Fourth Sunday of Easter May 3, 2020 He himself bore our sins in his body upon the cross, so that, free from sin, we might live for righteousness. — 1 Peter 2:24a

TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION

The signing of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act has created a Universal Charitable Deduction of $300 for taxpayers. This is an “above-the-line” deduction, which

means it will be available to all taxpayers, not just those who itemize.

Example: A taxpayer who takes the standard deduction and makes a $300 cash gift (not stock) to a qualified charitable organization, like their parish, may claim the $300 deduction in computing his or

her adjusted gross income. The gift may be made at any time during the remainder of 2020. This deduction is in addition to the taxpayer’s standard deduction.

To make a gift to St. Jerome, visit: www.stjeromecatholic.org/give

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER

The following will be in effect at St. Jerome:

No public Masses during Coronavirus epidemic. Sunday Mass will be live streamed on Facebook, as follow:

4.-Donations to the parish are still needed and may be made online. Or mailed to or dropped off at the parish office.

IN NEED OF A SHEPHERD

For a while it was very fashionable to own pigs as pets. The publicity surrounding these creatures informed us that they were—contrary to their popular image—very clean animals, and also quite smart. Sad to say, sheep will most likely never enjoy this sort of domestic vogue. They are neither clean nor smart and are largely defenseless when left on their own, even in large numbers. The biblical image of us as the flock of sheep is not a particularly flattering one. Sheep without a shepherd are truly sad, because they most likely will perish either from their inability to fend for themselves or from their lack of defenses against predators.

Placing ourselves in the heart of this unflattering image can reinforce our faith. Until we come to a profound realization of how much we need a shepherd, we cannot appreciate how deeply blessed we are to have been given a Shepherd, one who laid down his life for us and was raised to life eternal in the Spirit, so he might guide us and we might follow him in faith forever.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA

Lo siguiente está vigente en San Jerónimo:

No hay misas públicas durante la epidemia del coronavirus. La misa dominical se transmitirá en vivo en Facebook de la siguiente manera: - Sábado, 4:00 pm en Inglés - Domingo, 8:30 am en Español 1.– La capilla estará cerrada a los visitantes. La Iglesia estará abierta todos los días (7 días de la semana) de 8:30 am - 5:00 pm para la oración privada. La entrada solo se realizará a través de tres puertas que estarán abiertas.

2.– Las confesiones se escucharán solo en el confesionario de la iglesia y en los horarios regulares o con cita previa. Lunes a jueves (8:30–8:55 am), sábado (3:00-3:30pm), domingo, (11:15-11:45 am.) 3.- La oficina de la iglesia operará durante las horas regulares, pero las puertas estarán cerradas. Las llamadas serán contestadas durante las horas regulares y las llamadas de emergencia en cualquier momento. Se escuchan los mensajes que se dejan fuera de las horas regulares. Para hacer arreglos para dejar o recoger artículos en la oficina de la iglesia, use el buzón y llame al 443-3174. 4.– Todavía se necesitan sus donaciones para la parroquia y se pueden hacear en linea, o enviar por correo o dejarlo en la oficina de la parroquia.

SE NECESITA UN PASTOR Por un tiempo estuvo de moda tener cerdos como mascotas. La publicidad que rodeó a estas criaturas nos informó que, contrario a la imagen popular, son animales muy limpios y también bastante inteligentes. Resulta triste decirlo, pero las ovejas proba-blemente nunca gozarán de este tipo de popularidad doméstica. Ni limpias ni inteli-gentes, son mayormente indefensas cuando se dejan solas, aunque el rebaño sea numero-so. La imagen bíblica de que somos un rebaño de ovejas no resulta muy favorecedora. Triste es el caso de las ovejas sin pastor porque, sin duda, perecerán dada su incapacidad de valerse por sí mismas o su carencia de defensas contra sus predadores. Colocarnos al centro de esta imagen poco favorecedora puede fortalecer nuestra fe. Sólo cuando tomamos profunda conciencia de que necesitamos un pastor, podemos apreciar nuestras bendiciones al haber sido entregados al Pastor, a aquél que dio su vida por nosotros y fue resucitado para la vida eterna en el Espíritu, a fin de poder guiarnos por siempre mientras lo seguimos en fe.

