May 21, 2017 Sixth Sunday of Easter

PEOPLE OF HOPE Throughout this Easter season the readings have drawn us into the experience of the early church. We have tasted the excitement and zeal of the first Chris-tians. Now, with them, we listen to the words of Saint Peter, who reminds us that when people notice that we are people of hope, we should be ready to explain why. This challenges us. Do others even notice that we are people of hope? In a world often marked by cynicism and hopelessness, do we stand out as people who offer hope and reassurance to others? In today’s Gospel Jesus promises that when he leaves the earth he will not leave us orphaned. Today he promises to send his Advocate, the Spirit of truth who will be with us always. Let us acknowledge the presence of the Holy Spirit and ask the Spirit to make us people of hope. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Adoración al San simo …Adoración al San simo Sacramento todos los viernes de 8:30am/6:00pm

PUEBLO DE ESPERANZA Durante este tiempo de Pascua las lecturas nos han llevado por la experiencia de la Iglesia en sus primeros días. Hemos saboreado el entusiasmo y el celo de los primeros cristianos. Ahora, con ellos, escuchamos las palabras de san Pedro, que nos recuerda que cuando la gente note que somos pueblo de esperanza, debemos estar preparados para explicar por qué, lo cual nos pre-senta un reto. ¿Será que otros sí notan que somos pueblo de esperanza? En un mundo marcado por el cinismo y la desesperanza, ¿nos destacamos por ser personas que ofrecen esperanza y confianza a los otros? En el Evan-gelio de hoy Jesús promete que cuando deje esta tierra no nos dejará huérfanos. Hoy promete enviar al Conso-lador, el Espíritu de la verdad que siempre permanecerá con nosotros. Reconozcamos la presencia del Espíritu Santo y pidamos al Espíritu que nos haga pueblo de es-peranza. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Use Your Envelopes or use E-Giving We encourage everyone to use their envelopes. Or E-Giving. Think of your envelopes or on-line giving as a gift to God. You take the time to thoughtfully, prayerfully choose your gift, wrap it and present it eagerly to our Lord. Many times families will ask for a letter stating that they are registered, partici-pating members of San Sebastian in order to become a Godparent, Confirmation Sponsor or simply to enroll in Catholic Schools. Using your envelope or E-Giving makes our job easier and allows us to say “Yes! this family is reg-istered and participating here at San Sebastian Catholic Church.”
