CONGRATULATIONS TO : LUIS WASCO & BEATRIZ GUAMAN Who will receive the sacrament of Matrimony on May 10, 2014 “Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls, with whom they make up a sole family - a domestic church.” (Blessed John Paul II) THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER First Reading: Acts 2:14, 22‑33 After the Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles, Peter preaches with great enthusiasm to both Jews and Christians. He recalls for them in vivid terms the miracles and wonders that Jesus performed. Second Reading: 1 Peter 1:17‑21 Peter makes reference to the Passover, when the Jews escaped from Egypt because the blood of the paschal lamb was shed. Now they are being saved from sin by the blood of Christ, the Lamb of the New Testament. Gospel: Luke 24:13‑35 Jesus reveals Himself to two disciples on the way to Emmaus. After explaining to them the passages in Scripture which referred to Him, Christ “took bread, broke it, and distributed it to them.” Then they recognized Christ and their “hearts burned within them.” MONTH OF MAY Daily Meditation of the Holy Rosary 6:30PM-7:30 PM (IN CHURCH) Mother’s Day Intention envelopes will be placed on the altar during the entire month of May. MOTHER’S DAY MAY 11, 2014 If you interested in becoming a Catechist for our Parish Religious Education Program please contact Mrs. Maureen Foley or Alicia Lima at 845-356-0054 The dismissal at the end of each Mass is a charge given to Christians, inviting them to work for the spread of the Gospel and the imbuing of society with Christian values. The Eucharist not only provides the interior strength needed for this mission, but is also in some sense its plan. For the Eucharist is a mode of being, which passes from Jesus into each Christian, through whose testimony it is meant to spread throughout society and culture. For this to happen, each member of the faithful must assimilate, through personal and communal meditation, the values which the Eucharist expresses. One fundamental element is found in the very meaning of the word “Eucharist”: thanksgiving. This transcendent point of reference, which commits us constantly to give thanks for all that we have and are, it is also a project of solidarity for all of humanity. The Christian who takes part in the Eucharist learns to become a promoter of communion, peace and solidarity in every situation, a practical commitment to building a more just and fraternal society, practical sharing with the poor: by bending down to wash the feet of his disciples (Jn 13,1), Jesus explains the meaning of the Eucharist unequivocally. SUMMER WITH JESUS FOR CHILDREN & YOUTH June 23, 2014 to August 1, 2014 It is a wonderful and safe way for them to spend the summer months. They have lots of fun learning more about their faith, field trips and other special events each week. Breakfast and lunch are included. The catechists are your friends , fellow parishioner and have all gone through the Safety Environment Training offered by the Archdiocese. Please contact the PREP office at 845-356-0054 for One of the seven spiritual works of mercy is to pray for the living and the dead. It is very important to pray for the intentions of both the living members of our family, as well as for the repose of the souls of our beloved family members by scheduling a mass intention for them throughout the year. Stop by the rectory to arrange for a mass to be celebrated for a loved one. TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA Primera Lectura: Hechos 2:14, 22-33 Luego de que el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre los apóstoles, Pedro predicó con gran entusiasmo tanto a los judíos como a los cristianos. Les recuerdó con gran detalle los milagros y maravillas que Jesús ha hecho. Segunda Lectura: 1 Pedro 1:17-21 San Pedro hace referencia a las festividades de pascua, cuando los judíos escaparon de Egipto pues la sangre del cordero pascual había sido derramada. Ahora se salvarían del pecado por medio de la sangre de Cristo, el Cordero del Nuevo Testamento. Evangelio: San Lucas 24:13-35 Jesús se muestra a dos discípulos en camino a Emaús. Luego de explicarles los pasajes de las Escritura que se refieren a El, Cristo “tomó el pan, lo partió, y se los dió.” Entonces ellos reconocieron a Cristo y “el corazón les ardía en el pecho”.

Por favor de llamar a Maureen Foley o Alcia Lima al 845-356-0054 La despedida al finalizar la Misa es como una consigna que impulsa al cristiano a comprometerse en la propagación del Evangelio y en la animación cristiana de la sociedad. La Eucaristía no sólo proporciona la fuerza interior para dicha misión, sino también, en cierto sentido, su proyecto. En efecto, la Eucaristía es un modo de ser que pasa de Jesús al cristiano y, por su testimonio, tiende a irradiarse en la sociedad y en la cultura. Para lograrlo, es necesario que cada fiel asimile, en la meditación personal y comunitaria, los valores que la Eucaristía expresa. Es decir la acción de gracias: [la Eucaristía] nos obliga a un continuo “dar gracias” por lo todo lo que tenemos y somo; el camino de la solidaridad: el cristiano que participa en la Eucaristía aprende de ella a ser promotor de comunión, de paz y de solidaridad en todas las circunstancias de la vida, al servicio de los últimos, un compromiso activo en la edificación de una sociedad más equitativa y fraterna.: inclinándose para lavar los pies a sus discípulos (cf. Jn 13,1), Jesús explica de modo inequívoco el sentido de la Eucaristía. Meditación Diaria del Santo Rosario 6:30pm-7:30pm (en la Iglesia) Los sobres del día de las Madres para sus intenciones estarán en el altar durante todo el mes de mayo. MAYO 11, 2014 Una de las 7 obras Espirituales de Misericordia es de rezar por los vivos y muertos.

