STEWARDSHIP / CORRESPONSABILIDAD
Gratitude in Action: Our Way of Life / Gratitud en Acción: Nuestra forma de Vida
Come Holy Spirit, Come!
What a simple, yet powerful prayer. Through the workings
of the Spirit, we come to encounter Jesus, to know Him,
love Him and serve Him. The Spirit strengthens and
supports this encounter so we may continue to grow in our
relationship with, and love of, Jesus.
In Confirmation, the Holy Spirit completes the grace of
Baptism by a special outpouring of gifts. These gifts
confirm the baptized in union with Christ. Thus, we are
equipped for encounter with Christ and active
participation in the life of the Church. These special gifts
are wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, piety,
fortitude, and fear of the Lord. (Catechism of the Catholic
Church, Second Edition)
Saint Luke, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
composed two books of THE NEW TESTAMENT, The
Gospel According to Luke and The Acts of the Apostles,
which is sometimes called “The Gospel of the Holy
Spirit”.
In a colloquy between the Holy Spirit and a Follower of
the Spirit, the Spirit says:
“I have never spoken through a voice heard by human
ears, nor have I ever been seen with human eyes. . . . I
testify by a Light unseen by human eyes, by an inspiration
that is unheard and cannot be imagined by men upon
earth. . . . Faith is a gift of God.”1
Father Gary Caster, in his book Inspired: The Powerful
Presence of the Holy Spirit, tells of an invitation he
received to address a Confirmation class during one of the
nights while he was conducting a parish mission in Dallas,
Texas. The class admitted to little interest in being there
that evening. After an invitation from Father Caster to the
class, which was somewhat discomforting to the DRE and
the religion teacher, he instructed the class when they left
that evening to ask their parents, grandparents, even their
pastor, DRE or religion teacher:“What difference does
Jesus make in your life?”
The reason for Father Caster’s question? “If the people
responsible for teaching the faith can’t explain the
difference faith makes, then faith makes no difference.”
Note: Success! Father Caster was invited back to celebrate
the students’ special day.
What difference DOES Jesus make in YOUR life?

¡Ven Espíritu Santo, ven!
Qué oración tan simple pero poderosa. A través de las obras
del Espíritu, nos encontramos con Jesús, lo conocemos, lo
amamos y lo servimos. El Espíritu fortalece y apoya este
encuentro para que podamos continuar creciendo en nuestra
relación y amor con Jesús.
En la Confirmación, el Espíritu Santo completa la gracia
del Bautismo con un derramamiento especial de dones.
Estos dones confirman a los bautizados en unión con
Cristo. Por lo tanto, estamos equipados para el encuentro
con Cristo y la participación activa en la vida de la
Iglesia. Estos dones especiales son la sabiduría, la
comprensión, el conocimiento, el consejo, la piedad, la
fortaleza y el temor del Señor. (Catecismo de la Iglesia
Católica, Segunda Edición)
San Lucas, a través de la inspiración del Espíritu Santo,
compuso dos libros de EL NUEVO TESTAMENTO, El
Evangelio según Lucas y Los Hechos de los Apóstoles,
que a veces se llama "El Evangelio del Espíritu Santo".
En un coloquio entre el Espíritu Santo y un seguidor del
Espíritu, el Espíritu dice:
“Nunca he hablado a través de una voz que escuchan
los oídos humanos, ni nunca he sido vista con ojos
humanos. . . . Testifico con una Luz invisible para los
ojos humanos, con una inspiración que no se escucha y
que los hombres no pueden imaginar en la tierra. . . .
La fe es un don de Dios”.1
El Padre Gary Caster, en su libro Inspirado: La
poderosa presencia del Espíritu Santo, habla de una
invitación que recibió para asistir a una clase de
confirmación durante una de las noches mientras
conducía una misión parroquial en Dallas, Texas. La
clase admitió tener poco interés en estar allí esa noche.
Después de una invitación del padre Caster a la clase,
que fue un tanto incómodo para el DRE y el maestro de
religión, él le dio instrucciones a la clase cuando salieron
esa noche para preguntar a sus padres, abuelos, incluso a
su pastor, al DRE o al maestro de religión:“¿Qué
diferencia hay? ¿Jesús hace en tu vida?”
El motivo de la pregunta del Padre Caster? "Si las
personas responsables de enseñar la fe no pueden
explicar la diferencia que hace la fe, entonces la fe no
hace ninguna diferencia".
