Un mensaje del p. Carlos
Comunidad Universal de Salvación.
El domingo VI de Pascua nos hace sentirnos pertenecientes a una Iglesia que ha puesto como centro de su vida a Dios Padre, Al Hijo y al Espíritu santo, somos hijos de una Iglesia apostólica, trinitaria, misionera que hasta el dia de hoy nos sigue invitando a vivenciar la vida espiritual a través de nuestros actos y decisiones.
En los Hechos de los Apóstoles, vemos cómo actúa ese espíritu liberador con los discípulos procedentes del mundo gentil, no circuncidados,. La circuncisión era el rito más importante para señalar la pertenencia religiosa al Pueblo de Israel que, aunque establecida por Abraham, se atribuía a Moisés, por ser el autor de la Ley. Por ello, su incumplimiento constituía una transgresión de consecuencias legal y moralmente severas. En cambio, aquellas primeras comunidades cristianas tuvieron el valor y la fuerza del Espíritu para resolver el conflicto haciéndose la pregunta fundamental: “¿Por qué poner a prueba a Dios, tratando de imponer a los discípulos un yugo que ni nosotros ni nuestros antepasados hemos podido soportar? ”… cuando Dios “dio testimonio a favor de ellos otorgándoles el Espíritu Santo como a nosotros” (Hch 15, 8-10).
La pregunta sigue siendo válida hoy: ¿Qué es lo fundamental para seguir siendo fieles al mensaje de Jesús? En este mismo sentido, los capítulos 10 y 11 de los Hechos de los Apóstoles son todo un ejemplo de tolerancia religiosa por la acción del Espíritu. Una lectura de los mismos nos ayuda a sentir ese espíritu y a entender la tolerancia y la frescura de aquellas primeras comunidades. Lo importante para vivir y animar la comunidad eclesial es esa forma de comunión humana que, animada por la libertad del Espíritu, nos permite ver en la humanidad de los otros la presencia de Dios, y esto es lo realmente central.
Nos acercamos cada vez más a Pentecostés, y Jesús hoy, en su discurso de despedida (recordemos que el próximo domingo celebraremos la Ascensión), quiere animar a sus discípulos para que no estén tristes. Les deja la paz y una promesa que se cumplirá en Pentecostés: El Espíritu Santo vendrá.
La partida del Maestro causará tristeza y miedo en su grupo de discípulos. Pero Jesús quiere que sigan teniendo paz y ánimos, y que más bien se alegren de que él vuelva al Padre, porque de alguna manera eso hará que les esté más presente en su vida futura: «la paz les dejo, mi paz les doy… no tiemble su corazón ni se acobarde… si me amaran se alegrarían de que vaya al Padre» Paz y Bien.

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
HONOR MARY
MOTHER OF GOD
MOTHER OF GOD
THIS WEEKEND, we invite you to bring to Mass on May 21 and May 22 your Mary items and icons such as statues, pictures, and medallions to be placed at our Jesus altar before Mass.
We will have a special blessing over items as well as honor our Blessed Mother with some Marian song and prayer.
My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and act on it. Luke 8:21
HONORING MARY IN YOUR GARDEN
More than 30 flowers and herbs bear legends about Mary’s life. Many of the plants can be easily grown in your own Mary Garden, a garden dedicated to Mary and containing her image and plants associated with her by name or legend. They are found in Mary Gardens throughout the world, should you want to make a pilgrimage in Mary’s honor. The legends and reflections mentioned in this article can take us, in spirit and in our hearts, on a virtual journey with Mary. Read more

MEET FRIAR ISRAEL
We are so blessed to have Friar Israel with us this summer. You will likely see him around the parish helping in many ways. When you do see him give a big OLG welcome and introduce yourself. We did a little Q&A with Friar Israel that you might find interesting.
Q: Your name is very unique! Can you tell us a little about it and what should we call you…I’ve heard people call you Father, Israel, Friar Israel, and Brother Israel?
A: I usually go by "friar Israel," and sign everything as "fra," which is just an abbreviation of "friar," but am sometimes also called "fra." It all gets confusing, but it all means the same thing: brother. Nevertheless, I go by "friar Israel."
Q: You are studying to be a priest, right? What were some unexpected things you found out from being on this journey?
A: At present I am entering my third year of theological studies in preparation for the priesthood. Something I've learnt, which really is the secret to being a good minister, is that flexibility, charity, and courtesy are some of the most important skills for a ministry and are qualities that I hope to exemplify in my own ministry.
Q: Do you have a favorite Saint?
A: My favorite saints, after Our Lady, are three: Sts. Sebastian, Dionysius the Areopagite, and St. Bonaventure. All three of them continuously inspire me to strive to completely give myself over to the Love of God and live in ecstatic union with Our Triune God.
Q: If you could have some sort of superhero power, what would you want?
A: I've always loved flying. . . so if I could have any superpower, it would probably be the power of flight. Ha!
fra Israel-Sebastian N. Arauz-Rosiles OFM Conv.
Friar Israel is currently a student-friar in theological studies at The Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, TX. Friar Israel spent his early years growing up in San Francisco and the Central Valley of California. His family moved to Reno, NV while he was in elementary school. He got to know the friars through their ministry in Reno and, after graduating from High school, he entered the Order. He looks forward to his ordination and would like to continue to higher philosophical studies and to teach as a friar-priest. He has a great love for learning languages, the study of history, and reading. Friar Israel has a love for the Sacred Liturgy in both the Latin and Byzantine traditions and he always has time for food, wine, and good conversation. Feel free to say hello.
