TODAY'S READINGS

First Reading -- Jesus tells the disciples that they will be witnesses to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:1-11).

Psalm -- God mounts his throne to shouts of joy: a blare of trumpets for the Lord (Psalm 47).

Second Reading -- God seated Jesus at his right hand in the heavens (Ephesians 1:17-23) or Hebrews 9:24-28; 10:19-23. Gospel -- As Jesus blessed his disciples he parted from them and was taken up to heaven (Luke 24:46-53).

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura -- Jesús les dice a los discípulos que recibirán el poder del Espíritu Santo (Hch 1:1-11). Salmo -- Entre voces de júbilo, Dios asciende a su trono (Salmo 47 [46]). Segunda lectura -- Que el Padre de la gloria del Espíritu de sabiduría y revela-ción (Efesios 1:17-23) o Hebreos 9:24-28; 10:19-23.

Evangelio -- Los discípulos fueron testi-gos de todos los sucesos de la vida de Cristo. (Lucas 24:46-53).

God mounts his throne amid shouts of joy; the LORD, amid trumpet blasts. -- Psalm 47:6

CONTINUALLY PRAISING GOD In both the first reading and the Gospel we are told about Christ's glorious as-cension into heaven. Paul's letter to the Ephesians reminds us that Christ has been seated at God's right hand in heav-en, above every choir of angels. There might be a temptation to stay at an awed distance from Jesus Christ. However, the tone of today's readings is far from that temptation. The tone is exultant and the message is urgent. We are to be his wit-nesses, and the Gospel describes the first witnesses this way: "[W]ith great joy . . . they were continually in the temple praising God" (Luke 24:53).

How can we continually praise God? The answer can be found in the second reading, in which Paul prays that God will give us a "Spirit of wisdom and revelation" in order to know Christ clearly (Ephesians 1:17). We cannot stand at a distance. We are to be enlight-ened and empowered.

CONTINUAMENTE ALABANDO A DIOS Tanto la primera lectura como el Evangelio nos cuentan la gloriosa Ascensión de Cristo al cielo. La carta de san Pablo a los efesios nos recuerda que Cristo está sentado a la derecha de Dios en el cielo, por encima de todos los coros de ángeles. Puede que tengamos la tentación de mantenernos a rever-encial distancia de Jesucristo. Sin embargo, el tono de las lecturas de hoy dista mucho de esa tentación. El tono es exuberante y el mensaje es urgente. Hemos de ser sus testigos, y el Evangelio describe a los primeros testigos de esta manera: "Muy alegres. . . permanecían constantemente en el templo alabando a Dios" (Lucas 24:53). ¿Cómo podemos alabar a Dios continuamente? La respuesta se encuentra en la segunda lectura, en la cual Pablo pide a Dios que nos conceda un "espíritu de sabiduría y de reflexión" para conocer a Cristo claramente (Efesios 1:17). No podemos mantenernos a distancia. Vamos a ser iluminados y fortalecidos.

Suy Nghĩ Nhân Ngày Hiền Mẫu

Người mẹ, người vợ thường chỉ làm những việc âm thầm, những việc bình thường nhưng đôi lúc thật phi

thường, nhưng thật đáng tiếc, lại thường bị lãng quên. Vì thế, ngày của mẹ chính là cơ hội để chúng ta ghi nhận những công lao mà người mẹ đã làm cho chúng ta. Nhiều người cho rằng, con gái thường quan tâm đến mẹ nhiều hơn con trai, vì người ta cho rằng, con trai, nhất là khi đã lập gia đình, phải lo toan nhiều thứ cho gia đình nhỏ của mình, nên ít thì giờ nghĩ đến mẹ.

Nghĩ như vậy cũng không chắc lắm. Trong chúng ta, nhất là những người được sinh sống ở miền nam Việt Nam trước năm 1975, chắc hẳn ai cũng đều được học câu chuyện “Nhị Thập Tứ Hiếu.” Hầu hết các người con hiếu thảo trong “Nhị Thập Tứ Hiếu” đều là “đấng mày râu”. Chỉ có hai người là nữ giới, đó là Khương Thị và Đường Thị.

