Dear Families:
Last Thursday, May 26th was the day of the Lord's Ascension (40 days a er His resurrec on). For pastoral reasons and for the good of the faithful, our Diocese transferred the celebra on to this Sunday.
The Ascension of the Lord in the sight of His disciples marks the end of the appari ons. Jesus instructs them to remain together for a few days wai ng for His gi to the world: The Holy Spirit, the event to be celebrated next Sunday.
Those first disciples are no longer what they were when Christ had died on the cross and the first days of the resurrec on; they now feel confident of Jesus, their faith is absolute certainty that Jesus lives and that they are called to a mission in the world.
At this me, the disciples had been instructed by Jesus as to what awaited them. They would no longer be fishermen by trade, but rather fishers of men for the Kingdom of God. They are called to a mission, the fulfillment of which will require the power of the Spirit. A voice tells them to stop looking at the sky and go into the world to complete their career. Jesus warned them that they would be persecuted and killed, and that their lives will be like the grain of wheat that falls into the earth and bears much fruit. He makes them see that a feast awaits them in the Father's house:
that is the new and defini ve life to which we are called. They must fight for this life and help everyone win it.
Here we are now among fears and apprehension, o en forge ng that God has promised us a full life in the pursuit of this mission. I always say that this life of ours now only makes sense if we allow the Spirit to guide us to the discovery of eternal values, along the way. Certainly, there are challenges at every turn, not only in living and celebra ng our faith as a community, but also in exercising that faith in the bosom of your family, to inculcate that faith into the lives of your children. There is no excuse for not praying to God; for not speaking to the children of God's love. There is me if you turn off the TV and put down the cell phone. Then you can talk with your children about how they can find God in the world.
Then, on Sunday, you can join your faith community in the church, and enjoy the fellowship of those friends and neighbors who think and feel like you do.
We should not, however, fall into the tempta on of a ending to God only when we are in Church, or even worse, succumbing to any tempta on to dri away from the church, feeling that you do not need, and cannot benefit from the synergy of the faith community, as you express your faith in God.
The apostles personally and individually received the joy of the peace and presence of Jesus, but they experienced this most fully when in community with each other. Let us not forget this fundamental fact in the life of the Church.
May Jesus be the friend of our children, and the heart that beats in our homes.
May God bless you,
Father Celestino, Pastor
Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord May 29, 2022
: Acts 1:1-11; Ephesians 1:17-23; Luke 24:46-53 Psalm 47
Solemnidad de La Ascensión del Señor 29 de Mayo del 2022
Hechos 1:1-11; Efesios 1:17-23; Lucas 24:46-53 Salmo 47 [46]
Queridas familias:
El pasado jueves día 26 de mayo, fue el día de la Ascensión del Señor (40 días después de resucitar). Por razones pastorales, para el bien de los fieles, nuestra Diócesis traslada la celebración a hoy, domingo.
La Ascensión del Señor a la vista de sus discípulos marca el final de las apariciones. Jesús les encarga estar reunidos durante unos días en espera de su regalo al mundo: El Espíritu Santo, cuyo acontecimiento celebramos el próximo domingo.
Aquellos primeros discípulos no son ahora lo que fueron cuando Cristo acababa de morir en la cruz y los primeros días de la resurrección; ahora se sienten seguros de Jesús; su fe es de una seguridad absoluta en que Jesús vive y que ellos están llamados a una misión en el mundo.
En este empo los discípulos habían sido instruidos por Jesús para lo que les esperaba. Ya no iban a volver a ser los pescadores de oficio sino los pescadores de hombres para el Reino de Dios. Están llamados a una misión para la que necesitarán de la fuerza del Espíritu para cumplirla. Una voz les dice que dejen de mirar al cielo y que vayan al mundo a completar su carrera; Jesús les ha adver do que los
perseguirán y matarán y que sus vidas van a ser como el grano de trigo que cae en la erra y da mucho fruto. El les hace ver que los espera un banquete en la casa del Padre; es decir, la nueva y defini va vida a la que estamos llamados. Por esta vida deben luchar y ayudar a todos a conquistar.
Aquí estamos nosotros ahora entre miedos y temores
olvidándonos muchas veces de que Dios nos ha prome do una vida plena después de nuestro paso por ésta. Yo siempre digo que esta vida nuestra de ahora sólo ene sen do si la vamos adornando con valores de eternidad. Ciertamente que hay dificultades a cada paso, sobre todo para vivir y celebrar comunitariamente nuestra fe, pero no hay ninguna para que vivas tu fe en el seno de tu familia y con tus hijos. No hay ninguna excusa para no rezar a Dios, para no hablar a los hijos del amor de Dios. Hay empo si apagas el televisor para dialogar por teléfono con tus hijos y hablar de las cosas de Dios. Y después siempre que puedas irás con gusto a reunirte con tu comunidad en la Iglesia y disfrutar del gozo de sen r que muchos piensan y sienten como tú.
No caigamos en la tentación de tratar a Dios sólo cuando estamos en la Iglesia, ni tampoco caer en la tentación peor de no necesitar de la Iglesia y de tu comunidad para vivir y expresar tu fe en Dios.
Los apóstoles reciben personal e individualmente el gozo de la paz y de la presencia de Jesús, pero estando reunidos en comunidad. No olvidemos este hecho fundamental en la vida de la Iglesia.
Que Jesús sea el amigo de sus hijos y el corazón que late en nuestros hogares.
Que Dios los bendiga,
Padre Celestino, Párroco

“The Lord says to us, ‘Do not fear: I am with you’ (Isaiah 41:10). He speaks these words not as one who merely observes our pain, but as one who experienced immense suffering. And the very wounds that bear witness to his suffering indicate the essence of our iden ty and worth: we are loved by God. Reflec ng on the healed wounds of the Risen Christ, we see that even our most difficult trials can be the place where God manifests his victory. He makes all things beau ful.
He makes all things new.”

“El Señor nos dice: 'No temas, porque yo estoy con go' (Isaías 41,10). Él habla no solo como alguien que observa nuestro dolor, sino como quien ha sufrido inmensamente. Y esas heridas indican la esencia de nuestra iden dad y valor: somos amados por Dios. Al reflexionar sobre las heridas sanadas del Cristo Resucitado, vemos que nuestras pruebas más di ciles pueden ser el lugar donde Dios manifiesta su victoria. Él hace que todo sea hermoso, que todo sea nuevo”.
