My dear Parishioners,
This past April 30th, The Gulf Coast Conference of the
Knights of Peter Claver Ladies Auxiliary held its annual
meeting in Mobile, Alabama. I am delighted to say that,
during that meeting, our KPC Ladies Auxiliary, St. Paul of
the Cross Court #301, was named the “Court of the Year”
for its outstanding Service to the Organization. It was an
honor well deserved, and I know that you join me in con-
gratulating the members of Court #301!
I and many of you know personally that the members of
Court #301 work tirelessly not only for our parish but for the
church. Their presence and participation in the ministries
and activities of St. Paul of the Cross has been and continues
to be a marvelous blessing to this parish. Their witness to
the younger generation and their nurturing of the Junior
Knights and Daughters contributes greatly to the ongoing
evangelization of the parish.
go beyond the parish, touching the lives of the forgotten and
the poor, keeping the spirit of Peter Claver alive and well in
our time. Thank you, Ladies of Court #301, may the good
Lord continue to bless and prosper your life and ministry!
— Fr. Jerome, C.P.
CHURCH ETIQUETTE
ON ENTERING THE CHURCH, Catholics approach the Holy
Water, tip their finger or hand into it and bless themselves “in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
should be carried out in a deliberate and reverential manner.
Why, because it signifies who we are as Christians; it is meant
to remind us of our baptism when we became one with Christ
and committed ourselves to walk as his disciples throughout
the course of our lives. It is particularly significant when we
come to celebrate the Eucharist, that beautiful and powerful
act of prayer during which we pray together as God’s family
and unite our prayers to the prayer of Jesus, who is “the Way,
the Truth, and the Life” of our lives as individuals and as
disposes us to enter into the presence of the God whom we
have come to worship.

Human Trafficking
June: Words from Pope Francis: “It is
not possible to remain indifferent before
knowledge that human beings are bought
and sold like goods. I think of the adoption of
children for the extraction of their organs,
prostitute themselves, of workers
exploited and denied their rights of a
voice. This is human trafficking.” For more information,

10º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario/c
Mis Hermanos, hoy empezamos ya la serie de Domingos del tiempo ordinario, que se prolongara hasta finales de Noviembre, cuando comenzaremos el Tiempo de Ad-viento. El mensaje central de hoy es: Dios nos llama a la vida. En otras palabras, nuestro de Dios es el Dios de la Vida. Este an o nos acompan ara el evangelio de San Lucas. Y esta vez lo iniciamos con una historia muy emotiva: Je-su s que se encuentra con un grupo de gente que llevan a enterrar a un joven, hijo u nico de una madre viuda. Una tragedia sobre todo para la madre, que, adema s del do-lor por la muerte del hijo, sufre tambie n porque sabe que quedara sola y desamparada. Pero Jesu s se acerca y le devuelve la vida al joven. Ese sera uno de los grandes signos de la vida nueva que Jesu s nos da y que quiere que nosotros seamos tambie n capaces de dar. Este evangelio nos hace notar que esta realidad de sufri-miento atraviesa toda la historia humana y que nadie escapa a esta realidad. Esta pobre madre, roza el lí mite del sufrimiento humano. En estas ocasiones so lo cuenta el silencio o la palabra que habla al corazo n. Y Jesu s dira a la mujer: “No llores”, y al hijo: “Muchacho, a ti te digo, leva ntate!.” Que es co-mo decir que Dios no quiere que el ser humano llore. Dios no quiere que a una madre se le muera el hijo… el gesto de Elias (que vimos en la primera lectura) es un anuncio de la accio n de Jesu s en favor de esta madre viu-da que nos invita a rezar con el Salmo: “...cambia tu luto en danzas, Sen or, por que me has librado.” Y en la Euca-ristí a anunciamos la muerte del Sen or hasta que vuelva. Mis Hermanos, que este gesto de Jesu s , el Dios de la Vi-da, nos cale hondo en el corazo n y nuestra mente para poder vivir dí a a dí a la Voluntad de Dios, con profunda alegrí a de Corazo n.
P. Alberto, C.P.
Cortesía y Comportamiento en La Iglesia
Al entrar en la Iglesia, los Cato licos se acercan al Agua Bendita, mojan la punta de su dedo o la mano en ella y se bendicen "en el nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espí ritu Santo. Ame n." Se trata de una antigua y muy her-mosa tradicio n que debe llevarse a cabo de una manera premeditada y reverencial. ¿Por que ? porque significa quienes somos como cristianos; es hacernos recordar nuestro bautismo, cuando nos convertimos en uno con Cristo y nos comprometimos a caminar junto a E l como sus discí pulos a lo largo de nuestras vidas. Es particular-mente significativo cuando venimos a celebrar la Eucaris-tí a, ese bello y poderoso acto de oracio n durante el cual oramos juntos como familia de Dios y unimos nuestras oraciones a la oracio n de Jesu s, que es "el Camino, la Ver-dad y la Vida" de nuestras vidas como individuos y como comunidad. Una muestra simple - una "sacramental" – que nos prepara a entrar en presencia de Dios a quien hemos venido a adorar.
Tráfico Humano Junio: Palabras del Papa Francisco “No es posible permanecer indiferentes ante el conocimiento de que hay seres hu-
manos que se compran y se venden como simples bienes. Pienso en la adopcio n de
nin os para la extraccio n de sus o r-ganos, o las mujeres engan adas y ob-
ligadas a prostituirse, en los trabajadores explotados y privados de su derecho a hablar. Esta es la trata de per-sonas”. Visita el sitio web de las Hermanas Cato licas de los Estados Unidos en contra del Tra fico Humano en sis-tersagainsttrafficking.org.
