May there lives be filled with God’s love and joy! THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER WORSHIP ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL Year Two: Focus on the Domestic Church –Marriage & Family Third Sunday of Easter There are many people we admire or revere whom we will never see in person: athletes, artists, actors, etc. We enjoy their work and accomplishments and read about their lives in books and magazines. We sometimes get so involved in who they are that we almost feel like we know them. We may be their biggest fans and then share our love of them with others. We do all of this, yet we have never even see them in the flesh with our own eyes. Some think this is the way with Jesus. They believe he is the Son of God and the savior of the world, but he is still someone up in heaven, and we will get a chance to see him "for real" when we die or when he comes again. They may even say that until those times occur, he resides only in our hearts. But those in the Gospels saw who he was in the breaking of the bread. And today, in 2015, he is here in our midst for all eyes to see. He is here really and truly every time we break the bread. There is no need for worship from afar. Just open your eyes. ©Liturgical Publications Inc. Deacon Corner: (By Deacon Al) May is our traditional month dedicated to Mary, our Blessed Mother. Our Blessed Mother has told us that the rosary is a needed and powerful form of prayer. This is a brief history of our rosary. The rosary is a form of combined prayer and meditation that has been around for over 1200 years. The origin of the rosary dates back to the ninth century where Irish monks would recite and chant the 150 Psalms of the Bible. People living near the monasteries were drawn towards this devotion and were eager to join in with the monks' prayers. Unfortunately the psalms were very hard to memorize and printed copies of the psalms were not readily available. It was suggested to the people outside the monastery that they recite a series of 150 "Our Father" prayers in place of the psalms. This form of devotion became very popular and people devised methods to keep track of their prayers. At first, 150 little pebbles were placed inside small leather pouches to keep count. Then a thin rope having 50 knots, repeated three times, was used instead. Eventually, the instrument of choice became the use of string with small pieces of wood. In later years, the Irish monks traveled throughout Europe and brought this form of devotion with them. In some areas, both clergy and lay people began to recite the "Angelic Salutation" (the first part of what we now know as the "Hail Mary") as part of this devotion. The popularity of this prayer led to the adoption of 50 Angelic Salutations being said for each piece of wood or knot on the prayer string. It is believed that in the year 1214, that the Church received the Rosary in its present form we use today. It was given to the Church by Saint Dominic who had received it from the Blessed Virgin as a powerful means of prayer. Worship Corner Mary App: The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception have released the MARY APP. This FREE app offers a complete resource for information on the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus, in an easy to navigate format. The app has three main chapters with these features: doctrine, devotion, and Mary Plus. Mary’s whole task is to lead people closer to Jesus. The more we get to know her and have a fervent devotion to her, the better she can lead us to her Son. For this reason, the Second Vatican Council states, “Everyone should have a genuine devotion to (Mary) and entrust his life to her motherly care.” EWTN Daily rosary: 9:30pm May 19th Holy Hour (7:00pm) – Rosary and meditation CHRISTIAN FORMATION Believe Out Loud! Live Your Faith! After-L.I.F.E. At the top of the mountain God says, "This is my beloved son. LISTEN to him.” This covenant, Jesus, is God’s final covenant with the people. “Listen to him.” We follow Jesus into the waters of baptism. We make a personal covenant with God. Lent reminds us to prepare to renew our baptismal promises at Easter. A time to reflect and renew. Do I live my life according to the Gospels? Do I “listen to him”?

REFLEXIONES 3er Domingo de Pascua El pasaje del Evangelio de este domingo da continuación al de los discípulos de Emaús, y tiene una frase de mucha importancia: "Les abrió el entendimiento para que comprendieran las Escrituras". Es importante tener esto en mente, nosotros, y aquellas personas que se sienten iluminadas y creen entender las Escrituras de modo personal. Hoy Jesús nos afirma que no podemos comprender las Escrituras si el Señor resucitado no nos da una apertura de mente y corazón. Y les dijo: "Esta escrito que el Mesías tenía que padecer y había de resucitar de entre los muertos al tercer día". Les abrió, pues, los ojos a los discípulos de Emaús. Para nosotros esto debe de significar un compromiso de leerlas con ojos nuevos. ¿Comprendemos esto? Jesús nos enseña a mirar, nos ayuda a hacer caso de su palabra y nos invita a amar a Dios. O sea, nos guía a hacer camino con él, ser discípulos del Resucitado y compartir la mesa de la Eucaristía. El Señor Jesús da luz nueva a nuestros corazones y nos abre perspectivas sobre la realidad que vivimos, especialmente sobre personas y acontecimientos concretos. Las tres lecturas nos invitan a la conversión y al perdón. Dios nos mueve a esto, pues perdona nuestros pecados mediante la muerte y resurrección de su Hijo, sin olvidar que la resurrección de Cristo se experimenta por medio de la fe. Nuestra búsqueda, de tal manera, se debe enfocar en la experiencia: es así que nuestra fe se desarrollará. Por esa razón es importante seguir compartiendo nuestra fe con los recién bautizados. Pidámonosle al Señor en esta Eucaristía lo siguiente: ¡Señor, ábrenos el entendimiento ante cada acontecimiento que nos suceda! ©Liturgical Publications Inc.
