THE MOST HOLY BODY & BLOOD OF CHRIST (Corpus Christi) First Reading: Exodus 24:3-8 Moses explained to the people the commandments he had received from God. Upon hearing them, the entire community immediately agreed they would do as God had told them. Moses then sacrificed young bulls and sprinkled the people with their blood, calling it the blood of the covenant they had made. Second Reading: Hebrews 9:11-15 Jesus did not offer God the blood of sacrifices, but instead he offered up his own blood to cleanse all people of the transgressions they had committed under the first covenant with God. Christ instead brought a new covenant, which, if kept, would lead to eternal life. Gospel: Mark 14:12-16, 22-26 Jesus sent two of his disciples to prepare the Passover supper. During the meal he blessed bread and offered it to them saying, This is my body. He then offered them wine and called it his blood, the blood of the covenant, to be poured out on behalf of many. On this solemn feast, on which we as Catholics are reminded of the special and real Presence of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist, Mark helps us set the scene. Those close to the Lord are sent to make sure all is ready. One man will lead them to another, whose task it was to have the site ready to receive Christ and celebrate the last supper. I am one of the two called to make preparation to receive the Lord again in my life. I am reminded how special it is. The Eucharist is a gift, the center of our faith. Like the centurion I repeat the words Lord I am not worthy but I should add, make me worthy of so great a gift. Help me to devoutly prepare well for the reception of Your gift for me. Make my faith strong to say I believe in your presence in this sacrament, and welcome to my heart. Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus I also say Stay with us for it is almost evening And He does! 50/50 WINNERS February 2015 Dino & Belen Zumba Guamba $375.00 March 2015 Wilhelmina Wolk $455.00 The Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph the Worker Council, will be having an organizational meeting on Monday, June 15, 7:30PM in classroom 13.

SANTÍSIMA SANGRE Y CUERPO DE CRISTO Primera Lectura: Exodo 24:3-8 Moisés explica a la gente los mandamientos que ha recibido de Dios. Al escucharlos, inmediatamente la comunidad entera acuerda hacer lo que Dios ha dicho. Moisés entonces sacrifica un toro joven y salpicó a la gente con su sangre, llamándola la sangre del pacto que habían hecho. Segunda Lectura: Hebreos 9:11-15 Jesús no le ofreció a Dios la sangre de sacrificios, sino que ofreció su propia sangre para limpiar a las personas de las trangresiones que habían cometido durante su primer pacto con Dios. Cristo les trajo un nuevo pacto, el cual, si cumplido, conduce a la vida eterna. Evangelio: San Marcos 14:12-16, 22-26 Jesús envió a dos de sus discípulos a prepara la cena de la Pascua. Durante la comida bendijo el pan y se los ofreció diciendo Este es mi cuerpo. Luego les ofreció el vino y lo llamó la sangre con la que se confirma el pacto, la cual es derramada en favor de muchos. En esta fiesta solemne, cuando a nosotros los católicos se nos recuerda la real y especial presencia de Cristo en el sacramento de la Eucaristía, San Marcos nos ayuda a imaginar la escena. Aquellos cercanos al Señor son enviados a asegurarse de que todo está preparado. Un hombre los llevará a otro, el encargado de tener el lugar listo para recibir a Cristo y celebrar la última cena. Yo soy uno de los dos llamados a hacer los preparativos para recibir al Señor de nuevo en mi vida. Se me recuerda cuán especial es esto. La Eucaristía es un don, el centro de nuestra fe. Como el centurión, repito las palabras: Señor, no soy digno pero debo añadir: hazme digno de tan gran don. Ayúdame a que con toda devoción me prepare a recibir tu don para mí. Fortalece mi fe para poder decir que creo que estás presente en este sacramento, e invitarte a entrar en mi corazón. Como los dos discípulos en camino a Emaús yo también digo: Quédate con nosotros, porque ya es tarde y el día se acaba Y El se queda! Les pido sus oraciones por los 10 Seminaristas que fueron Ordenandos al Sacerdocio el pasado 23 de Mayo en la Catedral de San Patricio: James Benavides Sean Connolly Jose Cruz Ricardo García Adolph Múgala Adolfo Novio Matthew Reinan Stephen Rise Elvin Rivera Jean-Marie Uzabakiriho Te amo, mi Dios, y mi solo deseo es amarte hasta el último respiro de mi vida. Te amo, oh Dios infinitamente amable, y prefiero morir amándote antes que vivir un solo instante si amarte. Te amo, Señor, y la única gracia que te pido es aquella de amarte eternamente. Dios mío, si mi lengua no pudiera decir que te amo en cada instante, quiero que mi corazón te lo repita tantas veces cuantas respiro. Ti amo, oh mi Dios Salvador, porque has sido crucificado por mí, y me tienes acá crucificado por Ti. Dios mío, dame la gracia de morir amándote y sabiendo que te amo. Amén.(San Juan María Vianney) VERANO CON JESÚS PARA NIÑOS Y JOVENES Junio 2015 hasta Agosto 2015 Es una maravillosa forma segura para que pasen los meses de verano. Tienen un montón de diversion, aprenden más sobre su fe, paseos y otros eventos especiales cada semana. El desayuno y el almuerzo están incluidos. Los catequistas son tus amigos, y feligreses.

