SOCIAL CONCERNS
The Poor Box for the month of May is for the McKenna
Center, in Washington, DC. This social service agency
began in 1983, under the initial urging of Fr. Horace
McKenna, SJ, and with the encouragement of Cardinal
Hickey. The McKenna Center serves homeless men and
provides shelter, training, drug and alcohol counseling,
emergency food, rental, and utility assistance, and most
importantly, a place where men can regain their self
respect.

Thomas in the Virgin Islands, suffragen see of the
Archdiocese of Washington, will be at St. Bartholomew

and the bishop travels to DC annually to perform
Confirmations for the archdiocese and to visit several
parishes seeking financial assistance. Please be as
generous as you can.
The Second Collection next week will be for Catholic
Relief Services. This Collection supports six Catholic
agencies that touch more than 100 million lives around

Thought of the week:
A divine voice spoke to my soul,
saying, “I did not love you as a joke.” These words caused
me mortal pain for immediately the eyes of my soul were
opened and I saw all that he suffered in life and death…and
that it was not as a joke but because of perfect and tender
love that he loved me. –Blessed Angela of Foligno

SEXTO DOMINGO DE PASCUA
10 DE MAYO DE 2015
Dios sale a nuestro encuentro con un amor más fuerte que
el pecado y la muerte. Cristo es la revelación del amor del
Padre que se hizo hombre y salió al encuentro de los
enfermos de alma y de cuerpo y murió en la Cruz y
resucitó. Por amor sigue saliendo a nuestro encuentro y
nos ofrece el sacramento del Bautismo. Por la fuerza del
Espíritu Santo, participamos de la vida divina, somos hijos
adoptivos de Dios y herederos de la gloria. ¡Amor con
amor se paga! Hagamos de nuestra vida de bautizados una
respuesta de amor. La señal de que amamos a Dios y
gozamos de su amistad, es el amor sincero entre hermanos
porque somos hijos de Dios. Si el amor que Dios nos tiene
se manifiesta en Jesucristo que nos perdona el pecado y
nos hace portadores del gozo de su intimidad, nosotros
tenemos que reflejar ese mismo amor en la entrega
caritativa. El mundo que nos rodea tiene crisis de amor,
por eso está como triste, como crispado. Necesitamos una
verdadera conversión: dejar la cultura del pecado y de la
muerte, recuperar la gracia, vivir como hijos de Dios, ser
portadores del verdadero amor, fuente de paz y alegría.
MAY 10, 2015
