Date Page Four 6th Sunday in Easter B-2015 My brothers and sisters in the Lord, In the first reading today, we hear one of the most important teachings we will ever learn and one that St. Peter needed to learn. Putting it plainly, God does not have any favorites. Everyone who does what is right is acceptable to God. There are no barriers, no dividing lines that separate us from one another. No race, no color, no creed. In Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, the Lord tells us that not even enemies are to be treated differently. He tells us, “Love your enemies and do good to those who treat you badly.” This teaching can be seen in practice on every page of the Gospels, where Jesus is confronted regularly by His opponents. He treats them all with fairness, openness and honestly. This fair dealing with difficult people is love in action. It comes to its high point on Calvary, when the dying Jesus asks the Father to forgive those who crucified Him with the words: They know not what they do.” At the Last Supper Jesus gives us the commandment to, “love one another, as I have loved you.” Love is not just a feeling. It is a response to God’s loving us first, and a grace of Christ to love others. The love of God inspires us to love others and to make no exceptions. The simple words we must always remember, “Those who honor me I will honor.” We honor the Lord by the simple and faithful observance of His commandment, “Love one another.” Today we celebrate and honor the special gift of our mothers, both living and deceased. It is a day to give thanks to God for this precious gift. Each one of our mothers has given us the gift of life. Each one of our mothers has given us their own special legacy of love. Each mother created by our heavenly Father so unique, so different, each with her own special talents. Let us pray for them that the Lord gives them good health and that we may always respect and honor them. And for those who have gone home to the Lord, may they be at peace and rewarded for the life and love they have given us. A reminder to keep in your prayers the men who will be Ordained as Deacons next Sunday, May 17, at 12:00 noon in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Among those being ordained is one of our own parishioners, Vincent D’Agostino. Please pray for Vincent and his classmates as they make this step toward the priesthood. The following Saturday, May 23, is Priesthood Ordination. We pray for the men being ordained to the Priesthood of our Lord Jesus. Among those being ordained is Deacon Antonio who has been with us his year. He will have his Mass of Thanksgiving, Saturday 30, at 5:30 PM. Please return the response form found in this bulletin for the reception following mass. Please continue to pray for all vocations and especially for an increase to the priesthood as well as the Religious Life. A Blessed and happy day to all the women of our parish, may our Blessed Mother, Mother of all, intercede for us and bring our prayers to the throne of our heavenly Father. Happy Mother’s Day! Peace and prayers always, Fr. Joe A Child’s Angel Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. One day he asked God: “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?” “Among the many Angels, I chose one for you; she will be waiting for you and will take care of you.” “But tell me, here in Heaven, I don’t do anything else but sing and smile, that’s enough for me to be happy.” “Your Angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your Angel’s love and be very happy.” “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language that men talk?” “Your Angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear and with much patience and care, your Angel will teach you how to speak.” “And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?” “Your Angel will place your hands together and teach you how to pray.” “I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?” “Your Angel will defend you, even if it means risking her life!” “But I will always be sad because I won’t see you anymore.” “Your Angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.” At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard and the child in a hurry asked softly, “Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my Angel’s name.” “Your Angel’s name is of no importance - - you will call your Angel ‘Mommy’.” (Author Unknown) Page Five Saturday, May 9 & Sunday, May 10 Saturday: 5:30 & 7:00 PM Sunday: 8:00 & 10:00 AM; 12:00 Noon Masses in Honor of All Mothers Living & Deceased Monday, May 11 7:00 AM Margaret Carannante...The Grullon Family 8:45 AM Mario Tamburri...Gennaro & Maria Cifelli Tuesday, May 12 7:00 AM Anthony F.

No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” - John 15:12-13 Do you love Jesus? Do you consider Him your friend?

Perhaps no other area of parish life is more shaped or challenged by the expectations of our culture. An old Irish proverb, “Marry in Lent and you’re soon to repent,” is amplified by another warning: “Marry in May and rue the day!” Memories of old pagan parties in May endured, and the Irish felt wedding receptions in May would be a stress on community morals. Queen Victoria did not approve of May weddings either, and her influence is still felt on family calendars, as is her daughter’s introduction of the white wedding gown. Sometimes we mistake customs and curiosities for tradition. Tradition with a capital “T” has to do with Christ’s miraculous rescue of the wedding feast at Cana, his affirmation of a man and woman pledging lifelong fidelity at the heart of a community’s feast. The Church cherished that memory over time, but it took a millennium for us to think of marriage as a sacrament. Much of the rest of what we associate with weddings has to do with culture, customs, and family practices. A wise rabbi once said that “tradition is not wearing your father’s hat; tradition is having a child.” Don’t let Queen Victoria reign over your wedding plans! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. DEEP DEBT My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother.
