HUMOR CORNER In a car in the middle of Colorado a wife said to her husband, “Oh dear, I’m afraid the house is going to burn down! I’m sure I left the iron on.”

“The house will not burn down, Dear,” he said. “Trust me.”

“How do you know that?” asked the wife. He replied, “because I left the water running in the bathtub.”

SECOND COLLECTION

FOR CATHOLIC COMMUNICATIONS This Sunday, May 19th, you will have the opportunity to support TV programs and Masses, newspapers and radio programs with your donation to the CATHOLIC COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN. Please be generous in this Second Collection.

CHANGE OF SUMMER MASS SCHEDULE

Within a few weeks, summer vacations will begin, and many families will leave Key Biscayne to take a break elsewhere. Since during these months the Mass attendance is reduced, beginning Sunday, June 9th, until September 1st, 2013, the Mass schedule will be as follows: 9:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M., and 6:00 P.M. (English)

12:45 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. (Spanish)

This of course combines the Masses at 8:30 am and 10:00 am into only one at 9:00 am. At the same time, the Mass at 11:30 am will be advanced to 11:00 am. The Saturday Mass will continue as always at 5:30 pm. On September 8th, we will return to the regular schedule.

THE CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION

ON JUNE 2, 2013

At St. Agnes, we have the cherished tradition of a procession in honor of the Body of Christ—Corpus Christi. This year it will be on Sunday, June 2th. We will begin in the church after 12:45 P.M. Mass, that celebrates the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. Afterwards, we will have the procession through the gardens around the church, ending in the Chapel where the Blessed Sacrament will remain exposed. Everyone is invited.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

SPIRIT OF GOD

Today, Pentecost Sunday, we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit which makes us Church. The Holy Spirit of God comes at Pentecost with the breath of Jesus, as GOD breathes His life into a lump of clay, and the life

of all humankind comes to birth in Adam. When pride erects the tower of Babel, it results in the confusion of languages that divide peoples and nations. So the Holy Spirit of God heals all division at Pentecost in the universal proclamation of God’s marvels to each in his or her native language.

We are called to celebrate the fire of inspired words, passionate hearts, and visionary minds that shapes us as a universal Church. We are called to celebrate the wind of spiritual consolation, healing power, and risen life that molds us as a universal Church. We are called to celebrate Jesus’ breathing on us in the baptismal cleansing, sacramental anointing, and Eucharistic nourishment that brings us to birth as universal Church.

When a person has peace, s/he is able to enjoy the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are: love, joy, peace, tolerance, kindness, gentleness and self-control. When Jesus appears to the disciples, they are filled with happiness, letting go of their fright, and experiencing the joy of His love. Because, while fear paralyzes, love energizes.

The annual feast of Pentecost affords us an opportunity for being renewed in the Spirit which continues to be a source of life and guidance for all who will open the window of their minds and hearts in welcome. To that end we pray:

“Spirit of God, inspire us, enliven us, challenge and chasten us, empower us and humble us. Illuminate our way that we, in turn, may illuminate the way of others.” Amen

PastorPastor’’s Notess Notes

Come, Holy Spirit, fill us with your love, and enliven our faith with your gifts.

Grant us wisdom to recognize those who are searching, understanding to become messengers of your call, and right judgment to speak your word of invitation.

Bestow on us courage to act with confidence, knowledge to share the gift of faith with others, and reverence to honor your grace in all we meet.

Deepen our wonder and awe in your presence as you guide us in witnessing to the power of the gospel. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen

Ven, Espíritu Santo, llénanos de tu amor, y reánima nuestra fe con tus dones y regalos. Oh Espíritu Santo, dános Sabiduría para descubrir lo que buscamos. Entendimiento para ser mensajeros de tu llamada Consejo, para proclamar tus palabras de invitación. Infunde en nosotros Fortaleza para actuar sin miedo Ciencia, para compartir el regalo de la fe con otros. Piedad, para honrar tu presencia en todo lo que nos rodea. Concedemos el espíritu de tu santo temor, para que nos guies dando testimonio del poder del Evangelio. Te lo pedimos por Cristo, Señor Nuestro.

Amen.

EL ESPIRITU SANTO

Hoy, Fiesta de Pentecostés, celebramos la venida del Espíritu Santo. Hoy se celebra el nacimiento de la Iglesia. El Espíritu Divino infundió en los primeros cristianos el soplo de Jesús, lo mismo que Dios-Creador sopló sobre el muñeco de barro convirtiéndolo en ser viviente a

nuestro primer padre Adán. Cuando la soberbia de los humanos levantó la torre de Babel, vino la confusión de las lenguas y la división de los pueblos. Hoy el Espíritu Divino viene en Pentecostés a curar toda clase de divisiones, proclamando las maravillas de Dios en la lengua de cada individuo.

