Church of the Incarnation Our parish community welcomed the following adults and children into our Church through the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil Mass this year. After a process of discerning, conversion and learning our faith they are now fully initiated members of our Church. The newly baptized are now known as “neophytes� and we continue to gather with them for a while as they begin to put their faith into action in our parish life.

THE RISEN CHRIST In this Sunday's first reading and Gospel we see Peter and the other disciples in action after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. On trial, they refused to stop teaching in Jesus' name, and they rejoiced at the opportunity to suffer for their beliefs. On the lake and its shore, face to face with the Risen Lord, they obeyed his directions and recognized him as he once again ate a meal with them. There are so many human and almost homey touches in these readings! The high priest in the first scene sounds as if he is scolding naughty students. There is an order to stop speaking in Jesus' name, but it is evident everyone knows they will disobey again. And on the lake shore, we can imagine Peter's excitement as he strides out of the water and is greeted by Jesus, who grins and says, "Come, have breakfast." The second reading, on the other hand, is anything but homey. In this passage from Revelation, John describes a scene in which the same Lord who fed his friends breakfast here receives honor and glory from everything in the universe. Copyright (c) J. S.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The RCIA Core team thanks our Pastor Fr. Michael, Fr. Clement, Fr. Jairo, Deacon Frank and everyone in our parish who prayed, welcomed and were witnesses of our Catholic faith to these families. We also want to thank the following: Mrs. Rae Stabile and friends for hosting a wonderful reception afterwards; Mrs. Karen Artino and friends who were prayer sponsors for the group; Mr. Ivan Reynolds for hand making the wood crosses for each candidate and Music Directors, Cal Leferink and David Funes for their support in liturgy. Lastly, a special thanks to the RCIA team of sponsors and catechists in the English and Spanish communities who prayed for, taught and shared their faith weekly with these families. 2|
The Gospel today sees Peter and his colleagues after the Resurrection, returning to Galilee and resuming the family business. They are fishing by night. Although it is true that fish feed by night, the mention of darkness here is more about the human spirit than it is about fishing advice. Modern life keeps darkness effectively under control; much of the world has been glowing radiantly through the night for a century. Yet just as surely as the Risen Christ breaks into Peter's fishing, so does he break into the usual patterns of our own darkness, electric lights notwithstanding. It is Easter, and we are the people of the light. In our tradition, Evening Prayer, celebrated in monasteries, parishes, cathedrals, and homes everywhere, is a kind of solemn protest against the darkness and its claims, an act of praise for our light-bearing God, and a commitment to carrying that light forward. Sunset is a turning point of our day, felt less acutely in an electrified world, but still an effective reminder that one day darkness overtakes us all. Yet our Eastering has taught us in a hundred ways that the victory belongs to the Bearer of Light. Easter summons us to transform our everyday "blackouts," perhaps in a way as simple as a whispered prayer of thanks at evening for the blessings of the day. --James Field, Copyright (c) J. S.

During my Creating Inner Balance to De-Stress Your Life workshop, you’ll discover the key to trusting your feminine intuition to help you de-stress. You’ll experience three methods to instantly relieve the pressure and ease the tension to find your inner balance. You’ll acquire the tools to break out of your usual habits to effortlessly “rewrite the rules” of your life so they work for you (and for those around you). Led by Bonnie Snyder, Ed.S., CPC, DCEP.

