Santo Damián de Molokai - Fiesta el 10 de Mayo

Damián, el hermano de nuestro viaje feliz y generoso misionero que amaba el evangelio más que su propia vida, que por el amor de Jesús dejo a su familia, su patria, su seguridad y sus sueños.

Enséñanos a dar la vida con alegría como la suya, ser ayudantes con los más necesitados de nuestro mundo, para celebrar y contemplar la Eucaristía como fuente de nuestro propio compromiso.

Ayúdanos a amar hasta el final y con la fuerza del Espíritu, para conservar en la compasión por los pobres y olvidados, para poder ser buenos discípulos de Jesús y María.

Amén.

Saint Damien of Molokai - Feast Day May 10

Damien, Brother on our journey, happy and generous missionary who loved the Gospel more than your own life, who for love of Jesus left your family, your homeland, your security and your dreams.

Teach us to give our lives with a joy like yours, to be helpers with the needy of our world, to celebrate and contemplate the Eucharist as the source of our own commitment.

Help us to love to the very end and, in the strength of the Spirit, to persevere in compassion for the poor and forgotten, so that we might be good disciples of Jesus and Mary.

Amen.

Stewardship Prayer

My Parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is.

It will be holy, if I am.

Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.

It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.

It will bring others into worship, if I invite and bring them in.

Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be.

Amen.

6th Sunday of Easter . "I have called you friends." Authentic friendship can seem hard to come by these days,

especially in our transient society. We move away from family, change jobs, switch parishes,

and end up in entirely new places with entirely new people. When we look for new friends,

we all have different qualities we're looking for. While we may think of certain standards of

behavior necessary to be a "good" friend, we would hardly refer to them as rules or

"commandments."

In fact, if a friendship or romantic relationship-new or old-becomes characterized by

imposed obligations, we would rightly be suspicious. Friendships, we understand, ought to

be characterized by freedom. We love the person, even sacrifice for them at times because,

within ourselves, we want to maintain the friendship. So why does Jesus use the language of

command as he calls the Apostles his friends? "You are my friends if you do what I

c o m m a n d y o u . " .

Jesus is radically transforming the concept of commandment. In the Jewish heritage of the

Apostles, they would hear the word "command" and immediately think of the strict Levitical

law and distance from God. In introducing the language of friendship, Jesus ties

"commandment" to inner freedom of heart. The disciples have this freedom precisely

because they know "what [the] Master is doing." Jesus has invited his followers into intimate

friendship all along. He shares openly with them. He has patience with their flaws. He isn't

scandalized by their failures. He celebrates their successes. We, too, have been called by

love and invited into a relationship with Jesus. It is you and I that Jesus chooses and

appoints. He does so personally, not from a distant mountain shrouded in clouds. This "new

commandment" to "love one another" is received around the shared table in the breaking of

the bread.
