Second Collection for Nepal Sunday, May 16th & 17th A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal in the late morning of April 25th, toppling buildings and homes, causing widespread panic, and claiming thousands of lives. Our Church mourns the terrible suffering of our brothers and sisters affected by this powerful earthqueake. Please join with the Catholic community across the United States in responding to our suffering brothers and sisters through a special collection for the work of the Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in Nepal. CRS is the official humanitarian agency of the Catholic community in the U.S. and is already responding to urgent needs for shelter, water and food in Nepal. For more information, go to www.CRS.org. 3 In Our Year of the Family God gives us a Spiritual Mother The Month of May is a month for mothers! So step aside dads, its mom’s month! And how important is the mother in the life of the family! And so we set this time aside to honor them and the important role they play. From the Cross, Christ gives us His mother. There is a maternal dimension to Christianity as well -- a spiritual maternity. In giving birth to Jesus physically, Mary also gives birth to us spiritually, becoming our spiritual mother and mother of the Church. And this is highlighted at the Cross: “This is your Mother” (John 19:26). It’s not just a symbolic gesture; Christ gave us the gift of his mother for a purpose. As our spiritual Mother, Mary has a special role to play. As a woman, moms have a special gift – the gift of the feminine. Through the writings of St. Edith Stein we gain some deeper insight on the role of women and motherhood in particular. Such were the insights too of Pope St John Paul II (Christifideles Laici, n. 51): 8 in a special way the human being is entrusted to woman, precisely because the woman in virtue of her special experience of motherhood is seen to have special sensitivity toward the human person and all that constitutes the individual’s true welfare, beginning with the fundamental value of life. Motherhood lies at the center of the New Covenant, because the Father entrusts His Son to a mother. This applies to every child as well, trusting our care totally to a mother as we pass through the “utter helplessness and dependency” stage. This precedes coming to know the father. And this applies too in our relationship with God the Father. We must first be entrusted to a mother before there is any possibility of our coming to know the father, whether human or divine. And what a mother we all have! So -- Let us entrust our Families to Mother Mary! The motherhood of Mary serves as a model for all motherhood F and for life! She is the incomparable model of how life should be welcomed and cared for. How willingly will she hasten to our aid for our families when we need her! With what love will she refresh us, and with what strength sustain us! So we individually, and also collectively as a family, should trust Our Lady to lead us to Christ and help us in our daily struggles. We come to knock at the door of Mary’s house. She will open it and let us in and will show us her Son. But F will ask us to F “Do whatever he tells you!” Rich May, Communications Subcommittee Prayer Groups & Scripture Studies Adult Scripture Study Join us on Sunday afternoons 3:45-5:15 PM in Room 114/115, and on Thursday nights, 7:00-8:30 PM in the Mini Hall.

Divine Mercy Stained Glass Window In November, 2014 a group of Mary Queen parishioners requested and received approval for a community sponsored full sized stained glass window of the Divine Mercy Image.

The survey may be found on the Mary Queen website at www.maryqueencatholicchurch.org, in the church narthex or in the parish center. Please return your survey by Monday, May 18, 2015. Neophytes We have followed the catechumens in our parish as they went through the process with the various rites and dismissals. We watched them be sent to the cathedral for election and come back called the “elect.” Now, after they have completed their initiation, they are called “neophytes.” The word means a beginner or novice. They are just beginning their journey as fully initiated members of our Catholic community. We share their joy and offer them our support and prayers. Copyright © 2014 Resource Publications, Inc.