Help build up the future of our Catholic Church with your gift to the 2013 Annual Pastoral Appeal
Cuarto Domingo de Pascua 21 de abril de 2013 “Yo te he puesto como luz de los paganos, para que lleves la salvación hasta los últimos rincones de la tierra”. — Hechos 13:47b Domingo 21 de Abril. Cuarto Domingo de Pascua. Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios. Una de las experiencias que más intensamente vivimos es la de no bastarnos a nosotros mismos, de sentir la necesidad de sabernos acogidos por otras personas o por algún grupo humano. El niño no podría sobrevivir sin ser acogido en el seno de la familia; y el adulto, puede aspirar a una vida en plenitud, cuando se sabe integrado afectiva y socialmente en un grupo. En definitiva, todos sentimos vivamente la necesidad de ser reconocidos y valorados por los demás, de que se cuente con nosotros, y de ser llamados, dentro del grupo, para ejercer alguna función que nos permita sentirnos útiles. Esperamos, finalmente, dentro del grupo, ser guiados, orientados, protegidos, reunidos. Es lo que Jesús pretendió al crear la comunidad de los creyentes. Él es el Buen Pastor resucitado, que preside y guía su comunidad, a la que llamó entrañablemente su rebaño: Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz, y yo las conozco, y ellas me siguen, y yo les doy la vida eterna; no perecerán para siempre, y nadie las arrebatará de mi mano. ¡Qué bello y alentador es escuchar estas palabras de boca de Jesús, creer de verdad en ellas y vivir a fondo la presencia escondida del Buen Pastor! Porque Jesús resucitado está presente en medio de la comunidad, cumpliendo fielmente lo que había prometido a sus amigos: Yo estaré con ustedes siempre, hasta al fin de los tiempos. O aquella otra promesa: Dondequiera que dos o tres se reúnan en mi nombre, yo estaré presente en medio de ellos. De esta manera Jesús obra eficazmente en nosotros por medio de su Espíritu: nos llama, nos acoge, nos reúne, nos orienta y nos guía, porque nos ama y nos valora. Valemos más que todo a sus ojos y no está dispuesto a perdernos, ni permitirá que ninguno nos arrebate de sus manos. Todos necesitamos algún guía en nuestra vida; muchas personas se han perdido en la infelicidad por no haber encontrado a nadie que le proponga caminos eficaces de superación. Jesús es nuestro guía definitivo. El rebaño es la Iglesia de Cristo y este rebaño se encuentra amenazado por un doble peligro: desde el exterior, con los ladrones, los lobos. Pero también desde el propio interior por los falsos pastores. La Iglesia no es un grupo de amigos que se han reunido para disfrutar de logros espirituales. Ser Iglesia es responder a la llamada del Pastor y caminar juntos en el mismo rebaño espiritual. Atender a las indicaciones del pastor es saber que el camino que tenemos por delante ya ha sido transitado por Aquel que nos guía.
Legión de María La Legión de María tiene como fin la gloria de Dios por medio de la santificación personal de sus propios miembros mediante la oración y la colaboración activa, bajo la dirección de la Jerarquía, a la obra de la Iglesia y de María: aplastar la cabeza de la serpiente infernal y ensanchar las fronteras del reinado de Cristo. ¿Quiénes pueden pertenecer? Todo Católico que practique fielmente su religión y desee ser útil a la Iglesia y a la sociedad, y que esté dispuesto a cumplir las normas funcionales de la asociación. Todos están invitados a formar parte de la Legión de María todos los sábados a las 9:30am en el salón St. Francis 2. Para más información llamar a Azucena Zavala al 813-410-5737 o María E. Rodríguez al 813-884-5638.
DIALOGO MATRIMONIAL “MDS” Hoy más que nunca necesitamos familias que den testimonio de luchar por vivir valores Cristianos: Perdón, Respeto, Comunicación, Confianza, Solidaridad, Caridad….. Te invitamos a que compartas con nosotros, todos los viernes a las 7:30 p.m. en el Salón St. Francis, para que juntos luchemos por cambiar las actitudes que dañan la relación con nuestra pareja, con nuestros hijos y con los demás; y así tratar de ser el mejor matrimonio que se pueda ser. “No es necesario cambiar de Pareja, sino de actitud”. Para más información llamar a: Dante y Lecy Sánchez al 813787-0738 y 813-850-4526 o Werther y Tomasina Taylor al 813598-5216 y 813-598-5226.
P. Jairo
Para Reflexionar Bienaventuranzas de las Buenas Costumbres Feliz el que llega a tiempo antes de la celebración de la Eucaristía, porque predispone su corazón a Dios.
Feliz el que apaga el celular antes de entrar al Templo, porque respeta al que de verdad hace oración.
Feliz el que sabe hacer silencio en un lugar sagrado, porque escucha a Dios.
Feliz el que no come golosinas ni mastica chicle en el Templo, porque saboreará al Señor.
¿DESEAS SER BAUTIZADO CATÓLICO?

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA
EL BUEN PASTOR El Buen Pastor no sólo nos conoce sino que da su vida por nosotros. Le pertenecemos. Su vida es la fuente de nuestra vida. Una parte de esta relación es firme –la parte de Dios. El Padre nos ha confiado al Hijo, y el Hijo no nos soltará la mano. La otra parte de esa relación depende de nosotros, por supuesto. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús asume que aceptamos su voluntad con el corazón abierto. “Mis ovejas oyen mi voz… y me siguen”. Este oír y seguir es una tarea diaria que implica responsabilidad. Tomemos por ejemplo a Pablo y a Bernabé. Ambos estaban convencidos de que la salvación era también para aquellos miembros del rebaño que aún no conocían el poder salvador de Dios. Los gentiles eran las ovejas que el Pastor conocía. Pablo pudo finalmente ver que ahora era el momento oportuno para ellos conocer al Pastor. Ahora el círculo se cerraría. Finalmente, aquellos a quienes el Dios de Jesús conocía y amaba, podrían conocer y seguir al Dios de Jesús. Nunca habrá un último capítulo en esta historia de salvación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
