GRADES PRE-K - 5TH
I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT IN YOU THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE The scriptures this weekend are rich with the theme that God brings the dead to life. God has made us all to share life with Him, and so all humans have rights and responsibilities to the basic goods of the earth. In Kenya and elsewhere, Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl helps people receive the basic right of an education. This is the LAST week for Rice Bowls they need to be turned into the Faith Formation Office on the 17th.

Fifth Sunday of Lent
April 10, 2011
Fifth Sunday of Lent April 10, 2011 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; LORD, hear my voice! — Psalm 130:1 GIVE GLORY TO GOD On the Fifth Sunday of Lent, just before we begin to enter Holy Week, we are summoned to Bethany. If we had been friends of Mary, Lazarus, and Martha, and found out that Lazarus was gravely ill, we probably would have dropped everything to be with them. This was what was so surprising about the behavior of Jesus. Although he was their close friend, he chose to stay away, that God’s glory would be manifested. This is a persistent theme in John’s Gospel. Right to the very end, Jesus’ works were meant to give glory to the Father. As our Lenten journey reaches a crescendo, let us be mindful that, as people who have “put on Christ” in baptism, we are also called, by our attitudes and actions, to give glory to God. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co. THE CRESCENDO OF JOHN'S GOSPEL The Gospel readings of the past several weeks form a sort of "crescendo" as they build in intensity toward the capstone of our Lenten season: Holy Week. Jesus tells the woman at the well the secrets of her life, secrets he could not, should not have known, and promises her the never-ending salvation of his living waters. The man blind from birth has light restored to his eyes, as Jesus the Light from Light overcomes the man's ailment as a sign of removing the sin that those around him believed was in him. Today Jesus answers Martha's critique of his late arrival by informing her that Lazarus has died for the same reason the man had been born blind: that God might be given glory for being the light and life of the world. We have been following the road to Jesus' destiny that John's Gospel has been tracing for us: to the place where the Father would be given the ultimate glory in his passion, death, and resurrection. LIVING IN THE LIGHT AND LIFE Sometimes we need Jesus to walk that same sort of road with us. We need him to see into our hearts and pry open for us those secrets that we try to keep from ourselves, from others, and from God. We think that a life situation, illness, or ailment is somehow a retribution for some wrong that we have done, and we must seek Jesus Christ to take us past that moment into a place of healing. And when death itself enters or touches our lives somehow, we are called upon to place our ultimate trust and faith in Jesus Christ alone. He can take our chiding for not making our lives tribulation-free; but beyond that he can weep with us as he wept at the tomb of Lazarus. He can be with us in the most woeful times of darkness and death, and transform them into God's glorious day of resurrected new life, for he died our very human death. When we-as Thomas says today-"go to die with him," filled with faith that he is Resurrection and Life, then we also-as we hear in the Letter to the Romans-will live and reign with him in everlasting glory. Today's Readings: Ezekiel 37:12-14; Psalm 130:1-8; Romans 8:8-11; John 11:1-45 [3-7, 17, 20-27, 33b-45] Copyright (c) 2007, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.

Next weekend, the IMMACULATE MARY QUEEN OF HEAVEN MISSIONARIES will be visiting Incarnation Church. They minister to women and children who are victims of prostitution and human trafficking in the Philippines. They rescue and rehabilitate them in their center called the “HOME OF LOVE”. These women and children undergo holistic programs such as physical, psychological, spiritual rehabilitation. When they are ready, they are given livelihood training or they are sent to school upon proper evaluation. They are given all the assistance they need until such time that they are ready to be re-integrated to society to live decent lives. They have a program on helping very poor children in the rural areas who are endangered of being lured into prostitution without help. These children are sent to school to protect them from recruiters who are targeting them. Sr. Ma. Corazon J. Salazar, IMQHM will be selling religious objects made by these women as well as the parents of the students and also CDs with original music by the sisters to support these projects.
The Bloodmobile is here this Sunday in our parking lot until 3pm. We are looking for lifesaving donors. That could be you! It’s fast and it’s easy.

PILDORITAS DE FE DEL PADRE DIEGO Cómo vivir la Cuaresma 1. Arrepintiéndome de mis pecados y confesándome Pensar en qué he ofendido a Dios, Nuestro Señor, si me duele haberlo ofendido, si realmente estoy arrepentido. Éste es un buen momento del año para llevar a cabo una confesión preparada y de corazón. Revisa los mandamientos de Dios y de la Iglesia para poder hacer una buena confesión. Ayúdate con un libro para estructurar tu confesión. Busca el tiempo para llevarlo a cabo. 2. Luchando por cambiar Analiza tu conducta para conocer en qué estás fallando. Hazte propósitos para cumplir día con día y revisa en la noche si lo lograste. Recuerda no ponerte demasiados porque te va a ser muy difícil cumplirlos todos. Hay que subir las escaleras de un escalón en un escalón, no se puede subir toda de un brinco. Conoce cuál es tu defecto dominante y haz un plan para luchar contra éste. Tu plan debe ser realista, práctico y concreto para poderlo cumplir. 3. Haciendo sacrificios La palabra sacrificio viene del latín sacrum-facere, que significa “hacer sagrado”. Entonces, hacer un sacrificio es hacer una cosa sagrada, es decir, ofrecerla a Dios por amor. Hacer sacrificio es ofrecer a Dios, porque lo amas, cosas que te cuestan trabajo. Por ejemplo, ser amable con el vecino que no te simpatiza o ayudar a otro en su trabajo. A cada uno de nosotros hay algo que nos cuesta trabajo hacer en la vida de todos los días. Si esto se los ofrecemos a Dios por amor, estamos haciendo sacrificio. 4. Haciendo oración Aprovecha estos días para orar, para platicar con Dios, para decirle que lo quieres y que quieres estar con Él. Te puedes ayudar de un buen libro de meditación para Cuaresma. ©Encuentra.com
7 de mayo, 2011
La recepción será en el Salón St. Michael después de la Misa de 4:30pm. Los boletos para la cena tienen un costo de $75.00 por persona. Esto incluye la cena, bebidas y entretenimiento. Hay un espacio limitado de asientos. Para reservar, por favor llame al 813-884-8326 tan pronto como sea posible. *Este es un evento para adultos solamente.

DA GLORIA A DIOS En el quinto domingo de Cuaresma, justo antes de entrar en la Semana Santa, somos llamados a Betania. Si hubiéramos sido amigos de María, Lázaro y Marta, y nos hubiéramos enterado que Lázaro estaba gravemente enfermo, probablemente lo habríamos dejado todo para estar con ellos. Eso es lo más sorprendente del comportamiento de Jesús. Pese a que era su amigo cercano, eligió mantenerse alejado, para que la gloria de Dios se manifestara. Este es un tema persistente en el Evangelio de Juan. Hasta el mismo final, las obras de Jesús son para dar gloria al Padre. A medida que nuestra jornada de Cuaresma llega a su apogeo, recordemos que, como personas que “se han revestido de Cristo” en el Bautismo, también somos llamados a dar gloria a Dios en nuestras actitudes y acciones. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
15 de abril ♦ San Pedro González Telmo Era de una familia distinguida española y gozaba de toda clase de privilegios. Fue ordenado sacerdote y recibió un cargo en una cuidad importante. Cuando entraba con todo honor y galas, el caballo tropezó y Pedro fue a dar al fango. La humillación lo hizo recapacitar, y decidió ir a un monasterio y dedicarse a la oración. ¿Alguna vez un contratiempo te ha obligado a volverte más a Dios?