Por favor pase por la rectoría para anotar su intención para ser ofrecida durante la Misa. MESSE DU JOUR DE PÂQUES 1ère lecture : Les Apôtres témoins de la Résurrection (Ac 10, 34a.37-43) Quand Pierre arriva de Césarée chez un centurion de l'armée romaine, il prit la parole : Vous savez ce qui s'est passé à travers tout le pays des Juifs . . . Psaume : Ps 117, 1.4, 16-17, 22-23 R/ Ce jour que fit le Seigneur est un jour de joie, alléluia ! Rendez grâce au Seigneur : Il est bon ! Éternel est son amour ! Qu’ils le disent, ceux qui craignent le Seigneur : Éternel est son amour ! Le bras du Seigneur se lève . . . 2ème lecture : Vivre avec le Christ ressuscité (Col 3, 1-4) Frères, vous êtes ressuscités avec le Christ. Recherchez donc les réalités d’en haut : c’est là qu’est le Christ, assis à la droite... Séquence : À la victime pascale, chrétiens, offrez le sacrifice de louange. L’Agneau a racheté les brebis; le Christ innocent a réconcilié l’homme pécheur... Evangile : Le tombeau vide et la foi des Apôtres (Jn 20, 1-9) Le premier jour de la semaine, Marie Madeleine se rend au tombeau de grand matin, alors qu'il fait encore sombre. Elle voit que la pierre a été enlevée du tombeau. Elle court do... POUR LES ENFANTS ET LES JEUNES C’est la meilleure et la plus sûre façon de passer les vacances d’été.

Pour plus d’informations, contacter le bureau du PREP au (845) 356-0054. Merci. Intention de Messe L’une des sept œuvres de miséricorde spirituelle est de prier pour les vivants et les morts. Il est très important de prier pour les membres vivants de votre famille ainsi que pour le repos des âmes de ceux qui vous aviez connus et aimés. Vous pouvez passer au presbytère pour programmer, tout au long de l’année, les intentions de messe à célébrer pour vos chers. VOIR, COMPRENDRE ET CROIRE Les linges sont toujours en place, affaissés. Rien n’a bougé, mais le corps n’est plus là. Comme parti de l’intérieur. Incompréhensible, strictement. Le disciple que Jésus aimait aperçoit ces linges. Pierre les contemple. Mais tout est insensé. Qui aurait pu avoir l’idée d’emporter le corps nu en remettant tout en place? Et pourquoi? Soudain, entrant à son tour, le disciple voit. Il voit l’invisible. Il «voit» comme on dit: “Je vois ce que tu veux dire.” Autrement dit, il comprend. Il comprend la réalité de ce que Jésus avait annoncé. Alors, il croit ce que Jésus avait dit. Il voit maintenant qu’il “fallait que Jésus ressuscite d’entre les morts” Il y a là d’abord un fait brut, qui s’impose: le tombeau est ouvert, tout est resté en place comme au vendredi soir, mais le corps de Jésus n’est plus là… Reste à comprendre, à interpréter ces indices. La foi en l’annonce que Jésus fait de sa résurrection permet cette interprétation. La rencontre du -Ressuscité vient confirmer qu’on a bien fait de croire, ou vient susciter cette foi. Au soir de Pâques, le Seigneur fera une longue catéchèse avec les disciples d’Emmaüs. Il ouvrira leur esprit à l’intelligence des Écritures. Et il leur apprendra à revenir au geste si surprenant du Jeudi saint: anticipation de sa venue en gloire, réalisation de sa présence. L’Eucharistie célébrée dans la foi demeure, jusqu’au retour du -Seigneur, la manifestation permanente du MOIS DE MAI Méditation quotidienne du Rosaire 6:30PM – 7:30 PM (à l’église) Des enveloppes spéciales à l’occasion de la Fête des Mères seront placées à l’autel pendant tout le mois de mai FETE DES MERES : 11 MAI 2014 E XPOSITION OF THE B LESSED S ACRAMENT Every Thursday at 8:00pm-10:00pm ( Stone Chapel in Spanish) Every Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm & (Divine Mercy Chaplet & Benediction C HOIR R EHEARSALS (C HOIR R OOM 12) Tuesday : 8:00 p.m. - 9:45 p.m. Spanish Choir Rehearsal Thursdays : 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Chancel Singers Rehearsal / 7:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Parish Choir Rehearsal P.R.E.P.

(Excerpt from His Letter to Women: Saint Pope John Paul II) “This word of thanks to the Lord for his mysterious plan regarding the vocation and mission of women in the world is at the same time a concrete and direct word of thanks to women, to every woman, for all that they represent in the life of humanity. Thank you, women who are mothers! You have sheltered human beings within yourselves in a unique experience of joy and travail. This experience makes you become God's own smile upon the newborn child, the one who guides your child's first steps, who helps it to grow, and who is the anchor as the child makes its way along the journey of life. Thank you, women who are wives! You irrevocably join your future to that of your husbands, in a relationship of mutual giving, at the service of love and life. Thank you, women who are daughters and women who are sisters! Into the heart of the family, and then of all society, you bring the richness of your sensitivity, your intuitiveness, your generosity and fidelity. Thank you, women who work! You are present and active in every area of life-social, economic, cultural, artistic and political. In this way you make an indispensable contribution to the growth of a culture which unites reason and feeling, to a model of life ever open to the sense of "mystery", to the establishment of economic and political structures ever more worthy of humanity. Thank you, consecrated women! Following the example of the greatest of women, the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word, you open yourselves with obedience and fidelity to the gift of God's love. You help the Church and all mankind to experience a "spousal" relationship to God, one which magnificently expresses the fellowship which God wishes to establish with his creatures. Thank you, every woman, for the simple fact of being a woman! Through the insight which is so much a part of your womanhood you enrich the world's understanding and help to make human relations more honest and authentic.”
