A Year-End Prayer At the end of this school year we give thanks to God: For all the teaching and learning that has taken place in our school, both in and out of the classroom,

For the talents and gifts that have been shared and the challenges that have been faced;

For the burdens that have been lifted and the hurts that have been healed;

For the respect and care that has been given. We give thanks for the friendships that have just begun and for those that have grown.

For the faith that has been lived in our daily struggles,

For the hope that has lifted our hearts on the dark days And for the love that has kept us going.

We give thanks for the community that we are, and we ask you Lord - Bless our students as they finish the year: may your Spirit in-spire them with confidence and calmness Bless our families as we take our holidays, may our time together leave us with memo-ries to cherish. Pour out your love on us that we may return renewed and refreshed to con-tinue our journey together .

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen

Step 1: "Say the Rosary eve-ry day to obtain peace for the world." The Blessed Virgin Mary promised: "In the end my Immaculate Heart will tri-umph and there will be peace."

But first there is a battle to be won! Mary asked us to: "Pray, pray, daily and make sacrifices for sinners." and "Amend your lives and ask pardon for sins." Lucia of Fatima: "The Holy Rosary is so powerful that it can solve any problem, mate-rial, spiritual, national or international." Let's help save souls by using the most powerful weapon given to us from Heaven - The ROSARY! Rosaries will be available at all entrances. If they are gone, please put your name and phone number or email address on a paper and put it in the box. Pamphlets on how to say the Rosary will also be available at all entrances in both English and Spanish. Group Rosary times together are listed in the bulletin

DOMINGO MISA EN ESPAÑOL

LA MISA CELEBRADA EN ESPAÑOL, SERÁ MUDADA DE 12:30 A 12 MEDIODÍA, COMIENZO

3 DE JUNIO

PRECIOSA SANGRE En esta solemnidad centramos nuestra atención al Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Escuchamos el relato de renovación de la antigua alianza, la cual Moisés selló rociando la sangre de animales en el altar de sacrificio, así como en las personas. Jesús, cuya sangre es la san-gre de la nueva alianza, derramó esa preciosa sangre en la cruz para salvarnos del pecado y prometernos la vida eterna. La sangre es la fuente de vida que fluye por nuestro cuerpo. La preciosa sangre de Cristo es la fuente de vida de nuestro espíritu. Que hoy, como el salmista, ofrezcamos un sacrificio de agradecimiento al Señor, cuyo cuerpo y sangre nos fortalecen para llevar la Buena Nueva a todos los que conocemos. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Los cristianos creemos que Jesucristo esta físicamente presente en el pan y el vino consagrado durante la Misa. Esta creencia es tan antigua como nuestra Iglesia, pero fue solo en el siglo XIII que los cristianos comenzaron a venerar la presencia sacramen-tada de Jesús en la hostia. Fue durante esta época que nació la fiesta de Corpus Cristi o la actual celebración del Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo. Muchas comunidades cristianas celebran esta fiesta con procesiones y cantos en honor al Santísimo Sacramen-to del altar. Recuerdo que en Texas el pueblo méxicoamericano cantaba: "Bendito, bendito, bendito sea Dios, / los ángeles cantan y ala-ban a Dios (2x). Yo creo Dios mío que estas en el altar / oculto en la hostia ten vengo adorar (2x)". Este canto enfatiza la verdadera presencia de Jesús en el pan consagrado, pero sus can-tores ignoran el hecho que nosotros también fuimos consagrados en el Bautismo; consagrados para "alter Cristus" (otro Cristo) en el vecindario. En un mundo donde menos gente asiste a Misa el único Corpus Cristi que la mayoría de la gente secularizada verá es tu cuerpo. Ojalá podamos comportarnos como buenos testigos de la fe y que proclamemos "bendito, bendito" siempre y en todo lugar. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM,