Estamos llamados a celebrar el fuego de las palabras inspiradas, de los corazones apasionados, de las mentes visionarias... y así construimos la Iglesia Universal. Estamos llamados a celebrar el viento del consuelo espiritual, del poder de curación, de la vida resucitada que nos moldea en una Iglesia Universal. Estamos llamados a celebrar el soplo de Jesús sobre nosotros en las aguas bautismales, en la unción sacramental y en el alimento eucarístico que nos hace nacer y crecer en una Iglesia Universal.

Cuando uno está en paz, disfruta de los frutos del Espíritu Santo, que son: amor, alegría, paz, tolerancia, amabilidad, bondad, mansedumbre y dominio de sí mismo. Cuando aparece Jesús los discípulos se llenan de alegría, abandonan el miedo y sienten las consecuencias del amor. Pues mientras el miedo paraliza, el amor moviliza.

Esta Fiesta de Pentecostés nos brinda la oportunidad de renovarnos en el Espíritu, fuente de vida. El nos guía e ilumina para ser capaces de abrir las ventanas de la mente y el corazón y dejar que El nos invada, dándole la bienvenida. Oremos hoy de esta manera: “Espíritu Divino, inspíranos, vitalízanos, desafíanos, corrígenos, llénanos de tu fuerza y haznos humildes. Ilumina nuestro camino, de modo que nosotros podamos iluminar el camino de otros”. Amén.

MAYO 19 SEGUNDA COLECTA POR LAS COMUNICACIONES CATOLICAS

Este domingo 19 de mayo, tendrán la oportunidad de dar su apoyo a las Misas televisadas, programas católicos de radio y televisión y periódicos en la Segunda Colecta para la campaña de las Comunicaciones Católicas.

EN VERANO CAMBIA HORARIO DE MISAS

Dentro de unos días comenzarán las vacaciones de verano y muchas familias dejarán Key Biscayne para tomar un descanso fuera de la Isla. Dado que en estos meses disminuye la asistencia a la Iglesia; a partir del domingo, día 9 de junio hasta el 1 de septiembre de 2013, el horario de misas de los domingos en St. Agnes será así:

9:00 A.M., 11:00 A.M. y 6:00 P.M. (English) 12:45 P.M. y 7:30 P.M. (Español)

El cambio supone reducir las misas de 8:30 A.M. y 10:00 A.M. a una sola, a las 9:00 AM. Al mismo tiempo la misa de 11:30 A.M. se adelanta media hora, en estos meses será a las 11:00 A.M. La misa de los sábados seguirá como siempre a las 5:30 P.M.. El domingo, día 8 de septiembre regresaremos al horario de siempre.

DANOS TU ESPIRITU Donde no hay Espíritu, no puede brotar la vida. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

Donde no hay Espíritu, lo único possible es el miedo. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

Donde no hay Espíritu, aparecen los fantasmas. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

Donde no hay Espíritu, la rutina lo invade todo. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

Donde no hay Espíritu, no podemos reunirnos en tu nombre. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

Donde no hay Espíritu, se olvidan las cosas esenciales. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

Donde no hay Espíritu, no puede haber esperanza. Danos tu Espíritu, Señor.

PROCESION DEL CORPUS CHRISTI 2 DE JUNIO DE 2013

En St. Agnes es ya una tradición la procesión del Corpus Christi. Este año será el domingo, 2 de junio, al finalizar la misa de 12:45 P.M. en donde celebramos la Fiesta del Cuerpo y de la Sangre de Cristo. Después tendremos la procesión por los jardines de la Parroquia, terminando en la Capilla donde quedará expuesto el Santísimo Sacramento. Todos están invitados.

IMPORTANCIA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO Sin el Espíritu Santo, Dios está lejos; Cristo se queda en el pasado; el Evangelio es letra muerta; la Iglesia, una mera organización; la autoridad, poder y mando; la misión de evangelizar, sólo propaganda, el culto, un rito mágico y el obrar cristiano, una moral de esclavos.

Ignatius Hazin

LAS PERSONAS Y LOS VITRALES Las personas son como los vitrales. Brillan cuando el sol está afuera, pero cuando la noche se instala, su verdadera belleza se revela solo si hay una luz que brilla desde dentro.
