardship Now Explore the opportunities in your parish for praying with others: prayer groups, Eucharistic Adoration, rosary group. Praying together can strengthen the habit of personal prayer. Copyright (c) 2011, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

PERSEVERANCIA

La vida sería mucho más fácil si Jesús todavía estuviera aquí en la tierra. Piensa en los beneficios que eso traería. Tendríamos prueba de que él vivió, murió y resucitó. Tendríamos una respuesta cada vez que nos preguntáramos, "¿Qué es lo que haría Jesús?" Pero piensa en las tentaciones: "Señor, encuéntrame empleo". "Por favor cura a mi amigo". Desatenderíamos nuestras responsabilidades para estar con él. Jesús le encomendó a sus discípulos proclamar la Buena Nueva, y les prometió que el poder del Espíritu Santo les ayudaría a perseverar y a hacer cosas extraordinarias en su nombre. Entonces regresó a tomar su lugar a la derecha de Dios Padre. En nuestro bautismo recibimos el mismo poder de lo alto que recibieron los discípulos y fuimos "revestidos de Cristo". Para poder perseverar como discípulos de Jesús necesitamos continuamente el poder del Espíritu Santo. Igual que los primeros discípulos dediquemos todos los días un tiempo para orar a fin de que podamos siempre estar abiertos al poder del Espíritu Santo.

MISSION STATEMENT Today we celebrate Christ’s ascension into heaven and his commissioning of the disciples to carry on his mission in the world. First we hear Luke’s description of those events in the opening verses of the Acts of the Apostles. Next we hear words of encouragement and guidance from the Letter to the Ephesians. Finally we hear Mark’s account of the Ascension, foretelling the mighty words and acts the Christian community would do in Jesus’ name. Together these scriptures give us a vision of the mission of the church of Jesus Christ—a mission statement of sorts. Like mission statements in our parishes and corporations, this mission statement can help us set priorities and focus our activities. It can guide and support us as we strive to continue Christ’s messianic mission on earth.

ENGLISH BIBLE STUDY: In the month of MAY, Bible Study will continue Paul’s Letter to the Romans with Fr. Cameron Faller. Sessions will be held on Tuesdays, May 8, 15, and 22 in the School Cafeteria at 7:00pm. Bring your Bibles to follow along with Father. Light refreshments will be served. On May 29th, movie night, the documentary on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, will be shown which is in line with Pope Francis’ encyclical ‘Laudato Si’.

DECLARACIÓN DE LA MISIÓN Hoy celebramos la Ascensión de Cristo al cielo y su elección de los discípulos para que continuaran su misión en el mundo. Primero escuchamos la descripción de Lucas de dichos acontecimientos en los primeros versículos de los Hechos de los Apóstoles. Luego escuchamos palabras de aliento y consejo en la carta a los efesios. Por último, escuchamos el relato de Marcos de la Ascensión, que predice las poderosas palabras y obras que la comunidad cristiana hará en nombre de Jesús. Juntas, estas lecturas nos brindan una visión de la misión de la Iglesia de Jesucristo, una especie de declaración de misión. Como las declaraciones de misión de nuestras parroquias y empresas, esta declaración de misión puede ayudarnos a establecer prioridades y enfocar nuestras actividades. Puede guiarnos y apoyarnos mientras luchamos por continuar la misión mesiánica de Cristo en la tierra. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Happy Mother s Day! from The

Church of the Epiphany The most important person on earth is A Mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral: a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angels have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to Heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature; God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation. What on God’s good Earth is more glorious than this: To be a mother? - Cardinal Józef Mindszenty (March 29, 1892-May 6, 1975) Archbishop of Esztergom, Prince Primate of Hungary and Servant of God
