PEntecost
Then there appeared to them tongues as of fire. . . . they were all filled with the Holy Spirit - Acts of the Apostles 2:3, 4
When you send forth your spirit. . . and you renew the face of the [E]arth. - Psalm 104:30
To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. - 1 Corinthians 12:7
. . . [Jesus] breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” - John 20:22
Pentecost – filled with the Spirit – renew the face of the Earth – breathed on them / breath, Spirit, renewal, gifted by God
On this great Solemnity of Pentecost, the birth of the Church, we pause to reflect and ponder on what this great gift of the Spirit is in our lives. God renews the face of the [E]arth. We are called and sent to cooperate with God’s grace in this renewal, in the sharing of God’s gifts with all.
Let us make some time today to be aware of our breath, the very life of God within us. As we breathe in and out, let us ask our good and gracious God to empower us to do God’s will in all that we think, say, and do.

PENTECOSTÉS
"y aparecieron unas lenguas como de fuego que se repartieron y fueron posándose sobre cada uno de ellos. Todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les concedía que se expresaran."
Hecho de los Apóstoles, 2 - Bíblia Católica Online
"Si envías tu espíritu, son creados y así renuevas la faz de la tierra."
Salmos, 104 - Bíblia Católica Online
"La manifestación del Espíritu que a cada uno se le da es para provecho común"
1º Carta a los Corintios, 12 - Bíblia Católica Online
"Dicho esto, sopló sobre ellos y les dijo: «Reciban el Espíritu Santo:"
Evangelio según San Juan, 20 - Bíblia Católica Online
Pentecostés - lleno del Espíritu - renueva la faz de la Tierra - respira en ellos / aliento, Espíritu, renovación, dotado por Dios
En esta gran solemnidad de Pentecostés, el nacimiento de la Iglesia, hacemos una pausa para pensar y reflexionar sobre lo que este gran don del Espíritu es en nuestras vidas. Dios renueva la faz de la Tierra. Somos llamados y enviados a cooperar con la gracia de Dios en esta renovación, en compartir los dones de Dios con todos.
Démonos un tiempo hoy para estar conscientes de nuestra respiración, de la vida misma de Dios dentro de nosotros; y mientras inhalamos y exhalamos, pidamos a nuestro Dios bueno y misericordioso, que nos capacite para hacer la voluntad de Dios en todo lo que pensamos, decimos y hacemos.

Public Masses in the Church
Church Opening Information
As you may know, government officials have approved for churches to open provided that they comply with certain restrictions as identified by county public health officials. However, as Catholics, we know that we must look to our bishop and wait for his guidance and permission to open the church for public Masses. Our bishop and all the bishops of California have asked us to patiently abide by the government restrictions that are meant to keep everyone safe. Our bishop will give us guidance on how these are to be applied to our celebration of our Catholic Mass.
We are so blessed to be Catholics because we can have peace of mind knowing that God will bless us if we obey our bishop. Most likely, the churches will be open for public Mass soon. We will probably not be obligated to go to Mass at first because some people will likely not feel safe. The obligation to attend Sunday Mass will not be reinstated until the pandemic is completely over.
Please be patient as we comply with lawmakers and obey our bishop. For the sake of everyone’s safety, we will almost certainly be required to make use of masks, sanitizing gel, wipes, etc. Since these items are difficult to acquire, we would appreciate receiving them as donations. These donations may be brought to the parish office.

Misas públicas en la iglesia
Información de Apertura de La Iglesia
Como sabrán, los funcionarios del gobierno han aprobado la apertura de iglesias siempre que cumplan con ciertas restricciones identificadas por los funcionarios de salud pública del condado. Sin embargo, como Católicos, sabemos que debemos mirar a nuestro obispo y esperar su guía y permiso para abrir la iglesia para las Misas públicas. Nuestro obispo y todos los obispos de California nos han pedido que cumplamos pacientemente con las restricciones gubernamentales que están destinadas a mantener a todos a salvo. Nuestro obispo nos dará orientación sobre cómo se deben aplicar a nuestra celebración de nuestra Misa Católica.
Somos muy bendecidos de ser Católicos porque podemos estar tranquilos sabiendo que Dios nos bendecirá si obedecemos a nuestro obispo. Lo más probable es que las iglesias estén abiertas para la Misa pública pronto. Probablemente no estaremos obligados a ir a Misa al principio porque algunas personas probablemente no se sentirán seguras. La obligación de asistir a la Misa dominical no se restablecerá hasta que la pandemia haya terminado por completo.
Tenga paciencia mientras cumplimos con los legisladores y obedecemos a nuestro obispo. Por el bien de la seguridad de todos, es casi seguro que debemos usar máscaras, gel desinfectante, toallitas, etc. Dado que estos artículos son difíciles de adquirir, agradeceríamos recibirlos como donaciones. Estas donaciones pueden llevarse a la oficina parroquial.

The importance of Eucharistic Adoration is shown in the fact that the Church has a ritual that regulates it: the Rite of Eucharistic Exposition and Benediction. This is an extension of the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament which occurs in every Mass: "Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb." Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament flows from the sacrifice of the Mass and serves to deepen our hunger for Communion with Christ and the rest of the Church. The Rite concludes with the ordained minister blessing the faithful with the Blessed Sacrament.

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1452)” – Diocesan Guidelines for the Sacrament of Penance.
Please enter from Harrisburg and wait along the oleander bushes on McClellan if there is a long line. Please follow signs.
For your protection and the protection of our priests, if you are coming to confession in a car or by walking up, wear a mask and maintain safe social distancing of at least six (6) feet.

Why we attend Mass:
The Eucharistic sacrifice of the Mass is the action of Christ (General Instruction of the Roman Missal [GIRM], no. 11) and of God's people, in which the human race adores the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, and the faithful join themselves to Christ in giving thanks and in acknowledging the great things God has done. The Mass is the "sacrament of unity" in which the faithful are nourished from the table of God's Word and of Christ's Body. This unity is expressed particularly in common posture, in communal singing, reverential silence, and in sharing together of the one bread and one cup. - The Mass according to the USCCB

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. (Partial indulgence)
A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC
Please pray this prayer daily for an end to the Covid-19 pandemic.
O Mary, you always brighten our path as a sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while remaining steadfast in faith. O loving Mother, you know what we need, and we are confident you will provide for us as at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician, for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died. Intercede also for those charged with protecting the health and safety of others and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure. Help us, O Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross, to the glory of the Resurrection.
Amen.
Under thy protection we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God. In our needs, despise not our petitions, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
(Adapted by the Knights of Columbus from the prayer by Pope Francis)
