Pastor’s Weekly Message

Word of Life

P. 2

Pentecost Sunday, May 20, 2018

Today is fifty days after Easter, the feast of Pentecost when we

Christians celebrate the coming down of the Holy Spirit on the

apostles, and the birth of the Church. After receiving the Holy

Spirit, the apostles began to speak with boldness the truth about

Jesus and shared the good news with all those they met.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit, they shared their gifts

with the community. The Spirit was a sign of unity and oneness

in the community. They all spoke a language that everyone

could understand. This language is love, the first fruit of the

Holy Spirit. Love is the greatest of the three things that lasts as

St. Paul says: “There are three things that last, faith, hope and

love, the greatest of this is love” (1Cor. 13:13).

In Genesis 11:1-9, we read about the story of “the tower of

Babel,” how humanity was united with one voice but decided to

do things apart from God. The plan was to build a city and a

tower that will exclude God. Their thoughts were: “Let us make

a name for ourselves.” They were going to build a paradise for

themselves but God was not going to be acknowledged. This

was a great mistake and misunderstanding of what paradise

really means. What is paradise without God? At the end, their

pride led to disunity which resulted into confusion and failure.

Through the Holy Spirit, God has united the human language

once again. The apostles spoke with one mind and one heart

after they received the Holy Spirit (Act 4:32). The Spirit of God

within them helped each one to appreciate the contribution of

the other. It was no longer about the interest of the individual

but rather that of God and the community. The human spirit

tends to yield to things of the flesh: selfishness, greed, lust,

impurity, drinking bouts, orgies and the like (Galatians 5:18-

20). However, the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, prompts us to

make room for the Kingdom of God yielding love, joy, peace,

patience, kindness, goodness, self-control (Galatians 5:22). St.

Paul says, “if we live in the Spirit, let us also follow the

Spirit” (Galatians 5:25). In following the Holy Spirit, we are

able to work with others to build up the kingdom of God on this

earth. May the Holy Spirit come into our hearts today and help

us to live our lives as ordinary people in extraordinary ways.

Amen.

MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH: Monday after

Pentecost is now declared the memorial of Mary, Mother of the

Church (Mater Ecclesiae). This day was recently added to the

liturgical calendar of the Church by Pope Francis. Tomorrow

will be the first time to celebrate this memorial even though the

litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary has included this title of Mary

as the Mother of the Church. It is fitting that this day comes

right after Pentecost when we celebrate the birth of the Church.

Mary was there on Pentecost day (Acts 1:14) not so much to

receive the Holy Spirit but to support the apostles in their new

mission. Mary already received the Holy Spirit during the

annunciation as the scriptures attest: “The Holy Spirit will come

upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you;

hence, the holy offspring to be born will be called Son of

God” (Luke 1:35). Just as mothers pray for their children, so it

is with Mary our Mother. She intercedes for us all as a church,

the body of Christ and also as individuals. May her prayers

guide the church as she strives to evangelize our world!

PRIESTS’ CONVOCATION: The priests of the archdiocese

will gather in Galveston from May 21-24 for their bi-annual

convocation. This is a time for prayer, fellowship and

communion among priests working in the archdiocese. The

theme of the convocation is “the spirit of the priesthood in the

wake of trauma: recovery, renewal, rebirth.” Due to the

convocation, there will be no Mass on Tuesday through

Thursday of this week (May 22, 23, and 24) neither will

there be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament on those days.

Please keep Fr. Tony and I and all your priests in prayers during

these days. Pray also for more vocation to the priesthood.

EXHIBITION OF THE EUCHARISTIC MIRACLES: Bring

your families and friends to the exhibition of the Eucharistic

Miracles to be held in our parish next weekend. The exhibition

highlights the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

This is an important part of our Catholic faith. It will be held in

St. Mary’s Hall for our English speakers, and in St. Joseph’s

Hall for our Spanish speakers on Saturday, May 26th from Noon

to 9pm, and on Sunday, May 27th from 8:30am to 7:30pm. My

sincere gratitude to the Adoration Ministry for helping to

organize this exhibition.

CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION: Our parish will hold our 3rd

Annual Corpus Christi Procession after the 5pm Sunday Mass

on June 3rd, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. We will carry

Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament around our parish in public

veneration. Our children who received their First Communion

are invited to be part of the procession by wearing their First

Communion attires that day. These children will be throwing

flowers on the pathway in adoration of Jesus during the

procession. There will be a rehearsal for the children next

Sunday after the 11am Mass. I am grateful to Sr. Maria Makuo

Dunu, DDL for accepting to coordinate the children. We also

invite different prayer groups and organization in the parish to

join us for this solemn procession – our Knights of Columbus,

Catholic Daughters, ACTS group, Movimiento

Familiar Cristiana, Youth, Legion of Mary and

others. Let us all come out to proclaim that

Jesus is Lord!!

Fr. Felix Osasona (pastor@st-mm.com)

“Even among terminally ill patients, a request to die is nearly always a cry for help. … The patient requesting assisted suicide is

often asking, ‘Does anyone want me to be alive, or care enough to talk me out of this request and support me through this difficult

time?’”

