MEssage from our MinistersThird Sunday of Easter
We must obey God rather than men. - Acts 5:29
You changed my mourning into dancing. . . . - Psalm 30:12 . . . and the elders fell down and worshiped. - Revelation 5:14 And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord. - John 21:12 Peter and the apostles knew it was more important to obey God than people. Obeying those in authority gives way to obeying the authority, the author of life. The disciples did not at first know it was Jesus on the shore. It was only after the huge haul of fish that they knew “it was the Lord.” Coming to recognize Jesus evolves. Growth, development, relationship all take time. During this Easter season, let us pray for one another that we will come to know Jesus more and more each day. Let us pray that our faith will move to action as it did for the disciples and then we, too, will make a difference in our world. 
Tercer Domingo de Pascua "Hay que obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres." - Hechos, 5 - Bíblia Católica Online "12.Has trocado mi lamento en una danza" - Salmos, 30 - Bíblia Católica Online . . . "y los Ancianos se postraron para adorar" - Apocalipsis, 5 - Bíblia Católica Online "Ninguno de los discípulos se atrevía a preguntarle: «¿Quién eres tú?», sabiendo que era el Señor." - Juan, 21 - Bíblia Católica Online Pedro y los apóstoles sabían que era más importante obedecer a Dios que a las personas. Obedecer a los que tienen autoridad da paso a obedecer a la autoridad, al autor de la vida. Los discípulos no supieron al principio que era Jesús en la orilla. Fue solo después de la gran redada de peces que supieron que "era el Señor". Llegar a reconocer a Jesús, nos hace evolucionar. El crecimiento, el desarrollo, la relación, todo lleva tiempo. Durante este tiempo de Pascua, oremos los unos por los otros para llegar a conocer a Jesús más y más cada día. Oremos para que nuestra fe se mueva a la acción como lo hizo con los discípulos y entonces nosotros también marquemos una diferencia en nuestro mundo. ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION by: St. Alphonsus Liguori 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. PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF MASS - COVID-19

Gospel Meditation
On Sunday, May 15, Pope Francis will canonize Blessed Charles de Foucauld, a French priest who lived his last years among the poor in Morroco. At the age of six he was orphaned and soon rejected his Catholic faith, living a life of decadence. He became a calvary soldier in North Africa and later became a renowned explorer of the desert regions of Morroco. Seeing the faith of the Muslims, he was impressed and began to repeat this prayer: “My God, if you exist, let me come to know you.” A visit to the Holy Land confirmed his faith, and he became a priest, then a monk, then a missionary and a hermit among the poor in Morroco. His spirituality of the “life of Nazareth” has inspired the creation of the “Spiritual Family of Charles de Foucauld” and also an international network of support groups for priests called “Iesu Caritas.”
The miracle required for canonization occurred on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his death. A worker whose name was also Charles fell fifty feet from the ceiling of a church in Saumur, France. He was impaled by a piece of wood from a pew which passed through his abdomen just below his heart. Miraculously he got up and walked fifty yards to report his accident. A helicopter arrived but Charles could not be put into it because of the piece of wood that was still passing through his body, and so he was taken to the hospital by ambulance, which took an additional 45 minutes. The manager of the construction company felt an urge to offer prayers for his employee, and he contacted his parish, which coincidentally was named after Charles de Foucauld. He was told that the parishioners had been praying for a full year for the canonization of Charles de Foucauld and that they had just finished praying a novena in preparation for the celebration of the centenary of his death, which was to be held in the parish on the following day. On that day, hundreds of parishioners prayed and they received the news that surgeons had successfully removed the piece of wood, and that Charles would fully recover. In 1984, there was also another miracle that has been attributed to the intercession of Charles de Foucauld: Giovanna Citeri Pulici, an Italian from Milan was cured of bone cancer. This miracle led to the beatification of Charles de Foucauld in 2005. Blessed Charles de Foucauld had spent years a missionary helping poor people in Morocco who were not Christian. It is significant that this miracle was performed for a man who was not a believer. All are welcome to come to hear a talk about the Life of Blessed Charles de Foucauld on Saturday, May 14, 10-11:00 am, in the Gathering Space of Religious Education building to learn about the life of Bl. Charles de Foucauld (who will be canonized by Pope Francis on May 15).
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO El Domingo 15 de Mayo, el Papa Francisco canonizará al Beato Carlos de Foucauld, un sacerdote francés que vivió sus últimos años entre los pobres de Marruecos. A la edad de seis años quedó huérfano y pronto rechazó su fe Católica, viviendo una vida de decadencia. Llegó a ser soldado de caballería en el norte de África y más tarde se convirtió en un renombrado explorador de las regiones desérticas de Marruecos. Al ver la fe de los musulmanes, quedó impresionado y comenzó a repetir esta oración: “Dios mío, si existes, déjame llegar a conocerte”. Una visita a Tierra Santa confirmó su fe, y se hizo sacerdote, luego monje, luego misionero y ermitaño entre los pobres de Marruecos. Su espiritualidad de la “vida de Nazaret” ha inspirado la creación de la “Familia Espiritual de Carlos de Foucauld” y también una red internacional de grupos de apoyo a los sacerdotes llamada “Iesu Caritas”. El milagro requerido para la canonización se produjo con motivo del centenario de su muerte. Un trabajador cuyo nombre también era Charles cayó quince metros desde el techo de una iglesia en Saumur, Francia. Fue atravesado por un trozo de madera de un banco que le atravesó el abdomen justo debajo del corazón. Milagrosamente se levantó y caminó cincuenta metros para reportar su accidente. Llegó un helicóptero, pero Charles no pudo subirse a él debido al trozo de madera que aún estaba atravesando su cuerpo, por lo que lo llevaron al hospital en ambulancia, lo que tomó 45 minutos adicionales. El gerente de la empresa constructora sintió la urgencia de ofrecer oraciones por su empleado y se puso en contacto con su parroquia, que casualmente lleva el nombre de Charles de Foucauld. Le dijeron que los feligreses habían estado rezando durante un año completo por la canonización de Charles de Foucauld y que acababan de terminar de rezar una novena en preparación para la celebración del centenario de su muerte, que se celebraría en la parroquia el al día siguiente. Ese día, cientos de feligreses oraron y recibieron la noticia de que los cirujanos habían retirado con éxito la pieza de madera y que Charles se recuperaría por completo. El Beato Carlos de Foucauld había sido misionero durante años ayudando a los pobres de Marruecos que no eran cristianos. Es significativo que este milagro se haya realizado para un hombre que no era creyente. En 1984, también se produjo otro milagro que se ha atribuido a la intercesión de Charles de Foucauld: Giovanna Citeri Pulici, una italiana de Milán, se curó de un cáncer de huesos. Este milagro condujo a la beatificación de Charles de Foucauld en 2005. Todos están invitados a venir a escuchar una charla sobre la vida del Beato Carlos de Foucauld el Sábado 14 de Mayo, de 10 a 11:00 a. m., en el Gathering Space de Centro Juvenil para aprender sobre la vida del Beato Carlos de Foucauld. Charles de Foucauld (que será canonizado por el Papa Francisco el 15 de Mayo). PrayerspRAYER FOR THE sICK