Nota: ¡Éxito! El Padre Caster fue invitado de nuevo a
celebrar el día especial de los estudiantes.
¿Qué diferencia HACE Jesús en tu vida?
Pastor’s Message by Father Oscar Martin Picos
How does the Holy Spirit affect my life?
This is a very important question for
everyone, but especially for those who join
the faith and those who falter in it.
God does not disregard His own creation. He
has not abandoned humanity. He acts
through His Spirit to strengthen the life of every Christian
and every human being who is open to His grace.
The Holy Spirit makes me find love with God and the
love of God every day.
The Holy Spirit orders my life from love, giving new
meaning to my desires, my longings, my failures, my
successes, my relationships with others, and my
relationship with God.
The Holy Spirit strengthens my human and spiritual
weakness in prayer, meditation, study, work, and all
daily life.
The Holy Spirit gives life to my life. There are still
many remnants of death in my life that need to be
transformed through the grace of the Spirit.
The Holy Spirit teaches me to seek God well, leading
me to a deeper encounter with myself, with others,
and with God.
The Holy Spirit teaches me to purify my heart and let
go of unhealthy desires, worries, useless or
embarrassing occupations, and everyday tasks. The
Holy Spirit makes me understand that the love of God
is not something from the past, and to experience
God’s love anew in the Trinity every day.
As Christians, we
must repeatedly
review our lives
in the light of the
Holy Spirit. We
should not seek
self-sufficiency
by ignoring the
presence of God
in our lives, for
God is the only
One who can
satisfy us with
life, joy and
fulfillment.
¿Qué hace el Espíritu Santo en mi vida?
Esta es una pregunta muy importante que hay que
responder una y otra vez a todas las personas, pero de
una manera especial a los que se incorporan a la fe o a
los que flaquean en ella.
Dios no se desentiende de su creación. La Humanidad,
a pesar de todo lo que vemos cada día, no está
abandonada por Dios que actúa mediante su Espíritu.
Veamos algunas de las acciones que fortalecen la vida
del cristiano y de todo ser humano que permanece
abierto a su acción:
El Espíritu Santo me hace encontrar cada día con
Dios amor y con el amor de Dios.
Ordena mi vida desde el amor. Mis anhelos, mis
deseos, mis fracasos y mis éxitos, mis relaciones
con los demás y con Dios cuando Él actúa
adquieren un nuevo sentido en mi existencia.
Fortalece mi debilidad humana y espiritual en la
oración, la meditación, el estudio, el trabajo y toda
la vida diaria.
Da vida a mi vida. Hay aún muchos restos de
muerte en mi vida que necesitan ser transformados
y recuperar el talante divino.
Me enseña a buscar bien a Dios y me conduce a un
encuentro profundo conmigo mismo y con los
demás.
Me enseña a preparar mi corazón, purificando la
voluntad de afectos extraños, el entendimiento o la
razón de preocupaciones, la memoria de
ocupaciones inútiles o embarazosas y alguna vez
también de las necesarias.
Me hace comprender que el amor de Dios no es
algo del pasado y me da pistas más que suficientes
para actualizar el amor de siempre tal como la
Trinidad quiere.
Los cristianos debemos estar una y otra vez revisando
nuestra vida a la luz del Espíritu Santo. No debemos de
caer en un afán de autosuficiencia prescindiendo de las
acciones de Dios en nuestra vida; Dios es el único que
puede saciarnos de vida, gozo y plenitud.

Remembering our Deceased
Loved Ones
Transitioning remembrance of deceased loved
ones from the Sanctuary Candle to Our
Blessed Mother continues. A candle will burn
perpetually near Our Mother’s statue, Our
Lady of Grace, whose intercession we will
seek.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never
was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left
unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of
virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I
stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word
Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy
hear and answer me.
Amen.
Our warmest good wishes to parishioner Eleanor Miltner
who celebrated her 100th birthday on May 13.
Twenty parish friends joined Eleanor at Sterling Court to
congratulate her, and hear how she, with others, helped
start our Thrift Store and kept it running. Everyone
enjoyed her quick wit, and jovial and graceful manner!
Eleanor was presented with a “Proclamation of Service”
to her parish and family, signed by Father Oscar Martin
Picos. Cake and refreshments were served.