Gracias.
1ère lecture : Voici le sang de l Alliance que le Seigneur a conclue avec vous (Ex 24, 3-8) En ces jours-là, Moïse vint rapporter au peuple toutes les paroles du Seigneur et toutes ses ordonnances. Tout le peuple répondit d une seule voix : «Toutes ces paroles... Psaume : 115 (116b), 12-13, 15-16ac, 17-18 R/ J élèverai la coupe du salut, j invoquerai le nom du Seigneur. Ou : Alléluia! Comment rendrai-je au Seigneur tout le bien qu il m a fait? J élèverai la coupe du salut, j invoquerai le nom du Seigneur. Il en coûte au Seigneur... 2ème lecture : Le sang du Christ purifiera notre conscience (He 9, 11-15) Frères, le Christ est venu, grand prêtre des biens à venir. Par la tente plus grande et plus parfaite, celle qui n est pas œuvre de mains humaines et n appartient... Séquence : Lauda Sion» (ad libitum) () Sion, célèbre ton Sauveur, chante ton chef et ton pasteur par des hymnes et des chants. Tant que tu peux, tu dois oser, car il dépasse tes louanges,... Evangile : Ceci est mon corps, ceci est mon sang (Mc 14, 12-16.22-26) Le premier jour de la fête des pains sans levain, où l on immolait l agneau pascal, les disciples de Jésus lui disent : «Où veuxtu que nous allions... Enfin, l Alliance est scellée «Toute ces paroles que le Seigneur a dites, nous les mettrons en pratique» (Ex 24, 3). Mais le sang de l Alliance mosaïque ne suffira pas aux enfants d Israël pour le faire Il faudra un fils d Israël, qui sera le Fils unique du Père, pour s offrir «luimême à Dieu comme une victime sans défaut» (He 9, 14). Lui, le Christ Jésus, mettra en pratique tout au long de sa vie la volonté du Père. «Ma nourriture, c est de faire la volonté de Celui qui m a envoyé et d accomplir son œuvre» (Jn 4, 34). Sur la Croix s accomplit l offrande de toute sa vie, de chaque instant de sa vie. «Il est entré une fois pour toutes dans le sanctuaire, en répandant son propre sang» (He 9, 12). Enfin l Alliance est scellée du côté de l homme. Voilà la nouveauté. Et elle est scellée de manière définitive. Voilà l éternité. Le corps livré et le sang versé du dernier repas rendent présente l offrande définitive que Jésus fait de lui-même au Père et que le Père nous donne en communion. Alors nous ne répondrons plus : «Toutes ces paroles que le Seigneur a dites, nous les mettrons en pratique.» Nous répondrons : tout ce que le Seigneur a dit, Jésus l a mis en pratique. Et, présentant le geste eucharistique qui rassemble toute l offrande de toute sa vie sa réponse au Père, nous supplierons le Père de nous unir à Jésus pour que par lui, avec lui et en lui, nous puissions à notre tour faire la volonté du Père. «L Eucharistie nous attire dans l acte d offrande de Jésus. [ ] Nous sommes entraînés dans la dynamique de son offrande», écrit Benoît XVI dans Deus caritas est (no 13). Impossible de recevoir le corps livré et le sang versé sans se livrer pour faire ce que Dieu veut. Nous avons appris avec un immense regret le décès de Nicolas Antoine survenu le mardi 27 Mai 2015. Très cher à nos cœurs, il a su, tout au long de son existence, démontrer sa joie de vivre, beaucoup d amour et de passion pour sa paroisse, sa gentillesse et sa capacité à toujours être à l écoute des personnes qui lui étaient chères. Il laisse derrière lui parents et amis, vers qui toutes nos pensées se tournent en ces moments difficiles. Afin que nous puissions, tous ensemble, lui rendre un dernier hommage, une cérémonie aura lieu le Samedi 13 Juin 2015, à 10 heures AM en l église de St Joseph SAVE THE DATE Pèlerinage à Notre Dame du Cap au Canada du 13 au 15 août 2015. Pour informations, prière de contacter Fritz Joseph (845-352-7330) ou Jacqueline Sanon (845-842-4890)