“Summer Study” Program:

The “Summer Study” CCE intensive provides an

opportunity for students, grades Kinder through High

School, to complete an entire year of CCE in two short

weeks!

The program dates are Monday - Friday, June 18 - 22 and

June 25 - 29 from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm.

We are still looking for about 10 adult or young adult

catechists to help us lead our grade-level classes. Free

training is provided in early June… you just need to be a

confirmed Catholic who loves their faith and likes kids!

Please contact Mike Smith for more details.

“Early Registration” for CCE:

This spring, we have had an overwhelming turnout at the

two “priority” registrations in April and May…

670 students were registered for CCE and sacraments (590

of them for the two-week summer program; last year

we had 485 students in “Summer Study”). The only

grade-levels still open for the two-week intensive are

Kindergarten and 1st grade… ALL OTHER GRADES

ARE NOW FULL, AND CLOSED!

If you are the parent / guardian of a student (entering

Kinder - 11th Grade) that would like to register for CCE

and / or Sacramental Preparation classes during the

2018 - 2019 catechetical year, please plan to attend either

our “priority” registration event on Saturday, June 2nd from

2:00 pm - 5:00 pm in the FLC, or the “regular”

CCE registration event on Saturday, August 18th from

2:00 pm - 5:00 pm in the FLC. We will not conduct

registrations in the Parish Office; parents MUST attend to

one of the registration events. Please bring a parish offering

envelope so we can verify your membership status.

“Late” registrations will be accepted beginning the week of

Sunday, September 30th during our regular CCE sessions.

Please note that space will be extremely limited at that

point, if we have any space at all. Absences will accrue for

student.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

As a policy, no one will ever be turned away due to an

inability to pay CCE tuition… however, those families

MUST speak with Fr. Felix PRIOR to the family registering

for Formation classes to get a waiver from him. You may

e-mail him at pastor@st-mm.com, or call 281-446-8211.

Again, full payment of CCE tuition is expected at the time

of registration. If you do not pay on the day of registration,

you will lose your spot in class.

Breaking Open the Word for Families for The Feast of Pentecost By Ginger Herrington Reading 1: Acts 2:1-11 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. The promised gift of the Holy Spirit descended upon Mary and the Apostles after they obeyed Jesus, remaining in prayer for nine days. Catholics today who pray novenas are honoring this ancient tradition. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Your love. Do you pray daily? Ask the Holy Spirit for His help in praying. He inspires our prayer and He prays for us even when we’ve lost the words to say.

Reading 2: First Letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 There are different kinds of gift but the same Spirit. St. Paul teaches us that we are all members of the mystical Body of Christ by virtue of our baptism. Every member of the Body is important, and each member contributes something. Thank the Lord for your gifts and talents and use them for the good of the community!

Gospel: John 20:19-23 Jesus said: “Peace be with you.” The apostles were locked in the Upper Room where Jesus celebrated the Last

Supper, but locked doors cannot keep Jesus out – only locked hearts. Open your heart to the Lord and receive His Spirit of peace. The

disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Do you rejoice when you see Him?

A great big THANK YOU to the catechists who volunteered their time to share their faith with our Elementary CCE students. We truly could NOT have done it without you! Your generous stewardship gift is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly!

Mensaje del Párroco

P. 13

Domingo de Pentecostés, 20 de mayo de 2018 Hoy son cincuenta días después de la Pascua, la fiesta de Pentecostés cuando los cristianos celebramos la venida del Espíritu Santo sobre los apóstoles y el nacimiento de la Iglesia. Después de recibir el Espíritu Santo, los apóstoles comenzaron a hablar con valentía la verdad acerca de Jesús y compartieron las buenas nuevas con todos los que se encontraron. A través del poder del Espíritu Santo, compartieron sus dones con la comunidad. El Espíritu era un signo de unidad y unicidad en la comunidad. Todos hablaban un idioma que todos podían entender. Este lenguaje es amor, el primer fruto del Espíritu Santo. El amor es el más grande de las tres cosas que duran como dice San Pablo: "Hay tres cosas que duran, la fe, la esperanza y el amor, el mayor de todos es el amor" (1Corintios 13:13). En Génesis 11: 1-9, leemos acerca de la historia de "la torre de Babel", cómo la humanidad se unió con una sola voz, pero decidieron hacer las cosas aparte de Dios. El plan era construir una ciudad y una torre que excluyeran a Dios. Sus pensamientos fueron: "Hagamos un nombre para nosotros mismos". Iban a construir un paraíso para ellos, pero Dios no iba a ser reconocido. Este fue un gran error e incomprensión de lo que realmente significa el paraíso. ¿Qué es el paraíso sin Dios? Al final, su orgullo los levó a la desunión, lo que resultó en confusión y fracaso. A través del Espíritu Santo, Dios ha unido el lenguaje humano una vez más. Los apóstoles hablaron con una mente y un corazón después de haber recibido el Espíritu Santo (Hech. 4:32). El Espíritu de Dios dentro de ellos ayudó a cada uno a apreciar la contribución del otro. Ya no se trataba del interés del individuo, sino más bien del de Dios y la comunidad. El espíritu humano tiende a ceder a las cosas de la carne: egoísmo, codicia, lujuria, impureza, borracheras, orgías y demás (Gálatas 5: 18-20). Sin embargo, el espíritu de Dios, el Espíritu Santo, nos impulsa a hacer lugar para que el Reino de Dios nos de amor, gozo, paz, paciencia, amabilidad, bondad y dominio propio (Gálatas 5:22). San Pablo dice: "si vivimos en el Espíritu, sigamos también el Espíritu" (Gálatas 5:25). Al seguir al Espíritu Santo, pode-mos trabajar con otros para edificar el reino de Dios en esta tierra. Que el Espíritu Santo entre en nuestros corazones hoy y nos ayude a vivir nuestras vidas como personas ordinarias de formas extraordinarias. Amén. MARÍA, MADRE DE LA IGLESIA: el lunes después de Pentecostés ahora se declara el memorial de María, Madre de la Iglesia (Mater Ecclesiae). Este día fue agregado recientemente al calendario litúrgico de la Iglesia por el Papa Francisco. Mañana será la primera vez que se celebra este memorial a pesar de que la letanía de la Santísima Virgen María incluye este título de María como Madre de la Iglesia. Es apropiado que este día llegue justo después del Pentecostés cuando celebremos el nacimiento de la Iglesia. María estuvo allí el día de Pentecostés (Hechos 1:14) no tanto para recibir el Espíritu Santo sino para apoyar a los apóstoles en su nueva misión. María ya recibió el Espíritu Santo durante la anunciación, como las Escrituras atestiguan: "El Espíritu Santo vendrá sobre ti y el poder del Altísimo te cubrirá con

