June 2,2019 -

Seventh Sunday of Easter

Dear brothers and sisters,

CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!

Jesus is praying for us so that we might know the love of the Father. It is a powerful image; Jesus Christ wants us in the Father so that we can all be one with God. The goal of our life should be to be one with God so that we can reach the peace, happi-ness, joy that God has prepared since the beginning of the world for us. For this reason, it is fundamental that we rebuild the Church in every generation. St. Francis of Assisi received this call and rebuilt the Church even physically. Our patron Saint Francis de Sales was called to be the bishop of Geneva, Switzerland, just after the Calvinist uprising and he was sent to rebuild the Church. What does re-build the Church means. It means that we allow to shine through us, who are the Church, the love of the Father to every person in the world. How can we allow this to happen, by converting (every day we need to recognize that we are not fully Christlike) and turning to the Lord so that we may be light for the World as the Second Vatican Council invites the Church to be. Thus, if you see that your prima-ry goal is not to be one with God, then you are invited to convert and to turn to the Lord. As we read on Thursday on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord … seek the things that are above where Christ our head is.

Next week we will have on Sunday 7:30 AM Mass and then 10:30 AM Trilingual for the first Mass of Fr. Cesar Chen. We are all invited to participate. This week our altar servers are doing a bake sale, let us support them as we are trying to send them to Camp Hope in the summer.

Saint Francis de Sales Pray for Us!

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

¡CRISTO HA RESUCITADO! ¡VERDADERAMENTE HA RESUCITADO!

Jesús está orando por nosotros para que podamos conocer el amor del Padre. Es una imagen poderosa; Jesucristo nos quiere en el Pa-dre para que todos podamos ser uno con Dios. El objetivo de nuestra vida debe ser ser uno con Dios para que podamos alcanzar la paz, la felicidad, la alegría que Dios ha preparado desde el principio del mundo para nosotros. Por esta razón, es fundamental que recons-truyamos la Iglesia en cada generación. San Francisco de Asís recibió este llamado y reconstruyó la Iglesia, incluso físicamente. Nuestro patrón, San Francisco de Sales, fue llamado a ser obispo de Ginebra, Suiza, justo después del levantamiento calvinista y fue enviado a reconstruir la Iglesia. ¿Qué significa reconstruir la Iglesia? Significa que permitimos que brille a través de nosotros, quienes somos la Iglesia, el amor del Padre a cada persona en el mundo. Cómo podemos permitir que esto suceda, convirtiéndonos (todos los días tene-mos que reconocer que no somos completamente como Cristo) y recurrir al Señor para que podamos ser luz para el mundo como el Concilio Vaticano II invita a la Iglesia a ser. Por lo tanto, si ves que tu objetivo principal no es ser uno con Dios, entonces estás invitado a convertirte y convertirte en el Señor. Mientras leemos el jueves en la Solemnidad de la Ascensión del Señor ... busque las cosas que están por encima de donde está Cristo nuestra cabeza.

La próxima semana tendremos el domingo 7:30 a.m. Misa y luego 10:30 a.m. trilingüe para la primera misa del Padre. Cesar Chen. To-dos estamos invitados a participar. Esta semana nuestros servidores del altar están haciendo una venta de pasteles, permítanos apo-yarlos ya que estamos tratando de enviarlos a Camp Hope en el verano.

San Francisco de Sales ¡Ruega por nosotros!

Queridos irmãos e irmãs,

CRISTO RESSUSCITOU! ELE ESTÁ REALMENTE RESSUSCITADO!

Jesus está orando por nós para que possamos conhecer o amor do Pai. É uma imagem poderosa; Jesus Cristo nos quer no Pai para que todos possamos ser um com Deus. O objetivo da nossa vida deve ser o de ser um com Deus para que possamos alcançar a paz, felicidade e alegria que Deus preparou desde o começo do mundo para nós. Por isso, é fundamental que reconstruamos a Igreja em todas as gerações. São Francisco de Assis recebeu esse chamado e reconstruiu a Igreja fisicamente. Nosso padroeiro, São Francisco de Sales, foi chamado para ser o bispo de Genebra, na Suíça, logo após a revolta calvinista e foi enviado para reconstruir a Igreja. O que reconstruir a Igreja significa. Significa que permitimos brilhar através de nós, que somos a Igreja, o amor do Pai a todas as pessoas do mundo. Como podemos permitir que isso aconteça, convertendo (todos os dias precisamos reconhecer que não somos totalmente semelhantes a Cristo) e nos voltando ao Senhor para que possamos ser luz para o mundo como o Concílio Vaticano II convida a Igreja a ser. Assim, se você vê que seu principal objetivo não é ser um com Deus, então você é convidado a se converter e a se voltar para o Senhor. Como lemos na quinta-feira na Solenidade da Ascensão do Senhor ... busque as coisas que estão acima de onde Cristo está nossa cabeça.

“Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the

church, and they should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the

name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will save the sick person, and

the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be for-

given. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one an-

other, that you may be healed. The fervent prayer of a righteous person

is very powerful.” James 5:14-16

Bishop's Weekly Bible Reflection on Stewardship June 2,2019

“I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning

and the end.”

This is a reminder of how we should live our lives 24 hours a day ,

7days a week-putting God first in all that we do. Not only when I am

at Mass and parish activities, but when I am in the world, at work or

at school. Living gratefully and generously is a lifestyle; it should

influence how I make all my daily decisions
