TODAY, we celebrate World Day of Prayer for Vocations and pray for all Christian vocations– married, single, or-dained, and consecrated religious.

April 17, 2016 Fourth Sunday Of Easter St. Michael Church

Newark, New York

Palabra de Dios Predicada a Todo el Mundo, Sin Fronteras

Pablo y Bernabé habían predicado a los judíos el mensaje de Jesucristo, pero se dieron cuenta que los judíos ha-bían cerrado sus corazones al mensaje de ellos. No querían re-conocer que Jesús cumplió la profecía del Antiguo Testamento. Pablo y Bernabé iniciaron la apertura hacia “los de fuera.” Ellos, que no fueron testigos de la Pascua, tenían mucha fe en Jesús y querían llevar su mensaje de fe a todos que lo deseaban escucharlo. Se puede oír tal anuncio, pero sin la interiorización de la fe, el anuncio puede quedar sin recepción, sin aceptación, sin credibi-lidad por falta de un arraigo espiritual. Los paganos o gentiles aceptaron el mensaje; ¡muchos llegaron a escucharlo dos sába-dos seguidos! El Espíritu Santo les tocó a los paganos y les abrió los oídos; qué alegría tuvieron. Pero los judíos resistieron la prédica de Pablo, y aun perseguían y expulsaron a Pablo y Bernabé de Antioquía. Podemos ver que Pablo y Bernabé die-ron más atención a su prédica a los gentiles. Sí, la Palabra de Dios es para todo el mundo, no importa su origen o si son judíos o cristianos o sin una religión. Me hace pensar en cómo es-toy cuando alguien está com-partiendo su conocimiento de Jesucristo y el evangelio en la vida. A veces estoy súper atenta y otras veces por preo-cupaciones, cansancio, prejui-cios y distracciones no estoy prestándole toda mi atención. Eso puede pasar a cada uno de nosotros, pero ¿qué pode-mos hacer para que el evange-lio de Jesucristo nos toque? Dios nos invita a creer y si estemos dispuestos a abrirnos a la Palabra, el Espíritu Santo nos ayudará a tener fe y estar atentos. Si alguien no acepte el evangelio que ustedes comparten con él, vayan a otro para hablarle de la vida de un cristiano y quién es Jesús y qué ha hecho y dicho Jesús. Hermana Kay

Dear Parish Family, Parenting is not easy, as I am sure many of you realize. As parents, my husband and I always wanted what was best for our children. We were there to guide or “shepherd” our children from the moment they were born. As they grew-up, we began to see them slowly detach themselves from us, because they felt they were able to guide themselves. But our children still turn to us for guidance, especially when they are struggling with some difficulty in their life. Don’t get me wrong, they share with us their happiness as well, but it is at the difficult times they turn back to us to seek our love and guidance. Our children know that if they “fall” we are always here to help them get back up on their feet and offer guidance if they want it. Jesus, our good shepherd, is very much like a parent. He is always there for us to love and guide us to become what He wants us to be. But there comes a time when we want our independence from Jesus, we want to do things our way even if it’s against the will of God. By our desire to do things our way, we bog ourselves down in sin. But we reflect and return to God to seek once again His forgiveness and shepherding. Let’s not turn away from the shepherding of Jesus for it is only through Him that we can obtain salvation in this world. Let us listen to His voice through the daily reading of His word in sacred scripture, through the voices of those here to shepherd us: our Pope, our Bishop, our Priest, and lay ministers whom have heard the voice of God and been led to minister to God’s people. Let us listen to Jesus’ voice in the silence of our prayer, in order that we may hear where Jesus , our good shepherd, is guiding us. Have a wonderful week. Peace & Love to all, June

Be Still and Know That I Am God ~ Psalms 46:10

Dear God in Heaven, Please give us a president that loves

this country and everything it stands for. Please give us a president who respects

you as the one true God. Please give us a president who will,

with your help, restore this nation to its former glory, the way you created her. Please help us to respect what you have

given to us and not take anything for granted ever again.

Please God, weaken the evil and strengthen the good, both within and without.

May our eyes be opened. In Jesus’ name,

Amen. God Bless America.