DONACIÓN DEDUCIBLE DE IMPUESTOS

La firma de la Ley de Ayuda, Alivio y Seguridad Económica de Coronavirus (“CARES”) ha creado una deducción caritativa universal de $300.00 para los contribuyentes. Esta es una deducción “por encima de la línea”, lo que significa que estará disponible para todos los contribuyentes, no solo para aquellos

que declaran.

Ejemplo: Un contribuyente que toma la deducción estándar y hace una donación en efectivo de $300.00 (no acciones) a una organización benéfica calificada, como su parroquia, puede reclamar la deducción de $300.00 al calcular su ingreso bruto ajustado. La excepción puede hacerse en cualquier momento

durante el resto de 2020. Esta deducción es adicional a la deducción estándar del contribuyente.

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN THE

CHAPEL BURNS FOR A GOOD

HEALTH OF STEPHEN FLEMING

JESUS SAVES Be honest with yourself. Have you ever gone astray? Have you ever given in to temptation or weakness? Do you sometimes feel that you

need someone to help you get your life on back on track? Most people could answer yes to any of these questions. As people of faith,

we know that Jesus understands the struggles we face and gave his life to save us from our human frailty. The Lord knows that we need

help in order to live as God’s people in the world. There are people and powers that seek to mislead us, who offer a way that may for a

time be appealing, even though it does not lead to the true way of life, love, and peace. We can be readily dissuaded and distracted from the ways of holiness. We easily lose our way, lured by the trappings of material pos-sessions, wealth, or social status. Jesus is our only real way, the door that leads to meaning

and peace in this earthly time, and to life everlasting.

GOOD NEWS! When Peter faced the crowds on Pentecost, he was emboldened by the Holy Spirit and

proclaimed the truth of Jesus Christ passion-ately to those who gathered to hear him. There was likely part of him that was not

quite sure what to expect, knowing that a few weeks prior, crowds of people had chanted

“Crucify him!” as Jesus was sentenced to a cruel and unjust death. The people who

heard Peter were moved by his witness, com-pelled to acknowledge their sinfulness and to

accept the news of salvation through Jesus Christ as good news, the gospel that

changes everything.

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF

OVIDIO GONZALEZ

¡LA BUENA NUEVA! Cuando Pedro enfrenta a la multitud en Pente-costés, él fue animado por el Espíritu Santo y

proclamó apasionadamente la verdad de Jesu-cristo a aquellos que se reunieron para escu-

charlo. Seguramente había algo en él que no esta-ba seguro de que esperar, sabiendo que unas semanas antes, las multitudes habían coreado

“crucifíquenlo” cuando Jesús estaba sentenciado a una muerte cruel e injusta. Las personas que

escucharon a Pedro se conmovieron por su testi-monio, obligados a reconocer su pecaminosidad y a aceptar el anuncio de la salvación por medio de Jesucristo como Buena Nueva, el Evangelio que

lo cambia todo.

JESÚS SALVA Se honesto contigo mismo; ¿te has ido por el mal

camino? ¿Has caído en la tentación o en la debilidad? ¿Sientes que algunas veces necesitas a alguien para

ayudarte a volver a encarrilar tu vida? Muchas per-sonas podrían responder sí a cualquiera de estas

preguntas. Como personas de fe, sabemos que Jesús entiende las dificultades que enfrentamos y da su vida para salvarnos de nuestra humana fragilidad. El Se-ñor sabe que necesitamos ayuda para vivir como el

Pueblo de Dios en el mundo. Hay personas y fuerzas que nos inducen al error, que ofrecen un camino que

por un tiempo parece atractivo, incluso aunque no nos lleve al verdadero camino de la vida, el amor y la paz. Podemos rápidamente ser disuadidos y distraídos del camino de la santidad. Fácilmente perdemos nuestro camino, con señuelos de las trampas de las posesiones materiales, la riqueza o una posición social. Jesús es nuestro único camino verdadero, la puerta que nos guía a un significado y a la paz en nuestro tiempo

terrenal y para la vida eterna.
