Fifth Sunday of Easter May 6, 2012 Let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. — 1 John 3:18
BEARING FRUIT Few of us, even when we meditate on the image of the vine and branches, stop to really think about how God “prunes” us. For some there is the danger of thinking that we are already producing fruit for the kingdom, in deed and truth as John says, perhaps raising a family, being active in our parish, and so on. But even those branches which are bearing fruit, the Gospel tells us, can be pruned to produce still more. Today Saul, freshly “pruned” by his conversion, arrives in Jerusalem and meets resistance. Since he had been persecuting Christians, this was only natural. But even after he is accepted and begins to bear fruit, he meets further adversity, and his letters are filled with many accounts of how his trials “pruned” him to produce greater fruit for the kingdom. Like him, as long as we remain in Christ we will continue to bear fruit and, when the will of the Father determines it is time to prune us, the strength of the true vine must enable us to endure it.

It is named after the Roman goddess Maia, said to be the mother of Hermes, or Mercury. The Romans saw it as “love’s month,” while in England, more practical farmers called it “Three Milks,” since the cows grazing on springtime’s bounty could produce at a phenomenal rate. Old customs die hard, and Christians have never made peace with Maytime frolics. No wonder that popular tradition dedicated the month’s prayers and devotions to Mary, although we cannot lose sight of the fact that the liturgy always has Easter at the center of celebration. Recent developments have enriched Mary’s place in a cycle of feast days woven through the whole year, dedicated Saturday as a weekly day for devotion, and highlighted Mary’s role in the Advent story. In fact, every day of the year Evening Prayer centers on the singing of Mary’s Canticle of Praise. The fifty days of Easter culminate on Pentecost with Mary, present of course for Christ’s birth, waiting in the upper room for the birth of the church. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK May 6, 2012, Fifth Sunday of Easter Almighty ever-living God, constantly accomplish the Paschal Mystery within us, that those you were pleased to make new in Holy Baptism may, under your protective care, bear much fruit and come to the joys of life eternal. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Mary at Mass by Paul Turner Devotion to Mary remains a hallmark of the Catholic faith. Some people unfamiliar with our religion assume that prayer to Mary forms the backbone of the Mass. Wrong! Prayer to Mary is certainly the backbone of the rosary, but there isn’t a single prayer addressed to Mary in the entire Mass, front to back, on any day of the liturgical year. When it comes to prayer, we acknowledge Hebrews 7:25, which says Christ lives for ever to make intercession for us. So we direct our prayers to God through Christ. However, because of Mary’s central role in salvation history, she makes several appearances in the texts at every Mass, every day of the liturgical year. Most important, Mary’s name is pronounced right in the heart of Mass in the eucharistic prayer. She is called by two titles made mystic by their juxtaposition: virgin and mother. In the second eucharistic prayer for children, she is also called “Mother of God and our mother.” Mary also appears in the Creed, as the virgin who gave birth to the Word made flesh. At times we celebrate a Mass in her honor, under a title like Mary, Mother of the Church, or to commemorate an event in her life, like the Visitation. A preface often prayed on these days echoes her song of praise, the Magnificat. But most frequently she is remembered as the Virgin Mother. By connecting these two titles of Mary, the church invites us to reflect on her son. Mary’s special role as the Virgin Mother reminds us that the miraculous birth of Jesus introduced the world to an extraordinary child whose miracles would never cease. At first, the title “Mother of God” sounds wrong. God is the uncreated creator of all. How could God have a mother? That puzzling question draws us into a deeper meditation on the identity of Jesus. Because Jesus is both fully God and fully human, Mary must be called Mother of God. In the liturgy Mary’s role always bows to her son. She gives birth to him not only in time but in the liturgy and in our hearts. During the month of May, many will address devotions to Mary, and rightly so. But she will direct them to Christ.

Using a recovery study guide, we look to God and what He promises us; healing and wholeness can return. Through a group process we will look at: realizing we need healing, acknowledging the abortion – breaking the shame, forgiveness, accepting God’s grace, allowing yourself to grieve, self-reconciliation, relationships and ongoing healing. H.E.A.R.T. groups are being held in the Lutz/North Tampa area. Both women and men can attend. The next groups are forming and will start very shortly. Location, dates and times are provided to registered participants only.

