SANTA CATALINA DE SIENA
(1347-1380)
Día de Fiesta 29 de Abril
Nuestra parroquia tiene la bendición de tener esta santa patrona. Santa Catalina de Siena nos ofrece no solo un fuerte testimonio de la fe católica, sino también un modelo de cómo vivir nuestra fe con valentía y con-fianza. Santa Catalina fue muy devo-ta en sus oraciones y amor a Jesús. También es una de las pocas santas que fue bendecida con el milagro de los estig-mas, teniendo las llagas de Cristo en sus manos, lo que la une más estrechamente al sufrimiento de nuestro Señor. Nació en una familia muy numerosa y, a una edad temprana, nuestro Señor se le apareció en una visión en la iglesia de Santo Domingo y la llamó a hacer un trabajo especial. El hecho de que esto ocurriera en una iglesia llamada Santo Domingo prefiguró su eventual llamado a los dominicos de la Tercera Orden, la Orden de Predicadores. A medida que crecía en fe y sabiduría, compartió consejos con líderes civi-les e incluso con el Papa.
En este momento en la Iglesia, el Papa vivía en Aviñón, Francia, debido a los disturbios en Roma. Catalina imploró al Papa Gregorio XI que regresara a Roma, e incluso llegó a decirle que se levantara "Levántate, padre, como un hom-bre". Debido a sus extensos escritos que nos enseñan más sobre nuestra fe católica y cómo depositar nuestra confianza en Dios, en 1970 fue declarada Doctora de la Iglesia. Ade-más, también recibió los estigmas; las heridas de Cristo en sus manos y pies, pero pidió que Nuestro Señor solo le per-mitiera verlo y experimentarlo. Santa Catalina de Siena y Santa Teresa de Ávila son las primeras Doctoras de la Igle-sia.
Oración a Santa Catalina de Siena
Señor Dios, tú has mostrado a santa Catalina el amor infi-nito hacia todos los hombres, hechura de tus manos, que arde en tu corazón . Ella compartió generosamente esta revelación y la vivió en todas sus consecuencias hasta el heroísmo. Concédenos que podamos seguir su ejemplo, con-fiando en tus promesas y aumentando nuestra fe en tu pre-sencia en cada sacramento, especialmente en el sacramento de tu perdón. Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

www.communitybank.tv Page SevenRESPONDING TO THE CALL
Do we truly know the voice of Christ? Do we truly re-spond to the voice of our shepherd with our own distinctive voice? How often we attempt to imitate those around us, appropriating the response of another member of the flock to Christ. Perhaps we need to balance the image of being sheep of one flock with the image from the second reading, which tells us that we are all children of God. What child has pre-cisely the same interaction with parents as his or her sib-lings? Instead, they frequently do and say things to distin-guish themselves in the eyes of their parents.
Whether we use the image of children or of sheep to understand our relationship with Christ, we believe that we are all known and called by name. With this great gift comes a responsibility: to respond to the call with our own distinc-tive voice, to take time to discern exactly what our call is, to determine precisely what the will of the Father is for each of us.

May 1st is the feast of St. Joseph the worker, established by Pope Pius XII in 1955. While not the primary celebration of St. Joseph, this feast allows us to celebrate St. Joseph in a way that we can all relate to him —as workers.
St. Joseph, model of the dignity of human work, pray for us! St. Pamphilus, pray for us. St. Catherine, pray for us.
