Un mensaje del p. Carlos
La pascua de Resurreccion como tiempo liturgico llegara hasta la solemnidad de pentecostes, escucharemos la lectura de Hechos de los Apostoles y muy recomendable , tener nuestra lectura personal continuada acerca de los hechos ocurridos despues de la muerte y resurreccion de Jesus.
Conviene reflexionar sobre lo que implica concretamente la fe en la resurrección de Jesús; esto es, el testimonio de que él continúa vivo y actuando no ya físicamente, sino a través de la comunidad que ha asumido con el coraje y la valentía de su Maestro el proyecto del Reino.
La Resurrección carece de pruebas históricas, y el creyente no las necesita. La prueba más segura y contundente nos la da, precisamente, la comunidad misma de creyentes que se fue formando alrededor de la fe en la Resurrección y que da testimonio de ella a través de una experiencia vital que ha evolucionado desde una total ignorancia e incapacidad para comprender a Jesús, hasta un cambio tan radical que ya nadie teme dar testimonio de que Jesús está vivo y que su proyecto sigue adelante.
Con una valentía increíble, aquellos que habían huido abandonando al Maestro en su prendimiento, recalcan ahora que seguirán predicando porque “hay que obedecer a Dios antes que a los hombres”. Esta situación se repetirá innumerables veces en la historia de la Iglesia, cuando la autenticidad del mensaje entre en conflicto con los intereses que se le oponen.
En el evangelio Jesús se presenta a los apóstoles junto al lago Tiberíades, en medio de la vida ordinaria a la que ellos estaban acostumbrados. Habían dejado de ser los pescadores de hombres a que los había llamado Jesús, y tras el supuesto fracaso del Maestro habían vuelto a su oficio de siempre. Allí se les presenta Jesús y aprovecha lo que les es familiar. Y allí Dios les manifiesta su poder y su gloria, a través del símbolo de la pesca y de la comida.
El Resucitado los invita a tirar la red, que recogerá una pesca milagrosa; una red que es símbolo de la Iglesia y de la pesca multitudinaria que harían los seguidores de Jesús después de este encuentro, cuando vuelvan a tomar el rumbo que habían perdido.
El discípulo a quien el Señor más amaba le reconoce en el milagro de la abundancia de peces, y Pedro se siente nada delante de aquel que le encomendó una tarea especifica que dejó de cumplir. Seamos los discipulas y discipulos que Dios nos pide que seamos, no abandonemos nuestras buenas practicas y acciones , antes bien, hagamoslas crecer, especialmente imitando a Maria la primera evangelizadora, este mes de mahyo nos debe ayudar a vivir su presencia evangelizadora en nuestras familias y parroquia. Paz y Bien.

This was the flow when Mass was celebrated in the parking lot. Again, please enter through the 5th Street Gate and exit through the Massey Gate. Thank you and God Bless!

May is traditionally dedicated in a special way to honoring and seeking the intercession of Mary as the Mother of God and Mother of the Church.
“She is that woman who rejoiced in the presence of God, who treasured everything in her heart, and who let herself be pierced by the sword. Mary is the saint among the saints, blessed above all others. She teaches us the way of holiness and she walks ever at our side. She does not let us remain fallen and at times she takes us into her arms without judging us.” —Pope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate, no. 176
Join together in prayers and devotions raised to Mary.

OLG PARISHIONER SPOTLIGHT
The OLG-HMS Titanic Connection
by Fr. Peter Mallin, OFM Conv.
by Fr. Peter Mallin, OFM Conv.
April 15 marks the 110th anniversary of the Titanic disaster. If you are an old-timer to OLG parish you would also know that there is a Titanic connection with OLG parish. Her name was Miss Edwina "Winnie" MacKenzie.
For her journey to America, she was to travel on
Oceanic, but was transferred to Titanic as a result of the coal strikes. She boarded the Titanic at Southampton as a second-class passenger. Titanic was on its maiden voyage and the largest ship afloat when it left Southampton on April 10, 1912. When the ship hit the iceberg at 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912, Edwina left her cabin to investigate. Being told of the iceberg, she went on deck and upon seeing lifeboats being uncovered and prepared for loading she went back to inform her cabin mates. When Edwina returned to her cabin, one of her cabin mates, Susie Webber had already left. The other, Nora Keane, was still dressing. While Nora Keane would leave on Lifeboat 10, Edwina was rescued in (probably) lifeboat 16. She later recalled hearing the ship's band playing Nearer My God to Thee in the ship's last moments. The ship finally sank just 2:20 AM on April 15, 1912.
Of the 2,200 passengers and crew, only 710 survived. It was the worst peacetime maritime disaster in history. Edwina has been suggested as the woman that rescued Assad Thomas. As she waited for her boat to be lowered a Lebanese passenger, Charles Thomas came past with his nephew. He begged for the child to be saved and Edwina took the child into the boat with her.
In 1916 she moved from Massachusetts to Southern California where she joined the Army Corps as an apricot picker. It was in California in 1918 that she married her first husband, Alfred Thorvald Peterson. They subsequently ran a bakery together in Beverley Hills until his death in 1944. Her second marriage was to a Mr. James Corrigan. At 79, in 1964, she married for a third time to James Mackenzie. She lived out her retirement in Hermosa Beach, California, as a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish. On her 90th birthday in 1974, she received a letter from President Richard Nixon. She last crossed the Atlantic in her 99th year after at least 10 previous crossings. Winnie was a favorite at Titanic functions and conventions even until she was in her late 90's. She also lived to celebrate her 100th birthday on June 30, 1984. Edwina McKenzie passed away on 3 December 1984 in Redondo Beach, California. She was buried from Our Lady of Guadalupe Church with a funeral mass celebrated by Fr. Ignatius Hinkle, OFM Conv.