Quinto Domingo de Pascua 6 de mayo de 2012 No amemos solamente de palabra; amemos de verdad y con las obras. — 1 Juan 3:18
MAYO: MES DE MARÍA Mayo es el mes de las flores, de la primavera. Muchas familias esperan este mes para celebrar la fiesta por la recepción de algún sacramento de un familiar. También, Mayo es el mes en el que todos recuerdan a su mamá (el famoso 10 de Mayo) y las flores son el regalo más frecuente de los hijos para agasajar a quien les dio la vida. Por otro lado, todos saben que este mes es el ideal para estar al aire libre, rodeado de la belleza natural de nuestros campos. Precisamente por esto, porque todo lo que nos rodea de la belleza natural nos debe recordar a nuestro Creador, este mes se lo dedicamos a la más delicada de todas sus creaturas: la santísima Virgen María, alma delicada que ofreció su vida al cuidado y servicio de Jesucristo, nuestro redentor. Celebremos, invitando a nuestras fiestas a María, nuestra dulce madre del Cielo.
¿Qué se acostumbra hacer este mes?
Ofrecimiento de flores a la Virgen Este es el mejor regalo que podemos hacerle a la Virgen. Regalar flores es una manera que tenemos las personas para decirle a alguien que la queremos mucho. A la Virgen le gusta que le llevemos flores.
CÁLIZ VIAJERO Si usted y su familia están interesados en llevar el Cáliz Vocacional a sus hogares por una semana y orar a Dios por más Sacerdotes, Monjas y Diáconos, por favor póngase en contacto con Rosa Genao al número 813-855-3260.

Vivir una devoción real y verdadera a María Se trata de que nos esforcemos por vivir como hijos suyos. Esto significa: a. Mirar a María como una Madre: Platicarle todo lo que nos pasa: lo bueno y lo malo. Saber acudir a ella en todo momento. b. Demostrarle nuestro cariño: Hacer lo que ella espera de nosotros y recordarla a lo largo del día. c. Confiar plenamente en ella: Todas las gracias que Jesús nos da, pasan por las manos de María, y es ella quien intercede ante su Hijo por nuestras dificultades. d. Imitar sus virtudes: Esta es la mejor manera de demostrarle nuestro amor.

Recordar y honrar a María como Madre de todos los hombres. María nos cuida siempre y nos ayuda en todo lo que necesitemos. Ella nos ayuda a vencer la tentación y conservar el estado de gracia y la amistad con Dios para poder llegar al Cielo. María es la Madre de la Iglesia. Reflexionar en las principales virtudes de la Virgen María. María era una mujer de profunda vida de oración, vivía siempre cerca de Dios. Era una mujer humilde, es decir, sencilla; era generosa, se olvidaba de sí misma para darse a los demás; tenía gran caridad, amaba y ayudaba a todos por igual; era servicial, atendía a José y a Jesús con amor; vivía con alegría; era paciente con su familia; sabía aceptar la voluntad de Dios en su vida. Rezar en familia las oraciones especialmente dedicadas a María. La Iglesia nos ofrece bellas oraciones como la del Ángelus (que se acostumbra rezar a mediodía), el Regina Caeli, La Consagración a María, y el Santo Rosario. ©www.catholic.net

DEN FRUTOS Pocos de nosotros, incluso cuando meditamos sobre la imagen de la vid y los sarmientos, nos detenemos a pensar realmente acerca de cómo Dios nos “poda”. Para algunos, existe el peligro de pensar que ya estamos produciendo frutos para el reino, de verdad y con hechos como dice Juan, tal vez criando una familia, siendo activos en nuestra parroquia y así. Pero incluso aquellas ramas que están dando sus frutos, nos dice el Evangelio, se pueden podar para producir aún más. Hoy Saulo, recién “podado” por su conversión, llega a Jerusalén y encuentra resistencia. Ya que había estado persiguiendo a los cristianos, esto era natural. Pero incluso después de que lo aceptan y comienza a dar frutos, se encuentra con más adversidad, y sus cartas están llenas de muchos relatos de cómo sus pruebas eran “podas” para que produjera más frutos para el Reino. Al igual que él, siempre y cuando permanezcamos en Cristo, vamos a seguir dando frutos y, cuando la voluntad del Padre, determine que es hora de que nos pode, la fuerza de la vid verdadera deberá permitirnos soportarlo.Copyright © J.