Kể ra cho vui mà thôi. Bởi vì dù là con trai hay con gái hay nói cách khác, là con cái Chúa, chúng ta đừng quên Kinh Thánh đã dạy rằng : “Ngươi hãy tôn kính cha mẹ, để được sống lâu trên đất mà ĐỨC CHÚA, Thiên Chúa của ngươi ban cho” (Xh 20, 12).

Chúa Giêsu cũng đã lên án thái độ giả hình của những người mượn lý do tôn giáo để bỏ bê bổn phận hiếu thảo đối với cha mẹ. Tông đồ Phaolô coi hành động bội nghịch cha mẹ như là tội ác. Thánh nhân khuyên “trước tiên con cháu phải học cho biết ăn ở hiếu thảo đối với gia đình mình, và đền ơn đáp nghĩa các bậc sinh thành” (1Tm 5, 4). Ngài cũng đã nhắc lại điều răng Chúa dạy: “hãy tôn kính cha mẹ” là điều răn có kèm theo lời hứa, “để ngươi được hạnh phúc và hưởng thọ trên mặt đất này” (Ep 6, 1-3).

Như vậy, dù là con trai hay con gái, ai cũng phải có bổn phận hiếu thảo với cha mẹ.

- Tóm tắt bài viết trên giadinhnazareth.org

Tháng Hoa Dâng Kính Đức Mẹ

Trong tháng Năm, cộng đoàn chúng ta tiếp tục việc sùng kính Đức Mẹ trước Thánh lễ qua việc dâng hoa kính Đức Mẹ vào các ngày 8 & 15. Vào cuối tháng Năm, ngày 29, lễ Mình Máu Thánh Chúa, chúng ta sẽ có rước kiệu Thánh Thể sau Thánh Lễ (sẽ có thêm chi tiết).

Cầu Nguyện Theo Ý ĐTC Trong Tháng Năm

Ý chung: Cầu cho phụ nữ thuộc mọi quốc gia trên thế giới được trân trọng, tôn trọng, và những đóng góp thiết yếu của họ cho xã hội được nhìn nhận.

Ý truyền giáo: Cầu cho các gia đình, các cộng đoàn, và các nhóm biết lần chuỗi Mân Côi để cầu cho việc loan báo Tin Mừng và cho hoà bình.

June 24-26, 2016

This weekend we will continue to seek God’s will for us and we’ll share old and new tools that will help us on our spir-itual journey. More:

www.stfrancisretreat.com/events Knights of Columbus –St. Martin Parish

Our Lady of Fatima, Council 3436 Please note:

On Friday, April 15, over 140 people lost their homes in a fast-moving apartment fire at the Twin Pines Manor apartment complex. One person was seriously in-jured; fortunately, no one was killed. Sunnyvale Community Services is the City of Sunnyvale’s sole emergency assis-tance agency and they are overwhelmed by this crisis. They published the follow-ing brief:

Sunnyvale Community Services is the City of Sunnyvale's sole emergency assis-tance agency and we were quickly pulled into service to help these fire victims. We met families with babies, families with school-age children, seniors living on fixed incomes, and adults and children with chronic medical conditions. In other words, these people are just like us. Ex-cept, now they are homeless.

The community has been remarkably gen-erous. Many individuals, companies and faith-based organizations have donated money, gift cards, and support to these families in need.

Donations are needed – the people affect-ed are currently locataffect-ed in temporary loca-tions, such as motels, so items and goods are not needed, but money and services are needed desperately. Sunnyvale Com-munity Services is taking donations (SVGives), and a Go Fund Me page (https://www.gofundme.com/2hzhv4kk) has been created. For more information, please see http://www.mercurynews.com/ bay-area-news/ci_29772259/sunnyvale- firefighters-battle-two-alarm-blaze-at-apartment.

Thank you for your time and generosity.