su sombra; por lo tanto, la santa descendencia que nacerá será llamado Hijo de Dios "(Lucas 1:35). Así como las madres oran por sus hijos, así es con María, nuestra Madre. Ella intercede por todos nosotros como una iglesia, el cuerpo de Cristo y también como individuos. ¡Que sus oraciones guíen a la iglesia mientras se esfuerza por evangelizar nuestro mundo!

CONVOCACION DE SACERDOTES: Los sacerdotes de la arquidiócesis se reunirán en Galveston del 21 al 24 de mayo para su convocatoria bianual. Este es un momento para oración, compañerismo y comunión entre los sacerdotes que trabajan en la arquidiócesis. El tema de la convocatoria es "el espíritu del sacerdocio tras el trauma: recuperación, renovación, renacimiento". Debido a la convocatoria, no habrá Misa de martes a jueves de esta semana (22, 23 y 24 de mayo). tampoco habrá Exposición del Santísimo Sacramento en esos días. Por favor, manténganos al P. Tony y a mi y todos sus sacerdotes en oración durante estos días. Oren también por más vocaciones al sacerdocio. EXPOSICIÓN DE LOS MILAGROS EUCARÍSTICOS: Traigan a sus familiares y amigos a la exposición de los Milagros Eucarísticos que se realizará en nuestra parroquia el próximo fin de semana. La exposición resalta la presencia real de Jesús en el Santísimo Sacramento. Esta es una parte importante de nuestra fe católica. Se llevará a cabo en St. Mary's Hall para nuestros feligrés que hablan en inglés, y en St. Joseph's Hall para nuestros feligrés que hablan español el sábado 26 de mayo desde el mediodía hasta las 9 p.m., y el domingo 27 de mayo de 8:30 a.m. a 7:30 p.m. Mi sincero agradecimiento al Ministerio de Adoración por ayudarme a organizar esta exhibición. PROCESIÓN DE CORPUS CHRISTI: Nuestra parroquia celebrará nuestra 3ra procesión anual de Corpus Christi después de la misa de las 5 p.m. el domingo, 3 de junio, la solemnidad de Corpus Christi. Llevaremos a Jesús en el Santísimo Sacramento alrededor de nuestra parroquia en veneración pública. Nuestros niños que recibieron su Primera Comunión están invitados a ser parte de la procesión vistiendo con sus trajes o vestidos de Primera Comunión ese día. Estos niños arrojarán flores en el camino de adoración a Jesús durante la procesión. Habrá un ensayo para los niños el próximo domingo después de la misa de las 11 de la mañana. Estoy agradecido a la Hna. María Makuo Dunu, DDL por aceptar a coordinar los niños. También invitamos a diferentes grupos de oración y organizaciones en la parroquia a unirse a nosotros para esta procesión solemne: nuestros Caballeros de Colón, Hijas Católicas, grupo de ACTS, Movimiento Familiar Cristiana, Jóvenes, Legión de María y otros. ¡¡¡Salgamos todos a proclamar que Jesús es el Señor !!

Fr. Felix Osasona (pastor@st-mm.com)

“Incluso entre pacientes con enfermedades terminales, solicitar la muerte es casi siempre un grito pidiendo ayuda. ... El paciente que

solicita el suicidio asistido suele preguntarse: ‘¿Hay alguien que quiera que yo siga vivo, o que se preocupe tanto como para

disuadirme y apoyarme en este difícil momento?’”