3rd Sunday of Easter
“. . . Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time, ‘Do you love me?’ and he said to him, ‘Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Feed my sheep.’” - John 21:17
How often do you actually say the words “I love you” to Jesus, to family members, or to friends? We are made to be in relationship with God and each other. Sincerely telling someone that you love them is the best gift you can give them because it comes from your heart. You are giving them the gift of yourself. We all crave love. Tell someone you love them every day.

3° Domingo de Pascua
“Jesús les dijo nuevamente, ‘La paz sea con ustedes . Como el Padre me ha enviado, así los envío yo’”. Juan 20:21
La paz - el primer don del Señor resucitado. Así como Jesús envió a los discípulos al mundo, así también nos envía a nosotros. Como discípulos de Jesús, somos llamados a ser compasivos y misericordiosos; no sólo con nuestros amigos sino también con nuestros “enemigos”. Piense de alguien en su vida con quien necesite reconciliarse. Llámelo inmediatamente o mejor aún, vaya a visitarlo.

Sharing the Gospel
After Jesus rose from the dead, he must have looked very different. Jesus helped his apostles catch a lot of fish, just as he had done before. Jesus invited his friends to eat with him, and he still broke his bread to share it in the same way he always had. The disciples still recognized Jesus by the things he did.
Prayer
Dear God, help me to always recognize Jesus.
Something to Draw
Draw a picture of Jesus cooking fish for his friends.
Mission for the Week
Invite a friend over to eat dinner with your family, so you can share food just like Jesus did.

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
-St. Alphonsus Liguori

St. Pedro poveda castroverde
1874-1936
Canonized: May 4
Watch “Saint Pedro Poveda: Priest, Educator, and Martyr, on FORMED to learn more about our saint of the week.
This biographical drama tells the true story of Pedro Poveda, a tenacious and innovative priest who opened new paths in education and pioneered the rights of women in the early twentieth century. A victim of intolerance, he was murdered at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. In 1974, he was awarded the title of "Educator and Humanist" by UNESCO and was canonized a saint by Pope John Paul II in 2003.
Poveda's success in educating and promoting poor illiterate children living in the Caves of Guadix in Southern Spain received staunch opposition. He had to move to Covadonga, in the Northern mountains. There, with the help of young women, he started a new Christian movement focused on educational opportunities for women, which became the Teresian Association that continues his work today. For its development and growth, he relied on young Pepita Segovia, one of the first women of her time to receive a university degree in education.
Poveda continued his work in spite of the social and political turmoil that intensified in the beginning of the thirties and escalated into a civil war. Caught in the middle of the conflict, Poveda, a man of peace and dialogue, gave his life for his faith, leaving behind a legacy of light and hope.

San Pedro Poveda Castroverde
1874-1936
Canonizado: 4 de Mayo
Ver “San Pedro Poveda: Sacerdote, educador y mártir” en FORMED para aprender más sobre nuestro santo de la semana.
Este drama biográfico nos cuenta la verdadera historia de Pedro Poveda, un sacerdote innovador y tenaz que abrió nuevos caminos para la educación y fue pionero en la lucha por los derechos de las mujeres en el siglo XX. Fue asesinado a los inicios de la guerra civil española, víctima de la intolerancia y la incomprensión. En 1974, la UNESCO le otorgo el título de “Educador y Humanista” y fue canonizado por San Juan Pablo II en el 2003.
El éxito de Poveda, educando y promoviendo a niños analfabetas pobres que vivían en las cuevas de Guadix, en el sur de España, fue recibido con gran oposición. De hecho, tuvo que mudarse a Covadonga, en las montañas del norte. Ahí, con la ayuda de algunas mujeres jóvenes, que a la postre se convertirían en las Teresianas, comenzó un movimiento nuevo, centrado en promover oportunidades educativas para las mujeres. Para lograrlo, colaboró con Pepita Segovia, una de las primeras mujeres en obtener un título universitario.
Poveda no abandonó su trabajo a pesar de los conflictos sociales y políticos a los principios de los treintas, que desencadenaron en la guerra civil española. Atrapado en medio del conflicto, Pedro Poveda, un hombre de paz y diálogo, dio su vida por su fe y dejo un legado de luz y esperanza.

The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”
